Hunting War God

"Who killed her?" Li Haobo asked in return.

"How would I know who killed her?" he replied, looking completely bewildered.

"Young Master, I have already investigated this dead woman. She was a very ordinary person from a very ordinary family."

"Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to have provoked someone with such formidable strength. The only unique point about this woman is her connection to you, Young Master, so I suspect that whatever happened to her is likely related to you," the man in black analyzed calmly.

"That's true. Yao Jinghan was nothing more than a very ordinary school beauty. If it weren't for her connection to that loser, I wouldn't have even looked at her twice," Li Haobo agreed, equally puzzled.

"Could it be... that loser?" Li Haobo wondered, his thoughts drifting to Lin Zhiluo.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. He is just an orphan without a father or mother; how could he possibly possess the formidable strength you described?" Li Haobo quickly discarded this absurd idea.

"Besides, I haven't even sent him the big surprise I prepared yet. There is no way he could know that Yao Jinghan betrayed him," Li Haobo denied it once more.

"Young Master, who are you talking about?" the man in black frowned and asked.

"It's that Lin Zhiluo, the one who didn't die," Li Haobo explained.

"Is he Lin Jian's son?" the man in black asked, as if recalling someone.

"Yes, that's him," Li Haobo confirmed the man in black's words.

"Logically, it couldn't be him either. He has no abilities whatsoever, and this kind of killing technique is something that can't be achieved without killing thousands of people and decades of bitter training," the man in black also deemed it impossible.

"However, it is possible that this kid stumbled upon some fortuitous encounter and hired some special expert to help him," the man in black continued his analysis.

"No, Young Master. Whoever's man it is, it is unlikely they would go to such lengths just to kill a Yao Jinghan. It is very likely they will come for you next."

"Facing such a top-tier assassin, the hundred or so men I have with me might not be enough. We need more security personnel," the man in black suggested.

"What? Uncle Rong, you aren't enough? You are one of the top ten experts in the Dragon Kingdom, not to mention you have an entire mercenary group with you."

Li Haobo was shocked. Only now did he realize the terrifying nature of that potential enemy.

"Young Master, I said it before: what even the world's number one assassin couldn't do, he did. This enemy is terrifying to the extreme," the man in black said solemnly.

"Fine, fine, then hurry to the back mountain and pick out more bodyguards for me, even if they haven't finished their final training. I don't want to die! I must not die! I will definitely not die!" Li Haobo panicked.

"Very well, don't worry, Young Master. With me here, I will protect you even if it costs me my life," the man in black said.

From the moment they were born, they had been subjected to countless rounds of brainwashing.

In their consciousness, they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the Li Family.

[Congratulations to player "Yazi" for successfully killing a level 3 zombie, gaining three experience points and five gold coins]

[Congratulations to the player for reaching level 8, gaining 1 free attribute point]

Lin Zhiluo put away his Tang Dao.

In front of him lay three zombies whose heads had just been severed.

"Phew, finally level eight. But this speed is much faster than I anticipated. I thought I wouldn't reach level eight until the fourth night after the Doomsday Game descended."

"But this is fine too. With my level skyrocketing, I won't need to go looking for dungeon entrances to participate in them," Lin Zhiluo said with a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was rushing toward the Li Family Manor without stopping.

Along the way, aside from grabbing a piece of bread and a pancake for a quick lunch, he spent the rest of his time traveling and scavenging for items.

Because he specifically chose remote routes, he encountered very few zombies.

Of course, he didn't let any of the few he did encounter go.

After all, he was still a few dozen experience points away from leveling up.

Finally, just as Lin Zhiluo was arriving at the foot of the mountain where the Li Family Villa was located, he had killed enough zombies to reach level eight.

"Add it to Strength," Lin Zhiluo decided.

At this moment, his Strength had already reached 24 points.

After adding the attribute, he looked up at Gu Mountain ahead.

It was hard to imagine that in the land-scarce Modu, the Li Family could actually transform the entire Gu Mountain into their own private manor.

The intersection at the foot of the mountain originally had several checkpoints set up.

Because of the arrival of the Doomsday Game, these checkpoints had been abandoned.

Moreover, because Yao Jinghan's body had been discovered, all of the Li Family's security forces had been deployed outside the manor, making the defense even tighter.

Lin Zhiluo did not rush up the mountain.

A qualified assassin must always scout the surrounding environment before formulating a plan.

He circled the main road of Gu Mountain and observed for a while.

From the exterior, there was only one road that led directly to the manor.

As for secret passages, after a bit of searching, he discovered the exit of one.

It was located in a dense forest.

Lin Zhiluo did not choose to block the Li Family's secret passage right now.

If he didn't leave a loophole, how could he wipe them all out in one go?

This was one of the famous military strategies of the Dragon Kingdom—"surround the enemy, but leave an opening."

Only by giving these people a glimmer of hope, a place to escape, would they not truly choose to fight to the death, and would they not concentrate their strength to resist.

And through constant pursuit, Lin Zhiluo would be able to devour them all completely.

However, the layout of the Li Family's manor did indeed cause his plan to change.

Originally, Lin Zhiluo intended to divert the disaster, using [raw meat infected with zombie virus] to attract a large number of zombies to consume the Li Family's security forces.

But the zombies within a one-kilometer radius were already very scarce, and they had all been cleared out by the people sent by the Li Family.

This made it difficult for Lin Zhiluo's plan to be realized.

Things always have pros and cons.

Although he could not divert the disaster, it also prevented his nighttime operations from being disturbed by zombies.

It wasn't that he couldn't defeat zombies bolstered by the night attribute.

If he spent all his energy on clearing out zombies, how could he make Li Haobo feel pain?

Lin Zhiluo found a very hidden spot in a forest near the Li Family manor at the top of the mountain.

He began to observe the security situation of the Li Family through the binoculars he had obtained.

He saw that all the various passages leading to the interior of the manor were already guarded by a large number of personnel.

Moreover, these people were extremely vigilant.

It was evident that they were all battle-hardened individuals with genuine skill.

"Hunting Mercenary Group!"

Lin Zhiluo instantly recognized his old enemies.

Back when he was on the run, he had been surrounded and hunted by members of the Hunting Mercenary Group more than once.

Because this mercenary group could be considered Li Haobo's true direct subordinates.

Every single member among them was a loyal death soldier whom the Li Family had brainwashed and cultivated since childhood.

They were powerful and unwavering in their loyalty.

As for the faces, movements, expressions, tactics, and habits of these people, Lin Zhiluo could say he knew them like the back of his hand.

In that case, it would be much easier to target them.

To outsiders, the defensive layout looked like a wall of bronze and iron.

In Lin Zhiluo's eyes, however, there were still quite a few loopholes.

But Lin Zhiluo would not feel arrogant just because he was familiar with his opponents.

His cautious nature made him observe the movements of the Hunting Mercenary Group and the layout of the environment over and over again.

Finally, at 6:00 PM, when the sky was about to turn dark.

Lin Zhiluo saw a very familiar old acquaintance walk out of the manor and begin directing the Hunting Mercenary Group to change their defensive tactics.
