Chapter 42: This Daniel is quite cautious!
If it weren't for the fear of making noise, using a dagger would have been more efficient.
Elijah pulled out the dagger carried by the scar-faced man and stabbed it into his brain, stirring it a few times to ensure that he had no chance of turning into a zombie.
He then took the gun from his body.
When Elijah came out, they continued to the next room.
They repeated this process until Elijah successfully dealt with the four gunmen, all of whom were drunk and posed no challenge.
"Now, only the leader Daniel is left!"
Elijah looked at the last two rooms, remaining vigilant.
The first room was locked, so Elijah didn't act rashly. He went straight to the second room.
Turning the doorknob gently, it didn't budge!
"This Daniel is quite cautious!"
Elijah instructed Daisy to watch the door opposite, while he took out his lock-picking tools.
Under his increasingly skilled operation, the lock was quickly opened.
There was no one inside, but there were many supplies, including some police equipment.
"They've stored weapons and supplies here!"
Elijah realized. If it were him, he might have also chosen a place close to himself for security.
"Then he must be in the opposite room!"
Elijah turned around and continued to unlock that door.
Everything went smoothly, and the lock was easily opened.
Elijah cautiously began to open the door.
However, halfway through, the door was suddenly blocked!
"Who?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded. Realizing he had been discovered, Elijah acted decisively and kicked the door with force.
"Bang!"
The door, along with part of the door frame, flew into the room.
"Ah!"
The man screamed in agony.
Afraid that the person inside would shoot, Elijah originally intended to hide outside the door.
However, seeing the door being kicked so forcefully and the subsequent screams, he immediately rushed into the room.
But what followed made him chuckle!
Daniel's obese body was firmly pinned by the door, his legs bent in a strange way, clearly broken.
Elijah quickly understood what had happened.
This Daniel was much smarter than his other brothers.
Even though he was sleeping on the floor like them, he positioned his feet towards the door and very close to it.
The door was not only locked but also had a chair placed behind it.
This way, people outside couldn't open the door.
Even if someone like Elijah unlocked it while he was asleep, when they opened the door, they would encounter his feet, and the chair would block them, giving him time to react and counterattack with his gun.
But who would have thought that Elijah wouldn't follow the usual approach, and Daniel had no idea about Elijah's strength.
The result was Elijah kicking the door open, breaking his leg in the process.
"What's going on?"
Daisy, who had been on guard outside, now curious, peeked inside.
"Too much force!"
Elijah moved the door away, while Daniel, still conscious, reached for his gun.
It was fortunate for Elijah and Daisy that their vision wasn't affected much by the darkness of the night, allowing them to clearly see his movements.
Elijah immediately stepped on his hand. Daniel's cries grew louder.
Elijah held his head and twisted it forcefully.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the notorious underworld boss in the old city underground ceased making any noise.
And he died without ever knowing who killed him, with only a blurry shadow imprinted in his mind.
"All right, it's finally quiet! Let's tally up the supplies now!"
Elijah sighed with relief.
He had no intention of contacting the people downstairs locked in other rooms.
After searching Daniel's body for weapons, Elijah and Daisy returned to the adjacent room.
"So much food!"
Daisy eagerly opened a can of meat and started eating.
They hadn't had dinner yet!
Meanwhile, Elijah was attracted to the complete set of police equipment inside the room.
There were daggers, pistols, bullets, batons, handcuffs, tear gas sprays, flashlights, police water bottles, first aid kits, multifunctional belts, anti-cut gloves, walkie-talkies, bulletproof vests, stab-resistant suits, and police equipment bags... Some items even Elijah couldn't name.
"Snack lover, come here, I'll give you some equipment!"
Elijah called Daisy over, helping her put on a bulletproof vest, a multifunctional belt, and other usable equipment one by one.
"How does it feel? Are you comfortable?"
With so many things hanging on her, Daisy didn't feel uncomfortable after taking a few steps.
Her current strength was comparable to that of a weightlifter.
"Yeah, it's pretty good!"
Daisy nodded and turned back to eating.
...
"Anyway, this is a man's romance!"
Elijah sighed and began to equip himself.
After putting on stab-resistant clothing, a bulletproof vest, and a multifunctional belt, he walked around the room feeling quite satisfied.
He picked up the captured pistol, a classic Glock 17, about 7.95 inches long, 1.27 inches wide, 5.47 inches high, weighing around 22 ounces, with a magazine capacity of 17 rounds.
Elijah removed the magazine, easily pulling back the slide.
A golden bullet fell out. He pressed the bullet back into the magazine, then reloaded it.
Pulling back the slide again, the bullet was chambered.
It was similar to using a toy gun, but real guns had safety mechanisms, unlike toy guns, where the safety was purely decorative.
There were two such pistols, with over 60 corresponding bullets.
Elijah also found five revolvers, similar in length to the Glock 17 but lighter, with a cylinder capacity of 6 rounds.
There were about 100 corresponding bullets, as well as some rubber bullets.
Elijah packed these pistols and bullets into his backpack, along with any other usable equipment.
"Almost done, Daisy. Your bag is full of food, let's go!"
"Aren't we going to deal with the people downstairs?"
Daisy asked as she continued to pack food into her bag.
"We don't need to worry about them. When dawn comes, and no one opens the door for them, they'll find a way out themselves."
Elijah reasoned that although those in the cell might have trouble, the office downstairs had less sturdy doors.
A few kicks would be enough to get out.
When Daisy's backpack was full, they started walking back.
As they reached the ground floor, Elijah smelled a foul odor in the air.
"Wait for me, I'll go check where the bodies are stored!"
Elijah quickly walked to the corner where the zombie bodies were stored.
The strong flashlight illuminated the area like daylight.
Many zombie bodies were haphazardly placed, some already decaying and emitting a putrid smell.
Yellow pus flowed freely.
Ignoring his discomfort, Elijah began searching inch by inch.
Suddenly, a plant caught his eye!
It had two broad leaves with pale veins, seemingly glowing on the bright green leaves.
It was zombie grass! Finally... he found another one!
