Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

This is a zombie cat with many rotting parts all over its body, exposing bloody white bones. Its protruding fangs drip with slime, and its pair of eerie green pupils reveal a fierce glint.

"Meow--!"

A piercing, chilling meow ripped through the night sky.

With a kick of its hind legs, the monster, over a meter long, shot forward like an arrow, brandishing its menacing claws as it lunged at Qin Xu, who was leaning against the roller shutter door.

A foul-smelling wind blew in.

"Go to hell!"

Qin Xu, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, roared loudly, his adrenaline surged instantly, and his hands instinctively gripped the shovel tightly. He then used all his strength to stab the wide-open, foul-smelling mouth!

That was swift, accurate, and ruthless!

*Pfft!*

The shovel head plunged into the zombie cat's mouth in an instant, leaving a trail of blood and causing it to let out a mournful howl as it flailed its limbs through the air.

"Meow—!"

A fierce glint appeared in Qin Xu's eyes. Without stopping, he used the force of the shovel to smash the zombie cat, whose mouth had been shoveled into, onto the ground.

Bang---!

"Meow—!"

The zombie cat's head was slammed hard into the ground, letting out a shrill scream as it struggled to free itself from the shovel head stuck in its mouth.

"Go to hell!"

Qin Xu's inherent ferocity was unleashed. He gripped the shovel tightly with both hands and shoveled at the zombie cat's head, the speed so fast that it was almost a blur.

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

The zombie cat, which had been struggling and whose head was now a bloody mess from being shoveled, slowly stopped struggling. Finally, its limbs twitched a few times and then it went still.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a low-level mist monster [Zombie Cat], Doomsday Points +3]

[Ding! Newbie quest completion +1]

"call--!"

Qin Xu exhaled a breath of stale air, only then realizing that his hands and his whole body were trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The exhaustion from surviving the ordeal intertwined with the intense thrill of killing the monster, transforming into a burning shiver that shot from my spine to the top of my head.

"Just one more monster to go, and the beginner quest will be complete." He took deep breaths, trying to calm his somewhat excited emotions.

After waiting a few seconds.

There were no loot items on the zombie cat's corpse, so it seems that loot isn't always a guaranteed drop.

Looks like I'll have to change clothes again.

Qin Xu glanced down at his trouser leg and noticed that it was splattered with blood and emitted a nauseating stench, which made him frown.

After leaning against the roller shutter for about ten seconds, I calmed down.

He gripped the shovel tightly and cautiously continued along the commercial street, intending to find another mist monster to kill in one go and complete the beginner quest.

.........

At this moment, Chen Jianguo and Zhang Haitao are looking for a place to spend the night in Nanqiao Town.

The two were a few hundred meters away from the commercial street where Qin Xu was located, separated by several streets. This area was a residential area of ​​Nanqiao Town.

Most of the houses in Nanqiao Town are single-story, except for this residential area which has six or seven apartment buildings.

"Brother Chen, there are probably still people in these buildings. Should we go in and check?" Zhang Haitao frowned and said, "I don't think it's worth getting into a conflict with these people. It's not worth it."

"Let's go explore other places." Chen Jianguo nodded. His mindset hadn't changed yet; he hadn't reached the point where he would do anything to survive.

The two had just stepped out of the residential compound when they heard a shrill, piercing meow coming from afar.

"That cat's meowing isn't right." Chen Jianguo frowned instantly and said in a deep voice, "This town isn't safe. Let's go back to the small square first."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and hurried toward the small square in the center of town.

"Did someone kill the cat? Or did the cat kill the cat?" Zhang Haitao muttered to himself, and hurriedly chased after them.

The two had walked a little over a hundred meters when they came to a crossroads and suddenly stopped, staring intently at a hunched, obese figure in the darkness ahead.

"retreat!"

Chen Jianguo whispered a reminder to Zhang Haitao, while gripping the large machete in his hand and slowly retreating behind him, keeping his footsteps as quiet as possible, his entire body tense.

"It seems...not human!"

Zhang Haitao's scalp tingled instantly. He gripped the machete tightly, retreating while staring intently at the large, fat figure in front of him.

His eyesight is quite good, so he can be 100% certain that it is not a living person!

After retreating more than ten meters, the two quickly turned around and ran into a side alley, intending to take a detour and quickly return to the small square.

Soon, the two arrived at the commercial street where Qin Xu had been. They hadn't gone far when they saw a zombie cat on the ground with its head smashed and mangled.

"This town isn't safe; it's not suitable for spending the night here," Chen Jianguo said with a furrowed brow, then quickly ran towards the end of the commercial street.

"Was it a monster that killed him? Or was it a living person?"

Zhang Haitao suppressed his nausea, glanced at the rotten cat face, muttered something to himself, and then quickened his pace to catch up with Chen Jianguo.

……

In the small square.

After getting some fresh air outside, the women all chose to go back into their cars, as if they could only feel safe in their cars.

Yang Xue wanted to invite Zhang Yanan to stay in the Mazda, but Zhang Yanan politely declined. She rode her tricycle between the three vehicles and sat in the cargo bed.

The remaining three men were Zhou Zhiqiang, a Chinese language teacher; Zhang Haiyang, a fitness coach; and Feng Wenlong, Zhou Zhiqiang's brother-in-law, an unemployed young man.

Zhou Zhiqiang leaned against the door of the Jinbei van, holding a machete in one hand and a cigarette between the other, constantly looking around to prevent any monsters from attacking.

Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong were both in their mid-twenties. They got along well and were quite bold, so they wandered around the small square.

There are several two-story commercial buildings around the small square, which are filled with clothing stores, snack shops, restaurants, and so on. There is also a Jiajiale supermarket located on the basement level.

The restaurants and snack shops were open, but they had already been completely emptied. However, the Jiajiale Supermarket on the basement level was closed.

After walking around for a while, Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong stopped in front of Jiajiale Supermarket.

"Wenlong, should we get our hands on this?" Zhang Haiyang took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked at Feng Wenlong beside him. "I reckon there should be quite a few supplies inside."

Over the past few days, the two men have been sneaking into places and breaking into locks to steal supplies, while the others have turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

In Feng Wenlong's words: "It's the end of the world now, what's wrong with me taking some things? If I don't take them, someone else will. It's called 'first come, first served'!"

"Damn it!" Feng Wenlong took a deep drag on his cigarette, then threw the butt on the ground, stomped it out, and pulled a pair of hydraulic shears from his backpack, starting to pry open the lock.

Zhang Haiyang gripped his machete tightly, surveying his surroundings as he acted as lookout.

If you look closely, you'll notice that both Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong have large tattoos, making them look like the kind of people who have been around in the underworld.

In less than a minute, Feng Wenlong had pried open the lock on the roller shutter door.

"Done." He turned around, excitedly raised his hand, and gave Zhang Haiyang an OK sign.

Then he pulled the roller shutter door up forcefully.

Splash!

Behind the roller shutter was a glass door, but it wasn't locked. Feng Wenlong reached out and gently pushed it open.

"Walk."

Excited, Feng Wenlong went in first, followed closely by Zhang Haiyang. Neither of them noticed that the glass door was unlocked.

With a machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other, the two slowly walked towards the basement, their minds filled with the wide variety of goods in the supermarket.

After arriving at the basement level, Zhang Haiyang walked directly into the supermarket through the passage next to the checkout counter, only to find that many of the goods on the supermarket shelves were missing, as if a lot of them had been taken away.

He raised his flashlight and scanned the surrounding shelves, finding that there were still quite a few supplies left, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"I think we can stay here tonight." As he spoke, Zhang Haiyang picked up a ham from the shelf, tore open the packaging with his teeth, and began to eat it in big bites.

"I think so too." Feng Wenlong nodded to Zhang Haiyang, reached out and picked up a ham from the shelf, tore open the packaging with his teeth, and took a bite.

Just then, a shocking change occurred!

Several beams of dazzling light suddenly shone over.

Three men emerged from behind the shelves, each holding a machete or steel pipe, their eyes coldly fixed on Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong, who were eating sausages.
