Apocalypse Game: Starting by Killing My Campus Belle Girlfriend - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The Onset of the Doomsday Game

"Don't worry, you don't need to undress. Just come over here." Lin Ziluo remained lying on the bed, said with his icy tone.

"Oh, planning something new, are we? You youngsters always have your quirks. Fine, I'll play along since you're decent-looking." The woman smirked, walking over in her high heels and plopping down on the bed.

"Well then, how do you want to do this?" she asked, putting out her cigarette and beginning to undress.

"No need for that. Just take a shower and leave when you're done," Lin Ziluo instructed.

He had called her over only to observe if she would turn into a zombie. Sure enough, as she got closer, he caught a hint of that peculiar smell. It was faint, but unmistakable—a scent only zombies carried.

As the game's launch approached, those "lucky" enough to be selected to turn into zombies began to show signs.

"What's wrong with you? Whatever, but remember, once I finish my shower, I'm leaving, and there are no refunds." The woman sneered, stripping without a care and swaggering into the bathroom.

Lin Ziluo checked his phone—it was 6:59. He got up from the bed, retrieved the freshly cleaned, sharp dagger from his backpack, and quietly approached the bathroom door.

Inside, the woman, now with her back to him, was showering. Hearing the noise, she didn't even turn around. "I knew it, you're into this kind of play. Hurry up, standing here is tiring."

The alarm on Lin Ziluo’s phone loudly went off at 7:00. The woman suddenly froze, her skin rapidly turning ashen.

In that precise moment, Lin Ziluo thrust the dagger forward.

"Roar—"

The woman's transformation into a zombie was cut short by the dagger piercing through her neck, and a black "Death" mark appeared above her head.

Lin Ziluo let out a sigh of relief just as a blue notification panel appeared, albeit a bit late.

【Welcome to the "Doomsday Game"】

【Once the game begins, it will progress autonomously, and no external interference will be possible.】

【The brutal Doomsday has descended. 80% of the unlucky population has transformed into zombies, while the remaining 20% of you lucky ones... Enjoy the thrilling game, but remember, survival is key. Once you die, there’s no coming back.】

【Zombies in this world have heightened hearing but poor vision, only able to perceive moving objects.】

【To enhance your gaming experience, here are some rules:】

【1: Killing zombies or other zombified animals will increase your level, granting new attribute points. Your game experience is directly tied to your level.】

【2: There is a slim chance to obtain equipment, items, or resources from killing zombies or zombified animals. It all depends on your luck—hope you’ve got good fortune.】

【3: Equipment and items in the game are ranked from lowest to highest as Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Epic, Legendary, Mythic... and beyond that, well, you probably won’t need to know.】

【4: Hidden opportunities are scattered all over the world. Be thorough and careful in your search.】

【5: All modern weaponry, from guns to nuclear bombs, will be ineffective against zombies. Don't even try using them, not even for vehicles.】

【6: All current communication devices will be disrupted and unusable, though you can still keep your phone for reading novels or playing offline games.】

【7: Zombies will evolve over time, so keep up with their evolution. Remember, you’ll only turn into a zombie if bitten or scratched; their blood isn’t infectious. Also, nightfall will enhance the base attributes of zombies and zombified animals, so remember to hide when it gets dark.】

【8: There’s more to know, but I’ll save that for after your first seven days in the newbie protection period. Trust me, zombies are weak right now, so kill as many as you can while you still can. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.】

【Remember, the Doomsday Game is filled with the unknown and endless possibilities.】

【Finally, enjoy your game.】

Lin Ziluo skimmed through the notification, recognizing it as the same message from his previous life, and dismissed the panel. A new interface appeared.

【Welcome, Player "Lin Ziluo", to the Doomsday Game.】

【Would you like to set a game name?】

"Yes, set it as Yazi."

Yazi, one of the nine sons of the Dragon in ancient Chinese mythology, is a symbol of wrath and vengeance, often depicted as a fierce warrior suppressing evil.

However, Lin Ziluo chose this name primarily for revenge. As the saying goes, "A single meal's kindness must be repaid, and the smallest of grievances avenged."

Li Haobo, the Li Family, and everyone else who helped them hunt me down—are you ready for my revenge?

【Player nickname "Yazi" is available.】

【Player "Lin Ziluo" successfully changed nickname to "Yazi".】

【Character creation complete, loading attribute panel...】

Lin Ziluo opened his attribute panel.

Player: Yazi (No titles)

Level: 1

Experience: 0/1

Reputation: 0

Gold: 0

Inventory Space: 0.1 cubic meters

Base Attributes:

• Strength: 11 (Average adult male is 10; affects physical strength and attack power.)
• Spirit: 15 (Average adult male is 10; affects skill potency, cooldowns, and usage.)
• Constitution: 10 (Average adult male is 10; affects health and defense.)
• Agility: 13 (Average adult male is 10; affects reaction speed and movement.)

【Note: All base attributes are numerical and will change according to battle or player condition.】

Talent: 

• 【Master of All】: Epic-tier talent. You are proficient in numerous combat techniques and can skillfully utilize a wide range of basic abilities.

Skills: None

Equipment: None

Quests: None

This panel is far better than the one I had in my previous life, Lin Ziluo thought.

The higher Spirit and Agility must be due to the reflexes I’ve retained from my previous life. The Epic-tier talent likely stems from the skills and knowledge I acquired over ten years in the Doomsday.

But what he was about to gain next, right after killing that first zombie, would be the greatest reward of all!

1. "A single meal's kindness must be repaid, and the smallest of grievances avenged." is a idiom from "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Fan Ju and Cai Ze". (source) refers to repaying even the smallest act of kindness while also not letting go of even the slightest grievance.
