"I'm fine. You don't have to take anything off. Just come over here." Lin Zhiluo remained lying on the bed, his voice icy.
"Oh, got some new game in mind? You young people are something else. Well, you're not bad-looking, so I suppose I can play along."
After speaking, the woman walked over to the bed in her high heels and plopped down on it.
"So, what are we doing?" She stubbed out her cigarette and took off her clothes.
"Nothing. Go take a shower, then leave when you're done," Lin Zhiluo said.
Lin Zhiluo had asked the woman to come over only to see if she would turn into a zombie.
Sure enough, as soon as she came close, he caught a whiff of that strange smell.
It was faint, but only zombies gave off that odor.
With the game's arrival drawing nearer, those who were about to be "lucky" enough to become zombies showed some signs of it.
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking? But you said it yourself. I'm leaving after my shower, and you're not getting your money back." The woman spat, then shamelessly began taking off her clothes.
Then, completely naked, she sauntered into the bathroom.
Lin Zhiluo took out his phone. It was already 6:59.
He got out of bed and pulled the now-clean, sharp dagger out of his backpack.
Then, hiding the dagger, he walked over to the bathroom door.
The woman was showering with her back to the door. Hearing him, she said without turning around, "I knew you were going to try something like this. If you're going to do it, hurry up. Standing here is tiring."
"Ding~~~"
The alarm Lin Zhiluo had set for seven o'clock rang.
The woman suddenly went rigid.
Her skin turned gray at a visible speed.
The moment the alarm rang,
Lin Zhiluo's dagger was already thrusting forward.
"Roar~"
The zombie woman's roar had barely begun
when the dagger pierced her neck.
A black "Death" appeared above her head.
Lin Zhiluo let out a sigh of relief.
Then, the blue announcement panel finally appeared.
[Welcome to the "Doomsday Game"]
[Once this game begins, it will develop on its own. Nothing can interfere with it.]
[The cruel apocalypse has arrived. Eighty percent of the unlucky people in this world have turned into zombies. As for the remaining twenty percent of lucky ones, enjoy the thrills of the game to your heart's content. Of course, the most important thing is to survive. Once you die, you won't get another chance.]
[The zombies in this world have keen hearing but somewhat poor eyesight. They can only see moving objects.]
[To make your gaming experience better, here are some of the rules.]
[1: Killing zombies or other zombie animals can raise your level and earn you new attribute points. Your gaming experience is closely tied to your level.]
[2: Zombies and other zombie animals may drop equipment, items, or supplies when killed. The odds are very low, so it all depends on your luck. Let's see if you're lucky!]
[3: In the game, equipment, items, and other objects are divided into grades. From lowest to highest, they are Bronze Grade, Silver Grade, Gold Grade, Diamond Grade, Epic Grade, Legendary Grade, and Mythic Grade... As for anything higher, forget it. You won't encounter it, so there's no point telling you about it.]
[4: Various hidden opportunities have been scattered around the world. Make sure to search carefully—very carefully.]
[5: All modern human weapons, including guns, artillery, and nuclear bombs, will be unable to harm anything. Don't try to use them to bluff your way past zombies. This includes vehicles.]
[6: All human communication devices will be disrupted and rendered unusable for now. Still, you can keep your phone to read novels or play offline games.]
Try searching for the author if you can't find the book title. Maybe it was just renamed!
In response to popular demand, VIP members can now enjoy an ad-free experience.

[7: Zombies will evolve over time, so make sure to keep pace with them. You'll only turn into a zombie if you're scratched or bitten, so don't worry about being infected by zombie blood. Also, nightfall will raise the base attributes of zombies and zombie animals. Remember to hide.]
[8: There are plenty more tips, but I'll save them for after you've made it through the first seven days of beginner protection. Take my advice: zombies are very weak right now. Kill as many as you can, or don't blame me for not warning you later.]
[Remember, the Doomsday Game is full of unknowns and possibilities.]
[Lastly, have fun playing.]
The text on the panel ended there.
Lin Zhiluo skimmed through it and saw that the announcement was no different from the one in his previous life, so he closed the page.
A new panel appeared.
[Hello, player "Lin Zhiluo." Welcome to the Doomsday Game.]
[Would you like to set a game name?]
"Yes. Set my game name to Yazi."
Yazi was one of the nine dragon sons in ancient Dragon Kingdom mythology. He loved bloodshed and battle, and vanquished all evil.
However, Lin Zhiluo had chosen the name Yazi mainly to take revenge.
As the saying went, "A meal's worth of kindness must be repaid; even the slightest grudge must be avenged."
Li Haobo, the Li Family, and everyone who had helped them hunt me down—
are you ready to face my revenge?
[The player name "Yazi" is available.]
[Player "Lin Zhiluo" has successfully changed his name to "Yazi."]
[Character creation complete. Attribute panel loaded.]
Lin Zhiluo opened his attribute panel.
Player: Yazi (No title yet)
Level: 1

Gold Coins: 0
Storage Space: 0.1 cubic meters
Base Attributes: Strength: 11 (The average adult male has 10. Affects physical strength and physical attack power.)
Spirit: 15 (The average adult male has 10. Affects skill power, cooldowns, and number of uses.)
Constitution: 10 (The average adult male has 10. Affects vitality and defense.)
Agility: 13 (The average adult male has 10. Affects reflexes and speed.)
Talent: [Omnipotent Mastery]: Epic Grade talent. You know many forms of combat and can skillfully use various basic abilities.

Damn, this panel was far better than the one I'd had in my previous life.
My Spirit and Agility had probably improved because of the reflexes and such I'd gained from being reborn.
This Epic Grade talent must have come from all the abilities I'd learned over the past ten years of the apocalypse.
Of course, Lin Zhiluo had gained far more than just that.
He'd killed a zombie the very moment the apocalypse began for the sake of his greatest reward to come!
