"Although by that time, the beautiful girls surrounding him should be gritting their teeth and launching a suicidal attack on him, as the saying goes, ’Deep love breeds intense hatred.’ So, hating him like that naturally shows their way of loving him."
So, at this time, Zhang Yanhang would also respond with the principle ’hitting is intimacy, scolding is love’ and fiercely strike back with his burning love for them.
After all, a beautiful girl is a beautiful girl, and Soul points are Soul points. No matter how good-looking the monster’s shell is, it won’t make Zhang Yanhang stop his hunting behavior.
Just like the previous Lady Zombie, although it was indeed beautiful, even better-looking than a living person, with a special charm, it was still killed on the spot by Zhang Yanhang with a punch through the chest.
"Speaking of which, if I can find the Elf Forest I mentioned before, wouldn’t I be able to experience this feeling of being surrounded by beautiful girls?"
Even just briefly imagining that fresh and clean scene felt incredibly relieving for Zhang Yanhang—punching a big-chested elf with one punch, kicking a flat-chested trap with one kick, flesh and brains flying everywhere with every move, definitely more enjoyable than hunting zombies now.
"But the premise of being surrounded by beautiful girls is that I can find the Elf Forest. Although the giant tree to the north is really tall, it might not necessarily be the World Tree."
"Even if it is the World Tree, it doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll encounter elves. What if it’s the World Tree from Nordic Mythology? Then I might face Flame Giants and Frost Giants."
Zhang Yanhang wasn’t interested in high-level monsters like Flame Giants and Frost Giants; mainly, he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to defeat them. With his strength, even bullying weak elves could be tough, let alone dealing with Mythical Level monsters like Flame Giants and Frost Giants.
During the few seconds of waiting for the Treasure Box, Zhang Yanhang didn’t stop his Perception; he soon noticed more details on the Cheerleader Zombie.
For instance, he saw a familiar string of English letters on the Cheerleader Zombie’s underwear, the same school name abbreviation he had seen before on the Football Zombie and Student Zombies.
"Although I don’t know which school it is, the person in charge of the cheerleading squad is really a marketing genius, printing the school name on the underwear."
But even if the underwear is indeed where people focus most on cheerleaders, Zhang Yanhang felt that using this method to promote the school, even if effective, would only attract some LSPs.
After waiting a few more seconds, Zhang Yanhang picked up a White Treasure Box from the Cheerleader Zombie, whose skull had been opened, and then continued forward, still some distance from the end of the forked road.
After progressing a bit further along the forked road, Zhang Yanhang once again encountered a group of zombies in uniform, and this group was even larger than the previous Football Zombies and Cheerleader Zombies, totaling nine.
These nine zombies were all dressed in uniform black suits; although he didn’t find the familiar English letters immediately, Zhang Yanhang’s intuition told him that these nine zombies definitely came from the same school as the large number previously encountered.
Looking at these nine zombies in black suits, Zhang Yanhang momentarily couldn’t determine what they were. The characteristics of the previous Football Zombies and Cheerleader Zombies were too obvious, whereas these nine simply wore plain suits, leaving too many possibilities for their identities.
But finding out their specific identities was actually quite simple; seeing the kill prompt was sufficient, so Zhang Yanhang immediately raised his M4A1 rifle that he had just reloaded.
In the dim sewer, a dazzling burst of fire lit up, and a string of bullets precisely targeted the heads of these strange zombies, corresponding to the giant noise of the gunfire was the sound of zombie bodies hitting the sewer floor with thuds.

[Successfully killed a First Tier Zero Star Monster ’Chorus Zombie (Common)’ ×1, Soul points +1.]
"So, they were part of a chorus. No wonder they were wearing black suits..."
Zhang Yanhang stood at the end of the forked road, quietly waiting for the Treasure Box to appear. Although he had killed over twenty zombies along the way, he still hadn’t figured out where these school zombies had come from.
But after wiping out this group of Chorus Zombies, Zhang Yanhang finally saw that familiar string of English abbreviations on their collar, but just finding this was meaningless to him.
Although Zhang Yanhang had already reached the end of the forked road, he still hadn’t found any useful clues regarding why these school zombies appeared here. He perceived that the end of the forked road was a standard dead end, with no gaps for passage or any sort of channel.
"Ah, it’s truly perplexing, but I really want to know the truth, so, what should I do now? Naturally, it’s time to rely on the omnipotent Multiple Choice! Choices! What should I do next?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Zhang Yanhang cautiously chose a question that normally used less Energy, as he was about to fight with the Tracker and didn’t want to consume a lot of Energy at this moment, especially since, if not taking medicine, it would be too slow to recover through self-operating the Limitless Universe Skill, easily taking several hours.
[Should I explore the abandoned Transmission Channel?]
[Option One: Yes (From the relevant clues, you analyze that this dead end used to be an abandoned Transmission Channel, but, that’s all there is to it—you know nothing about spatial knowledge or Transmission Channels, and no matter how long you study, you’ll gain nothing.)]
[Option Two: No (Upon learning that this dead end was indeed an abandoned Transmission Channel, you immediately give up wasting time here because, knowing nothing about spatial knowledge, exploring the abandoned Transmission Channel is still premature and bound to yield nothing no matter how hard you try.)]
[Option Three: Drink water (Although you just entered the Ashen World, you forgot to drink water before going to bed last night, so you’re a bit thirsty now. After taking a sip of water, you immediately put thoughts of the abandoned Transmission Channel out of your mind and resume clearing the monsters in the Ashen World.)]
