[Countdown to the End of the World: 12 hours exact.]
In the middle of the day, Lin Chuan, who was focused on reading a novel, suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his head.
"Who, who's talking!"
Lin Chuan was startled, looking around with confusion and fear.
He lived alone, and there was no one in the room!
[Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the system.]
[The system will be activated after the apocalypse.]
[Please prepare well, Host, and survive resiliently in the post-apocalyptic world.]
Apocalypse? System?
Listening to the continuous voice in his head, Lin Chuan felt incredible.
The plot that only existed in novels had actually happened.
He quickly calmed down.
There were only twelve hours left before the end of the world.
Time was limited, and he had to act quickly.
After understanding the situation, Lin Chuan quickly grabbed his phone.
He went out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the shopping mall.
In the post-apocalyptic world, besides unexpected crises, food was an essential resource for survival.
Therefore, stockpiling food was absolutely necessary.
Oom-
Sitting in the car, Lin Chuan was thinking about what he should buy when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
Lin Chuan took it out and saw that it was from his company supervisor.
"Hello."
Lin Chuan pressed the answer button.
"Lin Chuan, the client needs an urgent copywriting assignment that you need to handle."
"I've already sent you the copywriting to your email. Please hurry up and finish it by 6 pm tonight."
A commanding female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I don't have time, find someone else."
Lin Chuan replied coldly and hung up the phone.
If it weren't for the appearance of the system and the impending apocalypse, Lin Chuan would not dare to refuse his supervisor's request and would ingratiate himself with kind words.
But there were only twelve hours left before the end of the world.
He didn't want to waste time on work.
Before going to the mall, he needed to figure out what supplies he needed to buy.
But not long after hanging up the phone, his supervisor called again.
Lin Chuan glanced at it, hung up directly, and added the number to his blacklist.
After a while, the driver dropped him off at the entrance of the mall.
Lin Chuan paid the fare, got out of the car, and rushed straight into the mall.
He walked into an arts and crafts store.
The owner saw Lin Chuan dressed in a suit and tie, obviously a wealthy customer, and quickly hurried over to greet him: "Sir, what can I help you with?"
"I need a weapon, sharpened!"
Lin Chuan didn't know much about the quality of arts and crafts, so he scanned the various weapons in the store and said directly.
"Sharpened?!"
The owner was very surprised by Lin Chuan's request for sharpening.
Even if it was an inferior craft, its sharpness after sharpening could not be underestimated.
"Yes, sharpened, the sharper the better."
Lin Chuan affirmed.
"Sir, this..."
The owner showed a look of embarrassment.
"As long as you're willing to sharpen it for me, I'll pay you an extra thousand as a bonus."
Lin Chuan saw through the owner's intentions and said bluntly.
With the system's prompt, Lin Chuan only knew that the apocalypse was about to erupt.
But what would happen after it erupted, he didn't know.
In the apocalypse, having a weapon by his side would give him a lot of reassurance.
And before the apocalypse erupted, he would never be stingy about anything that could be solved with money.
"No problem!"
The owner swallowed and agreed immediately.
Deciding not to be petty with money.
"Alright, I'll pay the deposit first and come back later to pick it up and pay the extra money!"
After scanning a thousand to the owner, Lin Chuan immediately left to buy other things.
There were still many other things he needed to buy, and he didn't have time to waste here.
After leaving the arts and crafts store, Lin Chuan embarked on a crazy shopping spree in the mall according to the list of items in his mind.
Common cold medicine, hemostatic painkillers, compressed biscuits that can be stored for a long time, beef jerky...
Anything that Lin Chuan could think of and thought would be useful in the apocalypse, he bought it all.
Due to the large amount of supplies purchased, Lin Chuan couldn't carry them all by himself.
So he negotiated with the shopping assistant in the mall.
In the end, he gave the shopping assistant five hundred to help him deliver the items to his home.
By the time he finished everything, it was already evening.
Lin Chuan went to the arts and crafts store, scanned the remaining money to the owner.
Then, with the owner's surprised gaze, he took the wrapped long knife and strode away.
Taking a taxi back home, he saw that all the purchased supplies were neatly stacked at the door.
Lin Chuan took out his keys, opened the door, and moved all the purchased supplies inside the house.
Gurgle -
After a busy day, I forgot to eat and my stomach is now protesting.
Lin Chuan took out his phone to order takeout, but saw that the outbreak of the apocalypse was only a few minutes away.
He decisively gave up the idea of ordering takeout and closed all the windows in the room, locking them securely.
He ensured that the room would be absolutely safe after the apocalypse broke out.
Just as he finished all this, the system's cold voice sounded.
[Apocalypse outbreak, system activating...]
[System activation complete, binding in progress...]
[Binding successful, checking host's genes...]
[Check complete, zombie mother system activated!]
Zombie mother system?
Upon hearing the system he had obtained, Lin Chuan was somewhat confused.
[Yes, the host is now the only zombie in the world.]
[Please start the apocalypse as soon as possible and strive to survive.]
The system seemed to be able to hear what Lin Chuan was thinking and responded accordingly.
A blue interface appeared in Lin Chuan's mind.
The interface only had one option, displaying the host's information.
Lin Chuan gently touched it with his will, and a blue light interface appeared before him, which only he could see.
Host: Lin Chuan.
Species: Zombie mother.
Level: Ordinary zombie mother.
Evolution value: 0/10.
Talents: Bloody evolution, virus infection.
Bloody evolution: Gain 1 point of evolution value by consuming each live body.
Virus infection: The zombie virus in your body has a strong infective power. Any human bitten by you will become your kin and be controlled by you. You will also gain 1 point of evolution value.
Abilities: None.
After reading his attribute panel, Lin Chuan couldn't remain calm.
He had already prepared for survival in the apocalypse, but he didn't expect that he would be the source of this apocalypse.
And he also sensed vaguely that his body, just now, seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
His hearing, vision, and sense of smell had all become more acute.
His physical strength had also increased several times.
Lin Chuan forced himself to calm down and walked into the bathroom.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he wasn't too surprised.
His eyes were scarlet, his skin pale, and his face ghastly.
His mouth was slightly open, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
His fingernails were also much longer than ordinary people's, looking very sharp.
Lin Chuan grabbed the wall.
The fingernails were not damaged, but left a half-inch deep scratch on the wall.
These fingernails were not only sharp but also exceptionally hard.
They could easily take a human life.
Lin Chuan felt his powerful body, filled with excitement and thrill.
However, he didn't swell up, but was even more calm and composed than before.
He was very clear.
Although becoming a zombie mother had improved his physical fitness in various aspects, he was still made of flesh and blood.
He was not invincible or immortal.
Once his identity was exposed, facing the siege of humans, he would only have one way out: death.
The heat weapons controlled by humans were not a joke.
Therefore, if he wanted to start the apocalypse and survive,
he must avoid human sight and proceed carefully.
First, complete the first evolution and enhance his strength.
At the same time, form a zombie squad.
Let them provide cover for him to ensure his safety.
Knock, knock, knock -
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room...
