Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

Looking at the half-collapsed stone house in front of him, Qin Xu frowned slightly.

He put his hands in his pockets, walked around the stone house, which was about ten square meters in size, and finally stood on the completely collapsed wall to examine the situation inside.

The single bed, table, and other furniture were buried under the collapsed roof. In the corner, there was a wooden box buried under rubble, which was the box marked on the map.

[A simple wooden box]

[Grade: White]

[Quickly open it and see what's inside!]

Qin Xu walked over, cleared away the rubble and dirt that were pressing on it, and then opened it up.

A rusty wooden-handled axe, a box of matches that was only half full, and a half-empty bottle of salt—after checking the item information, I found that they were all ordinary items.

These supplies couldn't be put into the system space, so Qin Xu suspected that they were refreshed by the apocalypse, but why would it do that?

He stuffed the matches and salt into his pocket, then picked up the rusty wooden-handled axe and tested its feel. "Even though it's rusty, it still works."

Qin Xu glanced at the map, and after confirming that there were no monsters or creatures around, he left the stone house and walked towards the cave icon seven or eight meters away.

Approaching from the front and back.

He discovered that this was not the entrance to the cave, but a square wooden board about one meter in size, covered with slippery moss, which should lead to a basement or cellar.

Crunch-!

Qin Xu squatted down, reached out and grabbed the blackened end of the rope on the cover. With a little force, a crack was lifted in the stiff wooden board, and a stale, moldy air immediately rushed out through the crack.

He hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and took a few steps back.

After patiently waiting a few minutes for the air inside to circulate, Qin Xu gripped the axe in his hand, went to the entrance, and glanced inside.

It was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything. The smell of decay and mold lingered.

He listened intently for a while, and after confirming that there was no sound inside, he took out a flashlight from his pocket and shone it inside.

Under the beam of light, a large amount of dust can be seen floating in the air.

Below is what appears to be a basement, with large patches of dark green moss and unknown fungi growing on the damp floor, and some insects resembling woodlice scurrying about in panic.

Qin Xu didn't rush in. Instead, he went back into the stone house, moved the wooden box over, took out a piece of solid alcohol from the system space, lit it, and threw it inside.

Then, using the wooden crate as a torch, they pushed it down the slope into the basement.

Boom!

After waiting for another ten seconds or so to confirm that the air quality inside was fine, Qin Xu took out the pistol tucked in his waistband and carefully walked in.

Solid alcohol ignited the wooden crate, and the flames illuminated the entire basement.

This is a basement room that is about ten square meters.

In the corner, there was a pile of rotten junk that was unrecognizable, emitting a pungent smell of decay. Next to it were two skeletons, one large and one small, curled up together.

Qin Xu opened the map and glanced at it. There was only a green dot representing him, and the two skeletons were not displayed, so they shouldn't be monsters.

The map shows a door icon on the wall behind the skeleton.

"Is there a door?" He walked to the location of the door, raised his flashlight to examine the moss-covered wooden wall, but he couldn't see the outline of a door.

Since the map marked this location as a door, it must be right. Qin Xu held up a flashlight in his left hand and used an axe in his right to scrape the moss off the wall.

A few minutes later.

He scraped the moss off the wall and started banging on it with an axe, trying to determine the door's location by the sound.

Bang, bang bang.

"Why are they all solid?" Qin Xu frowned slightly, then suddenly looked at the skeletons at his feet. "Could the secret door be located underground?"

He hooked the two skeletons with his axe and tossed them aside, then squatted down and scraped away the damp soil with the axe, and sure enough, he found a hidden wooden door underneath.

"The hidden door is so well concealed, could there be treasure inside?" Qin Xu asked excitedly, using an axe to clear away the dirt covering the hidden door.

A few minutes later.

Just as he cleared out the one-meter-square hidden door and reached out to pull it up, the two skeletons he had just thrown aside suddenly came to life!

Two eerie green flames of soul energy suddenly ignited in the skull's eye sockets, and two skeleton monsters, one large and one small, staggered to their feet.

Crunch~ Crunch~

In that instant, two red dots appeared on the minimap floating in the upper right corner of Qin Xu's vision!

He quickly released the hidden door in his hand, stood up, and turned to look behind him. In the firelight, two skeleton monsters, one large and one small, staggered over.

[Skeleton Monster]

Monster Type: Undead

[HP: 50/50 (100%)]

Danger Level: ★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

[A skeleton monster formed from human remains, an undead creature, fearing holy and light magic; the soul flames in its eye sockets are its fatal weakness.]

Faced with two skeleton monsters, one large and one small, Qin Xu instantly switched to realism mode and hurled the axe in his hand at the head of the adult skeleton monster.

boom--!

A shot that hits the target within two or three meters!

The axe struck the skull precisely, sending it staggering back a few steps.

Unfortunately, it did not cause any real damage.

The moment the axe was thrown, the Mo Dao appeared in Qin Xu's hands and stabbed towards the skull's eye socket, instantly extinguishing the eerie green soul flames.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted his wrist, smashing the skull into pieces.

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

[Ding! Mission completion +1]

The instant the skeletons scattered across the ground, Qin Xu suddenly raised his foot and kicked the one-meter-tall skeleton next to him, sending it flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

He then gripped the longsword tightly with both hands and plunged it fiercely into its eye socket.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a low-level monster [Small Skeleton Monster], Doomsday Points +1]

[Ding! Mission completion +1]

"How come the little skeleton monster only has one point?" Looking at the scattered bones on the ground, Qin Xu slightly curled his lips and put the Mo Dao in his hand into the system space.

Neither of the two skeleton monsters dropped any loot.

He picked up the axe from the ground and opened the hidden door again. It was pitch black inside, but he could feel a gust of air mixed with a musty smell coming out.

The beam of the flashlight illuminated the interior, and Qin Xu then realized that it appeared to be a mine shaft.

"A mine?" He frowned slightly, turned around, picked up the burning wooden box, threw it into the mine, and tossed a piece of solid alcohol into the flames.

Boom~~

The flames grew larger instantly.

After confirming that the air inside was fine, Qin Xu switched to data mode, grabbed a flashlight in one hand and an axe in the other, and went inside.

He raised his flashlight and looked around, but couldn't tell what kind of mine it was.

There are two straight passages, each about seven or eight meters long, on either side, but it's unclear whether the passages end at a bend or a dead end.

After opening the map, only this straight mine shaft is shown; the rest of the area is shrouded in mist and needs to be explored before it can be recorded on the map.

The mine was completely silent, with only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat. Just as Qin Xu was wondering which way to go, a gentle breeze brushed against his face.

He raised his hand, carefully felt the wind direction, and then walked towards the breeze.

At the end of the mine was a right turn. After walking another seven or eight meters, the beam of the flashlight suddenly shone on a hunched figure.

The fog covering the map dissipated, revealing a red dot.
