Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

North of the city.

Adjacent to a dense residential area stands a detached villa covering an area of ​​over 300 square meters.

The villa is surrounded by high, thick walls, and its inner courtyard is spacious and open, planted with various flowers and plants.

The three-story main building stands majestically behind, its overall design luxurious and grand, with lines that are both steady and magnificent.

In front of the villa's main entrance, two beige marble columns stand straight and tall, their bodies carved with intertwined leaves and flowing clouds. Behind the columns is a majestic and imposing entrance gate, adorned with gold trim and silver lines, which complements the carved columns and exudes an air of luxury.

In the past, passersby would inevitably stop and look at this villa with envy, secretly marveling at whose rich man's house it was.

But now, the occasional "pedestrians" don't even glance at him, their pale eyes and tattered bodies swaying slowly past.

After yet another 'pedestrian' passed by and left,

Outside the villa's perimeter wall, accompanied by a faint thud, Luo Tian's figure appeared.

He went in stealthily several times to scout out the location of the mission target in advance, and each time he came out at almost the last second.

But this time, his face was somewhat pale.

"No wonder the system issued this task."

"Damn it! All show and no substance!"

Luo Tian rarely swears, but having just discovered the scene inside, he couldn't help himself.

After making a slight adjustment, he ran towards a small roadside supermarket in the distance.

The few remaining shelves in the supermarket were overturned and haphazardly arranged; the survivors had already rummaged through all sorts of goods countless times, leaving nothing behind.

Four zombie corpses lay between the shelves. Two had been dead for a long time, while the other two still had purplish-black blood seeping from the knife wounds on their heads. He had killed them after he arrived here, and they had only recently died. He had cleaned this place specifically to hide temporarily while waiting for his stealth skill to cool down.

"This Class B target is quite obvious."

"It's definitely him!"

Luo Tian found an open space and sat down against the wall, his cold eyes fixed on the direction of the villa outside.

Unlike Wang Xiulan, who was a young man who misjudged the mission and rushed out to find his fiancée, this time there will be no mistake.

But he still needs to make contact with the target and wait for the system's assessment; otherwise, he would have already taken action.

"I'm becoming more and more like an assassin; the profession of cleaner is truly living up to its name."

"The system is like a sponsor, issuing bounty missions."

"If I, as an assassin, accept a mission, I'll get paid once I complete it."

"And the skills I've acquired also seem to indicate a tendency to develop into those of an assassin."

With nothing to do, Luo Tian opened his information interface and talked to himself.

In my heart, there was no resistance whatsoever, nor did I feel like I was being controlled and made a puppet.

The task is not mandatory; you can do it if you want, or not if you don't. You can stop and quit if you fail, and you will receive a reward if you succeed.

Most importantly, the reward not only allows him to live comfortably in this apocalyptic world without worrying about food, but also grants him a series of superpowers.

Why not do something like this?

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, this is still much more comfortable than being a beast of burden in peacetime.

To work, they work from dawn till dusk, and even get scolded by their boss for making mistakes.

What now?

Free and unrestrained.

Although the survival supplies rewarded by the system were a bit of a rip-off, seeing the survivors in the city starving and dizzy, risking their lives to scavenge for a little food, and even fighting each other to the death, made the life-sustaining rations and energy blocks conjured up by the system taste incredibly delicious.

In terms of strength, they currently don't have many skills.

But it is not afraid of being instantly killed, not afraid of being bitten and infected, not afraid of wounds worsening, and can accelerate its movement to fight, kill, walk and retreat.

With the added ability to become invisible, they are no longer afraid of being surrounded by hordes of zombies and falling into a desperate situation.

The other survivors could only live in fear and trembling, barely clinging to life.

This comparison reveals the difference.

My thoughts drifted away, and two short minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

After getting up and leaving the small supermarket, Luo Tian didn't try to hide anything and rushed quickly towards the villa.

Reaching the wall, he stepped over several corpses, climbed onto the top, and jumped inside.

After landing, without lingering, he quickly ran across the courtyard toward the villa gate.

But soon, Luo Tian suddenly stopped.

Ahead, a fair-skinned man in his twenties, who looked like a sentry, was leaning lazily against the door. He was startled when he suddenly saw Luo Tian rushing towards him.

"How...how did you get in?"

He jumped up in a panic, asked instinctively, and then hurriedly turned to shout into the house, "Brothers, someone's here! Grab your weapons! Come out now!"

Not long after he finished speaking, a series of chaotic footsteps were heard.

Accompanying them were eight menacing-looking men wielding machetes.

Upon discovering that Luo Tian was alone, they immediately relaxed:

"Hey dog, what are you howling about? You're just a greenhorn!"

"Kid, you really have no eyes. Shanghai is such a big city, why did you have to come here?"

"It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."

"Do you know what it means to be a lamb entering a tiger's den? Hahaha."

"Kid, don't be afraid. It's better to fall into our hands than to be eaten by zombies."

Several men pointed at Luo Tian, ​​weapons in hand, and burst into laughter.

These people showed no fear of living in the apocalypse; instead, they seemed to be in their element.

"Who are you people?"

Luo Tian raised his dagger and assumed a defensive stance.

But upon seeing the short dagger, the group burst into laughter again. One of them even shouted, "Kid, that's a good question. You'll soon find out who we are. Just behave and don't resist. That little thing in your hand won't make a ripple. It'll only make you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the person walking out of the door and his voice stopped abruptly.

They were probably running errands; when they came out, the other person was still tidying their clothes.

"Brother Hai."

"Hello, Hai Ge."

"Brother Hai, this kid has disturbed your enjoyment. I'll definitely punish him myself later!"

The people around immediately stopped laughing and started nodding and bowing.

The middle-aged man named Hai Ge had fair skin, but his face was full of fleshy muscles, making him look like a bad guy. In particular, a scar ran down from his forehead to his ear, making him look especially ferocious.

Standing before the group, Hai Ge sized Luo Tian up and down, grinning, "Kid, you've got guts. You're not afraid of us?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Luo Tian sneered: "Are you more terrifying than the zombies in the city?"

"That's hard to say."

Hai Ge shook his head slightly and said with a playful smile, "In this world, people are sometimes more terrifying than monsters."

"Enough with the nonsense, come and kill me if you want."

Luo Tian raised his dagger and said coldly, "I'm not someone to be trifled with for surviving this long. I can't kill all of you, but I can at least take one or two down with me!"

"Wow, that's pretty impressive."

Hai Ge tilted his head and squinted his eyes:

"However, I like it."

"What this world lacks are people who dare to fight and kill."

"Hey kid, interested in coming with me?"

"Follow me, and you'll discover..."

"This is not the end of the world."

"It's a paradise we can enjoy at will!"
