nFollowing the narrow corridor, Enoch finally came to the second floor of the villa.

n

n

nDust covered the corridor, leaving small footprints in the shape of plum blossoms after Enoch walked past.

n

n

nIt didn’t look like it was inhabited.

n

n

nAfter going up to the second floor, Enoch already had doubts about the existence of survivors.

n

n

nThe dust clearly told him that no one had moved into this villa for a long time.

n

n

nAt the very least, no creatures had stepped foot in this corridor for a long time.

n

n

nWhat was even more strange was that,

n

n

nThe sound on the second floor had never been heard again after the previous one.

n

n

nEnoch began to suspect that he was too vigilant in the Black Fog and had hallucinated.

n

n

nHowever,

n

n

nJust as Enoch thought that there were no living things on the second floor, a hoarse and tender voice called out.

n

n

n“Father?”

n

n

nThe small voice was especially obvious in this quiet environment!

n

n

nSomeone!

n

n

nIt was a child!

n

n

nThis time, Enoch was sure that he had not heard wrongly!

n

n

nHe quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

n

n

nAt the end of the corridor on the second floor!

n

n

nThe sound came from the tightly shut door!

n

n

nEnoch instantly rushed to the door.

n

n

nAfter approaching the door, Enoch was afraid of Love the children of the survivors.

n

n

nHe asked softly, “Are you still there? I’m a friend of your father.”

n

n

nEnoch used a white lie to try to calm the child’s emotions.

n

n

nHowever, after Enoch spoke, there was no answer in the room.

n

n

nInstead, the sound of sharp objects rubbing against the floor could be heard again.

n

n

nEnoch no longer hesitated. He twisted the door handle. After realizing that it was locked, he picked up the electric arc star and broke the door lock.

n

n

nHe pushed the door open.

n

n

nEnoch looked inside the room, but he froze on the spot.

n

n

nA little girl with waist-length hair was tied to a wooden chair in the room.

n

n

nThe wooden chair had fallen to the side. It should have been caused by a struggle.

n

n

nAs if she had not eaten for a long time, the little girl was skinny. Her slender body seemed to be easily broken if touched.

n

n

n“Dad?”

n

n

nThe same soft voice sounded again.

n

n

nHowever, Enoch did not move.

n

n

nInstead, he followed his gaze and saw the system notification.

n

n

nPrimary zombie

n

n

nCombat level: E-

n

n

nDescription: A Monster from the Black Fog. It’s not a threat.

n

n

nThe little girl looked like she was only seven or eight years old, but she had already turned into a zombie.

n

n

nThe calls were made out of instinct, but they were meaningless.

n

n

nEnoch was dazed for a moment before he walked to the girl step by step. The electric arc star struck the back of her neck, ending her pain.

n

n

nAt this time, Enoch noticed the surrounding environment.

n

n

nThis should be the girl’s room. The room was mostly filled with family photos of three people. The man in the picture seemed to have the same eyebrows as the body downstairs.

n

n

nEnoch’s guess was right. It was the shop owner.

n

n

nHe just didn’t know where the shop owner’s wife was.

n

n

nIn the photo, the family of three had smiles on their faces. It seemed that their lives were not bad. The woman and the little girl had long red hair that was not common.

n

n

nEnoch looked at the girl’s body again.

n

n

nThere was an obvious bite mark on her slender left wrist.

n

n

nThe edge of the wound had clear blood lines climbing toward the girl’s head.

n

n

nAt this point, Enoch could roughly tell what had happened to the girl.

n

n

nThe girl must have been infected with the zombie virus when she was on the run. Her father brought her home and looked after her. There was no trace of blood on her clothes, and her hair was neatly combed.

n

n

nIt could be seen that her father took good care of her even after she became a zombie.

n

n

nUntil her father died.

n

n

nEnoch was not a saint, but for some reason, he had some inexplicable emotions in his heart at this time.

n

n

n“Squeak — squeak! (Take the two corpses out.)”

n

n

nEnoch stood where he was and gave the order to the two berserk rats behind him.

n

n

nNot long after, the girl’s body and the shop owner’s body were lying in the open space outside the house.

n

n

nEnoch did not choose to bury the father and daughter.

n

n

nIn this strange Black Fog, the body might be desecrated by unknown forces.

n

n

nEnoch did not want this.

n

n

nThinking of this.

n

n

nEnoch let one of the berserk rats come to the side of the bodies of the father and the daughter.

n

n

n“Squeak!”

n

n

nAs Enoch ordered, dazzling lightning appeared in this open space.

n

n

nThe electric arc Flashed, and under the extreme heat, the bodies of the father and the daughter slowly dissipated.

n

n

nI just happened to take the goods from the shop, so I’ll take it as the fee for the reunion of the two of you.

n

n

nEnoch convinced himself, otherwise, wouldn’t he look like a busybody?

n

n

nBut to Enoch’s surprise,

n

n

nAs the father and daughter’s bodies dissipated into the air, a small ball of gentle white light was left on the ground.

n

n

nGoodwill

n

n

nType: necklace

n

n

nRarity: S

n

n

nDescription: thanks from the young girl. After wearing it, your luck value will increase by one level.

n

n

nEnoch walked up to check, and the system prompt immediately appeared in his eyes.

n

n

nThanks?

n

n

nCould it be… that there really was such a thing as a soul?

n

n

nEnoch did not think too much and picked up Goodwill from the ground.

n

n

nAlthough he took it out from the high temperature, the simple silver necklace didn’t seem to be affected by the high temperature.

n

n

nIt was actually cold to the Touch!

n

n

nHis luck value rose by one level?

n

n

nTo be honest, Enoch still didn’t know what the use of the luck value attribute was.

n

n

nThe sacred tree space didn’t seem to let him open any treasure chests!

n

n

nIn these three days, Enoch’s only ability that hadn’t changed at all seemed to be his luck value.

n

n

nThinking of this, Enoch put the necklace around his neck.

n

n

nAnd in the attribute panel, Enoch’s luck value finally changed from E- to D-.

n

n

nBut…

n

n

nWas the change in luck value useful?

n

n

nEnoch didn’t even feel the slightest change!

n

n

nBut Enoch didn’t have too much of a dilemma.

n

n

nSince the attributes could be notarized by the Divine Tree Space, then they were definitely useful.

n

n

nAs time went by, they would naturally know their uses.

n

n

nAfter expiating the father and daughter, Enoch took the opportunity to search the villa. In the end, he found some stored food and water sources in the attic.

n

n

nMost of them were canned food and compressed biscuits that were easy to preserve.

n

n

nEnoch did not look carefully and threw them into the temporary warehouse.

n

n

nAfter completing the exploration, the progress bar for the shop area was stuck at 97%?

n

n

nThis made Enoch’s mild obsessive-compulsive disorder flare up!

n

n

nWhere was it that he hadn’t explored yet!

n

n

nWith only 3% to completion, wasn’t that torture!

n

n

nBut Enoch could already confirm that the villa had been searched.

n

n

nEven the villa’s basement wasn’t spared.

n

n

nBasement?

n

n

nCould there be a basement in the shop?

n

n

nAn idea appeared in Enoch’s mind.

n

n

nWith this in mind, Enoch led the berserk rats back to the store.

n

n

nOn one hand, he was checking for changes in the giant black cocoon.

n

n

nOn the other hand, he was checking to see if he could fully explore the map of the store area.
