"Little brother, be careful! You have a beloved wife waiting for you at home, so you can't afford to have anything happen!"

Balding Uncle cheered Wang Tao on.

It has to be said that although Balding Uncle's physical fitness wasn't great and he was a bit timid, he was still kind-hearted.

Wang Tao didn't explain too much.

"Don't worry, Uncle, nothing will happen to me. But you, don't go out, just stay in the building, it's too dangerous outside!"

"Haha, don't worry about that, I'm a coward, I won't go out. I want to live well and reunite with my wife and children!"

Balding Uncle took out the family photo from his pocket, his eyes full of longing.

"Then I can rest assured!"

Balding Uncle didn't waste Wang Tao's time, said a few words, and went back.

Wang Tao came downstairs, and through the security unit door window, he could see several Zombies wandering outside.

He waited quietly for a while, and after seeing these Zombies slowly move away from the unit door, Wang Tao took a deep breath and then suddenly opened the security door.

Click! The sound of the security door opening instantly attracted the attention of several Zombies. Wang Tao didn't even look at them. He closed the door and started sprinting towards the Residential Area Wall in the distance! "Heh heh..."

"Roar--"

Some Zombies around who discovered him immediately twisted their bodies and stumbled towards Wang Tao.

Although Wang Tao was running, he didn't forget to observe the surrounding Zombies. He had to determine if there were any special Zombies that could conceal themselves, sprint, or had other abilities.

But fortunately, it seemed that these Zombies weren't too fast. As long as he wasn't surrounded, his life wouldn't be in danger.

A dozen seconds later, Wang Tao sprinted to the Wall without any surprises or dangers, then stepped on the bare Wall, and then suddenly jumped, grabbing the Wall with both hands.

"Hey!"

Wang Tao's arm muscles bulged, he let out a soft shout, and directly used the powerful strength of his upper limbs to bring his entire lower body up.

At this time, the two nearby Zombies were late, but Wang Tao was already standing on the Wall, and they couldn't reach him with their waving arms.

Wang Tao suddenly felt that if he used the one-meter-long Steel Pipe on his back to knock the heads of these Zombies under his feet at this time, wouldn't he be able to slowly exhaust them all to death? Anyway, the Zombies couldn't reach him...

"Maybe it's a good idea, but now is not a good time, let them go for now!"

Wang Tao didn't forget his purpose. Finding diesel was the priority, and killing Zombies was secondary for the time being.

He looked at the other side of the Wall. The situation on this street was the same as he saw from the roof. There weren't many Zombies. There were a few Zombies in the distance, but they hadn't found him yet.

"Good luck!"

Wang Tao jumped off the Wall lightly.

Cracked ground, Black Blood everywhere, scattered newspapers, Government announcements, cars burned to skeletons, mottled walls covered with moss...

Looking at this scene of doomsday ruins on the street, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Wang Tao took a deep breath, threw these complicated emotions behind him, and then tiptoed to the "Big Mouth Eats Meat" small restaurant across the street.

The glass door of the small restaurant was half open, and you could see a mess inside. Many tables and chairs were damaged, and there were dried blood stains on the ground and walls.

Wang Tao wasn't surprised by this situation. He held the one-meter-long Steel Pipe Mace tightly in his hand and slowly walked in.

This time, he brought out all three Steel Pipes, two 50cm ones and one 1-meter one.

All three weapons had been modified by Wang Tao.

One of the two 50cm Steel Pipes was modified into a long-handled Claw Hammer, which was currently his most comfortable weapon to use.

The other one had half a sharpened steel bar inserted inside, making it into a Short Spear.

As for the 1-meter-long Steel Pipe, many holes were drilled in the Steel Pipe, and long nails were inserted into the holes, turning it into a Mace.

In relatively open places, it was more appropriate to use this one-meter-long Steel Pipe Mace.

After entering the shop, he carefully avoided the glass shards on the ground, and then simply walked around the hall. He mainly wanted to see if there were any Zombies hiding behind the cashier counter.

He had been ambushed by old cunning Zombies before, so if he had time, he would carefully check.

Luckily, there was nothing under the counter.

Wang Tao grabbed a handful of the change from the drawer and stuffed it into his pocket.

This trip wasn't a waste after all.

Wang Tao looked at the road behind him. Seeing no Zombies coming, he gripped the Steel Pipe Mace and walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was also a mess, completely looted, but there were no bloodstains.

This small restaurant had two doors: the main entrance he had just come through and a small side door. Next to the side door was a bedroom for resting, and outside was an alley.

The side door was open, and a brand-new, white domestic Pickup Truck with barely removed protective film was parked outside. It was Boss Li's truck.

The truck definitely had gas in it; Wang Tao had seen Boss Li fill it up that day.

But here was the problem: since Boss Li's truck was here, that meant he hadn't left...

Wang Tao glanced at the closed bedroom door.

Because their shop also served breakfast, Boss Li and his Beloved Wife usually slept in the shop for convenience in the morning.

Wang Tao guessed that either they had been bitten by outside Zombies and infected, or they were in this bedroom, having been infected on the first day.

In any case, they must have been infected.

Because their gassed-up truck was here. If they hadn't been infected, they would most likely have gotten in the truck and fled to the countryside!

The bedroom door was locked. Wang Tao prepared to pick the lock.

He had come prepared this time. He had brought weapons, some lock-picking tools, food, a Telescope, a flashlight, even a small radio, a cell phone, a walkie-talkie, and more.

After all, the mission this time was to scavenge for supplies. He couldn't do it without the right tools. Besides, he was tall and strong, so carrying these things wasn't a problem.

"Click."

After fiddling with the lock for a while, the door lock was successfully opened.

Luckily, it wasn't a bolt lock; otherwise, even the best lock-picking skills would be useless.

Wang Tao gently pushed open the door and immediately saw a fat figure lying on the bed with its back to him, covered with a blanket.

Seeing the red Health Bar above its head, Wang Tao didn't hesitate. He rushed in and slammed the Steel Pipe Mace hard on its head.

Bang! Black Blood splattered.

[-156] [394/550]

"Ho ho..."

The Zombie let out a horrible roar, trying to turn over. Wang Tao kicked it in the waist through the blanket, making it flip back.

Then Wang Tao pulled out the Steel Pipe Mace and struck three more times.

Puchi!

[-142] [-143] [-109] [0/550] [Obtained: Stealth Potion (Medium) *2]

"Oh? Another sneaky Zombie?"
