These little zombies were all dressed smartly and cleanly, with their clothes, shoes, and socks in perfect order. It was clear at a glance that they were children who had been carefully cared for by their families in life.

But at this moment, their skin was a deathly grayish-black, their eyes were filled with ferocious blood vessels, and each of them had bite marks of varying depths, black and smelly.

Some were missing an entire arm, their wounds raw and mangled; some had half their faces gnawed to pieces, revealing their gaping teeth; some had broken legs, dragging their bloodied, mangled limbs as they crawled.

Some had their bellies completely emptied, with their internal organs and remaining intestines dragging on the ground, yet they still wobbled forward.

They were still moving, still going crazy, their faces contorted as they roared at the Shenhe River, their only thought to tear him apart and devour him.

The little girl zombie at the very front had her face pressed tightly against the gap in the door panel, and her small, mangled hand was desperately reaching out.

She still had two small braids sticking up on her head, which, when viewed now, looked like she was making a lonely "V" sign at this absurd and cruel apocalypse.

Shenhe slowly closed his eyes to calm himself down.

Two seconds later, he opened his eyes again, the last trace of heaviness in his eyes completely gone, leaving only a cold indifference.

Instead of retreating, he strode forward, pressed the muzzle of his shotgun tightly against the hole in the door, aimed at the small zombies crowding behind the door, and pulled the trigger repeatedly without hesitation.

This gun didn't require reloading each shot individually; at this moment, he was practically using it as a ranged weapon, capable of piercing through a string of zombies with a single shot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Muzzle flashes continued to erupt as a barrage of shotgun shells poured in through the doorway.

Chaos erupted inside the door in an instant, with a series of muffled thuds, the dull thuds of flesh hitting the walls, and the shrill screams of zombies all mixed together.

Those small, thin bodies were violently thrown and torn apart by the enormous impact, crashing against walls, small tables, and low stools with a piercing and chilling sound.

Child zombies are small and scattered, but under the barrage of shotgun fire, they didn't even have a chance to get close to the door.

Shenhe remained expressionless, staring intently at the system map as the red dots representing the undead went out one by one, his experience bar jumping wildly as if it were going mad.

Congratulations on leveling up!

Current level: 3

[Received: Stamina Recovery Potion x10]

Note: Instantly restores peak stamina.

The door panel trembled violently under the hail of bullets, the breaches grew larger and larger, the sheet metal twisted and deformed, and sharp burrs curled up along the edges.

In just over ten seconds, the screams inside the door gradually subsided, eventually fading into complete silence.

A familiar warm current instantly swept through his body, and the dull pain from hitting his forehead and the soreness in his arms from firing shots all quickly subsided, and his body was once again filled with abundant power.

Shenhe took a slight breath, loosened the hot gunstock, raised the high-powered flashlight and shone it into the hole.

The room was in complete disarray, with small, cold corpses scattered all over the floor, none of them able to stand up again.

The small tables and chairs in the daycare were overturned, and the walls were covered with brightly colored cartoon stickers and rows of glaring little red flowers, creating a chilling contrast with the desolate and tragic scene before us.

He glanced at the system panel and saw that the experience bar had not only filled up to the maximum level, but had also overflowed by a large margin.

Shenhe took a step back, raised his right foot, and kicked hard at the door lock.

"Clang—!"

The metal door, already teetering on the brink of collapse from the blast of buckshot, swung open with a bang.

He avoided the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground and stepped into the house, instinctively covering his mouth and nose to block out the thick, almost suffocating smell of blood. He held up his flashlight and scanned the surroundings, carefully searching for usable supplies.

Scattered on the ground were many small breads and snacks. He picked out the ones that were not stained with blood and put them into his backpack.

Standing amidst this mess, gazing at the innocent and lovely names beneath the little red flowers, he remained silent for two seconds before turning and walking towards the indoor staircase leading upstairs, which connected to the third floor.

After walking around the third floor, Shenhe was surprised to find that this family childcare center was quite large-scale, having opened up an entire floor.

Inside, there is a spacious kitchen, a private bathroom and a public bathroom, as well as a small office. The rest of the rooms are all rows of bunk beds for children.

There wasn't much else worth looting, so Shenhe went straight into the kitchen.

His eyes lit up the moment he entered.

Three large freezers and a double-door refrigerator stand neatly in the kitchen.

He opened the freezer on the far side, which was packed full of frozen goods.

Bags of chicken wings, drumsticks, chicken feet, duck legs, and chicken breasts were neatly arranged, filling an entire cabinet with chicken products alone.

The second freezer was filled with large chunks of fresh beef and premium pork belly, frozen solid.

The last freezer was piled high with all sorts of semi-finished products: sweet potato balls, sesame balls, spring rolls, taro balls, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, chicken strips, chicken cutlets, popcorn chicken, and French fries—you name it.

There's nothing to hesitate about.

With a thought, the three freezers disappeared on the spot, filling three slots of the system space perfectly, saving the need for extra packaging.

As Shenhe opened the double-door refrigerator, his eyes shone even brighter.

In the upper refrigerated section, beverages and milk are neatly arranged, and a dozen boxes of tempting-looking tiramisu cakes are quietly placed to the side; the lower drawer is filled with fresh vegetables, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, all fresh and bright.

Pulling open the freezer compartment revealed only two items: prawns and ribbonfish, dozens of boxes packed tightly together.

Without a second thought, he took the refrigerator and all the supplies inside into his system space.

Turning to look at the other side of the kitchen, Shenhe's smile deepened.

Ten bags of rice and flour, each weighing fifty jin, were neatly stacked at the base of the wall, five bags of rice and five bags of wheat flour.

There were dozens of large cabbages, two large sacks of potatoes, and two large bags of carrots and cabbages piled up next to them.

On the far right was a bag of shelled peanuts weighing at least 100 pounds, and next to it were ten baskets of eggs, roughly two thousand in total.

Shenhe felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It felt so good...

He never imagined that such an extravagant reserve of supplies could be found in an ordinary residential building.

This amount of meat, vegetables, grain, and eggs is enough for him and Li Yuetong to eat comfortably for several months.

The haul was quite plentiful, and Shenhe walked contentedly towards the small office. He had already checked it; there was a bed inside, enough for him to stay in temporarily.

Empty rooms are everywhere in the apocalypse, so there's no need to rush home.

He pulled a quilt from the closet, spread it out simply, and lay down fully clothed. A faint, pleasant fragrance lingered on the quilt, clearly from a girl's use.

Not long after I closed my eyes, a very soft "thud" suddenly came from downstairs.

It sounded like something had fallen to the ground. The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent building. Judging from the direction, it seemed to be coming from a small, enclosed room.

Shenhe opened his eyes instantly.

He glanced at the system map beside him; everything on the third floor was normal, with no unusual glowing spots.

He immediately grabbed his gun, quietly left the office, and tiptoed up to the second floor.

Back on the second floor, the corpses of those little zombies were still scattered on the ground.

He scanned the area but found no living creatures, and no new red or white dots appeared on the system map.

Not right.

Is it because I've been possessed by an evil spirit?

Wait... gray dots?

He suddenly noticed a very faint gray dot of light in a small corner on the second floor, which resembled a storage room.

If it weren't for the extremely slight movement of that little gray dot when he was scanning the map just now, he would never have noticed it at all, since unexplored areas are completely black on the map.

"system……"

[The gray dot represents a person who is dying and is harmless.]

It turned out to be the case.

White dots lose their vitality and turn gray. Communicating with a smart system is truly worry-free and effortless.

Since he was about to die, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Judging from the situation, they are probably starving to death.

The hall was littered with corpses; even if he had been slightly careless when he entered, he might not have escaped unscathed.

Shenhe walked around the corpse on the ground and headed towards the storage room.

The noise he just heard was most likely something the other party deliberately made to attract his attention.

He wanted to see what kind of person could have such a strong will to survive after being starved for so many days.

If it were him, he would have died long ago from starvation after three days.

Even if you only go hungry for one day, you will suffer from low blood sugar, tremble all over, and be unable to stand steadily.
