Doomsday: Becoming a Zombie at the Beginning

"A system vulnerability has been detected, zombification is suspended, and the system has started to be repaired urgently!"

When Meng Xi was about to lose consciousness, the voice in her head sounded again.

"call…"

The sudden sound was like the sound of heaven, and Meng Xi let out a long sigh of relief. Hearing this, it seemed that there was no need to continue turning into a zombie.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Xi's consciousness gradually began to recover, the chapped skin slowly healed, and the skin color also recovered visibly with the naked eye.

"The system has been repaired, and zombification has been suspended."

After a while, the system sound sounded again.

Meng Xi's hanging heart finally let go for the time being, won't she become a zombie now, right?
Mr. System, are you reliable?

"The system is not capable enough to completely prevent zombification!"

The system seems to be responding to Meng Xi's question: "When night falls, the host's zombification will continue. At that time, the host's mental power will be automatically and continuously consumed to delay the start of zombification!"

"It's been stopped but not completely stopped. It means that I will start to turn into a zombie as soon as it gets dark? Unless you rely on mental power to delay the conversion time?"

Meng Xi was helpless for a while, and looked at the time, it was already four o'clock.

Fortunately, it is now August, and there are still more than three hours before dark.

However, since the system can use mental power to delay the time of zombification, it is not a big problem.

According to the common setting of the traditional doomsday streaming web articles, the difficulty of the early doomsday is generally low.

At least I have 300 mental power, so I will definitely be able to survive tonight.

Otherwise, if the game starts on the difficulty of hell, a rookie like myself will not be able to play at all, it is better to just become a zombie.

Think about the protagonists of the post-apocalyptic web articles I have read, which one is not reborn with previous life experience and powerful abilities, and then hoards materials to build power to attract girls, but I still have to worry about the normalized mutation every night.

"Why don't you just lie down?" Meng Xi felt a little discouraged, feeling that this last world was not suitable for her.

"No, no, no! You can't be so cowardly, you can't bow your head to fate!" Meng Xi was really taken aback by the thought of lying flat, and quickly shook her head in denial. Life still needs to be full of hope.

"Not only do I have to work hard to survive, but I also want to become the strongest one. I don't accept this damn fate. I want to explore the truth of this doomsday!"

Meng Xi swears to herself!

"Mr. System, is it really the end of the world?" Meng Xi tried to talk to the system.

"The end of the world is coming, more than 90.00% of human beings have completed zombification last night!"

The system seems to be answering Meng Xi, but it seems to be talking to itself: "Every scarlet night, more than half of the zombies will get a wave of strengthening, please pay attention to protecting yourself."

"What is Scarlet Night?" Meng Xi asked.

"The level of a zombie can be judged by the color of its eyes!"

"Hey, Mr. System, are you listening to me?"

"During the confrontation with zombies, humans can absorb the energy of zombies to become stronger, and at the same time awaken various abilities."

"Then how do I become strong?"

"Humans and zombies are divided into levels from one to nine, and humans of the same level are generally weaker than zombies."

"Well, your system can't communicate at all!"

"Ordinary humans and white-eyed zombies are both at the first level! The basic situation of the end of the world has been explained to the host, and other rules need to be discovered by the host!"

"No more?" Meng Xi asked tentatively again.

"The last days are not easy, let's do it and cherish it!"

"You have time to talk empty words, explain the details of the last days clearly!"

The system doesn't make any more sound.

Meng Xi collected herself and began to think about survival in the last days.

The first step, of course, is to find and stockpile food.

Opened the fridge, fine, nothing.

The second step is to find weapons and fight against zombies.

I searched carefully at home. As a single otaku who usually only orders takeout and doesn't cook, I can't find any other sharp weapons at home except a pair of scissors for unpacking express delivery.

Scissors obviously cannot be used as the main weapon for fighting zombies.

After all, it's too short. If a zombie gets close, it's really hard to say who will die.

Moreover, once the scissors go down, even if it can really penetrate the zombie's head, it is probably difficult to get a headshot.

If you encounter a zombie that is taller than yourself, you can't even touch the head of the zombie.

"Hey, why is my start so difficult!! Isn't the protagonist not worthy of a good start?"

Meng Xi looked frustrated, "Let's solve the food problem first. I haven't eaten for a day, so I'm really hungry."

There is no food reserve at home. If you want to find food, you have to go out, and when you go out, you will inevitably encounter zombies.

Get ready for battle!
Thinking of this, Meng Xi took the only short weapon scissors, walked to the door, and then looked outside through the peephole.

The community where Meng Xi lives is very small, consisting of only two apartment buildings with an atrium half the size of a football field sandwiched between them.

The distance between buildings is only 30 meters.

The apartment building has 20 floors, with 10 households on each floor, distributed on both sides of the long corridor.

Through the peephole on the door, I saw two people standing motionless in the dark corridor, they should be the two mutated neighbors.

"We always have to take this step," Meng Xi comforted himself, "If you don't kill the zombies, you will be killed by the zombies. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you have the courage to kill the two zombies at the door, you won't be afraid of killing zombies in the future! "

Although the sound of the door opening was slight, it was extremely ear-piercing in this quiet corridor.

The two zombies in the corridor were attracted by the sound and started to move towards Meng Xi.

The zombie wasn't walking fast. Meng Xi saw the zombie moving slowly, and retreated abruptly. When she returned home, she closed the door again.

"The scissors are still too short, and it's risky to fight zombies! Well, it's not cowardice, it's just that the weapon is not suitable!" Meng Xi rubbed her chest to feel the beating heartbeat, and then comforted herself, "Try to find a way to change the weapon and fight again. One against two is too risky."

Meng Xi came to the balcony, took a few deep breaths to relieve the tension, and then looked at the whole community.

The zombies downstairs were still standing still, and there was no sound from the surrounding rooms.

Meng Xi leaned out and took a closer look at the neighbor's house that was being renovated, and confirmed that there were no traces of zombies.

Just now, when he was thinking about where to find weapons, Meng Xi thought that the nearest neighbor's house was being renovated and they were still smashing the wall. Maybe there was a weapon like a hammer, which was much better than scissors.

After reconfirming that there were no zombies in the neighbor's house, Meng Xi decided to test her skills.

Looking at the balcony of the neighbor's house, Meng Xi silently recited the name of the skill "Flicker", and then felt that she had already arrived on the balcony of the neighbor's house in a blink of an eye.

"Awesome!" Meng Xi sighed, and by the way, looked at his mental power progress bar, and it was indeed missing a bit. The text on it also read: "Mental power: 240/300", and the flashing skill icon also changed to gray.A countdown is displayed in the lower right corner of the icon, which should be the cooldown countdown of the skill.

After carefully looking at the neighbor's house again and confirming that there were no traces of zombies, Meng Xi mustered up the courage to walk into the living room.

Under the collapsed wall in the living room, there was a wall-breaking hammer.

Meng Xi hurried over to pick it up, and it didn't feel as heavy as she imagined. The one-meter-long wall-breaking hammer didn't take much effort to swing.

This really surprised Meng Xi. After all, for someone like him who sits in an office all year round and doesn't like sports, a weapon like a wall-breaking hammer is considered a heavy weapon, and it shouldn't be so easy to hold.

"Duang!" Meng Xi slammed the hammer against the wall, and another large piece of the wall was smashed off.

"It's not bad, it's very suitable. It's probably because I have become a little stronger with the system. This sledgehammer looks very useful. I will use this as a weapon in the future!"

Meng Xi couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw how powerful the hammer was, and felt that he could hit ten!

"The host successfully activated the weapon!" Suddenly, a system voice appeared, "The new skill 'Skylight Present' has been added to the skill library. After upgrading, the host can choose whether to learn this skill or not!"

"!!! And this benefit?" Meng Xi was very pleasantly surprised, "Mr. System, what tasks are released together!"

"..."

There is no more sound from the system.

"Mr. System?"

"..."

Looks like there are no more tasks.

Although Meng Xi was a little disappointed, his disappointment was soon overtaken by the joy of getting the weapon.

Swinging the sledgehammer, I really feel safe now, and I can finally try my hand at those two zombies.

The door was opened suddenly, and the two zombies lying in front of their house were immediately attracted by the sound, and slowly walked towards Meng Xi who was carrying a sledgehammer.

"Go to hell!" Meng Xi said silently in her heart.

Then raise the sledgehammer, hold your breath, and wait for the zombies to approach slowly.
