Lin Zhiluo was very satisfied.
It was fine if he was a little stupid—no, if he was a little dumb as a zombie.
As long as he was obedient and had some abilities, that was enough.
As it happened, Lin Zhiluo had a [Leather Bracer] he didn't need that he could give Da Sha to wear.
The "Mana Recovery Necklace" and "Small Magic Wand" were out of the question.
With his Innate Super Strength, Da Sha had no need for either mental power or a faster rate of mental power recovery.
One thing to note was that additional mental power couldn't improve Da Sha's intelligence.
[Leather Bracer]: Bronze-grade equipment, a bracer made from fur. Stats: Constitution +1, Strength +1.
It was a very ordinary piece of equipment.
Lin Zhiluo checked Da Sha's stats after he equipped the "Leather Bracer."
He discovered that the stats Da Sha gained from wearing equipment didn't benefit from the zombies' unique Dark Night attribute bonus.
Thank goodness. If the Dark Night bonus applied too, that would be ridiculous.
"Haah~~~" Lin Zhiluo yawned.
This wouldn't do. He was too tired and needed to hurry up and get some sleep.
Lin Zhiluo quickly took Da Sha to the elevator and went up to the third floor.
He picked an empty bedroom.
It was obvious at a glance that no one had ever lived in this bedroom.
The lives of the rich really were simple, unadorned, and dull.
Zombies didn't need to sleep.
So Lin Zhiluo said, "Da Sha, just stand guard outside the door. Don't let anything disturb my sleep."
He knew that all the zombies nearby had already been cleared out.
But there was always a chance something might happen.
Da Sha nodded firmly.
It was as if he were saying, "I'll get the job done."
Then he turned around, his tower-like body blocking the bedroom doorway.
Lin Zhiluo couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up. Reliable.
Then he closed the bedroom door and placed an Eye of Investigation by the entrance.
Even though Da Sha was an extra safeguard, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
The main thing was, he had way too many Eyes of Investigation...
There were already more than ten Eyes of Investigation in his Storage Space.
Lin Zhiluo couldn't be bothered thinking about anything else. Still wearing his gear, he flopped onto the soft bed and quickly fell asleep.
It was already 4:00 a.m. on the fourth day of the apocalypse.
By the time Lin Zhiluo woke up, it was already noon.
As usual, he used the instant-awakening method.
After a quick wash, Lin Zhiluo opened the bedroom door.
Da Sha was still standing guard outside, dutiful as ever.
Only after hearing the door open behind him did Da Sha turn to look.
"Not bad, kid. Good job," Lin Zhiluo praised him.
Da Sha immediately broke into a goofy grin.
The man and the zombie went downstairs.
The gruesome scene from the early hours came into view.
The air throughout the hall was thick with the stench of blood.
Bodies littered the floor, leaving Lin Zhiluo nowhere to step.
To say nothing of all the blood that had poured out of them, staining the expensive carpet from pure white to blood red.
Lin Zhiluo stepped over the bodies one by one, with Da Sha following close behind.
But Da Sha was so heavy that as he walked over the bodies, he crushed quite a few of them flat.
At the large table in the living room, Lin Zhiluo tossed half a finger off the chair and plopped down.
Then he took out some Food Classification Cards from his Storage Space and activated a few at random.
A lavish lunch appeared on the table.
It was a feast for the eyes, the nose, and the palate.
Lin Zhiluo enjoyed his meal while looking at the gruesome, blood-soaked scene in the hall.
"Da Sha, why don't you go eat their corpses?" Lin Zhiluo pointed at the bodies on the floor.
Zombies didn't need to eat to replenish their energy, but they all had a taste for human flesh.
But Da Sha was, as it turned out, anything but ordinary.
He looked at the bodies on the floor and shook his head like a rattle drum.
Lin Zhiluo stared at him in surprise. You really are a one-of-a-kind zombie.
Not only that, Da Sha also glanced at the sumptuous meal in front of Lin Zhiluo.
Then, without making a fuss, he swallowed nervously.
With Lin Zhiluo's sharp eyes, of course he noticed.
He decided to give it a try, pointed at the food, and said, "How about you have some too?"
As soon as Lin Zhiluo finished speaking,
Da Sha's eyes, which had looked so dull, suddenly came alive.
He nodded so fast he looked like a pecking chick.
Lin Zhiluo rubbed his forehead.
Good grief, what kind of strange zombie was this?
He wouldn't eat human flesh, but he loved cooked food.
In his first ten years, Lin Zhiluo had never met a zombie with such a bizarre taste.
Lin Zhiluo wasn't stingy.
After all, Da Sha was his underling.
With a grand wave of his hand, he took out five or six cards and activated them.
Five or six more dishes appeared on the table.
"Go ahead and eat," Lin Zhiluo said, pointing at the food.
Da Sha grinned foolishly and started picking up the plates while standing, tipping the food into his mouth.
"Sit down and eat," Lin Zhiluo said helplessly.
He had finished his own lunch by now, so he simply watched Da Sha eat.
Da Sha immediately sat down and began to chow down.
Lin Zhiluo watched him closely and confirmed his theory.
That was right. Da Sha's intelligence clearly improved by a whole level when he was eating.
His eyes and movements both became much livelier.
Holy crap, a zombie who lived to eat.
Give him food, and he got stronger!
Lin Zhiluo tested a few more things with Da Sha.
Sure enough, he really did become much smarter.
But after he finished all the food, Da Sha went back to looking like a goofy lug.
"Fine, then. I'd been worried about having nowhere to put all those Supply Cards I'd gotten before. Now Da Sha can help me use them up." Lin Zhiluo spread his hands.
After they finished eating,
Lin Zhiluo took a map out of his Storage Space.
He'd found it in a shop the day before.
It had a detailed layout of all of Modu.
Not only that, Lin Zhiluo had filled it with markings, each one indicating a special location.
He studied the map, searching carefully.
After a while, his eyes lit up. He pointed to one spot and said, "We're going here now!"
