Although it was already considered high ground, the low buildings still blocked the view, which is why Lin Li spent ten minutes cautiously checking the surroundings for all visible zombies.

If only there was a drone.

Lin Li truly felt the equipment gap now.

He really needed to find a way to earn some money.

"Believe me, I will definitely give you a better life." Lin Li patted the beautiful lady's hand, comforting her.

Idle as he was, he placed his tactical backpack aside and used the beautiful lady's hand to scratch his back like a back scratcher while contemplating.

Can I bring things from reality to this world, and take them back when I return?

It should be possible... Lin Li remembered that last time when he returned, the soles of his slippers were covered in dust.

Could he make some money by exporting things from this world back to reality?

In reality, there are many quick and easy ways to make money, which are documented in detail in the "Criminal Law".

A classic dumb question: The defense in prison is so tight, how do the inmates get in? The answer: They exploit legal loopholes to get in.

The people inside do speak nicely, but Lin Li didn't want to associate with them.

He's so handsome, talented, humorous... too many good traits, he'd be afraid of getting bullied.

Better to make money with dog trading.

But if he can only take inanimate objects, what should he bring?

Something easy to cash in, high return, exists in reality, and won't draw attention when converting to cash.

Theoretically, the rebar embedded in the wall in front of him could also be sold, but the efficiency is too low. Moreover, the scrap metal collector might smile on the surface, but three minutes later the Demon Suppression Bureau would come asking about the rebar's origin.

Besides, he's not a sports student; breaking rebar with bare hands and bringing it back to reality would be a bit challenging.

Gold.

When Lin Li set the filtering criteria again, gold, the absolute standard answer, already appeared in his mind.

"This world has rebar, there are scrapped cars on the roads, and the items in the building are very familiar, it feels like this world's tech tree and resource tree are very similar, so gold should exist."

Placing the beautiful lady's hands on the rooftop, Lin Li, carrying a flashlight, went downstairs and began exploring the building.

Since he had confirmed beforehand there were no living creatures inside, Lin Li became much bolder.

"Xingsheng Trading Company."

Brushing off the dust from the papers, Lin Li softly read the words on them.

He wasn't surprised by the Chinese characters.

What's wrong with speaking some Chinese, aren't cultivation techniques in the cultivation world also just traditional characters?

Poor means to set aside disputes, while being rich means it's inherent since ancient times.

This implies that this world has been East University territory since ancient times.

The text was a business document, with no real meaning, so Lin Li spent nearly half an hour carefully researching the building.

Nothing valuable was found.

The drawers were all opened, containing only messy papers and notebooks.

Occasionally, a hidden gem—a drawer with a rotten hand clamped inside.

He couldn't find anything valuable, even the poorest companies shouldn't be like this; this building must have already been ransacked, but judging by the accumulation of dust, the last looting happened quite some time ago.

"I wonder if this world still has any survivors now." Lin Li sighed.

Having gained nothing, Lin Li returned to the top floor and could obviously feel the sky getting much brighter, especially in the east.

It seemed sunrise was not far off.

Lin Li set his mind straight.

Don't miss the sunrise for exploration, losing the task would be unworthy.

In the meantime, organize thoughts.

The place with the most gold, aside from under Zhang Jiao's control, would be gold shops and banks.

Especially gold shops, banks keep their gold in safes when not publicly displayed, even if found, might not be able to open; but gold shops don't have that issue.

Based on the building density and the situation, this area before the zombie crisis shouldn't be underdeveloped, there surely existed more than one gold shop and bank.

And even if the buildings were looted by survivors, during the apocalypse, gold can't be traded for food, having no significance in survival stages, they'd only treat it like trash, so there's a large chance the gold is still waiting in the ruins for me.

Now the issue was Lin Li wasn't familiar with this 'city', no city map before the zombie outbreak.

"Beautiful lady, why aren't you even a little bit vain, where's the jewelry on you?" Lin Li inspected the beautiful lady's hands, finding only decayed flesh and no adornments, shaking his head in disappointment:

"Love is not possession but fulfillment, if you keep this up, I'll go for someone better."

The beautiful lady remained silent, just waving her hands, probably hoping Lin Li wouldn't leave.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance, let's watch the sunrise together."

Playing ultra-realistic house alone was pretty fun, Lin Li cheerfully taped their hands together with the beautiful lady's, never to be separated.

This was because Lin Li wasn't sure about the system's nature, whether it would force him to keep holding hands throughout the entire sunrise to complete the task. To be safe, tying them together, he wouldn't have to maintain constant attention.

"Uh..."

After waiting a few minutes on the rooftop, faint zombie growls could be heard.

Lin Li's eyes narrowed instantly, saving energy by turning off the [Divine Hearing],and then crawling to the wall edge to peek.

The sounds were getting clearer, not only because of [Divine Hearing]being turned on but also because zombies were getting closer, and seemingly more than one.

Sure enough, first a zombie twisted its body and appeared running, then after a few seconds or teen seconds, emerged more than a dozen.

The sounds they made seemed to also attract nearby zombies to come towards here.

Lin Li curled up on the rooftop, brows furrowing.

His situation suddenly became much more dangerous.

As a kid, Lin Li played the "ground is lava" game where you absolutely can't step on the ground, now the downstairs really was dangerous lava.

What triggered their riot? If they're chasing something, why hadn't he noticed at all?

Or is it just this world's zombies' daily madness?

Lin Li peered out again, noticing a few zombies seemingly noticed the beautiful lady (the body), slowly approaching her, standing in front of her.

They didn't touch the body, just glanced at it, uninterestedly continuing to move around slowly nearby, while a few stayed put slightly swaying, dazed.

Why is this group of zombies as inexplicable as little fairies?

The sky was already showing faint light, tearing the ink-black darkness hovering over the city's ruins.

Sunrise was near.

Kicking down doubts, Lin Li shrunk into the corner between two walls, tightly holding the beautiful lady's hand, appreciating the sunrise.

The light began as a faint grayish-white, then gradually brightened with time, taking on orange-red colors, casting an ambiguous and eerie brilliance on the desolate buildings.

A bit tragically beautiful.

Wandering zombies appearing creepier under the orange-red light.

It was the most unreal sunrise Lin Li had ever seen in his life.

"Do you like it, madam?"

The beautiful lady didn't speak, but gave a thumbs up, then started tapping 666.

"As long as you like it."

Lin Li and the beautiful lady hand in hand, leaned on each other, watching the sun rise high.

Listening attentively.

Not expecting zombie sounds, but—
