The two here were acting so sweet, like a sticky couple that was standing on top of soft pink clouds with many pink bubbles flying around them, unlike Qi Qian, who was isolated on the side.

    If it were the norm, Qi Qian would have felt very uncomfortable when she saw this. Her chest would tighten a little, and it would be harder to breathe. But today, she seemed to be in a daze, as if confused and was unable to think or react properly. She was definitely not in the right state of mind.

    Yue Ran glanced over at Qi Qian, looked at Qi Qian''s current state, and then calculated the time of the start of the plot in her mind. It was most likely that a system called the "Salvation System" had found the female protagonist.

    This was just the start—the initial line that would lead to the next chain of events.

    It was true that at this time, the female protagonist, Qi Qian, was communicating with the system called the "Salvation System" that had suddenly found her this morning.

    Qi Qian: "You mean that today is the start of the apocalypse? The zombie apocalypse? Right here, right now?"

    Salvation System: "Yes, invading foreign microorganisms that have been dormant for decades are about to explode and spread around the world."

    Qi Qian felt anxious.

    Qi Qian: "But why me? Why choose me out of everyone else in the world?"

    Salvation System: "After the system scanning and testing, you are the most qualified person for me to bind to."

    No matter how high the psychological quality of the female protagonist is, Qi Qian, at this time, was just a young teenage girl who had just started her first year at the university. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid at all.

    Qi Qian even wondered if all this was a prank, a stunt made for clicks, but unfortunately, it was not. She knew, and she was fully aware, that what the Salvation System said was all true.

    And because Qi Qian knew that it was true, she was even more afraid of facing it. She did not know what to do, and she could not tell anyone about the mysterious and illogical existence of this Salvation System in her mind.

    …

    To Qi Qian''s surprise, she did not expect the end of the world and the start of the zombie apocalypse to come so quickly. She did not even have any time to make any sort of preparation to protect herself or to even hoard food that would keep her alive.

    Her parents, relatives, friends... she did not have enough time to notify any of them, and there was nothing she could do to try and communicate with them. But now she has no time to take care of other things.

    When the zombie apocalypse started, a large number of zombies had already roamed the streets.

    It was a sunny day, with the sun shining brightly for one second, but the next, a gloomy shadow had descended over the city. The sky was grey and leaden, carrying huge black clouds, and lightning flashed in a mass of darkness.

    It had become a drowsy and stormy day.

    Several neighbors who have turned into zombies are constantly knocking on their doors. As the sound increases, more and more zombies gather in front of the door.

    Fu Chen was the first to react, and he immediately hugged Yue Ran into his arms.

    "Ran Ran, you wait here for me first. I will go and take a look outside," he said.

    "Okay, but you have to be careful," Yue Ran replied with a frown, worry evident on her beautiful features.

    "Do not worry, Ran Ran," Fu Chen said in a gentle tone. He smoothed the girl''s furrowed brows and tenderly rubbed her cheek.

    The scene outside could be clearly seen from the windows.

    The zombies'' appearances were ugly to look at.

    Their limbs were stiff, and their decayed and withered skin rotted and turned abnormally green in color. Their hair appeared as if it were singed; their pupils in the eyes gradually became smaller and smaller until they disappeared, leaving only the white part of the eyes; their fingernails grew longer; and one after another, such creatures kept coming out of the residential building indiscriminately, wandering the streets purposefully, looking intently for their targeted food.

    From time to time, there will be people screaming and howling in pain and terror, as well as the hoarse roars of zombies. The sound of dread was endless. The sun disappeared into the sky, and the night is eternal. All the plants withered overnight, and the once beautiful blue planet has become a lonely and lifeless death star.

    There were too many zombies outside the door, and their numbers were far from what Fu Chen was able to block and resist.

    The moment Fu Chen opened the door, several zombies with stiff limbs rushed up like hungry and ferocious beasts that had spotted fresh meat. They looked aggressive and very dangerous.

    And even though Fu Chen had already reacted very quickly to come in and close the door, the zombies still moved so swiftly that they touched his skin a few times.

    There seemed to be someone coming out of the door of the apartment, just like Fu Chen, but the man''s speed was a little slower. In an instant, the man, a big living person, was divided into many pieces of meat that were divided among the monsters in front of Fu Chen.

    Even though his psychological quality was much better than that of an average person, Fu Chen was still disgusted by the scene that happened right in front of his eyes.

    Fu Chen quickly moved furniture behind the door and blocked it with his body, but it still did not work. He could clearly feel the vibrations and hear the loud sounds of banging, one after another, on the door. With every hit, he felt the door being pushed a little bit more than before.

    As time went on, the gap in the door opened wider and wider, and the unpleasant smell of stinky and rotten flesh came along with it. From time to time, long nails of zombies would come from the gap in the door.

    Qi Qian panicked when she saw such a scene.

    Qi Qian: "System! Is there anything that you can do about this? Do we just have to wait to die?"

    Qi Qian anxiously asked this question to the so-called Salvation System in her mind.

    Salvation System: "You will not die; you will awaken your ability very soon."

    The system replied calmly.

    Qi Qian: "But... but I do not have any of the so-called ability now! Did you not say that I am someone destined to save the world? If so, then I must not die!"

    She does not want to die!

    The Salvation System thought about Qi Qian''s words.

    What she said was indeed right. It would take some time for Qi Qian to awaken her ability, and she really could not do anything during this period of being "a normal person with no ability".

    Salvation System: "Well, okay, I understand. I have a Stealth Pill here in the system store, but it needs to be exchanged for points. You do not have any points yet, so you can only owe it first."

    As if trying to seize the last chance at life, Qi Qian answered the Salvation System with intense glee.

    Qi Qian: "Yes, okay!"

    Qi Qian does not have any problems with owing points as long as she can stay alive.

    Qi Qian: "About the Stealth Pill, what does it do? What is its function?" sea??h thё N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Thinking about the recommended product by the system, Qi Qian could not help but ask for more detailed information.

    Salvation System: "Once eaten, the Stealth Pill will allow you to camouflage and hide yourself as if you are one with the world. No zombies will even realize your existence when the pill is consumed. One stealth pill will last for an hour, two hours at most."

    Hearing this, Qi Qian replied ecstatically in her mind.

    Qi Qian: "Okay, exchange it quickly!"

    There was a sound of clinking coins in Qi Qian''s mind, followed by the system''s mechanical voice.

    Salvation System: "Successful exchange. Your points have now turned negative."

    When the Salvation System finished speaking, a small, oval white pill suddenly appeared in Qi Qian''s hand.

    Qi Qian: "System, is there only one Stealth Pill?"

    Without reading Qi Qian''s mind, the system already knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

    It is for Fu Chen.

    But this Stealth Pill was a precious resource and could not be exchanged casually.

    The Salvation System had made a thorough scan of the two people next to Qi Qian when it first bound itself to her.

    From the results the system scanner got, it was very likely that the boy named Fu Chen would also awaken his supernatural power, like Qi Qian, not to mention that his mental power is also very strong. It was just that the girl named Yue Ran was just an ordinary human being, not impressive at all. There was nothing special about her.

    Salvation System: "Okay, you can exchange one more Stealth Pill. One of the pills is yours, while the other one is for Fu Chen."

    Qi Qian did not think too much about the system''s words at the moment. She only knew that she and Fu Chen were safe now, so her mood immediately turned joyful.
