"Are there really people who aren't afraid of death?"
Zhang Lin stormed out of the door in anger.
He was very unhappy that his good deed was interrupted before it even began.
"Zhang Lin is out!"
As soon as Zhang Lin walked out the door, a commotion arose.
Zhang Lin also saw the group of people outside the door, the city lord behind the crowd, and Luo Jinxin standing in front of the crowd.
Luo Jinxin looks to be in his early thirties, about 1.78 meters tall, with the typical physique of a fitness instructor—the kind that looks very fit.
Most people might think he's very strong.
But in fact, he is indeed very strong, and he is indeed a former fitness coach.
His physique comes from his profession, and his strength comes from his experience of surviving multiple apocalypses.
Zhang Lin did not underestimate him after seeing him.
After all, the fact that he dared to challenge someone after already knowing his own record shows that he was very confident in his abilities.
People like that are either truly capable or complete idiots.
Generally speaking, the latter is relatively rare.
"You're Zhang Lin?" Luo Jinxin was slightly surprised and doubtful upon seeing Zhang Lin. Based on his first impression alone, he couldn't possibly associate Zhang Lin with the word "expert."
"The city lord ranked you second among the five captains. I'd like to see what you're really capable of."
"What second?" Zhang Lin asked, puzzled.
"You didn't know?"
Luo Jinxin was full of questions.
Didn't the city lord tell him about something so important?
Zhang Lin was too lazy to argue. "So you want to challenge me, huh? Fine, come on then. Let's finish this quickly. I need to go back and cuddle with my wife to sleep after this!"
Luo Jinxin's face suddenly darkened.
Zhang Lin is clearly looking down on him!
"Lord of the City, I request to take on this challenge. Please bear witness!" Luo Jinxin turned around and bowed respectfully to the Lord of the City.
The city lord stepped forward and said, "Zhang Lin, he wants to challenge your captain's ranking. According to the rules, you cannot refuse. If you want to maintain your position, you can defeat him, or... kill him!"
"clear!"
Zhang Lin nodded slightly.
Previously, he had no concept of the position of captain and felt that it didn't matter whether he was in charge or not. But today, he has already experienced the benefits of being a captain.
If there were no special circumstances, he would actually be willing to serve as the captain of Hope City for a period of time.
"Xiao Luo, you can start preparing now." The city lord then said to Luo Jinxin, "Once you are ready, I will announce the start."
Luo Jinxin didn't say a word, took a step back, and then took out two things from the backpack behind him.
A syringe filled with pale blue liquid.
A short sword, which does not appear to be made of iron or steel, is golden in color, but not as bright as gold; it is probably brass.
Brass is generally unsuitable for making weapons because it is too soft. After the advent of iron, bronze weapons were quickly phased out.
But for some reason, Luo Jinxin chose a weapon made of brass.
Zhang Lin watched as Luo Jinxin first stuck the sword into the ground, then took the syringe and plunged the needle directly into his abdomen. Instantly, his face contorted, cold sweat poured down his face, and veins bulged on his forehead, as if he were enduring immense pain.
"This is……"
"Half-corpse potion!"
Someone recognized the medicine.
There were also newcomers like Zhang Lin who had been brought to Hope City, and they asked the older people around them, "What is a half-corpse potion?"
Someone explained, "Zombies are also a kind of supernatural creature. By using the cerebrospinal fluid of zombies as the main ingredient, and supplementing it with some common materials that can be found in the early days of the apocalypse, this half-corpse potion can be made!"
"As we all know, zombies are stronger than ordinary people. In the early days of the apocalypse, if humans wanted to become stronger, the half-zombie potion was one option. After using this potion, humans would transform into zombies, but not completely, and would then gain some of the abilities of zombies."
"The potion's strength depends on the amount of cerebrospinal fluid from the zombies used. If it's made from more than ten zombies, the potion will be pale blue!"
"Luo Jinxin's strength will only increase several times over now!"
Everyone chimed in with their own words, and soon they had revealed the detailed information about the medicine that Luo Jinxin had used.
"Is this thing really that powerful?"
Someone was tempted.
Immediately someone else said, "It's not that good. This thing has huge side effects. After the New Era, the Extraordinary Template is the most important thing, determining a person's future prospects."
After using the half-corpse potion, one can only choose the awakened zombie type extraordinary template in the future. Among the many zombie templates, there has never been a legendary-level template, which essentially limits one's future development!
"What's the story behind that sword?"
“This sword is definitely special. If we follow the game's logic, this sword is enchanted!” Ji Yuetong stood on the second-floor balcony, with the An sisters and twin sisters beside her, all looking down at the situation below.
They were naturally the most nervous when Zhang Lin was challenged.
Especially after Luo Jinxin took out the half-corpse potion and the bronze sword.
Ji Yuetong had already explained the effects of the half-corpse potion to them, and then she mentioned the bronze sword:
"This sword is also related to zombies. It's made primarily of copper, incorporating powder from zombie nails, bones, and teeth. After being forged using a special method, this sword acquired some peculiar effects, including being poisonous to zombies. Once you're injured by this sword..."
