On the second day of work in Yau City, I don’t know what will greet me next, or what kind of dangers and difficulties. Maybe I should prioritize my ability to survive in this abandoned city more than work.
how long.

As usual, I woke up at five o'clock in the morning. In order to avoid making too much noise, the PAD did not turn on the alarm clock function. It has become a habit to wake up naturally at this time.
The simple campfire had been extinguished, and the whole night was uneventful. The room was still dark, and when I opened the curtains, I saw the city before dawn.
A feeling of hunger came from my belly. I washed up normally in the bathroom in the dark and opened the first can of the day. It was the same can of potato stew as last night.
After hastily finishing breakfast, I returned to the street along the way up. The street had changed slightly from last night. There were a few more corpses. They were ferocious mutant pigs with fangs. Most of the corpses had been chewed.
Eaten.
As expected, don't be careless at all. If you take it lightly, you will soon become prey.
Are there really survivors living in such a dangerous city?
I can't help but have this question.
The wind was still very strong and cold, and the sky gradually became brighter. I tried my best to hide myself and make no noise, walking through various hidden places in the streets and alleys. If possible, it was best not to get involved in the fight.
This is not a game, there are no archives.
According to the map, the nearest work place to me is in the city's Ecological Research Center. On the way there, I passed by a city shopping mall and found a group of survivors collecting supplies.
Only one person had a gun in his hand, and the rest were armed with melee weapons, crowbars, steel pipes or sharp knives. They didn't notice me. I tried to make contact with them, but I quickly gave up the idea.
No risk can be taken, there is no need to contact survivors now.
I quietly bypassed them and continued to move forward, lurking in the shadows. When I arrived at my destination, it was already three hours later.
It was a very tight building, surrounded by iron nets and some obstacles, which seemed to be temporarily arranged.
The place shown on the map was right here, but the scene in front of me made me feel extremely uneasy.
The body of the person, and the blood... looked like he had been dead for a while, but it shouldn't have been long. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was a security guard here. The appearance of his death was very horrific, as he had been disemboweled and disemboweled.
The weapon fell nearby, a silenced pistol. Not being an arms expert, I couldn't identify what kind of pistol it was, but it didn't affect my idea of taking it.
It is unethical to take the relics of the deceased at will, but this is a way to increase the chance of survival.
There is darkness behind the ajar door, like a trap waiting for prey to come to the door. I have no idea what happened here, but something must have attacked here. The details of the work can only be known after meeting the client. The problem is now
The research center seems to have been invaded by something.
I don't want to go in and explore at all.
But this is equivalent to giving up a piece of work. Although Rowena did not clearly explain the consequences of simply giving up the entrusted work, it will feel very bad and lose credibility for sure.
After much hesitation, I still chose to visit the research center, hoping that the client was still alive. If he died, there would be no choice but to give up his work.
The research center doesn't look big, but you can smell a pungent smell mixed with the smell of blood from the moment you step through the door.
A touch of uneasiness enveloped my heart, and I closed the door of the laboratory. This was to prevent new mutant creatures or zombies from breaking into the place, but considering that I would be an obstacle if I escaped, I couldn't help but feel a bit contradictory.
When I wanted to turn on the PAD lighting, the lights in the research center came on. It seemed to have a self-sufficient generator, so it could maintain normal operations even if the city cut off the power supply.
I walked quietly along the corridor, trying to hide my presence. Occasionally I encountered some automatic doors. It would have been impossible to pass through without electricity, so even the investigation here would not be possible.
Most of the laboratories in the research center are filled with strangely cultivated plants and many research vessels, which are very normal sights. There are only the body of the security guard lying on the floor in the corridor and the floor and walls splashed.
The blood gave the place an atmosphere of terror.
Bloodstains are everywhere. Extremely fierce battles took place here. Bullet casings are scattered on the ground, and the smell of gunpowder smoke permeates the air. The people here tried their best to make the final sacrifice of resistance. The invading creatures are very powerful.
No body of the researcher was found, perhaps still alive. There were unusual blood stains on the floor, and some of the blood stains extended to the deepest part of the research center.
Someone must have been injured, but not dead, and had escaped inside.
I walked forward in the direction of the blood stains, and finally came to a large laboratory. The originally neat laboratory became very messy, with research equipment and various items scattered everywhere, and a humanoid creature attracted
my attention.
When I saw clearly what it was, the tension instantly reached a new level, and a sense of fear emerged from the bottom of my heart. I had seen this guy before, no, it should be said to be this kind of creature.
The exposed black muscles can even be seen, there is no skin on the whole body, and the deep-set eye sockets are inlaid with two scarlet eyes without pupils.
Mutant zombies!
The fear I faced for the first time is still very clear. I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of mutant zombie in another city. This is my first job. Do I have to fight a monster of this level?
Although I had the idea of running away, the mutant zombie discovered me at the same time that I discovered it. At this time, exposing my back to the enemy was tantamount to seeking death.
I loaded the pistol calmly. The monster seemed to be sizing me up, its scarlet eyes looking here, and I stared back without showing any weakness.
Come hurt each other! Staff mutant zombies!
Pre-emptive strike, oh no, it was a zombie! I took the lead in attacking, raised my pistol and sprayed bullets towards the mutant zombie.
"Ouch!!!"
The sound of gunshots and the roar of the monster echoed in the laboratory. The monster rushed over when I shot at it. The bullets hit it and blood bloomed on it, but it seemed to only make the monster even more furious.
As expected, the health value is not as high as usual. Although I deliberately aimed for the head, as I have no more than five fingers with the gun, it is already a great effort for me to be able to hit the mutant zombie completely!
The mutant zombies were only a short distance away from me, and they rushed in front of me almost instantly. I could even clearly smell the stench emanating from the mutant zombies.
The mutant zombie opened its mouth full of sharp fangs and pounced on me. If I were bitten, any part of the body would be severely injured.
However, it was surprisingly easily avoided!
Everything happened in an instant. I crouched down and rolled forward, completely avoiding the attack and bite of the mutant zombie, and fired a few shots into the back of the mutant zombie without any delay.
The mutant zombie missed a hit but instead took a few bullets from me again. It rushed towards me crazily and wanted to cut me into pieces.
However, I still dodged and pounced on the empty mutant zombies, knocking over a large number of tables, chairs and shelves containing experimental equipment in the laboratory.
I feel a little strange. The speed of the mutant zombies should not be slow. However, I can see every attack. I can see it very clearly. The movement of the muscles, from the start to the end point, my brain is telling me that I just need to go this way. Just hide.
An extremely clear moving image formed in my brain, and the speed slowed down a lot. I calmly observed, then judged, and acted immediately.
Although I was still a little nervous, the fear disappeared without knowing when. Looking at the mutant zombies that kept roaring at me after overturning the shelf that was pressing on me, I didn't know why there was no fluctuation in my heart.
Gradually it became calmer.
When the mutant zombies rushed towards me for the last time, I took a few steps back and subconsciously pulled out the bayonet tied to my waist. Following my feeling, I only used small movements to stagger the bites of the mutant zombies. The bayonet was instantly inserted into the mutant zombie's back.
As the feeling of the blade cutting through muscles and bones came from the bayonet, the mutant zombie's roar suddenly stopped. It moved forward several meters due to inertia and then fell limply to the ground as if it had lost its skeleton.
I looked at the bayonet in my hand, which was stained with dark blood. That attack had successfully severed the mutant zombie's spine. Because of the hardness of the bones, I spent a lot of effort.
Even mutant zombies have qualitatively improved strength, speed and defense than ordinary zombies. But as Arahito once said, after all, it is human beings who have changed. As long as the brain and spine are damaged, no matter how strong the vitality is, all will be lost. Ability to move.
That is, death.
Just in case, I put a few bullets into the head of the mutant zombie, and then lifted the alert after confirming that it was completely dead.
I thought it would be a tough battle, but unexpectedly it was resolved easily.
I couldn't help but wonder whether the monster had become weaker or whether I had become stronger... No, it was probably just that I was familiar with how to deal with it and knew where the weaknesses were.
