It was a silent night.
After the artifact's notification sounded, the world underwent a drastic change.
After about five hours of waiting, the stagnant world suddenly resumed its normal operation.
This day was destined to be unforgettable.
As everything resumed its normal operation, screams rang out in every major city. The evolved bloodthirsty beasts and the creatures that were released into this world began their killing spree.
The ordinary people in this world were terrified and unable to cope with such a scene.
Even if they had the intention to resist, they had no chance of winning against the monsters that were physically stronger than them.
During this period, a large number of humans in this world died.
Calamity swept through the world. The humans who originally ruled the world instantly fell from the top of the food chain to the bottom, becoming the target of all predators.
Even the cows and sheep that were once their food now possessed the terrifying power to take their lives.
A new chapter of the world's era had begun.
All the rules would be reshuffled and redefined, and strength would be the only standard to measure the rules!
…
Five hours ago, City A.
Doomsday Bar.
Doomsday Bar was located in the eastern suburbs of the city and was famous for its unique style.
The main theme of this bar was to create an apocalyptic scene. A group of people who loved the apocalypse had always gathered inside.
Their ideals were incompatible with this peaceful world. They worshiped the apocalypse and felt that the world was too dull. Only the apocalypse was what they wanted.
It was almost midnight when a figure appeared outside the bar.
He was carrying an ancient blood-colored coffin on his back. He was wearing a hood and his clothes were engraved with all kinds of twisted runes. Everyone turned their heads to look at him.
After pushing open the bar door, Hu He walked straight in.
“Cosplay？ Brother, which character is this? It's very cool! "the bar's security guard greeted Hu He with a smile after seeing his appearance.
Hu He ignored his gaze and walked straight past him.
He was not here to drink, but for a mission.
His mission target this time was a guy who was at least in the Shattering Realm in his previous life. He had a special soul and was extremely strong. He was considered by the stupid officials to be one of the humans with the most potential in this world.
In order to prevent him from dying prematurely in the apocalypse, Lu Wu planned to give him some preferential treatment in advance. Hu He's purpose for coming here was to pave the way for this guy's growth.
He arrived at the bar counter and ordered a glass of wine. His gaze swept across the dance floor.
A group of strangely dressed people were having a ball. Under the strange orange light, their bodies were twisting and sweating. The scene was like a group of demons dancing, exuding waves of hormones.
He picked up the wine glass and gulped down the contents in one gulp. Then, he ordered another glass of wine and drank it quietly amidst the explosive music.
As time passed, the lights of the ball flickered and changed. Then, they gathered in the middle of the stage, where a man wearing a ghost mask and a man wearing a formal attire stood.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Halloween Apocalypse Gathering. Today, we are fortunate enough to invite many like-minded friends …"
Looking at the guy wearing a ghost mask on the stage, the corners of Hu He's mouth curled upwards. This was the one he was looking for.
This person was the owner of the Doomsday Bar in the city. In fact, his heart was extremely twisted. He had always longed for the arrival of the apocalypse, waiting for the day when humanity would end.
Hu He didn't care what this person thought. He only knew that this person was the target that the stupid officials wanted to protect for the time being.
Whether he lived or died in the future, he didn't care. However, he had to help this person get through the upcoming hurdle and prevent his potential from dying.
"Handsome, you look so cool! Where did you buy it? " As he was drinking, a charming woman came to Hu He's side. She reached out her hand and touched the blood coffin on Hu He's back. Then, she stood beside him and asked curiously.
"Is there really a vampire lying in there?" Seeing that Hu He ignored her, the woman was very interested and asked again.
This made Hu He frown subconsciously, "Get lost!"
Hearing this, the woman's smiling face suddenly stiffened. She looked very embarrassed.
"Little Mei, what's the matter?" At this moment, a woman wearing a demonic fox mask came to the side of the embarrassed woman.
"I … I'm fine."
"Did he bully you? Do you want him to apologize to you? "the woman wearing the demonic fox mask scolded her rudely.
Apologize?
Hearing this, Hu He suddenly laughed. He was just worried about not being able to find a target. Since he came knocking on his door, then he couldn't be blamed.
He immediately snapped his fingers at the bartender.
"Two glasses of fruit wine."
Taking two glasses of mixed fruit wine from the bartender, Hu He extended his hand and handed them to the two women.
"I was in a bad mood just now. Don't mind me, this glass is on you."
Hu He's words immediately eased the atmosphere. Although the two women were very surprised that Hu He, who was originally frowning, suddenly changed his attitude, they didn't continue to pester him. They took the wine and took a small sip, then once again looked at Hu He's strange appearance.
"Seriously, your appearance is really cool. I think you'll be chosen as the best dressed up in this competition," the woman who tried to hit on him said after taking another sip of wine.
"Yes, yes. Together with the patterns on your clothes, I give this appearance 95 points," the woman wearing the demonic fox mask also seemed very interested.
Hu He smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've been preparing for this gathering for a long time."
While they were chatting, Hu He kept observing the changes in the two women. This was because when he took the glasses, Hu He secretly injected zombie energy into the glasses.
Although it was only a wisp of zombie energy, the power was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
After drinking it, one's mind would gradually be eroded by the zombie energy. In the end, one's body would also be transformed by the zombie energy, turning into a zombie ghost with only bloodthirsty instincts. There was no possibility of resistance.
Because they were only mortals, mortals that couldn't be more ordinary!
After chatting for a while, Hu He ignored the hints of the woman who tried to hit on him. After the two women left, Hu He walked straight to the booth in the distance.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Hu He's sudden arrival, the hotel owner, Li Ming, who was discussing some matters with his assistant, asked.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
"What's the matter? Just say it, I'm busy!" Li Ming frowned subconsciously.
Hu He shook his head, then threw a piece of paper and turned to leave.
Li Ming picked up the paper in confusion and found a line of words written on it.
"This place will soon turn into a Shuraba. If you want to live, come out quickly. I'll wait for you outside the bar. I have the apocalypse that you want!"
Seeing this, Li Ming was speechless. Although he was a worshipper of the apocalypse, he was not a fool. In this peaceful era, the apocalypse would not come so easily.
Seeing this, the assistant also leaned over to take a look at the paper. When he saw the words left by Hu He, he could not help but laugh out loud.
"Boss, I think that kid has watched too many movies. He must be crazy. Don't mind him, let's continue to discuss the expansion of the bar."
Looking at Hu He's back, Li Ming nodded. Although he did not believe it, he did not know why, but there was a hint of anticipation in his heart.
At the same time, he felt that perhaps Hu He was also a weirdo like him, a crazy worshipper of the apocalypse.
And he seemed to be even crazier than himself … Unfortunately, he seemed to be a little neurotic.
At this moment, suddenly, a scream came from the stage, interrupting Li Ming's thoughts.
He immediately turned his head to look, only to see the two women who were twisting on the dance floor suddenly holding their heads in pain. A faint black fog emitted from their bodies, and their bodies rapidly expanded. Their muscles burst through their skin, but no blood flowed out.
The exposed muscles gradually turned black, and their heads became hideous and terrifying as they twisted. Soon, two ghouls that were more than two meters tall appeared in front of the crowd.
This scene shocked the surrounding people.
Screams suddenly rang out on the dance floor. At the same time, it also stimulated the two ghouls that had already lost consciousness and only had their bloodthirsty instincts left.
Relying on their bloodthirsty instincts, they immediately pounced on the crowd and bit.
Faced with this terrifying scene, the entire dance floor became a mess. The sounds of crying and cursing mixed together, creating chaos.
Many people who were closer to the monsters did not run far before the monsters fell to the ground. Under the flashing lights and music, blood splattered and broken limbs flew everywhere. It was a scene of Shuraba.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming was horrified. Thinking of the note from before, he stood up without hesitation and ran out of the bar before the monsters pounced on him.
Fortunately, Li Ming reacted in time. Soon, the entire passageway was congested, making it impossible to pass normally. The two bloodthirsty monsters at the back had already targeted the crowd and pounced on them.
The thick smell of blood spread in the underground bar. At this moment, Li Ming ran out of the bar, panting, and closed the door.
Outside the bar, Li Ming subconsciously looked up and saw Hu He, who was carrying the blood coffin on his back, standing on a big tree outside the bar with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Behind him, a bright moon was emitting a bright light, full of mystery.
Seeing this scene, and then thinking of the scene in the bar, Li Ming could not help but shiver. He scrambled to the bottom of the tree and said,
"I … I'm coming."
Hu He jumped down from the tree and landed steadily.
"Follow me."
Li Ming seemed a little timid, but he still followed Hu He. He looked back in the direction of the bar, his heart filled with fear and excitement.
The fear came from the two girls who suddenly turned into monsters, and the excitement came from the end of the world that Hu He mentioned.
Following Hu He to the hill outside the bar, Li Ming was panting heavily. It was obvious that he could not walk anymore.
"How did you know that there would be monsters in the bar, and what's going on with the two girls?"
"A few minutes ago, they were ordinary humans like you."
Li Ming was stunned, "But why did they suddenly turn into monsters?"
Hu He waved his hand and pointed to the entrance of the bar, "Watch, you'll know the answer soon."
Although Li Ming was confused, he did not have the courage to resist the mysterious Hu He. He just stood beside Hu He and looked at the entrance of the bar quietly.
Even standing on the hill outside the bar, Li Ming could still faintly hear the screams inside the bar. His body could not help but tremble.
About half an hour later, the bar suddenly became silent. Then, Li Ming was horrified to find that the door of the bar had been broken open, and more than ten horrifying monsters rushed out. Some of them had broken bodies, but they were still alive.
What made Li Ming even more incredulous was that one of these monsters was actually wearing his assistant's clothes.
"What … what the hell is going on!"
"Do you know about zombies? They're the things in your movies! "Hu He said calmly.
"You're saying that the two girls are zombies, and they infected the others?" Thinking about the end of the world that Hu He mentioned, Li Ming had a faint guess in his heart.
"You can interpret it that way!" Hu He replied calmly.
At this moment, the monsters that rushed out of the bar noticed Hu He and Li Ming standing on the hill. They suddenly roared and rushed towards them.
"Run … run!"
Li Ming was scared out of his wits. He was an Apocalypse Worshipper, but that did not mean he was not afraid of death.
Hu He reached out and grabbed Li Ming, who was trying to escape, and stood quietly in the same place. This scared Li Ming out of his wits. He wanted to break free, but Hu He's strength was not something he could resist.
When these monsters came close, Li Ming was so scared that he closed his eyes.
At this moment, Hu He moved. With a swing of his arm, he swung his fist and sent a monster flying. Then, he loosened his grip on Li Ming's hand and pounced forward like a fierce tiger.
These monsters that were infected by the zombie aura had not evolved any special abilities other than their strength and physique. They were not on the same level as Hu He. In just a moment, all of them had their limbs broken by him and were knocked to the ground.
However, Hu He did not kill them all, because they were still useful to him.
Hearing the silence around him, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that all the powerful monsters had been knocked to the ground, and Hu He, who was carrying a blood coffin on his back, stood in the middle of the monsters, he was so shocked that he could not speak.
"What … what's going on!"
"Come here!"
With regards to Hu He's words, Li Ming did not dare to disobey. He hurriedly ran over. Along the way, the monsters that had their limbs broken saw Li Ming approaching and immediately opened their bloody mouths and roared at him.
Trembling with fear, Li Ming came to Hu He's side. Looking at Hu He's indifferent expression, Li Ming did not know what Hu He wanted to do.
At this moment, Hu He suddenly placed his hand on Li Ming's shoulder. Immediately, the artifact that Hu He had set up was activated and began to help Li Ming complete the digitization of his body in advance.
In less than a minute, Hu He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Ming with a serious face.
"Go kill a monster!"
"What?"
Li Ming thought he had heard wrongly, but when he saw Hu He's unquestionable gaze, Li Ming was stunned.
"Don't you want the end of the world to come? Now that the end of the world is coming, I'm giving you a chance to protect yourself. Cherish it! "
Li Ming suddenly looked bitter, "I don't have any tools, how do I kill it?"
"Use your hands if you don't have any tools!"
Hearing this, Li Ming was dumbfounded, "Big brother, these monsters are contagious. Aren't you trying to kill me by letting me touch these monsters?"
"Don't worry, I'm here, these monsters won't be able to infect you."
"I … don't dare …"
Li Ming's cowardly look made Hu He frown. He wondered if the stupid official had found the wrong person. This guy did not look like someone with high potential for growth.
"Either the monster dies, or you die. Choose one, I'll give you one minute to think about it!"
Seeing the murderous intent in Hu He's eyes, Li Ming was scared out of his wits. Looking at the ugly monster on the ground, Li Ming trembled as he walked to the monster's side.
"10 … 9 … 8 …"
Hearing Hu He start the countdown, Li Ming's desire to live overcame his fear. He lifted his leg and kicked the monster's head.
Once … Twice … Three times …
It could be seen that Li Ming did not exercise much. After a few kicks, he started panting and felt a little weak. However, he still exerted all his strength and only stopped when the monster's head was smashed.
After making sure that the monster was no longer moving, Li Ming fell to the ground with a thud, looking exhausted.
It could be seen that Li Ming's physical fitness was very poor.
Hu He did not pay attention to Li Ming. His gaze was fixed on the monster that Li Ming had killed. After the monster was completely dead, an almost transparent blue mist appeared and quickly flowed into Li Ming's body.
Li Ming, who was still panting, suddenly trembled. He could clearly feel a warm current flowing into his body, and the fatigue on his body immediately dissipated.
At the same time, the data panel appeared in Li Ming's mind.
[Li Ming (Iron Level 1)]:
Character Details: Strength 8, Stamina 6, Endurance 5, Mental Power 9, Intelligence 12 …
Experience Points Required to Level Up: 11/180
Character Mastery: None
…
Looking at the dumbfounded Li Ming, Hu He nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
"Get up! Kill all these monsters. Killing them can strengthen you and even stimulate your potential, allowing you to obtain superpowers! "
Li Ming was skeptical of Hu He's words before, but after experiencing it for himself, he knew that it was true. Even though he was very confused, he still obediently stood up and pounced on the monsters whose limbs had been twisted.
After about half an hour, after killing more than ten monsters, Li Ming did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt that his whole body was full of energy. The way he looked at Hu He had changed.
At this time, Li Ming's level had risen to Iron Level 4, and his physical fitness had doubled.
Hu He's mission was also completed.
Looking at Li Ming, Hu He said calmly,
"My mission is completed. There are only two minutes left until midnight. Live well and don't let him down!"
After saying this, Hu He's silhouette suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming was so shocked that he was speechless.
Seeing these things in a short period of 40 minutes had completely overturned his original understanding of the world.
Regarding the mysterious Hu He, he felt a little excited, but also a little uneasy.
The restless blood in his body began to stir. Li Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to enjoy the feeling of fear in his heart.
Raising his hand to look at his watch, he realized that there were less than 30 seconds left until midnight.
While waiting, Li Ming's heart was filled with anticipation. He really wanted to know what would happen in the "midnight" that the mysterious man mentioned.
When the midnight bell rang from the direction of the city, Li Ming, who was still in excitement, suddenly realized that his body was out of control. At the same time, a voice exploded in his mind.
[From now on … this world will become my playground … Do you want to live? Then go and evolve … Becoming a powerhouse is your only way to survive. Killing, hiding, deceiving … All the means to survive will be legal after the transformation … Remember what I said … Mortals. Entertain me with your lowly performance!]
Lu Wu's voice rang through this world …
