Shenhe was unaware that Li Yuetong had thought of him.

He dares not think about anything right now!

Keep your eyes on two paths and your ears on several levels.

He gently pushed open the emergency exit door, leaving only a narrow crack, not daring to make a sound. He held his breath and waited for a few seconds. The surroundings were deathly silent, with no unusual movement. He then slowly pushed the door open a little wider.

His gaze quickly swept over the stairs, finding no zombies or bloodstains. Only after confirming it was completely safe did he step into the stairwell quietly, carefully closing the door and leaning the wooden stick against the corner of the wall for stability.

He took a small step forward, carefully bent down, and peered down through the gap at the intersection of the stairs.

The steps on the nearby floors were clean, but about five floors down, he could vaguely see some spray-like bloodstains. He looked up again, but the sky was empty, with no one in sight and no unusual sounds.

He was faced with a choice: go up or go down. After a moment's thought, he made up his mind.

going up.

Why?

Because he likes being on top!

Holding onto the cold handrail, he moved up step by step, trying not to make a sound as his shoes scraped against the steps.

He would stop every few steps and listen carefully; the only sounds in the stairwell were his very light breathing and faint shouts from afar.

We arrived at the entrance to the emergency exit on the twelfth floor.

He tucked the hammer under his left armpit and wiped the sweat from his trousers with his right hand. Don't blame him for being timid; this wasn't a zombie with stiff joints, but a madman who ran as fast as a human! How dangerous! He could easily be killed!

He gripped the hammer again, took a deep breath, licked his dry lips, and his eyes turned cold. A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead, but he ignored it and gently tapped the door with the hammer head.

"Thump!"

The sound wasn't loud, but if there were zombies inside, they would definitely hear it. There were no zombies! He knocked again!

"Thump!"

Definitely not! Without letting my guard down, I gently opened the door. The motion-activated lights in the elevator lobby weren't on; it was pitch black. I peeked inside—it was empty! All three doors were closed; it was safe for now.

Using the same method, they went up to the 14th floor. This time, Shenhe knew there were zombies inside without even knocking.

"Ho!...Ho...!"

I stood in front of the passageway door and listened for a while. It seemed like there was only one tone; I didn't hear any other tones.

There should only be one zombie. It seems to have smelled a faint scent of living people and is getting closer and closer to the door.

When the moment came, Shenhe was no longer nervous and calmed down. He raised his hand to release the safety of his pistol, and with the hand holding the hammer, he pressed the doorknob and pulled the door open. This time, he didn't just pull it a little; he was afraid that the zombies would see it, come over, ram the door, and knock him away, so he pulled the door wide open.

The door opened, revealing light on one side and darkness on the other; a man on one side and a male corpse on the other—they were meeting in person!

"Ho—!"

The zombie was half a head shorter than Shenhe, with murky gray-white pupils and hideous blood vessels crawling across the whites of its eyes. Its skin was a deathly grayish-blue. As soon as it saw a living person, it immediately revealed a ferocious expression, opened its mouth and let out a hoarse roar, its teeth full of blood and flesh!

The next second, it charged forward like a madman! Along with it came a nauseating stench of blood!

Although Shenhe remained calm, when faced with such a ferocious monster, he instinctively slammed the door shut behind him, pressing his entire body against the door panel—a subconscious action!

In an instant, two completely different races, separated by a door, began a brutal confrontation of power.

"Hehehe—!"

The zombie was nearly as strong as an average adult. It roared wildly as it rammed and pounded on the door, the dull thuds echoing through the stairwell.

The door panel was smashed open, creating a crack, but Shenhe gritted his teeth and pushed it back in!

The commotion was so great that it alerted everyone upstairs and downstairs, with the roars of zombies piercing their ears!

The sound of hurried, heavy footsteps approached rapidly from a distance downstairs.

Shenhe realized that the stalemate could not continue.

He discovered that the zombie wasn't stupid after all; after its knocking on the door went unanswered, it actually took two steps back and charged at the door with all its might!

The opponent has gone too far! Shenhe is furious!

"Damn it! Who are you arguing with?!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the zombie retreated again to gather strength and charged forward, Shenhe suddenly pulled open the door!

Shenhe, however, remained hidden behind the door, staring coldly.

"Ha!"

Then the zombie charged out like a mad dog! Its stomach slammed into the corner where the stairs met! Not seeing anyone in front of it, it turned its head left and right to look around!

Strike while the iron is hot! Kill it!

Shenhe's face was cold and his expression was sinister. Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward with his left foot, exerted force with his waist and hips at the same time, gripped the hammer handle tightly with his right hand, raised the hammer high above his head, aimed at the back of the zombie's head, and smashed it down hard!

He used all his strength in this strike, unleashing all the fear and anger that had been building up for a while, and letting out a barely audible growl in his throat!

"My sword and shield!"

"Thump—! Click—!"

The hammer slammed into the zombie's head, the dull thud and the crisp cracking of bones exploding simultaneously.

But Shenhe did not stop.

The first blow caused its body to tilt forward uncontrollably, its skull cracked, and a hideous, blood-red wound was faintly visible beneath its hair.

He quickly withdrew the hammer, and the second blow followed immediately! An ordinary person would have been killed or knocked unconscious by the first blow, but the zombie was different. Even though it was severely injured, it did not die immediately, but its movements became a little sluggish.

When the second hammer fell, it had already turned halfway around, and the hammer slammed into its temple, knocking its head to one side.

Another ear-piercing sound of bone cracking rang out as a piece of the zombie's skull, from its temple to its forehead, was ripped open, with bone fragments piercing deep into its brain tissue.

With its vital organs wounded, its movements slowed down completely. When it turned and lunged towards the Shenhe River, it could no longer move fast; it moved as slowly as if it were walking.

Shenhe watched the zombie pounce, took a step back to the side, easily dodging its claws, and then swung his hammer, smashing it again into the wound on the back of its head.

"Bang!"

The zombie staggered forward and fell to the ground, its limbs twitching and struggling slowly, but it could no longer stand up.

Shenhe rushed forward, his eyes bloodshot as he furiously finished off the attackers.

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Hammer after hammer, he pounded it hard on the back of the head until a large, bloody, blackish-red crater appeared there, and only when the zombie was completely still did he stop.

Meanwhile, the Fire Seed System's notification sound appeared in Shenhe's mind!

[Congratulations Mr. Shen on activating the system!]

[Receive a new player gift pack]

[Panel module loading...]

As soon as the system voice finished speaking, a soft white light appeared on the zombie's corpse. The light spot quickly floated up from the corpse, turned into a stream of light, and shot straight out with a "whoosh," instantly disappearing into Shenhe's body.

[Spirit Dispelling Value +1]

At the same time, another reminder appeared in Shenhe's mind.

Shenhe was extremely excited after activating the system. This was also the first time he had killed a zombie with his own skills!

This is the last time!

Next time there will be cheat codes!

But he didn't have time to check the system functions. The zombies downstairs were rapidly climbing up, and the zombies upstairs were also rioting. He didn't know how many zombies he would face to capture him. He couldn't afford to lose his temper! Time to go home!
