549690339 , “Be careful!”, Ding Yuqin straightened Wang Tao’s clothes, then hugged the steel pipe hammer and another polished short steel pipe separately hanging on the left and right sides of Wang Tao’s waist., These two weapon sheaths had been handcrafted by Ding Yuqin for Wang Tao over the past two days., “Mhm.”, Wang Tao nodded, stepping out the door together with Ding Yuqin., Ding Yuqin returned to her own room, watching Wang Tao descend the stairs and praying for his safe return., Wang Tao approached the door of apartment 101 at a steady pace, fiddled with the lock for a moment, and with a “click,” the lock opened., He had learned from the bald uncle that two elderly men and ladies lived in room 101, and a family of three resided in 102., Although not all of them might be at home, to be safe, it was more appropriate to start with the zombies in 101., After opening the door, Wang Tao cracked it slightly and took a quick look inside., On the living room sofa, he immediately noticed two squat but swollen figures sitting side by side, their heads bowed, faces unclear., Wang Tao took a deep breath, then strode into the room., “Heh~ Heh~”, Stirred by the noise, the two elders slowly lifted their heads, revealing a pair of pale eyes., “Roar!”, Perhaps drawn by the smell of flesh and blood, the two elderly zombies, as if activated, staggered to their feet and lurched towards Wang Tao, one after the other., It seemed that the zombies’ strength after infection and mutation might be affected by their physical condition when alive? Wang Tao wasn’t sure., But at least it affected their speed. These two elderly zombies were quite slow, their walk unsteady, as if they were about to collapse at any moment., Of course, Wang Tao did not underestimate them., Even when hunting a rabbit, a lion gives its all., Wang Tao kept his pace, approached in front of the elderly lady zombie, and swung the horned hammer with both hands., Bang!, The hammer landed solidly on the right temple of the old lady zombie., -158, 342

/500, Just as the old lady zombie recovered from dizziness, she shrieked and stretched her arms towards Wang Tao., Without even looking, he lashed out with a kick., Before she could grab him, his foot struck hard against the old lady zombie’s chest., Thump—, The old lady zombie was kicked back, slamming into the sofa., -32, 146

/500, Wang Tao quickly drew the sharpened steel pipe from the sheath on his left waist. His arm muscles bulged as he hurled the pipe from over two meters away., Thrust—, The steel pipe pierced directly through the forehead of the old lady zombie, pinning her against the sofa., -146, 0

/500, Seeing the opponent’s HP drop to zero, Wang Tao turned to face the old man zombie getting up from the floor., Now it’s your turn!, Strictly speaking, this was the first time Wang Tao was facing two zombies at once., Combat like this, 1v2, was much tougher than 1v1., After all, this wasn’t a game; although he had more than a hundred HP, he dared not let the zombies touch him., However, once he had dealt with one of the zombies, battling the other became much simpler., Wang Tao walked towards the old man zombie, wielding the horned hammer., “Heh heh…”, The old man zombie twisted as he struggled to get up from the ground, stretching out his right hand towards Wang Tao., Seeing the dark, sharp nails, Wang Tao quickly dodged to the left, avoiding the grasp while smashing his hammer towards the zombie’s head., Thump!, -146, The hammer struck hard on the old man zombie’s head, making him retreat two steps., Wang Tao closed in and swung the hammer once more., Thump!, -153, Wang Tao distinctly heard the sound of bones cracking. The old man zombie fell again!, Before the old man zombie could rise, Wang Tao mustered strength in his right leg and fiercely kicked the zombie’s head., Thump!, -71, The old man zombie’s body spun on the floor and then crashed against the wall., -33, A secondary injury appeared on the zombie’s head from the impact with the wall., Catching his breath for a moment, Wang Tao’s mouth curled up under the mask. 1v1 was indeed much easier!, As the old man zombie struggled to rise once more, Wang Tao aimed at his temple and hammered down fiercely., Squish—, The horned hammer smashed through the skull, embedding into the head of the old man zombie., -32, 0

/500, The zombie’s HP dropped to zero.
