After the Antibiotics and painkillers took effect, it only took about 2 hours for most of the wounds on Shawn's body to heal.
The most severely injured trapezius muscle had formed a thick scab, with only some bruises on his back remaining.
During this time, Shawn opened the system panel and repaired the Stone Hammer that was propped against the door.
The cost of repairing combat weapons was very low, and the materials Shawn carried with him were sufficient.
The entire repair time was only about one or two minutes.
Standing behind the door of the Power Generation Room, Shawn looked at the door and rubbed his chin.
He decided to use the remaining wood in his backpack to craft 6 'Wooden Spike Traps' and surrounded the door with them.
Simple protective measures.
At the very least, if the door was breached instantly, these wooden barricades could buy Shawn some reaction time.
The Prison, where Walkers roamed everywhere, was not like the outside; it was better to be careful.
"Caution is the parent of safety~"
Shawn hummed twice, the feeling of surviving a disaster was quite good.
Although the'sleeping environment' was average, it offered a much greater sense of security.
Shawn lay on the clothes spread on the ground, and a wave of fatigue quickly swept over his consciousness.
His eyelids grew heavier and heavier... heavier and heavier...
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day.
As dawn was just breaking, Shawn's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he first looked at the doorway.
Only after confirming that there were no changes compared to when he went to sleep yesterday did Shawn comfortably stretch.
"Don't even mention it, sleeping in this kind of environment is just different."
Shawn exclaimed in wonder.
He hadn't had a 'dream continuation' in a long time.
The dream he had last night perfectly picked up from the dream he had when he fainted.
Sister Emily was simply too enthusiastic, Shawn couldn't resist, so he packed up and went home with her.
'Only two pieces of meat went back, nothing else happened.'
This was Shawn's consistent explanation to everyone he met, explaining it until he woke up.
"Young people just have vigorous blood, and with their bodies transformed by the system, such great strength means there must be plenty of male hormones, so I can't be blamed."
"Who hasn't had one or two wet dreams..."
Shawn took out half a box of biscuits and two small cakes from his backpack, and had breakfast with coffee.
After finding a plausible excuse for his 'beautiful dream', he got up, walked around the 'Wooden Spike Traps', and pressed his ear against the door.
Through the metal door, the low growls of Walkers from outside were much weaker compared to last night.
The frequency of the sounds they made also decreased significantly.
"It seems the main Walker force has wandered off to other places."
"If Shawn escapes, he might come back in."
"I can't just wait here; I'll just turn on the generator and then clear a path out from here."
"Then I'll meet up with them halfway, and take this opportunity to thoroughly clear the Walker horde from the Prison today."
Shawn looked through the ground window at the gradually brightening sky outside, analyzing carefully.
About 20 minutes later, the sky was already bright, and Shawn acted immediately.
He first put away 4 of the 2 'Wooden Spike Traps' surrounding the door, leaving only 2 directly facing the door.
Then, he pressed the green button on the main control panel.
Gong gong gong gong gong --
As the large fan began to spin, the generator also started operating in due time.
Shawn manually turned off half of the generator, leaving the rest to run at the lowest three power settings.
All six units made a considerable amount of noise, just like last night.
But at the same time, the lights in more than half of the entire Prison lit up.
Shawn looked up at the incandescent lights above his head, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Yesterday you guys crushed me to death, but today I'm in good shape, let's start over."
As he spoke, Shawn opened the system panel.
[Shawn]
[Level Lv24 (98%)]
[Skill Points Available: 1]
[Health: 124 / 124 (Initial 100, Level Bonus 24)]
[Stamina: 124 / 124 (Full Status)]
[Food & Water: 124 / 124 (Continuously slowly decreasing)]
[Body Temperature: 70°F]
[Walkers Killed: 283]
[magazine: Bow Crafting Level Lv10, Wrench Crafting Level Lv5, Great Hammer Crafting Level Lv10]
[Skills: Strength — Attribute Lv10, Skull Crusher Lv4, Exterior Strength Internal Activity Lv1; Fortitude — Pain Tolerance…]
[Status Effects: None]
Full and well-fed, with renewed strength after a night's rest, Shawn was now in peak condition.
He then opened the skill point allocation interface, looked at Strength, and then scrolled to 'Fortitude'.
He looked at the basic attributes under the Fortitude sequence, and was about to click to improve his physique.
But his hand, suspended in mid-air, paused.
Shawn suddenly remembered the scene of being frantically chased by the Walker horde yesterday, and couldn't help but move his finger to the bottom of the Fortitude sequence.
Looking at the effect of this skill, Shawn satisfactorily added his only skill point to it.
[(Hiker) Level 1/5, allows your body to adapt to the best way to fight Walkers — running away]
[Increases stamina regeneration rate, you can now extend the duration of continuous running]
Rule 1: Aerobic Training Level 1/5
This skill does not have attack power, but it is one of the few skills that increases mobility before the 'Agility' sequence is unlocked.
For Shawn's current situation, it was more suitable than adding points to 'Basic Fortitude'.
After doing all this, Shawn took down the Stone Hammer propped against the door, unlocked the door, and gently opened one side of the double door.
Creak--
The metal door let out a soft whine, and the moment the metal door opened, the sound of the engine began to spread without obstruction nearby.
Shawn stood behind the two remaining 'Wooden Spike Traps', gripping his great hammer tightly, his brows furrowed.
But when the first Walker entered the Power Generation Room, Shawn's tightly furrowed brows couldn't help but relax.
A few more playful and amused expressions appeared on his face.
"So it's Experience Bro, has Experience Bro eaten and drunk today?"
Following Shawn's gaze, he saw a Walker, with only its upper body remaining, slowly crawling in, dragging a long trail of blood behind it.
Its crawling speed was as slow as a normal Walker's walking, and its mobility was even worse than a normal Walker's.
Even an Lv1 could easily smash it, which is why many people affectionately called it 'Experience Bro'.
Especially after losing its lower body, Experience Bro had little left to surprise anyone.
Shawn moved two steps to the side, leading Experience Bro around the 'Wooden Spike Trap'.
The head of the great hammer gently rested on Experience Bro's head; it waved its pale arms but couldn't advance an inch.
Experience Bro's constant hoarse growls and pawing looked extremely anxious.
"Alright, alright, I'm done playing with you. Remember to be reborn into a good life next time."
Shawn chuckled, used the hammer face to lift it with one hand, then smashed it downwards, splattering blood!
At the same time, a golden-yellow glow enveloped Shawn, and a light, pleasant tune played in his ears.
[Level Up, Lv24 → Lv25]
[Skill Points Gained: 1]
[You can now allocate skill points]
Experience Bro had just filled Shawn's experience pool.
However, before Shawn could add the point, several Walkers squeezed in through the doorway, one after another.
Perhaps because of the generator's sound, Walkers continued to crowd in, wanting to enter.
Fortunately, Shawn had only opened one door, which prevented the Walkers from rushing in all at once.
Shawn quickly returned behind the 'Wooden Spike Trap', preparing to implement the 'Card-Take-Demand' combat plan.
