Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

It was a swirling, gray mist, about two or three cubic meters in size, that appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the two survivors. The mist seemed to contain a corrosive poison, and the bodies of the two survivors rotted rapidly at a visible speed, emitting a nauseating stench.

"ah---!"

The two men let out piercing screams, seemingly suffering inhuman torment. Their bodies began to undergo uncontrollable mutations as they rotted. When the screams stopped, the two survivors had transformed into mist monsters!

A corrosive creature whose entire body is rotting.

This is a low-level mist monster, similar to a regular zombie. Its weakness is also its brain. If you are injured by it, you will be eroded by the mist, and your body will undergo unpredictable mutations, turning you into a mist monster.

The distortion process lasted only a few seconds, but that was enough for the survivors nearby to escape.

When ordinary people encounter a mist monster, the best thing to do is to run away quickly. Don't try to kill it, because killing it will not bring you any benefits, nor will it drop any equipment or rewards.

Moreover, mist monsters usually appear along with eerie mist, and by the time you kill a mist monster, you may already be enveloped by the spreading eerie mist.

Once shrouded in mist, it means certain death; one will mutate and become a mist monster.

Therefore, it is crucial to run to a safe area free of fog as quickly as possible before the fog spreads. Fortunately, the fog is not spreading too quickly, otherwise, humanity would have had no choice but to wait for death.

"roar---!"

Two Corruptors roared as they burst out of the mist and chased after the survivor who had run a short distance away.

The mist continued to churn and spread outwards at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the mist caused a slight spatial fluctuation as it spread.

This is a process of two worlds merging, but the people in this world haven't noticed it yet.

Almost as soon as the two survivors were shrouded in mist and their bodies began to mutate, Zhang Yanan's expression changed instantly. She turned and ran without hesitation, afraid that she would be too slow.

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered this situation.

Three days ago, a fog appeared out of nowhere in a temporary camp. Several survivors were enveloped in it and instantly transformed into terrifying Corruptors, who began to attack the others. Of the hundreds of survivors, only a few dozen on the outer perimeter managed to escape.

She was one of the survivors; she happened to be on the outskirts of the makeshift camp and, thanks to her quick escape, she survived.

In the apocalypse, you may not be able to beat others, but you must be able to outrun them! As long as you run fast, the monsters will not be able to catch you and will attack other survivors, giving you more time to escape.

Therefore, Zhang Yanan's first reaction was to run!

As for Qin Xu standing to the side?

We're not related, why should I care?

However, after running five or six meters, Zhang Yanan, whose conscience hadn't completely vanished, turned back and shouted, "Run! If you don't run, the monster will catch up and we're all dead!"

"Huh? Oh!" When Qin Xu came to his senses, he realized that Zhang Yanan had already run more than ten meters away, and the two ferocious and terrifying Corruptors had begun to chase the survivors around them.

"Holy crap! How can she run so fast? Is she a rabbit?"

Without even having time to examine the newly activated system, he took off chasing after Zhang Yanan, using every ounce of his strength. He even lost a slipper while running, but he still didn't dare to slow down.

After running wildly for more than twenty minutes, twisting and turning, she finally entered a grove of trees. Zhang Yanan then slowed down, jumped onto a large willow tree, and sat down to rest.

"Wait... how can you run so fast?" Five or six seconds later, Qin Xu caught up, reached out and leaned on the tree trunk, panting heavily, his mouth dry and his throat sore.

He had never run so fast in his life. His legs were trembling, he had lost both of his slippers, and there were more than a dozen small cuts on the soles of his feet.

I didn't feel any pain while I was running, but now that I've stopped, it hurts terribly. I can only sit cross-legged on a rock under a tree with the soles of my feet facing upwards and reach out to pick off some splinters.

"You're not slow either." Zhang Yanan really didn't expect that this mental patient could catch up with her even barefoot. Could it be that there are really talented people in mental hospitals?

She frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity rising in her eyes about the young man sitting under the tree, who was about her age. She wanted to know which mental hospital this "genius" had escaped from.

At this moment, she still stubbornly believed that Qin Xu was a mental patient who had escaped from a mental hospital.

She took out a half-empty bottle of mineral water from her backpack, took a few sips, hesitated slightly, and then threw down the remaining quarter of the bottle. "I'll drink the rest. If you don't like it, don't drink it."

Thanks.

With his mouth parched, Qin Xu had no reason to complain. He caught the bottled water that was thrown to him, unscrewed the cap, and drank it all in one gulp. After relieving his thirst, he had a slight thought and summoned the Doomsday Points System.

After carefully reviewing it, I discovered that it's a system where you kill monsters to earn points, and then exchange those points for various rewards. You can earn Doomsday Points by killing Mist Monsters, and there's also a chance to get various rewards.

This only applies to killing fog monsters; killing other creatures or killing other beings will not earn you any points.

Name: Qin Xu

The entire system consists of five sections: in addition to the information interface, there are also the task system, career system, points mall, and system warehouse.

The points shop and career interface are not yet unlocked; the task interface only has one beginner task.

[Newbie Quest: Monster, monster, don't run away, let me kill you!]

[Mission Requirements: Kill any three Mist Monsters]

[Task Difficulty: Easy]

[Task completion rate: 0/3]

[New Player Quest Rewards: New Player Lottery Ticket *1, Beginner Survival Supply Pack *1, Beginner Item Supply Pack *1]

[Note: After completing the beginner missions, you can gradually unlock the points shop and career interface.]

"The newbie quest is just to kill three mist monsters?" Qin Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "I'm not even wearing shoes right now, how am I supposed to kill them?"

As if he had thought of something, he quickly switched to the system warehouse interface. Sure enough, there was a newbie gift pack in the 10*10 inventory, and there was only one newbie gift pack.

Furthermore, the system warehouse can only be used to store various items rewarded by the system, items purchased from the points mall, and items dropped by monsters; items from the real world cannot be stored there.

"What good stuff will be there?" With anticipation, Qin Xu opened the only newbie gift pack.

Just then, Zhang Yanan, who was resting in the tree, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Hey, you down there, what's your name? Which mental hospital did you escape from? Have you recovered yet?"
