Apocalyptic Sequence

Chapter 15 Hunting Zombies

The low-level zombies in the corridor outside the door are Lu Fan's experience pack!

At the same time, Lu Fan can also use the hunting of his opponents to test his own combat capabilities.

Without further hesitation, Lu Fan carefully pushed open the door.

—Squeak!

The sound of the door being pushed open attracted the attention of the two zombies.

The next second, the two zombies, like sharks that had smelled blood, pounced on Lu Fan.

— Clang!

Lu Fan stepped forward and suddenly drew his Tang sword.

The blade energy pierced the air fiercely, instantly striking the neck of the first zombie. With his Black Tiger Blade Technique at level 11, Lu Fan had almost no chance of missing; the precision of his blade energy was comparable to that of a surgical scalpel.

Tear!

With a loud bang, the zombie's head flew off its neck, its body severed from its head, and then fell to the ground.

[Hint: You have killed a low-level zombie (Lv.2) and gained 10 experience points!]

The notification sound from the panel reached my ears. Sure enough, killing zombies would earn me experience points!

Lu Fan's face lit up with joy. This was great news. If he could clear out enough zombies, the accumulated experience points would be no less than completing a high-difficulty task.

The remaining zombie, unafraid, lunged at Lu Fan.

But this time, Lu Fan didn't aim for the other person's neck.

Instead, he drew his sword with all his might and slashed towards the opponent's heart.

— Clang!

The terrifying blade energy transformed into invisible bullets, striking the zombie's heart squarely.

In an instant, blood burst from the zombie's body, splattering dark red blood onto the wall. At the same time, the zombie roared, but its body gave way and it collapsed, wriggling on the ground for a couple of moments before finally dying.

[Hint: You have killed a low-level zombie (Lv.2) and gained 10 experience points!]

It seems that the heart is also a vital organ for zombies... Lu Fan nodded silently, confirming this fact.

In both encounters, Lu Fan was probing the zombies' vital points. The first time was by decapitation, which had an immediate effect, and the decapitated zombie died on the spot.

The second method involved severing the heart, which was less effective than beheading; the zombie writhed a few times before dying.

This shows that zombies still belong to the biological category, and they need a heart to provide power.

Once the brain or heart suffers fatal damage, the zombie will die on the spot.

The horrifying sight of zombies continuing to move even after their hearts have been ripped out, as depicted in some outrageous movies, would not happen in the real world.

After all, the zombie virus only transforms humans into powerful zombie life forms, but it does not mean that zombies can ignore the laws of physics and do not need the heart to provide blood kinetic energy. All tissues in the body still need blood to transport energy.

Therefore, the heart and brain remain the zombie's fatal weaknesses.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that zombies were not invincible.

Aside from the initial chaos, once the situation stabilizes, strong humans can deal with low-level zombies using only swords and knives.

Not to mention, there are also armies equipped with firearms, making it even easier for them to clear out the zombies.

After killing the two zombies, Lu Fan received 20 experience points.

Although I don't have much experience, I can do it with ease and grace.

For Lu Fan, dealing with low-level zombies is as easy as drinking water.

At that moment, the door next to them was gently pushed open.

—Squeak!

Lu Fan immediately drew his sword and turned around, but this action provoked the other party to plead urgently: "No, don't kill me! I'm a normal human being! Please spare my life, sir..."

Upon closer inspection, the person who opened the door was a black-haired girl wearing black-rimmed glasses, a white T-shirt and denim shorts, with fair skin, a rather hot figure, and a looks that could be rated around 7 out of 10.

"I...I'm a psychology student at Jinling University. Wow, you're amazing!"

The black-haired girl explained urgently, her gaze towards Lu Fan filled with a yearning as if she had found a savior.

"Jinling University, an alumnus?"

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, not expecting to run into a fellow alumnus.

These words brought a smile to the black-haired girl's face. Sure enough, her guess was right. When she was peeping at Lu Fan killing two zombies from behind the door earlier, she noticed that Lu Fan was quite young and was probably still in college.

So she took the risk and tried to contact him, and sure enough, he was also a student at Jinling University.

With this alumni connection, the two can get much closer.

"Excuse me, my name is Han Xueyan. May I ask your name?"

"Lu Fan".

Lu Fan answered the other party and casually sheathed his Tang sword.

Seeing Lu Fan's actions, Han Xueyan became even more determined to latch onto this powerful figure, and immediately said, "Fellow student, you have impressive skills. I think your swordsmanship is already comparable to those masters in the martial arts school."

Are you going to clean up the zombies in the hallway?

"I have a suggestion: let's rescue Sister Hong first. She lives on the fifth floor and has keys to every floor. Once we rescue Sister Hong, we can clean up the entire floor and collect emergency supplies."

Han Xueyan spoke rapidly, explaining her entire plan.

This meticulous plan left Lu Fan somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to be so thorough, clearly explaining the pros and cons of rescuing Sister Hong. That made sense, because of the outbreak of the zombie crisis, the supermarket downstairs was surrounded by zombies.

The residents of the building will definitely face the predicament of insufficient supplies.

At this moment, if Lu Fan can rescue Sister Hong and obtain the universal room key from her, it would be a good opportunity.

Using the universal room key, you can unlock other rooms step by step and eliminate the guests who have turned into zombies.

Then collect the supplies from their house; that should be enough to last them for a while.

However, Lu Fan was not actually short of supplies; his room was stocked with several months' worth of emergency food.

Of course, Lu Fan would never tell the other party this.

In the end times, it's hard to know people's hearts; some secrets are best kept to oneself.

However, Lu Fan still agreed to the plan, since he was planning to clear out zombies to earn experience points, and the difficulty of clearing out zombies in the building was definitely lower than going downstairs to face the zombie army.

Under the pretext of rescuing Sister Hong, I can clear out zombies and earn experience points.

In light of this, Lu Fan immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Sister Hong about the situation on WeChat first."

After saying that, Lu Fan took out his phone and sent a private message to Sister Hong.

"Sister Hong, are you still alive?"

The message was sent and a reply was received immediately:

"I'm still alive, young man. You're still alive too?"

"Thank goodness, no one turned into a zombie (thank goodness.jpg)."

It seems that Sister Hong was lucky; she didn't become a zombie in the first wave of mutations and remains a normal human being.

"Sister Hong, I'm about to clean the whole building. Do you live on the fifth floor now?"

Lu Fan inquired about the other party's location.

Upon hearing this, Sister Hong, who lived on the fifth floor, immediately became agitated and hurriedly said, "Yes, I live in room 502 on the fifth floor right now, but there are zombies roaming outside my door. Young man, please don't act rashly..."

Sister Hong is a good person; she even gave the other party a heads-up, fearing that Lu Fan might die on the way.

"It's alright. I studied under the Fuling Knife School and have practiced swordsmanship diligently for a long time. Slaying zombies is no problem for me," Lu Fan replied confidently. Then, he opened the tenant group chat and sent a domineering message:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am preparing to clean the entire building, starting from the second floor and working my way up, cleaning each floor one by one."

"I need you to provide me with information on the number and location of the zombies outside the door."

"Leave the task of clearing out the zombies to me."

Upon hearing this, the entire tenant group fell silent, and the chat became completely quiet.

The next second, everyone was in an uproar.
