Apocalyptic Sequence

Chapter 17 Survivors' Feast

After receiving the universal room key, Lu Fan did not rush upstairs, but instead began opening doors one by one on the fifth floor.

He had to clean up the zombies left in the house and collect emergency supplies left behind by the tenants.

Because the zombie outbreak occurred at 10 a.m., most of the tenants had already gone to work or school, and only a very small number of tenants remained in the apartment.

Lu Fan's target for cleaning up was the mutated zombies left in the apartment.

Everything went very smoothly, and Lu Fan easily killed zombies one by one with his superb swordsmanship.

Once the entire fifth floor was cleaned, Lu Fan had Han Xueyan and Sister Hong collect supplies, while he turned around and went down to the fourth floor to clean the single apartments downstairs before dealing with the apartments upstairs.

Soon, the third and fourth floors were cleaned up.

Lu Fan killed nearly forty zombies in total and gained more than three hundred experience points.

Lu Fan didn't stop and cleaned the second floor again.

At this point, his experience points had increased to 420.

"upgrade!"

Without hesitation, Lu Fan poured all his experience points into the Black Tiger Blade Technique.

[Notification: You have consumed 400 experience points, and your Black Tiger Blade Technique has reached Lv.12!]

The level 12 Black Tiger Blade Technique granted Lu Fan astonishing combat power.

As his swordsmanship improved, streams of martial arts knowledge flowed into Lu Fan's body, deepening his understanding of the Black Tiger Swordsmanship and making his swordsmanship even more exquisite.

When Lu Fanqing finished cleaning the sixth floor, a notification suddenly popped up on his panel—

[Notification: You have killed 50 low-level zombies, earning you the title of 'Zombie Hunter'!]

[Hint: Wearing the 'Zombie Hunter' title grants +3 to Night Vision and +1 to Inspiration.]

He got a title? Lu Fan was taken aback. He didn't expect the player panel to have so many features. Hunting enough zombies could earn him a title, and wearing the title could improve his physical abilities.

A +3 night vision ability means he is no longer afraid of the dark at night and can have amazing night vision like a feline.

Inspiration +1 point means his perception ability is stronger.

So-called inspiration is the sixth sense that humans have when perceiving other living beings; it is also known as instinctive premonition.

The high-inspiration telescope in the backpack is essentially designed to enhance the user's inspiration, allowing them to see previously invisible ghostly creatures—this is the effect of inspiration enhancement.

This is the panel's explanation of "inspiration," which allowed Lu Fanbai to pick up a piece of extraordinary knowledge.

Without hesitation, Lu Fan donned the title of "Zombie Hunter".

By this time, it was getting dark and evening was approaching.

"That concludes today's cleaning. The sixth floor and below are now safe!"

Lu Fan sent a series of messages in the tenant group, and immediately, the entire tenant group was overjoyed:

"Young man, you're absolutely amazing! I truly admire you and thank you for saving my life!"

"Dear handsome guy, when are you coming to the ninth floor to rescue me?"

"Don't rush him. He's been exhausted all day. Let the expert rest well; he'll come to rescue you tomorrow!"

"Master, could you bring me some food? I'm starving!"

The tenants' group chat was noisy; everyone was hiding in the apartment because zombies were blocking the door and preventing them from going out.

They can only communicate with the outside world through their mobile phones.

However, the tenants on the sixth floor and below were very lucky, because Lu Fan had already cleared out all the zombies, and everyone could move freely in the corridor. Of course, they dared not make too much noise, for fear of attracting the zombies on the street.

Sister Hong posted an announcement in the tenants' group, telling everyone:

"Residents below the sixth floor, come to room 308, the large penthouse suite, for a celebratory banquet today to congratulate Mr. Lu Fan on reclaiming the apartment area below the sixth floor! There will be cola and potato chips, all you can eat!"

By following Lu Fan and collecting resources, Hong Jie and Han Xueyan gathered a lot of snacks, which they stored in the large suite in room 308.

Because the room is large enough to hold a lot of things.

The suite has four bedrooms and two living rooms, and the gathering was held in the main hall.

The surviving residents from the sixth floor and below all came to room 308. After counting the number of people, they found that there were only seven survivors.

This also includes Lu Fan, Han Xueyan, and Sister Hong.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it is for humans to survive during a zombie apocalypse.

Aside from Lu Fan, Han Xueyan, and Sister Hong, the remaining four were lucky enough to sleep in and avoid going to work or school, thus avoiding the first wave of the apocalypse.

Looking back on it all, all four of them were still shaken.

At the celebratory banquet table.

Ren Jia, a middle-aged tenant with balding hair, said thankfully, "It's all thanks to Mr. Lu Fan. If you hadn't cleaned the floor, I would still be trapped in room 217. You've truly saved my life!"

Luo Mingyuan from room 423 next door was even more direct, slapping himself twice and apologizing, "Mr. Lu Fan, I shouldn't have questioned your abilities earlier. Really, thank you for rescuing me!"

After saying that, Luo Mingyuan kowtowed to Lu Fan:

"I, Luo Mingyuan, keep my word. This kowtow is to thank you for saving my life!"

Lu Fan helped the other person up, shaking his head and saying, "No need to thank me, I was just trying to save myself."

"After all, we all need supplies to survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xueyan poured Lu Fan a full Coke and urged him, "Then drink more. You've been working hard all day. You killed all the zombies below the sixth floor."

Hearing this, everyone looked relieved.

With a killing god like Lu Fan as a teammate, I couldn't be more at ease.

Despite the apocalyptic crisis, the other party's actions in clearing out the zombies gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

Although each apartment has a small amount of supplies, they add up to a considerable quantity.

The emergency supplies contained in the entire building are enough to sustain a few people for a month or two.

That's why Sister Hong had the confidence to throw a celebration banquet.

We reward everyone with cola and potato chips, ensuring that everyone gets their fill.

Just as everyone was eating and drinking, suddenly, everyone's phone vibrated, clearly indicating that they had received the same text message.

Are there mass text messages being sent?

Lu Fan's spirits lifted, and he guessed that it was the Eastern Federation's doing.

Sure enough, when he took out his phone and opened it, this text message came into view.

[The apocalyptic crisis has arrived. All citizens of the Federation are urged to stay indoors and avoid making any noise. Zombies have a much better sense of hearing than sight; they rely primarily on hearing to locate their prey.]

The various military regions of the Eastern Federation have quelled the unrest and are preparing to counterattack the cities and rescue the survivors!

The Eastern Federation will not abandon any of its citizens. Survivors, please strive to survive and await military rescue!

The message was short, but the information was inspiring.

Because the Eastern Federation's army is still there, humanity still has the confidence and assurance to counterattack the city and save the survivors.

Sure enough, everything is moving in a positive direction...

Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think of his adopted sister, Tang Rou.

If the military exercise went smoothly, she should be out of danger by now, right?

I hope Tang Rou is alright...

Lu Fan looked at his phone and silently stopped himself from making a call. After all, he didn't know the other person's situation, and making a call rashly might put them in danger.

Just as I was thinking this, a WeChat message suddenly appeared on my phone.

The person I was chatting with was Tang Rou!
