Thinking of using his phone as a flashlight, Harry checked it and found that the battery was only 3% and it was about to run out.

"I wonder how you're doing now," Harry sighed, looking at the smiling and beautiful girl on his phone screen. She had long hair and bangs, looking very clean and pure. It was a photo of his girlfriend Amma, which he had set as his phone wallpaper.

With the city suddenly hit by a devastating flood, Harry didn't dare to think about what kind of situation Amma was in now, whether she was alive or not. Just thinking about it made him feel sad and depressed.

"Today is the 16th, it's already Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend. We had planned to climb Dragon Chau Mountain together on Saturday."

Since he woke up yesterday morning and found that the flood had submerged the entire city, it had been less than two days. But for Harry, his life had undergone a earth-shattering change, like experiencing a century-long ordeal. He experienced what it meant to live through a day as if it were a year.

Harry sadly placed his phone aside. It couldn't be charged, and it would soon automatically shut down. Although he still had a flashlight for illumination, Harry was reluctant to use it. In this situation of scarce resources, a flashlight that could provide light became a precious resource. Harry put it in his backpack along with the remaining food, unwilling to use it recklessly.

"Forget it, let's leave it here for now. We'll deal with it when the sun comes up tomorrow."

Harry placed the one-eyed toad's body in the living room, as the ground had become increasingly damp and many areas were showing signs of water damage. He moved the sofa into the bedroom and prepared to sleep on it tonight.

Apart from the cabinet propped against the window and the bed board, there was also the makeshift wooden raft he had made, two basins of tap water, a storage box filled with cold boiled water, a travel backpack containing food and important tools, and now a sofa that had almost filled up the entire bedroom.

Originally, he had also thought of moving the one-eyed toad's body into the bedroom. But considering its strong odor, if he put it next to him while the doors and windows were tightly closed, the stench would be unbearable, and he would not be able to sleep. So he had no choice but to leave it in the relatively ventilated living room and return to the bedroom himself.

In addition, deep down in Harry's heart, he secretly hoped that the body of the one-eyed toad could attract the low-level corpse beasts he wanted.

He was in dire need of spiritual sources.

After closing the door, Harry took out a kitchen knife and began to shave off a small piece of the edge of the door.

Soon, a small piece of the door was shaved off, leaving a gap about one centimeter wide. Through the gap, Harry could see the situation in the living room.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

This was in case there was any trouble outside. If he was hiding inside, he could easily observe the situation outside.

Since the lock was broken and the door couldn't be locked, Harry moved the sofa in front of the door, with one end propped against it.

Lying on the sofa, Harry's mind was in a state of excitement. Although he closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep.

His mind was constantly wandering, sometimes thinking about his parents, sometimes thinking about Amma, sometimes thinking about being trapped here, and where to go from here. He didn't know how many survivors like himself were left in the city, or how many people had evacuated before the flood.

This city had been submerged. What about other cities?

He had been trapped here for two days now. At first, he had the idea of waiting for rescue, but now that idea had slowly disappeared.

This calamity caused by the flood might be even more terrible than he had imagined.

Humans drowned in the flood could evolve into corpse beasts that lost their reason and attacked humans, and there were also one-eyed toads, which were unknown creatures. The spiritual source he obtained, the enhanced power he had now, and the "Peek Rune" he had mastered, all these signs indicated that the world had undergone unprecedented changes. The rules and common sense that had existed before were no longer there.

He could no longer use his previous knowledge to speculate on what was happening now.

For the future, he was completely perplexed.

Lost in thought, Harry didn't know how long it had been before a strange sound woke him up.

The sound was not loud, but it faintly came from the living room. Harry woke up suddenly and sat up from the sofa. His first reaction was to take the knife and hammer next to him.

Grabbing the knife and hammer, Harry felt a little relieved. Holding his breath, he listened carefully to the sound coming from the living room.

It sounded like something was gnawing on something.

Harry immediately thought of the one-eyed toad's body he had placed in the living room.

Quietly and slowly moving to the edge of the door, Harry leaned against the door and looked into the living room.

Through the gap, with the help of the faint moonlight shining in from the balcony window, Harry saw several shadows in the dim living room, eating the body of the one-eyed toad on the ground.

When Harry saw it, the one-eyed toad's body had already been eaten almost halfway.

With a thought, Harry immediately activated the "Peek Rune." The vertical eye-shaped rune appeared on his forehead, and a series of information and data immediately appeared in his mind.

"Corpse beast, the lowest-level spiritual source beast infected by a corpse, and through mutual devouring, it has a certain probability of evolving into a high-level corpse beast. Other: none."

"Corpse beast, the lowest-level spiritual source beast infected by a corpse..."

...

As Harry observed each shadow, the repeated information flashed in his mind, indicating that all these black shadows eating the flesh and blood of the one-eyed toad were low-level corpse beasts formed by the corpses of humans who were infected by the flood.

For Harry now, these low-level corpse beasts posed no threat, but instead were something he most wanted to encounter.

He was still missing two spiritual sources. With these corpse beasts in the living room, they were like spiritual sources in his eyes.

Determined that they posed no threat, Harry didn't hesitate to move the sofa, open the door, and run out with the knife and hammer.

Harry's sudden appearance alarmed these corpse beasts, and they all looked up. Immediately, two of them stood up and rushed towards Harry.

Although it was night, with the help of the moonlight, Harry could still see their movements clearly. In Harry's eyes now, the movements of these corpse beasts were not fast, and he could easily dodge or block them.

With a swift kick, I was able to send the approaching zombie on the left flying much faster than its initial speed. Then, swinging my hammer with my right arm, I accurately struck the head of the zombie approaching from the right.
