23 Taking Action

Since he hadn't found any food in the house, Wang Hao didn't linger anymore and went back downstairs.

But just as he reached the first floor, Wang Hao suddenly had a bright thought. He had seen what these bungalows looked like inside, but he had no idea what the basements looked like at all.

With that in mind, Wang Hao started walking toward the entrance to the basement.

Since this was the third bungalow he'd been in, Wang Hao already knew where the entrance to the basement was.

He came to a door and turned the handle.

A flight of stairs appeared before him. They looked cold and sinister.

Grrrh…Graaahhh…Grrrhhh…

Immediately after he started walking downstairs, Wang Hao could hear the growls of a zombie.

The basement was an enormous mess. All the things that had been in there had been strewn all over the floor.

There were broken wine bottles and jars of vinegar that gave off a putrid smell. There were also bags of rice that had been broken open and scattered all around. Many other essential food items seemed to have also been stored down here.

So this is where they store their food. The dim, cool environment is suitable for storing things like wine and food. The ventilation is good and so is the temperature.

After Wang Hao finished looking at all the things lying around, he finally focused his gaze on the female zombie who had been standing around growling away.

He was puzzled. There was something odd about this young lady zombie in the basement.

This young lady had definitely become a zombie and was growling away nonstop. But besides some wounds on her body, her skin was just like a real person's, and it seemed even smoother than a real person's skin.

Grrrh…Graaahhh…Grrrhhh…

She was wandering around the basement aimlessly, continuing to make growling noises.

Wang Hao watched her for a while, then walked over to her and pulled up her clothes.

A few minutes later, Wang Hao left the basement.

He had discovered that even though this young lady behaved just like any other zombie, there had been no change in her body at all. It looked and felt just like an ordinary human being's: it was still smooth and supple.

But Wang Hao wasn't completely insane, so even though he saw that this young lady's zombie body was no different from an ordinary human's, he didn't have any other ideas about having sex with her.

If he ended up doing anything with this female zombie, he would definitely be pretty sick in the mind himself.

"Oh, wait a minute. Why didn't I check out her information?"

Wang Hao had just left the basement when he suddenly remembered that he was able to view the attributes of these zombies.

With that in mind, Wang Hao walked right back into the basement again.

He wanted to know why this young lady zombie seemed so special.

He went back down into the basement, and information about this young lady zombie popped up in his mind:

Mutant Zombie: Level 1 (Killing it will award you 100 XP)

Defense: 88

Attack: 60

Speed: 103

Talent: Bloodthirsty Violence. Once it tastes fresh blood, it will temporarily go into a violent mode, and all its attributes will increase ten times.

Wang Hao looked at the young lady's zombie attributes and was terribly shocked.

He didn't know that such zombies existed or that their attributes increased by so much after tasting fresh blood. This increase was even higher than his in Zombie Form.

"I'll just keep her here for now. Perhaps there might be some time when she'll come in handy."

Wang Hao figured that if he ran into some extremely powerful opponents, he'd send this young lady zombie over to lead the attack.

A zombie that could increase its attributes by ten times after entering a violent mode was definitely terrifying.

It was easy to kill an ordinary zombie, but if a zombie had ten times the level of defense, it probably wouldn't be killed so easily.

If nobody had guns, then such a Mutant Zombie was practically unstoppable.

By the time he left the basement, it was already past midnight. Wang Hao headed for another bungalow.

This bungalow didn't have anything strange about it besides three zombies wandering about inside.

He was also very lucky to find enough food for him to have something to eat.

Once he was finished eating and drinking, Wang Hao found a bedroom and fell asleep on the bed.

Having three zombies within this huge bungalow was more than enough to ensure his safety here.

...

The next day, he woke up early as the sky had barely started to lighten up.

Even though he had zombies guarding this house, it wasn't a familiar place for him, so he couldn't really be at ease.

Thus, Wang Hao hadn't slept very well and woke up very early the next morning.

He washed up in the bathroom, ate a little food, then left this bungalow.

Wang Hao found a house that was closer to his target bungalow and secretly observed his target bungalow from the third-floor window.

He smoked while occasionally taking a sip of a meal-replacement drink as he waited patiently for some kind of action from his targets.

Time passed slowly, but Wang Hao had plenty of time.

Finally, when the afternoon sun was at its hottest, Wang Hao saw that some people were finally making a move.

He saw two men push a barrel of oil out from the garage along with some tools as they started to inspect and add fuel to the cars.

A short while later, more people walked out of the bungalow.

Three men and two women emerged from the bungalow. One man and one woman sat down in the modified Hummer in front, while two men and the other woman sat in the Hummer that was behind it.

The two men in the courtyard used weapons to stab the zombies outside the metal gates, then opened the gates for the vehicles.

After that, the Hummer that had been modified to look like a metal monster drove out first .A short time after, the second Hummer drove out too.

The men waited for these two cars to leave, then hurriedly shut the metal gates behind them again.

Then they packed up all the tools in the courtyard and pushed the barrel of petrol back into the garage.

"My chance is here now!"

From the moment Wang Hao saw the three men and two women leave, he had already carried his backpack and gone downstairs with his katana in hand.

When he reached the outside of the bungalow, the two men inside the garage had not come out yet.

Wang Hao immediately switched to Zombie Form and hopped over the fence.

Once he got inside, Wang Hao tread softly and headed toward the garage.

"Ho, ho…Li Hu has finally left the house. Both of us can go in and relax with that Zhang Qianqian."

Just then, the two men inside the garage came walking out while laughing and talking.

In the next moment, they spotted Wang Hao.

"Ah! What…what is this?"

The two men saw Wang Hao in Zombie Form, and their faces instantly paled in fright.

However, since they were faced with a zombie, their first instinct was to turn and run back into the garage.

There were many metal tools and weapons inside the garage, and they thought they could kill off a zombie with one hit.

But Wang Hao didn't give them the chance to do that. He caught up with them in just two steps and used the katana to hack at one of their heads.

He kicked the other man to the ground and held onto his neck with one hand.

"Ahhh!!"

This man was scared to death, and he couldn't stop trembling all over.

Wang Hao ignored him and used his sharp nails that had been dipped in blood to write a few words on the floor.

Then he turned this man's head toward the words.

"What on earth?"

The man's eyes grew big and round when he saw the words written on the floor.

The sentence on the floor read: How many people do you guys have here?
