And so, after casually taking out another zombie, Lin Zhiluo
made his way to the passageway he had picked out from the start.
However, he didn't act rashly.
That passageway wasn't the only place zombies might come from.
There could also be zombies in the men's and women's restrooms behind him.
If a fight broke out and two zombies came rushing out, things could get ugly.
So Lin Zhiluo followed the passageway to the sinks beside the restrooms.
First, he listened carefully at the men's restroom door.
He heard slow footsteps inside.
With his Tang Dao in hand, Lin Zhiluo entered the men's restroom and, sure enough, saw a zombie wandering back and forth.
The zombie had probably mutated while using the toilet.
It hadn't even had time to pull up its pants, which were still around its knees.
When it saw Lin Zhiluo enter, the zombie immediately grew excited and charged at him.
But it took such a huge step that it forgot its legs were tangled in its pants.
With a thud, it tripped and fell to the ground.
Lin Zhiluo was more than a little annoyed.
Why couldn't it just fight normally? Why pull a stunt like that?
And now it had made quite a racket falling down.
Lin Zhiluo ignored the zombie, which was struggling to get back up.
He leaned out and glanced toward the passageway.
Seeing that the noise hadn't attracted any zombies, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he finished off the "idiot zombie" with one slash.
After putting away the card, Lin Zhiluo carefully searched the men's restroom again.
Apart from a severed arm on the floor and an eyeball in the sink, there was nothing else inside.
He had to admit, the survival rate among the people in this gymnasium was really low.
But it was understandable. Most people who came to a gymnasium were in pretty good shape.
After turning into zombies, their stats increased even more.
For ordinary players, that was a disaster.
After finishing his search of the men's restroom, Lin Zhiluo turned and entered the women's restroom.
As soon as he stepped inside, Lin Zhiluo quickly looked around.
The layout was about the same as the other women's restrooms he'd visited.
Ahem, don't get the wrong idea. Every women's restroom I've been to was visited after the apocalypse.
After all, restrooms were great places to hide.
Lin Zhiluo didn't let his guard down.
He began checking the stalls one by one.
When he reached the second-to-last stall, Lin Zhiluo saw that its door was locked.
And when he pushed against the second-to-last stall door,
two roars came from inside.
???
Two roars, and they sounded different!
Could it be...
Lin Zhiluo bent down and, just as he'd expected, saw four feet.
Two were in front, and two were behind.
The pair in the back were clearly a man's feet.
Good grief, you two are incredible—like a bull opening the gate for a heifer. You've really outdone yourselves.
The two of you were getting frisky in the women's restroom of the Modu Gymnasium?
When it came to knowing how to have fun, you city folk sure had it figured out.
The two zombies began pounding on the stall door after being "interrupted."
Worried they'd make too much noise, Lin Zhiluo promptly slashed through the lock with his Tang Dao and pulled the door open.
A shocking sight appeared before Lin Zhiluo.
Two gray-skinned zombies were pressed tightly together.
The female zombie was in front, the male zombie behind her, their bodies pressed tightly together.
If not for the zombie's rolled-back eyes and blood-smeared mouth, Lin Zhiluo would have thought it was an extremely beautiful scene.
What was more, the moment they saw Lin Zhiluo, both zombies moved their legs.
The female zombie moved her left leg, and the male zombie moved his left leg.
The two zombies seemed to share a telepathic connection; their steps, direction, and movements were exactly the same.
Then both zombies swung their right claws at Lin Zhiluo at the same time.
Lin Zhiluo whipped his blade around and took out the "doomed, lovey-dovey couple."
[Congratulations to player "Yazi" for killing two level 2 zombies. Gained four experience points and five Gold Coins]
Both zombies' heads hit the ground at the same time.
But their bodies stayed standing, balanced by their four legs.
Even without their heads, they still didn't come apart.
Lin Zhiluo was stunned.
He didn't even pick up the Bronze item that had dropped, and he couldn't be bothered to wonder why he'd only heard one notification despite an item dropping.
Lin Zhiluo hurriedly pulled out his beat-up old phone and snapped away at the two headless corpses.
He even took several close-ups.
This really was a once-in-a-lifetime sight. In ten years of the apocalypse, Lin Zhiluo had never encountered such a bizarre pair of zombies.
But then Lin Zhiluo suddenly remembered something.
Modu, the gymnasium, two zombies, the male zombie's height, the female zombie's height...
The more he looked, the more they resembled the famous "Zombie Couple."
The Zombie Couple were two beings whose strength was second only to the Zombie Emperor.
And the two zombies were inseparable, with incredible teamwork.
Working together, the pair could hold their own against either the War God or the Zombie Emperor.
The Zombie Couple had first been discovered in the Modu Gymnasium.
And according to the height recorded in the books, there was no difference between them and the two zombies Lin Zhiluo had seen.
So these really were the "Zombie Couple," huh?
Who would've thought you two would have it so rough in this life? It was only the third day of the apocalypse, and I'd already taken you out.
Lin Zhiluo took nearly a hundred photos before finally putting his phone away, satisfied.
Then he bent down and picked up the dropped item. It was a stone glimmering with a cyan light.
[Fusion Stone (Bronze rank)]: A one-time-use Bronze-rank item. It can fuse two Bronze-rank pieces of equipment of the same type to create a new piece of equipment, and it has a good chance of raising the equipment's rank to Silver.
Lin Zhiluo was delighted. He'd gotten something good!
No wonder the two zombies had only dropped one item. So the two of you had fused together.
Lin Zhiluo put the Fusion Stone into his Storage Space.
He hadn't even collected all his equipment yet, let alone found two pieces of the same type.
Hopefully, the next zombie would drop a good weapon, and then I can fuse it with my Tang Dao.
Lin Zhiluo didn't touch the two headless corpses leaning against each other, still Standing Tall.
Instead, he opened the door to the last stall in the women's restroom.
Then he froze.
A Bronze Treasure Chest sat quietly beside the toilet.
The chest was carved with delicate, intricate, mysterious patterns.
Beneath it was a glowing Mark, similar to a Hexagram, spinning nonstop.
"Holy crap, I'm on a ridiculous lucky streak today. I even found a wild Bronze Treasure Chest." Lin Zhiluo couldn't help exclaiming.
Then he crouched down and placed his hand on the chest.
