Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

Seemingly noticing Qin Xu and Zhang Yanan parked on the side of the road, the three cars stopped one after another.

Leading the way was a black seven-seater Jeep Wrangler, followed by a blue Mazda CX-5 and a white Jinbei Haishi King.

The driver's side window of the Wrangler slowly rolled down, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, a square face, and a rugged appearance.

He looked Qin Xu and Zhang Yanan up and down, who seemed a little nervous. A kind smile appeared on his slightly tired face. "Young men, don't be nervous. We're not bad people."

"We're planning to find a place to stay in Nanqiao Town tonight. Would you two like to come along?" The middle-aged man with a buzz cut invited Qin Xu and his companion.

We are still in the early stages of the apocalypse, and resources are plentiful. Most people tend to stick together and help each other. More people mean more strength, and there aren't as many bad people as you might imagine.

Humanity doesn't disappear overnight; it takes a complex process.

Just then, the rear window of the Mazda behind them rolled down, and a young girl with long brown waves poked her head out, waving excitedly at Zhang Yanan sitting on the tricycle.

"Yanan, what are you doing here? I thought I'd never see you again." The girl's name was Yang Xue, and she was Zhang Yanan's college classmate.

The two knew each other, but weren't very familiar with each other; they met at a party organized by a friend.

"Xiaoxue." Zhang Yanan responded with a smile, but didn't say anything more. The two were just nodding acquaintances, and she had no idea who Yang Xue was.

I've only heard that Yang Xue has a messy private life and changes boyfriends every few days, so the two of them are not in the same circle at all.

At least the two have different views on love. In Zhang Yanan's opinion, finding a boyfriend should be with marriage in mind, not just about messing around with different men every day.

Most importantly, Zhang Yanan has a strict criterion for choosing a boyfriend: he must be able to beat her in a fight. She doesn't want to find a useless man who needs her protection!

Simply put, she admires strength!

This has resulted in her never having been in a relationship and remaining single.

It's not that she doesn't want to talk, but she feels that if she finds a man who is not as good as her, she can't protect him alone when they encounter danger, can she?

Whenever she thinks of this, she can't help but purse her lips in disgust.

"Ya Nan, let's team up and keep each other company so we can look out for one another," Yang Xue suggested. "Many hands make light work, and we can take turns keeping watch tonight."

"My name is Chen Jianguo. I served in the Southwest Border Defense Force for several years." The middle-aged man introduced himself and, before Qin Xu could speak, continued, "If you'd like, you can come to Nanqiao Town to find us."

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and continued driving towards Nanqiao Town ahead, without rashly inviting Qin Xu and Zhang Yanan, two strangers, into the car.

The blue Mazda followed closely behind.

As Yang Xue started driving the Mazda, she said to Zhang Yanan, "Uncle Chen is a nice guy. We just happened to meet on the road."

"Ya Nan, come with your boyfriend. I'll wait for you in town."

"He..." Zhang Yanan wanted to say something more, but the Mazda had already driven far away.

She glanced subconsciously at Qin Xu, who had changed into a black tracksuit. He had short hair, a rugged face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall stature, giving people a sense of security that he was reliable and dependable.

However, he probably can't fight as well as I can!

"What do you mean?" Looking at the three cars that had already driven into town, Qin Xu turned to Zhang Yanan and asked, "Do you know the girl in the Mazda?"

"Her name is Yang Xue. She and I were classmates in college, but in different classes." Zhang Yanan sheathed the dagger in her hand at her waist. "I don't know her well, but I've heard that she's had more boyfriends than best friends."

"Oh, so that's the Sea Queen, maybe even a bio-engineered baby." Qin Xu smiled, pedaling his tricycle towards town as he continued, "I think we can try to communicate with them."

"As for whether or not we should stay overnight together, that depends on the situation." He glanced back at Zhang Yanan and asked, "What do you think?"

"Okay." Zhang Yanan frowned slightly and thought for a moment before speaking. "Now that network communication is paralyzed, we need to communicate more with other survivors and learn as much as possible about the apocalypse."

"Looks like we've got the same idea." Qin Xu pedaled hard on the tricycle and rode towards the center of town. He could already see the three vehicles that had stopped earlier in the distance.

While riding his bike, a thought flashed through his mind, and he directly activated the loot in his system space. He had just realized that activating loot didn't require taking it out.

[Ding! You have unlocked a white-quality loot item and obtained [Basic Survival Supplies (1 person)]]

[Two bottles of mineral water (600 ml each)]

[One can of luncheon meat (300g)]

Multigrain bread (200g each) * 2

"This is all the white quality you've got?" Qin Xu couldn't help but complain in his mind. "This little bit of stuff... is just enough to feed one person without making them starve."

However, he thought again that this was just a white loot dropped by killing a low-level Corruptor. If he obtained higher-level loot, he should be able to get better rewards.

I just don't know the drop rate of loot, and what kind of monsters drop high-level loot.

In any case, since the loot can yield food and drinking water, his chances of surviving in the apocalypse are much higher than those of other survivors.

Thinking of this, Qin Xu felt much more at ease and subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

The Corruptor he killed earlier earned him two Doomsday Points, but the Points Shop will only unlock after the newbie quests are completed, so he doesn't know what items he can buy in the shop yet.

"I need to hurry up and complete the newbie tasks to unlock the points shop and the career system," Qin Xu muttered to himself with anticipation.

Compared to the points mall, he was actually more looking forward to unlocking the career system, because the career system might allow him to obtain a combat-type career, thereby continuously becoming stronger and becoming a powerful superhuman.

The town of Nanqiao ahead must be without power. The whole town is dark, not even the streetlights are on, and it's eerily quiet. You can't even hear a dog bark.

A few minutes later.

Qin Xu rode his tricycle to the central square of Nanqiao Town. The three vehicles were parked there, and about ten people got off, all of them young people in their twenties and thirties, including two children in their teens.

The retired veteran named Chen Jianguo was talking quietly with several other young men. When Qin Xu rode over on his tricycle, they all turned to look at him.

"Young man, you're here." Chen Jianguo walked over with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, tossed one out, and handed it to Qin Xu.

"Want one?"
