Chapter 3

Improved archery techniques, treatment for minor injuries, acid projectiles. After Zhao Bin currently uses these three level zero spells, his mental energy drops to a dangerous level of twenty percent, approaching a state of extreme weakness and near unconsciousness. Therefore, with his current abilities, even if he were to modify a high-level spell, he would be completely unable to use it

Write the two large characters for "Water and Electricity" solemnly above

With the wooden stake extended in front, Zhao Bin approached the kitchen step by step. A semi-transparent glass door separated the kitchen from the living room, and he gently pushed the door open. He observed that the bloodstains extended to the edge of the kitchen sink before coming to an abrupt end. Only then did he let out a heavy sigh of relief

Zhao Bin prepared several packs of instant noodles. He then found a change of clothes and thoroughly scrubbed his entire body with a towel to clean himself. He put on the prepared tight-fitting jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt, which were chosen for ease of movement. The slightly snug clothing can effectively enhance mobility, alleviating concerns about clothes getting caught or pulling on muscles.

After being busy for over an hour, Zhao Bin made more than ten trips back and forth before finally搬回 all the supplies that could be used to his residence. The girl had already come out and was standing at the bedroom door, staring blankly at Zhao Bin as he moved things around, seemingly lost in thought.

Water Creation Technique, which produces two gallons, equivalent to nine liters, at each level. A half barrel of bottled water from a water dispenser is sufficient for an adult's weekly water consumption. This is undoubtedly a crucial spell for Zhao Bin, who is currently facing severe water shortages.

As soon as the wardrobe opened, a girl dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans suddenly rolled out. She lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

Improved Archery Technique: Launch an object at the standard shooting speed of a crossbow. Level 0 spell

The response required three hours of mental effort, which is largely due to Zhao Bin's exceptionally effective meditation technique

The source of electricity can be either a power station or a generator. According to Zhao Bin, there is a medium-sized supermarket named Wanjiale outside the community, which has a gasoline generator inside. He has seen that generator, which is one meter wide and half a meter high, several times while passing by, supporting the power supply for the entire supermarket's lights, computers, and freezers, and the noise is not too loud. Even if it is a bit noisy, the hardware store next door has soundproof panels that can be moved over.

Zhao Bin leaned against the wall, sitting in the corner, and began to try out spells one by one according to the memories of his past life

Zhao Bin felt another wave of nausea in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Rewrap in three layers of thick clothing, put on gloves, and tie to a wooden stake. Insert a sheathed fruit knife into the back waist of the jeans. Once everything is ready, Zhao Bin changes into sneakers. He gently and slowly opens the security door, trying to make as little noise as possible

"No need for that, things like phones are already useless," Zhao Bin said, shaking his head. "I suggest you find something for self-defense before setting out. There are zombies everywhere outside. They are the kind of monsters that bite people."

My name is Li Fei. Fei as in the character for 'imperial consort'. What about you, elder brother?

After making up his mind, Zhao Bin sat cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom, beginning to meditate to recover from the mental exhaustion caused by the spell he had just cast

Such a long distance without a single zombie blocking the way, and the zombies downstairs are also wandering in the shade. Could it be that zombies do not like sunlight? Zhao Bin carefully observed the few zombies in the shaded area

Thank you for saving me The girl struggled to prop herself up and stand I have been hiding in the wardrobe for two days without food or water and I don't know how much time has passed If it weren't for you I would probably have starved to death in there The girl smiled gratefully at Zhao Bin

With liquefied gas, a large quantity of rice can be cooked into meals, but Zhao Bin is at a loss regarding how to handle the vegetables, fruits, and meat in the refrigerator. After all, without a refrigerator, these items cannot last more than a few days in such hot weather. A half barrel of bottled water can sustain Zhao Bin for a week if used sparingly. Then there are thirteen bottles of various vitamins in the medicine cabinet, along with a large amount of antibiotics like Roxithromycin and cold medicine. Zhao Bin was also pleasantly surprised to find a nearly complete piece of sheepskin in the storage room; this material, so familiar from his past life, is undoubtedly a timely aid for Zhao Bin. The sheepskin found is sufficient for Zhao Bin to create more than ten spell scrolls, which is of great assistance to him, especially given his current poor combat situation.

Thank you for saving me, I will repay you. This is my phone number.

What do you plan to do now? Zhao Bin was quite pleased to see a living survivor. However, he did not intend to keep the girl. Not to mention whether there were enough supplies, but simply the secret of being a mage made Zhao Bin reluctant to expose himself to others. As for the issue of loneliness, in his previous life, he had lived alone as a lich for several centuries without seeing anyone and had not felt that there was anything wrong with it

Acidic Missile: An acidic missile that inflicts strong acid damage. Level 0 spell

"Save me... I am a living person... I am a living person..." A weak female voice came from inside the wardrobe

Bang!

The metallic smell of blood in the living room was pungent, mingled with the foul stench of a decaying corpse. The warm breeze from outside blew into the living room, hitting Zhao Bin, while gradually dispersing the foul odor in the room

What should I do? The girl shook her head. I want to go home and take a look first

"Is he alive?" Zhao Bin asked loudly, drawing a fruit knife from his waist with his left hand

After using the solar water heater to boil two packets of instant noodles, Zhao Bin clearly felt much more comfortable. His body gradually recovered from the tension of the previous night

In terms of water, there are many bottled water options available in supermarkets, and there are also dedicated delivery points for large bottled water located beneath the residential buildings, which should contain a substantial amount of uncontaminated bottled water. ... Then there is the issue of gasoline ...

The security door next door was wide open. Zhao Bin used a wooden stake to push aside the iron gate. He slowly walked inside

Establishing a connection with Brother Ge and Sister Xiaoyu... She covered her mouth to stifle her cries, yet tears continued to fall in large drops from the corners of her eyes

The girl fell silent for a moment, then spoke again

Zhao Bin walked to the window in the living room, pulled back the curtains, and opened the window. Outside, on the driveway below, seven or eight small cars were parked haphazardly. Seven or eight zombies wandered aimlessly in the shaded area nearby, searching for the scent of the living. In the distance, thick smoke billowed from the horizon, indicating that something was on fire. However, the emergency services, 119 and 120, would certainly be unable to respond now. Occasionally, a distant scream could be heard, likely from the survivors who had been discovered by the zombies. After all, not everyone would happen to be at home with food prepared, nor could everyone have solar-powered water reserves. Those who were starving would inevitably sneak out from their hiding spots, rushing towards supermarkets and stores that had food.

The building where Zhao Bin is located is approximately three hundred meters from the supermarket. In between lies the community avenue, which is deserted, with not a single zombie in sight, except for the blood-red dried meat chunks. The dazzling sunlight shines on the concrete ground, making it difficult for one to open their eyes.

According to his current mental capacity, he can only cast three level-zero spells. Based on the construction of the mental model, the laws of this world differ significantly from those of his previous life. Fortunately, as a legendary powerhouse in his past life, he has already acquired knowledge that allows him to bypass certain rules, granting him a profound understanding of the essence of spells. Therefore, with sufficient time, he can modify the spell models to adapt to the laws of this world. However, this requires both time and energy, and what he lacks the most at present is precisely time and energy. After several attempts, he ultimately concluded that only three spells could be directly utilized.

Zhao Bin is quite satisfied with the power of his only two attack spells. The Arrow Spell is extremely fast and powerful, but it requires a medium. The Acid Missile is slightly slower, but it has great power and can lock onto a target, refusing to relent until it hits. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, making them suitable for use in different environments

With three spells at his disposal, Zhao Bin began to feel a bit of confidence. The memories of his past life did not directly transform him into a legendary powerhouse; he remained the independent Zhao and Tu Shubin of this world. His experiences from his previous life felt like watching a movie, having no impact on him.

Following the meditation methods of his past life, he felt his spiritual power, which was extremely weak compared to that of his previous existence, gradually constructing models of spells according to some mysterious rules. However, he was merely building the models of spiritual power without chanting any incantations, thus consuming only a minimal amount of spiritual energy

As one of the top existences among spellcasters, although spells such as the Water Creation spell fall under the domain of Druids, Zhao Bin from his previous life had long since researched similar spells

A profound silence enveloped the area outside the door

It is fortunate; it should only be the bloodstains of those two individuals Zhao Bin murmured, taking a deep breath to relax his body

Two corpses were piled together in the corner of the stairwell, swarms of flies buzzing incessantly as they crawled over the bodies

Zhao Bin immediately breathed a sigh of relief again. He put away the knife and the wooden stake, then walked over to open the wardrobe. The design of the wardrobe was quite ingenious; it could be easily opened from the outside, but was completely jammed from the inside, making it impossible to open. Zhao Bin suddenly understood why the person inside sounded so weak

"I live next door, you..." He hesitated for a moment, "You can come over to my place, and I will tell you about the information on these ghostly things. It might be of some help to you"

Oh, then I won't see you off.

After testing the spell, it was already noon. Zhao Bin, who had not had a proper meal from yesterday to today, clearly felt extremely hungry. He ran to the bathroom to check the solar water heater, which still had a full capacity of 100 liters, enough for a good shower and a proper meal. The water temperature, due to the strong sunlight, reached over ninety degrees, completely eliminating the need to boil water.

The fountain pen shot forth like an arrow released from its bow, and with a flash of its shadow, a crisp sound of "snap" was heard. Half of the fountain pen was deeply embedded in the wall. Zhao Bin stared in astonishment at this peculiar fountain pen

He opened the beige wardrobe, which contained various spices. Zhao Bin found a plastic bag and put all of them inside. The kitchen was well-equipped, and he had also purchased liquefied gas. Zhao Bin glanced at the meter; he had only used a little, just enough to move to his place. The refrigerator was stocked with a large quantity of fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats, which made Zhao Bin, who had always been concerned about vitamin and nutritional issues, very happy. The rice barrel was also full, enough for one person to last several months. Zhao Bin checked the water dispenser in the living room; there was still half a barrel of water left, so he decided to take it back as well.

After moving the items, Zhao Bin wiped the sweat from his brow and walked up to the girl

The girl's eyes immediately turned red upon hearing this

It is evident that you have a good relationship with them. Zhao Bin glanced around the bedroom, confirming that there were no supplies, and without waiting for the girl to respond, he said: "I need to go find some things, you wait here for now." After saying this, he disregarded her and directly left the bedroom, returning to the kitchen

"Don't look at me, I can't help it, there are too many zombies outside." Zhao Bin waved his hands repeatedly, jokingly. If he had lost his mind, he might have helped this girl get home, but the problem was that although his mind had been shaken, it was still quite normal.

Zhao Bin got off the bed and noted the time: 2:40 PM

First, it is necessary to test the power of these three spells. Zhao Bin brought a steel pen and an aluminum plate, which are used to test the archery technique and the acid projectile. As for the treatment of minor injuries, it has been tested previously. It has a very good therapeutic effect on certain types of febrile illnesses that do not involve bones

The hissing sound of corrosion spread throughout the living room along with thick smoke. When Zhao Bin approached to take a look.

Who! Zhao Bin exclaimed in surprise. He shouted loudly and realized that the sound was coming from the bedroom. Holding a wooden post, he cautiously walked over and pushed the door open.

Moreover, with the parchment scrolls, he can store the excess mental energy before meditation into scrolls. Once he has the means of self-protection, he can allocate mental energy to modify new spells. Although with his current mental energy he can only modify level 0 spells, there are still many extremely useful spells among them.

Next is the test of the acid liquid missile

The girl stared blankly at the bloodstains on the living room floor, then glanced at the two corpses piled outside the open security door. Her small face was pale, and her large eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Zhao Bin with a pleading expression.

After a brief incantation, a fist-sized, translucent green blob of slime, trailing a long tail, collided with the prepared aluminum plate

The belongings of the couple next door have largely resolved Zhao Bin's current predicament

In the bedroom, apart from a bed, there is a combination cabinet that occupies half of the room. The sound is coming from the lower wardrobe of the combination cabinet

Indeed, the zombie turned and charged forward, but it did not move to a place where sunlight directly shone; it merely circled in the shaded area

Yesterday, he still thought he could barely get by for two months with the two bags of rice at home, but now it seems impossible. Without electricity and water, no one can last two weeks. To survive, he must consider the issues of water and electricity. He took out a piece of paper and a pen

A trail of blood was spread across the dark red floor tiles. It extended from the entrance into the living room, and then into the kitchen

For example: detecting toxicity can determine whether food or water sources are toxic. It is also effective for biological entities

What tremendous power, what a hard pen... Such a great impact actually resulted in the wall being embedded with the pen. This left Zhao Bin greatly impressed by the material used in the pen's manufacture

Zhao Bin found a chair at https://www.hetushu.com and sat down to carefully consider the next course of action

Following the arcane runes that emerged in his mind, Zhao Bin softly began to chant with a fountain pen in hand. The rhythmic and mysterious syllables, combined with the rapid construction of a mental model, produced a dramatic change akin to a chemical reaction. Suddenly, a faint glow appeared on the fountain pen in Zhao Bin's hand, prompting him to quickly aim it at a blank wall.

From the window of the living room, one can directly see a corner of the Wanjiale supermarket outside the community. A motorcycle is tipped over beside it. The wall next to the supermarket is covered in bloodstains. Swarms of flies are constantly buzzing around. Even from a distance, one can see the dense black dots swirling in the air.

Zhao Bin's gaze sharpened. Although there were only the newlywed couple next door and no one else, he could not be certain whether any guests might come over. However, since there had been no zombies emerging after the loud noises last night, it should be safe here. Nevertheless, he still needed to remain vigilant and cautious

I, Zhao Bin, honestly say, Li... Li Fei, it's not that I lack compassion; you can just go to the window and look outside to understand. Zhao Bin spread his hands, indicating his helplessness

Not only was the aluminum plate corroded through with a hole the size of a fist, but even the more than ten books underneath were completely corroded through. This reached the floor tiles, leaving a small pit on them as a result

Thank you, Brother Zhao. Li Fei arranged her long hair and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to look outside

Zhao Bin also smiled and said, "If you can escape from such a situation, it can be considered good luck. On the contrary, the owner of this room..."

In that case, as long as we run towards the area directly illuminated by the sun, the danger should be minimal. However, we must first eliminate all the zombies on the fifth and sixth floors to ensure their safety and cleanliness. Otherwise, the high temperatures could potentially lead to an outbreak of plague. Additionally, there may be survivors and supplies to be found in other people's homes.

However, it is sufficient. At the very least, it is much stronger than the original self

Zhao Bin did not concern himself with her and returned directly to his residence, but the security door was not closed. The items that had been moved in were all piled into the bedroom that had been specifically cleared for storing supplies. He needed to sort and organize them properly to avoid not being able to find something when it was needed

Zhao Bin looked up and down at the girl, who appeared to be in her twenties, with delicate features and skin in the currently popular milky white tone. Her shoulder-length black hair had completely lost its original style, falling messily over her shoulders. The white T-shirt featured a large teddy bear on the chest, while the deep blue distressed jeans clung tightly to the girl's slender legs, outlining a perfect curve. However, as the girl rolled out, an extremely unpleasant sour odor suddenly filled the air. Zhao Bin couldn't help but cover his nose with his left hand
