Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

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

[Ding! Mission completion +1]

The moment the frozen zombie's head was severed, two system notifications flashed before Qin Xu's eyes.

The third frozen zombie roared and charged forward. As expected, Qin Xu once again raised his knife and chopped off its head.

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

[Ding! Mission completion +1]

Three headless monster corpses fell to the ground one after another with a thud, and a white question mark trophy condensed on one of the corpses.

[Ding! You have obtained a [White Quality Loot (To be opened)]]

Qin Xu switched to data mode, glanced at the minimap, and after confirming that there were no monsters around, he used the white loot he had just obtained.

[Ding! You have unlocked a white-quality loot item and obtained [Solid Alcohol (100g * 50 pieces)]]

"This is good stuff." Looking at the small blue cube in the system space, Qin Xu's lips curled up slightly. This was an essential supply for survival in the wild.

After storing the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) in his hand into his system space, he opened the map to take a look.

They discovered that there was no road ahead.

However, in the northwest corner of the ice cave, an image of an ice-blue treasure chest had appeared, even though he clearly remembered that this treasure chest wasn't there when he checked the map earlier.

Did it spawn after killing three zombies?

With his doubts in mind, Qin Xu cautiously walked towards the location of the treasure chest.

Upon arriving at the location of the icon, there was indeed a treasure chest made of ice on the ground.

"Is this a reward from the points system? Or did it appear during the apocalypse?" He squatted down, examining the item information of the treasure chest with a puzzled look.

[Supplies Box]

【Material: Ice】

[Grade: White]

[Quickly open it and see what's inside; perhaps you'll find the supplies you need.]

It seemed like he had thought of something.

He switched to gamification mode, but the ice-blue treasure chest in front of him did not disappear. He then switched back to realism mode, and the treasure chest was still there.

It seems that the appearance of the treasure chest is not necessarily related to the system mode. The treasure chest was not refreshed because of the data mode, but was marked on the map after the refresh.

The temperature inside the ice cave was lower than outside. Qin Xu subconsciously shivered, rubbed his hands together, and then opened the supply box to check it.

A fist-sized piece of smoked meat, two palm-sized pieces of whole-grain bread, and two red apples.

"Who can eat this little bit of stuff?" Qin Xu muttered to himself, switching to data mode, and the item information instantly appeared in his field of vision.

Smoked Beef

A 160-gram piece of smoked beef, ready to eat.

Whole grain bread

[A 150-gram whole-grain bread, edible]

Red Apple

A red apple weighing 120 grams is edible.

"As long as it's not poisonous." Qin Xu picked up an apple, took a bite, and found it crisp, sweet, and juicy—it tasted good.

After putting all the supplies from the supply box into his pockets, he returned the way he came and crawled down to the ground.

When he scrambled to the cave entrance, he found Zhang Yanan standing guard outside. "Give me your hand," she said, extending her hand, which was red from the cold.

Qin Xu took her hand and, with her help, crawled out of the ice cave. As soon as he came out, he felt a chill and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.

"It's getting colder, we need to find another place." Zhang Yanan rubbed her hands together. "I just looked around, and we can go to the grassy area."

She pointed to the meadow with the well, which wasn't far, only about a hundred meters away. "Didn't you just walk around there? What do you think?"

"No problem." Qin Xu nodded, took out an apple and put it in her pocket. "There are two in total. I just ate one. You can keep this one."

"Thank you." Zhang Yanan smiled faintly, her cheeks slightly red from the cold. She didn't rush to eat the apple, but followed Qin Xu towards the coconut tree.

Lin Xiaoqing huddled under the coconut tree, hugging her knees, shivering from the cold.

"I just found two pieces of whole-grain bread, one for each of you." Qin Xu took out two pieces of whole-grain bread from his pocket and gave them to the two women.

"Th...thank you." Lin Xiaoqing nodded, trembling, and took the bread.

"This place is unbearable, let's find somewhere else." Qin Xu opened his backpack and started stuffing coconuts inside. "Take as many as you can."

After stuffing his backpack full, he carried it on his back and then picked up four coconuts.

Zhang Yanan stuffed the bread into her pocket, then picked up five coconuts; Lin Xiaoqing simply took off her raincoat and used it as a bundle to hold all six coconuts.

The three walked toward the grassy area more than 100 meters away.

Upon stepping onto the lush green grass, the temperature quickly rose to 26 or 27 degrees Celsius.

"It seems that the temperature is completely different in different terrains." Qin Xu glanced back at the iceberg, then walked towards the collapsed church.

After arriving at the well.

He put down the coconut in his hand, took off his bulging backpack, and said to the two of them, "Let's stay here for now. The water in the well is drinkable."

As he spoke, he picked up his backpack, walked to the corner, and sat down, intending to rest for a while before exploring the surrounding map, searching for monsters and supplies.

Lin Xiaoqing put down the coconut in her hand, leaned over the well, and drank the well water in big gulps; Zhang Yanan, on the other hand, sat down next to Qin Xu while holding a coconut.

"What are your plans next?" She piled the coconuts together, reached into her pocket, pulled out a whole-grain bread, tore off a small piece, and popped it into her mouth.

"Have you ever played an open-world game?" Qin Xu opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yanan. "You know, the kind of game with a very large map and a high degree of freedom."

"Does Genshin Impact count?" Zhang Yanan asked.

"Okay," Qin Xu said, "From now on, imagine this world as a hardcore post-apocalyptic survival game with a high degree of freedom and no missions."

An immersive experience, requiring a single life to complete, and without any game interface.

"Treat it like a post-apocalyptic survival game?" Zhang Yanan was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Does that mean there has to be a main quest and storyline?"

"No plot, no main quest, and no rewards whatsoever." Qin Xu shrugged at her, a wry smile on his face. "Do whatever you want."

"Oh~" Zhang Yanan nodded, eating the bread in her hand while lost in thought, considering what her next goal should be.

Lin Xiaoqing also came over and sat down on the other side of Qin Xu, pitifully expressing her loyalty: "Qin Xu, I will listen to whatever you say, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yanan, who was deep in thought.

Qin Xu glanced at her, then closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything." He needed to get back to his normal state as soon as possible.

Within minutes, he leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

He slept soundly and woke up fully refreshed, having slept for at least three or four hours.

Lin Xiaoqing was curled up beside him and had fallen asleep.

Zhang Yanan leaned against the other wall, holding a coconut in her arms, staring blankly into space, seemingly lost in thought.

"How long did I sleep?" Qin Xu subconsciously raised his wrist, only to find that his watch had stopped. He turned to look at Zhang Yanan, who was in a daze.

"Huh?!" She snapped back to reality, turned to look at Qin Xu, and thought for a moment before saying, "It must have been three or four hours, the watch has stopped." She raised her wrist and showed Qin Xu the watch face.

"You should get some sleep," Qin Xu said, looking up at the starry sky, only to find that the stars and the moon did not seem to have moved.

Why is this happening?

Does this world not distinguish between day and night?

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything." Zhang Yanan held a coconut in her hands, closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually became steady.

Next, Qin Xu kept looking at the dozens of moons in the sky. After about two or three hours, the stars and moons in the sky did not move at all.

Something's definitely not right!

A day in this world is not 24 hours.

He took out some smoked beef from his pocket and ate it. After finishing, he opened a coconut to drink. Only after he was full did he wake up Zhang Yanan and Lin Xiaoqing, who were fast asleep.

"Be careful, I'm going to check if there are any supplies nearby." After giving the two instructions, Qin Xu stood up and left the ruins.

"Be careful, we'll wait for you to come back." Zhang Yanan, still a little groggy from just waking up, told Qin Xu, "Don't go too far, be careful not to get lost."

"Don't worry." Qin Xu turned to her and smiled. "I won't get lost."

This grassland is not very large, at most one square kilometer, and is surrounded by wilderness, desert, glaciers and a dense forest.

After exploring the entire grassland area, the areas covered by fog on the map were also revealed.

There are more than a dozen abandoned buildings, seven or eight icons, two caves, and a small stream.

There were no monsters.

Qin Xu walked toward the nearest building, where there was a box icon and a cave icon nearby.
