The next day, there were fewer people in the city, including Bai Yichen's former teammates, Qi Yuanyuan, and Xiao Yi.
Of course Bai Yichen knew nothing about this. Although he was hiding in his house and couldn't go out, he actually had a lot of things to do, the most important of which was exercising.
To put it bluntly, the apocalyptic world is still a world that relies on the body. If you are strong and healthy, you can at least outrun the zombies when they chase you, even if you can't beat them. So a strong body is very important in the apocalyptic world.
At this moment, Bai Yichen had to be thankful that he had a very healthy body in this life. If he was confined to a wheelchair like in the previous life, he would not have to think about anything else and would probably just sit and wait to die.
In this life, Bai Yichen's body not only has slender and strong limbs, but he also has thin muscles as he once loved sports and was a basketball prince. What Bai Yichen has to do now is to prevent those muscles from being wasted away because he is trapped in this house and cannot go out. What's more, it would be even better if he could further strengthen the quality of all aspects of his body.
So Bai Yichen almost never stopped doing push-ups, squats, pull-ups and other exercises that did not require extensive running. After a while, Bai Yichen found that his originally beautifully arranged eight abdominal muscles had become more clearly defined with his unremitting exercise, and he could hardly contain his satisfaction.
Bai Yichen stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and then slowly loosened it. This feeling of power made him firmly believe that he would have no problem dealing with the zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse.
However, no matter how eager he was to try, Bai Yichen's reason made him calm down. No matter what, he could not go out before a month was up. In this way, even if something unexpected happened later, he would only get a smaller reward, but would not be punished.
After reminding himself once again, Bai Yichen went to the balcony to get some fresh air. In fact, since the power outage, the balcony has been the place where he spends most of his time besides exercising. Because even though the house has good lighting, after there is no light at all and the direct sunlight is over, it will inevitably feel a little dim. At that time, if he wants a clear view, he has to come to the balcony.
Bai Yichen stood on the balcony and looked down. His house was on the seventh floor, which was not too high, but it was very safe on the balcony and he didn't need to worry about zombies. He had also stood on this balcony before, watching the residents of this residential area fleeing with their families. However, except for the beginning of the apocalypse, he rarely saw people. In the past week, he didn't see anyone, and could only see one or two zombies wandering downstairs from time to time.
Just as Bai Yichen was lost in thought about these things, a man stumbling towards him appeared in his sight. Bai Yichen couldn't help but be surprised. He thought, he hadn't seen anyone for a week, and now he saw one
The fleeing man appeared to be in great disarray and looked a little thin. Behind him, two blood-stained zombies were chasing him relentlessly. The scene looked a little thrilling, but it was obvious that although the man was stumbling and looked exhausted, he was not panicked to the point of losing his mind. He often stopped to catch his breath when he was far enough away from the zombies, and would often use things around him to create obstacles for the zombies behind him.
Bai Yichen was watching intently when his face suddenly changed because he found that the man was running towards his building. It was nothing for him to run here, but the key point was that from the position of Bai Yichen, he could see two zombies lurking downstairs. From the direction that the man was running from, he guessed that he should not be able to see them. If the man ran over without any preparation, seeing that he was about to run out of energy, and ran straight into the encirclement of zombies, it would be difficult for him to run away again.
Bai Yichen immediately searched the balcony and finally locked onto a large potted plant. He picked up the pot, aimed at the direction of the zombies downstairs, and threw the pot down with force.
"Bang!" The porcelain flowerpot fell from a high place and broke into pieces, making a loud noise.
The flowerpot thrown by Bai Yichen failed to hit the zombies accurately, but the violent noise that sounded beside him still made the two zombies who were originally standing there in a daze become agitated. They roared and wandered back and forth, trying to find the person who dared to provoke them.
The loud noise of the flowerpot falling, coupled with the roar of the zombies in front of him, made the man who was running forward desperately change his face. He turned around and changed direction. However, while changing direction in a hurry, the man did not forget to look up at the building with gratitude.
For a moment, Bai Yichen seemed to have made eye contact with the other party, and then Bai Yichen shook his head. How could it be possible in such a short time? In just that one glance, it was good enough that the other party could see him on the balcony of this building.
After that, Bai Yichen never saw the man again and put the matter behind him. After all, he was not a saint, and in this doomsday where people's hearts were unpredictable, he didn't mind doing something as simple as the one he just did, which might save someone's life. But if he really had to go downstairs and take the risk to save the other person, he might consider it if it was a full month. But now, he should first make sure he survives this month safely.
In this way, Bai Yichen continued his daily exercise plan upstairs. When he was free, he stayed on the balcony and observed the zombies he saw, thinking about how he could deal with them more safely if he encountered them.
Just like that, a month was finally up. When Bai Yichen heard the electronic sound that suddenly rang in his mind, "Ding, you have completed the guaranteed survival mission in this world. You will be awarded bonus points for the next survival time. For every extra month you survive, you will be awarded one bonus point. The bonus points can be used in future worlds."
Bonus points
Although Bai Yichen didn't know what the specific use of this thing he had never heard of was, this was the first time he encountered such a special situation after traveling through several worlds. Bai Yichen was sure that it must be useful to him, and useful things, naturally, the more the better.
For a moment, Bai Yichen even thought about continuing to stay here. The supplies he purchased were enough for him to eat for a year. Now a month had passed, and the remaining supplies should be enough to last him for eleven months. In this way, except for the guaranteed survival mission in the first month, he would almost certainly get the reward points for the remaining eleven months.
However, after being eager to try for a while, Bai Yichen gave up the idea. How could he be so cowardly? Although it was good to survive, he couldn't just survive blindly. Now was the beginning of the apocalypse. Those zombies looked scary, but they were actually at their weakest. A healthy adult could still defeat one or two zombies if he didn't panic too much and had the right tools. If he didn't practice his courage while the zombies were still relatively weak, then as the apocalypse progressed and the zombies began to mutate and become more powerful, he would really just be a food delivery man.
Bai Yichen knew that the food he had stored was limited, and that the food also had a shelf life, so if he wanted to live longer, the only way was to go out.
Of course, it would be useless for an ordinary person to walk out. Even if a survivor base is established in the future, the life safety of ordinary people will not be guaranteed. The only way to live like a human being in this doomsday is to become a superpower.
Although Bai Yichen didn't know whether he would become a person with special powers, from the information he received, most of those who awakened special powers were physically strong adults. Among those who awakened special powers, subsequent research found that many of them had fought zombies alone at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Bai Yichen felt that he met the requirement of being a strong adult, and facing zombies directly might be related to the chance of awakening superpowers, so he should give it a try. After all, he stood on the balcony and observed the surroundings every day when he had nothing to do. He was familiar with the zombies around him, and he could pick the right time to fight one or two zombies. With adequate protection, there should be no problem. Moreover, if he couldn't win, he could still run. The thin man he saw today ran out of breath, and the two zombies couldn't catch up with him. It shouldn't be a problem for him to escape.
After all, the zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse were really easy to deal with. The reason why many people were bitten by zombies was entirely because they were unprepared and panicked. If an adult was given a weapon and focused on dealing with a zombie, then the balance of victory would definitely be on the human side. However, after the zombies mutated, there would no longer be such an opportunity. If he didn't practice now and adapt to that kind of situation in advance, even if he awakened his superpowers in the future, facing those more powerful zombies, he might stumble if he was distracted. If that were the case, it would be too unfair.
Thinking of this, Bai Yichen immediately took action. Although he knew that he might not awaken his superpowers, it has always been his habit to be prepared. He should try his best to do things that may increase his chances. Moreover, after so many days of observation, he has a deep understanding of the movement speed and attack routines of the zombies downstairs. He believes that ensuring his own safety will not be a problem.
Just like that, the next day, Bai Yichen observed on the balcony for a long time. He saw a lone zombie wandering alone downstairs, and when the other zombies were far enough away, he went downstairs fully armed.
After Bai Yichen went downstairs, he first observed the surroundings and confirmed that the positions of all the zombies were the same as what he saw before going downstairs. Only then did he feel relieved. Bai Yichen did not dare to drag out the battle for too long, fearing that it would attract other zombies, so he prepared to fight quickly.
The process of dealing with the zombies went smoothly. Bai Yichen was holding a homemade "long weapon" and was aware of the zombies' attack speed and range. When attacking the zombies, he kept reminding himself not to hesitate, as they were no longer human. So everything went as he had imagined thousands of times in advance. The zombie was stabbed in the eye socket by his long stick and died completely.
But after dealing with the zombie, Bai Yichen still felt a churning discomfort in his stomach as he looked at the zombie that would never move again. In addition, the zombie had been dead for a long time, its body was highly decayed, and it smelled terrible, which deepened his feeling.
Bai Yichen took a last close look at the zombie, and without further delay, he dragged his weapon and went straight back upstairs.
After that, Bai Yichen stayed at home for a day to relax, and then went out again with a stick to look for zombies. After the experience of the first day, he was much calmer when facing zombies. However, when Bai Yichen felt that he had gradually adapted to dealing with these zombies, one day when he was concentrating on solving a zombie, he suddenly heard a weak and anxious "Be careful!" from behind.
Bai Yichen turned around alertly, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that a zombie with only half of its body left, which could only crawl on the ground, had crawled behind him at some point, and was just about to grab his ankle. Bai Yichen immediately jumped back a big step, and the rest of the things were much simpler. The zombie that could only crawl actually moved slowly and had limited attack power. It only had the advantage of appearing silently and unexpectedly. After discovering it, Bai Yichen first distanced himself and dealt with the one that was fighting with him, and then turned around and sent the one on the ground to the west, and everything was completely resolved.
At this time, Bai Yichen had the energy to study where this zombie came from. Judging from the blood on the ground, this zombie actually crawled out from the green belt. No wonder he didn't notice it at first. It seems that no matter what time in the future, we can't take it lightly.
After figuring out the origin of this zombie, Bai Yichen suddenly thought of something. He immediately looked in the direction of the person who had just reminded him. Then he saw a familiar thin figure. Bai Yichen almost immediately remembered that this was the one he had saved by smashing the flowerpot some time ago.
However, before Bai Yichen had the chance to greet the other party, he saw the weak man leaning against the wall, somewhat shaky, fainting in his sight.
The expression on Bai Yichen's face just froze there.
