Chapter 9 Practicing Killing Zombies
Following Li Chengyi, Bai Zhi climbed down the stairs from the safety passage. She was wearing a sports suit with long sleeves and long pants, a hat, a mask and gloves. She was holding a two-pound double-edged axe in her hand. She was nervous but not worried.
This axe was chosen by Li Chengyi for her. The weight is suitable for her strength.
Moreover, under the same quality, the lethality of the axe is much greater than that of the sword.
Among the cold weapons against zombies, the axe should be the most efficient and most suitable weapon for women.
Li Chengyi told her that as long as it is wrapped tightly, the zombie's hands generally cannot scratch the skin through the cloth.
When she is in close combat, she only needs to prevent the zombies from biting.
When she encountered a zombie attacking her, she would use the axe to chop at its temples vigorously and quickly.
The temporal region on both sides of the skull is the most prone to fractures. If she chopped it down, it would not be far from the hypothalamus where the crystal nucleus is located.
As long as she saw the right opportunity and paid attention to avoiding, it should be no problem to use a half-meter-long axe to attack the zombie whose movements were still very stiff.
And he would deal with the other zombies, leaving only one zombie at a time for her to practice. He would also stay by her side and would take action immediately if she was in danger.
Bai Zhi looked at the heavy but powerful machete in Li Chengyi's hand. She
sighed in her heart, worthy of being a workplace elite who insisted on fitness after work.
Sure enough, self-disciplined people will not be let down in the end times.
All the way downstairs, there was no danger.
Until she reached the door of the closed unit.
Through the transparent thick glass door, Bai Zhi saw the appearance of a zombie up close for the first time.
It was a middle-aged woman, and the exposed skin was bluish-white and bluish-yellow, and some parts were even rotten.
There were bloody bite marks on her neck, and dried black blood on her face and clothes.
Her hair was messy, and her pants and the back of her clothes had marks of being stained by dust after struggling on the ground.
Her eyes were dull, her movements were slow, and she wandered around aimlessly.
It has to be said that Bai Zhi felt a little sad after seeing the appearance of the zombie up close.
Different from the green-faced and fanged zombies she imagined when she was upstairs, watching the bloody scenes of them attacking humans from afar.
The real zombies actually looked like ordinary corpses after a tragic death.
She said ordinary, meaning that if this was not the end of the world, anyone who saw them would only think that they were poor people in the mouth of a zombie beast.
No wonder it is always written in the book that some people choose to die with their loved ones who have become zombies because they cannot kill them. Some people secretly raise children who have become zombies.
Bai Zhi also asked herself in her heart, if one day, the important people around her, perhaps the teammates who will go through life and death together with her in the future, or perhaps the lover she wants to be with for the rest of her life, if they unfortunately become zombies, what will she do?
Can she attack them without hesitation?
Even if she knows rationally that they are no longer human. Without emotions, memories and thoughts as a human, zombies should not be compared with them as humans.
But looking at the familiar face that she has been with day and night and engraved in her heart, can she really stay rational and kill them with her own hands?
"They are no longer human. Your sympathy will only add to the trouble and is useless."
Li Chengyi's calm voice came from the side, interrupting her thoughts.
Bai Zhi: "Yeah, I understand."
Bai Zhi is not a person who doesn't know what's going on, and she won't be a saint like in the apocalyptic novels she has read.
She herself has a hard life, so how could she meddle in other people's business and harm the interests of her teammates.
Li Chengyi: "Well, then cheer up and follow me closely. This is your first training target. You are responsible for dealing with it, and I will take care of the rest."
After Li Chengyi finished speaking, he pushed open the glass door and walked out.
Bai Zhi hurriedly followed.
The sound of the two people pushing the door and walking soon attracted the attention of the female zombie, who staggered towards them.
Li Chengyi looked around and saw that there were no other zombies nearby, so he stood aside and motioned Bai Zhi to prepare for actual combat.
Bai Zhi stood in the open space in front of the unit door, holding the handle of the double-edged axe tightly in both hands.
She stared at the zombie walking towards her, estimating the distance and time.
When the female zombie was one meter away from her, she suddenly moved quickly to its right side, dodged its waving arms, gritted her teeth, and chopped the axe hard towards its right temple.
The resistance of the axe blade breaking through the zombie's skin and skull was transmitted through the handle.
After Bai Zhi felt the resistance of the axe's advance, she immediately gritted her teeth and pulled out the axe blade, and swung the axe hard towards the wound again. When
Bai Zhi finished the fourth chop and was about to chop the axe again, Li Chengyi gently pulled her arm, "It's okay, it's already 'dead'."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the axe. Her arms and fingers were still shaking because of the force and tension.
Bai Zhi: "...I really did it. I knocked down a zombie by myself!"
Li Chengyi: "Well, you did a good job."
Li Chengyi was somewhat relieved to see Bai Zhi was nervous but brave enough to try. Facing her eyes full of joy and excitement, he praised her generously.
Bai Zhi endured the bloody smell and touch, and pried open the zombie's head along the split wound, but found no crystal core.
Li Chengyi explained that not all zombies have crystal cores, which may be related to the time when they became zombies.
Because he observed that zombies with a higher degree of decay had more crystal cores in their brains.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you have done it for the first time, it will be much easier later.
Bai Zhi followed Li Chengyi, killing zombies and digging crystal cores along the way.
When she got tired of chopping the axe, they practiced how to analyze the terrain and plan their route to avoid the zombies.
The distance from Baizhi's apartment building to the supermarket in the community was not far, so after killing four zombies, they entered the supermarket smoothly.
This supermarket is a convenience store that serves the owners of the community. It is not very big, but it has all kinds of snacks, sauces, rice, oil, noodles, fresh food, vegetables and fruits.
Now the things on the shelves are all in a mess. The lighter snacks, biscuits, fast food and drinks have basically been taken away.
The remaining ones are flour, rice, large barrels of cooking oil, whole boxes of drinks, etc., which are large and heavy.
"What should we take?" Bai Zhi looked up and asked Li Chengyi in a low voice when she saw that there were no zombies at the door.
Li Chengyi: "Snacks, drinks, daily necessities, see if you want anything. We are leaving the day after tomorrow, and we can't take all the food at home, so we don't need to add more."
Bai Zhi: "Then let's go to the daily necessities area first."
Bai Zhi suddenly thought that if they were going on a long trip, the female hygiene products and underwear at home would definitely not be enough.
