This time, the location where the bomb is to be buried is not a residential area, but rather the street opposite. The danger along this route is no trivial matter. Apart from having to beware of rotting corpses, there are other sources of danger, such as mutated rats infected with viruses. Although the initial rats were weak and had little killing power, the viruses they carried on their bodies were extremely concentrated. If there was physical contact, it would be easy to become infected.

  There are also various pets raised by humans, such as cats, dogs, pet snakes and so on.

  All living organisms invaded by viruses will have a commonality, no matter how docile the species was before, they will become ferocious carnivores!

  They will eat corpses and also eat people!

  In later generations, carrion is just an object that most Evolvers can hunt, while these variant beasts can only be dealt with by Awakeners.

  Imagine a normal dogs sense of smell is 40 times that of humans. If it were to evolve again, how much destructive power would it have?

  Like an evolved snake, it has infrared vision membranes that can see prey thousands of miles away, and is unaffected by terrain, no matter how you hide, unless you have an electronic heat shield! And the exaggerated jumping force of rabbits, any city wall can be crossed, and the bats ultrasonic detection... too many, too many!

  All aberrant beasts are terrifying and difficult to deal with, especially some group-living ones. Its basically a disaster. Even if there is a base city with relic energy shields, it cant withstand the impact of the beast tide!

  At first, without evolution, your body can be infected by even a small mutated mouse!

  Although it is unlikely to have mice in this upscale community, pets such as cats and dogs are very common!

  As for why I chose the street opposite?

  The reason is simple, the olfactory sense of a special rotten corpse is three times that of an ordinary rotten corpse. If a bomb is placed in a residential area, its too close and easy to smell the breath of other survivors in the residential area, so they will avoid the bomb and go hunting directly.

  So can only choose in open spaces.

  ……

  Down the corridor directly downstairs.

  Its already been cleaned up here on the thirteenth floor, there are no rotting corpses, and the ones wandering around downstairs wont climb stairs, so its basically a safe zone.

  Lin Chao started cleaning up the twelfth floor.

  If it werent for considering that there might be a large number of rotting corpses gathered on the first floor, he would have taken the elevator down directly.

  By sunset, Lin Chao had cleaned up to the seventh floor.

  Each floor encountered at most four undead, relying on the advantage of the stairs, he didnt spend much effort to solve.

  Two days later, Lin Chao successfully unblocked the way to the first floor.

  As expected, there were indeed a large number of rotting corpses wandering around here, the stench of decay in the air was extremely thick, and the breath of the living was like a bright lamp in this putrid smell, very eye-catching. However, the pungent smell of pepper powder sprinkled on Lin Chaos body, combined with the smell of rotten flesh on his clothes, easily masked his own bloody smell.

  Sometimes, the keen sense of smell of a zombie becomes its weakness in dealing with it.

  Although thats the case, Lin Chao still didnt dare to be careless in the slightest. If he got too close to the corpses, he would be detected by the biological micro-waves in their brains. Therefore, if someone were to disguise themselves as a corpse in an attempt to deceive them, it would actually be meaningless and just self-deception.

  Do you still expect these mindless corpses to be able to distinguish between humans and their own kind through visual inspection?

  Lin Chao tried to stay away from the range of the corpses aura, this distance wouldnt be too far, about two meters or so, but to be on the safe side, Lin Chao made sure to keep a distance of at least three meters or more from them!

  The visual range of the rotting corpses is about ten meters, and when they are close to ten meters, they can vaguely capture Lin Chaos figure. However, they do not rely on vision, even if they see Lin Chao, as long as they dont smell the human scent on him, they will ignore him.

  However, the corpses are attracted to sound, so Lin Chao can only try to minimize the noise caused by his movements, and with their weakened hearing, the faint footsteps cannot attract attention.

  Circumvent a corpse.

  Sometimes the corpses were too dense, so Lin Chao would smash open the elevator door on the other side with a small part he had prepared in advance, using the tactic of "shouting east and hitting west" to lure them away. This method could even deceive intelligent humans, let alone these corpse with infantile intelligence.

  Watching several wandering corpses being lured away, Lin Chao tiptoed forward quickly and soon arrived at the gate. He quietly opened the iron gate, trying not to make a single sound.

  Finally arrived at the residential area.

  The air outside is slightly fresher, the rotten smell has been diluted many times, its just a bit hard to smell, not like the first floors enclosed space, which is so thick that its hard to breathe.

  Lin Chao had previously scouted the surrounding environment and chose a route with the least number of corpses to walk through. He quickly passed by the security booth at the entrance of the residential area and arrived on the big street outside.

  Desolate streets, broken vehicles scattered all over the place, a large pool of blood had dried up and turned dark brown in color, without arousing any interest from the vultures.

  Lone corpses wandered the streets like ghosts, with human limbs scattered everywhere. Most had been gnawed to the bone, with only a little flesh remaining, stained with blood. Some bodies were unrecognizable, and from their clothing, it was clear that all types of people were among them - ordinary young people, fashionable elegant women, successful businessmen in suits, and so on.

  At this moment, they all lie on the cold street, with their eyes wide open in death, and the last despair and fear still lingering in their lifeless pupils.

  The warm sunshine shines on the street, but there is no warmth at all, only a chilling cold that penetrates to the bone.

  Lin Chao took a step over the head of a beautiful woman, continuing straight ahead. Occasionally, when passing by a crashed vehicle, one could see the interior in disarray, with remnants that had been gnawed down to bare white bones, or corpses trapped inside, secured by seatbelts they couldnt undo. The force of the seatbelt was 400KG, and even three times that strength couldnt break free, let alone in such a position where one couldnt exert much power.

  Even a weak woman can rely on long sticks and other objects to poke them to death.

  There are just too many corpses on the streets, and killing them would make a lot of noise and attract even more corpses.

  Lin Chao stuck to the wall, moving cautiously, and when he passed by some vehicles, the rotting corpses inside sensed that he was not of the same kind. They immediately turned their ferocious heads, struggling to climb out of the car, but their bodies were restrained by seatbelts, unable to stand up. They could only crazily crash against the windows until they shattered them, regardless of their blood-soaked heads being pierced by glass shards, opening their mouths and baring their teeth like malevolent spirits.

  When passing by a red vehicle again ——

  Suddenly, a low growl came from under the vehicle, and Lin Chaos leg was caught by a palm. The hand was filled with brutal force, its five fingers like steel bars, pinching his ankle as if it would shatter.

  Lin Chao was shocked, and he looked down to see a rotten womans palm. Behind the palm, a gruesome head emerged from under the vehicle, with disheveled hair, like an evil spirit awakened from hell, its sharp mouth open wide, biting at Lin Chaos pant leg!

  Lin Chaos eyebrows furrowed, he hadnt expected to find a rotting corpse under the vehicle. Looking at the corpses body, there were several bite wounds and dry bloodstains, probably bitten by an infected corpse in the early stages of infection, hiding under the car for survival, but eventually succumbing to the invading virus and becoming a rotting corpse.

  He grasped the iron rod with his backhand and fiercely poked it downwards onto his head!

  Bang!

  The skull that had risen from the edge of the tire was smashed heavily to the ground before it could bite his leg.

  Lin Chao swung his iron rod and continued to strike down mercilessly.

  Bang bang bang......

  With a loud crash, the iron rod smashed down, although the rotting corpse didnt feel pain, it stubbornly tried to bite his leg, but under the force of the iron rod, its skull was directly smashed askew, unable to bite at all, until its skull was completely crushed.

  After quickly getting rid of the corpse, Lin Chao immediately left this place to avoid being detected by other corpses attracted by the sound.

  After more than ten minutes, Lin Chao finally arrived at the center of the street, where all the vehicles were crashed. He chose a black off-road vehicle and put the human remains on the drivers seat outside on the ground, then placed the biological detector on the drivers seat.

  Then put an oil barrel bomb on the drivers side.

  After doing all this, he closed the car door and immediately returned on his original route. If there were any special corpses nearby, they would be quickly attracted to him and he would be in danger.

  Just as Lin Chao returned to the residential area, he suddenly heard a low and mournful howl coming from afar. It wasnt the cry of a rotting corpse, but rather a wail similar to that of a canine creature.

  Looking back

  Lin Chaos pupils contracted slightly.

  Only to see a large golden dog wandering out from the corner of another building in the community, with large pieces of fresh blood on its golden fur. It had obviously sniffed Lin Chaos scent, and after a slight twitch of its nose, its bloodthirsty eyes fell on the direction where Lin Chao was standing.

  Golden Dog!

  Lin Chao was so angry he wanted to die.

  He had been observing the neighborhood for several days, how could he not have seen that there was actually a golden-level variant beast here!

  Run!

  He almost lost all desire to fight, and immediately took off running. Fortunately, his building was very close at this moment, and the golden dog was still on the street corner. He should be able to rush in before it does, with this iron anti-theft door to block its way... shouldnt it?

  But the fact is cruel.

  Before Lin Chao could run to the door, the Golden Hound rushed over, only about ten meters away from him. This distance was just a flash in the pan for its speed!

  Lin Chao flipped his hand and swung the iron rod away, attempting to slow it down.

  But what happened next left him stunned: the golden dog, seeing the iron rod flying out, immediately abandoned him and took off in pursuit of the iron rod.

  It had only run a few steps when it stopped, its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Lin Chao with a fierce glare, before running towards him again.
