Chapter 22: Men and Women Working Together, Work Never Feels Tiring
The alarm buzzed at precisely 7:00 AM.
Zhang Yue sprang out of bed, quickly washed up, and headed downstairs to buy two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk. After receiving the 400,000 yuan from Su Jinya, he had transferred 390,000 yuan to the hospital. The remaining amount went toward covering his overdue three-month rent of 1,800 yuan and paying off his utility bills, leaving him with about 8,000 yuan. That should be enough to last until his next paycheck.
After finishing his breakfast, Zhang Yue opened the rift to the alternate dimension and stepped into the otherworld.

[Ding! Welcome to the Second World: Zombie City.]
After restocking his supplies in Notting City, he set out alone toward the west side of the city, where the garrison was stationed.
Yesterday, he had spent the entire day killing Flame Zombies to collect the 100 fire-element corpse cores needed for his quest.
Today, his target was the Ice Zombies, to gather ice-element corpse cores.
Passing through the territory of Level 11-13 Flame Zombies, he now faced the Ice Zombies, which were at Level 14-16.
In stark contrast to the Flame Zombies, the Ice Zombies possessed the [Ice Shield], capable of blocking 50% of ice-based attacks.
This actually gave Zhang Yue a slight advantage, as two of his three skills were fire-based, and only one was ice-based.
