Chapter 1: The End of the World
"The manuscript of the mage's apprentice?"
Fang Bai looked at the worn notebook in his hand. The notebook had an imitation leather cover, and the few words scribbled on the cover looked like someone had doodled them.
The two words in the middle are really hard to see.
"It's probably a person's name."
Fang Bai muttered, judging from the contents, this looked like a notebook, but Fang Bai couldn't understand the words and symbols inside. He would feel dizzy after looking at it for a long time. It was a bit strange, which aroused Fang Bai's interest.
At this moment, Fang Bai was sorting out some old things in his home, and this notebook was just found.
Putting the notebook aside first, Fang Bai was about to continue packing up when suddenly his vision went dark and he fell to the ground unconscious. Before he passed out, he vaguely heard a mechanical sound, followed by some collision sounds.
"System deployment, data loading"
After that, Fang Bai completely lost consciousness.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Fang Bai woke up groggily, feeling sore all over. He was about to go to the hospital for a check-up when his attention was attracted by something that appeared in front of him.
"Properties Panel."
Fang Bai whispered softly.
What appeared before my eyes was like a transparent panel in a science fiction movie, with a few simple numbers displayed on it.
"Level: 0."
"Strength: 6."
"Constitution: 5."
"Agility: 4."
"Spiritual power: 8."
"What does this mean? A game board?"
Fang Bai immediately recalled the mechanical and collision sounds he heard before he fainted.
"If the mechanical sound is the source of this panel, then the collision sound."
Fang Bai remembered something and walked to the window and looked down.
Fang Bai's house is on the ninth floor, which is the top floor. Because the top floor is given as a gift, the unit price of the house when it was purchased was second only to the first floor with a courtyard.
Fang Bai stood by the window and looked down, only to see several cars rear-ending each other on the road outside the community. Fortunately, it was in the city, the speed was not fast, and the damage to the vehicles was not serious.
Obviously, the collision sound just now was caused by a car accident.
"So, I wasn't the only one who was unconscious just now, and it wasn't caused by my body, but it was a large-scale incident?"
While Fang Bai was thinking, he was suddenly stunned and looked down.
"A fight started already?"
I saw the two car owners below wrestling with each other, biting, biting, biting. "Huh?!"
Fang Bai felt something was wrong and his eyes widened. On the ninth floor, Fang Bai couldn't see clearly enough. He immediately took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera function, and magnified the image. However, after seeing it clearly, Fang Bai's pupils shrank.
"Zombies?!"
Fang Bai looked at the screen where a pale, shriveled, hideous and terrifying zombie was biting the flesh of another driver one bite after another.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Fang Bai always felt that the muscles on the zombie's face and body gradually became fuller during the devouring process.
The driver howled miserably. The severe pain made him hit the zombie's neck frantically. After a dozen hits, the zombie with a broken spine was pushed to the ground. His body could not move, only his mouth kept opening and closing.
The driver, covered in blood, was knocked to the ground by three or four zombies before he could even rejoice. A few minutes later, the zombies got up and wandered on the road, leaving only a bloody skeleton.
Such scenes happened in every corner inside and outside the community. Fang Bai looked around and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in terror.
Looking at the corpses that had been eaten clean, Fang Bai felt a chill in his heart.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"roar!"
The sudden banging on the door and yelling made Fang Bai tremble all over, and he turned his head sharply to look at the door.
"roar!"
The sound of banging on the door continued. Fang Bai was stunned. The next moment, the nervous Fang Bai forced himself to calm down.
"There was a zombie at my door and it spotted me."
"But zombies can't break open security doors."
Fang Bai was stunned, then suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and slumped down on the ground.
"Oh, I see. That's all right then."
Fang Bai, feeling much more relaxed, picked up his phone and took a look. It was twelve-thirty and the network was running normally.
Entering the chat software page, many group members were posting the photos of zombies they had taken in various group chats. Netizens from all over the country made Fang Bai instantly understand that people all over the country, not just the world, had turned into zombies.
The end of the world is coming!
This couldn't help but make Fang Bai feel a little depressed.
After a moment's silence, Fang Bai put away his phone. Now was not the time to play with his phone as the zombies at the door were still knocking. The only thing to be thankful for was that although the security door was not burglarproof, it could still protect against zombies.
"But I still have to find a way to kill this zombie, otherwise it can't get in and I can't get out."
Fang Bai immediately started searching at home, but unfortunately Fang Bai neither practiced martial arts nor collected cold weapons, so he only found a kitchen knife and a fruit knife at home.
One of the kitchen knives was from Zhang Xiaoquan, and the other was a fruit knife, also from Zhang Xiaoquan, and was no more than 20 centimeters long.
Fang Bai looked at the two knives and found a wooden mop handle.
Theoretically speaking, a fruit knife can be fixed to a mop handle using tools such as ropes and wires to form a simple spear.
But if you don't have professional skills and the fruit knife is not fixed firmly, then the fun will be great.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Bai decided to throw the fruit knife aside, picked up the kitchen knife and started chopping directly at one end of the mop rod.
Half an hour later, Fang Bai put the chopped and sharpened mop handle on the fire to roast. Only after the sharp part was slightly carbonized did Fang Bai turn off the stove.
"Light carbonization should be effective in increasing the hardness of the wood."
Fang Bai hesitated for a moment.
"I guess so?"
Fang Bai shook his head, put the finished wooden spear aside, and started searching in the room again.
Although the weapons were ready, they were secondary. As an adult, he could knock the zombie's head open even with the leg of a stool, but Fang Bai would surely die if he was touched by a zombie.
Zombies are contagious! This was told to Fang Bai by a dead person who had turned into a zombie downstairs during the manufacture of the wooden spear. The driver who had been eaten clean had turned into a zombie. Although he was still lying on the ground unable to move, he was indeed a zombie.
Therefore, zombies can make mistakes ten or a hundred times, but Fang Bai cannot make a mistake even once.
Mistakes mean death.
Defense is more important than offense.
So this time Fang Bai found a raincoat and a pile of textbooks.
Theoretically, a book 0.5 cm thick can completely block any attack from zombies.
Half an hour later, Fang Bai, who was wearing a paper armor raincoat, put on a thick military coat, put on a pair of plastic rain boots, and clumsily pushed a cabinet to the door.
The zombies at the door became manic again after hearing the noise, and they started to bang on the door frantically while roaring.
Fang Bai, who was standing at the door, put on the mask and sunglasses placed aside, held the spear, and took a long breath.
The fear in his heart seemed to have disappeared completely. Fang Bai placed his gloved left hand on the door handle and pressed it down. The door opened, and instantly, a zombie rushed in.
"roar!"
