Rong Zhan, one of the Dragon Kingdom's War Gods—the Hunting War God.
Before the apocalypse, he had been the leader of the Hunting Mercenary Group, which had spent years fighting in war zones. The Li Family had direct control over the group.
He excelled at all kinds of close-quarters combat, commanding the mercenary group, and tracking targets.
After the apocalypse, when the entire Hunting Mercenary Group failed to capture Lin Zhiluo, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
He had driven Lin Zhiluo into desperate situations time and again.
He could be called one of Lin Zhiluo's greatest enemies.
Of course, Lin Zhiluo was also Rong Zhan's greatest disgrace.
After all, looking across the entire world, Lin Zhiluo was the only person ever to escape Rong Zhan, shattering his legend as a hunter.
As the saying went, when enemies met, their eyes blazed with hatred.
The moment Lin Zhiluo saw Rong Zhan, his gaze turned icy.
But he promptly put away his binoculars and hid himself in the darkness again.
Rong Zhan was explaining the defensive positions to the mercenary group when he suddenly grew alert.
His skin prickled all over, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
For an instant, he caught the scent of death.
But less than a fraction of a second later, the feeling vanished completely.
Even Rong Zhan wondered if he had imagined it.
"Phew, good thing I reacted fast." Lin Zhiluo let out a long breath.
As an old adversary, how could Lin Zhiluo not know how sensitive Rong Zhan was to threats and killing intent?
So the moment he saw Rong Zhan, Lin Zhiluo put away his binoculars and concealed every trace of his presence.
Still, for the first time in a long while, he felt the blood in his veins boiling.
The thrill of meeting an old rival, of finding himself evenly matched.
It made Lin Zhiluo eager to show off his full strength.
Rong Zhan would undoubtedly die in this showdown.
And once Rong Zhan was dead!
He would cut off one of the Li Family's most important arms.
How could Lin Zhiluo let such a good opportunity slip away?
With that thought,
Lin Zhiluo settled into a quiet wait.
He began sorting through his cards, supplies, and every resource he might need.
Only by getting a clear picture of everything he had could he make his moves methodically.
Once he had everything and every plan in order,
Lin Zhiluo began waiting for nightfall.
Only with enough patience could he strike at just the right moment.
Time passed, little by little.
The sky gradually darkened.
The Li Family's imposing security measures continued to shift and change.
The midnight bells rang out.
The Li Family estate was brightly lit.
"Brother Rong, can I go to bed? It's already midnight—deep into the night. With the zombies so active outside, who's going to come after me now?" Li Haobo asked helplessly.
"Young Master, it's better to be cautious. My instincts tell me we're definitely being watched." Rong Zhan stood to one side, unmoved by Li Haobo's words.
His years of combat had given Rong Zhan an uncanny battle instinct.
Even though Lin Zhiluo hadn't left a single trace, Rong Zhan still felt uneasy.
"I don't care. I'm so damn bored! You're making me stay up all night over some useless coward who won't even show his face," Li Haobo said angrily.
"Young Master, if you're bored, you could find yourself some amusement," the Silver-haired Butler behind Li Haobo suggested.
"Right, I need to find something fun to do!" Li Haobo exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.
Rong Zhan wanted to say something, but after glancing at the Silver-haired Butler, he ultimately kept quiet.
"By the way, Brother Rong, I heard you brought back a zombie today. Is that true?" Li Haobo asked after thinking for a while.
"That's right, Young Master. We caught a zombie to take back for research," Rong Zhan replied.
"There are zombies everywhere outside. Let me play with this one," Li Haobo said outright.
"If you want to play with it, Young Master, that's fine. I'm just worried it might hurt you," Rong Zhan said, not refusing him.
He thought using a zombie to keep the young master occupied was a good idea.
"Don't worry, don't worry. The way I'm going to play with it won't hurt me at all." Li Haobo laughed heartily.
Before long, they brought a zombie into the middle of the hall, its hands, feet, and mouth all restrained with metal devices.
It was a heavily muscled zombie, clearly in excellent physical condition.
It struggled frantically, but with its whole body locked in restraints, it couldn't move at all.
All it could do was glare at everyone around it with blood-red eyes.
"Go bring my big iron cage over here," Li Haobo said, visibly excited at the sight of the zombie.
Before long, more than a dozen bodyguards pushed a huge iron cage, easily twenty square meters in size, into the middle of the living room.
The cage was full of women.
Every one of them was exceptionally beautiful.
But they all looked as if their souls had left them, sitting in the cage with vacant eyes and dazed expressions.
Thick iron chains were fastened around their necks.
As the cage was pushed along, the women remained utterly still, as if they had given up struggling.
Li Haobo took out a little bell and gently shook it a few times.
The women in the middle of the cage reacted at once.
They rushed toward Li Haobo, only to be stopped by the bars.
The eerie sight made everyone's hair stand on end and sent chills down their spines.
No one could imagine what kind of inhuman torture these women must have suffered to become like this.
But Li Haobo wasn't satisfied at all.
"This is too boring. I've been playing with these women for months. I'm already sick of them."
"If this damn apocalypse hadn't happened, I would've sent my men out to the mountain villages to capture some fresh faces. Training fresh people is the only thing that gives me a thrill."
As Li Haobo spoke, he put on a wronged expression, like a child who hadn't gotten the toy he loved.
But in an instant, his expression changed.
Excitement crept across his face, and a bizarre smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"But it doesn't matter. These dogs can still make one last contribution." Li Haobo stood up, gesticulating wildly.
"Quick, throw the zombie in. Take off all their handcuffs and leg irons."
"I want to watch! I want to watch the zombie eat people!" Li Haobo grew more and more excited, even clapping his hands.
Everyone present except the Silver-haired Butler and the members of Rong Zhan's Hunting Squad looked unwilling.
They were going to let a vicious zombie kill a group of women.
Anyone with even the slightest bit of conscience—no, anyone with a heart—could never do something like this.
