Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

It can only be said that there are still players who lack a sense of the big picture, and quite a few of them. Before the knife cuts them, players are unlikely to be able to completely put aside all personal opinions and desires and cooperate sincerely.

Lin Yu quickened his pace and, after searching for more than half an hour, finally found a relatively intact stone building with a faded book sign hanging on it.

Judging from the interior of the building, it should be a library. He cautiously pushed open the creaking, dusty wooden door.

The library was in a mess.

The tall bookshelves had mostly collapsed, and parchment scrolls and paper books were scattered all over the ground like garbage, covered with a thick layer of dust. The air was filled with a strong musty smell and the stench of rotting paper.

The room was very dark, so Lin Yu turned on a flashlight, and the light dispelled the darkness inside.

He ignored the ordinary content, his sharp eyes scanning the area, searching for specialized books or notes that might contain local legends, information about monsters, or knowledge of the occult.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a large book, relatively intact and wrapped in thick black leather, in a corner where it was covered by a half-collapsed bookshelf.

The cover features the words "Mysteries and Strange Tales of Glamorgan" in dark gold lettering.

Lin Yu was delighted to see the title; it really did make his guess. There really was information in the library, but he didn't know if the book contained the information he wanted.

He immediately cleared away the obstacles, found a relatively open area, carefully took out the book, sat down on the ground, and quickly flipped through the book with the help of the light.

He quickly scanned the table of contents, his gaze eventually settling on the section on strange creatures.

Right below this entry, a series of strange and unusual names appeared on the page.

Lin Yu checked them one by one, and his hard work paid off; the target appeared:

Ghoul

Synopsis: Legendary creatures that can disguise themselves as humans and live among them. During the day, they are almost indistinguishable from humans, can eat normal human food, and excrete normally. Their appearance, personality, habits, etc., are completely identical to humans.

But once night falls, they transform into their true form—a terrifying monster that feeds on humans.

Unlike their human forms, ghouls are virtually without weaknesses. They possess immense strength, incredible speed, and can rapidly recover from any injury by consuming human flesh.

However, if they lack food and energy, their fighting ability will be greatly weakened, and their recovery ability will also be greatly reduced.

However, ghouls are still extremely difficult to kill. Even if they are cut into mincemeat or burned to ashes, they will not die. Only weapons blessed by the gods can kill them completely (the same applies to human form, although they look like humans, their core is still that of a ghoul).

……

After that came some rumors and stories about ghouls appearing, as well as the atrocities they had committed. Lin Yu quickly read through all of this.

"Only weapons blessed by the gods can kill ghouls." Lin Yu stroked his chin, pondering this passage.

In the stories recorded in the book, most of the heroes who killed ghouls possessed weapons that were supposedly blessed by the gods. However, what Lin Yu couldn't understand was that he searched through all the relevant sections of the book but couldn't find any way to obtain such weapons.

At the same time, the information he obtained from the book confirmed the effect of the Blood-Burning Arrow.

Ghouls are extremely powerful when they have enough food, but they are much easier to deal with when they don't have food.

In addition, Lin Yu also ruled out another piece of incorrect information: although ghouls are in human form during the day, they still cannot be killed by conventional means. Therefore, his previous idea of ​​killing ghouls during the day was wrong.

Ghouls are immortal unless they find a special weapon.

It must be said that this discovery has indeed greatly increased the difficulty for Lin Yu to complete the title mission.

"Since it's related to God, the church might have clues about divinely blessed weapons."

After reading the book, Lin Yu thought to himself.

Afterwards, Lin Yu searched the library again, but did not find much other useful information or intelligence. There were only a few fragments of religious stories, heroic biographies, and a town map that was mostly incomplete.

After confirming that he had found nothing else, he quickly left the musty-smelling library.

The sky outside was still overcast and gray.

Based on the tattered town map, Lin Yu headed towards a castle marked on the map.

He actually preferred to search for places like churches, but they weren't marked on the tattered map, and finding them on his own would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He figured he might as well go check out the castle first.

At least you're more likely to find something worthwhile in a castle.

Instead of taking the main roads, he quickly traversed the dilapidated streets, searching any houses that appeared to be relatively intact along the way.

The search results were neither good nor bad.

He found several ruins that appeared to be alchemy workshops and blacksmith shops, but they had all been thoroughly searched, yielding nothing but useless scrap metal and broken tools.

Finally, he was lucky enough to find two more [Burning Blood Arrows (Fragments)] under the counter of a half-collapsed weapon shop.

Including the one he had before, he now had three of these targeted weapons, but unfortunately he didn't have a suitable crossbow.

As he walked through the ruins of a relatively wide street that may have once been a commercial street, a familiar figure emerged from the shadows at the opposite street corner. The two saw each other almost simultaneously, instinctively stopped, and placed their hands on their weapons.

The man was tall and strong, wearing leather armor, carrying a round shield on his back, and a machete at his waist.

This person was Zhang Jianguo, a player with whom Lin Yu had a brief transaction in the Zombie Apartment game.

That is, the veteran.

Zhang Jianguo clearly recognized Lin Yu as well.

His gaze swept quickly over Lin Yu's ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which he had bought in the commercial district, and a clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In his memory, Lin Yu had demonstrated strength far exceeding that of ordinary players in the very first world. How could someone like that be doing so poorly?

His "beginner's outfit" looks rather out of place.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, a silent wariness filling the air.

In the end, Zhang Jianguo nodded slightly as a greeting, without saying a word or making any move closer.

His eyes conveyed a clear message: he recognized her, but now was not the time for reminiscing; they should go their separate ways.

Lin Yu nodded, offering no further comment.

Just as Zhang Jianguo thought, their relationship was merely a transaction, and in this game of suspicion, it was so weak that it was almost negligible.

The two turned around simultaneously and quickly left in different directions, their figures soon disappearing among the broken walls and ruins.
