“I will lead the first group. Yin He, Zhang ShengLi, Wang DeCheng, Han GuangMing, you will each lead your own group. Each pick two members in your group and split up to enter different household. Gather all the clean food and drink! After you are finished, gather on the 5th floor!” Liu Gan ordered out loud. As he appointed two players to follow him and rush to the floors above.

This building had seven floors, so Liu Gan chose the highest floor to clear out first. As he rushed up the stairs, the zombies in between the floors were all killed off by Liu Gan and his lackeys. With an effortless swing of the axe, the zombies died one by one.

Upon arriving onto the seventh floor, they noticed that both sides had anti-theft door installed. As the two lackeys were wondering how to break through the doorway, Liu Gan ferociously kicked onto the wall attached with the hinge. Several cracks immediately appeared on the wall.

The two lackeys were shocked at how powerful Liu Gan was. What they didn't know was that Liu Gan didn't use his full strength because he was afraid that the wall might collapse on him.

After the the wall had been cracked, Liu Gan waited for a bit just to be sure that the crack wasn't too much for the structural integrity. That was when Liu Gan used his full force in several kicks and created a large hole in the foam brick wall. From that, they were able to enter into apartment.

The household didn't have any zombies and the balcony door was wide open with dried bloody footprints leading to it. It looked like there was a zombie in this place, and it had jumped off.

As the them three broke into the place, they spread out to different, significant areas for searches. The fridge, kitchen, cabinets held the highest possibility for containing food products. As long as people had lived here, there should be food. And so, they found half a bag of rice, cans of beer, and yogurt. It was possible this household had a child, since there were still two large cans of baby powdered milk.

After searching through the first household, Liu Gan created another hole in the anti-theft door on the household of the opposite side. They resumed their looting work there. After the catastrophe, it didn't take long before it was filled with zombies near the downtown city center. Players and survivors like Liu Gan were few in number., which made it easier to gather resources in the city center than here in the suburbs.

Floors below, the other squads also found separate ways to break into the anti-theft doorways, although they weren't as efficient as Liu Gan's group. By the time Liu Gan finished the sixth and seventh floor, the other groups were almost done with one floor of searching and ready to meet up.

As they reach the fifth floor, Liu Gan was about to continue his routine kick. Right as Liu Gan was just about to create another hole on the hinge wall, a player walked over to stop him. This player was using a self-made strange metal tool that he shoved into the anti-theft door lock. Then with a few light twists and turns, he easily opened up the door lock.

“I'm not a thief. I was a locksmith… Elder Liu don't look at me like that. It's true, my family have been generations of being locksmiths. Even though locksmiths here are almost as skilled as I was back when I was younger, and locksmiths do play video games…” said the player as he quickly explained himself to Liu Gan.

This player didn't lie. His name was Zhao Meng, and he was definitely from a family of locksmiths. In addition, he was a fanatic in finding different methods of unlocking anti-theft locks. Amongst his self created tools, there was no lock in the market that he couldn't unlock.

After entering into the game, to stand out amongst his fellow players, Zhao Meng used his spare time to create this tool. Seeing that players and enhanced survivors alike were judged based on their ability, it was possible that Zhao Meng could have a chance to reach level 5 too. Thus, he quickly used this chance to demonstrate himself.

The doors to the several floors also had a few that installed anti-theft door locks that were opened by him.
