Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

"I understand the reasons you're giving me."

Qin Xu took a deep breath and spoke his mind, "I just want to adapt to and understand this cruel apocalypse as soon as possible."

He glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the car window and said solemnly, "This apocalypse is worse than we imagined."

"I suspect that an alternate world is invading our world, and that strange, randomly appearing fog might be a deadly virus released by that alternate world."

Qin Xu subconsciously clenched his fist, turned to look at Zhang Yanan, and said in a deep voice, "As the two worlds continue to merge, it will only become more and more dangerous. We have no choice but to adapt to the apocalypse as soon as possible."

He straightened his back and asked earnestly, "There are fewer monsters now, so we still have a chance to escape. But what if we're surrounded by monsters one day?"

The people inside the car were speechless when asked the question, unsure how to answer.

"In this apocalypse, where can you escape to by just running away?" Qin Xu clenched his fist and looked at everyone, saying, "It's not that you have to fight monsters to the death, but you need to have the courage to face them, right?"

"What do you do when you're trapped in a room by monsters while searching for supplies, with no way to retreat? Do you stick your neck out and let the monster bite you?"

If you don't have the courage to face monsters, and you panic when you encounter them, do you have any other choice but to wait to die?

Do you have the courage to take up arms and fight back? Do you know what the monster's fatal weakness is? Can you still control your trembling hands and feet?

Or are you hoping that a hero will descend from the sky and save you in the apocalypse?

This is not a fairy tale! This is not an idol drama!

No one will fall from the sky to save you in a life-or-death crisis!

"A person can only rely on themselves!" Qin Xu's series of questions plunged everyone into silence, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Everyone pondered what would happen if Qin Xu's situation actually occurred.

Am I capable of saving myself?

You'll most likely be so terrified by the monster that you'll lose your composure and scream in terror.

Can screaming in terror kill a monster?

the answer is negative!

The louder you scream, the more excited the monsters will become, attracting even more monsters to swarm you and devour you until not even bones are left.

If you can quickly adapt to the monster's ferocious and terrifying appearance and learn to kill it with weapons, then you can kill the monster when you encounter danger!

"You're right." Chen Jianguo instantly understood what Qin Xu meant and said, "We must adapt to the apocalypse as soon as possible and learn how to kill monsters."

"Actually, the monsters aren't as scary as you think," Qin Xu said to everyone. "I suspect there's a deadly virus in the mist, which is why people who come into contact with it turn into monsters and lose their self-awareness."

"This monster is similar to a zombie in a movie. Its brain is its fatal weakness. It will die if its head is cut off or its brain tissue is destroyed."

He didn't know if there were any biohazard or zombie movies in this world, but there were likely similar movies, so the analogy shouldn't be hard to understand.

"Oh." Everyone nodded. Although this world doesn't have a Resident Evil, it does have similar zombie movies, and the core logic is pretty much the same.

"Once a living person is infected by the mist and turns into a monster with a rotting body, their flesh and bones become extremely fragile, which is why I was able to cut off the monster's head with one strike."

After explaining his observations, Qin Xu unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

Sitting to the side, Zhang Yanan, who seemed lost in thought, asked, "So, when you encounter a monster, you can kill it by cutting off its head or destroying its brain, right?"

She thought of the monster she and Qin Xu killed in Yangjiazhuang the night before; it seemed they killed it by stabbing it in the eye with a fork.

"That's right." Qin Xu nodded and said, "This kind of monster has no independent thought, only a bloodthirsty instinct. As long as you're not afraid, you can kill it if you find the right opportunity."

"But if you can run, you should," he added. "After all, if you get hurt by a monster, you'll turn into one too, so there's no need to put yourself in danger."

"What I mean is that you need to have the courage to face monsters head-on. Don't be so scared that your hands and feet go weak. At least when you encounter a monster, if you can't beat it, you should at least be able to run away."

"Only by constantly adapting to and understanding the end times can one survive longer in the end times."

Qin Xu looked through the car window at the city that had appeared out of nowhere in the wilderness, then slowly closed his eyes and opened the green trophy he had obtained earlier.

[Ding! You have unlocked a green-quality loot item and obtained the [Hundred Battles Blade • Mo Dao]]

[Hundred Battles Blade • Mo Dao]

[Equipment Level: Beginner (Green)]

[A long-handled sword used by a veteran of countless battles, it seems to have acquired some special attributes after experiencing countless life-and-death battles.]

[With this long sword in hand, I am filled with boundless heroism; though there be thousands, I will go forth! I am fearless! I will slay them all!]

[Total length: 2.3 meters]

[Blade length: 1.3 meters]

[Blade width: 5-10 cm]

[Handle length: 1 meter]

[Weight: 4.5 kg]

[Additional Characteristic: Durable (It is harder than ordinary weapons and less prone to damage)]

[Additional trait: Sharp (It is sharper than ordinary weapons, capable of cutting hair in two)]

[Additional Trait: Killing Intent (As a battle-hardened blade, it exudes killing intent and possesses the ability to subdue all evil creatures)]

"I actually obtained a low-level weapon, and it even has three additional characteristics." Qin Xu's lips curled up slightly, his face remaining calm, but his heart was filled with excitement.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a weapon with additional attributes. Do you wish to bind it to your system space?]

[After binding, you can freely put or take out system space]

Please note that the current permissions allow a maximum of three weapons or equipment to be bound.

"Huh? After binding, I can access the data freely?"

It should be noted that his system space currently only allows him to store system rewards, and once they are taken out, they cannot be put back in.

Unexpectedly, weapons with additional properties can be freely stored and retrieved after being bound.

"Bind." Without thinking, Qin Xu replied in his mind.

[Ding! The Hundred Battles Blade • Mo Dao has been successfully bound to the system space!]

The next second, Qin Xu saw a black longsword appear in the system space's inventory, with some brown bloodstains on the blade.

Just as Qin Xu was feeling excited, he suddenly felt something being stuffed into his hand. He opened his eyes in confusion and found that it was a piece of chocolate and a bag of cream-filled cookies.

Seeing him open his eyes, Zhang Yanan, who was sitting next to him, said softly, "I don't have much food left in my bag, so eat sparingly. You're welcome."

"I won't let you go hungry." Qin Xu looked at her solemnly, then asked Chen Jianguo, who was driving.

"Uncle Chen, where are you planning to go?"

It was already past 5:30, and the sky was beginning to brighten.
