Next, he will go out to scavenge the last remaining supplies on Earth and continue his mission of saving the goddess and upgrading the system.

Ye Lei stood up, put on his sun-protective clothing, and picked up his military knife, ready to leave.

"Brother Lei, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I need to go out and scavenge for supplies, otherwise, how will I support you?"

"Brother Lei, you're so kind to me, but I'm scared here all by myself. Why don't you take me with you?"

Chen Xueer acted coquettishly; she was indeed a little scared.

"If you're not afraid of the radiation outside turning you into a zombie, then come with me!"

"Ugh, I don't want to become a zombie! Aren't you afraid of radiation?"

"I have this!"

Ye Lei adjusted his sun-protective clothing and proudly puffed out his chest.

"Brother Lei, what am I going to do now that you're gone? Can you hear the sound of zombies outside?"

Chen Xueer gets scared whenever she hears a noise; it seems she's really terrified.

"Don't worry, after I go out, you can use the table to block the door. I won't come back and you can't open the door."

"Okay!"

"There's still some food here, so eat it sparingly. I'll come back to pick you up as soon as I'm done, okay?"

"I heard you!"

Chen Xueer looked very obedient; she had no one to rely on except Ye Lei now.

"I'll go out and clear out the zombies. It's safe here for now."

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he waved the Swiss Army knife in his hand.

Just then, a series of rapid banging sounds came from the doorway. It seemed that the zombies had caught a whiff of human presence and were trying to break in.

Just in time, Ye Lei also wanted to test his strength and see if he could use his newly learned freezing technique freely.

Ye Lei peered through the peephole and saw only one zombie, which relieved him. As long as he dealt with this one, there wouldn't be much danger.

He slowly opened the door, and the zombie rushed towards him. Ye Lei calmly activated his freezing ability, and just as the zombie's fangs were only 0.1 centimeters away from his neck, the zombie was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

This sudden turn of events shocked Chen Xue'er, who was standing behind him. She had thought that Ye Lei was doomed, but unexpectedly, he managed to use his freezing technique at the last minute, freezing the zombie in place.

Ye Lei took a step back, examining the ice sculpture. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. The zombie's ferocious expression, open mouth, and sharp teeth were clearly visible in the ice sculpture, lifelike, as if telling humans about its ferocity and evil.

Ye Lei realized that although the use of the freezing spell was a close call, it also made him deeply aware of his shortcomings.

He decided that in future battles, he would be more cautious and continuously improve his strength in order to protect himself and those around him.

"Brother Lei, how did you do that?"

Chen Xueer's wide-open mouth was definitely no smaller than a zombie's mouth.

"That's nothing! There's something even more amazing coming up!"

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he kicked the frozen zombie, scattering it all over the ground.

"Brother Lei, you're amazing! I love you so much!"

Chen Xueer was completely captivated by Ye Lei's handsome appearance.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Remember to lock the door tightly and use the table to block it. If any more zombies come, I can't help you!"

"Okay, I got it. Come back soon, Lei-ge, I'll be waiting for you here!"

Chen Xueer pleaded sweetly, worried that Ye Lei wouldn't come back.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Is it any of your business when I'm coming back?"

Ye Lei ignored her and turned to leave. He was in a hurry to scavenge for supplies and couldn't afford to delay any longer; if he waited any longer, there might be nothing left.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Ye Lei saw a robust zombie attacking other zombies.

The zombie was enormous, with a burly build, well-developed muscles, a distorted face, and somewhat clumsy movements.

However, even ordinary zombies were no match for it and were torn in half.

Ye Lei liked these big guys and tried to bind them to his device.

Twenty seconds later.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]

After the system notification, the big guy stopped attacking, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for his orders.

[Please name the zombie for easier control.]

Since it's so powerful, let's call it Ripper!

[Zombie successfully named: Ripper.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, Ripper let out a roar, as if he had understood.

Ye Lei focused his energy, trying to control the Ripper with his own consciousness and command it to attack the nearby zombies.

Upon receiving the order, Ripper immediately launched an attack on the zombie. It rushed in front of the zombie in an instant, aimed at the zombie's head, and twisted it off.

Ye Lei was overjoyed, knowing he had succeeded. From then on, he had a capable assistant.

Upon exiting the gate, Ye Lei saw the hotel security guard. He was wielding a baton and fiercely fighting with a zombie.

His police cap was askew, and his gray security uniform was torn to shreds, clearly indicating that he had been through a brutal battle.

"Damn, you delivered yourself to this door, you can't blame anyone else."

When Ye Lei arrived, the security guard saw that he was wearing a errand-running company uniform and tried to stop him in every way, saying that it was a high-end hotel and that no unauthorized people were allowed to enter.

Actually, I just wanted to ask him for a pack of cigarettes.

Ye Lei thought to himself, "How much money do I earn from running a single order? Where am I going to get cigarettes for him?"

This wasted a lot of his time, which is why Chen Xueer scolded him.

Ye Lei stared coldly at the security guard, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

I never expected you to be so aggressive even after turning into a zombie.

They're all just trying to make a living, why are they so hard on themselves?

Ye Lei decided to deal with this despicable security guard himself, and also test his own attributes.

He slowly raised his Swiss Army knife, and the security guard, seemingly noticing him, lunged at him.

Just as he was 10cm away from Ye Lei, Ye Lei made his move, slashing the security guard's neck with his knife.

With Ye Lei's 180 points of strength and speed, the sharp military knife cleaved the security guard in two, startling Ye Lei.

He didn't even see clearly how the military knife slashed down; he felt he hadn't used much force, yet the security guard's bones had been split open.

Ye Lei was startled by his own actions.

Looking at the security guards' corpses on the ground, Ye Lei was filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that in this apocalypse, survival was the most important thing, but he still could not forgive these security guards who had once protected humanity, but now attacked humans for survival.
