You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

[Congratulations, host, for defeating the Netherworld Wolf King and successfully clearing the final dungeon! Rating: SSS+!]

[Returning to the real world is imminent!]

[Rewards are being processed, please wait...]

Lou Fengyue threw away the baseball bat in her hand; her breathing was still disordered after the intense exercise.

A flash of white light appeared, and the scene before her gradually took shape. When everything became clear, she was already standing in her luxury apartment, still wearing that worn-out tracksuit stained with brown blood.

Six months ago, she was forcibly pulled into a virtual disaster game. The game matched her with a post-apocalyptic survival system, thus beginning her journey of finding supplies, killing traitors, killing zombies, and killing mutated beasts.

Having survived near-death experiences, barely clothed and starving, Lou Fengyue suddenly felt a little lost looking at the exquisitely decorated apartment in front of her.

After the initial confusion, I was so excited I wanted to cry.

After five months and twenty-five days, she finally cleared the final level and came back!

She drew the living room curtains, immediately took off her dirty, smelly clothes and shoes, and threw them all into the trash can.

He then went into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with hot water, and lay down inside.

She had forgotten how long it had been since she last took a shower.

A single swipe of the bath sponge upwards produces enough mud to build a wall.

The bathwater turned into muddy water, so Lou Fengyue got up, stood under the bathroom heater, and washed herself from head to toe again.

Only after my skin was washed until it was red and I smelled wonderful did I wrap myself in a bath towel.

She stood in front of the sink, took a new toothbrush, and began brushing her teeth.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the mirror was covered with a thin layer of fog.

She reached out and wiped it away.

The reflection revealed the girl's beautiful face, with fair skin and delicate features, but she was emaciated. Her cheeks were sunken, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

Those once bright and sparkling eyes are now only as calm as still water.

Lou Fengyue didn't care about these changes; it was already an achievement to survive the natural disaster game.

I'll just need to take more supplements in the future.

[Ding! Reward settlement completed!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an unlimited capacity space ring, 10 Body Tempering Pills, 20 Holy Light Spring Waters, and 2 SSS-grade Armor.]

[In recognition of the host's outstanding performance in the instance, a hidden feature has been unlocked—Supernatural Ability Replication!]

Lou Fengyue spat out the foam in her mouth, and paused upon hearing the system's voice.

All I could hear was the sound of rushing water.

Is this reward... a little off?

She's already beaten the game, why would she need armor?

What's the point of having the ability to copy?

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding washed over me.

The next second, another panel popped up in front of me.

[71 hours and 16 minutes until the natural disaster strikes. Please prepare, host!]

"What?!"

Lou Fengyue's expression changed instantly, her fists clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged.

"Damn system! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

[Natural disasters are natural calamities, and the system's purpose is to pre-select chosen ones. The host is precisely the chosen one selected by this system.]

Screw you, chosen one!

Lou Fengyue only wants to kill people right now!

In the game world, she awakened a metal-type superpower and used a spiked club to conquer all dungeons.

Back in the real world, her superpowers were gone. How could she fight zombies with this fragile body that could break at the slightest touch?

[Host, even after a natural disaster, you still have a chance to awaken your superpowers. Furthermore, you currently possess the ability to replicate superpowers, which could absolutely save the world!]

[I'll save your grandma's leg!]

Lou Fengyue roared inwardly, all she wanted was to live a good life and enjoy a peaceful existence. Let whoever wanted to be the savior be it!

Lou Fengyue splashed some cold water on her face and managed to calm herself down a bit.

The real world is different from the game world.

In the game world, she was all alone. If she could live, she would; if not, she would simply die sooner and be reborn sooner.

But in the real world, she has family.

Even without grand ambitions to save the world, it's impossible to remain unaffected.

[Three days until the natural disaster strikes?]

Yes. Three days later, torrential rains struck, flooding engulfing the area and marking the beginning of the first major challenge to survival.

Lou Fengyue closed her eyes and sighed. She changed her clothes and searched the house for a long time before finally finding her phone under her pillow.

The time displayed is: March 27, 3:17 PM.

I didn't expect that real time and game time are synchronized. So if she stayed in the game for half a year, wouldn't she have disappeared from the real world for half a year?

Without much thought, Lou Fengyue dialed her brother Lou Yunzheng's number.

The call connected almost instantly, and an urgent voice came through: "Yueyue! Is that you? Where are you?"

Hearing her family's voices after so long, Lou Fengyue's nose tingled, her eyes suddenly reddened, and her voice trembled: "Brother... I missed you..."

"Where are you? At the police station? I'll come pick you up!" Lou Yunzheng didn't have time to ask his supervisor for leave, so he grabbed his car keys and ran out in a hurry.

Lou Fengyue sniffed and said, "I'm fine, I'm back at my apartment. Brother, I've lost all my money, I'm penniless now, and I can't even afford food."

"The money's gone, but at least you're safe. You wait here, I'm coming right now. Stay put and don't wander off!"

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lou Fengyue tore off two tissues and wiped away her tears.

He then glanced at the apartment's electronic security door and pondered for a moment.

He walked to the door, picked up the fire extinguisher next to it, and smashed it hard against the door lock.
