The Zombie Inside the Cage

Lin Zhiluo stared at this golden finger.

He was satisfied no matter how he looked at it.

After experiencing the betrayal of Yao Jinghan, he had remained vigilant toward everyone.

Come to think of it, if even the person you consider closest to you can betray you, how could you ever feel at ease playing happily with others again?

Therefore, Lin Zhiluo had initially planned to walk the same path as his previous life: being a lone wolf.

Now, the system was telling him that he could possess an absolutely loyal zombie slave.

It could also work tirelessly to help him with tasks, meaning he wouldn't have to do the dirty or exhausting work himself anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiluo spoke up: "If I level up this 'Absolute Enslavement' golden finger, what effects will it increase?"

"Ding, after leveling up 'Absolute Enslavement', the number of zombies that can be enslaved will increase, with one additional slot per level."

It could even increase the quantity!

A scene immediately surfaced in Lin Zhiluo's mind: he was commanding thousands upon thousands of zombies to launch an assault on Li City.

Then, he quickly extinguished that thought.

Forget it; to reach that level, how many times would he need to upgrade "Absolute Enslavement"?

It was only something to dream about.

However, which zombie would actually be the best to enslave?

He didn't even know where those guys who grew into the "Zombie Emperor" in the later stages were located beforehand.

As for the few zombies he could remember, although they all had potential, he felt they weren't quite perfect.

What's more, he didn't even know if they could grow to the level they reached in his past life after being enslaved.

After all, every successful person or zombie had actually encountered certain fortuitous encounters to achieve success.

Forget it, why think so much?

It was already past three o'clock; he needed to get some rest.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhiluo took one last look at the mangled corpse of Li Haobo on the ground.

He unleashed his cooled-down "Explosive Dual Slash" once more.

This time, the Tang Dao struck the abdomen twice.

The explosion successfully blew Li Haobo's corpse into a pile of rotten meat.

Lin Zhiluo believed that even if Li Haobo's biological parents were here, they wouldn't be able to recognize whose rotten meat this was.

Following that, Lin Zhiluo whistled and walked out of the safe house in high spirits.

Outside the safe house was the basement of the Li Family manor.

The entire basement was piled with quite a few valuable treasures.

Things like precious ancient calligraphy works and paintings.

Things like gold and silver jewelry, gems, and jade.

And some antiques and the like.

Lin Zhiluo didn't even glance at the gold and silver jewelry.

In the apocalypse, this stuff was truly worthless.

It would even be uncomfortable to use for wiping one's backside.

However, for things like calligraphy and paintings, Lin Zhiluo tried his best to collect them into his storage space.

These precious calligraphy and painting works had a use later on.

As for what that specific use was, Lin Zhiluo had actually forgotten.

It seemed to be for trading.

In any case, this stuff could be rolled into scrolls and didn't take up much space, so he would just keep it for now.

Lin Zhiluo searched through everything once more.

He indeed found quite a few exquisite blades similar to daggers.

However, these blades were all inlaid with gems and decorative items, and the sharpness of the blades themselves wasn't high, so he threw them away in disappointment.

Compared to these blades, they weren't even as useful as his "Tetanus Dull Blade".

After looting the entire basement, Lin Zhiluo hummed a little tune, walked out of the basement, and arrived at the first floor of the villa.

Since he was already here, he might as well sleep here for the night.

To be honest, he had never actually slept in such a luxurious villa before.

To get to the bedroom on the third floor to sleep, one had to pass through the lobby on the first floor to reach the elevator.

Lin Zhiluo walked straight toward the lobby.

However, as he walked, Lin Zhiluo noticed something was wrong.

Inside the lobby, the absence of the chandelier made it incredibly dim.

And right there in the dim lobby, there was actually a standing figure.

That's impossible.

Everyone in the Li Family was dead.

Even the system had confirmed this, and the system shouldn't be wrong.

This black figure was incredibly tall.

Just looking at the silhouette, one could tell that the muscles on this figure were explosive.

The term "humanoid beast" could be used to describe it.

Furthermore, this figure stood there motionless, as if it were a sculpture, not even needing to breathe.

That's right, no breathing!

Lin Zhiluo observed the figure.

From the moment he first saw it, it hadn't taken a single breath.

There was absolutely no movement in its abdomen or chest.

And in Lin Zhiluo's mind, only one thing matched these physical traits.

That is a zombie!

Lin Zhiluo recalled the scene.

The image of the lobby he had observed earlier was instantly reconstructed in his mind.

In the scene, the place where the figure stood was that large iron cage.

He remembered that inside the large iron cage, there was a dead zombie and over a dozen limbs that looked like they belonged to women.

There was also a muscular man lying on the ground, covered in blood and gore.

At the time, that muscular man had shown slight signs of turning into a zombie.

Therefore, the one standing in the cage in the lobby now was the zombie that the muscular man had turned into.

Upon realizing this was a zombie, Lin Zhiluo became even more curious.

This zombie was very strange.

Its body had actually recovered.

Moreover, the floor of the lobby was practically covered in flesh and blood.

Logically speaking, a normal zombie would definitely be attracted by all this flesh and blood and become restless.

Even if it couldn't break out of the cage, it would be constantly slamming against it.

Yet, this zombie stood there quietly.

Relying on his high level of skill to bolster his courage, Lin Zhiluo walked quickly up to the cage.

He then took out his flashlight and shone it on the zombie.

At this moment, he finally saw the zombie's face clearly.

Hiss, is this really a zombie?

Lin Zhiluo suddenly felt some doubt about his previous judgment, so he chose to check the zombie's attributes.
