The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 2 Man’s greatest enemy is fear

As soon as he stepped into the room, a disgusting stench penetrated Leon's nose.

He glanced around the room and found no one moving around. Most of the furniture was neatly packed. There was a large pool of black drag marks on the floor from the living room to the bedroom, and some flies were surrounding it, flying randomly.

Damn, it really stinks, it’s almost time to catch up with the canned herrings.

Leon frowned. As a doctor, he knew that these were traces of a large amount of dried blood, and a tragedy must have occurred here.

Clenching the weapon in his hand, Leon did not move forward. Instead, he grabbed the handle on the door and gently closed the door. He was careful not to make any mistakes. This would prevent zombies from behind.

It was early summer in June, and the outdoor temperature was generally above 26 degrees Celsius. The slightly higher temperature caused the stench of rotting meat to drift from the direction of the bedroom.

Leon did not rush into the bedroom. He stood up gently and checked the living room and kitchen. After confirming that there was no danger, he pressed against the wall and came to the bedroom door.

Follow the blood stains and look inside.

This bedroom is not big. There is a white dressing table under the window. On both sides of the window, there are two single beds, one large and one small. The walls inside the room are painted pink, with various contemporary stickers on them. The popular cartoon pictures look quite warm and cute.

A slender figure in a long red dress sat in front of the dressing table, motionless, like a statue.

Leon couldn't see her front face. There were many black lumps on her long pale blond hair, and the bare smooth skin on her back showed an unhealthy paleness.

On this day, this back view is quite beautiful, with a kind of incomplete beauty.

Leon didn't want to take any chances. He held his breath and walked lightly behind the man, raising the mace in his hand high.

As if aware of the movement behind him, the slender figure moved his shoulders and slowly turned his face.

Ka Ka Ka!
After the sound of bones rubbing together, a terrifying half-rotten female face appeared in Leon's eyes, and in front of this woman, on the white dressing table, sat a clean, gnawed child's skeleton.

Leon's heartbeat was so frightened that he stopped for a beat. Without any time to think, he used all the strength in his body and swung the mace hard on the man's head.

puff!
It felt like hitting thick leather. The iron nails on the mace penetrated the skull, and a little smelly pus was splashed out of the rotten scalp.

Leon gritted his teeth, pulled out the mace, and hit the sunken part of the woman's head hard again.

puff!

The female zombie was shocked, collapsed on the seat, and made no movement.

After killing the enemy, Leon still did not relax his vigilance. He took two steps back and looked at the miserable scene in front of him that would never be seen in peacetime, and his heart beat faster and faster.

Damn, it’s really scary. The gap between reality and the game is really huge.

However, after passing this hurdle, his fear of zombies suddenly dissipated a lot.

I can definitely do better next time.

After resting for a few minutes, Leon closed the bedroom door and began to collect the supplies here. He was very hungry now and needed to replenish more energy.

Perhaps it was because the mother and daughter were killed earlier, or perhaps because the single mother was better at running a household. Leon collected a lot of food here, including some canned meat, some flour, and several packages of barreled instant noodles.

It is a pity that water and electricity have been cut off for a long time now. Except for canned food and flour, many vegetables and meat have rotted and cannot be eaten.

With the food he found, Leon did not choose to stay here. He quietly sneaked back to his apartment, changed out of the clothes stained by rotten blood, and started preparing dinner.

Hehe, it's a good thing that the uncle's psychological quality is strong enough, otherwise, how could he still eat it!
Also a bachelor, Leon now has good cooking skills.

He did not think about saving, but chose to use local materials, and spent more than half an hour preparing a large table full of food.

Beef soup, pan-fried meatloaf, and braised beef instant noodles totaled four or three kilograms.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of time travel, I became a big eater.

While drinking a little wine and eating a lot of food, Leon felt that his body was sending a signal of satisfaction, and he finally had time to think about his future plans.

How should he survive in this world.

What should he do.

As an old fan of "The Walking Dead", he remembers many plots, but many things happen by chance. If he intervenes rashly, he will definitely cause many accidents.

Without intervention, Lyon's prophetic advantage would lose its effect.

The matter was so contradictory that it troubled him.

It is now June 6th, a month has passed since the disaster occurred. According to the timeline, the protagonist Rick will not wake up for about a month.

It would be a pity to waste a month's time advantage in vain.

Leon replayed the early plots of "The Walking Dead" several times in his mind.

What is the most important thing now, and what can you do that will bring huge advantages in the future?
After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, a place name gradually appeared in Leon's mind.

CDC Atlanta.

It was the institution with the deepest research on zombie viruses in this area, with the most advanced equipment and the most high-end talents. They persisted in the disaster for more than two months, and were eventually destroyed in a self-explosion due to exhaustion of energy.

When the protagonist team arrived, only one researcher named Dr. Jenner was still holding on. His wife, a female supervisor who was said to be a scientific research genius, had been accidentally infected, and mankind had basically lost hope of cracking the virus.At this time, perhaps, there is still hope.

That's a nice place.

Thinking of this, the originally ample time suddenly became urgent.

After eating and drinking enough, Leon rested for another hour. The energy in his body continued to flow, allowing his weak body to return to normal levels.

Instead of clearing away the remaining dishes on the table, Leon picked up the mace, took the car keys, and left his apartment.

After today, he probably will never come back here again.

After walking out of the door, he walked ten meters straight towards the corridor and stopped in front of a closed door.

This is also Lyon’s neighbor, Nick, a bank clerk in his 30s, who is relatively familiar with the original owner. In Lyon’s memory, this guy is a mountaineering enthusiast. In the cabinet in his bedroom, he has a climbing rope dozens of meters long. .

The original owner, Mr. Lyon, also thought about getting this climbing rope and using it to escape from here, but the closed door and weak body restricted the original owner's thoughts.

Taking out the Browning pistol from his belt, Leon pointed the muzzle of the gun at the lock cylinder of the door, feeling something in his heart.

Times have changed, kid, and the rules of civilized society no longer apply.

Bang!
A huge gunshot penetrated the ears, and a hole was instantly made in the copper lock cylinder.

Smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air, Leon didn't dare to delay at all. He pulled the door hard and strode into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, before he had time to observe the situation in the room, Leon saw a somewhat familiar figure, staggeringly trying to get up from the floor.

This, when he got up from the ground, he must have transformed into a corpse.

Without thinking too much, Leon quickly approached, about a meter away from the man, raised his hand, aimed at the top of the man's head with a ferocious expression, and pulled the trigger.

Snapped!
The corpse slumped to the ground, with yellow and white substance flowing out from its chin.

With no time to pay attention to this, he strode past the body and headed straight for the open bedroom.

After entering the bedroom, Leon opened the closet door. As he expected, a set of red and yellow climbing equipment occupied half of the closet.

A complete set, including boots, hat, rope, coat, and he even found an eighty-percent-new climbing pick.

Time is running out, and Leon has no time to sort it out. He must leave before the zombies arrive.

He picked up the equipment and ran to his apartment as fast as he could.

Within a minute of closing the door, dense footsteps and roars came from outside the corridor. The zombies seemed to have not found their target. They bumped around irritably and gradually began to wander aimlessly again.

Leon listened for a while and found nothing unusual. He quietly sat back on the sofa, took off his jeans and boots, and put on hiking boots, hiking pants and hiking gloves.

Compared with daily clothing, these mountaineering equipment are more durable and wear-resistant. In some cases, they can even block zombie attacks.

Although it will be hotter, but compared with life safety, this is nothing.

After changing his equipment and getting everything ready, Leon tied one end of the climbing rope to the stone pillar in the living room and threw the other end out of the living room window.

He lives on the sixth floor of the apartment, about 20 meters away from the road below, and this climbing rope is long enough.

There were no zombies near the road, so he could drive away as long as he returned to the road.

Leon sighed, walked to the window, grabbed the climbing rope, turned over and climbed out of the window.

This is not easy.

In his two lifetimes, he has never learned mountaineering or played with a climbing rope. Of course, he has never tried to smash a zombie's head with a mace or shot through the head of a prey with a pistol.

There is a first time for everything, and today, he did many things that he had never done before.

Maybe, life is like this, it doesn't give you time to prepare for many things.

If you encounter it, you must grit your teeth, be courageous, and go up against it.

Leon recalled the plots in other movies, holding the climbing rope tightly with both palms, twisting the rope into a loose buckle with his feet up and down, trying to slide down slowly.

After groping a few times, he felt he had mastered the trick. After another 2 minutes of crawling with his hands and feet, he was finally able to control the speed of his descent.

Slowly, on the fifth floor, the fourth floor, the third floor, and the second floor, Leon landed on both feet and really returned to the ground.

Huh, luckily I lived in the countryside when I was a child, picked out bird eggs and climbed trees, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy to come down.

After glancing at his apartment, Leon didn't stop any longer. He turned around and walked to the other side of the road, found the sky blue Chevrolet sports car, inserted the key, and got in.

After ten seconds.

boom!boom!boom!
Amidst the roar of the sports car, Leon made a sharp turn and drove towards the police station.

It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon. If we don't do something before the sun goes down, everything will become difficult after dark.
