Inside the Shelter.

Zoe stepped back and tripped over a small rock.

But behind her, there was a big rock, no matter what, it was impossible to fall without harm.

Lin Yi realized Zoe's little head might get hurt, so he immediately activated the Skill — Combat Reflex.

He rushed to the girl, grabbing her hand with one hand and holding her waist and legs with the other before she fell.

"That was close! Did I really have to use Combat Reflex? I tell you, women are just trouble!"

Lin Yi muttered, but before he had time to help Zoe up, she had already fainted.

"So unlucky..."

The next day, morning.

The first rays of sunlight shone through the leaves outside the window, into a small room.

A slender girl with a kind face, who made people feel very comfortable,

was lying on a light green bed.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking was heard.

Then Orianna's voice came from outside the door: "Zoe, wake up, it's time for breakfast."

The two girls lived in a two-bedroom house, and Orianna usually got up early because she was responsible for farm management.

"Wait a minute, Orianna — hmm!?" Zoe rubbed her sleepy eyes but suddenly reacted.

Then, the memories of last night flooded back, and she jumped up from the bed.

"How did I get home, Orianna? I, the boss? What happened? Oh..."

Zoe fell back to the bed, tightly hugging the pillow, rolling around the blanket.

Her mind was filled with fantasies of what might have happened.

Was I hugged? Sure, I was hugged!

Kissed? Did something happen?

How will we interact in the future?

What's the kid's name gonna be!?

"The boss brought you back. He said you fainted, maybe you weren't feeling well."

Orianna glanced at Zoe through the door, then shook her head and turned back to her room.

She originally wanted to tell Zoe that the boss carried her back like a sack of potatoes.

But after thinking about it, she decided to let her good friend indulge in her own fantasies.

Real world, Paris streets.

"Boss, are you sure you don't need help?"

"No need, but connect Nika with me. You monitor closely, she observes from afar."

Lin Yi said, his sword flashing as he slashed down another hissing zombie.

"Got it." Melanie immediately responded.

Early morning — an hour before breakfast.

Lin Yi woke Melanie up.

He planned to exercise and improve his strength by starting with a morning workout.

He is currently level 8 and needs 640 more Experience Points to reach level 9. If he only hunts regular zombies, he estimates he'll need to kill 584 of them.

But upgrading like this is too stupid.

Small fry zombies are only good for a light workout to sharpen reflexes.

If he wants to level up, the big zombies are more suitable.

Because you only need to shoot them in the eyes or pierce the skull with a sword to deal with them.

Lin Yi walked down the street, attacking any zombies he saw.

If there were too many zombies, he'd use a Submachine Gun; if they were overwhelming, he'd set up barricades with junk from the warehouse.

Then take them down one by one.

"Boss! There's an agile mutant zombie in the building across from you, lying in ambush waiting for you to get close."

"Got it." Hearing Melanie's report, Lin Yi quickly headed towards the building.

Bam! Bam!

Soon, there was dull thudding from the building, followed by a louder crash.

Then, the window shattered, and a mutant zombie was kicked down from the third floor of the apartment building.

This zombie was tougher than expected, trying to get up and pounce on the person who jumped down.

Lin Yi activated Combat Reflex, pulled out his level 3 pistol, and fired at the mutant zombie while descending.

Three out of four bullets hit!

The mutant zombie's left leg was almost completely severed, and a big hole appeared in its head.

"Finally got my revenge!" Lin Yi was very excited.

This agile mutant zombie had initially chased him like a high jumper.

It even forced him to hide in the shelter for several days.

Now, finally took this guy down!

Picking up the green Reward Egg.

Lin Yi returned to the shelter.

Using Combat Reflex had consumed too much Physical Strength and energy, so he splashed some water on his sweat-drenched body and went to have breakfast.

That morning, Lin Yi planned to prepare for a large-scale raid.

So even the ordinary soldiers were enjoying an exceptionally hearty breakfast.

Little Natasha asked, "Boss, are you going to the Sacred Heart Cathedral today?"

"Yes!" Lin Yi nodded.

He planned to sell some food to the Sacred Heart Cathedral and buy some equipment.

Previously, they promised to give him some biofuels and bombs, which he would also obtain this time.

In addition, besides checking with Immanuel for the latest news, he also wanted to acquire some manufacturing or agriculture-related books and documents from the camp.

This is very important for long-term development.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi looked at the red-haired girl across the table: "Sylvie, you can pick an assistant, anyone you choose."

"Okay, boss!"

"And Melanie? Any progress?"

"The surveillance department still hasn't found a suitable person; the applicants so far are all unsuitable..."

The black girl recalled that one candidate actually wrote "good at spying on boys showering from a distance" in their resume, feeling a headache.

"This is just temporary, we'll hire more people soon, it'll get easier then!"

Smiling, the boss finished speaking and focused on the rabbit meat marinated in vegetable sauce.

At this moment, Martha noticed something off with Zoe.

Concerned, she asked, "What's wrong with Zoe? Zoe, are you sick? Your face is so red!"

"She's fine, don't worry about her." Orianna said with a chuckle.

Annie suddenly sensed the scent of gossip and immediately became energized.

Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and stood up to leave.

He is going to prepare for the raid.

According to the plan, the team should head towards the Sacred Heart Cathedral, eliminating any zombies encountered along the way.

Well, except for the hordes of thousands of zombies.

This time, they wouldn't loot stores as the shelter's mission countdown was approaching zero.

There were fifty participants in this operation, including 46 soldier warriors and a cute girl.

Her Skill is called "Banshee's Wail," and test records show that the Skill made earwax explode from a zombie's ear, with no other effect.

However, the system Skills are meant to deal with zombies; they might be ineffective on regular zombies, but they could have miraculous effects on mutant zombies.

Lin Yi returned to Paris, standing in front of the apartment building.

He first teleported a few people from the shelter; each team stepped outside to wait for the other "Paratroopers."

This team would be split into two groups, one led by himself, the other by Solomon.

Overnight, a large number of zombies appeared in this area, but the warriors quickly cleaned them out.

One warrior suddenly asked, "Boss, what would happen if we threw scrap metal into a bottomless pit?"

"Good question, let's give it a try!"
