Seeing Wang Tao shake his head, the bald uncles face suddenly beca urgent.

Brother, I know fighting zombies ans risking your life, but were not zombieswe need to eat! We have no choice but to take risks How about this, I only want a quarter, and the rest is all yours, brother!

The bald uncle clenched his teeth and lowered his demands further.

12.5 pounds from 50 pounds of riceone quarterwould be enough for him to eat sparingly for half a month, or even a whole month. And surely there must be other food inside unit 201; rounding up, he thought, at least two months worth of food!

If he still hadnt received any help after two months, he figured he might go mad But concerns for the future could wait; the imdiate priority was to secure food for the short term.

Watching Wang Tao remain silent, the bald uncle grew more and more anxious. If he had the ability to kill zombies, he would have gone alone long ago

Just when he thought Wang Tao really didnt want to take the risk, Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

A quarter, fine. But I have one condition.

Brother, just say it! I promise Ill agree!

The bald uncle imdiately beca excited and hastily made his promise. Whether or not he could do it, it was best to agree first.

Wang Tao looked at him earnestly and said:

Teach how to pick locks.

Ah? The bald uncle was stunned for a mont, then his face showed so difficulty. Lock picking isnt sothing that can be taught casually; were registered for that. If

There are no ifs. Just say whether youll teach or not. A quarter of the food in room 201 is enough to keep you alive for a long ti. He hadnt finished speaking when Wang Tao interrupted, Think it over carefully. Im in room 501; find there once youve decided.

As soon as Wang Tao finished talking, he walked away, as if without a single regret.

But he had barely taken two steps when the bald uncle hastily called out from behind.

Brother, dont go! Ill teach! Ill teach!

The bald uncle still harbored hope that society could return to normal, and he didnt want to do sothing that would ruin his future prospects. But hope was hope, reality was reality He had no other choice.

Good, then open the door, Im going in.

Wang Tao turned around, a faint smile on his face.

Please co in!

The bald uncle quickly opened the door.

His ho had the sa three-room layout as Ding Yuqins and was much bigger than Wang Taos.

However, it seed he had disassembled the furniture at ho; the place was ssy, with tools, boards, and whatnot everywhere.

I was sealing up the windows with stuff I found, so its a bit ssy at hodont mind, brother, please take a seat!

Wang Tao didnt mind and casually sat down. He then stuck the steel pipe into the sheath on his back and took off his gloves, face scarf, and glasses, revealing a young face.

Seeing how young Wang Tao was, the bald uncle suddenly felt a bit embarrassed; after all this ti, he had been calling a youngster brother.

Big Younger brother, wait a mont; Ill go get the tools!

Wang Tao didnt care about these minor details in the naming. It wasnt long before the bald uncle ca back with a bag containing various tools like torque wrenches and lock picks.

Younger brother, shall we start with the simplest?

Sure.

There are many types of locks, and the simple ones are actually quite easy to crack. Its just that ordinary people dont co across such things, so they seem very impressive.

The bald uncle started by explaining the basic principles to Wang Tao, then he demonstrated how to pick a lock, and finally let Wang Tao try it himself.

It didnt take long before they heard a click, and Wang Tao successfully picked a lock with the tools.

Younger brother, youre aweso!

After praising Wang Tao a couple of tis, the bald uncle went on to teach him other thods of lock picking.

When Wang Tao saw the bald uncle open a lock with just a piece of wire, he imdiately declared, Coach, I want to learn this one!

Wang Tao had headed out in the morning and kept learning until noon.

He felt that if he had had this level of dedication at school, he wouldnt have ended up in this sorry state.

Gurgle~

The bald uncle, sowhat embarrassed, covered his belly; he hadnt eaten for a day.

Wang Tao, seeing the situation, directly took out several squashed pieces of bread from his pocket and handed them over to him.

Thank you! Thank you! I really cant thank you enough!

The bald uncle was imdiately very excited as he took the bread; he actually didnt like eating bread, preferring stead buns instead. But he felt that the bread at this mont tasted better than any stead bun he had ever eaten.

[ 10]

[35/100]

The bald uncles HP bar also recovered a small portion.

Wang Tao also ate two slices of bread to fill his stomach. He had eaten breakfast that morning and, without any strenuous exercise, his appetite was about the sa as a normal persons, so he wasnt hungry now.

After a simple al, Wang Tao followed the bald uncle and learned for a while, then stood up and said:

Lets stop here for today. Im going to take care of the trouble in room 201.

Ah? Alright, alright! Brother, go for it, and make sure to be safe!

Hearing that Wang Tao was finally going to take action, the bald uncle quickly stood up in excitent.

Are you sure theres only one person inside 201?

Wang Tao asked while putting on his gloves.

Sure! He lives alone in there; I havent seen many people go to his place

Wang Tao paused in his movents.

Havent seen many, so that ans you have seen so?

I have seen him bring young won ho a few tis before.

The bald uncle scratched his head.

Won? His girlfriend or wife?

Cough, he brings different won each ti.

I see. So, youre not one hundred percent certain that theres only one person inside?

Yes. But most likely its just him, because he doesnt bring won ho very often, maybe once a month

Wang Tao said no more.

Assuming there were two zombies inside, that still wouldnt be unmanageable. After all, he had changed his weapons. If it really ca down to it, he could just run.

He believed that zombies definitely couldnt climb stairs faster than he could.

After rearming himself completely, Wang Tao and the bald uncle arrived in front of room 201 together.

You pick the lock, then go back ho and wait.

Wang Tao didnt let him get involved in dealing with the zombies.

Given the bald uncles short and thin stature, he probably couldnt withstand a zombies attack. Letting him in would definitely slow things down; Wang Tao would be better off on his own.

Wang Tao didnt want him to dieafter all, he hadnt fully mastered the lock-picking technique yet.

Alright!

The bald uncle fiddled gently with the exterior of the lock, then there was a click, and the door opened.

Without a word, he turned and ran back ho, closing his door behind him.

Wang Tao gripped the steel pipe tightly, gently pushed the door open, and quickly scanned the area.

There was no one in the living room, but there were many dark bloodstains.

Theres more than one person in this place!

Wang Tao instantly felt nervous, yet sowhat excited.

A single person turning into a zombie wouldnt leave so many bloodstains! Clearly, soone had been attacked by a zombie!

All the doors inside the house were open, and after Wang Tao took two steps, he caught sight of a long-haired woman, kneeling on the floor of the master bedroom with her back to Wang Tao.

The woman was slightly bowing her head, as if she was eating sothing.

Seemingly hearing a noise, the woman slowly turned her head, revealing a pale face with white, bloodshot eyes, dark veins all over, and in her hands half of a human head!
