Scream Your Throat Raw

Is That It?

Three hammer strikes for an instant kill?

To be honest, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

As his own strength improved, his experience grew richer, and his weapons became stronger... It was not that the enemy was too weak, but that he was too strong!

He had no time to inspect the spoils. He quickly looked around, but found no other zombies.

"Where's the other zombie?"

Wang Tao frowned. He had clearly heard that there were two zombies in this room! Zombies did not attack each other, at least not from what Wang Tao had seen so far.

So unless that zombie had jumped out the window, it had to still be in the apartment! Wang Tao did not rush to look for it. Though his three hammer swings had seemed easy, each one had used all his strength and cost him some energy. Since there was no immediate danger, he could catch his breath.

A few seconds later, Wang Tao cautiously headed toward the bathroom.

This apartment had the same layout as Wang Tao's home: two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom. Both bedroom doors were open, but the bathroom door was shut.

Wang Tao felt that there might be something inside the bathroom.

He carefully approached the bathroom door, then suddenly kicked it hard.

Bang! "Hm? Nothing?"

Seeing the empty room inside, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

After confirming that there was nothing in the bathroom, Wang Tao checked the kitchen as well. There was nothing there either.

Could it be in one of the two bedrooms?

Wang Tao glanced through both bedroom doorways. There were no zombies inside either.

"How strange..."

He checked the doors and windows again. They were all tightly shut, and there was no sign that anything had gone out. There were no bloodstains or signs of a fight in the apartment either...

"Did I hear wrong earlier?"

Wang Tao doubted himself a little, but quickly cast that doubt aside. He trusted himself. Two zombies meant two zombies; there was a high chance he had not heard wrong! "Let's see where you're hiding..."

Wang Tao took a deep breath, then entered the second bedroom.

Other than a bed, the room contained only a simple fabric wardrobe. Its zipper was open, so it obviously could not be hiding a zombie.

He tightened his grip on his weapon and lay flat on the floor.

There was nothing under the bed either.

After confirming that the second bedroom was clear, Wang Tao went to the Master Bedroom. There was nothing beneath that bed either.

Then Wang Tao stood up and turned his gaze toward the wardrobe in the Master Bedroom.

The Master Bedroom was much larger than the second bedroom. Against the wall stood a custom-built row of wardrobes with more than a dozen cabinet doors.

This was the only large wardrobe in the entire apartment that he had not searched. Unless that zombie had really opened a window, jumped out, and closed it behind her, or had been chopped to pieces and crawled down the drain, or had been eaten by the other zombie... Wang Tao thought she was most likely in one of these cabinets.

"But this wardrobe isn't that big. There are partitions in the middle, too. Would a zombie really crawl inside? And even close the cabinet door behind her? That smart?"

Wang Tao was puzzled. He gripped his weapon tightly in his right hand and casually pulled open the first cabinet door with his left.

"Roar—"

"Fuck!"

The instant Wang Tao opened the first wardrobe door, a petite zombie curled up inside suddenly lunged at him.

Wang Tao jumped in fright. He instinctively swung his hammer, but missed.

A powerful impact from the zombie knocked him straight onto the floor, and his weapon flew from his hand.

The zombie braced Wang Tao's limbs with her own, pinning him spread-eagled on the floor and leaving him unable to turn over. Then she opened her mouth, releasing a rotten stench, and her saliva-dripping teeth lunged toward Wang Tao's neck.

"Get off!"

Just as he was about to have an intimate encounter with this Female Zombie, the veins on Wang Tao's forehead bulged. The biceps in both his arms rapidly swelled, and he forcibly endured the zombie's strength as he threw a fierce right punch.

"Your breath stinks!"

Bang! His fist smashed viciously into the zombie's face, knocking her head to the side.

The zombie seemed dazed by the blow, and the force with which she pinned Wang Tao weakened considerably.

Wang Tao seized the chance to raise his right foot and brace it against the zombie's chest. Then he exerted force with both his hands and feet, violently throwing her toward the door.

Bang! Wang Tao hurled the zombie straight into the doorframe.

The blow did not deal much damage to the zombie, but it finally allowed Wang Tao to break free from her embrace.

Without even bothering to pick up his weapon, Wang Tao took one stride to the bedroom doorway. He charged his right leg, then kicked the zombie, who was still sprawled on the floor and had yet to get up.

Bang—

That kick sent the zombie skimming along the floor, flying out of the room and into the living room, where she smashed two wooden dining chairs.

Wang Tao pressed the attack. He suddenly leaped up near the zombie, his hair nearly brushing the ceiling, then stomped down on her viciously.

Crack!

His two hiking boots landed on the zombie's knees, and a crisp sound of breaking bone rang out.

Both of the zombie's knees were crushed! Just as she had been about to get up, she collapsed again.

Wang Tao had originally wanted to stomp on her head, but he did not know whether he could crush a zombie's skull underfoot. If her head was too hard and made him fall, that would be troublesome.

So Wang Tao changed his mind at the last moment and stomped directly on her legs.

The results proved that it worked. The zombie's Health Bar dropped by a large chunk! More importantly, she seemed unable to get up! Zombies felt no pain. Broken arms and legs might be fatal injuries for ordinary people, but for zombies, they were not fatal at all.

But Wang Tao had not expected this to kill her. He only wanted her broken legs to hinder her movement! Now, it seemed to have worked! Perhaps because zombies retained some human instincts, such as walking on two legs, she could no longer get up after her kneecaps were shattered!

This result excited Wang Tao, because it meant that severing a zombie's limbs first might also be a viable method in the future.

After all, a zombie's limbs were not as hard as its head. As for their necks, while they were a weak point, ordinary people might not be able to hit them.

So if survivors were smart enough, they should be able to limit a zombie's movements by cutting off its legs, then finish it off completely!

Thoughts raced through Wang Tao's mind, but his movements did not stop.

The zombie was sprawled on the ground and unable to get up, making her little more than a live target. Wang Tao showed no mercy, stomping down twice and crushing her arms until they warped out of shape.

Looking at the zombie with all four limbs broken, yet still baring her teeth at him, Wang Tao's face beneath the mask curled into a cruel smile.

She had given him quite a scare just now.

He had to get revenge! And while he had this rare opportunity, he wanted to test his own damage potential.

"Roar—"

This Female Zombie seemed to know her fate, and she immediately let out an enraged roar.

Wang Tao clenched his fist and said viciously, "Keep screaming. Scream your throat raw, and it still won't save you!"
