CHAPTER 672: 【666】QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE 2 (1 UPDATE)
"Welcome to the apocalypse. How would you like to choose your ’Golden Finger’ this life?"
As she was staring blankly at everything, Liang Tian’s voice suddenly rang out, reminding Tangyuan that she was currently in the mission world.
Navigating the post-apocalyptic world naturally meant choosing the Farming System. Suddenly, Tangyuan felt this was quite humane.
"You’re actually not choosing in advance, but making the selection after arriving in this world. When did you become so nice?"
"Don’t get too happy too soon. In a world frozen over, being too comfortable simply means not surviving. Are you sure about choosing the farming path?"
"Yes, I’m sure. What kind of apocalypse is this? An extreme climate apocalypse?"
Liang Tian’s muffled voice transmitted, "You’ll know when you see for yourself. Since you’ve skipped choosing the Space Mall twice, I’m informing you that the Space Mall will now be permanently closed, never to appear again."
The corner of Tangyuan’s mouth twitched, "You’ve got to be kidding. So if I chose the mall, would the Farming System be closed?"
Liang Tian’s sinister voice sounded, "If you had chosen the mall this time, your space might be permanently closed, whether it’s the storage function or the farming function, neither would exist anymore!"
After Tangyuan scorned it in her heart, she snorted coldly, "Fine, fine, fine, you’re the System, you call the shots."
After that, there was no more sound, but she remembered Liang Tian’s words. What did it mean that the frozen-over world was nearly impossible to navigate?
Given the lack of food at home and her growing panic from hunger, she quickly opened her Farming System, only to get even angrier at what she saw.
"You actually formatted it? What happened to advancing to the black land and staying black?"
Liang Tian ignored her. Regardless, she could only start with carrots and radishes. At first, she only had two plots of land, and the System’s gift was only one hundred Gold Coins, which were only enough to buy her five seeds. Damn you, Zhou Bapi!
With the crops maturing in eight hours and only two plots of land, she would inevitably have to sell the harvest from one to get by, while using the other’s yield to comfort her insides.
Exiting her space, Zhu Li touched her ridiculously flat stomach, wishing she could find something tasty to eat.
No sooner had this thought occurred to her than she felt her right palm start to heat up. Then, a seedling-like seed began to spin slowly under a layer of green light, and Zhu Li stared incredulously, "What, what is this?"
Immediately after, her Dantian also started to warm up, something deep in her Spiritual Sense seemed to be urging her on. Realizing she might have entered a mystical world post-apocalypse, Zhu Li closed her eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to concentrate all the power around her into the palms of her hands.
Then, her left palm started to warm up, and a light blue watermark of the Water Element appeared.
Hours later, she opened her eyes and excitedly said to Liang Tian in her space.
"I never expected that after the freeze-over, my body would undergo mutations. Now I am a dual-element Superpower Body with wood and water systems?"
Seeing Liang Tian remain silent, Zhu Li continued, "With the wood system, I can hide my space’s farming function. With the water system, I can assist plants in growing quickly. These two skills should be considered supportive skills. In other words, to survive in this apocalyptic world, any team would probably need a superpower like mine."
No wonder her space now contained only a watering can with water and no Spiritual Spring Pond. It seems that the Spiritual Field really pushed its planning to the limit.
Cultivation of superpowers, besides constant use, involved absorbing the essence of powerful Mutated Animals.
But this was a city; where could she find such Mutated Animals? Especially now that she was at the infancy stage, the only way to improve would likely involve proper usage of her own efforts?
Zhu Li felt she had to go to the supermarket to get some seeds, as the seeds from her space could not be used outside, so she could only look for seeds from the outside world for cultivation.
Upon stepping outside, Zhu Li looked at the lifeless and dilapidated world, wondering how many people could awaken to superpowers.
However, as soon as she stepped out the door, she saw zombies, clad in various clothes, wandering around the villas—some in pajamas, some in down jackets, others in shorts and bare-backed. Among these people, some were already rotting, their flesh sloshing and falling as they walked, while others seemed fresh, except for their pale, lifeless eyes and stiff bodies which told us they were no longer normal humans.
If the villas were in such a state, what chaos would there be outside the area?
Zhu Li suddenly felt that going out at this time might not be the best decision, especially given Hua Country’s large population.
She began scrutinizing her surroundings and noticed the dry leaves of vegetables rather than flowers growing in her neighbor’s garden, her eyes lighting up.
If the neighbor managed to grow vegetables, that meant they had seeds!
Zhu Li cautiously pushed open their fence and entered, scouring the ground. She found no seeds or viable roots, as nothing much survived under the ferocious storms.
In a corner of their yard, she found a pile of miscellaneous items. There were tools for gardening, and after scanning the surroundings, she found a large bag of seeds on the bottom shelf of a shelf. Elated, she unhesitatingly picked up tools like the shovel, planning to head out with them.
But then, with a ’click,’ the door, which had been firmly shut, suddenly pushed open from the inside. Her footsteps faltered, and she instinctively gripped the hammer in her hand tightly.
Soon, a young man in sportswear emerged, covered in blood, seemingly having faced some bloody battle. He propped himself against the door, gasping for breath, and after a moment, as if recalling something, he wiped his eyes forcefully with his sleeve and turned with difficulty for a last glance, as if bidding farewell to someone.
His actions told Zhu Li he was a normal person.
"Are you, are you alright?"
Zhu Li’s voice was soft but made the young man suddenly lift his head, his bloodshot eyes showing how startled he was to hear her voice.
Yet, when he saw she was just a young girl, he let out a long sigh of relief, "You, why are you in my house?"
Zhu Li showed him the items in her hand, "Sorry, I thought no one was home, so I wanted to take some things for self-defense. You,"
"Where do you live? I don’t recall ever seeing you," he inquired.
Zhu Li pointed next door, "I’m a relative of theirs."
The young man frowned, "I remember they were all taken away in an ambulance."
Zhu Li nodded, "I was passed out then and didn’t know anything. When I awoke, I found the world had changed, became very dangerous. Your, your family, is it also...?"
