Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

An unknown location.

Lin Yi muttered, then opened the door.

"According to the story's routine, I should be greeted by a slender blonde beauty first..."

"Owww..."

A roar echoed from afar.

"A zombie? Seriously? Your imagination is really off, why not a sexy female ghost or something? Actually... phew!"

Lin Yi remembered being imprisoned by female psychopaths in Paris City, their gaze made him feel disgusted...

The door wasn't fully opened.

Lin Yi stuck his head out.

"Hey, my slender blonde beauty is here..."

Lin Yi smiled.

He saw a once-sexy girl wobbling towards him in high heels.

By the fresh wounds on her abdomen and neck, it's clear she had just turned into a zombie.

The female zombie banged against the door, trying to push it open, but even Lin Yi couldn't fully open this door, so the small zombie stood no chance.

The zombie hissed and moaned, trying to push the door open but failed.

Then, she decided to crawl through the gap.

"Let me think... how should I kill you? I have no weapon, can I use love? Hmm..."

The zombie extended her arms and legs through the door gap.

Lin Yi noticed she was wearing a pair of seemingly expensive shoes...

He gently and carefully removed Cinderella's glass slipper, breaking the slender heel.

He grinned at the living dead girl, and then stabbed the heel into her eye, pressing down with all his strength until the heel pierced her brain.

[Congratulations!]

You have successfully completed the first challenge, and now officially become a player!

Welcome to the Trial Dungeon!

You can choose: Complete the trial and earn rewards, or die.

[Good luck!]

"Come on, what is..."

[You have obtained a Trial Coin]

[Your current balance: 1]

"Understood... Sorry, I have no choice!"

Although Lin Yi said this, he felt no guilt whatsoever.

He just stripped the female zombie's clothes off, tore them into strips, and wrapped them around his feet.

Then made something like a loincloth.

You get the idea!

At this moment, he held the two high heels he had taken, ready to venture into this "world."

Finally opening the door, he left the room and found himself in a long underground hallway.

The lighting was extremely dim, with only two faint bulbs lit, one of which kept flickering.

Nearby were several rusty doors, but Lin Yi had no desire to open them.

He walked along the hallway and saw rows of iron bars on both sides, like a prison cell in movies.

Beyond the bars were some impressive-looking devices, filled with rust and mildew but still operational... the left one was leaking.

The entire ground was covered in a puddle of greasy water.

"Owww!"

A gasp-like roar sounded, and a zombie emerged from the darkness, crashing into the bars.

Lin Yi thought the zombie would appear from the left because he had seen a shadow in the dim light, but the zombie emerged from the right!

It pulled the bars with all its might, but the bars were quite sturdy, it couldn't break through.

"Ahhhh!"

A zombie roared from the left side.

It ran towards Lin Yi, reaching through the bars.

Then another zombie appeared, and soon...

Both sides were filled with a horde of zombies.

They started shaking the bars, producing suspicious friction sounds, small pieces of plaster falling...

Realizing the situation was dire, Lin Yi ran forward, spotting a short staircase and a steel door.

"Locked?"

Lin Yi began searching for a key, with a wall of bars behind him shakily almost collapsing.

Found it!

A string of keys hung on a nail not far from the bars. He quickly grabbed them and rushed back.

"Which key?!"

Nine keys were on the ring!

Three small ones appeared to open normal doors, while the other six were larger.

The first key was wrong...

Meanwhile, the second wall of bars was about to give way, and a zombie was about to crawl over it.

Lin Yi tried the second key, and then...

The door opened!

The cliche scene in horror movies where the protagonist chooses the correct key at the last moment did not happen this time.

Lin Yi immediately went inside, shut and locked the door.

After catching his breath, he saw a staircase leading to another door.

Lin Yi climbed approximately forty steps without somehow twisting an ankle.

He removed the soaked cloth from his feet, tore a piece from the loincloth, and used this dry cloth to rewrap his feet.

He looked to the left, then to the right.

He found himself in a dimly lit hallway, both ends shrouded in darkness.

Randomly, he chose to walk left.

"Who's there?" At this moment, a woman spoke in Chinese from behind one of the doors.

There was a small window on that door, just enough to reach in a hand, and the voice came from there.

"It's a baby!" Lin Yi answered truthfully.

"A human? Great, please, you must save me! The key should be hanging on the wall next to the door. Open this door! Please, I'm begging you!"

"Why should I save you?"

"What do you mean, why not save me?" The woman exclaimed, both confused and shocked.

Lin Yi asked directly again, "Why should I save you? Give me a reason!"

"A reason?!"

"Uh-huh..." he smiled.

In every horror movie he's watched, women always bring more trouble than anything else, including those human-hunting monsters.

The woman was momentarily speechless, screaming and kicking the door.

"...Let me out!"

Her kick was strong, the door shook, but remained unbreakable.

"Let me out, let me out!!"

The woman screamed, her voice piercing, making Lin Yi constantly wonder if it was really a woman...

She kicked the door with all her might, but it was unusually sturdy.

Lin Yi felt that breaking the door would be harder than breaking the wall next to it. Actually, the gypsum board there had already started to crumble...

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi returned to the stairway.

He turned to the right.

There were women on the other side as well, but... going right seemed safer and less troublesome.

A few minutes later, he reached another crossroad, then turned left. After walking about fifty meters, he saw a man standing with his back to him.

"Hey! Dude, I know you're a zombie."

Lin Yi's words were heard by the man in front, who immediately turned around and looked at him.

"Damn!"

He shouted, and in panic, made a cross sign in front of his chest in the wrong way.

The zombie's head didn't turn normally but rotated 180 degrees directly backward, with a large mouth full of fangs wide open.

Once the head was fixed, its body quickly turned to face him.

The zombie lunged fiercely at the bare Lin Yi, and Lin Yi charged towards the zombie as well.

But just a few centimeters from the creature, Lin Yi jumped, his double feet kicking the zombie's chest hard.

This was just one of the many skills he learned from Solomon.

He kept a strict workout and training regimen, with Solomon and Hubert always helping him.

The undead creature was kicked six meters away.

Its chest made a creepy cracking sound, with a few ribs even sticking out of its back.

After landing, its body skidded a few more meters, the exposed ribs scraping the ground with a harsh sound.

Lin Yi rolled backward, landing on his butt, with his thighs hitting the ground, hurting like hell.

Doing a flying kick on a mat is one thing, doing it on concrete is quite another...

"My butt is so cold..."

Lin Yi mumbled, then jumped up again.

"Roar..."

The creature howled, trying to get up.

"Now I know why so many women survived; they all have deadly weapons!"

He chuckled, using the stiletto heel to stab the monster in the eye.

The creature howled, frantically struggling, with its arms, which had been drooping like limp ropes, now desperately trying to pull the heel out of its eye socket.

But Lin Yi was as relentless as ever.

He stomped hard on the shoe, driving the heel deep into the monster's brain, ending this... bizarre creature's brief existence.

Due to the dim light, he hadn't really seen what the monster looked like before.

"Ha, ten coins! This guy seems pretty tough... but the clothes stink to high heaven, I can endure..."

Lin Yi said, without hesitation, starting to rummage through the zombie's corpse, thankfully, he found strawberry-flavored gum in one of the zombie's pockets.

"What a freaky dream."

Pfft!

He tried to blow a bubble with the gum, but since he hadn't done it in over ten years, his bubble-blowing skills had rusted, the bubble burst immediately, splattering half his face.

But Lin Yi didn't give up, and a minute later, he was skillfully blowing bubbles like an expert.

Standing in this damp basement, next to the corpse of some mutant creature.

Blowing bubbles made him feel great!

Lin Yi continued forward.

His next target was around the corner.

It was a large-bodied zombie, but not a mutant type, wandering in the corridor.

As soon as it saw Lin Yi, it roared and charged straight at him.

Lin Yi's "killing heels" were gone, but now he had another weapon.

A leather belt with a metal buckle!

He swung the belt like a whip, using the buckle to whip the zombie hard.

Crack, crack!

The zombie staggered back, confused.

Lin Yi cunningly seized the chance to charge at the zombie, knocking it to the ground.

Then he quickly moved, forcefully twisting, causing the zombie's right arm to go limp instantaneously.

The zombie began to struggle wildly, but he grabbed its head and slammed it hard onto the ground.

Again, and again...

It was a bloody and labor-intensive method of killing zombies, but at that moment, there was no better choice.

Stomp its spine?

The last difficult move had already made his butt hurt terribly...

After slamming it on the ground fifteen times, the zombie finally died for good, dropping a coin.

[Your current balance: 12]

"Not bad, now I've got to think about how to spend these coins, but for now..."

The bare-chested man looked at the zombie's clothed corpse, and laughed...
