The earth spike that had just burst out hadn't fazed the fearless zombies.
They kept sprinting forward.
So an even bigger surprise was coming!
As the ground trembled, spike after spike burst up from the earth ahead.
The massive spikes broke through the ground at an unimaginable speed, impaling the sprinting zombies from foot to head.
Blood splattered everywhere, and chunks of flesh filled the air.
Lin Zhiluo had lured all the zombies into a straight line.
And he had perfectly timed and aimed Earth Spike Assault.
The result was—
Every zombie along the line!
Every zombie within the spikes' range!
Not a single one survived!
[Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a level 2 zombie. Received 2 experience points and 3 Gold Coins.] [Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a level 3 zombie. Received 3 experience points and 5 Gold Coins.] [Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a level 2 zombie. Received 2 experience points and 3 Gold Coins.] ...
In an instant, more than twenty notifications flooded the screen.
Lin Zhiluo's experience bar was rising at a visible rate.
Four items glowing with a blue light had also dropped ahead!
Equipment with an attached skill had a very special effect.
The first time its attached skill was used, its power and effect were at their peak!
That was because, when the equipment dropped, the system had infused the skill with energy.
After the skill was used once, it needed to be recharged with the player's own mental energy.
Only then would its power return to normal.
Even so, Lin Zhiluo had never imagined Earth Spike Assault's first use would be this powerful.
A level 20 Mage might be able to pull off this kind of damage.
At any rate, he'd made a fortune this time.
Before the spikes could retract into the ground,
Lin Zhiluo ignored the blood and chunks of flesh covering the ground and started rummaging through them.
He didn't have time to examine the blue equipment and items, so he shoved them straight into his Storage Space.
He couldn't be bothered to pick up the cards on the ground.
It wasn't that he'd gotten cocky. There were still zombies rushing into the Ping Pong Hall behind him.
The dozen or so spikes in the ground slowly retracted.
The zombies began charging forward again, one after another.
Lin Zhiluo picked up every piece of blue equipment and every item he could see.
"Time to scram!"
Seeing the zombies about to reach him, Lin Zhiluo promptly retreated and ran toward the back door he'd come through.
He quickly reached the doorway and slammed the door shut.
The zombies behind him didn't give up. They slammed into the back door in a swarm.
Under the impact of more than a dozen zombies, the door soon gave way and crashed down.
The zombies rushed through the doorway.
But to their confusion, the man who'd been so obnoxiously arrogant—the one who'd killed dozens of their companions—had vanished without a trace!
The zombies didn't give up.
They milled around, trying to find even the slightest trace of the man.
But, strangely enough, he really had disappeared completely!
The zombies searched for ten minutes before finally giving up.
Some returned to the Ping Pong Hall, while others wandered around in circles.
"Phew." Only then did Lin Zhiluo let out a sigh of relief.
He was standing on a small ledge above the sports center's back door.
The ledge was just wide enough for him to stand on sideways, with both feet turned to the side.
There were plenty of zombies below.
Lin Zhiluo didn't hurry down. Instead, he inspected the five Bronze items he'd just obtained.
Two familiar Eye of Investigation items.
And two identical Short-range Launchers.
[Short-range Launcher]: A one-time-use Bronze item that can launch an object small enough to fit inside it to a designated location. The location must be within 30 meters.
Beautiful!
Lin Zhiluo let out a long sigh of relief.
With this thing, he'd be able to get back into the sports center soon.
It could steer objects around corners, so he could easily drop something in a corner.
He just needed to know the layout.
Lin Zhiluo took out the fifth item.
It was a pair of shoes glowing blue. They had a simple design and were engraved with magical patterns resembling wings.
Could these be another piece of equipment with an attached skill?
Lin Zhiluo quickly checked their attributes.
[Boots of Gale]: Bronze-grade equipment. Shoes that can summon a gale.
Attributes: +1 Constitution, +1 Agility. Reduces the sound of footsteps.
Attached Skill: Sprint: Increases the wearer's movement speed by 20% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour.
When Lin Zhiluo saw that the Boots of Gale also had an attached skill, he was thrilled.
But after reading the skill description, his expression immediately returned to normal.
Well, the effect was only so-so.
Despite saying that, Lin Zhiluo honestly took off his sneakers.
Balancing on one foot, he somehow managed to put on the blue Boots of Gale.
The system adjusted the shoes to fit him perfectly, and they were very comfortable.
Lin Zhiluo could clearly feel his body becoming lighter.
After putting on the shoes, he checked his base attributes.
Base Attributes: Strength: 18; Spirit: 18; Constitution: 12; Agility: 18
Even an ordinary person who reached level ten couldn't possibly have attributes like these!
Unless they'd successfully changed classes.
But by the time they managed to change classes, Lin Zhiluo was certain he'd already have done so himself.
Then let's set a small goal: after changing classes, have twice the attributes of an ordinary person at the same level!
Having set himself a small goal, Lin Zhiluo was full of motivation.
He glanced at the zombies still wandering below.
He took out the Short-range Launcher he'd just obtained.
Then he took a card out of his Storage Space.
[Raw Meat Soaked in Zombie Virus]
This was the perfect combination.
He could use the Short-range Launcher to send the meat to a designated spot and draw a large number of zombies over.
Then he could take advantage of the chaos to get inside the sports center.
With his plan in place,
Lin Zhiluo began operating the Short-range Launcher with practiced ease.
Once he'd adjusted all its settings, he activated the card in his hand.
The raw meat appeared in Lin Zhiluo's hand.
The nearby zombies stirred. They'd caught the scent of their favorite food.
Lin Zhiluo didn't waste any time. He loaded the meat into the Short-range Launcher and activated it.
"Thump!"
A muffled sound rang out.
The meat shot forward, floating through the air as if someone were pulling it along.
It first curved around and slipped through the back entrance, then continued into the Ping Pong Hall, sailed over obstacle after obstacle, and landed in a corner.
It was exactly 30 meters from where it had been launched.
While the meat was still in flight, all the nearby zombies had already been drawn to it.
They leaped frantically beneath the meat, yearning for it.
They didn't care even when they bumped into one another.
