At this very moment, the zombies surrounding Lin Zhiluo had all scattered, and none of them cared about his whereabouts anymore.

Now is the time!

He leaped lightly and landed on the ground.

The excellent material of the Boots of Gale reduced the sound of his landing to a minimum.

This faint landing sound did not attract the attention of any zombies at all.

Following the back door, Lin Zhiluo saw the scene of densely packed zombies scrambling and roaring in the corner where the raw meat had fallen.

And this corner was symmetrical to the main entrance of the table tennis hall.

Lin Zhiluo immediately activated the Sprint skill attached to the Boots of Gale.

In an instant, a special power surged into his body, and he felt his entire being become light as a feather.

The ten seconds of Sprint time were exceptionally precious.

Lin Zhiluo opened his legs and sprinted with all his might.

One second, he rushed into the back door.

Two seconds, he dashed into the table tennis hall.

Five seconds, he burst out of the main entrance of the table tennis hall.

The layout of the gymnasium hall had long been memorized by Lin Zhiluo.

This process was smooth and fluid, without any delay whatsoever.

Before those zombies frantically fighting over the raw meat could even react, Lin Zhiluo had already vanished without a trace.

At this time, Lin Zhiluo had already arrived at the emergency exit of the gymnasium.

For a gymnasium equipped with direct elevators and escalators for easy movement between floors, the emergency exit was clearly a place few people visited.

Sure enough, after he pushed open the door to the emergency exit, he discovered that there wasn't a single zombie inside.

He closed the door to the emergency exit and began to catch his breath.

That short burst of high-speed running had consumed quite a bit of his stamina.

Fortunately, he was fast enough that no zombies had noticed him.

Lin Zhiluo glanced at his watch; the time had already reached seven o'clock in the evening.

In one more hour, night would descend completely.

The attributes of the zombies would also receive a massive boost.

By then, it would not be as easy as it was now.

Therefore, he had to quickly find a place to stay and then wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning to take action again.

As for resting directly here in the emergency exit.

Although there were no zombies here now, if the zombies became active at night, it would be very easy for them to get in.

After all, the doors to the emergency exit were at most only ajar and would open with a single push.

Lin Zhiluo rested for nearly 20 minutes, and only after ensuring he had sufficient combat capability did he begin to move again.

He slowed his pace and started heading upstairs.

It didn't take much effort to reach the second floor.

The stairs leading to the third floor were close at hand, but Lin Zhiluo did not choose to go up to the third floor.

This was because the third-floor exit of the emergency stairwell and the warehouse he wanted to go to were at the far right and far left ends respectively.

If he wanted to open the Silver Treasure Chest now, he would have to fight his way from the far right of the corridor all the way to the far left.

Neither time nor stamina would allow Lin Zhiluo to do such a thing.

Therefore, Lin Zhiluo pushed open the second-floor emergency exit door instead.

The entire second floor was quiet, with only a small number of zombies remaining.

It seemed the commotion from earlier had attracted a large number of zombies to the first floor.

These few zombies did not notice Lin Zhiluo, who had slipped in from the emergency exit.

The layout of the second floor of the gymnasium was also very simple.

Larger venues such as the badminton hall and basketball hall were all located on the second floor.

Lin Zhiluo had previously set his target on the infirmary on the second floor.

For one, it was relatively close to the emergency exit.

For another, the infirmary had beds, plenty of space, and he could scavenge for some medicine.

He walked cautiously in the direction of the infirmary.

He had already taken out the key to the infirmary earlier and was clutching it in his hand.

There were very few zombies on the second floor to begin with.

Lin Zhiluo also knew the visual range of the zombies like the back of his hand.

The Boots of Gale were also able to dampen the sound of his footsteps quite effectively.

Therefore, one could witness a scene like this.

Even though a person was walking down the hallway, the zombies in the corridor acted as if they were "blind" to him.

Little did they know, this was Lin Zhiluo using his flashy footwork to walk within the "blind spots" of the zombies' surveillance.

Not only that, but Lin Zhiluo also pulled off an even flashier maneuver.

He silently approached the back of a zombie.

Waiting for the split second the zombie turned its head, he struck decisively, swinging his Tang Dao.

This sudden, unannounced slash severed the zombie's head clean off.

Lin Zhiluo instantly stowed the Tang Dao into his storage space.

Then, with lightning-fast reflexes, he reached out his left hand to catch the head before it could hit the floor.

His right hand steadied the headless corpse as it began to collapse.

He then gently placed the head and the body onto the ground.

Throughout this entire process, not a single sound was made.

The other zombies continued to wander aimlessly, completely unaware that their companion was already lying on the ground.

Finally, Lin Zhiluo bent down to pick up the card dropped by the zombie and walked away with a flourish.

[Raw Meat Infected by Zombie Virus]

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.

Just like that, he had obtained another "Zombie Lure."

Lin Zhiluo had now arrived at the entrance of the infirmary.

The infirmary door was tightly shut.

Lin Zhiluo stepped forward and tugged on the handle, discovering that it was indeed locked.

Although he had prepared a key in advance.

It was still quite strange.

The apocalypse had descended at seven o'clock.

Logically speaking, it would have been impossible for the infirmary to be locked at that time.

Unless...

It had been locked by someone after the apocalypse began.

Lin Zhiluo analyzed the situation in an instant.

He frowned, hoping the people inside would behave themselves.

"Click."

The infirmary door lock was opened.

The infirmary was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhiluo's mouth.

Then, acting as if he had noticed nothing, he walked into the infirmary.

He even locked the infirmary door behind him as he entered.

Everything before Lin Zhiluo's eyes was shrouded in darkness.

When suddenly entering a dark environment, human eyes need a moment to adapt.

At this moment, a small knife suddenly lunged out from the darkness.

At the same time, a low male voice spoke up: "Who are you, and how do you have the key to the infirmary?"
