It seems the system really went all out this time. I thought it was just an ordinary gift pack, but it turned out to contain some really good stuff.
Let's look at another card: [Movement Speed Card, increases your movement speed by 40% for ten minutes after use].
Xiao Jin's eyes lit up. This is good stuff!
She's already quite fast, and with this speed-boosting card, she'll be even faster.
Xiao Jin put the card back into the system inventory with satisfaction. This newbie gift pack is really good. I suggest the system give out more in the future.
【drop!】
The familiar mechanical sound rang out, and the next game world began!
[World loading...]
[Mode: (Battle Royale) Zerg Invasion]
Main Quest: Survive the Zerg's pursuit for seven days. Side Quest: Kill Zerg. (Note: Higher levels yield more points.)
[WARNING: Players must conceal their identities and must not reveal game content to the native inhabitants. Violators will have points deducted.]
[The game has officially begun]
Here comes the new world model.
After understanding the requirements of this mission, Xiao Jin's expression gradually became serious.
This mission is completely different from the previous two worlds. The natural disaster mode has been transformed into a battle royale mode. Although it is still about hiding, it requires a certain level of combat strength.
No shortage of people will die in this world!
The countdown ended, and the surrounding protective shield disappeared. Xiao Jin had originally planned to follow her usual routine: gather supplies and information about local routes to pinpoint safe locations.
But the next second, a scream came from not far away from her ear.
"Ah! What's that?"
"Look! The sky has cracked open!"
Countless people craned their necks to look, and some even took out their phones to start a live broadcast.
Upon hearing what was being shouted, Xiao Jin suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the disturbance.
The sky seemed to have been cleaved open, revealing a dark space. A sharp, scythe-like limb slowly widened the gap, and then a large number of strange, insect-like creatures crawled out from it.
At this moment, everyone around stared in horror at the crack in front of them. Some people's phones simply slipped from their hands and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Everyone was terrified by what they saw on their faces. The insectoid creature that had crawled over approached the person in front. It was a creature the size of a football, and its shape was like an enlarged insect.
When it crawled to within a meter of the person's feet, it suddenly leaped up and pounced straight at the passerby. The tearing of flesh and screams rang out at the same time, and the piercing screams finally awakened everyone's consciousness.
"They're eating people! The bugs are eating people!"
"Run!!"
Everyone ran away as fast as they could, trying to get away from the crack, but what they didn't expect was that an identical crack appeared in the street next door.
Countless swarming insectoids launched a massive attack on humanity, sucking their blood and flesh and devouring their bodies.
"Damn it, how could it be so fast!"
Xiao Jin ran away as fast as she could the moment she saw the Zerg. She hadn't expected that the game world wouldn't even give them a chance to react before sending the Zerg into the fray.
Xiao Jin originally wanted to test the waters, but there were too many insectoids around the rift, and she also vaguely sensed a different aura inside. This aura was very powerful and even posed a slight threat to her.
Xiao Jin believed that this aura belonged to the owner of the scythe's limbs.
Not long after running out, Xiao Jin bumped into a group of people being chased by the insectoid race. They were running in the opposite direction from Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin immediately knew that this rift was not an isolated incident.
The long sword appeared in his hand in an instant.
"Help! Help!"
The man ran and shouted, glancing back every now and then at the distance between himself and the insect. At first, he was able to outrun it with his speed, but as time went on, he became exhausted. The insect seemed to have its sights set on him, ignoring everyone else around it.
Finally, the man couldn't run anymore and was pounced on by the insects behind him.
The insect hissed, raised its head to reveal a mouthpart full of sharp teeth, and bit down hard on the man's neck, easily tearing off a piece of flesh.
"Hehe~"
The man's voice, which sounded like a broken wind, produced an unpleasant noise. His eyes bulged out, and he raised one hand above his head, pinching the insect tightly with his fingertips, as if trying to push it away.
Even though his fingernails were torn off from the force, he still couldn't stop the other person from continuing to bite him. The man tremblingly stretched out his other hand forward, his fingers spread as if trying to grab something.
"Ugh~" With a muffled groan, the man's body twitched, his eyes gradually became unfocused, and his arm slammed heavily to the ground, where he remained motionless.
The sweet flesh and blood transformed into a scalding warm current that entered the insectoid's body. The insect on the man's back happily ate, but then its antennae suddenly twitched.
"Hiss~"
A shadow loomed over it, and as soon as the insect looked up, it saw a flash of cold light aimed directly at it.
'Whoosh!'
Green blood flowed from the wound that had split the insect in two, and the insect's corpse fell to the ground with a 'plop', completely silent.
[Kill a level 1 Zerg, +1 point]
Holding the knife in one hand, Xiao Jin slowly squatted down, then used her black leather-gloved hand to pry open the insect corpses with the long knife.
His gaze swept up and down.
No wonder it was so easy to kill; it was just a level 1 Zerg. Ordinary players can handle low-level Zerg as long as they don't panic.
One point at level one may seem small, but if you kill enough enemies, the accumulated points can be quite substantial.
With the points reward hanging in front of her, Xiao Jin immediately became motivated. Once she got serious, killing these level one insectoids was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
As he ran, Xiao Jin slashed down any insects he encountered.
[Points +1 +1 +1 +1...]
Xiao Jin's panel was flooded with messages. In just ten minutes, 40 points were easily credited to his account, and there were practically no traces of Zerg on the street anymore!
The desolate streets were littered with garbage and corpses, with pools of flesh and blood piled on the ground. Silence reigned; everyone was hidden, afraid that making a sound would attract insects.
Xiao Jin walked alone in the middle of the street, feeling a little thirsty. She went into the nearest small supermarket, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, drank half of the bottle, and then used the remaining water to wash the bloodstains off her gloves.
Even though Xiao Jin kept killing the Zerg, many people around him still lost their lives in this catastrophe, some even dying right before his eyes.
She will help if she can, but she won't force anyone if there's really no time.
However, this scene in Nancheng is just a small microcosm of the global situation.
