After barely eating to 60% fullness, Mu Bei continued on the path of harvesting World Power.
Step One, save the time spent breaking door locks, Mu Bei could now kick the door open with one big flying kick;
Step Two, if there were Zombies in the room, one hit for one, two hits for two;
Step Three, search the room thoroughly, mainly looking for anything edible, while searching, add some points.
Following the above process, Mu Bei would initially spend about 30 seconds exploring one apartment.
His increasingly powerful physical Constitution made Mu Bei's efficiency higher:
Extremely high Strength and Agility allowed Mu Bei to shorten the combined time spent on Steps 1 and 2 to within 10 seconds;
Extremely high Intelligence attribute gave Mu Bei faster thinking speed, allowing him to shorten the searching time by more than half while ensuring the quality of the search;
Extremely high Constitution not only made Mu Bei immune to the Zombie virus but also significantly improved his physical stamina. After searching all the rooms on one floor in one go, Mu Bei didn't even pant.
Two hours later, Mu Bei's footsteps echoed in the dim stairwell, having killed almost all the Zombies in the building, he finally arrived at the first floor of the apartment building.
It was already evening, the dim yellow emergency lights flickered, barely illuminating the space, but making the entire first floor even more eerie and terrifying.
The paint on the walls peeled off, revealing the cement beneath, which was covered in dried bloodstains, as if silently accusing the tragedy that had once occurred here.
In the corner of the wall, some plants grew wildly without being tended to, their vines climbed on the walls, bringing a hint of life to this dead silent space.
On the ground were dried bloodstains, rotting flesh fragments, and foul-smelling corpses.
Under the dim light, Mu Bei saw a very tall and strong figure.
When Mu Bei discovered the tall and strong figure, the latter also discovered him almost at the same time.
"Roar!" That figure let out a heavy roar.
A straight-line distance of about 10m was instantaneous for the tall and strong figure.
Mu Bei saw clearly, this was a tall and strong Zombie.
This Zombie's body was exceptionally strong, estimated to be about 2m tall, muscles bulged high under its tattered clothes, veins popped out, like a twisted sculpture.
Its skin presented a sickly grey color, covered in dark red veins, as if what flowed within its body was no longer blood, but deadly toxins.
Its mouth was slightly ajar, revealing sharp teeth inside, which were still stained with fresh blood, evidently the remnants of its most recent hunt.
Its fingernails were long and sharp, like a beast's claws, black grime accumulated in the gaps of its nails, looking both dangerous and disgusting.

...
Is this all for an Elite-level unit?
Mu Bei backflipped, dodging the Tank Zombie's pounce.
Seizing the Tank Zombie's recovery after its old strength was depleted and new strength hadn't formed, Mu Bei decisively charged forward.
If the Agility attribute is too much lower than the Strength attribute, it will lead to being unable to effectively control one's own strength, and after a full-power strike, there will often be a fatal recovery period.
Mu Bei's baseball bat drew an arc in the air with the sound of breaking wind, striking the Tank Zombie's head at astonishing speed.
Following that was a dull 'dong' sound, and a heart-stopping 'crack'.
However, what made the 'crack' sound wasn't the Zombie's skull, but the baseball bat in Mu Bei's hand.
The baseball bat broke about 1-2cm above the grip, a small cluster of wood fibers barely connecting it, the body of the bat hung down limply.
The baseball bat that had accompanied Mu Bei in killing hundreds of Zombies gloriously retired.
As for the Tank Zombie that received the bat's 'life-sacrificing' strike, it was directly knocked down onto the ground, its heavy body kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Mu Bei didn't hesitate, he forcefully tore off the body of the bat and threw it aside, leaving only the bat grip in his hand, the upper end of the grip was a sharp wooden splinter; At the same time, he took out the ornate small knife from his storage space.
"Roar!!!" The Tank Zombie let out an angry roar and immediately got up.
Clearly, Mu Bei's previous attack had completely enraged it.
The moment the Tank got up, Mu Bei moved, he aimed the bat grip and the small knife respectively at the Zombie's left and right eyes, and then forcefully stabbed.
"Roar!" The Tank Zombie immediately let out a miserable scream.
It wasn't over yet, Mu Bei turned his hands into palms and forcefully struck the ends of the bat grip and the small knife.
One third of the bat grip directly sank into the Tank Zombie's head, while the small knife was completely embedded.
Mu Bei followed the momentum with his left hand and violently twisted the bat grip, scrambling the Tank Zombie's brain, causing it, which had just gotten up, to fall to the ground again.
After the Tank Zombie's body twitched for a while, it completely stopped moving.
【Contractor killed Level 4 Zombie Tank (Elite unit), gained 1.2 ounces of world source.】
【Heaven Forsaker talent triggered, gained 2.65 ounces of World Power.】
Just as Mu Bei cracked open the Tank Zombie's head to take out the virus crystal inside, a blue light flashed on the Tank Zombie's corpse, catching his attention.
A moment later, the blue light condensed into a blue box.
Mu Bei walked forward and picked up the box.
【Contractor obtained Treasure Chest (Blue)】
【Killing Elite-level, Lord-level, and Overlord-level units is guaranteed to drop a Treasure Chest.】
【Treasure Chest qualities from low to high are White, Green, Blue, Purple...】
I haven't even seen White or Green quality Treasure Chests, and the first one I got was directly Blue.
That's really strange...
Wait!
Mu Bei now understood:
"I just killed hundreds of Level 1 and 2 Zombies, so how come not even a single White Treasure Chest dropped?!"
