The infusion room was behind the medical office. It had several small beds for patients receiving IVs.

Lin Zhiluo found a room that was something like a private infusion room and went inside.

He stuck an Eye of Investigation by the door of the small room, then finally lay down on the bed, reassured.

Lin Zhiluo brought up his status panel and looked it over.

He was just a little over twenty experience points away from reaching level six.

Killing a dozen or so zombies tomorrow would be enough to level up.

Then he checked the contents of his Storage Space again.

He made sure nothing had been left behind.

Finally, he opened the Golden Finger System panel.

[One Against A Hundred]: An excellent host needs to show off his strength. Kill one hundred zombies inside the Modu Gymnasium. There are no level restrictions. Quest progress: 45/100 Quest reward: Draw one random ordinary Golden Finger and receive one piece of Bronze-grade equipment. Time limit: 24 hours

At a glance, he still had fifty-five zombies left to kill.

He had six hours tomorrow morning, which gave him plenty of time to kill that many zombies.

With that in mind, Lin Zhiluo closed his eyes and fell asleep in all his gear.

At six in the morning, the alarm on the watch he had set the night before went off.

Lin Zhiluo's eyes snapped open.

He shook his head and was fully awake in just one second.

"Ugh, my alertness has slipped. Before, it took me less than a second," Lin Zhiluo said with a wry smile.

The Eye of Investigation on the ground was still active.

Lin Zhiluo walked straight out of the small room.

The infusion room was completely empty.

It seemed the four little workers he had hired had been exceptionally diligent.

Lin Zhiluo left the infusion room.

Sure enough, the two repairmen and Zhong Yexue were still working on the items in their hands.

Only the young nurse had fallen asleep, leaning against the wall.

But her dark circles made it clear she had worked hard all night.

Hearing Lin Zhiluo's footsteps, the three slowly raised their heads and looked at him.

"Not bad. You did a great job." Lin Zhiluo was impressed.

Those two repairmen had some real skill.

Some of the things they had made were almost exactly as he had described them on paper.

There was also a box on the floor containing the medicine Lin Zhiluo needed.

Lin Zhiluo made a rough estimate.

These items and medicines, along with his Tang Dao and other odds and ends, would be enough to fill his Storage Space to the brim.

"All right, you can stop now. This is plenty," Lin Zhiluo said.

Only then did the three of them stop working.

Lin Zhiluo put everything away in his Storage Space, one item at a time.

Then, as the three watched expectantly, he took out some cards.

Even though the cards weren't activated, the three of them couldn't help swallowing when they saw them.

Lin Zhiluo wasn't stingy. After a moment's thought, he took out four cards.

The food from a Supply Card was far more filling than ordinary food.

Since they didn't need to fight, one card was enough to keep each of them going for a day.

"One for each of you. Fair price, fair deal." Lin Zhiluo stepped forward and handed them the cards.

He also gave the sleeping young nurse a gentle tap to wake her.

The two repairmen immediately thanked him sincerely.

Zhong Yexue also thanked him.

"No need to thank me. We each get what we need," Lin Zhiluo said with a wave of his hand.

That was the unfairness of having control over resources.

For Lin Zhiluo, four cards were no more than four zombies to kill.

If he'd had to sort the medicine and make the tools himself, it would have taken at least sixteen hours.

He could have done plenty of other things with those sixteen hours.

Of course, the four of them weren't getting a bad deal, either.

The cards were easy for Lin Zhiluo to obtain.

But for them, getting them so easily would have been impossible without killing hundreds of zombies or taking part in a Dungeon.

"Um, boss, how do we use these cards?" Zhong Yexue asked suddenly.

Lin Zhiluo laughed helplessly and taught them how to activate the cards.

Honestly, this Doomsday Game was ridiculous. It didn't even have a tutorial for beginners.

That reminded Lin Zhiluo that in his previous life, it had taken him several days just to learn how to open his Storage Space.

He took out three cards for himself and began enjoying a delicious, generous breakfast.

Zhong Yexue and the others discussed it for a while, then took out two cards and started on their hard-won breakfast.

Even so, the four of them were so excited that tears nearly came to their eyes.

They had finally eaten something, after almost three days!

Once they'd eaten and drunk their fill, the four of them needed to catch up on sleep.

Lin Zhiluo, meanwhile, was getting ready to set out.

He had done Zhong Yexue a favor, in a way.

He told them to get ready to leave at around noon.

By then, he expected to have cleared out most of the zombies.

Lin Zhiluo didn't tell them that was why.

Whether they took his advice or believed him was entirely up to them.

He turned off the lights in the medical office.

Lin Zhiluo put away the thick cloth.

Then he looked outside through the glass above.

There were more zombies outside than there had been last night.

Lin Zhiluo counted the zombies within sight.

There were more than ten.

They wouldn't be hard to deal with, but he couldn't make too much noise.

It would be a problem if he drew the hundred or so zombies on the first floor over.

Lin Zhiluo surveyed the terrain again.

The corridor leading to the public restroom looked like a good spot.

The corridor was about ten meters long and roughly two meters wide.

If Lin Zhiluo stood in the middle, he would have a good chance of taking down all the zombies there.

Most importantly, he wouldn't have to run around.

He'd also make much less noise.

With his plan in place, Lin Zhiluo didn't hesitate. He quietly opened the medical office door and went out.

After closing the door behind him, he went into his slick-movement mode again.

First, he bent over, lowering himself to just the right angle to stay out of the taller zombies' line of sight.

But his crouched posture didn't affect his pace or speed in the slightest.

He also found the best position based on where each zombie was standing.

Then he used various obstacles to stay out of the other zombies' sight.

Even so, Lin Zhiluo wasn't satisfied.

Using the same approach as the night before, he found the zombie closest to him and killed it with one slash.

Then he gently lowered the corpse to the ground without making a sound.

[A Fishing Rod]

Well, it wasn't completely useless, at least.

The line on the fishing rod could still come in handy elsewhere.

Lin Zhiluo put the card away and continued on.

If anyone could have seen Lin Zhiluo's smooth, flowing movements, they would have thought he was a god.

Lin Zhiluo could say without exaggeration that, for now, he was the undisputed best in the world at stealth and assassination.

After all, before he was reborn, he had faced off against the man once hailed as the world's greatest assassin.

Even after surviving in the apocalypse for several years, that man hadn't been able to beat him. And Lin Zhiluo was even stronger now.
