Lin Zhiluo looked at this Golden Finger.
The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was.
Ever since Yao Jinghan had betrayed him, he had been wary of everyone.
Think about it. If even the person you considered closest to you could betray you,
could you still trust anyone enough to happily spend time with them?
So from the very beginning, Lin Zhiluo had planned to follow the same path as in his previous life and go it alone.
Now the system was telling him he could have a zombie slave who was absolutely loyal to him.
It could also work tirelessly for him. From now on, he wouldn't have to handle the dirty, exhausting jobs himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiluo asked, "What effect does leveling up the 'Absolute Enslavement' Golden Finger have?"
"Ding. Leveling up 'Absolute Enslavement' increases the number of zombies you can enslave by one per level."
It could increase the number, too!
Lin Zhiluo immediately imagined himself commanding thousands upon thousands of zombies as they attacked Li City.
Then he quickly put a stop to that idea.
Forget it. How many times would he have to level up Absolute Enslavement to reach that point?
He might as well keep dreaming.
But which zombie should he enslave?
He had no idea where the few zombies that could eventually grow into Zombie Emperors had been before.
The zombies he could remember all had plenty of potential, but somehow, none of them felt perfect.
What's more, he didn't know whether they could grow to the same level as they had in his previous life after being enslaved.
After all, every person or zombie who succeeded had encountered some kind of fortuitous opportunity along the way.
Forget it. Why think so much about it?
It was already past three. He needed to get some rest.
With that in mind,
Lin Zhiluo took one last look at Li Haobo's mangled corpse on the floor.
Once Explosive Dual Slash had cooled down, he used it again.
This time, the Tang Dao struck Li Haobo's abdomen twice.
The explosions blasted Li Haobo's corpse into a heap of mush.
Lin Zhiluo was sure that even Li Haobo's biological parents wouldn't recognize the mess as their son.
Then, whistling happily, Lin Zhiluo walked out of the safe room.
Outside the safe room was the basement of the Li Family estate.
Quite a few valuable treasures were piled up throughout the basement.
There were precious ancient calligraphy and paintings,
gold and silver jewelry, jade, and emeralds,
along with antiques and other things.
Lin Zhiluo didn't even spare the gold and silver jewelry a glance.
In the apocalypse, that stuff was truly worthless.
You'd get a sore backside even using it on the toilet.
But he still tried to put the calligraphy and paintings into his Storage Space.
Those precious works of art would be useful later.
As for exactly what they were used for, Lin Zhiluo had really forgotten.
He thought they might be used for bartering.
Anyway, rolled up into scrolls, they didn't take up much space, so he'd keep them for now.
Lin Zhiluo searched through the basement again.
Sure enough, he found quite a few exquisite knives, including daggers.
But they were decorated with gemstones and the like, and the blades themselves weren't very sharp, so he tossed them aside in disappointment.
These knives weren't even as useful as my Tetanus Dull Blade.
After he had finished searching the entire basement,
Lin Zhiluo hummed a tune as he left the basement and went to the villa's first floor.
Since he was already here, he might as well sleep for the night.
To be honest, he'd never slept in such a luxurious villa before.
To get to the third-floor bedroom, he had to pass through the first-floor hall to take the elevator.
So Lin Zhiluo headed straight for the hall.
But as he walked, he realized something was wrong.
Without the chandelier, the hall was extremely dark.
And in the middle of that dim hall, there was a figure standing upright.
That was impossible.
Everyone in the Li Family was dead.
Even the system had confirmed it. The system couldn't be wrong, could it?
The black figure was enormous.
The outline alone showed that its muscles were explosively developed.
It could only be described as a human-shaped beast.
And it stood perfectly still, like a statue. It didn't even seem to need to breathe.
Right. It wasn't breathing!
Lin Zhiluo studied the figure.
Ever since he'd first spotted it, it hadn't taken a single breath.
Its abdomen and chest hadn't moved at all.
There was only one thing Lin Zhiluo could think of that had those traits.
A zombie!
Lin Zhiluo thought back.
The scene he'd observed in the hall earlier immediately came back to him.
In that scene, the figure had been inside the huge iron cage.
He remembered there being a dead zombie and more than a dozen body parts that looked like they belonged to women inside the cage.
There had also been a burly man lying on the ground, covered in blood and gore.
That man had shown some early signs of turning into a zombie.
So the figure standing inside the cage in the hall now was the zombie that man had become.
Once he realized it was a zombie, Lin Zhiluo grew even more curious.
This zombie was strange.
Its body had actually healed.
And the flesh and blood in the hall had been spread all over the floor.
Normally, a zombie would definitely be drawn to all that flesh and blood and become agitated.
Even if it couldn't break out of the cage, it would keep slamming into the bars.
But this zombie stood there quietly.
Lin Zhiluo was confident in his abilities, so he strode straight up to the cage.
He took out a flashlight and shone it at the zombie.
At last, he got a clear look at its face.
Tsk. Was this really a zombie?
Lin Zhiluo suddenly doubted his earlier judgment, so he checked the zombie's attributes.
