Yuan Chuyi slowly opened her eyes! A stunningly beautiful face appeared before her, with an oval face, big eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and cherry lips.
Still not fully awake, Yuan Chuyi suddenly sat up. "Ugh... my head hurts so much. Where am I?" The woman next to her looked so familiar. "Right, wasn't I dead?"
What Yuan Chuyi didn't notice was that the woman next to him also sat up, still half asleep.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, and the two looked at each other. A scream of 100 decibels rang in Yuan Chuyi's ear, followed by a "smack!"
Yuan Chuyi received a hard slap to her left cheek. The woman instinctively looked down, followed by another 100-decibel scream, "Ah..."
Yuan Chu saw a small hand rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes, "Slap!" He received another slap on his right cheek.
Before Yuan Chuyi could even react to what was happening, a notification sounded in her mind: "Ding dong, the game manifestation system has been successfully activated!"
Yuan Chuyi was somewhat dazed, trying hard to recall everything that had happened.
He was indeed dead, surrounded by zombies.
Then he looked around at the surroundings and the angry woman beside him. At that moment, Yuan Chuyi seemed to know something and was extremely excited.
I give thanks to the heavens, to the earth, to the Buddha, and to God.
After the initial excitement, Yuan Chuyi thought to herself, "Could it be that the first day of my rebirth will be greeted with two slaps and a system?"
What? The system, it's the system!
Just as Yuan Chuyi was overjoyed, a woman beside her shouted angrily, "Yuan Chuyi, how dare you!"
Yuan Chu turned around and looked at the angry woman, and subconsciously said, "President Tang?"
It was this one word, "President Tang," that brought Yuan Chuyi back to her senses.
This is three days before the end of the world.
I remember the night before, the company held a banquet to celebrate exceeding its performance targets for the first half of the year!
In my previous life, I had drunk too much and went back to my room to sleep first.
Mr. Tang's room is 1222, and mine is 1202. I happened to have left my door unlocked, and Mr. Tang, who had drunk too much and whose eyesight was a bit blurry, mistakenly entered my room.
When I woke up in the morning, Mr. Tang shouted, which attracted the attention of my colleagues. As a result, someone called the police, and I ended up being taken to the police station for three days! It almost killed me in the early days of the apocalypse.
This life absolutely cannot be like the last one. Thinking of this, Yuan Chu looked at the fruit knife on the coffee table.
He ran over, grabbed a fruit knife, and turned to charge at President Tang.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, because of the time constraints, I can't explain it to you in detail."
Yuan Chuyi held a knife to President Tang's neck and said quickly, "If anyone knocks on the door, just say that a cockroach crawled out of the sewer while you were taking a shower, that's why you called out."
If they ask if you need anyone to accompany you, just say no, you drank too much yesterday and need to sleep a little longer. Tell them to get up and go to work quickly; you won't be going today.
Yuan Chuyi forcefully gestured across President Tang's neck and asked, "Did you understand?"
With a look of horror on his face, President Tang looked at Yuan Chuyi in disbelief and nodded!
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock! Mr. Tang, is that you? Mr. Tang, what's wrong?"
Yuan Chuyi held a knife to Tang Zong's neck with one hand, and with the other hand pulled Tang Zong off the bed and dragged him to the door, giving Tang Zong a wink.
Mr. Tang feigned composure and said, "Oh, it's me. I'm fine. A cockroach crawled out of the drain while I was showering, and it gave me a fright."
Then the woman outside the door asked again, "Mr. Tang, would you like someone to accompany you?"
"No need, I drank a bit too much yesterday, I want to sleep a little longer. You guys go to work after you get up! I won't go today!"
"Alright, Mr. Tang, we'll pack up and head to work."
"Okay! You guys go ahead, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
As Yuan Chuyi listened to the people outside the door gradually walking away, she subconsciously glanced over and noticed that President Tang had slept naked last night!
Yuan Chuyi scratched his head awkwardly, wondering why he hadn't noticed in his previous life that President Tang slept naked!
Mr. Tang asked cautiously, "Yuan Chuyi, may I put on some clothes?"
At Yuan Chuyi's prompting glance, President Tang put on her clothes with composure, as if she had returned to her image as a strong woman who remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.
After getting dressed, President Tang looked into Yuan Chuyi's eyes and said, "Yuan Chuyi, how have I usually treated you?"
Yuan Chuyi interrupted, "President Tang, I think you've misunderstood. I don't know how to explain it right now."
I genuinely meant you no harm! You should think about it carefully; you went into the wrong room yesterday.
Mr. Tang reached into her suit pocket with a puzzled look, took out the room card and looked at the number 1222. At the same time, he recalled that he didn't seem to have used the room card to open the door last night. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
But just as his complexion had improved, President Tang said, "I went into the wrong room. Couldn't you have talked to me properly? You had to put a knife to my throat and drag me off the bed."
Looking at President Tang's slightly flushed face, Yuan Chuyi thought to herself, "Can I say that in my past life I was just speaking properly, but the colleague who barged in ended up taking me to the police station, almost causing me to die there in the early stages of the apocalypse?"
Yuan Chuyi looked at President Tang and said, "President Tang, there are many things I really can't explain to you right now! Perhaps you'll understand naturally in a few days."
Yuan Chuyi walked to the door and looked out through the peephole, then calculated the time.
I thought to myself that my colleagues should all have left by now.
Then he looked at President Tang and said, "Starting today, I will no longer go to work at the company."
Mr. Tang asked in confusion, "Are you going to resign?"
But I didn't mean to fire you. You need to understand, it was me who was exposed, so why are you acting like you've suffered some great injustice?
"You even offered to resign! But let me tell you, I don't agree to your resignation. As for what happened today, just keep it to yourself."
Yuan Chuyi said to President Tang, "I really won't go to work at the company anymore. Don't ask me why, President Tang. It's definitely not because of what happened today."
Looking into Mr. Tang's eyes and thinking about how he had always taken care of her, she finally said, "Mr. Tang, I've been working in your company since I graduated from university. I know how good you've been to me these past two years."
That's why you can choose not to believe what I'm about to say, but please don't tell anyone, okay?
Yuan Chuyi pretended to be thinking and said, "My best brother in college went to work for a mysterious department right after graduation."
We've kept in touch for the past few years since graduation, and just last night at the dinner party, I received a call from him.
He told me with certainty that there would be a heavy rain starting on September 3rd, and he told me to prepare plenty of food, drink, and weapons.
When I tried to ask him why, he had already hung up. So I quickly called back, only to hear that the number you dialed was switched off.
As for why he suddenly said these strange things to me, I think he must have a reason.
Based on my understanding of him, he is definitely not the kind of person who would make such a joke.
I'd rather believe him. As for whether you, Mr. Tang, believe me or not, that's up to you.
At this moment, President Tang was thinking to himself, "Yuan Chuyi is usually a very composed person. Is he implying something to me by saying this?"
But just as she was about to ask more questions, she discovered that Yuan Chuyi had disappeared from the room.
As Yuan Chuyi stepped out of the room, she thought to herself...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, the world is a dangerous place. That's all I can tell you. Whether you believe me or not is up to you."
Looking at the bustling street, Yuan Chuyi took a deep breath, then waved and hailed a taxi back to her rented room.
Yuan Chuyi, who had just returned to his residence, calmed himself down.
My first thought was, "System, system, are you there?"
A cartoon voice suddenly appeared in my mind: "Game Manifestation System 1.0 is at your service. What do you need, host?"
Yuan Chuyi thought to himself, "I knew I wasn't wrong, it really is the system."
So he quietly asked, "System, what specific functions do you have, and how do I use them?"
A cartoon voice rang in Yuan Chuyi's mind: "This system can materialize familiar game items into reality, but you can only choose one development path! Would you like to choose a path now?"
After considering it for a moment, Yuan Chuyi thought to himself:
"I choose..."
"Ding dong, Magic Game or Science Game. Once selected, it cannot be changed!"
Yuan Chuyi thought to himself, "Is this a game I'm quite familiar with?"
Then he remembered an online game he had played with some roommates in college, which was probably a magic-themed game.
Yuan Chuyi said to the system in his mind, "I choose magic games."
"Ding-dong! Selection successful! Please receive the newbie gift pack!"
Yuan Chu opened the gift pack: a wooden sword for newcomers, a 5-cubic-meter space backpack, 3,000 gold coins, and one choice of a technology item. You can also choose one more technology item!
When opened, it reveals a solar-powered electromagnetic gun, 0.3 meters long and weighing 150 grams! Powered by solar energy and a crystal core, it effectively strikes enemies without worrying about running out of ammunition!
The second is a small base vehicle, 5.99 meters long, 2.35 meters wide, and weighing 4 tons. Powered by solar energy and a crystal core, it can unfold into a small fortress when not in motion, effectively defending against basic attacks.
The third is a small mech that can change size according to the host's body, weighs 5 kilograms, is powered by solar energy and crystal, and can fly within the atmosphere!
Yuan Chu asked the system in his mind, "Can I choose all of them?"
The system's cold voice echoed in my mind: "No, you can only choose one. Please choose carefully, as the choice cannot be changed afterward."
Yuan Chuyi recalled in her mind that in her previous life, she was adventuring alone in a post-apocalyptic world. But in the end, she was still tricked and killed by others.
After being reborn, Yuan Chuyi knew that one person's strength was too weak to navigate the apocalypse alone, and if he was not careful, he would be completely overwhelmed by other teams.
However, there are too many conflicts and backstabbing in the large base. If a zombie siege occurs, they will just be cannon fodder sent to their deaths.
After much deliberation, Yuan Chu made up his mind: in this life, I will build my own team.
The best option for early-game development is the small mobile base vehicle! It's mobile and defensive, making it extremely important in the early stages.
