Looking at the burly man in front of him filled with murderous aura, Xiao Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This guy was a bit different from the infantrymen he had imagined.
"Tell me about your situation?" Xiao Fan sat on the hospital bed and gave his soldier a military salute, his face also becoming serious as he unconsciously stepped into the role of commander-in-chief.
"Commander-in-chief, we infantrymen have all undergone basic military training. Our combat effectiveness will continue to improve as we increase in rank. Each Red Alert unit starts at no stars and as we kill more targets, we will gain stars, up to three stars maximum. Among Red Alert units, the marksmanship of infantrymen is not the best, but we also know basic combat skills. With no stars, every infantryman can easily defeat two average adults, and we have no fear. "
After speaking, he introduced his firearm.
"We use the Type 81 automatic rifle, with a total length of 955 mm and weighing 2.5 kg. It is equipped with 7.62mm caliber ammunition, with a 30-round magazine that automatically replenishes every 24 hours. Under normal weather conditions, the effective range is 400 meters!"
After listening to Wang Zhan's introduction, Xiao Fan was secretly delighted.
As expected of a soldier. With this physique, he was stronger than ordinary people. Just standing there in a group gave off a strong sense of pressure.
Also, the Type 81 automatic rifle had been battle-tested. It was solid and reliable with good performance. Plus the automatic replenishment of ammunition every day was like a magic weapon for him right now, since he had no ability to produce bullets.
Xiao Fan looked Wang Zhan up and down and noticed he had a military backpack behind him.
"What's in here?"
"Commander-in-chief, there are rations for one meal and my sleeping bag inside. The sleeping bag can be used to rest. I only need to sleep four hours a day to ensure abundant energy. The rations for one meal include a canteen, two compressed biscuits and a can of beef. These foods also replenish every 24 hours as my basic survival rations."
Xiao Fan was also a military enthusiast and knew about military rations, but looking at Wang Zhan's physique, this didn't seem like quite enough.
"That's just one meal. What about your other two meals?"
"Commander-in-chief, other food needs to be provided by you. We can collect it on your orders, then you can process and distribute it!"
Xiao Fan was surprised: "I also have to be responsible for cooking?"
At this time, Annie answered on Wang Zhan's behalf: "Commander-in-chief, you can assign someone else to cook. But the Red Alert system has not endowed ordinary soldiers with the talent for cooking. Or you could produce a cooking squad in your combat sequence after you get promoted to company commander."
Xiao Fan nodded. Indeed, it would be asking too much for ordinary soldiers focused on combat and sentry duty to cook.
But his own cooking skills really weren't up to par either. He was just a lowly squad leader. He didn't know how long it would take to get promoted to company commander. It looked like he should try to find any survivors who knew how to cook.
Snap!
"Commander, watch out!"
As the two were talking, suddenly a pitch-black claw reached in from behind Xiao Fan's bed!
It turned out that the zombies outside had finished the corpses and sensed the sounds or smells coming from the ward, already tearing open the mattress to attack!
At this critical moment, Wang Zhan pounced over and grabbed the zombie's claw, slowing its actions and allowing Xiao Fan to narrowly dodge the zombie's strike!
Xiao Fan was also greatly shocked and hurriedly retreated.
The mattress was torn further as three zombies outside, one doctor zombie in a white coat and two patient zombies in hospital gowns, struggled to push the hospital bed, about to rush in.
Xiao Fan hurriedly said to Wang Zhan: "Are you injured?"
"It's fine. It takes time for the zombie virus infection to take effect, enough for me to deal with the zombies."
"Can you smoothly handle these few zombies?"
"Commander-in-chief, it would be easier to shoot them, but gunshots here are likely to attract more zombies. So please wait in the corner of the ward while I take care of them in close combat."
Xiao Fan nodded and dragged his injured leg to the corner of the ward, wanting to see how Wang Zhan would handle the zombies at close range.
He saw Wang Zhan take the rifle off his back and with a flick underneath the barrel, it split apart with a click, revealing a bright bayonet!
The gleam and sharp blade tip with its three blood grooves proved this was definitely a killing tool!
All of this made Xiao Fan, a military enthusiast, look on with shining eyes.
With the bayonet in both hands, Wang Zhan stabbed towards the doctor zombie who was just about to come through the door!
Puff!
A pillar of black blood shot upwards!
With this standard thrust, the bayonet directly pierced the zombie's forehead, piercing through the back of its skull and sending blood and brain matter flying!
The zombie who had just been snarling ferociously now widened its eyes in shock. Wang Zhan swiftly pulled out the bayonet and the zombie's body immediately collapsed limply without even a twitch, having lost all vitality.
Compared to Xiao Fan's record of killing a zombie with three shots, the infantryman's combat effectiveness could definitely be described as powerful!
After killing the doctor zombie with one strike, Wang Zhan kicked its body aside, then brandished the bayonet to attack again.
Another patient zombie was just about to rush in but was also struck down by Wang Zhan.
After consecutively killing two zombies, a small accident occurred when facing the third zombie.
Being too close, and not wanting the zombie to enter and threaten the commander-in-chief while blocking the door, Wang Zhan did not evade the swipe of the zombie's claws and was raked across the chest, leaving several wounds. The zombie was originally human so its nails weren't sharp, but after mutation they had grown to around five centimeters, as sharp as small knives, directly leaving these gashes on Wang Zhan's chest.
However, Wang Zhan did not hesitate either, finishing off this zombie with another thrust.
After the triple kill, Wang Zhan swiftly went to one of the female patient zombies, took a gold necklace from its neck, and brought it inside to Xiao Fan.
"Commander-in-chief, here."
Xiao Fan took it and converted 33 gold, bringing his total funds up to 35.
Looking at the wounds on Wang Zhan's arms and chest, Xiao Fan frowned, just about to speak, when Annie's upgrade prompt sounded: "Commander-in-chief, don't forget your medical kit."
Xiao Fan was startled, and hurriedly took out his medical kit.
Opening it, there was a medicine for treating wounds and stopping bleeding, some bandages, and a pale blue serum.
The serum could treat the zombie virus, without a doubt an invaluable item in the apocalypse. It could prevent infection.
But for Xiao Fan it didn't matter, since the system equipment refreshed every 24 hours.
Without hesitation, he gave the serum to Wang Zhan: "Drink this."
Wang Zhan immediately followed the order unconditionally, taking the serum and drinking it down in one gulp.
Xiao Fan also took out the medicine and applied it to the wound on his leg, then took the bandages and crudely wrapped it.
With the medicine and bandages applied, the wound instantly felt warm and much more comfortable.
Taking out his backpack, he put away the medical kit, and Xiao Fan simply took off his patient gown as well, changing into the squad leader military uniform given by the system.
Dressed in greens from head to toe, the crisp uniform even had shoulder marks, with two crossed rifles over one thin stripe.
Putting on his military cap and revolver at his waist, checking himself out in the ward mirror, Xiao Fan felt he looked simply dashing.
Before he could finish admiring himself, Wang Zhan was already reminding him.
"Commander-in-chief, this ward is no longer safe. The zombie corpses at the door will soon attract more zombies. We must transfer locations quickly!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
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.
