After winning two battles in a row without any pressure, Ye Miao's panic disappeared and he was very calm when he walked out of the building.

Standing outside the gate, she briefly assessed the scene before her, confirming that the map before her had no connection to the city where she worked in the three-dimensional world. She initially determined it was the game's T City. Then, she put on the hood of her windbreaker and walked in the shadows, intending to find a safe place to hide.

"Fantasy World" is a world she is familiar with, but being here should be different from playing games, Ye Miao thought to herself.

When playing the game, it's just a game. Although the world view is detailed and the gameplay is very immersive, the relationships between players are still very simple. But if you really live in this world - it's like truly experiencing an apocalypse, and the situation is bound to be much more dangerous.

Ye Miao thought about it and decided to first find out the current background of the game, such as the specific time point and the development of the world.

The world of "Fantasy World" is constantly changing over time, and the social mechanisms, monster attributes, and resource distribution are different in different time periods.

Having made up his mind, Ye Miao pondered for a moment and walked westward.

I remember there was a bar on the west side of T City called Sunset Bar.

According to the background setting of the game, Sunset Bar was originally an ordinary bar. The ground floor was used to entertain guests, and the underground was used as a warehouse to store food and wine.

On the day when the doomsday system suddenly descended, a monster spawning point happened to appear near the bar, and the ground buildings were instantly destroyed by various monsters, but the bar owner reacted extremely quickly and immediately took the staff to hide in the basement for refuge. Later, she simply renovated the surviving basement into an underground bar, leaving only a sturdy iron door with a sealing stone connecting to the ground.

This design made the Sunset Bar extremely safe. The iron door with the seal stone only took 1 HP per attack, so it would take a long time for monsters to break in, and it would also waste a lot of magic power, stamina, and endurance.

Soon, the Sunset Bar became a small refuge where players could not only take a short break but also exchange supplies and information, much like a black market.

With his superb agility, Ye Miao managed to walk into the bar an hour later, even though he had to rely on his memory to avoid taking a lot of detours.

Mercenaries hired by the proprietress stood around the bar, primarily to prevent players from plotting to steal the bar's resources. Ye Miao found a discreet seat near the bar. Since he was short on money, he only ordered a lemonade.

When I took the blue transparent cup in my hand, the item information immediately appeared.

[Item: Lemonade]

[Description: Can restore 200 health points]

"Oh, I was working happily, but the world suddenly became like this. When will it end? My wife and children still haven't believed it, and I don't know if they are still alive..." The man sitting two seats away complained bitterly while drinking.

Ye Miao raised her eyes silently, only to see that the man had red eyes, an unshaven beard, and looked very weathered.

It seems that the end of the world has just begun.

Only then will everyone complain endlessly about the impending apocalypse, worrying about the safety of their loved ones. As time passes, everyone gradually becomes familiar with the environment and becomes numb to the apocalypse. And when loved ones are out of touch for too long, hope gradually fades.

Ye Miao was secretly analyzing the useful information when the iron door of the bar creaked again.

Old Hu, who was busy behind the bar, looked over and said, "Hey, Old Hu? I thought you weren't coming today."

"Of course I can come." The middle-aged man who walked in smiled bitterly, opened his backpack and put it on the bar. "Here, for today."

Ye Miao drank lemonade and glanced subconsciously, and the item information immediately appeared.

[Item: Yeast*25]

[Description: It seems to be able to be used as a raw material for something...]

Are you here to exchange resources?

The proprietress took out something she had prepared and handed it over. "Here, ten boxes of blood tonic, take a look. Hey, let me advise you, it's not a good idea to keep doing this. You should find a reliable healer, otherwise, if you can't get the medicine one day, you might die."

"I asked, but the therapist is too expensive." The man looked tired and shook his head helplessly. "All the money I had before has become worthless. Earning a few gold coins is harder than climbing to heaven. I'm just going to muddle along."

"It will be alright." The lady boss didn't want to persuade him any further, but kindly pushed a beer towards him and said, "Have a drink before you go."

"Thank you." The man, exhausted from the journey, took the glass and drank it in one gulp. The new wound on his neck was visible, and the proprietress was startled: "Why are you injured again?"

"Oh, well..." He rubbed the wound, "I had an adventure today, haha, let me tell you about it."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the proprietress, but also the surrounding customers all looked over. In the apocalypse, everyone was very depressed, and everyone wanted to hear about adventures to cheer them up.

Ye Miao also pricked up his ears, hoping to get some useful information.

The man took another sip of beer. "Didn't I pick up a bottle of blood tonic in Mingye Building yesterday? I thought I'd try my luck again today, but wow... I just got to the fifth floor when I saw a flash of golden light and out came a Pixiu!"

"Pixiu?!" The proprietress was stunned. "That lucky beast? What level is it?"

Hu Hao opened his palm: "Fifty."

Ye Miao raised her eyebrows, then realized belatedly that she had rushed forward because she heard the cry for help.

As a result, she was so surprised to catch the Pixiu that she didn't even bother to see who was calling for help.

"It chased me and beat me all the way! Look... this wound on my neck was scratched by it!" Hu Hao said vividly, not forgetting to show everyone the wound. "How could I beat it? I just wanted to accept my fate, hid behind the wall, sent a message to my wife to say goodbye, and prepared to die. But guess what happened -"

He deliberately kept the conversation a secret, and when he saw the expectant faces of the guests around him, he continued with satisfaction, "I waited for a long time with my eyes closed, but it didn't come. I looked behind the wall and—oh my god—there was a little girl holding it down and yelling at it, 'Don't move! If you move again, I'll beat you up!' It was a level 50 Pixiu, and it didn't dare to move with her pinching the back of its neck. What kind of violent little girl is this?!"

“…” Ye Miao looked at his own profile picture speechlessly.

She is a tall girl from the north, 170cm tall, and has always envied cute girls who are thin and petite. So when she registered for the game, she gave herself a loli face, a height of only 150cm, and tied her hair into two ponytails, to seriously experience the feeling of a little loli.

Unexpectedly, now she has become what others call a "violent loli".

Okay, she is the violent loli Benli.

"Is this a successful capture?!" The previously unshaven man, worried about his wife and children, was shocked. "A level 50 beast?!"

"Yeah." Hu Hao nodded. Amidst gasps of surprise, the guests began to whisper, "So what's the level of this guy's animal taming? At least 50, right? Animal taming is a support skill. Who can train a support skill to 50 these days? Could he have been a professional breeder?"

"I think 30 is okay, but any lower is not."

"What's the probability of successfully catching a level 50 beast at level 30? I'm so lucky."

The shock in the bar was overwhelming, and soon someone asked Hu Hao, "What happened next? You didn't add her as a friend after meeting such a powerful person? If she could kill that Night Demon, we could all sleep peacefully! Now I'm so nervous every night, and I have to run away at the slightest noise. I'm almost having a nervous breakdown."

"The Night Demon is clearly a big boss released by a crazy system to torture people. Even if he's level 50, he probably can't be killed. Besides, a high level of animal taming doesn't necessarily mean high combat skills." The person next to him refuted, but also said, "But even if you can't kill him, leaving contact information is helpful! Having a big shot on the list is always useful!"

"...I was so scared at that time that I couldn't react at all. By the time I came to my senses, everyone had gone far away." Hu Hao showed regret on his face and was very annoyed by his slow reaction.

After drinking the last two sips of wine, he pushed the glass back to the proprietress and said, "I'm going home now. See you tomorrow."

"Goodbye." The proprietress was also immersed in shock, and she said something in a trance after hearing this.

Seeing Hu Hao turn around and leave, Ye Miao thought for a moment, then stood up and quickly followed him out.

She had initially overlooked Hu Hao's existence, only thinking of going to the Sunset Bar to get information. Now that she had run into him again, she should be able to easily get a lot out of him based on the fact that he saved her life.

·

In the apocalypse, everyone's nerves became extremely sensitive. In addition, there were fewer monsters in the middle of the night, and hearing became more acute in the silence. Hu Hao soon realized that he was being followed.

Passing by an alley, he turned into it. Ye Miao followed without thinking, but just as he turned the corner, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a sharp blade was thrusting towards his forehead!

Ye Miao's superb agility enabled him to react quickly. He leaned back to avoid the attack, and the sharp knife passed by his face half an inch away.

The next second, Ye Miao acted in time. She grabbed Hu Hao's knife-wielding hand with her right hand and twisted it, sending the knife crashing to the ground amidst a scream. At the same instant, she reached for Hu Hao's neck with her left hand and pinned him against the wall.

"Big Boss!!!" Hu Hao's hair stood on end. Knowing his low combat effectiveness, he'd hoped to seize the initiative with a sneak attack, but he'd been easily defeated. He instantly collapsed, wailing, "Big Boss, let's talk! I'll give you whatever you want! My wife's waiting for me at home, please spare my life!!!"

Ye Miao raised her eyes and looked at him: "Don't you know me?"

"No... I don't know her..." Hu Hao looked at her timidly, subconsciously wondering if he had any enemies.

Ye Miao let go of him, casually reached into the backpack behind him, and took out a Pixiu. He yawned sleepily.

Hu Hao: “!!!”

"Do you know each other now?" Ye Miao asked.

Seeing Hu Hao nod stiffly, he said, "I want to ask you something. Is that convenient?"

"Well..." Hu Hao looked embarrassed. Fearing death, he glanced at the blood tonic in his hand and said, "My wife is injured and is waiting for medicine."

"Oh." Ye Miao said straightforwardly, "Then let's go to your house and talk."

It just so happened that she wanted to find a place to rest for free.

"?!" Hu Hao was nearly terrified. He had already witnessed the beast-taming abilities of the woman before him, and after their previous fight, it was clear that her fighting skills were far superior to his.

If he took her home... he suspected that she could crush both of them to death with one hand.

But he quickly calmed down, swallowed his saliva, and nodded: "Okay."

The sudden arrival of the apocalypse destroyed social order and plunged humanity back into an era of supreme violence. Ordinary people like them were destined to be cannon fodder, lucky to survive. If a high-level monster or a high-ranking boss targeted them, they would be unable to fight back.

Therefore, he could only take a gamble. He bet that the big boss in front of him had not lied to him, and would not suddenly snatch the resources after finding out everything.

If they win the bet, he and his wife might have a chance to hold on to this thigh.

Hu Hao thought so and walked ahead with a heroic spirit, leading the way.

Soon we reached the end of the alley. On the left was a small basketball court, once a place for recreation. But now the basketball hoop was crooked, the ground was cracked, and there was rubble everywhere. It had become a ruin.

A stained RV was parked on the basketball court. Hu Hao walked up and knocked on the door. "Wife."
