The physical strength after upgrading is truly extraordinary!
Facing these zombies, Zhang Chen was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. With a destructive momentum, he easily dealt with thirty-one zombies!
Under the enhancement of the collection skill.
Items obtained from killing zombies directly entered the storage ring.
Only when the storage ring space was insufficient would they drop outside.
Now Zhang Chen still had plenty of slots in his storage space.
Moreover, the zombies dropped only a few types of items: [Energy Crystal Core], [Mutated Fertilizer], [Clean Cloth], and some similar personal belongings.
Zhang Chen kept the [Cold Storage Key] and discarded useless items like [Business Cards], [Meal Cards], and [Student IDs].
To save storage space.
After entering the canteen through the back door and walking not far, he saw a heavy iron gate.
Water was still flowing out from the gap under the iron gate.
This should be the cold storage!
Zhang Chen focused his gaze on the cold storage door, and soon, a prompt reappeared!
[The frozen meat in the cold storage has just been thawed and has not yet rotted, so it can be eaten with confidence!]
This is good!
Zhang Chen rejoiced!
In the apocalypse, the highest proportion of food consists of processed foods like instant noodles and self-heating hot pots.
These foods taste quite good occasionally.
But if you eat them every day, for every meal, it's really unbearable.
For other survivors who had difficulty even eating, they wouldn't be picky; having something to eat was good enough.
But Zhang Chen was different.
He now possessed a large quantity of [Meat and Potatoes], [Canned Beef], and a pile of food obtained from the supermarket.
The variety was vast, and there was no worry about not having food.
Therefore, Zhang Chen paid more attention to the quality of food.
Undoubtedly, freshly fried and stewed meat would be several levels superior to instant food in terms of both texture and taste!
While others were still worrying about survival in the apocalypse.
Zhang Chen had already begun to plan for a quality life...
Opening the cold storage.
Inside, four large sections of processed, headless whole pigs were hanging.
There was also a cow and two sheep.
In the corner, boxes of semi-finished foods were piled up.
All collected into the storage space!
Zhang Chen lightly touched the boxes of food!
Ding! Collection successful!

Wow, a complete harvest!
Zhang Chen then went to the storage room.
When Zhao Xiyue traded with him before, she had given him a set of keys.
It included the key to the canteen's storeroom.
So, Zhang Chen easily opened the storeroom.
This small room was about fifty square meters.
Inside, shelves were densely packed.
There were 4 layers from bottom to top.
The bottom layer was filled with food items like rice and flour.
Without exception.
The rice and flour here were also contaminated by red mushrooms.
Only unopened items with very good sealing were preserved.
Collect!
Ding! Collection successful!
Congratulations on obtaining [Cooking Oil 5L] *10, [Oyster Sauce] *5, [Soy Sauce] *6, [Ketchup] *10, [Cooking Wine] *6, [Aged Vinegar] *6, [White Vinegar] *4, [Salt] *30, [Sugar] *30, [Broad Bean Paste] *10, [Hot Pot Base] *20!
There were too many types of seasonings.
Zhang Chen only picked some that he usually used for cooking.
And also those categories that already existed in his storage space before.
Stacking them this way could save a lot of space!
After another round of scavenging!
Before leaving the canteen, Zhang Chen also took the gas cylinders from the canteen.
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Gas Cylinder] *6.
Exiting the canteen, Zhang Chen returned to the sports field.
He remembered that the previous diary entry had mentioned this.
The diary's owner had stolen one of the three armed mechs stored in the shelter beneath the school's sports field and fought his way out.
The armed mech that fought its way out was located at the entrance of the shelter.
He basically died the moment he charged out.
This showed how terrifying the outside world was!
This also indicated that two more armed mechs should be stored safely in the shelter.
Such combat powerhouses had to be acquired!
Zhang Chen arrived at the entrance of the shelter.
The shelter was converted from an air-raid shelter.
The entrance to the air-raid shelter was located below the flagpole stand on the sports field.
The heavy iron gate was severely damaged.
The inside was pitch black.
Standing at the entrance, he could still feel gusts of cold air blowing out from within.
[It's terrifyingly dark here, but the good news is there's no threat...]
Oh...
Zhang Chen was slightly disappointed.
He had expected to harvest some crystal cores here.
No zombies!?
Then he thought about it.
The shelter was breached by undead monsters that rushed out from the ground.
These monsters likely ate everyone inside, so naturally, there were no zombies.
The world was currently suppressing monsters, and it wasn't their turn to appear.
Therefore, there wouldn't be any monsters more terrifying than zombies here!
It was just dark!
Zhang Chen walked down the stairs covered in thick dust and rubble.
With every step, a creaking sound was produced.
This sound created slight echoes in the silent air-raid shelter.
Making it feel eerily quiet.
After walking only three to four meters.
The world ahead plunged into complete darkness.
The light coming from the entrance had weakened to the point of being negligible.
Zhang Chen took out his [Night Vision Goggles] and put them on his head.
Zzzt...
Night vision goggles activated!
The dark air-raid shelter in front of him immediately became bright.
However, the scenery ahead was completely covered in green, giving it a rather eerie appearance!
In this situation.
Even though Zhang Chen knew there was no threat, his body instinctively reacted.
Every hair on his body stood on end, and his nerves were in a state of high tension.
Even his energy armor quickly covered his entire body with the surge of adrenaline.
Zhang Chen walked forward step by step.
The walls along the way were covered in graffiti.
The colors were unclear, but they looked like blood, smeared with palms.
They read: Save me... This is hell... Curse you... Die!
There were also many graffiti with incomprehensible patterns.
