Chapter 98 (The End) He's Back
A thin card appeared in my hand, its edges reflecting a cold light.
Fang Zhiyi held her breath and held it carefully.
[Should I use the pass?]
[Once used, you will not be able to return to the post-apocalyptic world. Please use with caution.]
【whether】
Seeing the notification pop up, Fang Zhiyi didn't choose to use it. Instead, he opened the channel page and found Chu Zhao's avatar.
After carefully considering his words, he drafted a message and sent it out.
[fzy: I've already redeemed the completion ticket]
Chu Zhao's profile picture jumped up and down, without saying much, just a simple line of text.
[Chu Zhao: Don't wait for me]
Fang Zhiyi gripped the pass tightly; a faint rut appeared on it.
[Chu Zhao: I will come to find you]
After sending the message, Chu Zhao's avatar flashed, indicating that he was immediately entering a new world of survival.
Everyone has their own path to walk.
He and Chu Zhao will not become a burden to each other.
Fang Zhiyi took a deep breath and finally pressed the "Yes" button heavily.
[Pass has been used]
A white light flashed, suddenly enlarged, enveloped his entire body, and finally disappeared into the white light.
When Fang Zhiyi opened his eyes again, his body swayed, and he found himself in front of the shelves of a fresh food supermarket.
Before he could even see clearly, the shelf suddenly shook violently, and the goods on it fell down with a crash, hitting him on the head.
Fang Zhiyi reached out and blocked it.
Not only were the shelves swaying, but the overhead ceiling fan was also shaking wildly, the incandescent lights were flickering, and the ceiling and floor were spinning and flipping.
An earthquake struck!
Fang Zhiyi reacted immediately, and despite the shaking and vibration, rushed towards the exit.
There is a fresh food supermarket that is a 200㎡ community fresh food supermarket located on the ground floor of the shops at the entrance of the community.
As soon as Fang Zhiyi rushed out of the supermarket, she saw that many residents had also gathered at the entrance.
It's already 11 p.m., and all the shops along the street are closed. The sky is dark and gloomy, with a deep red hue spreading across the horizon, bringing an ominous feeling.
Most of the residents were wearing home clothes, and some were even pulled out of bed with messy hair and still looking shaken.
"I didn't even bring my glasses."
"My phone, where's my phone?"
"Hey! I still have tens of thousands of yuan in cash at home!"
"As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. The internet says that a 6.5 magnitude earthquake was predicted to happen here, and we should all stay in open areas and not move around unnecessarily."
Upon hearing this, the people who had just been clamoring to go home immediately fell silent.
A cold night wind blew by, making one shiver involuntarily.
"If we don't go back, are we just going to stand here doing nothing?"
The residents looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fang Zhiyi remained silent, blending into the crowd.
He remembered that after completing the Cave Survival World, the game had displayed a notification that the Doomsday Factor Earthquake had been eliminated.
If the doomsday factor of earthquakes has been eliminated, then the next magnitude 6.5 earthquake should not occur.
He did nothing, just waited quietly.
After waiting for about an hour, the earthquake didn't happen; instead, community workers arrived first.
The staff brought a truckload of supplies, including tents, cotton-padded clothes, quilts... and even instant noodles in buckets. They used a megaphone to say, "Don't rush, line up one by one to get the supplies. Each family should send a representative to collect the tents. Everyone should rest in the open space tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
With someone in charge, the restless people gradually calmed down, and the lines formed in an orderly fashion. Although some disputes arose, they were quickly resolved.
"Young man, why aren't you going to collect the supplies?"
Fang Zhiyi looked up and met the concerned face of the community worker. "I've seen you standing here alone for a long time."
Fang Zhiyi casually made up a reason: "I'm all alone, and I'm still young, so I should give the supplies to those who need them more."
As soon as he finished speaking, the community worker showed a relieved expression and gave Fang Zhiyi a thumbs up: "Well done! I see you don't have anything to do, why don't you come and help us move the supplies?"
Fang Zhiyi: "..."
OK.
Since he had nothing else to do while standing, he joined the community workers in carrying things.
After graduation, Fang Zhiyi had been neglecting exercise. The most she did on weekdays was sorting goods in the supermarket. Logically speaking, she should be out of breath after carrying only a few things. But today, for some reason, she seemed to have endless energy. She carried box after box without getting tired.
Bang!
Another box of supplies was placed on the ground.
Fang Zhiyi twisted his wrist and felt that he was much stronger than before. It dawned on him: could the boost he gained in the survival game be useful in the real world?
It's worth noting that he significantly boosted his stamina, speed, and strength in the survival world. If he were to be brought into the real world, his physical abilities would likely be far superior to those of the average person.
To verify this, Fang Zhiyi didn't even take a breath before emptying the van of all its supplies.
The community worker's eyes widened: "That's enough, that's enough, take a rest." He was afraid that Fang Zhiyi would get too tired, so he pressed her down into a chair to rest and thoughtfully handed her a bottle of mineral water, "Sit down, I'll make you a bowl of instant noodles."
Fang Zhiyi wasn't tired, but she was actually a little hungry. She nodded and obediently sat down in the chair to wait.
Community workers quickly brought back a bucket of instant noodles.
Fang Zhiyi took one look and saw that it was braised beef noodles. The soup was bright red and fragrant, with dried vegetables floating on top. Steam rose from the top, and he couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
He slurped down the entire bowl of noodles and soup, wiped his mouth, and asked the person next to him, "What time is it?"
"It's 1 o'clock." The person being asked turned around. "Didn't you bring your phone?"
Fang Zhiyi subconsciously reached into his pocket and actually found a cell phone.
There's no way around it; I've been in the survival world for too long and have gotten used to life without a cell phone.
He smiled at the person, picked up his phone and unlocked it. The date on the screen was still before he entered the survival game. Even though he had been in the survival game for so long, time in the real world was still frozen.
Scrolling through my phone, I saw that, thanks to big data analytics, social media was filled with discussions about the earthquake that happened tonight.
#Alert, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake is approaching.
#Safety Tip: Stay away from dangerous buildings; personal safety comes first.
#Mom, why is my bed shaking?
#Was there an earthquake? I didn't feel anything.
...
Fang Zhiyi scrolled through a few messages when a different message suddenly appeared on the screen.
Has anyone else been dragged into a post-apocalyptic survival game like me? #Earthquake #Magnitude6.5Earthquake
He paused, then clicked on it.
It seems they're capitalizing on the earthquake's popularity, as there are quite a few comments below.
Your first task is to uninstall the JJ Novels app.
[Are you engrossed in reading the novel?]
Can you please stop wasting public resources by spouting nonsense here?
I'm not making this up; I really was pulled into a post-apocalyptic survival game, but I failed to complete it and was eliminated. I thought I would die if I was eliminated, but I never expected to return to the real world.
The game told me that I was supposed to die in this magnitude 6.5 earthquake, but someone completed the game and eliminated the apocalyptic factor, so I survived even though I was eliminated.
I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to thank the person who beat the game.
Fang Zhiyi smiled as the light from her phone reflected on her face, then swiped away.
The night passed quickly.
Some people slept soundly in their tents, carefree, while others tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, worried that an earthquake might strike at any moment. Fang Zhiyi sat in a chair all night, but ultimately, the 6.5 magnitude earthquake did not come.
It seems the doomsday factor has truly been eliminated.
Fang Zhiyi stood up.
The community worker, who had also been dozing in his chair, groggily opened his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Fang Zhiyi didn't speak, but simply waved to the person behind him.
The community workers strained to open their eyes.
A ray of morning light danced on his shoulder as he walked with his back to the light, making him appear exceptionally tall.
The streets were unusually quiet in the early morning.
Fang Zhiyi stepped on a fallen leaf, which made a crunching sound, and continued forward. Before her eyes came wisps of smoke rising from a breakfast shop as it opened, the figures of sanitation workers sweeping the ground, and the roar of car engines as they drove across the road...
Countless cacophonies intertwined, creating a grand spectacle of human activity.
Fang Zhiyi took a deep breath, the clear air flowing from her nose into her lungs, a feeling that was both refreshing and invigorating.
very nice.
He's back.
