Inside Villa No. 2.

Huang Shanshan waited anxiously.

Where is my husband?

In the time it took her to serve the chicken soup, her husband, who was so big, just disappeared!

Knowing Lu Dazhao's personality well, she could probably guess where he had gone.

However, Lu Dazhao's strength has not yet recovered, and there are still scattered zombies outside. What should he do if he encounters danger?

Huang Shanshan was very worried, but she was just a weak woman who had never awakened her memories and had no fighting ability. She was able to settle down in Hope City and live a stable life entirely thanks to Lu Dazhao's protection.

She didn't dare to go out and look for Lu Dazhao rashly, and could only wait anxiously at home.

Finally, as dawn approached, Huang Shanshan heard the door open and rushed downstairs to check.

But Lu Dazhao returned, his face flushed, drunk and staggering.

"Honey, you're finally back."

Huang Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She helped Lu Dazhao upstairs, but as soon as they reached the second floor, Lu Dazhao suddenly collapsed to the ground with a "plop".

"How much did they drink?"

Huang Shanshan wanted to drag him to the bed, but she was too weak to do it, so she could only get a blanket and cover him up.

Seeing Lu Dazhao like this, she couldn't go to the bedroom to rest, so she simply lay down next to Lu Dazhao to rest together.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Shanshan couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep, until she was woken up by a crying sound.

"Why would someone in the house be crying?" Huang Shanshan woke up groggily, but then fell back asleep with peace of mind. "My husband is a strong man, he wouldn't cry. I must be dreaming."

"Phew—" Seeing his wife fall asleep again, Lu Dazhao, who had stopped sobbing, couldn't hold back his tears any longer and murmured aggrievedly, "Why? Why did a centipede appear after I passed out!"

He had expected that when he arrived at the tavern, he would hear people praising his feat.

He single-handedly defeated the Corpse King!

During the Resident Evil era, very few people could actually do that. Most people, like Zhang Lin, relied on tricks to kill the Zombie King.

However, things did not turn out as he had expected.

Throughout the entire tavern, out of the thirty-four people present, not a single one mentioned his name.

Zhang Lin!

Everyone is talking about Zhang Lin.

Some people are speculating about the name of the ability Zhang Lin uses.

Some people are discussing what Zhang Lin's awakened extraordinary template is.

Some people are even trying to deduce the level of Zhang Lin's extraordinary template based on the strength of his abilities.

Some people are also talking about the Thousand-Legged Corpse, searching for the reason why the Thousand-Legged Corpse appeared in this cycle of reincarnation.

Some people were even talking about the women around Zhang Lin!

Is An Qingge prettier, or Ji Yuetong? And some people even prefer the younger An Qingwu...

Some people even wondered why the women around Zhang Lin didn't fight.

But not a single person was talking about Lu Dazhao!

He wanted to leave right then and there; he couldn't stand that awful place for even a second longer.

But walking like this would make me seem very uncouth, and... if I wait a while, what if someone says something about me?

So Lu Dazhao drank to relieve his distress while enduring the torment of waiting in the tavern.

But after waiting all night, no one said his name.

"Damn it, you people, is my solo kill of the Corpse King really that insignificant?"

Lu Dazhao roared inwardly.

In the past, the fact that he had single-handedly killed the Corpse King would have been enough to keep the tavern talking for more than ten days.

Why are you all talking about Zhang Lin this time?

In the end, Lu Dazhao drank until dawn, consuming more than a dozen bottles of beer, over a pound of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and several cocktails.

He eventually returned home drunk and passed out.

When he woke up, seeing the blanket covering him and his wife beside him, he couldn't help but recall the past.

In the past, the city lord was relatively low-key and didn't take much action. The first captain preferred to work alone and didn't have many interactions with others. As the second captain, he became the central figure in Hope City.

Every move they make is watched, and every time they do something significant, they are praised by the entire city.

Now, with the sudden appearance of Zhang Lin, he has been completely overshadowed.

Let's not even talk about the position that was taken from him before.

At that time, Lu Dazhao was still confident that he could regain his dignity when the city was besieged by zombies.

But after the battle, Lu Dazhao discovered that he had absolutely no hope of surpassing Zhang Lin.

This made Lu Dazhao unable to hold back any longer.

Suddenly, a wave of grievance welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

But he didn't expect that his crying would almost wake his wife.

If my wife sees me crying again...

Lu Dazhao felt that he could consider living on another planet.

Fortunately, Huang Shanshan didn't wake up, so he can continue living on Earth.

Lu Dazhao stood up and sneaked into the bathroom. Completely overwhelmed by emotion, the strong man burst into tears. A moment later, looking at his red-eyed reflection in the mirror, he gritted his teeth and swore:

"Zhang Lin, you wait, I'll surpass you one day!"

...

"Zhang Lin..."

"A one-on-one fight against a centipede?"

On a post-apocalyptic street littered with ruins, a cool-looking motorcycle is parked by the roadside. A little girl sits on the motorcycle, and next to it is a woman dressed in a black leather jacket.

The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with fair skin and a slender figure. Her short hair, neatly styled past her ears, was draped behind her head. Large sunglasses were pushed up to her head, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the man kneeling beneath her tall leather boots.
