"Having night vision is really great," Clarissa remarked.
"How do you plan to thank me?" Sylas asked, hugging Clarissa with a smile.
Blushing, Clarissa turned and offered a kiss.
Sylas was very pleased with her initiative.
"Let's get some rest. Given the situation, there isn't much else to do at night," Sylas said softly.
"Okay."
Since the outside was filled with zombies, making too much noise inside could easily attract them.
They didn't even dare to turn on the lights at night.
So, any other activities were naturally canceled.
Clarissa blushed and nodded.
Under the circumstances, they wouldn't sleep separately.
In case of any danger, Clarissa wouldn't have time to react.
So, Sylas insisted they sleep in the same bed.
However, he promised not to touch Clarissa without her consent.
Touching was off-limits, but he didn't say anything about other intimate gestures.
Hugging and kissing were certainly allowed.
That night, Sylas slept very comfortably.
After all, he was well-fed, well-rested, and had a beautiful woman by his side. Of course, he slept well.
Sylas was comfortable, but other survivors were still struggling in dire conditions.
But Sylas couldn't worry about them; managing his own situation was challenging enough.
In the morning, Sylas woke up.
Clarissa was still fast asleep beside him, snoring lightly and looking very cute.
Sylas kissed her on the cheek, then carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake her.
He glanced out the window.
The neighborhood outside had returned to its usual quiet, with zombies nowhere in sight.
Although there were still some zombies wandering around, it was nothing like the swarming hordes at night.
During the day, the number of zombies in the neighborhood was reduced by two-thirds compared to the night.
It was evident that most zombies didn't like walking in the sunlight and preferred hiding in the shadows.
This was a typical zombie behavior.
Sylas opened the system interface and saw that the daily task had refreshed.
Daily tasks refreshed once every day.
Completing daily tasks was Sylas's most reliable way to earn rewards.
After all, a new task appeared every day.
Daily Task: "Kill one hundred zombies. Reward: an unlimited ammo Desert Eagle pistol."
Sylas's breath caught.
He hadn't expected such a great reward today.
The reward was an unlimited ammo Desert Eagle.
The Desert Eagle is a type of pistol known for its large caliber and immense power.
The key point was that this Desert Eagle had unlimited ammo, meaning Sylas could use it freely. This was incredible.
With this Desert Eagle, Sylas's combat effectiveness would increase dramatically, significantly enhancing his safety.
As for the task itself, Sylas didn't find it difficult.
All he needed to do was kill one hundred zombies.
With the Zombie Aura, he could avoid zombie attacks, making it easy to kill zombies.
Sylas checked the time and decided it was time to wake up Clarissa. After they both got ready for the day, Clarissa prepared a simple breakfast.
They each had a bowl of noodles for breakfast.
After breakfast, Sylas reminded Clarissa to be careful while he was out, and then he left the house.
Sylas had a plan for completing the task.
Killing zombies wasn't hard; the challenge was safely completing the task of killing one hundred zombies.
The Zombie Aura could only protect Sylas as long as he didn't take any action.
However, once Sylas attacked a zombie, it would go berserk and retaliate.
Therefore, Sylas couldn't make a move in a horde of zombies.
It was best to target isolated zombies.
Sylas decided to focus on the zombies inside the buildings.
There were fewer zombies in the buildings, and they were generally isolated, making them easier to handle.
He first headed to the floor where he originally lived.
Familiar with his own home, he wanted to clear out the zombies in his building.
Upon returning to his building, Sylas found the lobby on the first floor too crowded with zombies, making it inconvenient to attack.
So, he went up the stairs to the second floor.
In the hallway on the second floor, two zombies were wandering aimlessly. Sylas's appearance immediately drew their attention.
However, when the two zombies noticed Sylas, they realized he seemed to be one of them and reluctantly gave up on attacking.
To the zombies, Sylas also appeared as a zombie.
This was why they didn't attack him.
A fire axe appeared in Sylas's hand.
He walked up behind one of the zombies and swung the axe at its neck.
With his great strength and the sharpness of the axe, he decapitated the zombie with a single blow.
The headless zombie quickly lost its ability to move.
The other zombie instantly turned around, glaring ferociously at Sylas, but hesitated and didn't attack, only showing a menacing expression.
Without hesitation, Sylas raised the axe and struck again.
The axe cleaved into the zombie's forehead, splitting its head open.
Brain matter spilled out.
A single blow, and it was dead.
Hearing the commotion, another zombie quickly ran over.
Sylas stood still.
He wanted to test the effectiveness of the Zombie Aura in action.
The approaching zombie hesitated, giving Sylas a glance but not attacking him.
Instead, it looked down at the fallen zombie's body.
Then it suddenly lunged at the corpse, gnawing on it.
To zombies, the bodies of their kind were also food, which they would consume.
Sylas approached the feasting zombie and with a single stroke, chopped off its head.
