Hidden Expert: Steward Zhao

Task Requirement: Kill the remaining 269 people in the Li Family manor (200/269).

I have to say, that's a pretty round number.

Lin Zhiluo closed the task panel.

At this moment, he was hiding on the second floor of the villa.

That's right, after running out of the villa's main entrance, he had pulled a feint and snuck back into the second floor.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

How could the group of people downstairs possibly imagine that?

The reaper who had just harvested the lives of their brothers was currently right above their heads?

Everything Shouhou, Rong Zhan, and Li Haobo had just said was heard clearly by Lin Zhiluo upstairs.

Tear me into pieces? Make me pay the price? Those are the exact things I was planning to say to you, Lin Zhiluo thought with disdain.

However, Lin Zhiluo did not let his guard down in the slightest.

This was also the reason why he had chosen to retreat earlier.

Regardless of anything else, the people in the hall possessed rich combat experience and were numerous in number.

They were not like zombies.

When fighting zombies, Lin Zhiluo only needed to pay attention to the details of the combat.

But humans have fickle minds and are capable of playing dirty.

To prevent himself from capsizing in the gutter and to avoid any mishaps under the siege of many, Lin Zhiluo had wisely chosen to retreat in time.

Moreover, Lin Zhiluo had made a very correct decision.

That was not to kill Li Haobo immediately out of an eager desire for revenge.

Without a doubt, Li Haobo was the biggest drag on the entire team.

As long as Li Haobo was there, Rong Zhan and the others had to center themselves around him and focus most of their attention on him.

Furthermore, they would very likely choose to send a portion of their men to protect Li Haobo so he could evacuate safely.

This was Lin Zhiluo's goal.

If facing sixty-plus people carried some risk, then facing thirty-plus people was something Lin Zhiluo could handle with ease.

Sure enough, the group downstairs acted exactly as Lin Zhiluo had predicted.

Although they kept their voices very low, Lin Zhiluo, hidden in the darkness while suppressing all his presence, was still able to discern the content of their conversation by reading their lips.

"Steward Zhao, take the young master and Shouhou and the others into the secret passage. I will stay outside with the rest of the men to stop that killer."

This was Rong Zhan discussing matters with the Silver-haired Butler.

This made Lin Zhiluo take a second look at the Silver-haired Butler.

In his memories regarding the Li Family, there was no mention of this Silver-haired Butler.

Thus, Lin Zhiluo chose to inspect the attribute panels of Rong Zhan and the Silver-haired Butler.

The moment he obtained the attribute panel, the Silver-haired Butler suddenly looked around vigilantly and said, "That person hasn't left. I sense that he might be observing us."

Seeing this, Lin Zhiluo immediately withdrew his gaze.

This was truly unexpected; he hadn't thought this Silver-haired Butler would be such an expert.

Moreover, his strength was a notch higher than Rong Zhan's.

After all, Lin Zhiluo hadn't been discovered while reading Rong Zhan's lips.

But the moment he looked at the Silver-haired Butler, also known as Steward Zhao, he was immediately detected.

Sensing was one thing, but they still couldn't pinpoint Lin Zhiluo's location.

Having hidden himself once more, Lin Zhiluo began to leisurely examine the two men's profiles.

[Basic Information]

Nickname: Hunting Mercenary Group Leader

Title: Zombie Hunter

Level: 5

``` [Basic Information]

Nickname: Zhao Qiguang

Title: None

Level: Level 2

Above is the basic information for Rong Zhan, and below is the basic information for Uncle Zhao.

Rong Zhan's level is quite high.

Of course, this is relative to ordinary people.

Compared to a freak like Lin Zhiluo, who had already reached Level 8 by the third day of the apocalypse, it is certainly far behind.

If you like this book, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Uncle Zhao, whose real name should be Zhao Qiguang.

Because he has always been inside the Li Family manor protecting Li Haobo, his level has only reached Level 2.

However, if you only look at the levels of these two people, you are being too narrow-minded.

Just like Lin Zhiluo, at the beginning, his spirit attribute was already far ahead of others.

These two people, one has fought on the battlefield for many years, and the other has practiced ancient martial arts for many years.

Their physical attributes are at least seven or eight points higher than the average person, if not more.

It is very likely that some people's attributes at Level 10 still haven't reached their level.

Just now, Lin Zhiluo also observed that Rong Zhan is wearing three pieces of bronze-level equipment.

Presumably, he has concentrated all the equipment of the entire mercenary group onto himself.

As for Zhao Qiguang, he has no equipment on him at all.

After Lin Zhiluo finished checking their attributes.

Movement appeared downstairs.

This means they have already discussed a way to deal with Lin Zhiluo.

Lin Zhiluo changed his position and peered out again.

In the middle of the hall, Uncle Zhao and Li Haobo have already disappeared, and so have a large number of mercenaries.

Only Rong Zhan and a small portion of mercenaries remain in the middle of the hall.

Moreover, these mercenaries include those who are seriously injured and whose vision has not yet recovered.

Sigh, Rong Zhan still overestimated himself.

Such an arrangement is the most effortless and convenient for Lin Zhiluo.

At this moment, Rong Zhan sat down on the sofa with a thud.

Although he doesn't know exactly where Lin Zhiluo is, he still spoke up: "Come out and meet me. Hiding your head and showing your tail is really unworthy of your status."

Lin Zhiluo curled his lips helplessly.

Such a low-quality provocation.

But it is understandable.

After all, Rong Zhan's true intention.

Is to stall for time and let Li Haobo and the others leave first.

Then I'm sorry!

Since that's what you want, I will make sure you don't get your way.

Lin Zhiluo pulled out a dagger.

He threw it toward the large lamp hanging in the center of the hall.

The swift dagger accurately hit the chandelier's suspension cable and severed the wires inside.

The light from the chandelier vanished instantly.

The interior of the previously bright hall became much dimmer.

Right in this dim environment.

A dull horn sound rang out.

A white zombie cat the size of a cheetah appeared beside Lin Zhiluo.

The silver-level item [Zombie Cat Horn] was used by Lin Zhiluo.

This zombie cat's eyes were dull, and it had no independent consciousness.

If you want to control it.

The first method is to issue a designated target.

The second method is to control it using one's own consciousness.

If he only issued specific targets, the Zombie Cat would be far too rigid.

Only by controlling the Zombie Cat directly could he bring out its true agility.

Lin Zhiluo naturally chose to control the Zombie Cat with his own consciousness.

Not only that, he also intended to multitask!

After controlling the Zombie Cat to leap down from the second floor.

Lin Zhiluo moved as well!

The chandelier with its severed cable was also plummeting rapidly.

The direction the chandelier was falling was precisely toward the sofa where Rong Zhan was located.

Rong Zhan had reacted the moment the hall went dark.

He stood up instantly, dodging the area where the chandelier was about to crash.

However, those who had been severely injured or blinded earlier were all positioned around the sofa.

They were not so lucky.

Facing the falling chandelier, they were completely unable to move their bodies.

The falling chandelier smashed directly onto the floor.

Pinning their bodies beneath the fixture.

This extremely luxurious chandelier had cost the Li Family 10 million yuan to purchase back in the day.

The massive light bulbs shattered completely.

Glass shards scattered everywhere, lacerating the bodies of a large number of mercenaries.

Several sharp decorative pieces of the chandelier pierced directly through the bodies of the mercenaries below.

There was no telling how many mercenaries died in such agony.
