The easternmost room on the eighth floor is the monitoring room.
The monitoring room door wasn't locked, and there was no one or any zombies inside, which saved Ling Yi some trouble.
Moreover, the monitoring room is very large, at least over 100 square meters.
There were thirty monitors in the room, each displaying different content.
There are sixteen monitors displaying images of the corridor from the first to the eighth floor.
Eight monitors display images of the underground supermarket from different angles.
The two monitors displayed the view of the lobby on the first floor.
The remaining four monitors displayed images of the area outside the hotel.
One is facing the main entrance, one is facing the parking lot, and the other two are facing the left and right sides of the road, respectively.
There were no active zombies in the corridors on the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors.
If there are zombies, they're probably inside the room.
Three zombies, two security guards, and a cleaner were moving around in the fifth-floor corridor.
There are two zombies in the corridors on the fourth and third floors, but the second-floor corridor has the most zombies.
The lobby on the first floor was the most Masai, but there were only six zombies moving around.
Outside the hotel, there were only a few scattered zombies, about forty or fifty in number.
They wander around in groups, here and there.
There were also some zombies trapped inside the car.
There were quite a few zombies in the underground supermarket, more than twenty in total.
There were cashiers, security guards, and customers.
These zombies all stood still, only occasionally twitching their bodies instinctively, and that was all.
After looking around, Ling Yi discovered a big problem.
It's too quiet.
Is there a problem with it being too quiet?
This is a huge problem.
The Zombie Crisis had only been going on for less than two hours, and apart from the screams and howls of zombies in the first few minutes, there had been no other incidents.
Then it quickly quieted down.
There were no more screams, not even a single gunshot.
what does that mean?
This means that in a very short period of time, all the living people in this world died, or all of them turned into zombies.
Without living people, the zombies have no target to chase, and they naturally become quiet.
"So, for some unknown reason, the entire world turned into zombies in just half an hour?"
Ling Yi glanced at his Chosen One system interface.
[ Chosen One: No. 200000001]
[Level: 0 (0/1000)]
[Points: 0]
[ Battle Power: 5]
[Number of Chosen One: 80/80]

{Sole objective: Survive. The longer you survive, the higher your score!}

The score remained Changes, indicating that killing zombies did not earn points.
The number of Chosen One has remained unchanged, indicating that no Chosen One have died; however, the whereabouts of the other Chosen One are unknown.
Generally speaking, in zombie apocalypse stories, besides the zombies themselves, the most terrifying thing is the darkness of the human heart.
No, to be precise, in this storyline, zombies are merely resources; the war generally only occurs between survivors.
But in this world, it's very likely that there are no survivors besides them, the Chosen One.
Among the Chosen One, it is rare for them to fight each other to the death.
Moreover, they often help each other out.
After all, there are few conflicts of interest among the Chosen One; everyone just needs to complete their own tasks.
As for mission conflicts? It seems they've never occurred.
There is at least no information about this online.
Of course, there's another point: if one of the Chosen One dies, Blue Star will have one more invading Transcendent monster every hundred years.
If Chosen One were to actually kill another Chosen One, that person would inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred and would surely die upon returning to Blue Star!
On this point, there is a consensus, whether in Ancient Country or other countries.
The giant octopus is already giving all the countries a headache. If a few more giant monsters appear, humanity will be finished before it even has a chance to grow up.
A crazy idea suddenly popped into Ling Yi's mind.
But Ling Yi quickly suppressed it.
"Wait a couple of days and see how things go."
The Chosen One ' mission is to survive; the longer they live, the higher their score.
If I kill all the zombies nearby, will my score increase?
Without zombies, wouldn't we be able to live in this world as long as we want?
Whether it's true or not, you'll find out by trying it.
However, let's not rush, let's wait a couple of days first.
The key is to see what Changes the zombies will undergo without food, and whether they will wander around due to hunger.
It's now almost certain that the biggest crisis for surviving in this world is these zombies.
Getting through the First Tier is obviously not difficult; the key is how the zombies will Changes after the Second Tier.
Ling Yi searched the monitoring room again and unexpectedly found two more guns: a shotgun, a revolver, and some bullets.
Adding to the previous six guns, wow!
Ling Yi believed that if he searched the entire hotel from top to bottom again, there would probably be more.
But I don't need so many guns!
This thing is incredibly heavy. Just pick two pistols, a shotgun, and bring four or five magazines and a box of shotgun shells.
Ling Yi simply threw the rest into the nearby trash can and that was it.
The sky gradually darkened.
Ling Yi stared at the surveillance camera in the underground supermarket for a long time, then stretched out his right hand towards the ground.
"Puff!"
A soft sound was heard, and a fist-sized hole appeared in the ground.
In Ling Yi's hand, there was a super sausage, as thick as a fist and more than half a meter long.
"Puff puff puff!"
After a few more soft sounds, several bottles of mineral water, several Freeze steaks, and a frying pan appeared in front of Ling Yi.
Ling Yi looked at the several holes that had appeared on the ground and scratched his head.
Suddenly I feel like this is very dangerous!
If Rapid Pickup, wouldn't they probably tear the floorboards apart completely?
This is just a small item.
Ling Yi had originally planned to bring a bed along, but now it seems she should forget about it.
That wasn't just damaging the floor; it was demolishing the entire building.
For the next two days, Ling Yi observed the Changes in these zombies.
Moreover, these zombies were indeed found to be different.
First, the zombies' skin color is changing; regardless of their original color, it's all turning bluish-green.
Secondly, the skeletal structure of these zombies is changing.
Moreover, the Changes are extremely obvious.
All the zombies' shoulders broadened, especially their shoulder blades, which not only became larger and thicker but also extended downwards.
The ribs also grew together and became a rib plate.
Because it's covered by skin, it's not very noticeable, but if you ignore the skin, the shoulder blades and rib plates are exactly the same as those in ancient plate armor.
But it's clear that these zombies are evolving.
"We can't wait any longer, otherwise in ten days these zombies might evolve into Transcendent species."
Ling Yi hasn't been idle these past two days; he's been practicing his skills.
Ling Yi Ling Yi came up with many uses for the Rapid Pickup skill, as well as Rapid Undressing and Rapid Dressing skills.
Clothes, clothes, what exactly counts as clothes?
Hats, scarves, glasses, face masks, neck warmers, ties, coats, shoes, etc., are all considered clothing.
Both skill 1 and skill 2 can have their effects Infinite Stacking.
There are many imaginative possibilities here.
For example, prepare a pair of iron shoes, or an iron hat, or a suit of armor.
At crucial moments, whether worn by yourself or by someone else, it can have unexpected effects.
Skills 1, 2, and 3 can all be used as long as the target is within sight.
As the third day arrived.
Ling Yi flung open the door to the monitoring room, looked at the shotgun, and walked out.
The Second Tier will begin in seven days.
Ling Yi needs to kill as many zombies as possible within these seven days.
At least the nearby zombies need to be cleared out.
To ensure one's own safety.
The first thing to do is to clear out the zombies in each room.
Ling Yi arrived at the room door and first pounded on the door several times with the butt of his gun.
If there's no movement inside, then ignore it.
Conversely, if a sound is heard, there must be zombies inside.
Zombies' ears aren't very good, but that doesn't mean they have no hearing at all; it's just that their hearing is much worse than that of ordinary people.
The zombie will definitely react as soon as it hears the banging on the door.
It turns out that zombies' hearing isn't that bad.
Or rather, after these two days of evolution, these zombies' hearing has improved significantly.
Ling Yi only smashed the door of one room, and from the other rooms came roars like those of Beast.
Now, Ling Yi doesn't need to search room by room anymore.
"Boom!" Ling Yi, imitating Tokugawa from TV, aimed his shotgun at the door lock.
A single shot blasted down.
There was no other way; he didn't have Key, so this was the only way to open the door.
The power of the shotgun exceeded Ling Yi's expectations. This shot not only blasted off the door lock, but also deformed its position.
After that shot, the zombies in the entire hotel started to riot.
No, it wasn't just the zombies inside the hotel; the zombies outside also heard the commotion and converged towards the hotel.
The shotgun was just too noisy.
"Phew!" Ling Yi Doushou and his head.
That commotion was really loud.
"Do shotguns make that much noise?" Ling Yi didn't understand, but he felt that the shotgun in his hand was making an absurdly loud noise.
"Awooo, roar, bang bang bang!" The zombies in the room howled and pounded on the door, but Ling Yi couldn't budge it even after pushing it twice.
"Dude, this door pushes inwards. How am I supposed to open it if you just block it?"
