Chapter 3: Sub-Legendary Weapons

Chiyou sat on the toilet, turned on his phone, looked at the mall map he had just taken on the first floor, and planned his departure route.

The mall was overcrowded with people. In his previous life, he only came to the shopping mall to look for supplies after he was promoted to level 7.

If he were surrounded by zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, even if he could easily kill them with a sub-legendary weapon, he would be exhausted to death if there were too many of them.

"If the point is to escape..."

Chiyou looked at the two escape exits of the mall.

There is a staircase escape exit on the left and right sides of the mall. The staircase on the left leads to the first floor, while the staircase on the right leads directly to the underground parking lot.

The flow of people in the shopping mall is not limited to the mall itself, the flow of people in the square outside is even more terrifying.

Take the stairs on the right to the underground parking lot, bypass the most crowded area, and leave the shopping mall that looks no different from the early days of the apocalypse and a meat grinder.

This is the best route.

Chiyou looked at the time and saw that there were only five minutes left.

He unlocked the door and was about to push it open to see what was going on outside.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom, and from the sound it was determined that there were two people.

Chiyou gently opened the door, leaving only a crack. A few seconds later, a man and a woman walked in stealthily.

Um?

Chiyou was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

The end of the world is coming soon. Those two look guilty and thieves. I don’t know what they are going to do. Stop interfering with him getting the treasure chest.

The two of them looked around, focusing on the status of the door locks of several compartments. After confirming that no one was inside, they rushed into the outermost compartment. After a rustling sound, there was an indescribable sound.

“So that’s how it is.”

Chiyou, who finally reacted, was speechless and held his face with his hand.

Blame him too.

In the last days, things between men and women are so common that there is no need to be sneaky. He thought the two were going to do something else.

Chiyou pushed the door a little further out. Time passed by minute by minute, and during this time no one else came in.

The moment when the time on the phone jumped from 11:59 to 12:00.

A dazzling light bloomed before Chiyou's eyes, and a small black treasure chest emerged in the light. It was square and about the size of a small safe. The six sides of the treasure chest were carved with faces of different demons, and the box was shining with a mixture of black and white light.

There is no doubt that this is a sub-legendary treasure chest.

The next moment, a prompt box popped up about the advent of the apocalyptic game. Chiyou was in no mood to watch it, so he simply stepped aside and listened attentively to the movements in the side compartment.

In less than three seconds, a man's scream of pain was heard from next door. At the same time, the howling of ghosts and wolves broke out outside the mall.

Chiyou slowly closed the door, held his breath, and did not move.

After more than ten seconds, the man's wailing stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, a pool of blood flowed into Chiyou's compartment, and a horrifying chewing sound was heard from the next room.

Zombies love the human brain.

Chiyou had already imagined the scene inside: the woman who had transformed into a zombie would use her powerful nails to open the man's skull, and would roar while gnawing at the brain and nearby skull.

Chiyou held his breath, as silent as a stone sculpture. It wouldn't take long for the zombies to gnaw on a brain. After eating the food, the zombies would be attracted by the screams outside.

As Chiyou expected, after a while, he heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of footsteps.

When he could no longer hear the footsteps, Chiyou finally let out a long sigh and pushed open the compartment door.

In addition to the treasure chest, what caught the eye was a bloody footprint extending all the way from the inside of the compartment to the outside. Chiyou glanced at the man in the compartment. Not only was his head forcibly opened, but his lower body was also a mess of blood and flesh.

When he was doing this, his girlfriend turned into a zombie. If men could be reborn with their memories, wouldn't they be frightened and paralyzed for the rest of their lives by the psychological shadow?

When the man and the woman entered the cubicle, Chi You knew that there was a possibility that they would turn into zombies, but he couldn't kick them out of the bathroom before then. There were still five minutes before the end of the world. If he showed up and got entangled, and attracted more people, he would be doomed.

There is no need for him to stand out.

There are only three possibilities for the two people: neither of them turns into zombies, both turn into zombies, or one turns into a zombie and the other does not.

If neither of them had turned into zombies, they would definitely be attracted to the treasure chest, and Chi You would have easily killed them both.

The remaining two options are irrelevant. If the space is closed, Chiyou’s safety will still be threatened, but with the screams outside coming one after another, the zombies will definitely be led out directly.

Chiyou walked forward and opened the treasure chest. It was an unlocked treasure chest, so there was no need to wait for time or have unlocking skills. With just a click, the box opened.

There were three cards lying quietly inside.

Chiyou took out the card, and the box turned into light particles and disappeared.

Chiyou looked at the card's attributes.

Just like in the previous life, the weapons and attributes in the treasure chest have not changed at all.

Miao Dao Bingyu.

The weapon that Chiyou used until his death in his previous life, although its grade is sub-legendary, but after three evolutions, its attributes are not weaker than legendary weapons, and it can also unlock a series of tasks for the set. After collecting all the sets, a set of sub-legendary equipment is comparable to legendary equipment with individual parts.

Of course, it's not that Chiyou is so lucky that he can get such a good weapon. All of this is actually a wedding dress made for the protagonist.

After his death, the weapon naturally fell into the hands of the protagonist and became his favorite weapon until he obtained a divine weapon with stronger properties. The Ice Jade was given by the protagonist to one of his concubines.

In his previous life, Chiyou was just a standard stepping stone, training the protagonist, then providing resources, weapons, subordinates, and finally his life.

Chi You tore open the card, a cold breath swept around him, and he reached out and pulled out a long knife from the ball of light.

It is 1.6 meters long, with a blue crystal inlaid on the dark gold handle. When the silver-blue scabbard is removed, a layer of frost is exposed, revealing the blade that exudes an astonishingly cold aura.

"Hello again, old friend."

Chiyou chuckled and looked at the remaining two cards.

Just like in the previous life, what was left was a skill book and a piece of jewelry equipment.
