The Doomsday Game Descends

"It's fine, no need to take anything off, just come over here," Lin Zhiluo said coldly while remaining on the bed.

"Oh, planning on some new tricks? You young people are really something. Fine, seeing as you're not bad-looking, I'll play along."

After saying this, the woman stepped over to the bedside in her high heels and plopped down onto the bed.

"Tell me, how do you want to play?" The woman stubbed out her cigarette and began to undress.

"No need. Just go take a shower, and you can leave right after," Lin Zhiluo said.

Lin Zhiluo had only asked the woman to come over because he wanted to observe whether she would turn into a zombie.

Sure enough, once she got close, he caught that strange scent.

Although it was faint, that smell was something only a zombie could emit.

As the arrival of the game drew closer, signs would begin to appear on those who were "lucky" enough to be chosen to become zombies.

"What a weirdo, no idea what you're thinking. But you said it yourself, I'm leaving after my shower, and I'm not refunding your money." The woman spat, then proceeded to strip without a shred of inhibition.

She then walked into the bathroom, naked and strutting.

Lin Zhiluo took out his phone; the time was already 6:59.

He climbed off the bed and fished the sharp, washed-clean dagger out of his backpack.

He then crept toward the bathroom door, hiding the dagger.

The woman, who was showering with her back to the door, heard the movement and said without turning around, "I knew you were into this kind of thing. If you're going to do it, hurry up; my legs are tired from standing."

"Ding~~~"

The alarm Lin Zhiluo had set for seven o'clock went off.

The woman suddenly froze in place.

Her skin began to turn gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the exact moment the alarm rang.

The dagger in Lin Zhiluo's hand had already thrust forward.

"Roar~"

The roar of the woman-turned-zombie hadn't even finished.

The dagger had already pierced through its throat.

A black "Death" floated above its head.

Lin Zhiluo let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the blue announcement panel arrived "fashionably late."

[Welcome to the "Doomsday Game"]

[Once this game is initiated, it will develop autonomously, and there is no way to interfere.]

[The cruel apocalypse has arrived. 80% of the unlucky souls in this world have already transformed into zombies. As for the remaining 20% of lucky ones, please enjoy the thrill of the game to your heart's content. Of course, the most important thing is to survive; after all, there are no second chances once you die.]

[The zombies in this world have sensitive hearing but dull vision; they can only track moving objects.]

[To improve your gaming experience, some game rules are introduced below.]

[1: Killing zombies or other zombie animals will increase your level and grant you new attribute points. Your gaming experience is closely tied to your level.]

[2: Killing zombies or other zombie animals has a chance to drop equipment, items, and supplies. The probability is very low; it all depends on your luck. I wonder if you're feeling lucky?]

[3: In the game, equipment, items, and other objects are categorized by grade, from lowest to highest: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Epic, Legendary, Mythical... As for higher grades, never mind, you won't be coming into contact with them anyway.]

[4: Various hidden opportunities have been scattered across the world. Please be sure to search carefully and thoroughly.]

[5: All modern technological weapons, including human firearms, artillery, and nuclear bombs, will lose their effectiveness. Please do not try to use them against zombies, including vehicles.]

[6: All communication devices currently in use by humans will be subject to interference and rendered unusable. However, you can keep your phone to read novels or play single-player games.]

[7: Zombies will evolve as time passes; please be sure to keep pace with their evolution. You will only turn into a zombie if you are scratched or bitten by one. Do not worry about the infectiousness of zombie blood. Also, the arrival of night will increase the base attributes of zombies and zombie animals; remember to hide.]

[8: There are many more tips, but never mind, let's wait until you survive the first seven days of the novice protection period. Take my advice: the current zombies are very weak, so kill as many as you can. Don't blame me later for not warning you.]

[Please remember, the Doomsday Game is full of unknowns and possibilities.]

[Finally, have a pleasant game.]

The text on the panel ended there.

Lin Zhiluo took a rough glance, realized the announcement was no different from what he remembered, and chose to close the page.

A new panel popped up.

[Hello, player "Lin Zhiluo," welcome to the Doomsday Game.]

[Would you like to set a game name?]

"Yes, set the game name to Yazi."

Yazi is one of the nine sons of the dragon in ancient Dragon Kingdom mythology, known for being bloodthirsty, fond of fighting, and a restraint against all evil.

However, Lin Zhiluo chose the name Yazi primarily for the sake of revenge.

As the saying goes, "A favor of a single meal must be repaid, and a grudge as small as a glance must be avenged."

Li Haobo, the Li Family, and all those who helped the Li Family hunt me down.

Are you ready to accept my revenge?

[Detected that player nickname "Yazi" is not taken, it can be used]

[Player "Lin Zhiluo" has successfully changed nickname to "Yazi"]

[Character creation complete, attribute panel loaded]

Lin Zhiluo opened his attribute panel.

Player: Yazi (No title yet)

Level: 1

Gold: 0

Storage Space: 0.1 cubic meters

Basic Attributes: Strength: 11 (Normal adult male is 10, affects physical strength and physical attack power)

Spirit: 15 (Normal adult male is 10, affects skill power, cooldowns, and usage frequency)

Constitution: 10 (Normal adult male is 10, affects vitality and defense)

Agility: 13 (Normal adult male is 10, affects reaction time and speed)

Talent: [Omnipotent Mastery]: Epic-tier talent, you understand many combat styles and can skillfully utilize various basic abilities.

Damn, this panel is so much better than the one I had in my previous life.

This Spirit and Agility must have been increased due to the reaction time and such brought about by my rebirth.

This Epic-tier talent must have been generated from the various abilities I learned during the ten years of the apocalypse.

Of course, what Lin Zhiluo gained is far more than just this.

The fact that I killed a zombie the very moment the apocalypse descended was for the sake of the greatest harvest to come!
