Chapter 23: The Survivors

"Roaring ......"

"Bang bang!"

When Fan Li knocked on the door of 602, it was like opening Pandora's box, and there was a loud noise inside, followed by the sound of frantically banging on the door.

Zombie.

More than one.

Fan Li shook the katana in his hand, even if the window in the corridor was closed, he still felt a cold from the inside out, this low temperature came from the heart, witnessing the scene of normal people becoming crazy, which made Fan Li a little depressed, he wanted to use slashing zombies to vent the depression in his heart, but obviously, the zombies in the house had not learned how to pick the lock.

The distance between humans and zombies is only one iron door, but it is not an alien like the Titan, and it is obviously not easy to break the security door from the inside with the power of flesh and blood.

The third floor is explored, the fourth floor is the zombie house and the chubby zombie, the fifth floor is the zombie dog and the locked door, and the sixth floor is the crazy woman imprisoned in the house and the corpse 602.

At this point, the exploration work on the third to sixth floors has come to an end.

Fan Li didn't go home, the slow exploration at the beginning was just an adaptation process for him to accept the new environment, and now, after experiencing danger and witnessing the existence of mutants, and even allowing Ellie to successfully kill them, Fan Li has initially accepted the fact that the end has come.

His plan today is to explore all the residents of this building.

When the exploration of this building is completed, Fan Li will consider the future plans, and the appearance of the mutant has given Fan Li a sense of urgency to plan ahead, which is beneficial to his survival in this chaotic world.

…………………………

Second floor.

The old building lives on this kind of floor is basically some elderly people, but fortunately, their doors are still in their original state, and the security doors that are difficult to pry open have not been replaced.

There was no answer to the knock.

"Bang!"

Familiar with the road, Fan Li stomped towards 201.

The door, which was only supported by a door lock, obviously couldn't stop Fan Li's kick, and after a few experiments, Fan Li felt that his strength had undergone some changes, and it was vaguely greater than in the past.

"Is it the optimization brought by the Monster Manual?"

Feeling the tense muscles in his legs, Fan Li knew that he was not in a reverie, and after seeing Ellie and the Titans, this slight change in himself was actually not too surprising.

After all, this level of strength increase is still within the range of normal human beings.

The door opened.

Fan Li no longer thought about anything else, but focused on his immediate eyes.

A foul smell came from the room.

Fan Li's eyes were sharp, staring at the shadows hanging in the living room.

It was impossible to tell the age of the other party, because after a week of decomposition, the body had long been unrecognizable.

Suicide.

Compared to the mad woman on the sixth floor who imprisoned herself in the spiritual world, the occupant of this room chose a more extreme way and left this world.

The older generation has the move of making shrouds in advance, which is the old man's pessimism about life, and it is also when there is an accident one day, so that the children can send themselves on the last journey with dignity.

This corpse is like this, wearing a green shroud, tattooed with pines and cypresses and spirit deer, the lines of the embroidery are golden, both the texture and the appearance are more distinctive, obviously this shroud is expensive.

It is hard to imagine what kind of psychological struggle the old man did at the last moment of his life to tie the rope to the curtain rod and then put it around his neck.

The corpse was wearing a shroud, because it was close to the balcony, and the windows were completely open, at this time there was a wind blowing outside, and the corpse was like greeting Fan Li, slowly swaying in the air, even though it was noon, but this scene still made Fan Li feel a little cold.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Fan Li leaned slightly over the corpse.

The appearance of zombies has overturned Fan Li's concept of atheism, and this point is ruled out, and Fan Li should show the deceased his last respect to the deceased when he enters the other party's [tomb] without permission.

There is only one thing in the house, and there is a suicide note on the coffee table in the living room, which reads in Juanxiu's font - [Wu'er Initiation]

As you can see from the font, the old man seems to have received some good education.

This letter is obviously left for the other party's heirs, as an outsider, Fan Li did not open it, but hoped that Wu'er in the letter would have the opportunity to open the envelope and take a look at the last thing the old mother gave the other party what she wanted to say.

Even though...... This is a slim chance.

Fan Li did not forget the purpose of his trip, and after paying homage to the owner, he began to search the house, trying to find something useful or food.

It is not difficult to see from the decoration of the room that the previous owner was more fond of life, and in a study, there were some yellowed books, and there was even an unfinished painting and calligraphy on the table.

As for the other corners, there is no shortage of porcelain and picture scrolls, Fan Li is not an expert in this area, naturally it is not clear whether these things are genuine or fake, but in this environment, even if they are really heirlooms, what is the use?

Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

Antiques have always been the most inconspicuous ornaments in the chaotic era.

After some searching, Fan Li found some cereal, two jars of unopened honey, a ginseng, a small piece of deer antler velvet, and several boxes of health products.

As for the food, there was only half a bag of rice and a few spices, and the meat and vegetables stored in the refrigerator had long since been spoiled due to the power outage.

Fan Li placed the food at the door, and then walked towards the opposite side.

202 is a resident downstairs, Fan Li knocked a few times before without getting a reply, and after a few more tentative knocks, Fan Li repeated his previous behavior and entered the room.

The door opened.

The owner of the house was gone, apparently outside when the end times broke out.

Because of the old couple living, there are obviously more materials and the like, and the biggest gain is that a full tank of gas can be used sparingly, and this can of gas is enough for Fan Li to hold on for a long time.

"Knock knock!"

And just as he was exploring, there was a sudden sound downstairs, which made Fan Li suddenly stop moving, and his back was slightly lowered, as if he was a giant cat ready to go.

Fan Li turned his katana sideways and slammed the back of his sword into the ground.

"Knock knock!"

Downstairs again, there was a voice, like the sound of a wooden stick touching a wall, and the other party was responding to him.

Fan Li's eyes narrowed slowly.

Zombies can only yell, obviously not having the interest in interacting with themselves, that is to say, at this time, the noise made downstairs has a lot of chance of being a survivor, a ...... Survivors with more conscious minds!
