Although his work time was temporarily limited due to physical strength, fortunately, he was about to be promoted to Second Tier soon. All he had to do was complete the final three steps for his promotion to Second Tier: clearing the sewers, cleaning out the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City branch, and finally, taking down the Tracker.
So, barring any accidents, Zhang Yanhang would definitely be promoted to Second Tier tomorrow. Mainly because of the blessing from "Multi-Option Talent," his success in clearing out the entire Raccoon City was beyond doubt.
As a Destiny System’s "Talent," based on Zhang Yanhang’s own experience, he knew that whatever option he chose, no matter how preposterous, it would ultimately come true.
Therefore, with the support of the options, Zhang Yanhang now feared nothing, full of confidence, even wishing he could go fight the Tracker right now and tear it apart on the spot.
But unfortunately, it was still not possible. He had to first complete the preliminary prerequisites, that is, clearing the sewers and the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City branch.
"So, just keep working hard. I just hope to clear the sewers as soon as possible." Zhang Yanhang suddenly stopped halfway down the branching road, not for any other particular reason, but simply because he had encountered zombies.
Currently in his "Perception," there were three student zombies dressed in school uniforms, lying hand in hand in the sewer’s mud. In order not to destroy their camaraderie as classmates, Zhang Yanhang immediately fired three shots at their heads, killing them before they had the chance to stand up.

The student zombies, who had just sat up due to the vibrations, instantly had their heads blown open by blood holes and lay back down. Only this time, they went from playing dead to being truly dead, unable to ambush anyone ever again.
Looking at the bodies of the student zombies lying on the ground, Zhang Yanhang nodded in satisfaction. "Although we weren’t born on the same day of the same month of the same year, at the very least we can achieve dying in the same year, the same month, the same day, the same hour, the same minute, and the same second. This is what true camaraderie among classmates really means." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel⸺fire.net
"Speaking of which, I just killed a Teacher Zombie up ahead, and now I’ve quickly killed three Student Zombies. There’s certainly some relationship between them. Even if there’s no other special connection, at least there’s a teacher-student relationship."
Zhang Yanhang was mainly curious as to why there were Student Zombies and Teacher Zombies in the sewer; he didn’t recall any schools near the Dulda Apartments.
He had never encountered any Student Zombies or Teacher Zombies in his previous sewer cleaning experience. Usually, he met various Worker Zombies or sometimes homeless Zombies.
"Nevermind, these details aren’t important. What’s important is that these stingy Student Zombies didn’t drop a treasure box..." After killing the Student Zombies, Zhang Yanhang stood still for a few seconds but didn’t see any drop treasure box.
Although he didn’t get a treasure box, Zhang Yanhang wasn’t too disappointed because, according to normal drop rates, it typically took seven to eight zombies to drop a treasure box.
Using "Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil," Zhang Yanhang perceived the environment around him, then continued running towards the deepest part of the branching road.
Besides the three Student Zombies in the middle of the branching path, Zhang Yanhang had also discovered several more zombies further back.
"Why do the monsters in this part of the sewer appear to be so plentiful?" When Zhang Yanhang had cleaned the Core Area and the Middle Layer of the sewers before, he often ran through several branches without encountering any zombies, and in most cases, if there were zombies in the branches, there were only one or two.
Yet the zombies nearby often hung out in groups, which seemed excessively friendly compared to the sewers he had cleaned last time.
"It couldn’t be because the zombies here are also attracted to the Transmission Channels?"
Since Zhang Yanhang entered the sewer system through a manhole near the Dulda Apartments, he now wondered if the sewer was also affected by the Transmission Channels, causing the monster density in the nearby sewer to increase.
"Perhaps there really is such a possibility..." Perceiving upwards with "Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil," Zhang Yanhang realized that his current position was right beneath the Dulda Apartments.
"If it’s a distance of this magnitude, it could indeed be affected. But the sewer, after all, is just a sewer; even if the monster density is somewhat higher, it is still quite sparse compared to the above-ground parts of Raccoon City."
As Zhang Yanhang was contemplating whether the nearby sewers were affected by the Transmission Channels, he didn’t stop moving forward, and soon he encountered the zombies he had perceived earlier.
There were five zombies, all of them despicably stationed around a corner. If it had been an average person, maybe they would have been caught by surprise, but Zhang Yanhang, with his Perception ability, wasn’t affected by such a level of ambush.
Moreover, besides the poor ambush technique, the executioners themselves were not up to par. They had barely heard the sound of the water surging due to Zhang Yanhang’s advance when they directly ran out of their hiding spot.
Looking at the five zombies in front of him, all dressed in uniform red uniforms, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but think of Plants vs. Zombies, mainly due to the character, Football Zombie.
These five zombies wore red uniforms reminiscent of football jerseys, the kind that inflates one’s appearance due to protective padding inside the jersey to guard against impacts.
Apart from the football jerseys, these five Football Zombies also wore even more iconic helmets on their heads. If it were only the jerseys, perhaps Zhang Yanhang wouldn’t have immediately thought of Plants vs. Zombies, but the football helmets were just too distinctive.
But football helmets are clearly only meant for football and offer no bulletproof protection. Thus, under Zhang Yanhang’s burst fire, the five robust Football Zombies all fell into the murky water at the corner.
