Damn, Apocalypse?!

"Damn, the world is ending."

Born was lying in bed playing a game when he suddenly saw his teammate send out that message.

He twitched his mouth and quickly tapped on the keyboard.

"Yep, totally screwed."

"Jungler wandering around, support sleepwalking, marksman soaking in the fountain, and you're carrying six pairs of shoes. Are you riding a horse using shoes?"

With the sound of failure, a blood-red screen appeared in the game interface.

Born casually threw his phone aside, grabbed his hair with both hands, looking quite frustrated.

"Keep it down upstairs! What's with changing girlfriends every day?"

But the noise from upstairs didn't decrease; instead, it turned into heart-wrenching screams.

At the same time, car horns, screeching brakes, and even the loud crash of collisions kept sounding from outside the window.

Born grew increasingly puzzled.

He recalled the message from his teammate, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.

He couldn't help but poke his head out the window.

Born had just graduated from college and had been slacking off in his rental for three months.

To save money, he rented a street-facing apartment on a low floor.

Looking out, the situation on the street was fully visible.

"Damn, that guy's impressive, harassing a young girl in broad daylight. No, he's going to kiss her!"

"Stop, that should be me!"

Just as Born finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

The beauty was convulsing all over, and the next moment, the man lifted his head, biting off a large chunk of her tender neck flesh.

Blood spurted out!

The bright red color shocked Born's nerves!

What's going on, killing in broad daylight?

No, this wasn't an isolated incident.

An office worker wearing glasses was being chased by a dozen burly men and was then knocked to the ground.

In just one or two minutes, the burly men stood up, leaving behind broken white bones on the ground!

Bones!

Born's stomach churned.

He had read plenty of apocalypse novels, and these crazed people outside were undoubtedly mutated zombies.

He had even fantasized during his naive younger years about how he would handle the apocalypse if it came.

But now!

The despairing screams, the ground littered with rotting flesh and bones!

Blood flowed along the ground, leaving long, red streaks.

All of this still made Born tremble uncontrollably.

Bang!

His room door suddenly was hit—not just knocked, but violently struck.

Bang, bang, bang!

The continuous pounding merged into one!

Born, like a startled bird, cautiously walked towards the door.

His door was indeed peculiar, with no peephole, but there was a small door at the bottom, seemingly for cats and dogs to pass through.

To see what was happening outside, Born had no choice but to lie on the ground and open the small door.

His heart began to pound, and he even held his breath.

Outside was a pair of feet—nothing wrong with that.

But the pants were covered in blood, and there were three dark red bite marks visible on the legs.

This was a big problem!

Born immediately covered his mouth and retreated, but in doing so, he accidentally knocked over a broom behind the door.

He sensed danger.

The small door was still open!

He hurried forward to close it, but it was too late. The zombie suddenly crawled on the ground, ramming its head through.

A bloody head suddenly appeared in Born's sight; to be precise, the head wasn't intact.

The lower jaw was missing, leaving only a row of blood-stained teeth, and one eye was gone.

"Damn, damn!"

Born cursed as he retreated.

His adrenaline surged, and he even jumped straight up from the ground.

After a brief panic, Born was stunned.

Huh?

The zombie's head had come through, but its body was completely stuck outside.

And there was no need to worry about the zombie biting, given that it only had a single row of teeth.

He slowly clenched his fist.

This zombie!

It was delivering itself to him!

Born stared quietly at the zombie, and the zombie seemed to smell the scent of a living human, glaring at Born with its single eye.

Zombie: "What are you looking at?"

Born: "Looking at you, so what?"

After a while, Born mentally prepared himself.

The street was chaotic, and his teammates had mentioned that the world was in chaos while they were playing the game.

Those teammates were from all over the place, rarely from the same city.

This was enough to prove that this wasn't a localized outbreak.

Even if it was, so what?

Just leaving this zombie here, ignoring it, and staying at home waiting for rescue?

Born took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

He picked up the broom from the floor, broke the stick, and pointed the sharp end at the zombie.

"Die!"

Born shouted, also to cheer himself up.

The wooden stick pierced the zombie's eye socket and into its brain.

But the zombie kept struggling, and Born had to keep pushing, pushing hard!

He didn't know how long it took, but eventually, both Born and the zombie collapsed.

"Finally, it's dead."

Born panted heavily, the sudden surge of adrenaline making him feel utterly exhausted.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the zombie and earning 1 point. The Strongest Harem Army system is activated!

Activation successful, points have been credited. Please check your account. System functions have been transmitted to the host's mind. Please review them!

Born nearly jumped up from the floor again.

He looked around and confirmed that he was alone in his tiny apartment.

A system?

Damn!

Suddenly, he felt like something had been added to his mind.

He closed his eyes to digest it, and after a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

The Strongest Harem Army system, as the name suggests, allows him to earn points by killing zombies. These points can be used to recruit soldiers for himself. When the number of soldiers reaches a certain amount, they form a legion.

There are two ways to acquire soldiers: spend points to recruit them or draw fragments from the shop to synthesize them. 

The soldiers recruited directly vary in quality, while the synthesized ones are exceptionally strong, both in appearance and ability.

The most important part is that the legion members default to being female; he couldn't recruit any males.

Well, that's a system limitation, understandable for those who get it.

What a pity, from now on Born can only lead countless beauties to battle the apocalypse.

Thinking about this, Born couldn't help but let tears of joy slip from the corner of his mouth.

To verify the authenticity of the system, Born aimed his hand at the zombie stuck in the door.

"Recruit!"

Ding! Insufficient points, recruitment failed!

System activated for the first time, please open the newbie gift pack!

Damn, why didn't it mention the newbie gift pack earlier?

Born immediately thought, "Open the newbie gift pack."

The next moment!

A large gift pack suddenly appeared in Born's sight, with a line of text floating above it.

Activation reward: Newbie gift pack, open to witness the legend!

Then, the gift pack automatically unwrapped.

A burst of golden light suddenly stung Born's eyes!

"Damn, it's golden!"
