Chapter 5: The First Kill of a Zombie

The divine wrench! Zheng Xi smiled slightly; at this moment, one could only say that he was a bit lucky to receive a weapon. He then picked up the wrench, took a deep breath again, and swung it a few times. The knife couldn't penetrate because it was too light, but the wrench was a different story. This large wrench weighed at least two pounds, and if it weren't for Zheng Xi's extensive training, he wouldn't have been able to swing this hefty tool with such ease

Bang! Zheng Xi's strike was incredibly precise, directly creating a massive hole in the zombie's head and forcing it back several steps. A considerable amount of red, white, yellow, and black brain matter spilled out. Upon witnessing this, Zheng Xi felt a wave of nausea rising in his stomach. "Damn, this thing is not only disgusting, but its vitality is indeed strong. A normal person would definitely be dead after a hit like that!"

"Install the silencer! The noise is too loud and will attract the zombies too quickly!" shouted a middle-aged man dressed in green camouflage. Following this, hundreds of soldiers faced off against tens of thousands of zombies on a road. The army was equipped with tanks, heavy machine guns, and other weaponry, but none had been deployed yet. The leisurely rifles seemed insignificant in the face of so many zombies, akin to a drop in the ocean.

At that moment, Zheng Xi was pondering why he had been chosen. Was it simply because he happened to play Prototype that day? He could not make sense of any of it, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters. The sound that had just occurred was quite loud, yet there seemed to be no zombies moving towards this direction. They said that zombies had poor hearing, and this was indeed confirmed.

Experience: 1 / 10

The zombie, with its jerky gait, approached Zheng Xi step by step while continuously howling. The watermelon knife on its head was firmly lodged in place, and its arms stretched forward with great effort, as if it wanted to tear apart everything it could grasp.

The watermelon knife was plunged directly into the bone, producing a sound of "crack..." This caused the zombie to stop feeding and suddenly turn its head. Upon seeing Zheng Xi, its body jerked upright. Zheng Xi was nearly sickened by the sight; the skin on its face was tightly drawn inward, with chunks of decaying flesh nearly falling off. It opened its gaping maw, dripping with black saliva, and limped towards Zheng Xi. The recent blow had only added to the horror and disgust of this zombie.

The grass egg... is stuck in the bone! Without a second thought, Zheng Xi abandoned his knife and fled. He only stopped after running more than thirty meters, but fortunately, the zombie had only moved a little over ten meters. "No! I can't escape; I must kill this bastard!" Zheng Xi glanced around and noticed a bicycle by the roadside, next to which lay a large, rusty wrench measuring twenty centimeters in length.

Finally, when the zombie was only five meters away from Zheng Xi, he made his decision. Gritting his teeth, he firmly grasped the wrench and charged forward! He had no other choice; if he wanted to survive in this apocalyptic world, he had to learn to kill zombies. If he couldn't even accomplish this, then he might as well die!

Moreover, there have been incidents where individuals were killed by a wrench, indicating that a wrench can also be a lethal weapon. Similarly, holding the wrench with both hands, one aimed at the head, much like a baseball player preparing to hit a ball.

Suddenly, the transparent box reappeared, and Zheng Xi fixed his gaze on the 1 / 10. Indeed! A hint of joy appeared on Zheng Xi's face; killing zombies! It really is possible to gain experience!

Waiting for the arrival of zombies like this, Zheng Xi had to admit it was indeed a bit terrifying! "Calm down! Calm down! Those who were bitten to death by zombies in the television shows were all because they lost their composure! I must stay calm!" Zheng Xi continuously reassured himself, understanding that he needed to level up quickly, for only in this way would he have a hope of survival, and it was precisely for this reason that he had the courage to come down!

The zombie continued to stretch its arms forward in an attempt to tear apart Zheng Xi. After a moment of observation, Zheng Xi discovered that this zombie's mobility seemed to have significantly decreased. Then, a transparent frame reappeared before Zheng Xi's eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, with a disability like this, I could just slap you to death!" Zheng Xi laughed, noting that this fellow was moving so slowly that it was indeed necessary to slap him to death. The zombie continued to shuffle forward, baring its teeth and clawing at Zheng Xi. Once again, Zheng Xi readied his wrench, determined to strike it down. With the last bit of focus on the head, he took a short run-up, and when he was just one meter away from the zombie, "Bang!" Then, the brain matter and black blood splattered everywhere.

Sigh... I have to walk a distance of over 400 meters! How nerve-wracking! At this moment, Zheng Xi's heart is racing wildly. In the past, he could run 400 meters in about 52 seconds at school, but now this 400 meters is what is referred to as the Death Avenue, with numerous zombies along the way. Taking advantage of the dim light, Zheng Xi picked up the wrench smeared with a considerable amount of brain matter and slowly walked forward.

Weapons must be dealt with first! How can we kill zombies without weapons? I remember there seems to be a store up ahead that sells machetes, and they are made of real steel, costing several hundred each! Zheng Xi stroked his chin and then nodded. As for how he knew this? ... Because he had a classmate who bought one, then showed off with it, and ended up getting beaten up.

"Da da da ... ... da da da ... ..." Aow ... ... evil ... ..."

Zheng Xi could not help but curse, suppressing the urge to vomit. At that moment, the zombie had already taken a few steps back. Zheng Xi's eyes emitted a glimmer of cold light as he strode forward, delivering another blow with the book directly onto its head. Although a significant portion of its skull shattered, it still did not die. The zombie's head was mostly crushed, but for it, which felt no pain, it was of no consequence.

"Why can't I see any zombies here?" Zheng Xi glanced around and found that there were not many zombies left, apart from a few scattered ones. However, he could not concern himself with that and continued to walk anxiously forward. At the moment Zheng Xi was heading towards the supermarket, in a location several kilometers away from here.

However, what followed was a moment of worry for Zheng Xi: what to do about the weapon? When the watermelon knife struck the bone of that fellow, Zheng Xi realized that the scenes in movies where a single stroke effortlessly cleaves open a person's skull are purely nonsense. Even when he struck without the other party being on guard, the knife got stuck, and the sensation was akin to chopping into a thick wooden board.

Host status: slightly weakened

Mobility: 0.5

Condition: Extremely weak

However, this also seems unlikely, given the loud noise! After a period of observation, Zheng Xi discovered that the surrounding zombies did not approach, and only then did he finally set his mind at ease.
