Double the happiness comes with double the reward.
Perhaps because Zhang Lin was with Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui at the same time, afterward, Zhang Lin asked them if they would be willing to become his wives. After receiving an affirmative answer, their rewards were combined and distributed together.
Zhang Lin did not obtain the awakening gem he wanted, and the twin sisters could not awaken for the time being. However, he did obtain a secret weapon.
A Miao knife.
As shown in the picture, the monk Jiaqian is using a Miao knife.
The system reward at the time was a weapon embryo, and Zhang Lin could freely choose what kind of weapon it was.
The Miao Dao is a traditional weapon of the Han Chinese. It is called Miao Dao because its blade is long and slender and resembles a seedling. Legend has it that it originated from the ring-pommel sword of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Lin didn't know much about cold weapons, but on the eve of the apocalypse, he happened to see a popular science video about the Miao sword. He learned that the Miao sword was relatively advanced among cold weapons and had great power. Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty even used a modified Miao sword to defeat Japanese pirates.
Therefore, he ultimately chose to transform the weapon embryo into a Miao sword.
The rewards for the two people were combined into one weapon. This Miao sword is certainly not that simple; it has another unique characteristic:
The netherworld!
The Miao sword possesses the power of the netherworld. When it kills an enemy, it absorbs the enemy's essence, energy, and spirit, permanently enhancing the power of the Miao sword and providing a certain degree of recovery for the sword's owner.
It's somewhat like equipment with lifesteal properties in games.
In this way, Zhang Lin would not be afraid of a protracted war; with the Miao sword at his disposal, he would hardly ever be exhausted.
Moreover, the Miao Dao can increase its power without limit; this weapon can be said to become stronger the more it is used.
The ability to grow infinitely is incredibly powerful, no matter where you put it.
Especially now, facing the zombie siege, those densely packed zombies are the perfect targets for sacrificing the Miao sword. After a great battle, as long as Zhang Lin doesn't die, the power of the Miao sword might increase to a terrifying level!
Zhang Lin wasn't in a hurry, as the Miao Dao was still stored in the system's space. He had already consulted with Ji Yuetong and learned that in the early stages of fighting zombies, there wouldn't be many opportunities for melee combat, so the Miao Dao wouldn't be very useful.
Hopefully, the number of humans in the city is limited, a mere drop in the ocean compared to the seemingly endless army of zombies. The city lord will not choose to fight the zombies head-on; he has made many preparations for today's zombie siege.
Beneath the ground outside the city, there are countless explosives buried. The city lord is waiting for the zombies to crowd outside Hope City before detonating the explosives to cause the greatest damage.
Within Hope City, those whom the city lord could trust also possessed explosives, albeit in small quantities. However, the city lord would not order hand-to-hand combat until these explosives were used up.
Of course, no one dared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the zombies.
The five defense zones within the city, including Zhang Lin's, are tasked with preventing scattered zombies from breaking into the city at this stage.
After two rounds of explosives, taking advantage of the zombie army's disarray, the real task for the captains of the five defense zones came: to turn defense into offense, launch a surprise attack, kill the zombie king, and leave the zombie army leaderless.
Normally, the zombie kings are very cunning, hiding in the heart of the zombie army. To kill them, you have to deal with the zombie army first, which is almost impossible.
Only by taking advantage of the chaos caused by the two explosions can we seize the opportunity to kill the Corpse King.
After the surprise attack, the situation completely spiraled out of control.
Zombies will flood into the city. Apart from the current combat personnel in the five defense zones, everyone else in Hope City must fight the zombies.
At that time, it all depended on whether the people from the five defense zones could kill the Corpse King.
The Zombie King has been killed, and the zombie army is out of control. Humans can unite their forces, divide the battlefield, and eliminate the zombies one by one.
If the Zombie King cannot be killed, the zombie army, under his command, will turn around and divide humanity, eventually devouring them all.
Having understood the process, Zhang Lin was no longer in a hurry.
Now is not the time for bloodshed with the Miao sword.
Inside the iron fence, Zhang Lin stood at the front, surrounded by a dense crowd of people, and in front of him, an even denser mass of zombies.
Most of the people who can join the defense zone are those who have awakened their memories and are very experienced in killing zombies. Some of them are even the city lord's confidants, and they have weapons such as explosives in their hands.
Before the apocalypse, it was a peaceful and stable society. Although the city lord had connections everywhere, he couldn't get his hands on many firearms. He was already quite lucky to be able to get some explosives for mining.
There are guns in the city, but very few, and bullets are even more limited. In the end, they will still have to rely on hand-to-hand combat to win against the zombies.
"The zombies are getting closer!"
Someone cried out in terror.
Although some people have experienced zombie sieges many times, they still tremble with fear and feel cold hands and feet when faced with this terrifying zombie army.
"Captain Zhang, you need to be prepared." A man in a Hope City property management uniform said, "Captain Ji should have explained the specific procedures to you, right?"
"I know. You detonate the explosives in a bit, and I'll lead the men out to kill the Corpse King!" Zhang Lin said calmly.
"That's good!" The man holding the detonation button nodded and said with some admiration, "This is your first time experiencing a zombie siege, and you're still so calm. No wonder the city lord values you so much."
Zhang Lin didn't want to respond to that.
He continued, "I remember the first time, I even peed my pants. I just stared blankly at the zombies outside, completely dumbfounded. When the zombies attacked, I fought them with my pants still wet!"
These words resonated with everyone around them.
"Haha, who isn't? When I killed my first zombie, I completely lost consciousness until a zombie almost pounced on my face before I came to my senses," a burly man appointed by Zhang Lin as a squad leader laughed loudly.
The people around them started talking all at once, trying to ease their tension as a great battle was about to begin.
Zhang Lin remained silent, but a smile appeared on his face. He found it quite amusing to listen to each guy recount their embarrassing moments.
His calm and relaxed attitude has also inspired many people, making them feel at ease.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the loudspeaker at the back:
"The zombies are approaching. Everyone in the defense zones, get ready! Use the walls as a barrier to make sure the zombies are packed together in a dense cluster so that the explosives can cause maximum damage!"
Zhang Lin looked at the horde of zombies outside the iron fence, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly to the people around him, "Get ready! Don't let a single zombie get in before the explosives detonate!"
"yes!"
This is a life-or-death crisis that everyone faces together. Even if you have a thousand thoughts in normal times, at this moment they all turn into one thought—to survive.
Finally, the first zombie made contact with the iron fence. It roared and squeezed its body into the gaps in the fence, stretching out its arms to attack the people inside the city.
