"Be careful!"
Ding Yuqin helped Wang Tao straighten his clothes, then hung the steel-pipe Claw Hammer and another sharpened short steel pipe from either side of his waist.
Ding Yuqin had handmade these two weapon holsters for Wang Tao over the past two days.
"Mm."
Wang Tao nodded and left the apartment with Ding Yuqin.
Ding Yuqin returned to her room. Watching Wang Tao's retreating figure head downstairs, she prayed that he would return safely.
Wang Tao made his way unhurriedly to the door of Room 101. After fiddling with the lock for a moment, he heard a click, and it opened.
He had previously learned from the Balding Uncle that Room 101 housed an elderly couple, while Room 102 was home to a family of three.
They might not all be home, but to be safe, it was better to deal with the zombies in Room 101 first.
After opening the door, Wang Tao pulled it open just a crack and took a quick look inside.
At a glance, he spotted two short but bloated figures sitting side by side on the living room sofa, their heads lowered so their faces could not be seen.
Wang Tao took a deep breath, then strode inside.
"Hrrgh~ Hrrgh~"
Hearing the noise, the two elderly people on the sofa slowly raised their heads, revealing milky-white eyes.
"Roar!"
Perhaps they had caught the scent of flesh and blood. The two old zombies seemed to activate, rising one after the other and limping toward Wang Tao.
Did their physical condition while alive affect the strength of zombies after infection and mutation? Wang Tao was not entirely sure.
But it at least affected their speed. Both old zombies were rather slow, and even their steps were unsteady, as though they might fall over at any moment.
Of course, Wang Tao did not underestimate them.
Even a lion used its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
Without slowing down, Wang Tao strode up to the Old Woman Zombie, raised his long hammer with both hands, and swung it down viciously.
Bang! The hammer struck the Old Woman Zombie squarely in her right temple.
-158 342/500
The Old Woman Zombie's neck twisted crookedly, and her body swayed.
Wang Tao pressed his advantage, swinging again at the Old Woman Zombie's right eye socket.
Bang! Her eyeball was smashed to pieces!
-164 178/500
Two blows had taken away two-thirds of her Health Bar!
But by then, the Old Man Zombie beside her had already lunged over. If Wang Tao continued attacking the Old Woman Zombie, he would be struck by the Old Man Zombie.
Without a second thought, Wang Tao turned and swung at the old man.
Bang! The hammer smashed into the Old Man Zombie's jaw, blasting away nearly half of it. A blackened tongue writhed inside the hole.
The Old Man Zombie staggered, lost his footing, and fell straight onto the floor.
-65 435/500
At that moment, the Old Woman Zombie recovered from her daze. With a howl, she stretched out both arms and grabbed for Wang Tao.
Wang Tao did not even look at her as he raised his leg and kicked.
Before the Old Woman Zombie could grab him, his foot slammed hard into her chest.
Bang—
The Old Woman Zombie was kicked flying and crashed into the sofa.
-32 146/500
Wang Tao drew the sharpened steel pipe from the left side of his waist. The muscles in his arm bulged as he hurled it with all his might from over two meters away.
Squelch—
The steel pipe pierced straight through the Old Woman Zombie's forehead, pinning her to the sofa.
-146 0/500
Seeing her Health Bar hit zero, Wang Tao turned to look at the Old Man Zombie, who had just climbed back to his feet.
Now it was his turn! Strictly speaking, this was Wang Tao's first time fighting two zombies at once.
A one-versus-two battle was far more difficult than a one-versus-one.
This was not a game. Although he had over a hundred Health Bar points, he did not dare let a zombie scratch him even once.
But as long as he could take out one zombie first, dealing with the other would become much easier.
Wang Tao carried the Claw Hammer toward the Old Man Zombie.
"Hrrgh, hrrgh..."
The Old Man Zombie twisted as he climbed up from the floor, extending his right hand toward Wang Tao.
Seeing those black, sharp nails, Wang Tao swiftly dodged left with his upper body, avoiding the swipe while bringing his hammer down on the old man's head.
Bang! -146
The hammer struck the Old Man Zombie's head hard, knocking him back two steps.
Wang Tao closed in and swung again.
Bang! -153
Wang Tao clearly heard the sound of bone cracking. The Old Man Zombie fell to the floor again!
Before the Old Man Zombie could get back up, Wang Tao braced his right leg and kicked viciously at his head.
Bang! -71
The Old Man Zombie's body spun once across the floor before slamming hard into the wall.
-33
When his head struck the wall, a second instance of damage appeared above the zombie's head.
Wang Tao caught his breath slightly, grinning beneath his mask. A one-on-one fight really was much easier! When the Old Man Zombie struggled to get up again, Wang Tao smashed his hammer brutally into his temple.
Squelch—
The Claw Hammer shattered the skull and embedded itself in the Old Man Zombie's head.
-32 0/500
The zombie's Health Bar had been cleared.
