There were no zombies in the immediate vicinity of the Ping Pong Hall table where Lin Zhiluo was currently located.
Therefore, he had plenty of time to wait for the zombies to arrive.
After a brief rest, the two fastest zombies had already reached the front of the ping pong table.
Lin Zhiluo struck first, taking advantage of his elevated position to kick the leading zombie right in the face.
The immense force caused the zombie to tilt backward, rolling a full circle on the ground.
The remaining zombie had its head unceremoniously severed by Lin Zhiluo.
At this moment, the opaque door of the Ping Pong Hall began to emit sounds of pounding and crashing.
"Damn it, the zombies' roars still attracted the attention of the ones outside," Lin Zhiluo said helplessly.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
"I'll make a strategic retreat once I finish off these zombies," Lin Zhiluo decided on his plan.
In any case, the closed doors of the Ping Pong Hall could still hold for a while.
Lin Zhiluo jumped off the ping pong table and walked quickly toward the zombie he had just kicked over.
Perhaps the impact was too great, as the zombie had yet to climb back to its feet.
With a vigorous swing of his blade, that zombie would never be getting up again.
At this very moment, only ten zombies capable of free movement remained inside the Ping Pong Hall.
With this number of zombies, Lin Zhiluo was confident that he could use his current agility and positioning to wear them down to death.
Thus, he used the gaps between the ping pong tables to play a game of hide-and-seek with them.
When a group of zombies lunged at him, Lin Zhiluo ducked directly under a table, emerged from the other side, and slashed at the zombie in the rear.
Whenever he was surrounded by zombies, he would leap onto a ping pong table and then jump to another.
After a fluid, seamless set of movements, five zombies were successfully eliminated.
However, most of Lin Zhiluo's stamina had been consumed by this point.
To have fought 17 zombies with the same base attributes and killed the majority of them in such a short time—no one would believe it if he told them.
Just as he was leaning against the edge of a table for a brief rest, he suddenly noticed a red vial at his feet.
It had dropped from the zombie he had just killed!
Lin Zhiluo treated it like a treasure, picked up the vial, and dodged a zombie lunging at him.
He then twisted off the cap and downed the red liquid inside in one gulp.
The sweet potion passed through Lin Zhiluo's mouth.
The delicious taste made him think, "I'll have another."
As the potion flowed into his body, a surge of new strength miraculously welled up within him.
His entire state recovered significantly.
[Stamina Potion]: A one-time use Bronze-grade item. Drinking it instantly restores 20% of stamina. Additionally, it restores 5% stamina every minute for the next 5 minutes. (There is a 30-minute cooldown after use.)
That's right, what Lin Zhiluo had drunk was the Stamina Potion, commonly known as the "Little Red Bottle."
The feeling of having stamina again was truly great.
Lin Zhiluo exhaled, then raised his Tang Dao and flung it out.
The cooldown for "Whirlwind Slash" had finally ended.
Although this Whirlwind Slash was not as precise as the last one, it still claimed the life of one zombie on the way out and another on the way back.
Lin Zhiluo also took this time to look down and search for items dropped by the slain zombies.
One card, two cards, three cards.
A bad start.
The three items Lin Zhiluo bent down to pick up were all Supply Cards.
The remaining three zombies were already within arm's reach.
After picking up the last item, which was glowing with a cyan light, he decisively ducked under the ping pong table.
He took out the item he had just grabbed and looked closely; it was an earthy-yellow bracelet.
The bracelet was imprinted with complex magical patterns and looked incredibly ornate.
[Spike Bracelet]: Bronze-grade equipment, a bracelet imbued with magic. Attributes: Spirit +1 Attached Skill: Spike Assault: Can summon a vertical row of spikes from the ground to deal a heavy blow to enemies in a line. Skill cooldown: 24 hours.
Holy crap, a piece of equipment with an attached skill.
I would say my luck is pretty good.
Jewelry-type equipment is far rarer than standard gear like shoes, pants, or shirts.
On the second day of the apocalypse, I had already collected all three types of jewelry: a ring, a necklace, and a bracelet.
Most importantly, it was a piece of jewelry that came with an attached skill.
It's worth its weight in gold!
Lin Zhiluo hurriedly put the bracelet on his wrist.
This thing automatically adjusted to the size of your wrist, which was convenient and hassle-free.
Checking the stats and putting on the bracelet had actually taken quite a bit of time.
The Ping Pong Hall table where Lin Zhiluo was located had already been completely surrounded by zombies.
However, Lin Zhiluo remained calm and unhurried, first using his Tang Dao to sever the legs of one zombie.
Then, he took advantage of the gap created by the falling zombie to slip out.
The remaining two zombies closed in on Lin Zhiluo.
Lin Zhiluo curled his lip, ducking to dodge the zombies' pounce.
He then finished off the legless zombie on the ground with two quick slashes.
Just then, the doors of the Ping Pong Hall collapsed to the ground with a loud "boom."
The zombies behind the doors began to squeeze into the Ping Pong Hall frantically.
Logically speaking, this situation called for Lin Zhiluo to make a strategic retreat.
Instead, he took the initiative and charged toward the incoming horde of zombies.
Just like that, with two zombies chasing from behind and countless more flooding in from the front, Lin Zhiluo was successfully sandwiched in the middle.
Facing this perilous situation, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stopped in his tracks, standing his ground, and waited quietly for the zombies to approach.
The zombies drew closer and closer.
Close enough for Lin Zhiluo to smell the nauseating stench on their bodies.
Close enough for nearly ten zombies to swing their sharp claws at him simultaneously.
Now was the moment; a flash of light crossed Lin Zhiluo's eyes.
He then kicked off the surface of the nearby ping pong table with all his might, launching himself temporarily into the air.
With a graceful backflip, he vaulted behind the two zombies that had been chasing him.
At this moment, all the zombies were lined up in a straight line in front of Lin Zhiluo.
Skill—Spike Assault
A yellowish-brown light flashed across the bracelet on Lin Zhiluo's wrist.
Immediately following, a shocking scene unfolded.
The ground in front began to tremble.
Suddenly, a massive spike formed from earth erupted from the ground, piercing directly through the zombie at the very front.
"Death."
[Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a Level 2 zombie, gaining 2 experience points and three gold coins.]
Is that the end of it?
Not at all!
The trembling of the ground continued, as if it were brewing an even greater power!
