Chapter 1: The Laws of the Apocalypse
Night fell, and Hua’an City, like a bright pearl, illuminated the dark night sky. Young people in daring attire strolled along the streets.
Tang Ze lowered his phone and looked at the traffic light. He felt a bit tired today and decided not to take any more delivery orders.
Vroom, vroom, vroom. The Lamborghini parked next to him roared like a beast. Tang Ze glanced over. A beautiful, refreshing young woman sat in the passenger seat, and the man driving winked at him, seemingly showing off.
Tang Ze scoffed. “Show off all you want. If I had the money, I’d buy a Wuling Hongguang and tow you away.”
Suddenly, a strange sound came from Tang Ze’s Bluetooth headset.
“Time remaining until the apocalypse: 3 hours, 31 minutes, and 13 seconds.”
“Sending Apocalypse Gift Pack 1.0.”
Hearing this inexplicable voice, Tang Ze was filled with confusion. “Who is this? Is this a prank?”
However, his phone displayed: “Open ‘Apocalypse Gift Pack 1.0’?”
“A virus, it must be a phone virus.”
Beep, beep, beep!
The car behind him started honking, urging him to move. Tang Ze accidentally touched the “accept” button.
“Infinite Supplies: Received.”
“Body Enhancement: Received.”
“Weapons and Equipment 1.0: Received.”
“Note: Items can be extracted with your mind.”
“Extracting ‘Apocalypse Gift Pack 2.0’ requires upgrading the energy bar.”
Hearing this icy voice, Tang Ze couldn’t help but shiver. “Could this be real?”
“Heh, if you’re serious, give me an AK-47 I can barely hold.”
When a battered AK-47 appeared between his legs, Tang Ze almost freaked out. “Disappear!” he quickly thought.
As the weapon vanished, Tang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart pounded uncontrollably. This came too suddenly, he wasn’t prepared at all.
He immediately made a U-turn and rushed towards his rented apartment.
Jinyuan Residential Complex was a bit far from the city center. The monthly rent of two thousand yuan made Tang Ze’s heart ache. He parked his electric scooter to charge and hurried home.
The 50-square-meter small apartment felt a bit spacious for Tang Ze. Taking off his helmet revealed a sunny face. He was only twenty-two years old and had been working for a few years, as a security guard, a waiter. He had no relatives.
After washing his face, Tang Ze sat on the sofa. “It’s best to cram on some apocalypse survival rules first.”
He immediately opened a novel app and started reading.
Two hours later, Tang Ze understood one thing: self-interest is paramount.
Opening the weapons inventory, he saw all kinds of pistols, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, and ammunition, but that was it. There were no heavier weapons, only light firearms.
As for the body enhancement, Tang Ze took out a kitchen knife and bent it effortlessly. His fingers could poke into the cement wall.
Looking at the dust on his fingers, a smile grew on Tang Ze’s face.
He took out a pistol and took a deep breath.
“Come on, apocalypse. I’m tired of this life. I’m not a little brother, I’m a big brother.”
Midnight arrived. The sound of raindrops echoed outside. It gradually began to drizzle. Terrifying screams suddenly filled the entire residential complex. Tang Ze immediately went to the balcony and saw several corpses lying on the road.
Someone who had been taking shelter from the rain tried to help, only to be touched by the rain, which corroded their body like sulfuric acid, and they collapsed with a bloodcurdling scream.
At the same time, lights gradually came on throughout the complex. People stood on their balconies, looking out in confusion, not knowing what was happening.
Everyone’s phones simultaneously received an emergency notification:
“All residents, please do not leave your homes!!!
Do not get caught in the rain!!!
Await rescue!!!”
Tang Ze frowned slightly and turned to look at the neighboring balcony. A beautiful girl also looked towards him.
Having lived here for a year, Tang Ze naturally recognized his neighbor. She was a live streamer, quite attractive, with a curvy figure, just a bit…
“What are you looking at, loser?”
She said and turned back into her apartment.
Tang Ze smiled indifferently. “Even in the apocalypse, she still thinks she’s something special.”
In the apocalypse, women = tradable goods.
A piece of bread can do anything.
Twenty years old, and he hadn’t even had a chance to fall in love before the apocalypse arrived. What a pity, though he did have some fun with those adult videos.
“Better make some instant noodles to calm my nerves. Wait, I have unlimited supplies! Why not have some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup to brush my teeth?”
Enjoying the delicacies only the rich could afford, Tang Ze took out his phone and scrolled through TikTok. The whole world was in a panic.
Soon, an emergency message was issued: all water sources were contaminated. Tang Ze shrugged. “Whatever.”
“I wonder if in a few days, a glass of water will be enough to make that woman next door kneel.”
“Heh, calling me a loser.”
“I’ll go downstairs and check out the situation.”
As soon as he reached the first floor, it was a sea of people, all lined up outside the convenience store to buy water. More people came downstairs to watch, but everyone’s faces were filled with fear. Several corpses lay outside, stimulating everyone’s nerves, making them agitated.
“Hey, don’t push!”
“Cut the line, you son of a b*tch!”
With those words, two men immediately started fighting. Women stood aside in panic. Taking advantage of the chaos, several men rushed into the convenience store and looted the supplies. The owner couldn’t stop them.
Within minutes, the supplies were ransacked by the men. The women couldn’t get their hands on anything.
“Don’t you men know ladies first?!”
A middle-aged woman wearing glasses yelled.
“Ladies your a**!”
A strong man scoffed. What time was it to be talking about such things? There were corpses lying outside.
With the arrival of the apocalypse, men’s advantages were immediately apparent.
The men who failed to grab supplies started thinking of other ways. Driving out to buy food, but looking at the corpses outside, they dared not take a single step. And they could see with their own eyes that the tires were slowly corroding. It seemed the rain could corrode rubber. Some people threw their umbrellas out to test, and found that the umbrellas were fine, but what if even a single drop touched them?
Tang Ze, leaning against the wall, breathed a sigh of relief. In less than an hour, order had begun to break down.
This little bit of water wouldn’t last long. Those with bottled water at home would be fine, but once all the food was consumed, the evil side of human nature would erupt completely.
Looking at the drizzle outside, Tang Ze began to formulate a plan in his mind.
However, a beautiful figure caught his attention. What caught his eye were those bright eyes, like glistening jewels. Delicate eyebrows outlined exquisite lines. Red lips like cherry blossoms revealed a charming radiance. A slender and graceful neck, like a work of art, elegant and soft, like the stem of a lily, inviting one to touch.
Her figure was like a melodious tune, with naturally flowing curves. A slender waist, full hips, every part was just right.
Tang Ze, a delivery guy, couldn’t possibly know her, but she was among the top three beauties in the complex. And she seemed to be a flight attendant. He had bumped into her several times in the elevator, wearing her uniform and pulling a small suitcase.
