Back at the convenience store, Qin Shilei carefully reviewed the recording and the photo of the silver treasure chest again.
The silver treasure chest was located on a cliff, guarded by a fierce eagle.
The eagle's strength was unknown, and going to retrieve it now was too risky.
The giant zombie possessed astonishing strength and a degree of intelligence.
He suspected he couldn't withstand even a single blow from it.
Furthermore, its horde of zombie minions were no ordinary foes; once surrounded, there was a risk of being bitten to death.
"Can I use the drone to lure out its minions first, so you can kill them?"
Zhang Xiaoli suggested.
"It's useless. There are too many zombies in the campus. If those are killed, it can always recruit another batch,"
Qin Shilei quickly dismissed the idea.
"Then, can we lure the giant zombie out and deal with it alone?"
Zhang Xiaoli desperately tried to come up with ideas, hoping to increase her value in Qin Shilei's eyes.
"That's what I was thinking too. The question is, how can we lure it out, and where would be most advantageous for us,"
Qin Shilei rubbed his nose, pondering deeply.
Zhang Xiaoli's face suddenly turned grim, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Quick, look at the chat channel, the giant zombie seems to be heading towards our girls' dormitory."
Qin Shilei opened the chat channel.
"Thank goodness, the giant zombie is finally going somewhere else."
"Did it really leave? I'm on the eighth floor, the innermost room of Dormitory Five, and I'm still trembling."
"I just saw a drone fly over, and then the zombies went in another direction."
"Thanks to the drone's owner, I owe you my life."
"The giant zombie is about to descend upon the girls' dormitory to ravage our goddesses, everyone, go to the rescue!"
"Those upstairs, go ahead, I'll support you spiritually."
"With no women in one's heart, swordsmanship naturally becomes divine. For the sake of the Dao in one's heart, they must be sacrificed."
In the male dormitory area of Ancheng University, some were rejoicing that the giant zombie had finally left; some were planning to leave while the giant zombie was gone; and others were using the opportunity to kill zombies and strengthen themselves.
Qin Shilei suddenly stood up and said, "Grab the drone, let's go upstairs."
Zhang Xiaoli cast a lingering glance at the items in the convenience store, then quickly grabbed the drone and followed Qin Shilei up to the fifth floor.
"Launch the drone, lure the giant zombie back to the male dormitory area."
"Then make a loop and come back."
"I'll go to that dormitory to set things up, and then you lure the giant zombie over."
Qin Shilei finished speaking quickly, grabbed some items from the convenience store, and then ran towards An Qian's dormitory building.
As the drone took flight, the giant zombie, enraged, ran back towards the male dormitory.
Immediately, the chat channel erupted with various voices of complaint and resentment.
"Damn it, the drone has lured the giant zombie back again."
"The giant zombie is heading towards my dorm building, what should I do?"
"Could it be that this giant zombie is gay and doesn't like pretty girls?"
"Whoever has a drone, quickly fly it out and lure this bastard away."
Qin Shilei spent about ten minutes killing the more than twenty zombies that Zhang Yong had lured over yesterday.
He then spent another two minutes setting up various things.
Finally, he spent one minute spraying himself with a generous amount of perfume.
Once everything was ready, he signaled to Zhang Xiaoli across the way.
Then he ran into the dormitory on the second floor, near the stairs, closed the door, and hid.
Zhang Xiaoli returned the signal, replaced the drone's battery, and flew towards the male dormitory building again.
"It came, and it left again."
"Is it really okay to provoke the giant zombie like this with a drone?"
"The drone is flying low, luring the giant zombie directly towards the girls' dormitory."
The giant zombie, furious, followed the drone into the girls' dormitory area, with thirty to forty sturdy zombie minions trailing behind it.
The drone flew upwards, skimming past Qin Shilei's dormitory building.
The giant zombie also lumbered up the stairs in pursuit.
Qin Shilei, inside his room, heard the thunderous footsteps rapidly approaching and then swiftly receding outside.
After silently counting to five in his mind, he quickly opened the door and stepped out.
At that moment, the footsteps from upstairs had just stopped; the giant zombie had likely reached the top floor, the eighth floor.
Everything was as Qin Shilei had anticipated: no zombies in the stairwell or corridors.
Perhaps the giant zombie found the dormitory building too cramped, and it hadn't called for its minions to follow it up.
He picked up the rope on the ground and pulled forcefully. The iron gate on the first floor of the dormitory closed and locked with the pull of the rope. The giant zombie's minions were instantly blocked outside on the open ground by the iron gate.
To be safe, Qin Shilei also pushed the wooden bed, which he had placed in the corridor earlier, onto the stairs, completely blocking the stairwell.
Then he quickly ran upstairs.
The thunderous footsteps came from upstairs again, descending.
Having lost its target, the drone, the giant zombie impatiently ran downstairs.
When the giant zombie reached the stairwell entrance on the seventh floor.
Qin Shilei had just reached the fifth floor.
He took out the cooking oil and soybeans next to the stairwell and poured them down the stairs.
Seeing the giant zombie within his line of sight, Qin Shilei leaped over the stair railing and slid down.
"Roar!"
The enraged giant zombie, upon seeing Qin Shilei, a living person, immediately accelerated its pursuit.
"Ugh!"
As the giant zombie stepped onto the stairs from the fifth to the fourth floor, its feet slipped, and it pitched forward, falling.
In its bloodshot eyes, a sharp long sword appeared in front of its head, waiting for it to impale itself.
At the last moment, it only had time to extend its arm to block its head.
Its right arm was severed at the elbow.
The sharp Seven Star Sword also carved a deep gash on the giant zombie's cheek.
"Boom!"
The giant zombie's head crashed into the wall, causing the entire building to shake.
The brick wall also cracked in a circular pattern.
Before it could recover from the daze, Qin Shilei executed a "Splitting the Mountain" strike, aiming for its neck.
In a life-or-death struggle, the giant zombie used its left hand to push off the ground and flipped over.
Its raised left hand conveniently blocked its neck.
The Seven Star Sword, after cutting through an arm as thick as a thigh, could only leave a shallow sword mark on the zombie's neck.
"This time, let's see what you can block with!"
Qin Shilei raised his sword and struck again at the sword mark on its neck.
But the giant zombie once again moved its remaining half-arm to block its neck.
With a single strike, more of the zombie's arms were severed.
Now, with its legs on the steps, head downwards, and both arms gone, the giant zombie was in a position where it could not easily stand up.
It could only be a sitting duck.
After Qin Shilei struck three more times, he finally severed its massive head.
A bronze treasure chest simultaneously appeared beside the zombie's corpse.
Now that there was no one else around, Qin Shilei tried to refresh the treasure chest's attributes.
[Ding, this item cannot be refreshed at this time.]
Qin Shilei had no choice but to open the treasure chest.
One white and one green item appeared before his eyes.
"As expected, I'm still unlucky."
The last time he and An Qian killed a zombie, it was much weaker than this giant zombie, yet it yielded two green items.
Now, there was only one white and one green.
Inferior Shortbow (White): This is just a child's toy. You don't expect to kill zombies with it, do you?
Qin Shilei's head was filled with black lines.
Can't I use it to lure monsters?
Given the system's poor evaluation, he was reluctant to use a precious refresh attempt on this bow.
Qin Shilei casually slung it over his back.
Flash Step (Green): Increases speed by 30% for a short duration, with a cooldown of 10 minutes.
[Attempt to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
Three light circles appeared: one white and two green.
Dedication (White): Allows one-third of the effect of Flash Step to be bestowed upon others.
Tenacity (Green): Doubles the duration of Flash Step.
Wall-Climbing (Green): Allows Flash Step to be used on steep surfaces, achieving a wall-climbing effect.
After a moment's consideration, Qin Shilei chose the Wall-Climbing attribute.
