Chapter 1: Survival at the End of the World!
The darkness as thick as ink completely enveloped the earth.
Li Zerun slowly woke up from the chaos. His head felt like it was filled with heavy lead and he was aching dully.
He wanted to move his body, but found that his muscles were sore, as if they were being pulled hard by countless invisible hands.
After trying his best, he finally stood up shakily.
Li Zerun groped and touched the wooden table. The rough touch made his palm hurt. There seemed to be a bottle of mineral water and a piece of compressed biscuit on it.
There was a broken bed next to it, and when I ran my fingers over the broken part, I felt a sharp pain.
Looking up, the entire cabin was small and cramped, with boundless darkness. Only a few faint moonlight could be caught through the tiny gaps between the wooden boards. That was the only light in this thick darkness.
"Is this a ship? Why am I here?" Fear and confusion were like a surging tide, completely drowning Li Zerun.
He held on to his weak legs, held on to the shaking cabin wall, and groped his way to the bow in the darkness.
Every step is full of unknowns and anxiety, and my heart is beating violently in my chest, as if it is about to burst through my chest.
Just as Li Zerun touched the bow of the ship, a flash of light suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, a glowing screen came into view.
[Apocalyptic Sailing Survival World]
Immediately afterwards, words appeared on the screen -
"Welcome to the apocalyptic sailing survival world, this is a world full of opportunities and crises... The following are the apocalyptic sailing survival rules, please read carefully!"
[Apocalyptic Sailing Survival Rules]
[Rule 1: Please protect your ship, it is your only shelter in the apocalypse. Alien creatures cannot enter your ship directly, unless they break in violently or use special props. Remember to be vigilant against every creature that wants to board your ship. ]
[Rule 2: The ship will dock at a random port at 8 a.m. and set sail on time at 11 a.m. During this time, you can choose to stay on the ship or go out to explore. Please be sure to get back to the ship before sailing, otherwise you will be left behind in the port! ]
[Rule 3: Ships will rarely dock at the same port more than once, which means that if left at the port, you are likely to die. ]
[Rule 4: Ships are driven intelligently, without the need for human control. The ship's speed is controllable within a certain range, with a minimum of five knots, and the initial default is to sail at the fastest speed. ]
[Rule 5: Collect enough resources to upgrade the ship level. With each upgrade, a cabin is added, and new features are unlocked at certain levels. ]
[Rule Six: Persons with limited civil capacity and persons without civil capacity will be raised by the system shelter for the time being, so please rest assured and grow up. ]
[Rule Seven: Never drink water from the ocean. No one can guarantee what strange changes may occur! ]
[Warm reminder: more hidden rules are waiting to be discovered...]
[The ship is starting, please sit tight and hold on, I wish you a pleasant journey! ]The voice of mechanical intelligent broadcast sounded.
As the voice ended, the ship began to speed up.
On the endless sea, there is only one person, lonely and deserted.
"Have I traveled to a post-apocalyptic seafaring survival world?!"
Although Li Zerun was still confused, as an avid fan of survival novels, he slowly came to his senses with the experience and knowledge he had accumulated over the years.
He began to try to familiarize himself with the information on the screen and clicked on the ship portrait in the upper left corner -
[Ship Information]
[Ship Name]: Unnamed.
Ship level: Level 1.
Ship speed: 5 knots.
Ship Offense: 0 points. (The ability of a ship to launch an attack. The stronger the attack, the greater the destructive power.)
"Ship Defense": 10 points. (The ship's ability to resist attacks. If the ship's resistance is halved, it will be destroyed. If the resistance is reduced to zero, it will sink.)
"Number of cabins": 1.
「Basic conditions for upgrading」: Wood (0/200 kg), Plastic (0/100 kg), Metal (0/200 kg).
Afterwards, Li Zerun opened the chat channel, which was divided into three types: [World Chat], [Regional Chat], and [Private Chat].
At this time, a lock shape is displayed on the [World Chat], which should mean that it is not open.
So, Li Zerun clicked into [Regional Chat].
[Regional Chat] (Online users: 999/1000)
"Have I been kidnapped and taken to a boat to northern Myanmar? Please, don't hit me in the waist."
"Fuck, where is the girl I was just hugging? What kind of a hellish place is this? Let me out! If I find out that this is some bastard's prank, I will make you die a miserable death." "
Dude, don't be ridiculous. I just took drugs and was ready to have a good time, but in the blink of an eye I ended up on this broken boat. I'm crying."
"I'm even worse off. I just locked the door and was ready to accept the favor of the master, but I ended up in this hellish place. The key is that my girlfriend still has the key." "
Dad! Can you come and save me? I don't want to stay here. I want to go home!"
Looking at everyone's down-to-earth remarks, Li Zerun gradually forgot about his current predicament.
As soon as he relaxed, his eyelids began to droop and he slowly fell asleep.
In his dream, Li Zerun's ship was soaring recklessly in the sky with the force of thunder, showing his dominance all the time...
-----------------
At 7:50 in the morning, Li Zerun was awakened on time by his biological clock.
Early eight people, early eight souls!
A handful of bitter tears, who can understand the taste of it? !
"Fuck, it's 7:50, get up quickly, there's no time for breakfast, we're going to be late!"
Li Zerun rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, and shouted hurriedly.
Unfortunately, the familiar voice did not come as usual.
Li Zerun was still lying on the bed at this moment. He felt the bumpy ride of the ship before he realized everything.
He stood up suddenly, walked to the half-open window of the ship and looked out.
The sky was cloudless and the sea was peaceful.
He didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He quickly walked to the screen at the bow and found a new message that had not been confirmed.
[Activation of the ship's operating system has been detected, and the predictive system has been automatically activated. Do you want to bind? ]
"Yes!"
[Obtained the predictive system - predictive port information! ]
[Predicted port information: Each time a ship is started, the specific information of the next port of call will be automatically updated. ]
[This stopover port: Xingwang Hotel (single-person port), no danger. ]
[Port Introduction: This is a hotel forgotten in the long river of history. I hope it can be the place where your dream begins. "
Is this my system?!"
Li Zerun was very happy. This is the standard configuration of the male protagonist in a cool novel.
Things like tearing a white lotus apart with your bare hands and slapping it in the face, don't bully a poor young man, having three thousand beauties in your harem... all of these are inseparable from its credit!
As expected, it arrived on time at eight o'clock!
[The ship has arrived at the port, please disembark in an orderly manner! ]The voice of mechanical intelligent broadcast sounded.
There is a button next to the ship door, which controls the opening and closing of the ship door.
Li Zerun pressed the button and the ship's door opened.
A building came into view, with four big words written above the open door -
Xingwang Hotel!
Li Zerun hesitated for two seconds, observed for a while, and confirmed that there was no danger around.
Only then did he begin to walk away from the ship.
Chapter 2: The First Port of Doomsday
The moment Li Zerun left the ship, the ship's door closed automatically with a dull sound.
There is only a small path connecting the ship's berth and Xingwang Hotel.
As for the distance between the two, it is about 10 meters.
Close, it can be said to be very close.
Li Zerun walked forward a few steps and stood in front of the door of Xingwang Hotel, feeling both nervous and a little expectant.
Although the predictive system showed that there was no danger here, he did not dare to be careless in this unknown doomsday sailing world.
At the same time, he could not retreat. Exploring this prosperous hotel and collecting resources were urgent tasks.
After all, the ship only stays in this port for three hours, which is not enough time.
He took a deep breath and then walked into Xingwang Hotel.
The interior of the hotel looked a bit old, and there was a faint smell of mold in the air.
There were a dozen large wooden round tables neatly arranged in the hall, but dozens of wooden chairs were scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner, as if there had been a chaos here before.
There were some broken porcelain pieces and food residues scattered on the ground, making it look a bit messy.
Li Zerun carefully avoided these, walked through the hall and went straight to the kitchen, hoping to find some life-saving tools as soon as possible.
After entering the kitchen, Li Zerun was quick to find a machete on the stove.
Although the blade of this machete is a little rusty, the blade is still sharp.
He put the machete on his waist and suddenly felt more secure.
Then, he found an electric saw in the corner of the kitchen. He tried it and found that it was still working properly, so he put it away as well.
"Water, I have to find water first." Li Zerun muttered to himself.
Water is the source of all things. Even in this doomsday, edible water is still the first resource that bears the brunt.
This is a problem that no wilderness survivor can avoid.
Rushing to the bathroom on the first floor, Li Zerun was surprised to find a row of faucets that looked a little rusty.
"Rust is not a problem, as long as it can be used. I just hope water can flow inside it."
He turned on a faucet with anticipation.
"Tick."
A drop of water fell slowly, and then there was no movement.
The second, third...all the taps have no water!
Not reconciled!
Li Zerun absolutely couldn't believe that such a big hotel couldn't even accommodate a few drops of water!
He ran to the toilet cubicle again and pressed the flush button hard.
As expected, there was still no water.
If this situation happened before the end of the world, he would definitely shout out loud -
Landlady, why is there no water?
At this moment, Li Zerun could only swallow his anger and shook his head helplessly.
"I can only give up looking for water for the time being."
Just as he came out of the bathroom somewhat dejected, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a lot of drinks on the counter diagonally in front of him.
Li Zerun quickly rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was blinded by thirst.
It didn't disappear, it seems like it didn't disappear!
Maybe this isn't an illusion.
With an excited mood, he walked quickly to the hotel counter.
There were various drinks on the counter: Fisherman Spring mineral water, Wang Xiaoji herbal tea, small bottles of Jingjiu...
He couldn't wait to pick up the bottle of mineral water closest to him, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and drank it all.
The cool water flowed into his mouth, instantly making him feel comfortable, as if the dry land had finally welcomed the long-awaited rain.
Cool!
"Alive!"
Li Zerun breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up a 300ml bottle of Orange Juice and drank it in one breath.
Enjoyable!
After he recovered from his shock, he quickly packed up all the wine and drinks and moved them back to the ship in several trips.
Roughly speaking, the water supply problem should be solved in a short time.
After a while, Li Zerun successfully moved the drinks.
There was no time to settle the accounts. He hurried back to Xingwang Hotel with the chainsaw in his hand, ready to continue plundering resources.
First, he sawed the large wooden round table in the hall into small pieces so that it would be easier to move.
Afterwards, all of them, along with the wooden seats, were carried onto the ship in batches.
During the moving process, even though Li Zerun's forehead was covered with sweat and his arms were trembling slightly due to the effort, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Collecting supplies and sweating and exercising can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After transporting supplies back and forth several times, the ship gradually became a little crowded.
This is mainly because the ship currently has only one cabin and the available space is limited.
In addition, there are a lot of supplies now and they are not arranged neatly.
So, Li Zerun opened the ship upgrade panel, hoping to find a solution in it.
[Basic conditions for upgrading]
- Wood (0/200 kg).
- Plastic (0/100 kg).
-Metal (0/200 kg).
In the prompt bar at the bottom right of the screen, there is a line of text:
Please select any area on the ship as the upgrade resource area.
And below this line of text there is a line of small words slogan -
Resources invested in the upgrade resource area will be automatically included in the specific space and will not occupy the actual space of the ship.
"Good guy, this way, we don't have to worry about not being able to load supplies due to lack of space for the time being."
So, Li Zerun marked out a small area not far from the door of the ship as an upgrade resource area.
Moreover, he put all the resources he had just collected into it.
After completing all this, he decided to take a break, panting.
I glanced at the watch - 9:45.
There was still more than an hour before departure, so he had to speed up.
Basically all the things that could be moved in the lobby on the first floor were moved, and those that could not be moved were moved as much as possible.
Suddenly, he remembered that there were plastic chopping boards, wooden chopsticks, iron soup ladles and other items in the kitchen.
These are all rare upgrade materials.
So he quickly returned to the kitchen, collected and packed these items one by one, and moved them to the ship as quickly as possible.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zerun quickly climbed dozens of stairs and reached the second floor.
Judging from the decoration and layout of the second floor, it should be the private room area.
Without any hesitation, he immediately prepared to enter the private room on the second floor.
The door of the private room was ajar, so I pushed it open and entered.
Li Zerun found a box of milk and a lollipop on the table.
He put the food into his pocket and secretly felt relieved.
After all, these supplies are undoubtedly very valuable in the doomsday world, and can even be said to be luxury goods.
Afterwards, Li Zerun searched each private room one by one, but found nothing new.
After confirming that there were no other high-quality resources on the second floor, he continued to saw tables, move things, go up and down the stairs, and go back and forth.
As time passed, my physical strength was gradually consumed.
Gradually, Li Zerun's every breath began to become heavy, and every step he took felt like he was dragging a lead block.
10:57!
Only 3 minutes left before departure!
We must leave now, saving our lives is the most important thing!
Before leaving, he suddenly looked at the cash register, and it seemed that the place had not been cleaned out yet.
Open all drawers quickly.
Two packs of napkins and three loaves of expired bread were found in one of the drawers.
He couldn't help but complain: "Damn, this bread is a bit moldy, even dogs wouldn't eat it!"
Although the bread was already stained with some mold, in this environment, Li Zerun had no room for complaining.
Let it be moldy. Eating a little won't kill you. Staying alive is more important!
He did not choose to take the contents of the drawer separately, but rather took the drawer itself away together with the contents.
Grab as many things as you can and run towards the ship.
Li Zerun's steps were staggering and his breathing was rapid.
There was only one thought in my mind: I must catch up!
Chapter 3 Triggering the Selection Task
[The ship is starting, please sit tight and hold on, I wish you a pleasant journey! ]
At eleven o'clock, the ship set sail on time.
Li Zerun collapsed to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
"Fuck, I'm so tired. Xingwang Hotel doesn't look big, but moving things here is enough to tire a dog to death."
He said to himself.
It took a long time to saw the table with an electric saw, and I had to climb up and down the stairs, back and forth, which really took quite a long time.
In addition, human energy is limited, and moving things is hard work. You always have to move for a while and then rest for a while. It's really hard to describe...
After Li Zerun recovered some strength, he walked to the bow and clicked on the upgrade panel to check the progress.
[Basic conditions for upgrading]
-Wood (250/200 kg).
- Plastic (5/100 kg).
-Metal (10/200 kg).
The wood has reached the upgrade requirements and there is still some left.
Not bad!
Finally, Li Zerun counted the gains from this trip.
In addition to the resources needed for upgrading, there are also the following gains:
- Drinks: 12 bottles of beer, 10 bottles of soft drinks, 15 bottles of mineral water, 10 bottles of herbal tea, and 1 box of milk.
-Others: 12 packs of cigarettes, 1 lollipop, 3 pieces of expired bread, 2 packs of napkins, 1 machete, 1 chainsaw.
Li Zerun felt a little more at ease when he looked at these supplies.
Although the process was extremely difficult, at least he gained more survival resources for himself and his ship.
After all, in this doomsday sailing world, every resource may become the key to survival, and every effort may be a bridge to hope.
At this moment, information is rapidly flashing across the regional chat.
"Where is your first port of call? I'm docked in a fitting room, and there's only a bra in it."
"The one upstairs, take a look at the size of the finished product. If it fits, I'll exchange supplies with you."
"?"
"Fuck, why am I so unlucky, there's not a single thing to eat at the port of call, and the little supplies the ship originally had were eaten up a long time ago. Now I can only chew tree bark."
"I docked in a small mountain village, and the villagers felt sorry for me and gave me a packet of instant noodles and a clean pair of shorts to fill my stomach."
"No, buddy, you didn't wear shorts originally or did you do something with your original shorts?"
"Is there a young man who can give me a bottle of water? I'm running out of water... You can exchange it with the underwear I'm wearing now."
"This girl must be crazy, what can you do with worn underwear? What idiot would exchange it?"
"Kid, you're still too young. Some people just like this. Unworn underwear has no taste, only worn underwear smells good."
At this moment, a transaction information in the transaction column, in which underwear was exchanged for a bottle of mineral water, disappeared instantly.
Afterwards, a burst of "666" and "unbelievable" words occupied the chat interface...
It seems that most people did not encounter any danger in the first port of doomsday navigation.
Coo coo coo!
I'm hungry.
Although Li Zerun was immersed in the joy of collecting resources, his stomach was reminding him that
it was time to eat.
Eating means consuming food, and consuming food requires collecting new food.
This is a dead end.
At this moment, he wished he didn't need to eat.
Just like a god with no desires and no demands, he lives a carefree and happy life.
However, the reality is cruel. Li Zerun found that most of his resources were water products, and his body would not be able to withstand drinking only water.
As for dry food, he seemed to have only three pieces of moldy bread.
I don't want to eat unless it's absolutely necessary...
He clicked on the [Trading Platform].
I was going to hang a bottle of mineral water on it, but what I chose to trade were five compressed biscuits.
A trading window appeared on the screen, displaying ---
[Please mark the items you want to trade. ]
Li Zerun pointed to a bottle of mineral water in front of him.
[Mineral water] Marked successfully! ]
Then a full-scale physical picture of the bottle of mineral water appeared in the trading window.
He tried to open the bottle of mineral water, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it open.
Quite interesting!
It must be because it is marked.
After about a minute, a message appeared on the screen indicating that the transaction was awaiting confirmation.
A full-scale physical image of the counterparty's five compressed biscuits also appears in the transaction window.
[Please confirm whether to trade the product. ]
After confirming that everything was correct, Li Zerun clicked [Yes] on the screen.
The original mineral water disappeared out of thin air, and was replaced by five compressed biscuits.
Then he exchanged a box of milk for a comfortable quilt.
This trading channel is quite user-friendly...
-----------------
The next day, Li Zerun was awakened by a strong urge to urinate and felt like his bladder was about to explode.
"Fuck you, I shouldn't have drunk so much yesterday."
Li Zerun's face was filled with anxiety. He couldn't solve the problem on the ship as he still had to live here.
There was no other choice, Li Zerun had to walk to the open window of the ship, take off his pants, and take out the big thing.
Sizzle!
"Great!" Li Zerun felt relieved and suddenly felt refreshed.
Then he took a look at the scheduled port of call information.
[This port of call: Streets of Doom (single-person port). ]
[Port Introduction: This is a street infected by the zombie virus. Desolation, dilapidation and terror fill the entire street, symbolizing the coming of doomsday. ]
[Danger information: There are 3 zombies on the street where the port is located. The virus carried by the zombies will threaten your health. Try not to let the zombies get close to your body. Danger level: 1 star. ]
[Treasure information: There is a level one treasure chest in the middle of the street, and a zombie has a corresponding key in his pocket. ]
[Randomly trigger the selection task, please choose. ]
[Option 1]: "Brave and Fearless", enter the doomsday street and kill 3 zombies, and you will be rewarded with a PPQ pistol and a spare magazine.
[Option 2]: "Temporarily avoid the limelight", hide on the ship and develop quietly, do not enter the Doomsday Street, and you will be rewarded with a pack of napkins.
"Is this the system's selection task?"
Li Zerun took a deep breath. He didn't expect that there would be a selection task. This could be considered an extra gain.
No matter which one you choose, you'll win.
However, from the perspective of long-term development, [Option 1] is certainly better.
But, can I really defeat three zombies when I have a hard time even slaughtering a pig?
Li Zerun looked at the rusty machete in his hand and hesitated a little.
"Fuck it, let the brave ones enjoy the world first, I'm going to fight those beasts!"
"Select the task corresponding to [Option 1]!"
[Task option selected successfully! ]
Li Zerun encouraged himself, and then waited quietly for eight o'clock to come.
Eight o'clock exactly!
[The ship has arrived at the port, please disembark in an orderly manner! ]
Li Zerun's heart started beating rapidly.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. After all, he had never fought in his life, and now he had to face three creepy zombies.
This is not only a physical battle, but also a psychological one.
"Why don't I just not go out?"
As soon as this thought popped up in Li Zerun's mind, he quickly rejected it.
I have a predictive system, and my level of danger has been reduced by several levels compared to other people.
If you are still a coward, you don't deserve to call yourself a real man.
"Done!"
Li Zerun took a deep breath and pressed the door opening button hard.
What meets the eye is a heart-pounding doomsday scene.
At the entrance of the port, there is an eye-catching stone tablet with four big characters written on it -
Doomsday Street!
The strong wind whistled past, carrying debris with it, as if it was a sad song at the end of the world.
The ruined streets were stained with blood, the broken walls cast strange shadows in the haze, and deathly silence enveloped everything...
Chapter 4: Zombie Storm
Li Zerun took a deep breath, raised his foot and continued to walk forward.
The air was filled with a pungent mixture of rotten and burnt smells that almost made him feel nauseous.
Soon, at the corner of the street, he unexpectedly saw a hideous zombie.
This creature, which only exists in TV dramas, now appears alive in front of Li Zerun.
The zombie had a hunched body, and its skin was a disgusting blue-gray color. Its blood vessels snaked under its skin like earthworms, and its empty eye sockets flashed a bloodthirsty light.
Oh my god!
Li Zerun's heart suddenly tightened, he swallowed subconsciously, and his nerves instantly tensed up.
He held his breath, tapped the ground with his toes, and carefully moved sideways towards the direction of the building next to him.
He tried to make no sound with every step, to reduce his presence as much as possible, but his eyes were always fixed on the zombie.
Fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. Just as he was about to get close to the building, he tripped and kicked a small stone. A
"click"
sound that seems harmless at ordinary times is particularly harsh in this dead silent environment.
The zombies, who were extremely sensitive to sounds, were instantly attracted by the sound. Their originally slow movements suddenly became agile and they roared.
At this moment, it was turning around in a twisted and strange posture, chasing towards Li Zerun madly.
The originally planned stealth + assassination collapsed the moment the stone was kicked.
"What the hell!"
Li Zerun cried out in horror, his body taking several steps back uncontrollably.
He turned around suddenly and ran towards the convenience store nearby.
While running forward desperately, he looked back from time to time, worried that the zombies would catch up with him.
After all, the unknown distance is more frightening, and only by always paying attention to the distance between the zombies and yourself can you feel a little at ease.
However, trying two things at once and looking back frequently will eventually distract your attention.
As a result, Li Zerun tripped over some inconspicuous items on the ground without paying attention.
His back hit the convenience store shelf hard, and the glass bottles on the shelf shattered one after another at his feet.
A foul smell hit me in the face. The zombie with blue-gray skin was stuck in the gap of the cash register. Its festering knuckles scratched the metal surface, making a harsh sound.
"Fuck fuck fuck!"
He hesitated for a moment, and after a mental struggle, he raised the machete, and the tip of the knife drew a messy arc in the air.
A figure suddenly jumped out from behind the shelf, causing him to swing his knife reflexively, but he only cut off half of the opponent's ear.
Now, the one-eared zombie was biting the air with its crooked jaw, and dark yellow mucus dripped from the corners of its open mouth.
Bang!
The machete slipped out of his hand and hit the cash register keyboard. Only then did Li Zerun realize that his palms were already soaked with cold sweat.
The moment the zombie suddenly exerted force to knock away the obstacle, he almost rolled and crawled backwards, and the snack shelf that was knocked over by his back collapsed with a loud bang.
The puffed food packaging bag burst open under his feet, and he stumbled and fell next to the beverage refrigerator, hitting the back of his head and making his vision go black.
"Help... Help..."
The trembling last word was still stuck in his throat when he noticed a second rotten body emerging from the shadow of the shelf.
The two zombies came from an angle, and the crushed potato chips made a faint whining sound under their feet.
The fear of dying made his bladder tighten, and he was almost about to pee.
Li Zerun grabbed a glass bottle from the freezer and threw it at the zombie.
The vodka bottle exploded in the zombies' chests, and the strong smell of alcohol made them even more violent.
One of the zombies stepped on the falling cans and suddenly lost his balance, and his rotten knees fell heavily on the overturned shelf.
Right...now!
Li Zerun bit his lip fiercely, and the smell of blood stimulated his adrenaline to surge.
He grabbed the tilted metal shelf and pushed hard, and the rusty joints made a teeth-grinding friction sound.
As the three-meter-high shelves collapsed like dominoes, he heard the muffled sound of bones breaking -
two zombies were accurately crushed under the layers of steel frames, and at this moment they were twisting wildly like wild beasts trapped in a trap.
"You stinky bitch, go to hell!"
Li Zerun picked up the machete that had rolled to his feet, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and chopped wildly at the nearest head.
The vibration of the blade stuck in the skull went straight through the base of the thumb to the top of the head, and black blood splattered on the eyelashes to form a sticky curtain.
"Stab! Stab! Stab!"
Then, there were a few more fierce stabs.
When the second body stopped struggling, he realized that his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, and the palm of his hand holding the knife was stained scarlet from the cracked knuckles.
Suddenly, there was another sound of metal scraping from deep inside the shelf, and Li Zerun jumped up as if he had been electrocuted...
The third zombie was slowly crawling out of the collapsed ruins, with half of its spine poking through its work clothes.
But when Li Zerun subconsciously stepped back, he accidentally tripped over the scattered cables and fell face down without a doubt.
Fortunately, there were piles of toilet paper at the back of his head, which did not cause him much damage.
The moment the zombies pounced, Li Zerun grabbed the metal tag at hand and stabbed it forward.
The sharp price tag accidentally pierced the other person's empty eye socket, and driven by inertia, it directly penetrated the rotten brain.
"Ah~ah~ah~"
When the smelly corpse pressed heavily on his body, Li Zerun's screams even drowned out the sound of his own violent heartbeat.
When everything calmed down, Li Zerun gasped and tried to calm himself down.
Finally, it's over...
"It's so fucking disgusting!"
Li Zerun searched the pockets of the three zombies one by one. The smell was truly disgusting, but in order to survive, he had no choice but to continue.
After adjusting for a moment, Li Zerun looked at the watch on his wrist.
It's exactly ten o'clock!
At this time, there was still an hour before the ship set sail.
He took a deep breath and began searching this doomsday street with a determined gaze.
He walked lightly and carefully, trying his best not to make any noise with every step, for fear of attracting the potential danger of the port again.
Although the three zombies have fallen in a pool of blood, no one can guarantee that there is no hidden crisis.
This concerns your own life, so it is always right to be cautious.
"Treasure chest, where is the treasure chest?"
While Li Zerun was searching around, after careful observation, he discovered that there was a slightly raised ground in the middle of the street, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.
He walked quickly forward and gently pushed aside the debris covering it, and the edge of a treasure chest with a metallic texture gradually appeared.
And in the lower right corner of the treasure chest, there are four small words written - Doomsday Street.
"Found it! This is actually a metal treasure chest?!" Li Zerun was overjoyed and his excitement was beyond words.
He quickly squatted down and carefully cleared away the debris around the treasure chest. Then he held the treasure chest tightly with both hands and weighed its weight.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so heavy. It should contain many useful treasures!"
The key to "Streets of Doom" and the treasure chest of "Streets of Doom" correspond exactly to each other!
Li Zerun immediately inserted the key he had found earlier into the lock of the "first-level treasure chest".
"Ding!"
Li Zerun opened the treasure chest with excitement and curiosity.
There are 3 "conch coins" and a pair of "black stockings" stored inside.
Under the reflection of the light, the conch coin seems to shine brightly.
"That's it? Such a heavy treasure chest, and you tell me there are only three coins from someone unknown?"
"Besides, I'm a grown man, what's the big deal about giving me a pair of black stockings? Is it cosplay?"
Li Zerun was speechless and rolled his eyes.
However, this did not affect his ability to quickly put the three "conch coins" and "black stockings" into his pocket.
Without time to think, he hurriedly packed up as many easy-to-carry supplies as possible from the convenience store and rushed towards the ship.
Chapter 5 Shortcuts
Eleven o'clock exactly!
[The ship is starting, please sit tight and hold on, I wish you a pleasant journey! ]
At this moment, an unread message was displayed on the screen.
Li Zerun knew without even looking that it was the message that [Select Task] was completed.
He clicked on the screen and sure enough, it was there.
Complete [Option 1]: Enter the Doomsday Street and kill 3 zombies.
[Reward: 1 PPQ pistol and 1 spare magazine.] ]
At this moment, Li Zerun's pocket suddenly became bulging, and a gun and a spare magazine appeared out of thin air.
Li Zerun, who had never seen a real gun, suddenly had his eyes lit up and really wanted to try the feel of the gun.
But on second thought, I decided to give up.
Because - there are limited bullets.
He counted and found that there were about ten bullets in one magazine.
There are only twenty rounds in total, so you must use them sparingly.
After all, this kind of weapon with powerful destructive power is extremely precious, and one more bullet may mean a glimmer of hope.
Meanwhile, details of the next port of call have been updated.
[This time's docking port: Heping Village (a multi-person port, with a total of three ships docked this time). ]
[Port Introduction: This port is a peaceful village. Tranquility and peace are synonymous with this village. The village rule is "no killing". As for what happened in this village, no one knows. ]
[Danger information: The village adheres to the concept of harmony and beauty, danger level: no danger. ]
[Treasure information: There is a "secondary treasure chest" in the village chief's coffin, and there is a "corresponding key" in the drawer of the village chief's home. "This
is the first multi-person port. Although it says there is no danger here, in this doomsday world, places with people are more dangerous."
Li Zerun glanced at the information of the next scheduled port of call and muttered to himself.
After playing with the "black stockings", he accidentally left a small hole that could not be ignored on her calf...
Finally, after completing this great task, Li Zerun remembered the three "conch coins".
As for the use of "Conch Coin", we can only hope to obtain useful information from regional chats.
[Regional Chat] (Online users: 892/1000)
"Have you noticed that, compared to yesterday, the number of online users has decreased by one tenth, and it's only been a day."
"That's fucking horrible. If I go offline, will I really die? Can I ever return to our original world?"
"Little brother, I'm so scared. Can I go to your ship to rest at night? I don't want anything, and I can use my little white rabbit to warm your hands."
"The person above has sent the verification information. After passing the friend authentication, we can chat about the details in private."
"Big brother, the soft and sweet little boy Liang also needs comfort~"
The chat channel's popularity has indeed decreased compared to before. It seems that everyone has more or less encountered some problems at the port of call.
Seeing that there was no information about "Conch Coin" in the current chat interface, Li Zerun searched for it.
Enter "Conch Coin".
The search interface is still blank.
"Still haven't found the relevant information? Then you can only give up for now, and you will know in the future."
Li Zerun waved his hands helplessly, threw the iron treasure chest directly into the upgrade resource area, and then clicked on the upgrade interface to check the upgrade progress.
[Basic conditions for upgrading]
-Wood (250/200 kg).
- Plastic (5/100 kg).
-Metal (20/200 kg).
We still need to work harder and speed up the progress of ship upgrades.
He clicked on the trading platform and found that it was filled with food purchasing information.
This is normal, after all, the little food that the ship initially brought with it has basically been consumed by now.
Li Zerun's eyes lit up as he looked at the large amount of supplies stored on his ship.
What a great time to catch up!
In order to seize the opportunity to upgrade, he decided to exchange other supplies for some upgrade materials.
So, he set it up ten times, hanging a bottle of beer on each, and the transaction object was 5 kilograms of plastic each time.
It was set up ten times, each with a pack of cigarettes hanging on it, and the transaction object was also 5 kilograms of plastic.
He kept a small amount of beer and cigarettes for himself in case of emergency.
In the last days, tobacco and alcohol are rare commodities, and Li Zerun is not worried at all about not being able to trade them.
First, there are a large number of smokers and drinkers who have basically not come into contact with things like tobacco and alcohol after entering the end times, and their addiction to smoking and drinking is extremely severe.
Second, after the end of the world, many ships may have docked in ports with extremely cold weather, and the intake of alcohol will help keep them warm, and the inhalation of cigarettes will help numb their nerves.
Thirdly, of course, Li Zerun himself does not like smoking or drinking, otherwise he would not even like to enjoy enough for himself, let alone leave any for others.
For some reason, the regional chat channel became lively again.
Li Zerun opened the area chat again and looked through the chat history. The reason was that in this port of call, two survivors entered the same ship!
"My friends, I have personally experienced it and it works. We can cooperate with others, enter one person's ship, and then move all the resources to one ship, and then integrate all the resources to help upgrade. We are currently only short of ten kilograms of plastic to complete the basic conditions for upgrading the ship." "
Boss, you are awesome, then you should upgrade to level two as soon as possible, so that we rookies can open our eyes and see what changes a level two ship will have."
"Of course no problem, we should all unite and face the end of the world together."
"I also want to upgrade to level 2 quickly. Level 1 ships are too insecure. The online innocent girl is recruiting partners, and handsome guys who are 188cm tall are preferred!"
Li Zerun looked at the conversation in the chat interface and felt that something was very wrong.
It's not that he is dark-hearted, but he thinks the truth can never be that simple.
Let me ask, can two complete strangers fully trust each other in this situation where social order has collapsed and there are no moral or legal constraints?
Remember, human nature is evil!
However, many people have not yet realized that there is anything wrong, and some have even begun to form cliques.
After all, everyone's values were formed before the end of the world, and they are still bound by moral bottom lines in their hearts, so they generally don't easily think about killing and looting.
"No matter what, if I encounter other survivors in the future, it is better to be careful."
Li Zerun, who is well versed in doomsday survival, checked his pistol. As long as he has this pistol, his basic safety is guaranteed.
At this moment, on another ship, a woman with a sweet look and a hot body was being pressed tightly on the floor of the ship.
The man who assaulted her was the one who was speaking in the area chat just now.
That's right, this was not a collaborative effort at all, but a robbery with ill intentions.
At the previous port, the man saw a woman coming out of another ship.
So, he, who couldn't control his lower body and had a head full of evil thoughts, came up with evil intentions, and relying on his overwhelming strength as a man, he rushed forward, knocked the woman unconscious, and then threw her into his ship.
Then he took up his weapons and broke into the ship, sweeping away all the supplies on the woman's ship.
"Please, let me go, I will never appear in front of you again..."
"Let you go? You are here to help me now, I am happy, I can consider it."
"Really? As long as I do what you say, will you really let me leave here?"
"Haha, silly girl, you believe this?! You'd better not have such wishful thinking. From now on, you just stay on my ship honestly and be my plaything. It happens that there is nothing to do on the ship at ordinary times."
The man stared at the woman in front of him with lustful eyes and began to lick her neck wantonly, and then...
