Tailor-made

Whoosh.

Light flashed.

The group vanished, entering the Choice.

The moon shone bright amid scattered stars, yet the surroundings were dim.

In a narrow, cramped alley, a zombie dog covered in rotting sores, its eyes a cloudy gray-white, opened its gaping maw dripping with foul-smelling saliva and locked onto Lin Yu across from it.

Lin Yu held a machete, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Even from five or six meters away, he could smell the stench wafting from the zombie dog.

It smelled like rotting flesh mixed with sewage.

Utterly revolting!

"It really stinks..."

Lin Yu frowned, disgust written across his face.

Having lost all reason and acting purely on instinct, the zombie dog caught the scent of Lin Yu's living flesh and could no longer restrain itself. Madness churned in its cloudy gray-white eyes as it let out a piercing howl and lunged at him.

"Roar!"

The zombie dog's rotting body packed tremendous explosive power, giving it incredible speed!

If Lin Yu had been an ordinary person, he would never have been able to fend it off.

But...

He was no ordinary person now.

Holding his machete, Lin Yu watched calmly. To him, the zombie dog's rotting body seemed to charge forward in slow motion.

When the zombie dog came within a meter of him, he finally moved!

Whoosh!

The machete swept sideways, flashing coldly in the dim moonlight.

Slash!

Flesh parted, and blood sprayed.

The zombie dog's head was severed clean off and fell to the ground, rolling several times down the alley.

Its headless body lost its driving force, carried another few meters by momentum alone.

Lin Yu calmly sidestepped it.

The fight was over.

[Choice successfully completed. Please select three sets of tailor-made clothing.]

At that moment, Lin Yu's consciousness connected to a special platform. A rack appeared before him, filled with clothing in all kinds of styles, with several male tailors standing beside it.

The tailors smiled at Lin Yu.

He could communicate his requirements to them through his mind.

There was no sound throughout the process. It was a silent exchange of thoughts, mind-to-mind communication.

Convenient and highly efficient.

The reward for this [Choice] perfectly embodied what "tailor-made" meant. It truly was customization from head to toe.

Lin Yu's design skills were an absolute disaster, so he simply told the tailors what he needed and left the details to them.

For the first set, he wanted a combat outfit made from thin, breathable fabric suitable for summer, while also accommodating combat so that his clothes would never become a burden in a fight.

The second set was also a combat outfit, but with the opposite requirements. The first needed to keep him cool, while the second needed to keep him warm enough to wear in extreme cold.

As for the third set...

Lin Yu had wanted a protective suit that would shield him from poisonous gas and venomous insects, as well as corrosion, cold, heat, and radiation...

But the tailors gave him three words.

In your dreams.

Lin Yu immediately felt embarrassed. He had been a little too greedy.

The reward for this [Choice] was three sets of tailor-made clothing, not custom-built equipment.

So getting exceptionally high-grade fabric was practically impossible.

After thinking for a moment.

Lin Yu still decided the third outfit should be suited to extreme environments. Though it could not protect him against fire, corrosion, or radiation, better fabric and an insulating layer should be enough to fend off windblown sand and mildly acidic rain.

Almost instantly.

All three outfits were finished.

The first was a dark combat outfit made from thin, supple fabric, with clean, flowing lines and a snug fit. There were no loose, dangling pieces of cloth, and it also provided decent concealment at night.

The second was a snow-white winter combat outfit that could withstand wind and snow, with outstanding heat retention and excellent protection against the cold!

The third was a pale yellow protective suit. Though it could not meet his most demanding requirements, it would certainly prove highly useful if he encountered unusual, extreme conditions.

Looking at the three outfits, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Really nice!

Admittedly.

All three outfits were essentially made from ordinary fabrics. Before the apocalypse, he could have had someone on Blue Star make them for him.

But!

This was the apocalypse!

Getting three outfits that fit this well and offered such comprehensive functionality was practically impossible now.

Only [Choice] could satisfy his needs.

Excellent!

Lin Yu changed into the first, dark combat outfit.

Then.

He left the [Choice].

After returning to reality.

Lin Yu discovered that Shen Sui and the other two had also come out, all wearing new clothes.

Shen Sui wore a sharply cut gray combat outfit without excessive, flashy embellishments. He shared Lin Yu's priorities, choosing clothes for ease of movement and suitability for combat.

The slight upward curve of Shen Sui's lips showed that he was very satisfied with his combat outfit!

Ye Qing, meanwhile, had undergone a complete transformation, adopting an entirely different style.

She wore a white off-the-shoulder top that elegantly framed her shoulders and fully revealed her delicate collarbones. Her smooth, long hair fell lazily over her shoulders, creating an effortlessly alluring look. Eye-catching denim shorts completed the outfit, showing off her slender, straight, long legs.

It was as though she had gone from a mature beauty to a sexy babe.

Even Lin Yu could not help stealing a couple more looks.

Tsk...

He had to admit.

Ye Qing was truly beautiful. She seemed capable of pulling off any style perfectly.

As for Cheng Yuening...

To be honest.

Lin Yu could not find her. He did not need to think to know she must have changed into something even more discreet and harder to spot.

She could hide even better now.

Looking at the three of them in their new clothes, Yellow Hair could not help feeling envious and said sourly:

"Damn, new clothes really are nice. If I'd known, I would've joined in too."

Originally, Yellow Hair had thought he had no interest in clothes or anything like that!

But now that he saw Lin Yu and the others in their new outfits...

He immediately changed his mind.

These...

How were these the same thing?!

"It's all Zhai Guang's fault. If it weren't for him, I would've joined in."

Standing some distance away, Zhai Guang instantly had several question marks pop up over his head.

*???*

What the hell did this have to do with him?!

Fuck!

Yellow Hair was really asking for a beating!

Ye Qing walked lightly over to Lin Yu, a faint smile curling her lips:

"Thank you, little support. It's so nice to have new clothes."

Though Lin Yu did not know why Ye Qing was thanking him, he still said:

"You're welcome."

The smile on Ye Qing's face froze. She had only tossed out a casual thank-you, and Lin Yu had actually taken credit?

Still...

She really did owe him thanks.

If Lin Yu had not chosen A, she would not have dared follow suit.

[Sixth Sense]...

It really was a powerful support ability...

Ye Qing was becoming more and more interested in Lin Yu's pathway.

The less Lin Yu said, the more curious she became.

I really want to cut Lin Yu's chest open and see how many secrets he's hiding in his heart...

Just then.

The third [Choice] appeared...
