Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

After a moment's thought, Qin Xu had a rough idea in mind.

There might be fog in this village, as well as some monsters wandering around. Just now, some survivors must have come out to look for supplies and were ambushed by the monsters.

Surely it couldn't be... that the fog suddenly appeared on some unlucky guy's face, could it?

The probability of this happening is probably low.

In short, this village is not safe; there may be wisps of mist and monsters roaming around. It is not a place to stay for long.

Qin Xu didn't plan to go to the place where the screams came from to check the situation, because he was still hungry and would wait until he had eaten and drunk his fill before going.

When you are weak and have little fighting power, it's best not to be too curious, because curiosity killed the cat.

As a person, one should act within one's capabilities, especially in a perilous end-of-the-world environment, and never put oneself in any dangerous situation.

Because life is not a game, there is no option to start over!

Be extremely careful!

Qin Xu took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable panic rising in his heart, and kept his mind clear instead of letting his mind wander.

Fear is useless now. We must overcome our fear and adapt to the end-times environment as soon as possible. Since we cannot change the environment, we must adapt to it.

He went down the ladder into the yard, but instead of resting in the north room, he went into the kitchen to see if there was anything he could help with.

He wasn't very familiar with Zhang Yanan, not even friends. To put it bluntly, they were just using each other, so he needed to maintain a good relationship with her.

We need to build trust with each other as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to sleep with one eye open and the other closed, because trust is very difficult to build in the end times.

For now, however, the two are getting along quite well. Standing at the door, he looked at Zhang Yanan, who was staring blankly at the gas stove inside, and asked, "Do you need any help?"

"Go pick some vegetables from the garden," Zhang Yanan said with a slight smile to Qin Xu, coming back to her senses. "There's no soy sauce, vinegar, or other seasonings, so we'll just have to boil them."

"But I have instant noodle seasoning packets." She pulled a sauce packet and a powder packet from her pocket, waved them at Qin Xu, and asked, "By the way, can you eat spicy food? If you can, pick a few green chilies."

She had just washed two stainless steel pots, one large and one small, and put water in them. She was just waiting for the water to boil so she could cook millet porridge in one pot and vegetable noodle soup in the other.

She had heard the screams earlier, of course, but she had heard them so many times in the past few days that she had become somewhat numb to them. In the apocalypse, how could people not die?

Although I was still a little flustered, I wasn't as scared as I was at the beginning. My legs went weak from being frightened. A person's mental threshold keeps rising.

In just half a month, after experiencing many dangers, she has grown a lot and is no longer a delicate little girl.

All she wants now is to live a good life!

"I can eat spicy food." Qin Xu went into the house, took a basin to wash vegetables, and went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pick some vegetables that were almost ripe.

Tomatoes, eggplants, green beans, and peppers; the small cucumbers are kept to be eaten raw.

Next.

The two cooked in the kitchen while discussing their next plans. During this time, Qin Xu subtly learned a lot about the situation in this world.

This is a world similar to Earth, but there are still significant differences in history, culture, technology, and so on. The timeline is 2012, and today is September 12th. The current geographical location is within the territory of Zhongyuan Province and Nanshan City.

An hour later.

The millet porridge and vegetable noodle soup are ready.

The two, who were already starving, wolfed down their food, finishing off the small pot of thick millet porridge and the vegetable noodle soup with very little noodles.

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

Qin Xu cleaned the two pots thoroughly, filled them with water, and started boiling them. He then found several empty two-liter beverage bottles to use for the boiling water.

He left Zhang Yanan to watch the pot while he continued searching for useful supplies in the rooms.

Two lighters, a flashlight, and some other odds and ends that might come in handy.

Because of limited space in his backpack, Qin Xu picked through and threw away some less useful items, and then packed in a change of clothes.

Even so, the backpack was already half full, and the remaining space needed to be used for water and food.

Finally, he found a stainless steel fork used for forking grass in the storage room, with a 1.5-meter-long wooden handle and a 40-centimeter-long four-pronged fork.

"An inch longer, an inch stronger," he thought, intending to use this fork to poke the mist monster.

He had considered making a spear with a wooden handle and a beginner's short sword, but ultimately gave up because he couldn't find anything suitable to bind and secure it.

So, for now, let's use a fork. If we aim for the head, we can still get a headshot.

After boiling the water, they filled four bottles. The two of them each took two bottles, picked all the edible vegetables and put them in their backpacks. After checking one last time to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything, the two of them left the courtyard.

It's a little past seven in the evening, and the sky is starting to get dark.

Because of the fog and monsters in the village, the two decided after discussing it that they would not stay there overnight, but would leave Yangjiazhuang overnight.

Qin Xu carried the fork on his shoulder and held a peppercorn stick in his right hand as he walked ahead, followed closely by Zhang Yanan, who held a round wooden stick that she had taken off the shovel.

He had only taken a couple of steps when he suddenly turned to look at Zhang Yanan beside him and said in a deep voice, "Walking is too slow. We need to get a means of transportation to save our energy."

After thinking for a moment, he continued to Zhang Yanan, "The monster should be wandering around the center of the village. Let's circle around the perimeter of the village, and if we can't find it, we'll leave immediately, okay?"

"what?"

Zhang Yanan was slightly taken aback. She felt that she should hurry up and run away, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded.

"Fine, I'll trust you this once."

"Let's go." Qin Xu quickened his pace and led Zhang Yanan around the outskirts of the village. At this moment, he had gradually gained control of the relationship between the two of them.

Five or six minutes later.

Qin Xu found a pedicab chained to a utility pole at the entrance of a courtyard and squatted down to check the tires and handlebars.

After confirming that there was no problem, he took out two thin iron wires from his pocket, inserted them into the keyhole and fiddled with them for a few moments. With a click, he opened the lock.

"Huh? You can actually pick locks?" Zhang Yanan, who was on guard duty, was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qin Xu to be able to pick the lock with just two wires, and in just a few seconds.

"No problem." Qin Xu stood up, raised an eyebrow at Zhang Yanan, threw his backpack, fork, and peppercorn stick into the back of the tricycle, and then got on.

"Get in the car quickly, let's go!"

By this time, it was completely dark.

Surprisingly, the village still had power, and the streetlights were on. Qin Xu guessed that the nearby power plant was still running automatically.

After Zhang Yanan got into the back of the tricycle, Qin Xu pedaled the tricycle out of the village.

He had only ridden a little over a hundred meters when he suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped. He reached for the fork in the sidecar, because there was a figure standing in the shadows seven or eight meters away.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanan also gripped the wooden stick in her hand tightly with a nervous expression and asked in a low voice, "Qin Xu, do you think that's a person? Or a monster?"
