"It's strange, really, this is Raccoon City, the domain of the zombies, so just how did that Goblin Merchant manage to get in here?"
Zhang Yanhang had previously been running around Raccoon City to unlock the map and didn't see any monsters other than zombies. Coupled with the eerily distinct border between the Goblin Plain and Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang had reason to believe that monsters should only stay in their own territories and not wander aimlessly into the domains of other monsters.
"So what exactly is the reason behind the Goblin Merchant's entry into Raccoon City?" With insufficient data samples and only the Goblin Merchant as an example, Zhang Yanhang was unable to deduce the truth and answer from a single entity.
However, he felt that such issues could totally wait until he encountered more erratic monsters in the future. Only by encountering enough anomalously wandering monsters could he discover their commonalities and ultimately deduce the truth and answer.
Right now, Zhang Yanhang's most important task was to go out and hunt zombies; all other matters could be set aside for the moment.
About an hour later, an expressionless Zhang Yanhang tore apart a Zombie Dog that had bitten into his crotch on the street. After waiting a few seconds, a Drop Treasure Box, glowing with a white light, suddenly appeared on the dead body of the Zombie Dog. After picking up the treasure box, Zhang Yanhang caught a glimpse of something strange in the corner of his eye.
"What's that?" Zhang Yanhang noticed the upper body of a zombie stuck to the wall of a two-story building on his left, the entire upper body parallel to the ground and with both arms raised, as if inexplicably caught in a modeling error like an NPC outside the game world.
"Could it be a mutated zombie? But superpower mutations aren't exactly popular in Resident Evil, are they?" Full of doubts, Zhang Yanhang quickly ran to the side of that two-story building and checked the Attribute list of the weird zombie. The result was that it turned out to be an ordinary First Tier Zero Star Worker Zombie.
Zhang Yanhang took a closer look and found more details, such as the fact that the zombie did have a lower body, but it was stuck in the wall, probably because it was too fat, "And it's not even a female zombie, so why is it stuck in this position?"
"Could it be that it was trying to sneak attack me after hearing the cries of the Zombie Dogs?" Zhang Yanhang had just manually ripped apart more than a dozen Zombie Dogs on the roadside. If there were only four or five Zombie Dogs, a bite here and there on the arms or legs would have been sufficient, but since there were more than a dozen, Zhang Yanhang had no more room on his body to spare, which led to Zombie Dogs biting at his crotch.
"Never mind, since it's not a bug, but just stuck in a hole, let's just finish it off." Zhang Yanhang wiped the dirty blood from his hands and pulled out his Beretta 92F from his waist bag and shot the Worker Zombie in the head.

Having learned Gun Proficiency, Zhang Yanhang found it still a bit challenging to shoot Zombie Dogs, but he had no trouble with ordinary zombies. Within fifty meters, he could hit wherever he aimed.
Previously, Zhang Yanhang had lived for twenty years without ever seeing a gun, let alone shooting one. Although the robust physical condition of an Awakener might make him slightly more accurate than a normal person, he definitely wouldn't have achieved this level of precision.
In fact, this fifty-meter range was simply because of the handgun's own range limitation. If Zhang Yanhang got a rifle, he felt he could maintain Precise Shooting within one or two hundred meters.
"Even though it's just a LV.1 Gun Proficiency, I feel like my marksmanship is at least at the level of a special forces soldier, right?" While refreshing his Enemy Seeking Radar, Zhang Yanhang raised his hand and took out three Zombie Dancers in black leather from a weird pink storefront strip club that ran towards him.
Three consecutive gunshots, and three bullets penetrated the heads of the three Zombie Dancers. Accompanied by the destruction of their brains, the three Zombie Dancers collapsed onto the cold pavement in more intricate positions than they could have managed in life.

"Huh? So they are female zombies of different dance genres? But why are they all dressed the same? I thought all three were Pole Dancing Zombies..."
Zhang Yanhang thought about it and realized that in such a club, the genre of dance didn't really matter, and whether they could dance well was utterly irrelevant. Once he came to this realization, he felt relieved; after all, who actually pays attention to the dancing?
Zhang Yanhang glanced down at his Enemy Seeking Radar, which showed no enemies within range, "Good, finally, I've cleared this area."
After picking up a treasure box from one that looked the most like a Pole Dancing Zombie among the bodies on the ground, Zhang Yanhang began to run towards the gun shop not far away.
Upon reaching the gun shop, Zhang Yanhang pulled down the shutter door, found a basket, and started to pour treasure boxes into it from his shoulder bag. The fully packed shoulder bag contained ten treasure boxes, and in addition to these ten, Zhang Yanhang pulled out another ten from his Waist Bag.
In the past hour, Zhang Yanhang had cleared more area and zombies than he had initially anticipated, mainly because he no longer used his Chopper. Close combat was done entirely with his bare hands, and those that didn't cling or bite him were dispatched with his handgun. Whether Zombie Dogs or zombies, a shot to the head was a one-shot kill, thereby greatly increasing his efficiency in killing zombies.
This time, taking the maximum diameter of the Enemy Seeking Radar as an anchor point, Zhang Yanhang cleared all zombies within a square kilometer nearby. He killed roughly over a hundred Ordinary zombies and about twenty to thirty Zombie Dogs.
Initially, he had thought such a large area must hide two or three hundred zombies at least, but he was overthinking it, as many buildings and shops were empty, with only a small number of rooms hiding zombies.
With the help of the Enemy Seeking Radar, he didn't need to waste time on the most troublesome task of finding zombies. All he needed to do was Charge, charge, and keep charging, run quickly from one spot to another, eliminate the zombies there, then pick up the Drop Treasure Box, and swiftly move to the next location, over and over again.
