Open Up! This Is a Raid!

Lin Zhiluo currently had four free attribute points, but he wasn't in a hurry to spend them.

He didn't have time yet to think about what path he would take from here.

Before his rebirth, there had been countless terrifying hidden classes. None of them had been claimed yet, so he could start over with a different class.

Besides, his attributes were more than enough for the time being.

Base Attributes: Strength: 12 Spirit: 17 Constitution: 11 Agility: 14

Compared to an ordinary person's, his attributes were far better.

But he knew he couldn't afford to waste time now. He had to clear out all the zombies nearby first.

At night, zombies' base attributes increased by at least 50%.

And in the Doomsday Game, night ran from 8:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. the next morning.

In other words, night would fall before long.

He had to get back to somewhere safe before eight.

This also showed just how insidious the Doomsday Game was.

At eight in the evening, the zombies got stronger.

But the game had only begun at seven.

How could an hour possibly be enough time for people to prepare?

That was why so many players met their end on the first night of the Doomsday Game.

Lin Zhiluo walked out of the room with a dagger in hand.

Until he found a proper weapon, he had to make do with this dagger, which had no attributes at all and was known as a "white-tier item."

Outside the room was the narrow hallway of the inn.

It was so cramped that at most two people could walk through side by side.

There were ten rooms on this floor.

Lin Zhiluo decided to deal with room 210 behind him first.

His feet creaked across the old floorboards.

He hadn't even reached room 210 when the sound of his footsteps caught the attention of whatever was inside.

The soundproofing was absolutely terrible.

A "Rooar" came from inside room 210.

Then came the sound of hurried, unsteady footsteps drawing closer to the door.

Lin Zhiluo decided to strike first and swung his dagger straight at the door lock.

The rusty lock was little more than decoration. A single stab from his dagger broke it.

Lin Zhiluo yanked the door open.

A zombie wearing a white tank top appeared.

Its skin was blackened and its body was muscular. It looked like it had done hard labor for a living.

Lin Zhiluo first checked the zombie's attributes.

[Common Zombie]

Level: 1

Base Attributes: Strength: 12 Spirit: 5 Constitution: 13 Agility: 9

Not bad. Its attributes were two or three points higher than those of an ordinary zombie, but Lin Zhiluo could still handle it easily.

He twirled his dagger in a graceful arc and charged at the zombie.

The zombie's gray-white eyes shifted as it swung its long nails toward Lin Zhiluo's face.

As the Sharp Claw came straight at him, he bent nimbly and dodged it.

Then he ducked into the zombie's arms.

The zombie's distinctive stench hit him in the face.

Lin Zhiluo didn't care in the slightest. He thrust his dagger diagonally into the zombie's throat.

Perhaps he'd missed a vital spot.

The zombie opened its bloody maw and lunged to bite Lin Zhiluo, who was right in front of it.

Lin Zhiluo calmly twisted the dagger in his hand.

A black "DEAD" appeared above the zombie's head.

[Congratulations, player "Yazi," on successfully killing a zombie. You gained one experience point and one Gold Coin.]

The system notification came right on time.

The zombie's corpse toppled backward and hit the floor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Zhiluo took a deep breath.

From the moment he struck to the moment the zombie went down, only two breaths had passed. He'd taken out a zombie with relatively high attributes.

Still, he wasn't satisfied.

He'd performed poorly. His first strike hadn't killed the zombie outright.

It took ten experience points to go from level 2 to level 3, so he still needed to kill nine level-one zombies.

He kicked the fallen zombie aside and spotted what it had dropped: a card.

Cards usually represented supplies.

Sure enough, when Lin Zhiluo picked it up, he saw the words [One Medium-Well Sirloin Steak] written on it.

[One Medium-Well Sirloin Steak]: Made from imported New Zealand beef sirloin and served with a special house sauce. Give yourself a wonderful dinner experience.

Using a Supply Card was simple, too. After activating it, the item would appear in your hand at the ideal temperature.

At this stage, this Supply Card was worth quite a lot.

But once the store opened later on, it would sell for around 100 Gold Coins, making it an affordable item for the masses.

Lin Zhiluo tucked the card into his Storage Space.

It wasn't mealtime yet.

He looked around room 210.

To his delight, he spotted a large cloth bag inside.

It contained some repair tools.

It looked like the zombie had been a maintenance worker.

Lin Zhiluo stowed the tool bag in his Storage Space and took out one of the hammers.

The dagger was rather short, so the hammer would let him attack from mid-range.

Only then did Lin Zhiluo leave room 210, satisfied.

Room 210 was at the end of the hallway, where a large iron door completely blocked the emergency exit.

So Lin Zhiluo headed toward the rooms in front of him.

Room 208: empty.

Room 207: empty, too.

Lin Zhiluo was a little disappointed. Why were there so few zombies?

At last, he had just reached the door to room 206.

He heard zombies growling inside.

And there were two of them, growling at once.

Perfect. Finally, some action.

Lin Zhiluo's eyes lit up. He smashed the lock with his hammer.

Then he kicked the door open and shouted, "Open up! This is a raid! A raid!"

Before the apocalypse, Lin Zhiluo had been a quiet, reserved person.

Throughout the ten years he'd spent in the apocalypse in his previous life, he'd remained cold and ruthless.

But in this life, after he'd killed Yao Jinghan with his own hands, he'd gradually become more outgoing.

Maybe it was because he'd been repressed for too long, and his personality had finally snapped back in the opposite direction.

This sort of thing often happened with mental illness.

Patients might be depressed one day, then manic a couple of days later.

The two zombies inside the room looked utterly confused.

I'm a damn zombie now, and you're still raiding me?

"Holy crap, it really is a raid! None of you are wearing clothes!"

The moment he opened the door, Lin Zhiluo was startled to see two completely naked zombies.

Only then did he remember that this was a seedy inn.

That explained it.

The two zombies were furious that Lin Zhiluo had interrupted them.

The male zombie charged straight at him.

Lin Zhiluo glanced at it and couldn't help saying, "Come on, man. You came out to have fun with something that tiny? Aren't you worried you'll get shortchanged?"

The male zombie seemed to understand him and roared at him.

Lin Zhiluo had already checked this zombie's attributes.

They were two points lower than the maintenance worker zombie's. No wonder it was as tiny as an earthworm.

Lin Zhiluo swung his hammer at the zombie's head.

"Thud."

A dull impact rang out.

The skull on the zombie's head cracked open.

Its body lost its balance, too.

The dagger in Lin Zhiluo's other hand seized the opportunity and stabbed into the zombie's neck.

"DEAD"
