Tao Yuan never dreamed that someone would really help.

When he left the room, he was very careful and did not make any sound. This was not too cautious. He had seen with his own eyes that the two escapees were surrounded by zombies with sharp hearing because they were too loud and chewed with only a pile of bones.

He searched for food everywhere and was very quick. It took less than half an hour from leaving the room to returning to the downstairs. However, the entrance to the unit upstairs was filled with zombies. In the closed room, the crying of his son was also heard.

Adults can endure hunger, but babies don't understand this.

Tao Yuan's eyes were about to break into tears. He howled with all his might, killing every zombie. He tried every means to pull the zombies away from the door, but there was almost no effect. The zombies reacted to smells and sounds very special. They could judge the strength and quantity of prey, and then make the right choice.

Tao Yuan felt very lucky. He was not alone. Through the thick riot helmet, he could not see Xinyan's face, but he could tell from his figure and movement that this was a woman. This made him no longer desperate and even more intense murderous intent for the zombies.

But he also forgot that he consumed too much energy and could not recover in a short period of time.

......

There are too many zombies gathered in front of the unit entrance. Roughly calculated that there are at least fifty.

The rough gunshots and the swearing with obvious female characteristics made the corpse group that could not break into the door began to turn around and attack the outside provocateurs. The outer corpse group had turned, and more than ten zombies swarmed out of the unit door. They followed closely, and the distance between Tao Yuan and Xinyan was getting closer and closer. These infected people obviously didn't know what tiredness was. The faces covered with corpse spots and rotten pus showed a fearful expression of greed and terror. They opened their mouths wide and stretched their arms forward straight, as if the delicious meat that could run by itself was close. They just needed to extend a little further forward to grab it and chew it freely.

Tao Yuan's face was pale. He felt that almost all the oxygen in his lungs was drained, and his breathing speed could not satisfy his body's load. His footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and heavier. He pressed himself tightly like a mountain. It was difficult to even take a step forward, let alone waving the steel pipe to fight.

Soon, the distance between the zombie who rushed in the front and him had been shortened to less than five meters.

That terrible rotten face is closer than ever, and you can even smell the thick fishy smell coming out of the gaps in the teeth. It was a woman with disheveled hair, her fingers that had been done with manicure were long, but they were as sharp as an awl and as thin as a knife.

Tao Yuan's lips were trembling violently, and his pupils were tighter than the tip of the needle. Suddenly, he was retreating, tripped by the gap on the ground, and did not care about rubbing the pain, and quickly got up tiltedly, moved his feet hard and painfully, gasped, raised the steel pipe again, aiming at the zombie's black eye sockets, which were rotten and black.

This attack exhausted his last power that was not much left.

Tao Yuan collapsed on the ground like mud, and even the simplest movement of half-kneeling and getting up was difficult.

The exhausted body is madly crushing the will to survive, crushing determination and perseverance, and turning the last thoughts remaining in the mind into despair that is about to be swallowed by death.

Directly ahead, the strong throat sounds unique to the zombies became clearer and clearer.

Tao Yuan raised his head numbly, his eyes suddenly widened, and deep in the dark pupils, the distorted and shriveled monster face was reflected.

“Bao———”

Suddenly, a line that could not be seen by the naked eye flew through the air. With the dull impact, the zombie head that was about to hit Tao Yuan's shoulder in the next second burst. The huge pressure lifted the top of the skull, rushed out more than ten meters away, and smashed heavily on the wall across the street.

Su Hao aimed very accurately.

He did not waste bullets, and he kept pulling the trigger calmly and calmly. The ugly head in the hole-sighted cover exploded one after another, and the rotten body that had lost control fell down crookedly, lying on the ground and twitched constantly.

Humans have evolved in the process of fighting life and death. Not only body and strength, but also wisdom and experience are no exception. The future world has a complete set of basic tutorials for dealing with various monsters. Four-year-old children must undergo Spartan fighting training. They may not be able to have stronger power than monsters in a short period of time, but they must be smarter than their opponents, know the opponent's weaknesses, start from unexpected angles and directions, and kill them with one blow.

Firearms are an important invention for humans to make up for their weaknesses in their own strength.

As long as there are enough bullets and have a geographical advantage, Su Hao can kill hundreds of zombies by himself.

They are actually very weak, and rank the lowest "1" or "-1" in the monster level evaluation table.

"Don't panic, keep a distance. These guys move very slowly. Go closer and shoot again, otherwise you won't be able to cause damage to them."

Su Hao had already shot a magazine. He pulled out the hunting knife from behind and pointed it at the neck of the oncoming zombie. While shouting and pointing out Xinyan, who was panicking, carefully observed the movements of the corpse group, remembering the pace, speed, and posture of each zombie, quickly judged the opponent's attack trajectory, and found an angle and direction that was beneficial to him. He accurately controlled the speed of physical energy consumption, and each time he swung the knife, it was just right. It was fatal, without wasting too much effort, and the steps of changing positions in time could quickly avoid danger.

In order to reduce the unstable factors during the transmission process, he chose the other end of the city as the landing point for the other two supply boxes. Su Hao didn't know when he would get ammunition replenishment, so he could only save money when conditions permit.

The huge group of corpses was rapidly shrinking, and the dead zombies covered the ground. Tao Yuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene. A strong fear suddenly appeared in his heart, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

It's really...too strong.

He had never seen anyone fight so many zombies alone. Of course, he didn't know that if Su Hao had not yet strengthened his body two days ago, he would not have been able to do this. He took genetic medicine to gain immunity, and the "Luther Condensation Layer" comprehensively transformed the nerve center and bones... Su Hao is not strong now, but has a reaction speed of more than twice that of an ordinary person.

"Bang————”

Xinyan, with a ferocious expression, pulled the trigger again and smashed the head of the last zombie.

......

On the third floor, the closed door slowly opened from the inside.

A few minutes later, Xinyan and Su Hao helped Tao Yuan, walked into the house and closed the door along the stairs covered with corpses.

The first thing that came to meet was a burly old man. He was very fat but not bloated. His snow-white hair was a little messy, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife, covered with traces of time. He covered Su Hao's hand tightly with an almost fanatical attitude, with his eyes full of gratitude. A faint warmth came from the other party's palms. Su Hao could even feel that the old man's pulse was very fast and his body was trembling slightly.

"Thank you! Thank you..."

The old man kept repeating these two simple words. He kept holding Su Hao and Xinyan's hands, as if only in this way could he express the strongest and most passionate emotions deep in his heart.

Two girls, about sixteen and seven years old, walked quickly to Tao Yuan and helped him sit down slowly on the sofa. Their appearance was not pretty and their figure was as thin as most girls. When Xinyan took off her riot helmet, the two girls looked shocked. They probably never thought that this person, who was carrying a large-caliber shotgun in his hand and covered in rotten flesh, was actually a woman?

On the chair on the side of the sofa, a pretty young woman was sitting. She was wearing a loose home clothes, tied her hair behind her head with a white handkerchief, holding a baby in her arms, holding a soft gummy pacifier in her mouth, and looking at the stranger in front of her with curious eyes.

Su Hao wiped the flesh and blood pulp on his hands, took out a large piece of chocolate from his backpack, and stuffed it into the baby swaddle with a smile.

Tao Yuan sat on the sofa, his body limping weakly. He gasped and his chest fluctuated violently with his breathing. Until now, he had survived death and realized that the cold sweat had already soaked his inner and outer clothes.

He raised his head, looking at the two strangers who gave his life with infinite gratitude.

"Hello, my name is Tao Yuan."

He moved his sore legs and feet, trying to stand up from the ground. His overly tired nerves could not tighten his muscles, so he could only lift his right arm weakly and stretch out his hand with weakness and gratitude.

"My name is Su Hao."

With the calm voice, the two men's hands were held together.

The following brief exchange made them quickly understand each other's situation.

This is a temporary piece of survivors.

The old man's name is Song Zhizhong and lives on the second floor.

The two girls who are in high school are twin sisters who live on the sixth floor. The house is the only legacy left to them by their parents who died prematurely.

The three families usually have a harmonious relationship - the elderly will always bring a copy to their neighbors when they go out to buy vegetables. The sisters Han Jing and Han Ying respect him very much. Tao Yuan is the only man in several families, and he takes the initiative to undertake all the heavy physical work. Of course, whenever he goes out to work, his breastfeeding wife can also receive meticulous care and care from his neighbors.

Su Hao listened to Tao Yuan's words with a smile. The young man was very friendly and talkative. From his words, he could analyze some information that was useful to him.

"We have been trapped here and can't connect with the outside. Without water, there is less and less food. I have to go out to get some food, otherwise I will only starve to death..."

Tao Yuan's voice became lighter and lighter, and his eyes gradually became dim.

Su Hao raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him. He sighed secretly, took off his bulletproof vest, exposed the long-sleeved T-shirt he was wearing inside, and said seriously: "I'm not a policeman."

Old Man Song Zhizhong's expression was no longer full of hope, but more disappointment.

The two sisters looked as if they were ashamed. They hugged each other tightly, and their bodies were trembling.

Li Xiaomei, Tao Yuan's wife, bit her lips hard, her face was pale, she looked weak, and she wanted to cry.

"There will be no rescue, no army or police. This is a chaotic world without order. We can only rely on ourselves and believe in ourselves."

For some reason, Su Hao suddenly felt a little reluctant to look at the pair of eyes that had lost hope. The world he was in was death and darkness. The current era is completely different———Friendship and care remain here. Although he was infinitely close to the chaotic times of tyranny and killing, he could still feel the last trace of warmth.

To completely eliminate the hope in their hearts... It is indeed cruel to do this. But Su Hao has no better choice. Instead of leaving these people with illusory illusions in their minds, it is better to let them see the reality clearly and become rational.

Tao Yuan lowered his head and buried his face deeply in his hands. His fingers penetrated deep into the hair, and even his joints turned white. After a long time, he slowly straightened up and said in a trembling voice: "We...we, what should we do?"

"I will make you stronger."

Su Hao looked at him with pity, his expression gradually became solemn: "But you need to do something for me."

Tao Yuan's eyes were full of confusion: "What?"

"Splitting all the remains of the zombies downstairs and removing the bones in their tail vertebrae."

As he said that, Su Hao took out the tube-type metal bottle from his pocket, pulled out the bottle plug, and shook out a silver bone he had collected before.

......

Two hours later, the escort truck full of personnel and supplies returned to the bank office.

The addition of new residents made the building full of vitality. Su Hao generously shared with them all resources besides guns - sufficient hot water supply, allowing women to immediately fall in love with a brand new residence; the electricity provided by solar light panels allows babies to eat milk powder and rice paste at any time; the solid and careful protective measures completely relieved the tension, allowing the brain that is always vigilant to begin to relax and get a rest.

The varieties of vegetables on the dining table are still monotonous. Apart from radish and potatoes, there are only various types of canned food. The newcomers are happy and satisfied.

Su Hao took the newly joined members around the building, explaining in detail the role of the passage and various emergency measures. His original intention was to add more eyes and ears to the residence. But in the eyes of Tao Yuan and others, this act of telling oneself all the secrets is a manifestation of trust and sincerity.

"We need a lot more. Food, medicine, gasoline... in a few months, the weather will get colder and fuel and clothes must start collecting now."

The old man's way of thinking about problems is much more comprehensive than that of young people. His voice was strong and powerful: "I can go out with you. I still have the strength to deal with those monsters."

Su Hao smiled faintly and handed him a police shotgun: "Women and children need to be taken care of. You have to protect them."

Song Zhizhong took the gun, looked at Tao Yuan standing next to him, no longer insisted, calmly, and nodded seriously.

......

Morning light spreads the whole world, staining the surface of all objects with a faint golden color.

Su Hao squinted his eyes unconsciously, his pupils quickly adapted to the too strong light, and he also saw clearly the zombie trapped in an iron cage, stretched out his hands straight, and opened his mouth and roaring.

This is a yard not far from the bank office. It is surrounded by high walls, and the zombies in each room have been cleared. Su Hao spent two days sealing the iron fences entering and leaving the courtyard, leaving only a small door about 80 cm wide. Using pulleys, a heavy metal baffle was hung high above the entrance. Once the tether was loosened, the steel plate weighing half a ton would fall down immediately, cutting off the final way out between the courtyard and the outside world.

Two thick wooden beams have been set up above the yard. The iron cage modified with anti-theft cages is also very strong, and it can completely trap two to three zombies.

Su Hao caught dozens of mice.

Fresh flesh and blood have irresistible temptations to zombies——These creatures controlled by the virus are not picky about food, and they never consider the specific source of the meat. A mouse's head that has just been cut off, or half a bloody mouse body, is the most urgent supplement for the stomach and intestines. With the help of a keen sense of smell, zombies can find it from a distance. The narrow small door limits the number of them entering the yard. In order to compete for the little meat that is not enough to plug the teeth, they must push each other and squeeze out desperately from dozens of companions. When the lucky zombie entered the yard and howled and pounced on the fresh rat meat on the ground, Su Hao, who was standing on the second floor, immediately loosened the rope, put down the metal baffle and iron cage, and captured it in the easiest way.

Tao Yuan swung his hunting knife and severely cut off the zombie's arm. Then he used a metal strut to cover the zombie's neck, pulled it to the corner of the iron cage, knocked off the sharp teeth with iron pliers, or simply cut off the entire chin. After confirming that the zombie could not pose a threat to him, he raised the iron cage again, pressed the zombie to the ground, injected heroin solution, calmly extracted rot hormones, and finally collected silver bones.

In the future world, Su Hao worked as a hunter for a while. He knew very well how to deal with these monsters. They were not smart, except that they looked hideous and terrifying and easily infected. In fact, they were no different from ferocious beasts.

With this yard used as a trap, killing zombies has become safe and simple. Not to mention Tao Yuan, even Xinyan or the old man Song Zhizhong is fully qualified. In a few days, the amount of rotten hormone stored in the vault has reached hundreds of milliliters, and Su Hao took more than 300 milligrams of silver bones.

There are also hierarchical restrictions for bone strengthening.

Under normal circumstances, five to ten milligrams can make the user reach the first stage of hardness. This number will change with the user's physique and weight. The second stage requires more silver bones, but it will not exceed the limit of fifty milligrams.
