Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

Inside a Jeep Wrangler.

Exhausted, Zhang Yanan leaned back in her seat and fell asleep. As she slept, her head tilted onto Qin Xu's shoulder, her eyes closed, and her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were dreaming.

One hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, while the other hand remained on the dagger at his lower back.

She seemed to have an extreme lack of security, and slept very restlessly, in a state of half-sleep and half-awake, dreaming.

"Run...survive...get away." Her body trembled slightly as she murmured a few words in her sleep, before her breathing gradually calmed down.

She subconsciously reached out her left hand and grabbed Qin Xu's right hand, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

Qin Xu, who was deep in thought, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yanan, whose eyes were closed, before glancing at the rearview mirror outside the driver's side window.

Through the rearview mirror, he vaguely saw Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong huddled together, smoking and muttering something, while constantly looking around.

"Looks like they've got their eyes on me." Qin Xu's lips curled up slightly as he muttered to himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

More than twenty minutes later.

Chen Jianguo and his companion returned from the village, bringing back a first-aid kit, some food, and drinking water.

He first had the three cars parked together in a triangle, then said to everyone, "We couldn't find suitable houses in the village, so let's all make do in the cars tonight."

He then handed the first-aid kit to Zhou Zhiqiang's wife, saying, "You guys stitch up your wounds yourselves." He then gave the food and water he had brought back to everyone.

There were fifteen people in total. Each person received a bottle of mineral water, a Wangzhongwang ham, a pack of scallion-flavored biscuits, and a fist-sized loaf of bread.

After distributing the food, Chen Jianguo looked at everyone present and made arrangements: "The women and children should rest, Zhou Zhiqiang is injured, so he should also rest. The remaining five men will take turns keeping watch at night."

"No problem." Everyone nodded.

Chen Jianguo arranged: "Zhang Haitao will guard from 11:00 to 1:00, Feng Wenlong from 12:00 to 2:00, Zhang Haiyang from 1:00 to 3:00, Qin Xu from 2:00 to 4:00, and I will guard from 3:00 to 5:30. We must ensure that there are two people on duty for each shift to prevent one person from falling asleep."

"Everyone get up at 5:30, and we'll leave promptly at 6:00. Does anyone have any questions?" he asked, looking at everyone.

"No problem." Everyone nodded again.

This arrangement may seem a bit unreasonable, but it ensures that at least two people are on watch at the same time during the four hours from midnight to 4 a.m.

Zhang Haitao should be fine guarding from 11 PM to 12 AM by himself, and Chen Jianguo is also reliable guarding from 4 PM to 5:30 PM by himself.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jianguo added to everyone: "If you are really sleepy in the middle of the night, the two of you can take turns to doze off for a while, but you absolutely cannot sleep at the same time!"

This concerns our lives and safety; we can't be careless! If there's any problem, wake me up immediately. Don't act on your own!

The reason for adding this sentence is so that if the person on night watch can't keep their eyes open anymore, they can say hello to the other person and take a short nap.

To prevent the night watchman from being so sleepy that he can't keep his eyes open, yet still having to force himself to stay awake, entering a semi-conscious state, which could bring a fatal crisis to the entire team!

"Understood." Everyone nodded, understanding Chen Jianguo's good intentions.

"Alright, everyone can rest now. If you need to use the restroom, go together." After saying that, Chen Jianguo returned to his car.

After closing the car door.

He turned his head with a solemn expression and said to Qin Xu in a deep voice, "Qin Xu, I hope you will not betray my unconditional trust in you."

"Uncle Chen," Qin Xu said solemnly, "I'm not an ungrateful person. I know who treats me well and who doesn't."

"As long as you know what's going on," Chen Jianguo said after thinking for a moment, "You can sleep soundly in the car. With me here, they won't dare to have any bad ideas."

"Understood." Qin Xu nodded.

"Hmm." Chen Jianguo stopped talking and quickly ate his food, his eyes constantly scanning the outside of the car window, very alert.

Qin Xu and Zhang Yanan, who had just woken up, also started eating to replenish their energy.

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Yanan suddenly turned to Qin Xu and whispered, "I need to go to the restroom, could you come with me?"

"Let's go." Qin Xu nodded and accompanied Zhang Yanan to the restroom.

After returning, the two rested together. Not only did Zhang Yanan keep her hand on the dagger while sleeping, but Qin Xu did the same.

He had just exchanged the alloy dagger he had obtained earlier in the darkness and hung it on his lower back in a convenient position for easy drawing.

Being in an unfamiliar environment, Qin Xu couldn't sleep soundly.

He dreamt of the world before he traveled back in time, where he received an 80 million yuan bonus, bought luxury cars, lived in a mansion, married a beautiful wife, and reached the pinnacle of life.

Just when life was happy and fulfilling.

The next second, the dream changed to being chased by a terrifying monster, running and running until they reached a primeval forest.

After a while, I dreamed that I had arrived in a bustling, unfamiliar city.

In short, I kept having all sorts of weird dreams and slept in a sweat.

I woke up several times during that time, stared blankly at the darkness outside the window for a while, and then fell asleep again, entering a semi-conscious state.

Zhang Yanan also slept restlessly, instinctively hugging Qin Xu's arm tightly, and finally curling up in the seat, resting her head on Qin Xu's lap.

.........

The person responsible for keeping watch at night actually sits in their car and opens the door to drive around every fifteen minutes.

Check your surroundings for fog, monsters, or living people.

Time quickly passed to past one in the morning.

Feng Wenlong and Zhang Haiyang were on night watch at the same time. They looked at each other, then got out of the car and walked a short distance away to smoke and whisper to each other.

After a while.

Zhang Haiyang silently approached the window of the Wrangler, staring at Qin Xu, who was sleeping inside, with a gloomy expression and a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Qin Xu, who was half asleep in the car, seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up, opening his eyes slightly to glance out the window.

Once he realized there was a figure watching him from outside, he continued to pretend to be asleep without making a sound, subconsciously tightening his grip on the dagger at his waist.

Who is it that you're thinking about?

Zhang Yanan, who was resting her head on his lap, seemed to wake up in an instant. She opened one eye and glanced out the car window before quickly closing it again.

She instinctively gripped the dagger at her waist and gently patted Qin Xu's thigh with her left hand, which was placed beside her head, to reassure him.

Qin Xu extended his left hand and placed it on the back of Zhang Yanan's left hand, gently tapping it twice.

The car was pitch black, and Zhang Haiyang, standing outside the window, could only see blurry shadows and couldn't make out Qin Xu and Zhang Yanan's subtle movements at all.

He stood there for four or five minutes before turning around and leaving, returning to his car. Just as he got in, he heard Zhang Haitao say something softly.

"Xiao Yang, don't mess with Qin Xu. I always feel that he's not as simple as he seems. He looks young, but he's very cunning and definitely not a simple-minded person."

"I understand." Zhang Haiyang nodded with a complicated expression, without saying anything more.
