After she left, Sam decided it was time to clear the zombie debris in front of the door. The day before, he looked in apartments and found a piece of a wooden board, after tinkering a little, he managed to nail a couple of improvised handles to it.

It turned out something like a shield, albeit very flawed. But still better than nothing, it should be enough against ordinary zombies.

Having untied the rope, he began to try to push the door out to get into the street, after some efforts he still succeeded. Looking around, he did not see any zombies nearby, so he began to drag the corpses away from the door.

When he was already finishing this dirty job, it seemed to him that he heard something, turning his head, he froze in place. He saw that a humanoid was rapidly approaching him, or rather it was a skeleton, this skeleton was somewhat reminiscent of the terminator from the movie of the same name, he had a sword in his hand and he was essentially running straight to Sam.

Startled, Sam quickly ran into the entrance and closed the doors behind him. After a few seconds, a crash was heard. Sam jumped in fear, the door sagged slightly from the blows of the skeleton, but still he could not break through it, at least for now.

Sam calmed down and decided to check something, he came closer to the door but to its right side, he wanted to know if this skeleton feels his presence through the door.

The tip of a sword answered him, this time the skeleton stabbed the doors and the sword managed to go through it, but just a little bit. Sam stepped back again to the stairs, the skeleton continued to try to break through the doors.

The bottom line was that Sam lived in a shitty country, and now he was in an area where real estate was the cheapest, this was the reason why Sam came here years ago, the population of the city was only under 70 thousand people.

There was no work here, but he didn't care because he made money on the Internet, in general, the entrance doors, although they were iron, could not be called high-quality, given the thickness, so in general it is more likely just plywood.

Sam was convinced that the skeleton possessed the rudiments of intelligence and felt it through the doors, and he decided that it was worth trying to neutralize it, because the skeleton could not get inside until it made its way, it remained to wait for a convenient opportunity.

Sam decided to take a chance and added all the stat points to his strength, grabbing the ax comfortably with both hands, he began to wait for the right moment.

After a while, having already pierced a small gap, the skeleton struck another thrusting blow with a sword directly into the hole in the direction of Sam, in an attempt to reach him with a sword, at that very moment Sam gathered all his strength in his hands and took a step forward, bypassing the sword, stabbed with an ax on the fingers of the skeleton in which he held the sword.

The ax struck the thumb of the skeleton with tremendous momentum, causing the thumb to come off, and the force of the blow allowed the skeleton to release the sword from its hands. Sam himself was not injured, although the moment was rather dangerous.

The skeleton began trying to punch, but without a weapon, he did not achieve much. Sam took his sword for himself.

Most recently, Sam killed zombies, then cleared the passage and after the recent events felt very tired, so he decided to return home and rest, already opening the doors to his home, he noticed that the skeleton had stopped making noise, apparently no longer felt Sam nearby.
