Damian's purpose in this pretend game is very simple, he needs to find a few survivors as bait.
Although he could just open the door without knocking and go inside to check if there were any survivors, but he couldn't do this until he found the treasure chest.
He needs living survivors. If he takes them upstairs before finding enough people, he will have to spend extra effort to protect them or keep them in place.
If the survivors' hands and feet are broken, their piercing screams will attract more zombies. It's okay to knock someone unconscious, but there's too much risk if the bait wakes up or runs away.
So it doesn't hurt to be nice for a while.
Damian climbed to the next floor. There were fewer zombies on the fourth floor than on the third one. There were only two in the corridor.
After solving the problem, Damian repeated the actions he took on the last floor, but when he knocked on the third door, he clearly heard the slight abnormal noise inside the house. If it were a zombie, there wouldn't be just such a little sound, followed by the silence.
It was more like someone was hesitating behind the door, whether to open the door or not.
After all, in the eyes of normal people, opening the door to strangers at will is a very dangerous thing.
"I am a rescue officer. If there are survivors in the room, please open the door immediately. The next search in this area will be carried out a month later."
After Damian finished speaking, he went directly to the other door without waiting. Just when he was about to knock on the other door, the door opened with a click.
'Got you.' Damian smiled and then turned around with a serious face.
The one who opened the door was a young girl, about twenty years old, with messy hair, a faint black mark under her eyes, and a very tired look.
It looked like she had stayed up all night.
But this is normal. People who can sleep peacefully all night are either brave and talented people like Damian, or they are complete fools. It is normal for ordinary people to have insomnia when zombies are doing disco right outside.
Probably for this reason, the girl knows that if she can't get rescued, she won't be able to survive, so she might as well take the risk, right?
Not to mention the zombies with improved attributes this morning, even the zombies on the first day were absolutely invincible monsters for her.
If she continues to stay here, she will definitely die. But if she ventures out, there may still be a chance of survival.
Of course, being able to make the teen girl make up her mind to come out actually has a lot to do with Damian's appearance.
Although Damian cannot be said to be earth-shatteringly handsome, but he can still be considered above average easily.
After all, he is not the type of rich second generation dandy who'll show his murderous intent and just has horny villain written all over his face.
As long as Damian deliberately disguises himself, he can suppress all his coldness and give people the illusion of gentleness. After all, to survive in the world without any money and power, what one needs the most is a thick face and good acting skills.
"You...Hello..." The girl was timid and didn't know what to say, so she could only say hello in a stuttering voice.
Damian gave a kind smile and asked politely: "Are there any other survivors in your room?"
"No...no more, it's just me." The girl whispered.
"Well, don't be afraid, our people are rescuing all survivors." Damian said.
"Great, am I really saved?"
"Of course, but I still have to search other floors, so please go back to the room and wait. I will go downstairs to call you before leaving. It won't take long."
Damian answered politely, and his attitude completely reassured the girl. She followed Damian's words, returned to the room and closed the door.
This scene was seen through the peephole by the man at the door opposite. He was originally hesitant to open the door.
His physique is naturally much stronger than that of girls. Yesterday he also ventured out to hunt zombies. Although it was difficult, he succeeded in killing two.
This seemed to be a good start, but then, the zombie wave in the hall taught him a hard lesson. All two companions died, and he was the only one left who ran back to the room and hid in the corner shivering.
Seeing that the girl was fine and Damian really didn't look like a bad person. The man gritted his teeth and slowly opened the door when Damian knocked on his door.
Just like before, Damian just asked if there was anyone else in the room, and then asked him to go back to the room and wait.
There were two survivors in total on the fourth floor. Damian went up and found one survivor each on the fifth and sixth floors.
Of course, it is not ruled out that even if someone heard Damian's words, they would still hide in the room and not come out.
"Well, consider them lucky. These four will do just fine." Damian said and stopped looking for survivors, and started searching for the treasure chest.
It has been such a long time that Damian no longer remembers which floor he found the treasure chest in his previous life. He only remembered that it was in some restaurant type area.
He continued to clean up zombies, all the way to the top floor, searching for any small restaurant or kitchen hall.
As soon as he stepped onto the next stairs, his eyes lit up. This area was no longer an accommodation room, but a lounge and restaurant.
'Finally found it.' Seeing the familiar area, a smile came to his face.
He chopped down the zombies inside, looked around, and walked towards the seafood area on the left.
He had just walked a few steps in and immediately saw the gleaming gold treasure chest at the end of the corridor leading to a staff room.
About fifteen meters in front of the treasure chest, there is a crystal lamp that is too big to be hung on the ceiling. It has a very strange shape and is full of strange designs.
But if you really think that it is a light chandelier and walk over to open the treasure chest carelessly, they'll find a few new holes on their body.
Others didn't know it, but Damian knew exactly what kind of crystal lamp it actually was. It's a mimicking mutated octopus.
This monster's attributes are not outstanding, but he has many skills and a very strong self-healing ability. Coupled with the four huge mutated tentacles, he once caused a lot of trouble to Damian in his previous life, and even made him want to give up this treasure chest many times.
After confirming the location of the treasure chest, Damian returned downstairs and knocked on the doors of the four survivors he found.
"My companions have cleared the area above. There are still many zombies in the hall and street below. Now please follow me to the rooftop. There will be a helicopter to respond."
"Sir, um, didn't the means of transportation fail? How come the plane can still be used?" A man asked, rubbing his hands in confusion.
"This involves some state secrets. I'll tell you if I have the opportunity to explain it in the future, the more important thing now is to escape from here and go to a safe area, right?" Damian replied with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, let's go, then let's go." The man nodded repeatedly.
"You guys should walk ahead of me. The zombies below have not been cleared yet. I will cover for you."
Hearing this, several people remained motionless. None of them wanted to go in front. After all, Damian said that the upstairs was cleaned up. What if there was anything left?
Just when everyone was hesitating, a zombie suddenly jumped up from below. Several people immediately ran upstairs, fearing that they would be caught by the zombie if they were slow.
Damian silently followed a few people until they reached the top floor, and a zombie came down from upstairs, jumping right in front of them.
"Arghhhhh"
"Didn't you say there are no zombies on top?"
"Where are your partners?"
"Why's there no noise?"
Before the people could run or ask for an answer, Damian swiped his sword across the floor. The icy edge glimmed and the four people's legs were cut off at the root and all of them fell down instantly.
