Pick up the ring from the ground and check its attributes.

[Ring of Vitality]: Excellent-grade equipment. An eternal ring, forged using a simple spell that grants vitality to the wearer.

Attribute: Constitution +5

Passive: After leaving combat, vitality can be slowly restored.

Set bonus (1/2): Not activated.

The "Ring of Vitality" and the "Ring of Energy" are among the most cost-effective pieces of equipment in the early stages of the apocalypse.

In the course of battle, minor skirmishes are inevitable.

As long as it doesn't involve serious injuries like broken bones or irreversible damage like severed limbs.

In one night, he can usually recover to about 70-80%.

However, it is only an excellent-grade equipment after all, and its attributes are obviously not good enough compared to the mythical or even god-level equipment that Su Yue previously possessed.

But if you're getting something for free, what more could you ask for?

Moreover, Su Yue, as someone who had been through it all, knew perfectly well how to unlock the equipment he had acquired, the hidden quests, and the hidden dungeons.

When you have enough strength, taking it again will be a piece of cake.

Su Yue put the Ring of Vitality on her hand.

[Ding! The "Ring of Vitality" has been equipped. Friendly reminder: Survivors can wear two rings simultaneously.]

Next, I added all 5 free attribute points to Strength.

Basic attributes: Strength: 20, Spirit: 15, Constitution: 20, Agility: 15.

Before level 10, lacking skills, strength counters all fancy moves.

Anyway, the other attributes are sufficient for now.

At this moment, the security door of room 804 was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to the continuous impacts from the old zombie.

However, these novice zombies generally rely on their sense of smell and hearing to locate their prey.

So when there was no more movement at the door, the old zombie also stopped moving.

After taking the key from Old Mrs. Li's waist, Su Yue calmly turned the key.

The old zombie heard the noise and let out a low growl.

Taking the initiative, Su Yue suddenly opened the security door.

Their eyes met; one was a lean zombie wearing a basketball jersey, his body covered in wounds.

Who knows what Old Mrs. Li did to it just now?

It brandished its mangled claws and lunged at Su Yue's face.

Su Yue turned slightly to the side, stretched out her leg, and gently tripped her.

The old zombie stumbled and lunged forward, barely managing to regain his balance.

Unexpectedly, he crushed his wife's head with another stomp.

After losing his balance, the old zombie plunged headfirst into the garbage heap in the corridor.

With a loud crash!

Instantly, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and cardboard were scattered all over the ground.

Su Yue took the opportunity to check the zombie's attributes:

[The Weak Zombie]

Level: 1

Basic attributes: Strength: 6, Spirit: 15, Constitution: 6, Agility: 3.

Great, very energetic!

After humans are turned into zombies, their attributes are increased based on their original attributes.

This shows that the old man was indeed very energetic, both in life and after death.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been relentlessly raving about Su Yue every single day.

However, it has 6 points in Strength and 3 points in Agility.

This means the action is slow and the damage is generally minor.

This attribute was clearly not enough in Su Yue's eyes.

The old zombie got up and grabbed at the paint bucket on his head haphazardly.

As luck would have it, it's green.

Su Yue certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He strode forward, his cleaver aimed at its neck!

The old zombie finally managed to remove the paint bucket, but instinctively tried to block it with his arm.

After severing both hands, the force of the blow decreased slightly, but it still managed to cleave off the zombie's jaw.

The zombies were still relentless, even with only their upper jaws remaining and their claws gone, they still tried to bite Su Yue.

Su Yue remained calm and launched his second attack, leaving the zombie with no way to dodge.

His head was chopped off and smashed into a paint bucket.

It seems that the green paint bucket is the old man's happy old home!

[Ding! Successfully killed a level 1 zombie, gained 10 experience points and 1 gold coin.]

Su Yue took a deep breath, her mind racing as she reviewed the events.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with his performance just now.

In theory, it could have been solved with one strike, but he used two.

After all, he was a mage in his previous life, so he's not very good at close combat.

Kick the corpse lying on the ground aside, and you'll find something else.

What has been revealed this time is a panacea capsule.

Generally speaking, a "universal capsule" represents post-apocalyptic supplies, something indispensable for survivors.

From small items like candy and soda to large-scale seafood platters and whole roasted lamb, everything can be included.

The method of use is also quite simple; just press the button on the top of the capsule, and the supplies will appear.

However, the capsules are single-use and cannot be recycled; any unused capsules can only be stored in the wristband.

According to the rules, when the apocalypse arrives, all the food that Earth originally had will rot and spoil.

The safe zones in major cities will only open after a 7-day new player period.

Only then will survivors be able to purchase supplies using gold coins from the system shop.

There's no way to survive by hiding; the only way to obtain the necessary survival supplies is to kill zombies.

Sure enough, the label on the capsule read, "[A 2L bottle of 'fat-guy's happy water']".

According to human experiments conducted by the United States, a person can live for 7 days without food and only 3 days without water.

In the end times, clean water sources are especially important.

Soda, or "fat house happy water," is a rare and excellent source of nutrition, as it not only replenishes water but is also extremely high in carbohydrates.
