"Why did you run to the city center?"

Li Chenzhou asked with a frown. He only told Sun Qiang to kill zombies. But zombies were all around the city. With Sun Qiang's cowardly nature, he shouldn't have willingly run to the city center.

The more prosperous the area, the more zombies there were. Everyone should understand that! Sun Qiang couldn't possibly not know. But because Li Chenzhou had been busy for the past few days, he hadn't paid special attention to Sun Qiang's location.

"I was..."

Sun Qiang didn't hide anything and told Li Chenzhou everything that had happened since he left the mountain village.

After obtaining the evolution potion and becoming an evolver, Sun Qiang had gained some confidence. Furthermore, Li Chenzhou's promise ignited a desire to kill zombies within him.

Li Chenzhou was right. Someone like Sun Qiang only lived for himself. He would do anything to survive. So, in the apocalypse, treating him as a friend would inevitably result in betrayal.

But using him as a follower to earn kill points was indeed a good choice, especially after telling him that killing zombies could get him evolution potions.

Sun Qiang also understood that Li Chenzhou was right. In this world, you couldn't rely on anyone. Only by becoming stronger could you live longer.

So, with the evolution potion as his goal, Sun Qiang headed straight for Qi City after leaving the mountain village, ready to slaughter zombies.

Li Chenzhou only gave Sun Qiang one evolution potion. He didn't give him combat uniforms or weapons. So, when Sun Qiang entered Qi City, he only had a rifle with a few bullets.

Sun Qiang didn't dare use it. He could only use it to boost his courage and scare people. If he used it to kill zombies, the gunshots would probably attract more zombies than he could kill. That would be no different from suicide.

So, after entering Qi City, Sun Qiang managed to get a watermelon knife, and then, like Li Chenzhou initially did, he tied the watermelon knife to a steel bar.

Although he was already an evolver, Sun Qiang was cautious enough. After using his skill once and testing its strength, he never used it again, because he wanted to save it for emergencies.

Sun Qiang would never do something like encountering a crisis, having his skill on cooldown, and then dying as a result.

Using this extended watermelon knife, Sun Qiang did kill a lot of zombies. After all, he was a level one evolver. Even without using his skill, his physical attributes were much stronger than ordinary people. At least, as long as there weren't too many ordinary zombies, there wouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, as he killed, Sun Qiang's combat experience became richer and richer. He even developed many ways to kill zombies on his own, such as attracting zombies from high places and then easily killing them.

There was one advantage to being greedy and afraid of death: in order to survive, he could often unleash his potential infinitely.

Every time he killed a zombie, Sun Qiang would remember the number in his heart, and he would remember it very clearly. Li Chenzhou had said that one thousand zombies were worth one evolution potion. Sun Qiang didn't plan to falsely report the numbers, because he didn't want to lose this opportunity to become infinitely stronger because of his petty greed.

But at the same time, Sun Qiang didn't want to suffer losses, so he had to remember the numbers clearly. How many was how many. Fortunately, his memory was good. So, while killing, while counting the numbers, he kept killing zombies on the outskirts of the city.

A day or so later, Sun Qiang had already killed more than 1,100 zombies. This speed was definitely not fast for Sun Qiang, a level one evolver.

This was because Sun Qiang was afraid of death, so he didn't use his skill, and he was quite cautious. He would never be rash. He would rather be slow than put himself at risk.

Moreover, for Sun Qiang, killing 1,000 in one day was already a good result. At least, he had already paid off his debt. As long as he killed another 1,000, he could go back to Li Chenzhou and ask for the second evolution potion.

Sun Qiang planned to go back to Li Chenzhou for an evolution potion every time he reached 1,000. He wouldn't save them up. Converting gains into combat power was the most suitable element for survival!

When night fell, Sun Qiang prepared to rest. He didn't choose to leave the city, but planned to stay in the city.

Although there might be zombies hiding everywhere in the city, Sun Qiang, who had stayed in the mountain village, knew that there were no zombies in the wild, but there were mutated beasts. Therefore, the city was safer for him. At least, he could find a room to hide in.

He found a shopping mall, carried a large bag of things inside, and then went to the roof of a building. He looked around with binoculars and confirmed that there were no large groups of zombies before deciding to spend the night on the roof.

He first closed and locked the door leading to the roof, then tied a long climbing rope to the roof and threw it down, as his escape route. Only then did he pitch his tent and set up the gas stove to prepare dinner for himself.

After eating and drinking, Sun Qiang sat on the roof, boredly smoking, looking at the dark city, thinking about the city's bright lights at night before, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

He asked himself in his heart, if he could go back to the past now, but he would also lose his power and become an ordinary person, if he really had this choice, would he agree?

After weighing it for a while, Sun Qiang actually found that he seemed unwilling to give up his current power, because before the apocalypse, he was just a small security guard. Anyone could step on him.

"Damn it! What's so good about safety? In that safe world, I was a security guard protecting others, but in this dangerous world, I only need to protect myself!"

Sun Qiang looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand, which cost more than forty yuan a pack, and took a hard puff. He really couldn't afford this before.

"This is a dangerous world, but it is also a world full of opportunities. I may die at any time, but I also have the hope of becoming a top powerhouse. That's enough!"

He threw the cigarette butt, which was only half-smoked, downstairs, watched it flutter in the air, and said to himself:

"And in the original world, I could actually die at any time, be hit by a car, be drowned, be hit by a flower pot falling from the sky. More people die from accidents every day than my daily wage, but in that world, I will never have the hope of escaping my low status!

"So, this world may be more suitable for me. At least, I now own this building. There's no one else here except me! How was that possible before?"

After thinking it through, Sun Qiang suddenly had a trace of expectation for the future of this apocalypse. He felt that he saw a glimmer of light in this dark apocalypse. So, he lit another cigarette for himself, and then he really saw the light.

This light wasn't just a glimmer, it was dozens of beams. On a street in the distance, a dozen cars were coming. Those beams of light were naturally the headlights of the cars in the convoy...
