Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

How fast can an average person think and react?

Qin Xu's answer was 0.1 seconds!

When the two-meter-long, scarlet licker with peeling skin leaped into the air, a tentacle more than half a meter long, covered in foul-smelling slime, extended from its mouth and attacked the back of his head.

The instant he felt a chill on the back of his head, and his scalp tingled, he didn't hesitate and instinctively did a side roll to dodge.

At the same time, he locked onto the Crimson Licker behind him and used the [Thunder Arrow] skill card, instantly conjuring a lightning arrow crackling with electricity above his head.

Swift as lightning!

Whoosh—!

The lightning arrow, crackling with electricity, pierced the crimson licker's tentacles in an instant, penetrating its exposed brain with lightning speed.

puff!

The Scarlet Licker's brain was torn apart!

A blue-purple spherical arc of electricity instantly formed around the lightning arrow, enveloping the Crimson Licker's body and triggering paralysis and stun effects.

One-hit kill!

This is the power of the Thunder Arrow!

Just as Qin Xu completed his side roll, a kill notification flashed before his eyes. The Crimson Licker, which had been instantly killed in mid-air, was thrown out by inertia.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a low-tier elite [Crimson Licker], Doomsday Points +20]

[Ding! You have obtained a beginner-level elite monster illustration: Crimson Licker, Doomsday Points +2]

"The Thunder Arrow skill is so powerful? It can actually kill a low-level elite monster in one hit!" Qin Xu, who had escaped death, squatted on the ground and exclaimed in amazement.

As he picked up the flashlight that had fallen to the ground and stood up, a faint green light emanated from the monster's corpse that had been thrown heavily to the ground.

They gathered together in a flash, coalescing into an exquisite green card.

After the system automatically picked it up, a system message popped up in front of Qin Xu's eyes.

[Ding! You have obtained a [Beginner Skill Trial Card (To be unlocked)]]

"A beginner skill trial card? What kind of beginner skills can I get?" Qin Xu muttered to himself before using the beginner skill trial card.

Congratulations! You have obtained a beginner skill trial card: Wind Barrier.

[Wind Barrier]

[Card Level: Beginner (Green)]

[This card is a beginner skill trial card, only used to experience the effects and power of magic skills. Remaining cast count: 3/3]

[Skill Effect: After use, it can instantly create a wind barrier with a diameter of two meters, which can block a large amount of physical and magical damage for 10 seconds.]

[The Wind Barrier has an upper limit to its energy threshold; it will break if the threshold is exceeded.]

The card has been stored in the system space and can be retrieved and used at your convenience.

"Huh? It's a defensive spell, and it can be used three times."

Upon seeing the skill card he had unlocked, Qin Xu's face lit up with joy. He ran towards the mall entrance while simultaneously using another white skill card that was yet to be unlocked.

[Ding! You have obtained a beginner skill trial card: Frostbolt]

"Huh? Why is it Frost Arrow again?" He thought he would get a new skill trial card, but it turned out to be Frost Arrow, which he had obtained before.

In fact, the Frost Arrow is very powerful and can kill a low-level mutated monster in one hit. Most importantly, the skill cards can be locked on by thought.

This is equivalent to having a lock-on cheat; you can hit the enemy 100% of the time without even aiming.

A [Wind Barrier] skill card and a [Frost Arrow] skill card are enough to save Qin Xu's life in a life-or-death crisis.

Just as he ran out the door, another loud bang came from the mall behind him.

"This shopping mall is a monster's den," Qin Xu thought to himself, quickening his pace and sprinting towards the commercial street.

The rain outside has stopped by now.

The dark clouds dispersed, and countless stars twinkled around the enormous crack that stretched across the sky.

Most striking of all were the two bright moons, one silver and one blood-red, in the sky.

"Why is the blood moon appearing again?" Qin Xu, who was running, subconsciously glanced around, but everything was normal, and the scene of the otherworldly forest did not appear.

He kept scanning ahead with his flashlight to check for any spatial distortions or fog.

Just as he ran back to the supermarket entrance, half-squatting down to take out his keys and open the door, the surrounding air suddenly began to distort.

The next second, the ground beneath my feet trembled violently, followed by a muffled rumble from underground, and the concrete floor instantly cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

The tiles on the walls and the glass in the second-floor windows shattered instantly, falling down with a crash, and the supermarket shelves slammed to the ground with a bang.

earthquake!

Qin Xu yanked open the roller shutter and shouted to the second floor, "Zhang Yanan, come downstairs right now! There's been an earthquake!"

"Ah—!" Lin Xiaoqing's terrified scream echoed from the second floor, followed by Zhang Yanan's husky shout, "Shut up!"

"Are the two worlds about to completely merge?"

Unable to stand, Qin Xu stumbled to the middle of the street, dodging falling objects from above, and looked around in terror.

He was shocked to discover that the space around him was completely distorted.

The sky was filled with stars, a huge crack, and two bright moons were dancing and swaying wildly in the sky. He was certain that it was not a visual illusion caused by an earthquake!

The spatial distortion combined with the earthquake caused Qin Xu to fall into a state of dizziness within seconds, his mind went blank, as if he had crashed.

The screams and roars of terror came from all directions, making Qin Xu realize that this sudden earthquake had a wide impact and that many people were hiding in the surrounding residential buildings.

He shone his flashlight around, checking for any strange fog.

The earthquake lasted for seven or eight seconds before stopping, and just then, something even more despairing happened!

The space erupted in excitement!

When Zhang Yanan and Lin Xiaoqing ran out of the supermarket in terror, Qin Xu's pupils dilated dramatically, and he looked around at everything as if boiling water.

"Qin Xu, what happened? What do we do now?" Zhang Yanan's terrified voice brought Qin Xu back to his senses.

"Waaaaah~ Is this the end of the world? Are we going to die?" Lin Xiaoqing was so frightened that she broke down crying, her whole body trembling and her face full of despair.

"Run!" Qin Xu couldn't think of any other way but to run.

He grabbed Zhang Yanan's hand and ran towards the end of the commercial street, intending to hide in the open area of ​​the city square and see just how large the spatial distortion was.

The moment Zhang Yanan ran out, she grabbed the disoriented Lin Xiaoqing and pulled her by the arm, running together towards the end of the commercial street.

Running for their lives.

Qin Xu suddenly felt the earth tremble violently again, and everything around him underwent earth-shattering changes, with the surrounding buildings rapidly receding!

The world is flashing!

Scenes of cities, forests, deserts, oceans, glaciers, and more flash rapidly, each scene exuding an apocalyptic atmosphere.
