When Zhao Yu spotted the mutated human, it seemed to detect him in some way as well.

“Roar-!”

With a low growl, the creature, resembling a human but moving on all fours like a beast, charged towards him.

Here it comes!

Zhao Yu gripped his spear tightly, his eyes unblinkingly tracking the creature s movement.

“Die!”

When they were about two meters apart, Zhao Yu made his move, using the spear to stab at it from a distance.

“Thud!”

The creature caught off-guard or perhaps not understanding the concept of dodging, lunged directly onto the spear, impaled by its own momentum.

Got it!

Zhao Yu was preparing to pull out the fire poker from his waist to deliver the finishing blow when a shadow suddenly flashed by.

Instinctively, he raised his fist to encounter it, only to be met with immense force collided together.

Zhao Yu tumbled to the side.

In such a situation, there was no time to think. He immediately drew the fire poker from his waist for defense.

At the same time, he finally saw what had attacked him: it was a tail, similar to that of an arthropod, extending from the creature’s rear.

After one strike, the tail seemed to lose its power and slowly retracted, or perhaps it needed to gather strength before being able to lash out again.

Zhao Yu charged at the creature with his fire poker as its tail was about to retract.

“Roar—I”

Sensing a threat, the creature tried to pull out the spear in its chest, but Zhao Yu grabbed the spear and preventing its escape.

“Die-Just die already!”

As the creature swung its claws at Zhao Yu aimed properly and thrusted the fire poker straight into its head.

“Sizzle—1”

Zhao Yu’s shoulder, waist, hands and chest was wounded during the close combat, instantly soaking his clothes with blood.

In contrast, the creature, with a hole pierced through its head, shuddered a few times like a zombie before collapsing.

It wouldn’t be playing dead, would it?!

Without checking his wounds, Zhao Yu quickly removed the fire poker and repeatedly stabbed the creature s head and limbs, creating several more holes before finally sitting down exhausted.

“Panting—1”

Zhao Yu gasped for breath, a hint of joy in his eyes. It was his first direct and victory confrontation with an mutated monster.

Before he could contemplate the battle, the pain from his wound intensified due to the wind, making Zhao Yu wince.

“I hope it’s not poisoned?! ”

Zhao Yu rested a while and struggled to get up, he headed toward the house the creature had been guarding.

He immediately recognized a familiar well cover, the same model as the one in his refuge.

Would the people below open the door?!

Zhao Yu felt a little apprehensive, but given the circumstances, he could only give it a try.

He knocked the well cover while calling out.

“The mutated human has been killed by me. I’m injured. Do you have any alcohol or medical kit?!”

A response finally came from inside.

“Step back a bit! ”

Zhao Yu moved away from the well cover, retreating several meters away.

“Click-!”

The well cover opened, revealing a head and a hand holding a brand-new pistol.

In a short while, two women climbed out of the well.

The elder one looked to be in her thirties, with her clothes somewhat faded from washing, but her noble demeanor was evident. The younger one seemed to be fifteen or sixteen, with a porcelain doll face and innocent, large eyes that curiously gazed at Zhao Yu.

One held a gun, and the other held a toolbox.

Zhao Yu guessed they were probably like him: individuals who hadn’t endured much hardship and had stayed in a shelter since the apocalypse began.

“Drop your weapon, and I’ll let my daughter treat your wound.”

The noblewoman said, raising her gun to emphasize her point.

“I understand. Thank you…”

Zhao Yu casually tossed the fire poker three to four meters away and turned around in a circle to indicate that he didn’t have any other weapons.

The noblewoman allowed her daughter to approach and tend to his wound.

“We should be thanking you for killing the creature outside our door…”

While saying this, the noblewoman still held her gun, watching Zhao Yu with a wary gaze.

It’s the end times, after all. One can never be too cautious. Zhao Yu didn’t mind and casually asked, “Is it just the two of you here?”

The noblewoman and the young girl paused as she applied alcohol to Zhao Yu’s wound.

“My husband used to live here with us, but he hasn’t returned for a week now…’¹

A week was a long time. In these apocalyptic times, he likely met his end outside.

The noblewoman seemed to have come to terms with this reality and began inquiring about Zhao Yu’s situation.

T came from the neighboring Black Water Town…”

“What’s the situation over there?”

“Meng Family’s Village encountered mutated beasts. The head and her people fled to Black Water Town to set up camp. It won’t be long before a new settlement is established…”

“They kicked you out?” The noblewoman asked with a hint of anxiety.

Black Water Town was still not far from their current location. In the

pre-apocalyptic world, it would have taken just about half an hour by car to reach there..
