Cleaning

Chapter 21: Clearing

Zhao Yuan then thought of a way—he called Wang Tao and had Ding Yuqin listen to see if there was any noise in Wang Tao's room.

Zombies are very sensitive to sound. If there were zombies in Wang Tao's room, they would definitely make a lot of noise! Even if Wang Tao's phone was on vibrate, the zombies' hearing wouldn't miss it at such close range.

At that time, the zombie in Room 602 hadn't left yet, and Ding Yuqin didn't know there was a zombie in the hallway. But she didn't dare to go out either, only secretly opened the door a crack to listen, and heard that there was indeed no movement in Wang Tao's home.

This indirectly proved Zhao Yuan's guess—Wang Tao really didn't want to help her.

Ding Yuqin's impression of Wang Tao wasn't bad before, but it wasn't good either. They didn't have much interaction, at most just a polite greeting when they met.

But under this "reality" and Zhao Yuan's embellishment, her perception of Wang Tao became very bad...

So, she then gave up the idea of asking Wang Tao for help.

However, it's hard to say whether Ding Yuqin was lucky, or whether Zhao Yuan saved Ding Yuqin's life. If Ding Yuqin had really come to Wang Tao at that time, and Wang Tao was unconscious and unable to open the door, then Ding Yuqin would likely have attracted the zombies upstairs. With her small arms and legs, her chances would have been grim...

After a few more days, she was so hungry that she could hardly bear it, and happened to see Wang Tao go out and kill zombies... She decided to try and see if she could borrow some food from Wang Tao.

Facts proved that Wang Tao wasn't as bad as her husband had said...

After waiting for a while, the water was almost stored, and Ding Yuqin came out of the bathroom.

"Wang Tao, my house is full of water. By the way, see if there's anything here you can use. If it's useful to you, just take it..."

Help is mutual, and you can't always expect others to give.

Ding Yuqin knew that she couldn't help Wang Tao much, so she had to let Wang Tao see if there was anything in her house that Wang Tao could use.

Wang Tao wasn't polite. Zhao Yuan had a lot of gadgets. If he looked carefully, he might find something useful.

"Huh?"

After searching, he really found a good thing.

"Binoculars!"

These were binoculars, marked 10*50, meaning the binoculars had a 50mm aperture and a magnification of 10x.

Ten times binoculars, good stuff! Might not be useful for the time being, but it could be very useful in the future.

"I didn't notice his binoculars were here. If you find them useful, take them. I can't use them anyway..."

Ding Yuqin looked at Wang Tao holding the binoculars with obvious delight, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

She wasn't afraid of Wang Tao taking her things, she was just afraid that Wang Tao wouldn't like anything! "Okay, then I won't be polite."

Wang Tao accepted them directly.

After that, they didn't find anything else useful, and the two returned to Wang Tao's home. Ding Yuqin started cooking, while Wang Tao lifted the curtain and used the newly acquired binoculars to observe outside the window.

This was an old residential area, with a maximum of six floors. But fortunately, there weren't many tall buildings around, so the binoculars could see far.

After looking around, Wang Tao's face was very serious.

He suddenly realized that his Happiness District seemed to be quite lucky?

Other residential areas either had a group of zombies surrounding the building, with zombies going in and out, and even the rooftops were full of zombies; or there had been small-scale explosions, presenting a scene of ruins...

However, Wang Tao also discovered some characteristics, that the places that looked more serious were places with more people. Especially a square in the distance, the dark mass of heads was enough to make one's scalp tingle...

The reason why the situation in their Happiness District wasn't as serious as in other districts might be because there were fewer people, and many people had gone out to work at the time.

In the apocalypse, luck is also very important.

These scenes outside also made Wang Tao feel more urgency in his heart.

Judging from the zombies killed in Room 201 before, zombies can also become stronger! That female zombie who ate people had her health bar increased by 10 points! Plus, he can become stronger through exercise, so it's not impossible that zombies also have other ways to become stronger...

"I have to clean up the zombies in this building as soon as possible!"

Wang Tao planned to go to 601 in the afternoon to clean up those two zombies.

Tomorrow, he would clean up the zombies in 101 and 102 as well, and then the entire building would be completely safe. He could also find a way to go to the small restaurant outside the residential area to find diesel! Today's lunch wasn't as rich as yesterday's, but the quantity was still large.

After eating, they rested for a while. While Ding Yuqin was washing the dishes and cleaning up the house, Wang Tao asked her to come and help him put on his equipment.

"Wang Tao, what are you..."

"I'm going upstairs. Lock the door after you go back."

"You're going to 601?"

A trace of worry appeared on Ding Yuqin's face. There were two zombies in 601!

"Yes, I'm going to clean up 601. Don't come out."

Wang Tao felt that he had a high probability of solving the two zombies upstairs, but he didn't rule out the possibility of zombies running out. After all, there are always accidents.

"I understand! You, you have to be careful!"

Ding Yuqin was really worried about Wang Tao, after all, Wang Tao was the only one she could rely on now.

"I will."

Wang Tao nodded.

With Ding Yuqin's help, the equipment was quickly put on.

He took his homemade steel pipe-handled claw hammer and went out with Ding Yuqin.

Ding Yuqin returned to her room. After watching her lock the door, Wang Tao strode to Room 601.

Room 601 was occupied by a middle-aged couple, who must have mutated. Wang Tao had also heard two roars from inside when he went upstairs before.

Although there were two zombies inside, Wang Tao was not what he used to be. The improvement in strength was secondary, the main thing was experience. After he had directly killed several zombies, he had gained experience.

Wang Tao fiddled with the lock-picking tools for a while, and with a click, he opened the security door. Then he took a deep breath, raised the claw hammer slightly with his right hand, and pulled it open suddenly with his left hand.

Whoosh—

The security door opened.

At the door of the room, there was a twisted figure standing.

Wang Tao didn't expect a zombie to be at the door. The zombie probably didn't expect someone to suddenly come in.

Both were stunned for a moment.

But Wang Tao reacted faster.

He held the long-handled claw hammer tightly in one hand, and exerted force with his arms, waist, and thighs at the same time, and swung it fiercely at the zombie's head! Bang! There was a crisp sound.

The zombie's head was knocked back, and it took two steps back, and a number [-136] popped up above its head.

[364/500]

Wang Tao took advantage of the victory and stepped forward, swinging the long hammer again.

Bang! [-127]

[237/500]

This hammer directly knocked its face crooked, and it took another step back.

Then Wang Tao held the hammer with both hands, raised them high, and smashed the "horns" of the claw hammer towards the zombie's crown.

Puchi!

Black Blood splattered.

Wang Tao felt as if he had smashed a jar full of soft mud.

[-237]

[0/500]

Three hammers to kill!
