After more than an hour, Zhang Yanhang emotionlessly grabbed a zombie pretending to be dead next to the refrigerator, then used the refrigerator door to directly crush its head, spreading decaying blood, shattered skull fragments, and chunky brain tissue all over the interior space of the refrigerator.

Casually tossing the headless corpse of the zombie aside, Zhang Yanhang intended to leave, but he suddenly noticed a faint glow inside the refrigerator—it obviously wasn't that the fridge had suddenly turned on, but rather that the zombie had happened to drop a treasure box.
After stuffing the treasure box into his now bulging shoulder bag, Zhang Yanhang headed towards the last room on the sixth floor. Indeed, he had now cleared up to the top floor. Put simply, the whole process had unexpectedly progressed very quickly.
The reason mainly stemmed from when Zhang Yanhang had descended to the first floor and suddenly discovered a small supermarket next to the apartment. There, Zhang Yanhang picked up two cases of mineral water (48 bottles) and a large pile of well-preserved canned food.
Thanks to this find, Zhang Yanhang had even taken the time to resize his carrying bag on the spot, making it bigger because the original size couldn't carry all these items.
Perhaps you might wonder why just this kind of discovery could lead to Zhang Yanhang speeding up his zombie killing?
The answer is simple because Zhang Yanhang initially thought of searching each room after killing a zombie to find supplies and such, but now with an ample supply of food and water, the leftovers like firearms and bullets were really difficult to find in the zombies' rooms.
When Zhang Yanhang first cleared the lower three floors, he searched each room after killing a zombie there. However, among twelve zombies, not a single zombie's room had firearms or bullets. This made Zhang Yanhang seriously doubt whether the statistical data that claims every hundred Americans owned one hundred and twenty guns was true at all.
What happened to the 'Free America, gunshot every day'? What about 'born free, die random'? And the 'three hundred million people's gunfight, three hundred million people's dream'?
Zhang Yanhang was truly disappointed with the United States in this Ashen World; it completely lacked the symbol and essence of America's true spirit of freedom.
So, in summary, because the zombies' rooms currently had no value worth searching for Zhang Yanhang, after abandoning that step, his focus on hunting zombies made the efficiency of gaining soul points increase significantly.
Well, mainly, it meant killing zombies faster, so the efficiency of gaining soul points also went up.
Now, Zhang Yanhang's zombie hunting involved basically four steps. The first step was to walk to the door of the room where the zombie was. The second step was to kick the door open directly.
The third step was quite random and mainly depended on Zhang Yanhang's mood—if he was in a bad mood, he would go in swinging a chopper wildly; if in a good mood, he would directly use the Beretta 92F pistol to shoot the zombie's head.
The final step was to stand on the spot for a few seconds to see if the zombie he just killed would drop a treasure box.
Afterwards, it was just repeating these four steps continuously, with anything else being at most occasionally taking out the Enemy Seeking Radar to check if there were any changes in the positions of the zombies.
Incidentally, Zhang Yanhang later encountered several new Police Zombies and found a good number of bullets and firearms in their bodies and rooms, including a Beretta 92F pistol, a Remington M870 shotgun, and an electric shock gun.
So, Zhang Yanhang could now dual-wield Beretta 92F pistols, but he felt it wasn't necessary; he still found it more convenient to hold a chopper in his other hand.
Besides these three firearms, Zhang Yanhang also found over a hundred 9mm bullets and about forty to fifty 12-gauge shotgun shells.
It was precisely because he had adopted these four highly efficient steps and repeated them cyclically that Zhang Yanhang had almost completely cleared the entire apartment building in just over an hour.
Therefore, the lower three floors, which had fewer zombies, took the most time because Zhang Yanhang used to take a few extra minutes to search each room after clearing a zombie.
Now, Zhang Yanhang was going to clear the last room on the sixth floor, room 608, which was the room he mentioned before that cramped eight zombies.
Standing in front of apartment 608, Zhang Yanhang knocked on the door several times, wanting to know if he had misheard earlier. When he was killing zombies on this floor earlier, he could always faintly hear the sound of dogs barking, but, having cleared the entire sixth floor, he hadn't found any. Now, he suspected that there were Zombie Dogs inside apartment 608, which was his first encounter with Zombie Dogs.
After Zhang Yanhang finished knocking, a flurry of barks and faint zombie groans immediately came from behind the door.
Although it was confirmed that there were indeed Zombie Dogs inside, it didn't matter to Zhang Yanhang, as long as they were not Lickers.
As usual, Zhang Yanhang kicked open the security door, and then, he suddenly froze because...

[Successfully killed First Tier Zero Star Monster 'Teacup Yorkshire Terrier Zombie (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +1.]
"Ah, Teacup dogs?" Zhang Yanhang had always imagined Zombie Dogs as those black Doberman dogs, but he hadn't expected that Teacup dogs could also turn into zombies.
While Zhang Yanhang was still stunned, a dark shadow leapt high towards his throat, and then, Zhang Yanhang was actually bitten.
However, although he was bitten, Zhang Yanhang even had the leisure to check the attribute list of the Zombie Dog hanging on his neck.
Despite the really foul smell emanating from the Zombie Dog and the fact that the saliva and bloodstained teeth were exceptionally disgusting compared to ordinary zombies, Zhang Yanhang still forcibly endured it, because if he had killed it right away, he wouldn't be able to see the attribute list.
