Second Day

The sound of the broadcast echoed throughout the neighborhood and permeated the villas.

Good morning, everyone! Although we don't have bright sunshine here, I have repaired all the streetlights in the community and turned them on to the maximum extent possible to restore a pleasant morning for you.

The activity time on the second day was still 12 hours.

If you're hungry, hurry up and go out to find something to eat.

Oh, right! I'll let you in on a little secret: due to environmental degradation, the infection rate is increasing. As you all probably know, in this post-apocalyptic world shrouded in the virus, the number of zombies is multiplying every day.

Be careful when you're out looking for food.

The notification is now complete.

Yu Lu went to the peephole to observe the situation outside, and what she saw made her pupils dilate slightly.

Yesterday, zombies were a rare sight, but today they're everywhere, roaming outside the gate as if all the residents of the neighborhood have come down for a stroll.

Not only that,

Besides normal humanoid zombies, there are also many strange species that transcend the human body.

Yu Lu's specialty is spirit attacks. Although she can also kill physical entities, dealing with so many at once becomes quite troublesome.

However, there are other options.

The two only need to go to the villa where the Fat Pig corpse was located yesterday, and they can use the meat reserves there to get through the entire second stage without having to worry about anything else.

Just as she was about to explain the situation to Luo Di,

The broadcast came on again:

"I apologize for forgetting to inform you of something important. Given that everyone had a very peaceful first day and there was no tension that a game should have, I will be changing one of the important initial rules."

All the villas inside the community will no longer be safe.

Both contestants and zombies can damage the villa.

The last-minute changes will be difficult for many people to adapt to, so I will give you half an hour to prepare.

In addition, considering the ongoing effects of the Hunger Virus on you, you are unable to exert your full strength, and your bodies will not be able to withstand the continuous killing.

The "Safe House" setting should be retained, but it cannot be placed in the villa area.

Therefore, a large supermarket has opened inside the community; you will need to find its location yourself.

The supermarket will retain the Safe House features of the original villa; you will be sheltered as soon as you arrive at the supermarket, which also has a good food supply.

So please act quickly and arrive at the supermarket early to gain an advantage; otherwise, if you arrive slowly, the food may already be sold out.

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful second day. Keep going!

The broadcast has ended.

Luo Di immediately gave a preliminary analysis of the current situation:

"The Safe House setup in this supermarket is intended to concentrate all participants in one area on the second day."

If that's the case, the Third Day will probably see us fight amongst ourselves, or like now, the restrictions on Safe House will be lifted, allowing zombies to storm into the supermarket—a classic zombie horror movie plot.

In any case, the supermarket is currently the only viable option. We need to get there as soon as possible and secure an area or a shop as our base.

Moreover, we should be able to move around more easily than the other participants.

Based on the nine keys we obtained yesterday, we can use different villas as relocation bases. Although the villas can be destroyed, at least we can catch our breath inside and check the surroundings through the second-floor windows to pinpoint the supermarket's location.

"Miss Yu Lu, let's prepare to depart."

Luo Di arranged the nine keys in order of proximity and strung them together with a thin thread so that he could open the door faster.

In this light, yesterday's strategy of constantly killing zombies to find the key was correct. Since the topic is related to zombies, killing zombies is undoubtedly the right choice.

Luo Di was already prepared, his right hand gripping the hilt of his knife, his left arm covered in spikes.

As he arrived at the door, Yu Lu floated directly behind Luo Di.

"Luo Di, I don't have the ability to kill multiple people when I'm immune to spirits. Although I can barely do it, it will consume too much energy, so it's not worth it."

"Can I handle the frontal assault? I'll only deal with the zombies chasing us from behind."

"No problem." Luo Di nodded in confirmation without any hesitation. "Leave the front to me. Miss Yu Lu just needs to keep the domain open and make sure no other contestants, especially the clown, get close."

"By the way, do you have any way to stick me to your back? I have almost no weight, so that would save me from floating. For example, you could use the wire that was stuck into the back of my hand last night to tie my body."

"Can."

Two metal straps with spikes were quickly constructed.

Because it Tool Construction, the straps themselves had spikes that were inserted directly into Yu Lu's body, hanging her on his back like a schoolbag, keeping them back to back.

Indeed, as the other party said, Yu Lu's weight was estimated to be just over 30 pounds, so she had no burden at all.

Yu Lu, whose body was pierced by spikes, showed some expression and seemed to have regained some energy.

Huff... Luo Di took a deep breath.

With a series of creaking sounds, tentacles covered his eyeballs. Luo Di maintained his color perception within a ten-meter range, pushed open the door, and officially set off with his specially made Yu Lu backpack on his back.

But when the released grayness outlines the situation within a ten-meter radius in the brain.

Even Luo Di, who was prepared, was taken aback for a moment.

There are way too many zombies. It seems that not only all the residents of the community have come out to play, but some have even brought their families.

This is no longer the time to consider energy expenditure and hunger/satiety.

It's a question of whether or not one can survive.

Without any hesitation, Luo Di unleashed his strongest power, his Old Spine slowly protruding from the center of his back, so much so that Yu Lu, who was being used as a schoolbag, could clearly feel this special sensation.

This was different from what she knew about the spine.

Passionate yet profound.

Vibrant yet ancient,

For some reason, even though this Old Spine had no spikes, she had a very obvious tactile sensation, which even made her whole body tremble slightly, a tingling, indescribable feeling.

In addition, the neighborhood, which was originally illuminated by streetlights, now has an extra special light: moonlight shining down.

Any zombie illuminated by the moonlight will be Gray Mark and will appear in Luo Di's brain... On the night of the full moon, the slaughter begins.

steady breathing.

The sound of a chainsaw striking flesh.

The metallic clang of chains and traps

Luo Di really did fight his way out from the front.

If you encounter a situation where you can't avoid being bitten or clawed by a zombie, the hanging rope will appear, causing the zombie to deviate from its original path and willingly put its neck into the rope.

Click!

He took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

Luo Di fought his way through more than a hundred meters to reach the second temporary villa.

The gate was temporarily locked with iron chains. Luo Di sat on the ground, panting heavily. Even though he had just eaten canned meat, he was already feeling a little hungry.

"Luo Di, you rest here for a while, I'll go upstairs to check the situation outside."

"Good."

Yu Lu drifted away.

Luo Di, sitting by the door, always had his Chainsaw Blade in his hand.

He could hear a large number of zombies ramming against the door, and their claws had even torn open some of the wooden boards sealing the windows. The villa would fall in less than ten minutes.

Luo Di didn't care.

His biggest worry was the Joker; as long as that guy didn't cause trouble at this crucial moment, everything would be fine.

Moreover, Luo Di himself noticed some changes after the recent zombie massacre, some changes originating from the Pituitary Space.

He is currently collecting materials to open the door; any monster corpses that are killed will be collected as "conscious manifestations" falling into the Pituitary Space.

The fat pig servant that Juan brought earlier is also here.

However, zombies, which are not monsters, should have been filtered out, since they are not building materials.

But as they hacked and slashed their way through the zombies today, nearly thirty of them were killed in succession.

Another item appeared in Luo Di's Pituitary Space.

A mutilated zombie arm, only a short part at the front, and even the fingers are not fully developed.

But it seems that as long as Luo Di continues to slaughter zombies, the arm will be completed, and it may even be able to complete other parts of the body, eventually forming a complete corpse.

It might form a special structural material that is of great significance to the Gate of Demon Ascension.

Having confirmed this, Luo Di's subsequent battle plan was slightly altered.
