Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

Fear is a biological instinct.

Courage is the hymn of humanity!

To become stronger in the apocalypse, one must have the courage to face monsters. Qin Xu's cheat is to kill monsters and gain points, so he must kill monsters!

Since they are carbon-based life forms, and since the brain is still a fatal weakness, there's no need to be afraid. Just make sure you can swing your sword faster than the monster.

His nerves were on edge, his eyes fixed on the oncoming monster, and he gripped his long-handled cleaver tightly, delivering a horizontal slash.

*Pfft!*

Hand up, knife down!

The monster's head flew off.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a low-level monster [Corruptor], Doomsday Points +2]

[New player quest completion +1]

After instantly killing two Corruptors, Qin Xu's ferocity was fully unleashed, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The moment the headless monster's corpse fell, the other two Corruptors rushed into the gas station. One roared as it charged toward the service hall, while the other went straight for Qin Xu's back.

"Go to hell!"

As if sensing something, Qin Xu, with his fierce expression, quickly turned around, raised his sword with both hands, and charged towards the Corruptor who was trying to ambush him.

As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger." As long as you swing your sword fast enough and time it precisely enough, then low-level cannon fodder monsters like the Corruptors pose no threat whatsoever.

*Pfft!*

A cold glint flashed.

The Corruptor's rotting head flew into the sky in a parabolic arc, spinning continuously as it disappeared into the darkness outside the gas station.

In fact, the reason Qin Xu was able to cut off the Corruptor's head with a single strike was because the flesh and bones of such low-level monsters were already rotten and decayed.

"Triple kill!" Seeing the green light emerging from the corpse, Qin Xu's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Finally, some loot dropped."

The next second, a small cube emitting a green light condensed on the corpse, with a question mark flashing inside.

Before he could even squat down and reach out to touch it, the green cube disappeared.

next second.

A system message popped up in front of him.

[Ding! You have obtained a [Green Quality Loot (To be Opened)]]

Qin Xu didn't rush to open the loot, but quickly ran towards the last Corruptor, because Chen Jianguo got out of the car with a machete in his hand.

"Just who is this Qin Xu?" At this moment, Zhang Haitao was full of doubts. Who exactly was this young man who looked to be in his early twenties?

Why is it so powerful?

He can cut monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, so why is he working so hard?

Do you think this is about leveling up in a game?

Do you get rewards for killing monsters? Or do you gain experience points for killing monsters?

Or is it just a display of heroism?

For a moment, Zhang Haitao was puzzled and couldn't understand what Qin Xu's purpose was in doing this.

He never believed that selfless heroes existed in this world; in his view, "If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be doomed."

Hiding inside the Wrangler, Zhang Yanan looked at Qin Xu with a strange glint in her eyes, a series of doubts rising in her mind.

"What secrets is he hiding? What is his purpose in approaching me? Why is he wearing a hospital gown while fleeing for his life? Is he really an orphan?"

She frowned in thought, her gaze following Qin Xu's figure to the entrance of the service hall.

The last Corruptor roared and pounded on the glass door, startling the people hiding inside who screamed in terror.

"Ah—! Haiyang, the monster is here!" Yang Xue cried out in terror, clinging to Zhang Haiyang, "What do we do? What do we do? Waaah~"

Shen Jiayi was also frightened by the corrosive creatures outside the glass door, and retreated repeatedly, hiding behind the service desk and trembling.

Watching the glass door shake violently as the corroder pounded on it, Feng Wenlong, holding a machete in one hand and his girlfriend Ding Yao in the other, retreated repeatedly.

The two almost brushed past the wisp of translucent mist in mid-air, and the moment their bodies touched the spatial fluctuations, they disrupted the surrounding airflow.

The gray mist instantly twisted and drifted in the air, like a wisp of gauze, constantly changing shape with the airflow.

However, because the Corruptor was constantly pounding on the glass door, the group was too preoccupied with their panic to notice the constantly distorting spatial fluctuations.

And... that wisp of gray mist drifting with the air currents.

"Don't be afraid, Qin Xu and Chen Jianguo are here. We're saved." Zhang Haiyang hugged Yang Xue tightly and comforted her.

Seeing Qin Xu and Chen Jianguo running over, Feng Wenlong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fixed on the situation outside the glass door.

"Uncle Chen, your machete is too short, let me do it," Qin Xu shouted as he quickened his pace toward the glass door.

"roar---!"

Seemingly hearing the commotion behind him, the Corruptor that was banging on the glass door suddenly turned around and charged towards Qin Xu.

"Qin Xu, watch out!" Chen Jianguo, who was running from another direction, shouted a warning and raised his machete to come and help.

"Go to hell!"

Having unleashed his ferocity, Qin Xu dodged to the side while simultaneously swinging his swords with both hands, using all his strength to slash at the Corruptor's neck.

Puff-!

The Corruptor's head, which had just turned as it was running, was chopped off and flew off. After running a few steps, it fell to the ground with a thud.

"Uncle Chen, this knife is pretty good."

Qin Xu gave Chen Jianguo, who was walking over, a bright smile, then glanced down at the monster's corpse, only to find that no loot had been dropped.

"This is a knife I specially asked a comrade to forge from high-carbon steel," Chen Jianguo said with a hint of pride. "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"Great!" Qin Xu praised, but he didn't intend to return the knife. Instead, he said to Chen Jianguo, "Let me borrow it for now. Leave the rest of the monsters to me."

Chen Jianguo glanced at Qin Xu, then finally nodded, and cautioned, "Be careful, whatever you do, don't get hurt by the monster, or you'll die!"

"Don't worry, I value my life!" Qin Xu turned his head and glanced inside the glass door, or rather, at the spatial fluctuations and gray mist.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the wisp of mist seemed to have thickened a bit.

"Qin Xu, keep an eye on the surroundings," Chen Jianguo said in a deep voice. "I need to get the gas pump working quickly and then refuel the car."

"Hmm." Qin Xu nodded, glancing at the iron chain lock inside the glass, and began to ponder a question in his mind.

If that spatial distortion and fluctuation was caused by the merging of two worlds, does that mean the gray mist spread from another world?

He thought of the gray mist that had suddenly appeared in the wilderness. Did it appear instantly, or did it require a process of merging?

Is it possible that when two worlds merge to a certain extent, matter from the other world will cross the spatial barrier and come across the boundary?

"What on earth is going on?" Qin Xu turned around and looked at the shadow of the city that had suddenly appeared in the wilderness in the distance.

He raised his hand and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was already 4:30 a.m., and dawn would break in a little over an hour.

Feng Wenlong and his four companions inside the glass door did not intend to come out now, lest another monster rush out of the darkness later. They wanted to wait until the car was refueled and they were ready to leave before coming out.

Qin Xu didn't intend to remind these people; their life or death was up to fate.

If they can spot that wisp of gray mist, or manage to refuel their car and continue on their way, it means these people are destined to survive.

Then we'll think of other ways to kill Zhang Haiyang and Feng Wenlong.

After taking one last look inside, Qin Xu returned to the Wrangler, took a sip of water, and then went to the edge of the gas station to observe it.

He hoped more monsters would appear so he could complete the beginner quests and get the rewards as soon as possible.

Soon, it was five o'clock.

A faint white glow was beginning to appear on the eastern horizon; dawn was breaking.

Just then, Qin Xu's pupils contracted as he suddenly saw several blurry figures appear out of thin air on the highway not far away.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, so it was impossible to tell whether those were living people or monsters.

"Is it someone from another world? Or a monster?"

Qin Xu looked at the shadow of the city that had appeared out of nowhere in the wilderness, his brows furrowed, and a guess surfaced in his mind.

Could it be... that this gas station is also within the scope of the merging of the two worlds?

How broad is the scope of integration?

Is it formed from a single point? Or is it divided into countless regions of varying sizes?

Several tens of seconds later.

The city in the wilderness suddenly flickered a few times and disappeared into thin air, along with several figures wandering on the highway not far away.

Just then, Chen Jianguo and his two companions finally finished repairing the gas pump and started refueling the car. Seeing this, the people in the service hall also came to the door.

As luck would have it, Shen Jiayi happened to pass through that spatial fluctuation and collided with that wisp of drifting gray mist.
