Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Upstairs, just one wall away from the elderly person's room, is room 1702.

Shu Yao knelt on the cold floor tiles, her buttocks raised high, her form-fitting yoga pants perfectly accentuating her graceful figure.

However, compared to her stunning figure, her current posture appears quite comical.

She braced herself with her hands on the ground, constantly shifting her upper body, which was pressed against the floor tiles, trying to find a suitable position to hear the sounds downstairs more clearly.

However, because her chest was so full that it pressed firmly against her knees and the floor, it was difficult for her to do movements that ordinary people could easily do.

Fortunately, the silence of the night allowed her to barely make out the sounds coming from downstairs.

It was a series of sounds: banging on doors, heavy objects striking, and the howls of zombies.

Shu Yao's beautiful face changed constantly with the sounds coming from below...

After a long while, until she could no longer hear any obvious movement, she decided to get up.

However, having not eaten for a day and a night and only surviving on tap water, her limbs were almost powerless. She struggled for several moments before finally managing to sit up.

Shu Yao, who was slumped on the ground, still had a look of fear on her face.

Was that noise from downstairs just now made by zombies?

Judging from the noise, it sounds like they're banging on the door.

Shu Yao looked at the security door.

Outside the door, the neighbor, who had turned into a zombie, was unable to leave because of the fire door and was wandering back and forth in the corridor.

It won't... ram the door, will it?

Looking at the appliances still in their packaging and the kitchen, which was cleaner than her face, her eyes gradually welled up with tears...

……

Chen Tuo practically ransacked the old man's kitchen, and then searched the living room and bedrooms as well.

In the end, he successfully carried a large bag of supplies back home.

Looking at the harvest before him, Chen Tuo finally showed a rare smile since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

The old man's house has a lot of things, although most of them are useless clutter, but his food reserves are far more abundant than those in his own home.

Unfortunately, most of these are short-term foods, and there are no fast foods that can be stored for a long time, which is in line with the purchasing habits of the elderly.

A whole host of leafy green and root vegetables, including but not limited to broccoli, carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, and radishes.

There wasn't much grain, oil, rice, or noodles; they were all in small containers, and we've almost used them all up.

It's likely that the elderly person lives alone for many years, and due to their age, their appetite is smaller, so their food reserves are not as plentiful as those in ordinary households.

However, in the freezer compartment, there was a lump of pork weighing about three pounds, and two pounds of cured pork ribs.

There were also more than thirty eggs.

In addition, there are also traditional desserts that older people like to eat, such as Sachima, sponge cake, and mung bean cake.

The food wasn't much, but it wasn't little either; it was enough to sustain Chen Tuo's appetite for at least five days.

The problem is that since it's a short-term food item, the only way to store it is through the refrigerator. If the power goes out at any time, Chen Tuo has to eat it as soon as possible.

More or less makes little difference.

What he really wanted was fast food that could be stored for a long time and was easy to eat.

Besides food, there were some other useful supplies.

Three plastic bottles and two plastic basins can hold dozens of liters of tap water to prevent water shortages in case the water supply is cut off.

The pharmaceutical aspect was also a success.

However, among the many medications available, Chen Tuo only found two boxes of cold medicine that might be helpful for him, despite his high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

However, considering the importance of medicine in the post-apocalyptic world, Chen Tuo took all of them back with him.

After all, in this apocalyptic world, you never know when your blood pressure might spike.

Aside from these things, what surprised Chen Tuo the most was some tools he found at the old man's house.

For example, this screwdriver with a 20cm long handle, this relatively sturdy iron bar that can be bent, and a very flexible PVC plastic pipe...

An hour later.

Chen Tuo wiped his sweat, looked at his masterpiece on the table, and was extremely satisfied.

The screwdriver was tightly bound to the broom handle, forming a new spear.

However, this spear wasn't meant for direct confrontation with zombies; it was meant to be used to stab them through the cat's eye.

The peephole is too small for most knives to penetrate, but a screwdriver is different.

With a length of 20cm, it can be inserted without any obstruction.

As long as you can stab the zombie in the eye with enough force, you can kill it without any risk, even through a door, by piercing it right through.

To make the screwdriver sharper, Chen Tuo even used a whetstone he found at the old man's house to sharpen it for half an hour.

Thus, the screwdriver, which used to struggle even to pierce pork, has been transformed into a truly powerful tool!

The gleaming blade could easily pierce through wooden planks, let alone zombies.

In addition to this zombie-killing weapon, Chen Tuo also specially made a door-opening tool using iron bars and PVC plastic pipes.

Since he only knew the principle and not the details, he could only follow the general idea.

Bend the iron bar into a shape that allows you to reach the handle through the peephole, and then attach a claw-shaped plastic tube to the front end.

Once you find the right spot, just lift it up with force.

The door can be opened easily.

Chen Tuo made a special trip to test it. Apart from the inconvenience of having his view blocked by the doorknob, which required several attempts, there were no major problems.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

After prying open a few more doors, you'll likely become more and more adept at using it.

Chen Tuo was already quite satisfied with making this door-opening tool using only his impressions and readily available materials.

While security doors can be kicked open, having tools to help is naturally better.

Firstly, the sound of kicking the door was too loud; it could be heard throughout half the building.

Secondly, the security door is really sturdy. Don't be fooled by the fact that it can be kicked open with just a couple of kicks; it takes a lot of effort to actually kick it open.

Rather than wasting energy kicking down the door, Chen Tuo preferred to conserve his energy to deal with the zombies.

I checked the time; it was already 2 a.m.

By all accounts, this is only the second day since the apocalypse began...

Without wasting any time, Chen Tuo picked up his backpack and two newly crafted weapons again, intending to eliminate the threat on his floor as soon as possible.

The neighbors across the hall have cleaned up, but the two neighbors next door are still waiting for them...

boom!

In front of door 1603, Chen Tuo smashed it with a baseball bat, instantly shattering the peephole. With a gentle poke, it fell inside.

I looked inside, but there was no one there.

However, a sound came from behind the door of room 1604.

Chen Tuo ignored him and began to pry open the door with an iron bar.

After some fumbling, the door was successfully opened in less than half a minute.

Although the living room looked very clean and there were no signs of zombies, Chen Tuo did not let his guard down and began to search the inner rooms with a baseball bat.

Units 1603 and 1604 are located on the other side of the building. Unlike Chen Tuo's two-bedroom unit, they are three-bedroom units.

As I approached the master bedroom door, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Were you locked in a room when you mutated?"

Chen Tuo muttered something to himself and kicked open the bedroom door.

Compared to the sturdiness of a security door, kicking a bedroom door can only be described as light and easy.

The moment the door opened, a zombie with dyed yellow hair lunged at it.

Chen Tuo, who was prepared, did not panic at all and swung his staff with full force.

With a crisp sound, the zombie fell to the ground, but did not die.

Seeing that he was about to get up, Chen Tuo immediately followed the same three methods as before.

Spears pierce the mouth, baseball bats strike the legs...

Seeing the blond zombie with black blood flowing from its mouth, still trying to bite people, Chen Tuo slowly squatted down.

"Don't panic, let me do some experiments. Once I'm done, I'll free you. Don't worry, it'll be quick..."
