"No way, killing zombies is not an option?"

Seeing that the main mission was still in the 404 status, Shen Yan really had the urge to curse.

But it's not completely hopeless now, as he hasn't tried to collect supplies yet.

And it is also possible that the number of zombies killed is not enough?

For example, you need to kill 5 or 10 of them to unlock it?
There is no choice but to keep trying.

"We'll go search for supplies later, so close the unit door first."

After the unit door is closed, at least it will be much safer to move around inside the building.

The blade of the knife rubbed against the old lady's clothes and simply wiped off the blood stains. Shen Yan quietly walked to the door and looked outside sideways.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The hot summer sun was baking so hard that the air seemed to be distorted.

There were a few zombies standing listlessly beside the flower bed in the community square, giving people the illusion that I could beat ten of these weak zombies.

But after experiencing the battle with the old lady zombie, Shen Yan knew very well that they were extremely powerful, but they just had no target to attack now.

"I can't believe that something this scary could actually appear in reality one day."

Until now, Shen Yan still has a strong sense of unreality in his heart.

But the facts were already determined, and there was no point in thinking too much. He no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and began to pull the unit door quickly.

"Squeaky!"

This old unit door is heavier than I thought.

And maybe it's because it hasn't been closed for a long time, the hinges are almost rusted, and the sound is particularly obvious.

The zombies beside the flower bed were almost immediately attracted by the sound, and rushed over roaring and crawling.

"Quick!"

"Quick, faster!"

Shen Yan was extremely anxious.

I used up almost all my strength, but the door still moved at a snail's pace.

Moreover, when the door was only one-third of the way closed, it seemed as if it was stuck by something, and no matter how hard he tried, it would not move forward at all.

"It's over."

Shen Yan felt extremely desperate.

At this time, the zombies had crossed the flower bed and were less than halfway to him.

Even if there was nothing stuck in the door, it would be too late for him to close it. Besides, he didn't even know what was stuck in the door.
However, at this moment, a woman's shrill scream suddenly came from the opposite side.

"what!"

"Go away, you ugly thing!"

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound, Shen Yan saw a man and a woman who looked like a couple, holding hands and running in the square, with several zombies chasing them from behind.

The woman's screams instantly attracted the attention of the zombies here. They quickly left Shen Yan behind and joined the chase.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted and didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly began to look for it.

Fortunately this time he quickly discovered that what was stuck in the door was a small section of bolt.

After the bolts were taken out, the door still closed slowly, but it opened smoothly without any obstruction.

The last moment before the door is closed.

In Shen Yan's sight, the man and the woman were almost caught up by the zombies.

But just when he thought that both of them were doomed, the woman suddenly pushed the man to the ground and ran away without looking back.

The man struggled to get up from the ground. He did not move or run. He looked at the woman going away. He seemed to be in despair and felt that there was no point in running away. Finally, he calmly closed his eyes and was knocked to the ground by the zombies.

"Human nature is indeed more terrifying than zombies"

Shen Yan never expected this result.

Suddenly, he found that he seemed to have a clearer understanding of human nature. When disaster strikes, everyone flees. In this world, apart from Aunt Qing, there is probably no one else who is trustworthy.

Shake your head and stop thinking about this.

After the door was completely closed, Shen Yan bolted it again and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this door is old, it is made of cast iron, so it is unlikely that zombies will be able to get in within a short period of time.

"Huh, it's so dangerous."

Without that man and woman, it would be almost impossible for him to close the door.

After calming down, Shen Yan thought about it and started knocking on doors one by one.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, he wanted to count how many survivors there were in the building.

At the same time, after confirming that there was no one in the house, he could take away the supplies there.

Boom!

"anyone there?"

Boom!

"Are you there? It's safe for now. I'm a neighbor on the third floor."

After knocking on the door several times, Shen Yan didn't get any response.

But when he was on the seventh floor, he seemed to hear the sound of a stool moving inside the door.

"There really aren't many survivors."

Shen Yan didn't feel too surprised.

It is summer now, and most people have the habit of going out to enjoy the cool air at night.

At the moment when the apocalypse broke out, the sunset was so beautiful that most people must have gone out to see it, which led to the fact that many people did not come back in the end.

But this is a good thing. The fewer survivors there are, the less competitive pressure there is, and the more supplies can be found.

I just don’t know if the fire axe was taken away by the person on the seventh floor?

Shen Yan remembered that the resident on the seventh floor seemed to be a bald man with tattoos, and he was also a drug addict. It would be even more troublesome if the axe was with him.

"There's no time to delay in activating the system."

Shen Yan's sense of crisis grew stronger.

Then he stopped hesitating and prepared to search for supplies.

But at this time, he found a very tricky problem: how to open the door?

The security doors on the first to seventh floors are all closed.

This old-style security door is extremely strong, and it is almost impossible to break it open by brute force.

To unlock a lock, unless you have superb skills, you also need very professional unlocking tools.
Shen Yan is a college student who just graduated.

If you are not a professional, you naturally don't have such a difficult skill as unlocking a lock.

Forget about professional lock-picking tools. They do exist, but they are only available in the lock-picking shops at the entrance of the community.

It's the end of the world now. He doesn't mind going shopping for free, but there are zombies everywhere. If he goes out, he will be blinded.
Shen Yan felt a headache.

But giving up the search for supplies is also impossible.

Finally, he had no other choice but to take out his house key and, by some chance, try all the security doors from the first floor to the seventh floor.

Too bad, none of them can be opened!

I found a piece of wire and poked it again, but it didn't help.

"Hey"

Shen Yan sighed and suddenly felt a little discouraged.

The importance of supplies is self-evident. Even if they can only get enough supplies for one family, he and Aunt Qing can hold on for a few more days.

But now the supplies were clearly inside the door, but he had no way of getting in.

Eh? wrong!

If I remember correctly, didn't he just chop an old lady?
Then she should have her house key on her, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Yan's eyes lit up and he immediately ran to the first floor again.
