Lu Li walked through the empty corridor, constantly looking around.
More than four hours had passed since the apocalypse, and there were no longer any students moving alone in the school.
Most people chose to huddle together for warmth, cowering in classrooms, waiting for rescue.
However, they would soon learn that rescue would not come.
When the apocalypse arrived, everyone awakened different innate abilities.
The original social order and organizational structure might barely hold, but it definitely wouldn't last long.
No one could refuse to become stronger.
So when an opportunity for a major reshuffle arrived, chaos was bound to happen sooner or later.
“Lu Li.”
A shout came from the corner, making Lu Li pause.
Ying Zi'an emerged from the shadows, a smile on his face.
His normally friendly expression, coupled with the blood covering most of his body, made him look somewhat sinister.
“Why are you out alone? Where are Xu Xiao and the others?”
“Oh, I didn't join Xu Xiao's team, so they naturally wouldn't act with me.”
Lu Li's expression was calm.
“Didn't join Xu Xiao's team?” Ying Zi'an seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face grew wider:
“Then aren't you afraid of danger by coming out alone? There are monsters everywhere now, and a player like you, without the ability to protect himself, is in a rather precarious situation…”
“But you're here.”
Lu Li also smiled, a very sincere smile.
His experiences in his previous life made his disguise impeccable.
“Me?” Ying Zi'an was startled, and the Claws he was about to use for a sneak attack were subtly retracted.
“That's right.” Lu Li nodded: “Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with me? So I specifically came out to find you.”
“I see.”
Ying Zi'an chuckled softly, extending his hand towards Lu Li:
“Cooperation is fine, but you have to show the same sincerity as before.”
“A second-order yuan crystal?” Lu Li deliberately showed a difficult expression: “I don't have any left.”
“Stop pretending!”
Ying Zi'an suddenly dropped the smile from his face, becoming incredibly fierce.
He grabbed Lu Li's collar and said aggressively:
“Don't think I don't know that bitch Xu Xiao gave you both yuan crystals, hand them over quickly! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!”
“No, no, no, I'll get them out now.”
Lu Li feigned fear, trembling as he took out the yuan crystal he had already prepared.
Ying Zi'an was overjoyed at the sight, snatched the yuan crystal, and absorbed it completely.
The addition of 40 experience points instantly raised Ying Zi'an two levels, making him a Lv.2 player.
“Detected that player Ying Zi'an has become the first player in the world to reach Lv.2. Do you want to make a global announcement immediately? Yes/No.”
“Note: After a global announcement, you will receive two Black Iron-tier upgrade treasure chests. Forfeiting the announcement is considered forfeiting the reward.”
“Announce immediately!”
Two completely black treasure chests appeared out of thin air.
Ying Zi'an felt his attributes increase, his face filled with an uncontrollable smile.
His guess was correct!
The awakened talent tier didn't mean anything; only absorbing high-tier yuan crystals and increasing one's level was the true path!
As long as he maintained the top level and continuously obtained upgrade treasure chests, his strength would grow like a snowball!
Lu Li calmly watched Ying Zi'an laughing wildly, then looked down at the watch on his wrist.
Eleven fifty.
Ten more minutes.
At twelve o'clock on the first day of the apocalypse, the Level Ranking would appear.
At that time, the top one hundred players on the Level Ranking would be completely exposed to everyone's view!
At the same time, the Over-Level Kill mechanism would also appear.
As long as someone could Over-Level Kill a player on the Level Ranking, they would receive a Slaughter Treasure Chest!
In the early stages of the apocalypse, Slaughter Treasure Chests were one of the few ways to obtain mythical items!
Rogue players like Ying Zi'an, without any faction background, would undoubtedly be seen as ripe meat by those powerful factions.
However, Ying Zi'an was completely unaware of this.
He simply commanded arrogantly:
“Lu Li, find a safe place, I want to open my treasure chests!”
In Ying Zi'an's eyes, Lu Li, who had awakened the Scouting ability, was no different from an ant.
This kind of useless scum, if he wanted to, he could crush him with a finger anytime, anywhere!
So Ying Zi'an had no defenses against Lu Li at all.
Lu Li also showed no resistance.
He didn't even hesitate, his face beaming with an approving smile:
“Let's go to the multimedia classroom, no one's there, it's probably the safest.”
The two walked side by side towards the multimedia classroom, unaware that a gaze had been fixed on them from behind... Meanwhile, a clearly reinforced Humvee slammed into the school gate.
The loud noise startled the person hiding in the guard room.
“Old Li, what's going on outside? Did a monster come?”
A middle-aged woman in her forties huddled in the corner, staring at the guard room door with terror in her eyes.
He Peiqin, a Chinese language teacher at No. 1 Middle School.
She had intended to stand at the door to catch late students, but the apocalypse arrived, and she was trapped in the guard room by a Blade Arm Mantis.
Although the mantis monster, which had slaughtered three students, had left an hour ago, the blood outside still made the teacher afraid to open the door.
How could students' lives be more important than her own!
Besides, since people were dead, the safest way was to stay in the guard room and wait for the police.
“I don't know, Teacher He, such a loud noise, could it be another powerful monster has arrived…”
Old Li, dressed in a security uniform, muttered, carefully approaching the door with a riot fork in hand.
Before Old Li could get close, there was a loud bang as the door was kicked open!
“Oh my goodness!”
The sudden sound nearly gave Old Li a heart attack; he quickly retreated two steps and looked out of the guard room window.
There was no monster outside, but rather a bald man with a scarred face.
“Is it a person?” Old Li was a little surprised.
“Open the door, I need to ask something.”
The scarred bald man withdrew his gaze from a nearby corpse and turned to look at the window.
The moment their eyes met, the half-century-old security guard shivered again.
“Old Li, it's a monster outside! Don't open the door, whatever you do…”
He Peiqin, huddled in the corner, said tremblingly.
“Bang!”
Another kick to the door came, and the scarred man outside seemed to have lost patience.
“Open the door quickly! I just need to ask something!”
Old Li subconsciously reached for the door, but found his clothes being held tightly by Teacher He.
“Don't open it, Old Li! If you open it, we're dead!”
“But Teacher He, I think it looks like a person. Maybe it's rescue…”
Just as Old Li was about to explain, the guard room door was kicked open with a ‘bang’.
“Damn it, dawdling, wasting my time!”
A Hao grumbled discontentedly, the expression on his face growing fiercer with the prominent scar.
“What do you want?!”
Teacher He, seeing that it wasn't a monster that had broken in, suddenly felt a bit more confident and demanded in a shrill voice:
“This is a school! If you act so recklessly, do you believe I won't call the police to arrest you?!”
A Hao ignored Teacher He, only looking at Old Li, who was sitting on the ground.
“Old man, I'm looking for a person named Zhao Hui, do you know where he is?”
Because the global announcement could only display approximate coordinates and not a specific location.
So A Hao only knew that the person Jin Ge was looking for was in No. 1 Middle School.
“Zhao, Zhao Hui? Is he a student?”
Old Li was startled, instinctively asking back.
“Could also be a teacher.”
A Hao's tone softened slightly when he saw that the other party seemed to understand the situation.
However, before he could continue asking, Teacher He on the side shrieked again.
“Hey! I'm talking to you! You look like a hooligan, not a good person. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly, don't wait until the police come and you regret it!”
A Hao frowned, reaching for his waist.
Teacher He was about to continue yelling, but found that a dark muzzle had appeared in front of her.
“You're really noisy…”
