Click.

He secured his own door.

Fully armed, Wang Tao walked out.

His target today was Room 301, but before entering Room 301, he stopped in front of the doors to Rooms 402 and 302 respectively.

It was quiet inside both Room 402 on the fourth floor and Room 302 on the third floorhe could hear nothing. Wang Tao knocked softly on the doors, but there was still no sound from within.

Wang Tao suspected that these two rooms were likely empty, since the outbreak of the zombie virus happened on a workday, and many workers had gone to their jobs.

There should be a survivor in the room below him, Room 401, because prior to the internet disconnection, Wang Tao heard someone inside cursing. This time, Wang Tao didnt bother them.

As for Room 301, his targethe first obtained the key from the electricity meter box, and sure enough, there was a key. He then listened intently at the door but heard no sound from inside.

Then he prepared to knock on Room 301s door.

If nobody was inside the room, there would surely be no response to his knocking.

If someone was in there, out of fear or something similar, they might also not respond. Those bolder might ask who was at the door.

If there were zombies, there would likely be a response, such as growling, pounding on the door, and the like, as zombies are rather sensitive to sound. However, if a zombie was locked inside the room, even if it did respond, Wang Tao might not hear it. But then again, if it was locked inside, he wouldnt have to worry.

So, to sum up

He would knock, and if there was no response, then it was likely safe for him to enter, at least the living room would be.

If there was noise, then there were zombies in the living room.

There might also be the possibility of a survivor lying in wait behind the door to ambush him. This possibility was small, for now, putting aside the question of necessity. If these survivors had the courage to do so, they wouldnt be hiding inside unable to come out. Of course, it was still a possibility, so Wang Tao still needed to be cautious, since its always prudent to be wary of others.

After preparing himself, Wang Tao took a deep breath and then gently tapped on Room 301s door.

Roar!

Listening to the growl and footsteps inside, Wang Tao felt a bit of a headache coming on.

The worst-case scenario had happenedthere was a zombie inside!

And this being a shared room, Wang Tao wasnt sure how many zombies were inside.

After a few seconds of solemn contemplation, Wang Tao decided to listen through the door.

Thud thud~

Roar!

Thud, thud~

Roar

Gripping the homemade short spear tightly in his hand, Wang Taos eyes flickered with thought.

Judging by the sound, there should be only one zombie, I didnt hear a second one. But what if If there are two zombies, I might not be able to handle them. After all, I cant afford any mistakes; getting infected means death

Wang Tao was in turmoil internally, but he was not one to hesitate.

Ive come this far lets do this!

The zombie was now locked inside, and he had the key to open the door. The initiative was with him! If after opening the door, he found two zombies inside, he would immediately close the door and retreat.

It wasnt that he was being cowardlyif he had a better weapon, perhaps he could try to deal with two zombies. But this weapon was hardly up to the task; one stab to the head and it would be done for

Wang Tao gently turned the key, and the moment the door was opened, he rapidly pulled the door open and then kicked out fiercely.

Bang!

A muffled sound, and a small but ferocious and scary blood-colored figure was kicked flying by Wang Tao.

[-3]

[482/500]

Clink clatter

The zombie he kicked flew into a heap of objects, knocking them over.

Wang Tao didnt rush in to deal the killing blow but quickly scanned the surroundings instead.

One of the bedroom doors was closed; he wasnt sure if there was danger inside. But there was only one zombie in the living room!

The advantage was his!

Wang Tao clutched the homemade short spear tightly in both hands, pushed off with his back foot, and rapidly accelerated.

Roar~

The female zombie twisted her body to stand up, let out an angry roar from her mouth, and then flailed her arms as she staggered towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had intended to stab her neck with the short spear, but the zombie suddenly lunged forward, dodging his strike.

Unfazed in the face of danger, Wang Tao switched his grip on the spear and chopped towards the zombies left arm.

`

Thwack!

[-35]

[447/500 HP]

The cleaver might not have been very sharp, but Wang Taos astonishing strength inflicted a huge wound on the zombies left arm, from which black blood splattered.

Meanwhile, the zombies other right hand smacked down fiercely onto Wang Taos right arm.

Thud!

[-5]

[105/110 HP]

Despite the thick protection of the books, Wang Tao still felt his arm go numb, and he also lost 5 HP.

He was injured!

Wang Taos mind became even calmer.

At that moment, the zombie opened its mouth wide, trying to bite Wang Tao.

Wang Tao shoved his left arm, guarded by the arm shield, into the zombies mouth, blocking its lower jaw. His right hand then thrust the homemade short spear fiercely into the zombies stomach.

[-5]

[442/500 HP]

This minor damage was almost like a tickle to the zombie, but it successfully restricted the zombies movements. Then Wang Taos muscles bulged as he gathered strength in his right leg and delivered a sweeping kick to the zombies waist.

Thud!

The zombie slid along the ground for several meters before crashing into the wall. For a moment, it seemed dazed and unable to rise.

[-15]

[427/500 HP]

Whether it was the impact against the wall or something else, the kick had more power than Wang Tao had expected.

Without thinking too much, Wang Tao pressed the advantage, quickly rushing to the wall. He stomped on the zombies chest, pinning it down, then with both hands, he reversed the grip on the short spear and raised it high.

Thwack~

[-427]

[0/500 HP]

Headshot kill!

A partially transparent package stained with blood appeared instantly. After collecting the package, Wang Tao didnt look at it immediately but instead glanced at his own HP bar.

[110/115 HP]

Indeed, the upper limit of his HP had increased by 5 points, and his current HP had also recovered by 5 points!

Killing zombies could increase the upper limit of the HP bar and restore the increased HP!

After calming his excitement slightly, he then looked at the contents of the package.

[Acquired: Iron Block x1]

[Iron Block: Crafting Material]

Iron Block?

Looking at the small cubical iron block in his backpack, Wang Tao didnt have time to study it for the time being.

He searched the female zombies body and found a string of pearl necklaces, a wallet, and a crushed box of womens cigarettes, with no lighter.

After collecting the spoils of battle, Wang Tao didnt rush to scour the room but sat down to rest for a while; then he turned his gaze toward the closed-bedroom door.

If he didnt remember incorrectly, the female zombie had an HP of [482/500] when he entered, and the kick he had delivered upon entering only caused 3 points of damage. In other words, this female zombie was not at full health!

If she had turned into a zombie at home, she should have been at full health, unless

Wang Tao gripped the short spear tightly in both hands, then kicked fiercely at the bedroom door.

Thud!

The bedroom door was of decent quality and withstood Wang Taos kick. However, the lock was clearly subpar, as it was immediately wrecked.

And in the moment the door opened, Wang Tao saw a male zombie lying on the ground, missing half its body, unable to move.

Roar~

Thwack!
