7: The world will become a purgatory

The Bald Man struck Tian Ming's head with the gun stock, and his blood stained the stock.

In that instant, Tian Ming had already directly replicated the Bald Man's weapon using the steel handrail from the building.

He removed the magazine, and there were only three bullets inside.

That was because the template for replication only had three bullets.

He took out one bullet and began to replicate.

He used the bullets from the replicated item to replicate again.

However, he could only replicate thirty bullets before he was unable to continue.

Within a five-meter radius around him, there was a lack of copper elements needed for the bullet casings.

The copper from the previous three bullets had been extracted from the electrical wires in the building.

That tiny bit of copper was also completely extracted in subsequent replications; with insufficient raw materials, the replication naturally stopped.

Filling the magazine, Tian Ming stood up and walked up the stairwell.

He took down another emergency light and removed the battery from inside.

The plastic casing of the emergency light curled in Tian Ming's hand, forming a lamp tube.

Carbon atoms in the air began to gather, forming fibers, and these fibers slowly took shape, becoming a small strap.

The remaining batteries were wrapped in plastic, and Tian Ming carried them on his back.

......

On the fifth floor of the building, in an empty room.

The Bald Man looked at the two girls in front of him and said fiercely, "You two, take off your clothes!"

"What do you want to do?"

One of the girls showed a look of horror on her face, took a step back, and tightly clutched her collar.

The other girl stood silently in place, her head lowered, her eyes somewhat vacant.

The Bald Man glared at them, a hint of impatience in his tone: "Less nonsense, I told you to take them off, so take them off!"

As soon as the Bald Man finished speaking, both girls began to tremble nervously.

They hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to submit.

They trembled as they took off their coats and pants, leaving only a thin piece of underwear.

The Bald Man stood in front of them, narrowed his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He reached out and patted one of the girls' cheeks, then commanded: "Lie on the ground and crawl over like a dog!"

After the Bald Man finished speaking, he took his gun, walked to the opposite side, and sat on a chair.

He spread his legs, but the muzzle of his gun was pointed at the two girls.

This night was long, and the Bald Man didn't know if he would survive until tomorrow, after all, there were only three bullets in his gun.

Whether he died tomorrow was something to consider tomorrow, but tonight would be enjoyable.

Despair was evident in the eyes of both girls; in this empty room, they had no room to resist.

They could only submissively lie on the ground and crawl towards the Bald Man like dogs.

The Bald Man looked at them triumphantly.

The corners of his mouth turned up, and the smile on his face became increasingly lewd.

Bang!

The door was kicked open by Tian Ming, who held his gun, the muzzle directly aimed at the Bald Man.

"It's you again, ruining my good time!" The Bald Man was furious, gritting his teeth as he looked at Tian Ming, and he quickly raised his weapon, pointing it directly at Tian Ming.

"Let them go, and I can spare your life," Tian Ming said coldly, his eyes full of chill.

"It wasn't easy for me to convince these two girls to follow me, and you say let them go? Who do you think you are? Don't think that just because you picked up a gun, you can challenge me, you little bastard, would a gun with bullets still be waiting for you to pick up?"

Bang!

Tian Ming fired a shot directly, and the two girls screamed in fright, trembling all over as they lay on the ground.

The bullet from this shot almost grazed the Bald Man's scalp, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

It was his first time playing with this, and Tian Ming didn't expect such a large recoil; the bullet went off target.

The Bald Man, having narrowly escaped death, quickly raised his weapon, aimed at Tian Ming, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! ......

The gun barrel exploded directly, and the close-range shockwave stunned the Bald Man.

By the time he reacted, half of his face was covered in blood.

Pain struck, and the Bald Man cried out in agony.

Under the light, his face, distorted by pain, appeared particularly ferocious.

Bang!

Tian Ming fired the second shot, and with a squelch, the bullet went straight through his skull.

A spray of blood burst from the Bald Man's head.

His scream also came to an abrupt halt.

With a thud, his body stiffened and he fell straight to the ground.

Tian Ming was expressionless, remarkably calm; his body suppressed the secretion of hormones that produce negative emotions.

It was precisely because of this that he became remarkably calm.

This spontaneous bodily control, to a certain extent, compensated for Tian Ming's lack of combat power.

After Tian Ming killed the Bald Man, the two girls screamed loudly in fright.

"Stop screaming, he's dead," Tian Ming said.

The two girls froze, too scared to make a sound, but their bodies were still trembling violently.

"Put on your clothes and follow me!" They trembled as they clumsily put on their clothes, while Tian Ming stepped forward to check the Bald Man's backpack.

Water, food, he didn't need any of these things; as long as air existed, he could always obtain food, large amounts of food, which he could directly reassemble and synthesize.

What he needed was ammunition, these strategic reserves for fighting zombies.

The Bald Man's backpack was filled with compressed biscuits and two bottles of mineral water.

This guy was so skilled with a gun; it seemed he wasn't a good person before.

Tian Ming took off the battery from his back and said to one of the girls, "You, come here, you're in charge of this battery, understand?"

The girl carefully took the battery, her face a mixture of fear and confusion, but she still nodded.

Tian Ming said to the other girl, "What did you bring in your bag?"

The girl also quickly picked up her backpack, opened it, and found a bottle of water and a compressed biscuit inside.

Besides that, there was also a wallet and a small makeup compact.

Tian Ming sneered: "It's the Apocalypse, big sister, why are you still keeping a makeup compact, lipstick, and a wallet?"

With order collapsed and the situation so dire, Tian Ming knew that from now on, he could only rely on himself.

The Donghai City Shelter had fallen, so no more rescue would be coming.

Because anyone with a brain could guess that official rescue personnel, like ordinary people, were also being infected with the zombie virus at the same infection rate.

The world to come would be a hell for humans and a paradise for zombies.

"We'll find a room and wait for daybreak.

First, we'll go to the outskirts of the city; there are fewer zombies there.

Understand?"

The fear on the two girls' faces had not yet faded, but they both nodded repeatedly, obeying Tian Ming's arrangements.

The three left the room, searching for a safe Shelter, and from time to time, zombie roars could be heard from the surrounding buildings.

The three walked very slowly, keeping their voices very low, and the roars of the zombies downstairs stirred their nerves.

Finally, they found a relatively safe room.

Tian Ming took out compressed biscuits and mineral water from his backpack and handed them to the two girls: "Replenish your energy first, get some good rest.

Tonight, I will keep watch."

The two girls nodded, took the biscuits, and began to devour them.
