733: Chapter 733 Isn't this also a kind of latex?

It was a crowbar, 1200mm long and weighing 2.8 kilograms!

It felt heavy and solid in his hand.

Moreover, one end was curved, the kind that could be 'hooked' right into a skull with a powerful swing.

Wang Quan hefted it, feeling quite satisfied. He also found a backpack, which was empty, but he put it on nonetheless.

Now, someone might ask, 'Ah, Host, Host! Doesn't he have a storage space? Why carry a backpack? Isn't that just dead weight?'

Well, let me ask you this: without body armor or thick clothing to act as protection, isn't a backpack on your back just like a 'turtle shell'?

Plus, it can hold things when needed and help you blend in.

Wang Quan swung the crowbar a couple of times, getting used to its heavy feel. This was his first time handling a crowbar; such a 'strangely-shaped' weapon felt rather peculiar to him.

Alright, armor? Check. Weapon? Check. A day's worth of food? Also check.

Wang Quan continued to move in a crouch as he left the convenience store.

The moment he stepped out, a foul stench assaulted his nostrils.

"Yue~" Wang Quan couldn't help but gag. He turned his head to look.

He saw a highly decomposed zombie limping towards him.

To be honest, compared to the virus and its ugliness, this stench was the real biochemical weapon!

That initial wave of odor nearly knocked Wang Quan out on the spot.

"Growl!" The zombie limped quickly towards him.

Wang Quan saw the zombie's broken lower leg. Since zombies feel no pain, it was walking using its ankle and knee as support, scraping off bits of dark red flesh with each step. The bone was already exposed.

Just looking at it gave him phantom limb pain.

Seeing the zombie charging over as if pumped full of adrenaline, Wang Quan now only felt intense nervousness, his palms breaking out in a sweat.

Well, what could he do? Even though this zombie was limping, making its speed only equivalent to a human's fast walk, it was still a zombie!

Aim for the lame leg!

Wang Quan gauged the distance, suddenly crouched low, and swung the crowbar with all his might.

Whack! Crack!

The zombie's already lame leg instantly snapped.

Wang Quan immediately rolled to the side.

The painless zombie tilted but still reached out to grab Wang Quan.

Unfortunately, the cautious Wang Quan dodged it with his roll.

The zombie fell to the ground and quickly began crawling towards Wang Quan on all fours.

Left behind on the spot was the lower leg broken off at the knee.

"Eighty!" Like a golfer, Wang Quan seized the moment and swung the crowbar hard.

Thud!

The crowbar struck the zombie's head with a heavy blow.

The hard crowbar combined with the full-force strike instantly shattered the already rotting, brittle skull.

The curved tip of the crowbar embedded itself directly into the zombie's brain. Coupled with the massive inertia, half the skull was pried open.

Rotten mush oozed from the head.

Wang Quan jumped back, glanced down at the mush stuck to the crowbar's tip, then looked at the motionless zombie on the ground.

"That's it? It's done?" Wang Quan's hands and feet were trembling, his heart pounding wildly.

He had killed a zombie!

Even if this zombie was severely crippled.

After staring blankly for two seconds, Wang Quan snapped back to reality and immediately scanned his surroundings.

A few dark figures were swaying in the distance. Their appearance left no doubt—definitely zombies.

This was no place to linger! Wang Quan looked around somewhat frantically and then spotted the 'Snack Friend Ming' shop across the intersection, its glass door half-shattered. He quickly headed towards it.

Passing by a common urban 'Beauty' roadside store, he yanked off a large eyeshade hanging at the entrance, wiped the crowbar with it, and casually tossed it to the ground.

Even the crowbar got to enjoy a latex massage.

Reaching the intersection, Wang Quan looked left and right like a thief.

A few scattered zombies were wandering on the main road.

"Trouble. If I just swagger across like this... I'll definitely be spotted, right?" Wang Quan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Speaking of which, do zombies have vision? They probably rely on smell and hearing?

At this distance... can't they sense me, a 'living person'? Wang Quan couldn't help but frown slightly.

It seemed the zombies here weren't the super powerful kind.

Not the type to all come rushing over at the slightest sound from miles away.

That raised the question! How did such 'weak' zombies manage to make the world lose order and destroy human civilization?

Wang Quan was no fool; there were probably many more terrifying things out there.

He looked at the Snack Friend Ming across the street, then glanced at a shopping mall diagonally opposite.

First loot Snack Friend Ming, then loot the mall. Wouldn't this haul make him eat like a king?

Risk and reward are proportional! Wang Quan observed the zombie distribution, picked a spot roughly in the middle, and began crossing the road in a crouch.

Don't see me, don't see me, don't see me... Wang Quan chanted silently in his mind, trying to lighten his footsteps as much as possible.

Believe it or not, he actually succeeded in crossing the road and reaching the other side.

I'm so damn awesome! Wang Quan couldn't help but beam with joy.

If the timing weren't so bad, he'd want to put his hands on his hips and laugh out loud.

Entering Snack Friend Ming, Wang Quan saw some toppled shelves, along with standing refrigerators and freezers.

It could only be described as a complete mess.

But Wang Quan wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.

Time to loot! Wang Quan began scavenging everywhere.

[You obtained a box (six pieces) of Hao Li You Pies]

[You obtained a can of Que Cao Coffee]

...Being thorough, Wang Quan managed to scavenge quite a bit of food. After cleaning out the front area, he moved further in.

"Holy crap!" Wang Quan was startled. By the innermost shelf, there was a zombie, but this one couldn't move because it was tied to the shelf.

"Hah~" The moment the zombie saw him, it immediately let out a raspy breath.

It struggled to move, but the sturdy hemp rope binding it dug in tightly. The rotting flesh offered no resistance; the rope was already rubbing directly against the bone.

"Scared the hell out of me!" Wang Quan, crowbar in hand, approached within two steps of the zombie. Judging by the clothing, it was probably a store employee. The build and attire suggested it was a woman.

Well, mainly because the lace bra was visible.

Who knows what happened that led to her being tied up here and turning into a zombie.

Hmm... Watching her struggle frantically, eager to get close to him, Wang Quan silently raised his crowbar.

"Thank you. You're the first girl to be so excited about me." Wang Quan said to the zombie before him, then brought the crowbar down.

A very tangible, physical thank you.

Looking at the motionless zombie missing half its head, Wang Quan let out a sigh of relief.

He picked up a nearby piece of dirty, dusty rag, wiped the crowbar again, and then thoroughly looted the entire snack shop.

He found some more snacks, mainly various loose items like spicy strips, quail eggs, small sausages, dried tofu, and the like.

Because there were many of them, and they were 'unhealthy' and 'scattered,' it would have been impossible to gather them properly in an emergency. This worked to Wang Quan's advantage.

He packed them all up and stored them in his storage space.

After confirming everything was looted, he looked towards the snack shop's side door, which directly faced the shopping mall across the street.

He planned to go loot the shopping mall across the street.
