Delmor hurriedly pointed a flashlight at the door, where a rather large hound had just rushed inside the store, however, it had turned into a zombie.
That's right, it was some kind of animal zombie.
Delmor was afraid to hold the baseball bat in his hand, and he felt extremely worried in his heart.
The dog's body was covered in countless wounds, especially bites, with blood drenching it.
Its eyes were white, however, it still growled, baring fangs so sharp that it gave Delmor goosebumps.
He gently stood up, trying not to make any noise because he was afraid the dog would hear it.
Delmor knew the dog couldn't see, so he held the flashlight in one hand and the baseball bat in the other, as he gently walked in another direction.
That was towards the exit at the back of the store. By just getting out of the store, he could run away more easily.
Crack!
Delmor was startled, because it was so dark around him he didn't notice the broken glass at his feet.
The sound echoed in the quiet space, and the dog immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
"GRAO!"
BAM!
It howled, then dashed towards the source of the sound in a frenzy. Delmor also ran away in fear.
Fortunately, the store had many shelves, and the dog could not see anything, it just moved in the direction of the sound, so it kept bumping into the shelves.
At this point, Delmor took a can of water and threw it into the distance.
Keng!
Keng!
Keng!
The water can hit the wall in the distance, then fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The dog heard a noise coming from behind, immediately turned its head and ran towards the sound.
Delmor also took advantage of this moment to run quickly out of the store, then rushed towards the car.
As soon as he got inside the car, he locked the door and started the engine.
BAM!
"Ah!!!"
The glass window on the side of the driver's seat was suddenly violently broken, and a dog's paw with sharp claws was reaching inside.
Delmor shouted in surprise and fear. He was really scared, his heart felt like it just jumped out of his chest.
He quickly stepped on the gas pedal, then drove away.
However, with the dog still clinging to the window, Delmor managed to drive closer to a nearby power pole, pressing the car against it.
Kit! Kit! Kit!
The harsh sound of steel clashing sounded, the dog that was clinging to the outside of the car door was forced out by the electric pole.
Delmor did not dare to stop, as he immediately drove away from the place.
The sound just now was too loud, surely countless zombies would come, so he didn't dare to stop.
He drove for more than 5 kilometers. In the thick of the night, the street lights did not work. Without any light source, the light source from the two car headlights was extremely dazzling.
Delmor leaned back in his chair, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but swear, " I didn't think that I would encounter a dog zombie on my search for food."
Yes, he felt that he was too unlucky, no matter what he did, he did not succeed.
He thought that after possessing 'The Apocalypse Encyclopedia', he could easily survive in the apocalypse.
But everything was just his dream. As difficulties kept coming, making him want to give up sometimes.
Suddenly, a thought popped into his head.
'I can… serve Hikaru.'
'Yes, I own 'The Apocalypse Encyclopedia', Hikaru definitely needs equipment to survive in the apocalypse.'
'If I work for him, maybe he'll give me food and a safe place to live.'
'No!'
As soon as that thought appeared, Delmor immediately shook his head, he felt strange, why would he think like that?
'No OK! There are still many people waiting for me. What would those people do without me?'
Delmor took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He turned off the car engine then checked his body with a flashlight. When he did not find any injuries, he felt a little happy.
'Luckily I didn't get hurt, or else…'
'Strange… why does Hikaru have a potion that helps stop the Zombie virus?'
'Could it be… he already has the recipe for a vaccine that prevents the zombie virus?'
The more Delmor thought about it, the more he felt that Hikaru was terrifying. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to fight with Hikaru, but he would have to become Hikaru's ally.
At least, when he was injured by a zombie, Hikaru could help him.
Delmor took a deep breath, then drove back.
Traveling a distance of more than 7 kilometers, Delmor's mind was always in a state of extreme tension.
He thought that there were only humanoid zombies, and since they can't see, he could run away easily.
However, he was wrong. Zombies could also be animals, especially dogs. Yes, a lot of people keep dogs as pets.
The number of dogs that people keep was a lot, plus the number of stray dogs is a huge number.
If… all of them turned into Zombies, it would be like a nightmare.
Delmor drove to a place about 200 meters from the villa, then got out of the car and walked.
Delmor knew the sound of the engine was very loud, if he drove too close to the shelter, the zombies would surely find their shelter.
He reached the front door of the mansion, knocked on the door twice, two seconds later, he knocked twice more.
At this moment, the door was ajar, Akiko pointed a flashlight directly at Delmor's face, seeing him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come in!" Akiko spoke softly as if afraid someone would hear their voices.
Delmor entered, everywhere was dark. Akiko, who was walking beside him, explained, "I was afraid that the lights would attract bad people, so I ordered them to turn off all the lights."
"There are 7 men and 13 women inside. Including me, you and Rina make 23 people. Everyone will take turns guarding."
Delmor listened to Akiko and nodded, "Thank you, it's thanks to you that this place can be arranged so neatly."
Akiko shook her head: "No, you're much better than me. We can only do these things. You have to go out to find food, face countless zombies, you are the brave one."
When Akiko mentioned food, Delmor shyly bowed his head and said, "Sorry, this time out, I..."
Akiko smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry. It's hard to find food right now, it's great that you can return like this."
"We still have some food left to use in the next three days if we use it sparingly."
Although Akiko comforted him a lot, Delmor only nodded slightly, not wanting to say how much danger he was in while trying to gather supplies.
If he said it, maybe Akiko would continue to comfort him, but he felt that saying it would only make people see his weakness and worthlessness.
That's why Delmor decided to keep quiet.
"Um… perhaps the survivors have started trying to stock up on supplies and food. Tomorrow we will go a little further, hoping to find more food."
"Ah! Where's Rina?"
Hearing that, Akiko looked towards the third floor window of the mansion. Delmor followed her gaze, saw the flickering candlelight from the window, and frowned.
"Delmor, she…"
"Hm?! What 's up?"
Akiko sighed, "It's not a big deal, but the dog she brought with her barked constantly. I can only leave her on the top floor to avoid affecting others."
"Aren't people complaining?" Delmor asked.
Akiko replied, "Of course they are. However, those people were all saved by you anyway, they didn't dare to say much. But I know they feel very uncomfortable."
"Delmor, I think you should deal with this. You also know, the current world doesn't have any rules anymore, if they lose control, I'm afraid…"
Delmor nodded slightly hearing that, feeling a bit tired.
"Besides… if you can, find as many cold-resistant items as you can. The weather is getting colder, maybe it will continue to get colder…"
Delmor looked up at the sky, there was only blackness. From time to time there was a flash of light like lightning that would brighten the cloud that covered the sky.
He nodded and said, "I'll keep that in mind. Tomorrow, let's split into groups to start gathering supplies."
"Um… don't worry, I'll take care of that."
"Thank you, if Hikaru or Laylah were here, maybe things would be better."
Akiko was a little surprised to hear that, she asked: "Laylah, she is very good and very smart. But… What can Hikaru do?"
Delmor shook his head and said, "You don't know him well, I feel like… he's the one who knows how to survive in the apocalypse better than anyone."
Hearing Delmor's words, Akiko could only bow her head. Every mistake seems to come from her.
Akiko of course also saw Hikaru's tremendous power.
The monster that many policemen couldn't defeat even with a gun was easily killed by Hikaru.
The most important thing was… Laylah was with Hikaru. Yes, right now, staying with Hikaru was the smartest decision.
He has food reserves and has the power to kill zombies.
Delmor sighed and shook his head: "Okay, don't think too much, I need Rina."
Akiko nodded, seeing Delmor leave, she sat on the ground again, looking up at the dark sky.
It had been two days, she hadn't showered. She couldn't even eat enough.
Even going to the toilet, there was no water or paper to use.
In the apocalypse, it seems that the things that were so ordinary before have now become extremely luxurious things.
She hugged her knees, muttering: "Laylah, how are you living now?"
…
Delmor took a flashlight and went inside. Because this villa was quite large, there was still enough room for 20 people to stay.
Everyone saw the light and rushed out of the room, surrounding him.
"Delmor, is there more food?"
"Fast! I'm so hungry!"
"Do you have a blanket? It's cold and dirty in here."
"Delmor, please, give me some food, I'm really not full."
"You eat more than I do, and you're still not full."
"Sorry, but I still feel like eating."
"You pig! You are really a pig!"
Delmor heard everyone's voices pounding against his eardrums, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Delmor felt that saving these people was the wrong decision.
