Apocalyptic Sequence

Chapter 20 Reinforcements Arrive

As the morning sun shines into the suite of the large penthouse.

Lu Fan stretched, patted the snow-white body beside him, and said cheerfully, "I got up this morning."

"Hmm..."

Han Xueyan opened her eyes groggily, and the first thing she did upon waking was to stare blankly at the bright red stain on the bed sheet, which was rather adorable.

At this time, Lu Fan had already gone to the bathroom to wash up, and a few minutes later, he came out wrapped in a bath towel:

"Notify everyone else in the building that I need to continue cleaning the building."

The building has twelve floors. Yesterday, Lu Fan spent half a day cleaning only the floors below the sixth floor.

We need to continue cleaning today to free up the entire building.

"Oh well!"

Han Xueyan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up.

When they came out again, Lu Fan was no longer in the room. He had put on a fencing uniform, grabbed a Tang sword, and headed straight for the seventh floor.

"What a nemesis..." Han Xueyan complained, but then she noticed an opened can of eight-treasure porridge by the window. Immediately, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.

............

Cleaning the floors was a breeze; Lu Fan, with his level 12 Black Tiger Blade Technique, sliced ​​through everything with ease.

Ordinary zombies were no match for Lu Fan; many were beheaded with a single blow.

Along the way, the surviving apartment residents witnessed this scene and were overjoyed.

Soon, Lu Fan arrived at the eleventh floor.

As this was the second to last floor, Lu Fan couldn't help but relax a bit when he reached it.

However, when he opened the door to apartment 1107, suddenly, a fleshy tongue shot out!

Lu Fan reacted extremely quickly, immediately parrying with his sword.

Ding!

With a loud bang, Lu Fan involuntarily staggered back several steps. Looking up, he saw a monstrous zombie with a long, toad-like tongue glaring fiercely at him from inside the room.

[Warning: Elite zombies have been spotted ahead. Please proceed with caution!]

Elite zombies? Lu Fan suddenly realized, no wonder they looked different from ordinary zombies.

The opponent is an elite zombie, a being one level higher than an ordinary zombie.

This means that the opponent is more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies.

However, Lu Fan did not feel afraid; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

This is the first time Lu Fan has encountered an elite zombie.

The last time I fought Jia Fei one-on-one in the martial arts gym, although the panel indicated that the opponent was an elite zombie, Jia Fei was still human at that time and had not yet turned into a zombie.

Strictly speaking, this was Lu Fan's first battle against elite zombies.

Compared to his time at the martial arts school, Lu Fan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. His Black Tiger Saber Technique has reached level 12, which is something that Lu Fan could never compare to back then.

Secondly, the fact that the panel only told him to be cautious indicates that the elite zombies are likely not as strong as he is.

Lu Fan had great faith in the assessment made by the intellectual disability panel.

In view of this, Lu Fan chose to take the initiative.

--boom!

Lu Fan stomped his foot and charged headlong into the tongue-out zombie.

The zombie with its tongue sticking out raised its tongue like a giant whip, lashing out fiercely at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan decisively drew his sword, gathering all his strength.

— Clang!

The Tang sword was drawn fiercely, splitting the tongue in two and wedging it firmly in the middle.

The tongue, which was clearly three meters long, was split in two, with the front 1 meters split in half. No matter how fearless the zombie was, the immense pain shocked its nerves, causing it to go into a state of madness.

"--roar!"

The zombie with its tongue sticking out roared, and tongues even extended from its two arms, stabbing at Lu Fan from the left and right respectively.

Lu Fan remained calm in the face of danger, and with a spinning slash, severed all three tongues.

— Clang!

The blade energy erupted, striking the head of the tongue-out zombie directly.

In an instant, the head of the tongue-out zombie exploded, splattering dark red blood and a white paste-like substance, staining the entire wall and apartment floor red.

[Hint: You have killed an elite zombie (Lv.5) and gained 50 experience points!]

"Done!"

Lu Fan sheathed his sword and easily claimed the experience reward.

However, he soon noticed that on the part of the tongue-out zombie's body, where its head had been split open, a crystal was shimmering with a special light.

What... what is this?!

Lu Fan stepped forward and picked up the crystal core from the corpse.

"What is this?"

Lu Fan opened the panel and tried to use it to identify the items.

As expected, the mental disability panel displayed an assessment message:

[Zombie Brain Core]: A remnant of an elite zombie, which can be used to make secret medicine. The item level is 1.

"What is the secret medicine?"

Lu Fan immediately realized the key point and inquired about the mental disability panel.

[Hint: Once the host completes the decryption task, information about the secret medicine will be available!]

Another decryption mission?

Lu Fan scratched his head helplessly. His intuition told him that the secret medicine was the key to the advancement of extraordinary individuals.

The secret elixir may be the key item for humans to advance to the level of extraordinary beings after taking it.

Once you can make the secret medicine, it means you can mass-produce extraordinary individuals.

Therefore, the price of the zombie brain core right in front of you is self-evident!

Thinking of this, Lu Fan hurriedly put away the zombie brain core and placed it in his spatial backpack.

Since activating the spatial backpack, Lu Fan has found that its role in the apocalypse has become increasingly important. First of all, it can store sealed items without worrying about the negative effects of carrying them around.

Secondly, it can store a large amount of food, so you don't have to worry about running out of food.

The only downside is that the backpack space is not big enough, only 3x3x3 cubic meters. I wonder if this space can be upgraded as I grow.

Lu Fan snapped out of his thoughts and continued cleaning the floors.

The cleanup proceeded smoothly without any further incidents or complications.

Half an hour later, Lu Fan finished clearing out the last zombie on the twelfth floor.

At this point, he had completely cleared away all the zombies in the building except for the lobby on the first floor.

Thanks to this, Lu Fan accumulated more than 900 experience points.

Based on the 10 experience points given for each ordinary zombie, plus the elite zombies, Lu Fan hunted more than eighty zombies in total, a frighteningly large number.

For this reason, all the residents of the building revered him as a god and regarded Lu Fan as their savior.

"upgrade!"

With a thought, Lu Fan began to upgrade his swordsmanship.

[Notification: You have consumed 400 experience points, and your Black Tiger Blade Technique has reached Lv.13!]

[Notification: You have consumed 400 experience points, and your Black Tiger Blade Technique has reached Lv.14!]

I spent 800 experience points to level up the Black Tiger Blade Technique to level 14!

At this point, you're only one level away from reaching level 15!

Lu Fan was eager to try it out and looked forward to the new level of improvement that the Black Tiger Blade Technique would bring him after reaching level 15.

As Lu Fan turned off the control panel, he was about to go downstairs to attend the lunch gathering with everyone.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the far end of the street.

—Bang bang bang!

Gunshots?

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to the window of the apartment and looked out of the building.

At the edge of their field of vision, armored vehicles were seen driving towards Jinling University. The vehicles were filled with infantrymen in green uniforms, who were wielding heavy firearms and sweeping away the zombies.

Is this a military rescue force?!

Lu Fan's face lit up with joy; he hadn't expected the rescue to arrive so quickly!
