A shot landed on the zombie's shoulder, and a black liquid spurted out.
The zombie's body slightly recoiled, but immediately regained its composure and attempted to rush through the door slit again.
"Commander, the zombies' mutation is caused by viral invasion of the brain. Essentially, these things are already dead, and other parts of their bodies don't have pain receptors. To kill them, you have to destroy their brain tissue!" Annie's voice came through.
Upon hearing Annie's advice, Xiao Fan immediately realized his mistake. These were not ordinary people; shooting required precision.
Adjusting his shooting angle, Xiao Fan took another shot.
He was less than two meters away from the zombie. Although it was his first time handling a gun, if he couldn't hit at this distance, he might as well end his own life.
The shot blossomed inside the zombie's mouth!
More blood splattered, but the zombie didn't fall.
This time, without waiting for Annie's reminder, Xiao Fan understood the problem.
The brain should refer to the cerebrum, located in the upper part of the brain.
Once again, he adjusted the angle and took a shot!
Bang~~~!
The head of the nurse zombie tilted backward, and black blood splattered!
The zombie's pupils dilated, and its body collapsed limply. Having already died once, its body had finally lost all signs of life and would never stand up again.
The nurse zombie fell, and the head nurse zombie followed.
A pair of dark claws reached inside, and Xiao Fan immediately noticed the jewelry on them.
The head nurse was slightly older than the nurse, probably married. On her hand, she not only had a gold bracelet but also a diamond ring!
"It's you!"
Having learned from his two previous missed shots, Xiao Fan focused and aimed precisely. He fired a shot.
With the head nurse's fall, the outside of the door finally fell silent.
Ignoring his leg injury, Xiao Fan quickly got off the bed and squeezed through the crack in the door.
The corridor carried a strong smell of blood, and there were still zombie figures wandering in the distance.
The gun's sound was relatively quiet, and combined with the fact that he fired it inside the ward, it fortunately didn't attract too many zombies.
Xiao Fan quickly squatted down and, overcoming his disgust, searched the zombie's body.
The nurse zombie had two rings—one gold and one platinum. Carefully avoiding the sharp nails, Xiao Fan took them all off.
As soon as he took them off, Annie's voice sounded in his mind: "Rare metals discovered. Convert them into system funds. Proceed?"
"Convert."
"Ding! Conversion successful. Acquired 27 funds."
The two rings weighed 27 grams, and he obtained 27 funds from the system. However, he still had a considerable way to go before reaching the 100 gold required to produce an infantryman.
At this moment, the commotion seemed to have attracted the attention of some zombies.
Zombies in the distance began staggering toward this direction.
Xiao Fan acted quickly, once again pulling the hand of the head nurse zombie and taking a gold bracelet and a diamond ring from it.
"Convert!"
The gold bracelet converted into 28 gold, and the diamond ring converted into 40 gold.
Diamonds can also be converted into funds, but the system requires natural diamonds. It seems that the nurse's diamond ring is authentic and not an artificially crafted imitation.
The platinum setting of the ring is worth 10 gold, while the diamonds are worth 30 gold, making a total of 40 gold.
Adding the previous 24 gold, there is a total of 92 gold!
Just 8 gold short!
As the zombies approached, Xiao Fan felt a sense of urgency. He was about to reluctantly retreat to the ward when his eyes caught sight of two platinum earrings on the nurse zombie's ears!
Xiao Fan was overjoyed and quickly reached out to snatch the earrings.
Taking the earrings, he swiftly turned back to the ward and stood the mattress upright, blocking the room's door!
Although several zombies had arrived at the door, they didn't immediately enter the ward. It seemed that the mattress was shielding them from detection, as they were now drawn to the two zombie bodies on the ground.
Sounds of devouring came from outside the door as Xiao Fan sat down, leaning against the mattress, breathing heavily.
He wasn't physically exhausted, but rather mentally tense. His back was already damp with sweat.
Only when Annie's voice reminded him that funds could be converted did Xiao Fan start to recover a bit. He immediately converted the two earrings into system funds.
Both platinum and gold have the same ratio. Each earring weighed 5 grams, totaling 10 grams.
Soon, the conversion was complete, and Xiao Fan possessed 102 funds!
Although the zombies were still outside, who knew whether they would target him after finishing their feast. Xiao Fan decided to start producing immediately.
He opened the soldier unit page and selected the only infantryman he could currently produce.
Deducting 100 funds, production began and would take one minute.
During this time, Annie provided Xiao Fan with an introduction to the infantryman.
"Commander, the infantryman is the basic combat unit of our army. They are not just cold and mechanical robots; they are also flesh-and-blood humans. They possess innate combat instincts and can engage in basic communication. If you carefully check their identities, you'll find that they all have identities. They may be people who died in some place, so there won't be a situation where they are unidentifiable. Moreover, every Red Alert unit is infinitely loyal to you."
Listening to Annie's introduction, Xiao Fan nodded continuously. Since they were all humans, he would treat his soldiers as comrades and never use them as mere tools.
However, according to Annie's explanation, it seemed that the infantryman couldn't engage in deep-level communication. Xiao Fan wondered if other Red Alert units were the same.
One minute quickly passed, and the infantryman finished production.
The infantryman didn't appear out of thin air but rather walked out from the ward's restroom.
Annie explained that newly born Red Alert units automatically chose to appear in places where no one could see them to avoid raising suspicion.
Now wasn't the time to worry about these trivial details. Xiao Fan looked at the newly emerged infantryman, slightly stunned.
He was over 1.8 meters tall, with a tanned complexion and full-body camouflage. Even with loose-fitting camouflage clothing, the bulging muscles underneath were visible.
Wearing a military cap and carrying a rifle on his back, this burly man approached Xiao Fan. The overwhelming aura of solemnity and killing intent proved that this infantryman was definitely more than just a new recruit.
Standing in front of Xiao Fan, the infantryman, Wang Zhan, stood at attention and saluted Xiao Fan with a standard military gesture.
"Infantryman Wang Zhan reporting to the commanding officer. Your will is the purpose of my existence!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
