The range of six meters in diameter might sound small, but in reality, it’s quite substantial. Especially in an indoor setting with walls, the shockwave hit directly against them.
Thankfully, they were reinforced concrete walls. If it had been ordinary brick, they probably would have collapsed…
“Next time, I’ll have to be a bit more careful with the force of the attack…”
Wang Tao glanced at the iron cage, where the two survivors inside had their eyes widened, seemingly still in disbelief at everything that had just transpired.
Wang Tao paid them no mind and turned to the next area instead.
Other people hurried over to unlock the cage and find out the conditions of the two survivors.
The Slave District was located further inside and spanned a vast area, surrounded by iron fences.
Approaching closer, it was clear that there were many zombies inside, as well as survivors. However, the survivors had been locked inside dog cages, which had inadvertently protected them from the zombie attacks.
“Heh heh…”
Upon noticing the newcomers, the zombies immediately began to roar, wanting to come out.
But the doors of these iron fences in the Slave District opened inwards, and the zombies didn’t know how to pull, so after entering they got stuck at the entrance and couldn’t get out.
This was an excellent opportunity to kill zombies. Wang Tao didn’t lift a finger himself, but gave the chance to the soldiers, letting them hack the zombies to death through the iron fences with knives and firefighter axes, as it could increase their HP limit.
Wang Tao reached the last area with zombies, which also contained Elite Zombies—the Dog Training Area.
The ‘training’ referred to here was obviously not in the literal sense, but rather this area was filled with female slaves that Shao Yong had collected.
The four Female Hunters who had been previously captured were inside this place.
The door was left half open, and Gao Hua informed Wang Tao that when he left, there should have been more than a dozen people inside, likely all turned into zombies by now. It was unclear how many remained.
After confirming with Han Rui that there were no zombies behind the door, Wang Tao opened it.
Suddenly, an even more foul stench wafted out.
Even wearing a mask, Wang Tao couldn’t help but frown at the smell.
This area was particularly well-lit, as if all the electricity from the generator was being supplied here.
Under the bright light, naked women were positioned and fixed in various poses. Some were cruciform, inverted, and locked to the wall; some sat on chairs full of spikes; some had wires inserted into their bodies; some were pregnant, tied to beds…
Without exception, they were all dead. Either they were devoured, or they had turned into zombies.
The floor, the walls, and even the ceiling were covered with a mixture of blood and all sorts of disordered fluids.
At the entrance, there was a display case with human tissues inside, arranged like specimens.

Even Wang Tao was losing HP at the sight of this scene.
But he didn’t have time to be disgusted because, in the farthest part of the room, there were four Elite Zombies.
They were wearing relatively decent clothes on their upper bodies but were naked below. Upon seeing Wang Tao, their cataract-veiled eyes stared, and their faces twisted in distortion as they rushed toward him.
“Huff—”
Wang Tao let out a deep breath, needing to vent.
Then, he activated his Precise Shooting Ability.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to become more vibrant.
Wang Tao pulled out two firefighter axes from behind his back and hurled
them straight at the first zombie that ran at him.
Squelch!
The first axe struck the zombie’s head with precision, sinking deep into it.
[-2300]
[0/2300]
Thud!
The zombie fell to the ground.
Wang Tao didn’t even know what ability it had.
Whoosh—
Wang Tao threw his second axe at another zombie with a big belly.
Splat!
[-1500 HP]
[0/1500 HP]
It was still an instant kill.
However, this zombie spat a mouthful of sticky fluid at Wang Tao just before dying, but its attack was too close and didn’t even touch the hem of Wang Tao’s clothes.
Wang Tao took out the two firefighter axes hanging at his waist again.
Whoosh—
He threw them at two other zombies.
Without activating his precise shooting ability, he could at most aim and throw an axe at one zombie, and even then, he might not hit the target.
But after activating his ability, within a certain range, he could aim at two objects in the same direction simultaneously, and with high precision.
Splat!
The third firefighter axe hit a zombie square in the eye, embedding itself in its head.
[-1800 HP]
[0/1800 HP]
As for the fourth zombie, Wang Tao’s last axe hit it in the forehead, but the damage was not significant.
[-234 HP]
[1766/2000 HP]
Seeing the opponent’s stiff body and black skin, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
“Toughness…”
This was clearly a side effect of the Toughness Crystal Core.
“Hehe…”
The zombie charged at Wang Tao with bared teeth and flailing claws, but its speed was so slow it was almost comical.
Wang Tao took out his last axe and walked directly toward this zombie.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The axe chopping on its head really felt like a sledgehammer.
However, its toughness was obviously not as good as the Toughness zombie
Wang Tao had encountered before. After five consecutive axe blows, the zombie’s skull could no longer endure, and it burst open.
Whew—
Having killed four elite zombies in a row, Wang Tao exhaled deeply and quickly gathered the spoils before ending the “precision shooting” state—he had just discovered that the precision shooting state also enhanced close combat! It allowed him to land all six axes on the same spot, making each blow inflict more damage than the last. If it had been before, he would’ve had to swing seven or eight more times.
From the moment Wang Tao entered the door to when he killed the four elite zombies, it might seem like a long time, but in reality, it was less than a minute.
Han Rui and Wei Zhenguo had been ready to provide support this whole time but were afraid of getting in the way. When they saw Wang Tao swiftly handle the situation, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only because Wang Tao saw that these zombies’ HP was not high that he wanted to try killing them alone. If any zombie had over three thousand HP, he would have called everyone to attack together. Zombies, like humans, gain a lot of combat strength with every thousand HP, and the difference between two thousand and three thousand HP is not small.
The others entered, surveying the surroundings; when they saw several dead elite zombies, some of which had been whittled down to sticks or even fashioned into “chairs,” they felt both disgusted and sad since these were people from their base..
