In the darkness, Tang Yu slowly opened his eyes, and a burst of soreness came from his body.
He barely propped up his body, dust mixed with some fine stones scattered from his body.
"I'm … still alive?"
In his memory, the demonic beasts broke through the shelter's defense line like a tide. Countless survivors died in screams, and the world turned into a bloody red.
This was the doomsday! The doomsday came a month ago.
At that time, he was about to graduate. He had already found a job and was waiting to officially start working. But he didn't expect the disaster to suddenly happen.
Red mist filled the sky, and a huge crack appeared on the ground. Creatures named demonic beasts crawled out of the crack of the abyss and slaughtered humans.
This was the crack of the abyss, a symbol of the doomsday!
That day, Tang Yu happened to be in the school. He saw with his own eyes that the ground cracked open and swallowed an entire building. The surrounding teachers and students were completely scared. One by one, they were bitten into pieces by the demonic beasts. At that time, he was still far away from the crack of the abyss. He avoided the first wave of the demonic beasts' massacre. He was lucky enough to encounter a large group of fleeing survivors. After several twists and turns, he finally arrived here, a small shelter.
The number of demonic beasts was endless. The military's strength was no match for them. Humans retreated in defeat and could barely protect some important places.
And the shelter was the human's last line of defense.
This small shelter was built on the basis of a resort villa with thousands of survivors. It was the safest place in a dozen or twenty miles radius. Although it wasn't as safe as a large shelter guarded by the military, such a shelter had guns, ammunition, and human powerhouses. It was built in an area far away from the crack of the abyss. Occasionally, demonic beasts attacked the shelter, but they were quickly dealt with.
That was what he thought at first. When the demonic wave came and drowned the shelter, he suddenly realized that the shelter, in such a post-apocalyptic world, was also so … fragile.
Tang Yu looked around.
On both sides, the collapsed houses formed a chamfered corner. He wasn't buried, but escaped the disaster. He reached out and touched his palm. It wasn't his own blood, but the blood of an unlucky man who was pierced by an iron pipe. The blood flowed and dyed the ground red.
He wasn't the only one.
Through the crack, Tang Yu could see the corpses on the ground outside. Compared to the unlucky guy who was pierced by the iron pipe, the people outside died a more miserable death.
Tang Yu felt sad.
He was lucky enough to survive. However, it was useless. As an ordinary person without a weapon and not a hunter, even the weakest demonic beast was enough to kill him.
"It would be great if he was an Awakened …"
Those with good aptitude would naturally awaken as soon as they awakened. Those who were slightly worse might awaken under the pressure of adversity and become a hunter with the ability to protect themselves in the doomsday.
There were also some people with average qualifications who could not awaken on their own, but that was not a problem. The shelter had a special awakening device that could help survivors awaken. But Tang Yu was embarrassed. His aptitude was the worst. He didn't have the qualification to awaken.
There were many people like him. Once they encountered danger, it was almost equivalent to being sentenced to death.
"So, I can only wait for death?" Tang Yu muttered to himself. He was unwilling, but it seemed that he could only accept his fate.
Suddenly, he quivered.
"Ding dong! The Lord of Finality system has been activated. Please establish the Lord's castle and territory as soon as possible. "
What's that sound?!
He should've heard something just now. Was he discovered by a demonic beast? Or was he hallucinating?
"Ding dong! Please establish the Lord's castle as soon as possible … "
The voice came from his mind. This time, Tang Yu was sure that the mysterious voice did exist.
The voice was very mechanical, repeating itself over and over in his mind. He soon discovered that he could either block out the voice or ask it questions in his mind. Although the information he received was limited, at least he knew what it was.
System!
Tang Yu remembered the name of the Lord of Finality. It was a game he played to kill time before the doomsday. He was excited. He was no stranger to the system. He could even say he was familiar with it. He could easily pull out hundreds of novels with the system in his mind.
In an instant, he thought of the plot of these novels, philosophy, life, and finally this game.
The Lord of Finality was a third-rate strategy game set in the Western Fantasy doomsday. It was about the destruction of the world and the human race was about to perish. The player built the castle to keep the last torch for the human race. The player needed …
Tang Yu shook his head violently. At the moment of life and death, he still had the mood to think about the game's background!
"System, since it's the system, can you at least let me awaken?"
"No."
"Give me a few bodyguards or summon a group of subordinates?"
"No."
Tang Yu was speechless.
Then at least give me a solution to the current crisis!
"Ding … Ding dong. When establishing the Lord's castle, two puppet guards will be given as a gift to solve the Lord's current crisis."
"That's it. I'll build it immediately!"
"Ding dong! To establish the Lord's castle, the Lord needs to select a site and pay 100 units of spirit stones. It's detected that the Lord has no spirit stones on his body. Unable to establish the Lord's castle. "
"… …"
There was something he didn't know if he should say.
Other systems gave him a novice gift pack first. But this broken system didn't give him anything. Even the main base had to be built by himself without any resources. He had played strategy games for so many years, but he had never seen such a system before.
Now, where would he go to find a hundred units of spirit stones?
Spirit stones were extremely precious strategic materials. There was a small probability of condensing in the body of a demonic beast. It was said that there were naturally born spirit stone mines in the wild. But it wasn't easy to obtain. Only elite combatants or even hunters could possess it. Tang Yu was just a low-level survivor. He had never seen a spirit stone, let alone possessing it.
Under normal circumstances, he would never get it.
But now …
Tang Yu thought about it. There was indeed a glimmer of hope. The shelter had been breached. There should be some spirit stones left in the place where the hunters lived.
He didn't know if his guess was correct. He didn't know if there were 100 units of spirit stones left. But for this glimmer of hope, he must fight!
Taking a deep breath, he sorted out his thoughts. "The hunters and the shelter's higher-ups live in the hillside villa area, which belongs to the central area of the shelter. When I escaped before, I was thinking of escaping inwards. Now I'm close to the shelter's central area. It's not far from the villa area. This is an advantage, but the disadvantage … "
Tang Yu smiled bitterly. His body was very weak, and he didn't have any weapons on him. It was a terrible start. The only thing he could rely on was the system that couldn't play its role now.
Immediately, he patted his cheek, and his eyes became firm.
Fortunately, the buried place was not tightly packed with stones. Tang Yu looked around and observed the outside environment. Finally, he found a relatively large gap and drilled out from it.
In front of him was an open space. Originally, a large number of simple houses and tents were built. But now it was a mess. Many corpses were fragmented. Only a small part of them was left. The strong smell of blood filled the tip of his nose.
Demonic beast corpses were rarely seen. Tang Yu knew that the entire shelter was almost defenseless against the demonic wave.
Holding his breath, he groped his way forward. Almost every time he moved forward, he had to explore several times.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Sweat slipped from the tip of his nose and dripped on the ground, quickly evaporating. Tang Yu breathed carefully. Fortunately, the number of demonic beasts was less than he expected. Along the way, he only saw one or two demonic beasts from a distance, gnawing on something with their heads down.
Bypassing the ruins and hiding in the grass, Tang Yu tried his best to avoid the demonic beasts. Fortunately, the entire shelter had just experienced a massacre. The smell of blood on the ground covered his scent, making the demonic beasts lose their most advantageous tracking weapon.
Step by step, gradually, the villa area was within reach.
… …..
Approaching the villa area, the surrounding environment was even more messy. Destroyed houses could be seen everywhere.
The dark traces after the explosion, the craters left by bullets, and the broken walls all showed that this place had experienced a fierce battle.
Tang Yu saw a lot of corpses, human hunters and demonic beasts. They were mixed together like a Shura field.
He carefully stepped forward and crouched in front of the corpses.
The pungent smell lingered on the tip of his nose. His hands were already full of blood. But Tang Yu didn't care. He searched half crazily and half calmly.
A Type 54 pistol.
And two clips.
In addition to the dagger he found on the way, it was the only weapon he could find that was in good condition. He also knew that these weapons didn't have much effect on demonic beasts. But the cold touch of the gun still increased Tang Yu's sense of security.
