"I will protect you."

In Hong Xia's eyes, Yang Ming's smile was particularly dazzling.

At the same time, a passage of text appeared in my mind.

[Player Yang Ming applies to team up with you, do you accept?]

Hongxia chose to accept without hesitation.

The outskirts of the town were covered with untended, overgrown meadows. Because of this, the view was clearly visible: houses divided into pieces, church-like buildings with walls, and what looked like simple shelters surrounded by iron plates and wire.

Yang Ming did not plan to touch these places that looked high-risk first.

Through his experience at Jennifer's House, he discovered that this world has many strange settings of the game, the most unreasonable of which is that in these residences or houses, there are zombies beyond imagination.

For example, in a house, he calculated the maximum number of people, including the couple, their parents, and how many children they had, which would be about ten zombies.

But Yang Ming killed a total of twelve of them at Jennifer's House.

Moreover, one or two of them would appear from time to time in every empty room, and some would even appear silently from behind me when I was looting.

He was attacked from behind. If he hadn't heard the subtle sound of footsteps, he would have had a close and intimate contact with the zombies.

This also made the young man's vigilance towards this world reach a peak. Perhaps these zombies were not as oppressive as the ones running at high speed in works like The Walking Dead, but it would be very dangerous if several of them suddenly surrounded him in such a narrow place indoors.

The first building he set his eyes on was a very simple house, almost like a container, built with iron and wooden plates.

"Follow me."

Yang Ming's low voice came mixed with the sound of the wind.

He found that there was a staircase at the back of the house, which meant that he could go up to the roof to observe the situation first, which would be safer than going directly into the room.

He reached out and shook the stairs, but it was still firm. Yang Ming turned around and took out a sledgehammer.

"I'll go up first. If there's any danger, call me immediately."

"Ok."

There was no danger around here. Yang Ming quickly climbed the stairs in two steps and came to the roof. He also used the view from here to observe the situation inside the town farther away.

Sure enough, there are far more zombies in this place than in the wilderness.

Just a quick glance reveals that there are over ten zombies.

Also, because of the buildings here, the view is not that wide, so you have to be careful about being surrounded.

If you choose to build a shelter in a house in a small town, the first thing you need to do is clear the streets of zombies.

Yang Ming was thinking silently in his mind, and reached out to pull Hong Xia to the roof.

There is nothing special about the roof of the tin shed except for an antenna. The only surprising thing is a skylight.

A square-shaped window was opened on the iron sheet, and Yang Ming squatted down to carefully observe the situation inside the house.

There seemed to be no zombies.

Chapter 8 The Girl's First Search

Through the skylight you can see the messy bed, a door leading to the living room and another door leading to the bathroom.

The views from the other two rooms were not very good and it was impossible to see the whole picture.

"Just wait for me here."

Yang Ming warned Hong Xia, then jumped down from the roof under her surprised gaze and landed at the main entrance of the house.

——This is at least two or three meters high, and he just jumped down like that...

Hongxia covered her mouth.

The main door has an iron door frame with glass in the middle so you can see what's going on inside the house.

Switching the angle left and right, no zombies were found in the living room within sight.

He even jumped up and looked down. After all, those things might have been lying on the ground before they noticed him. When Yang Ming first saw them, he thought they were corpses, but as soon as he got close, they roared and crawled up, giving him a surprise.

With this jump, he discovered something was wrong.

It has a long, striped body and lies on the ground.

snake.

——Is it an ordinary snake or some kind of zombie snake...

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Ming found that the door was locked and could not be opened.

Helplessly returned to the roof.

"I'll go down first. You stay here until I hear from you."

"Ok!"

Hongxia nodded obediently.

Although I can't help much for the time being, at least I can't be a drag.

Yang Ming took a deep breath and jumped down, holding a stone axe in his hand.

The snake was sticking close to the ground and was a small target. If the sledgehammer missed, it might get bitten.

If that thing had any attacks with toxic properties, it would make his already low health even worse.

With his personality, he would not explore such an almost closed house unless it was absolutely necessary, but now he had to be more radical than before.

And, as for the snake...

The moment Yang Ming landed, he heard the sound of "sisi" spitting out feces. As he took a step forward, he glanced at the bathroom.

There are no zombies, only this snake!

He strode forward with a breeze in his steps, but he was not wearing grass armor, but his own shoes and pants.

The grass suit does not provide calf protection, but my pants can at least cover my calves.

The nameless snake raised its head, its pupils locked onto Yang Ming who was approaching it.

But he is faster!

He moved forward almost at a running speed, and the moment his front foot landed, his thigh bent as a reaction force, and the boots on his feet stepped hard on the snake's head with the weight and gravity.

At the same time, he bent down and chopped down with the stone axe in his hand. In just that instant, the snake turned over its belly. This became his experience.

After scanning the area again and making sure there were no more threats, he returned to the skylight and reached out towards the landing point.

"Come down."

"Ok!"

The nervous girl hesitated for a moment before falling from the skylight and was caught steadily by the young man.

Yang Ming's eyes became sharp again.

That's right, she doesn't need to do anything, and he doesn't expect her to really help in the battle or anything. Her existence is already a great comfort to him.

The slender and beautiful legs, although there are bloodstains and blemishes, are not enough to overshadow the beauty, the smooth and delicate skin, the body fragrance floating through the hair, the somewhat shy expression of being caught by him, the trembling eyelashes, everything he saw was a presence that aroused his desire to protect.

"You can come and help me plunder."

Without any lingering attachment to the beautiful girl, Yang Ming engraved these memories into his DNA and let her go.

"How to do?"

Hong Xia turned her head to look at the small living room, the patched sofa, the TV with a distorted screen, and further away was the kitchen which looked like it had nothing good in it.

"It's just like this. It's very simple."

Yang Ming taught Hong Xia step by step. Scavenging supplies can be said to be the simplest and most addictive part of all survival games.

Hongxia looked into the bathroom.

【Sink, untouched】

Then, she looked at the things inside and took them out to show Yang Ming.

"It's a hunting knife."

"Oh, Miss Ijichi's first foraged item was a hunting knife."

"Huh?" Yang Ming stared at the knife in Hong Xia's hand with wide eyes.

[Hunting Knife]: Very suitable for killing zombies and dissecting animals to obtain meat. Melee damage is 12.1.

He looked at the knife in his hand, which had some cracks but still emitted a cold iron glow.

In this game, there is a concept called equipment level.

The items that appear during looting are defined by your level and the looting stage.

For example, the grass and wood armor and stone hammer that he could make by hand were the lowest-level equipment here. Just from the appearance and materials, you could tell that they were made of stone, grass and the like.

But Hongxia...she actually found an iron tool from the sink...?

This is the second-stage equipment.

Hong Xia was a little at a loss after seeing the shocked look.

"Ms. Ijichi, have you checked your character status in your attribute list?"

"Yeah, the health column, right? I've seen it."

"What's your looting stage?"

"It's 1."

The girl even opened the panel to take a look.

Yang Ming silently closed the panel, and his search stage was 3.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the looting phase; it's purely a matter of character.

He placed his hand solemnly on the girl's shoulder.

"There's a kitchen over there, go search it."

"Ok."

The young man was not idle. He took the hunting knife and stabbed the snake on the ground.

[Get raw meat x10]

【Get Bones X5】

"Mr. Yang Ming! Here's a weapon bag!"

【Weapon Pack——Untouched】

"Search quickly!"

Yang Ming looked at the black leather bag in front of the girl. He had never seen this thing before. Maybe she could find something in it...

[Shotgun Bullets x10]

[Shotgun Bullets]: Bullets that can be used by all shotguns. They can destroy wood, and the damage drops rapidly after exceeding the effective range.

Well, maybe if I search by myself I can only get 5 bullets, which is not bad.

What’s the use of bullets without a gun?

Not long after, Hong Xia finished searching the dilapidated kitchen and looked at Yang Ming, whose whole body was grayish white, with confusion in her eyes.

"Mr. Yang Ming...what's wrong with you?"

"Although I knew there were differences between people, I never thought the gap would be so obvious."

A question mark flashed beside Miss Hongxia's head.

The young woman did not explain too much, but carefully counted the supplies she had just searched through the kitchen.
