Chapter 6: One Month Later: The Arrival Of The Green Poison Disaster
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
After dealing with the zombies who came looking for death, Stark instructed Luciana to devour the zombie corpses.
He looked up and saw that across the street, there was a convenience store not far from his house.
Logically speaking, right now, he could choose to let Luciana protect him the entire time, then quickly leave the house, go to the convenience store to get supplies, and come back as soon as possible.
But after giving it a thought, he didn’t choose to do so.
There were two main reasons why he didn’t go to the convenience store.
The first was that if he wanted to go out, he had to spend a lot of effort in removing some wood planks from the door to open the gap.
Only then could he go out.
If that was the case...
He would have to spend time repairing the planks when he came back.
This was a very energy-consuming and tiring task.
The second point was more important.
The Doomsday Era had arrived, and he only had a little understanding of it.
According to the system, the Doomsday era would continue to evolve, and there would be more and more monsters that would become increasingly terrifying.
In addition, he still had some food reserves at home, so Stark wasn’t willing to go out at all. He would be taking the risk for nothing.
So, Stark chose to stay at home quietly.
While guarding against zombies, he checked to see if all the appliances in the house were really broken.
If he could contact the New York authorities and the outside world, he would naturally be able to get more information about the apocalyptic era.
Just like that, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m, Stark finally confirmed something on the radio.
According to the latest report from the New York authorities, the apocalypse was worldwide.
Both in the west and the east, there was a zombie crisis.
And that was not the most important thing.
The New York authorities had publicly stated in their latest broadcast that it was now the end of the world. The original American society was in complete chaos.
In the following world, as in primitive times, there would be all kinds of forces.
There would be gangs, bandit groups, soldiers with high-tech power, and so on.
In the New World, all the old order would be broken.
Everyone would fight against their own kind for a bit of water and a mouthful of food.
Even people who were usually gentle might come to rob and even eat the corpses of their own kind when they were mad with hunger.
In short, in this apocalyptic era, scavenging, killing, robbery, and even rape would become the norm.
People would only care about themselves and disregard the lives of others.
In the future world, everyone could only hope for the best.
..
After listening to the statement in the broadcast, Stark was already mentally prepared for this.
He knew that the world had changed.
And it was also at this time that a dignified and heavy voice sounded from the sky again.
The voice that announced that Earth had entered the apocalyptic era started speaking again!
The cold, mechanic voice in the sky said, “First of all, congratulations to all of you. The humans who can still hear this voice are the lucky ones who have survived the apocalyptic era for a day.
“But what I want to tell you is, don’t be happy too early. If you want to live, you will face a fear that is a hundred or even a thousand times more terrifying than yesterday!
“Stronger and stronger extraordinary creatures will appear on the ground. At that time, you will realize how wonderful it was to have only zombies on the streets yesterday.”
At this point, the system’s tone suddenly changed.
“But you don’t have to be too desperate. You humans still have the means to survive in the apocalypse.
“After every extraordinary creature is killed, there is a probability of dropping a ‘spirit crystal’ that contains pure energy.
“In this era, some humans will awaken special abilities in desperate times. Such humans are known as Transcendents. Some of them can control fire, while some have the strength of a giant elephant. Their power far surpasses that of ordinary people.
“After these transcendent humans absorb the crystals, they can continuously strengthen their abilities, allowing them to survive in this world filled with monsters.
“However, ordinary humans should not lose hope. Although the crystals can not strengthen your abilities, after absorbing them, they will enhance your body. At the same time, they will also have the ability to dispel the zombie virus.
“In short, the crystals will be extremely important in this world in the future.
“One last hint. In a month, the apocalypse will evolve.
“There will be a new natural disaster in this world: the green poison natural disaster. At that time, it will be even crazier.
“Therefore, I wish all of you good luck, human beings!”
Once the voice in the sky uttered the last sentence, there was no more sound.
After listening to all of this, Stark also kept quiet.
In fact, in the entire world, no one dared to say a single word.
The voice in the sky had already given too much information.
Transcendent individuals, spirit crystals to strengthen their abilities.
These were things that they had never heard of before.
Moreover, the most important thing was the last sentence of the voice in the sky.
“In a month, a new green poison natural disaster will descend upon this world!”
After the voice went away, a large green notification appeared in the sky. It could be seen all over the world.
Green poison natural disaster countdown: 29 days!
Terrifying!
Frightening!
Suffocating!
Everyone thought that surviving the day before was already dangerous enough.
They didn’t expect the voice in the sky to tell them that in a month, a green poison disaster would descend!
From the name, could it be related to poisonous gas and insects?
Thinking of this, everyone went crazy.
They didn’t dare to imagine anymore.
Would their future life be even scarier than hell?
Everyone had the same thought.
Panic spread in everyone’s hearts.
Finally, some humans couldn’t hold on anymore.
The radio at Stark’s house started to receive messages from broadcasts within a few miles.
“Oh my God! How could such a terrifying thing happen in this world? I’ve already survived a day with great difficulty, but why isn’t it over yet!
“I don’t want to live anymore!
“Bang!”
A gunshot came from the other end, and there was no more sound.
“No! No! This is absolutely not real!
“Absolutely not real. My pistol is ready, and there are five bullets inside.
“Tonight, I will go to heaven with my wife and children.”
The desperate father cut off the broadcast, sensing the horrible life ahead.
“Please, can someone hearing this broadcast save me? I’m at Gate ***.
“Please, can somebody help me? Aah!”
The woman on the other end of the telegram let out a scream, accompanied by a man’s scolding voice.
It was unknown what that woman would face next.
There was no other way.
Compared to men, women who were already weak were on the receiving end in this apocalyptic era.
If they were not careful, they would be dominated by men.
Some men directly treated their women as playthings, raping the girl they liked but did not dare to lay their hands on before. Once they disobeyed, they threatened to kill her.
Some men would even sell a woman like currency to others for their amusement.
In this era, if a woman could meet a man who truly doted on her, she must cherish him.
Because it was too rare.
After listening to the voices, Stark silently turned off the radio.
All kinds of hopeless voices around him didn’t affect him at all.
If what the voice in the sky said was right, there would indeed be a group of humans who would awaken to become Transcendent humans and obtain even more powerful powers.
But he wasn’t afraid at all.
He had the Check-in system, and the powers he obtained were worlds apart from those Transcendent humans.
If it was just one or two extraordinary humans, why not just kill them?
What made Stark even more concerned was the spirit crystals mentioned by the voice in the sky, as well as the calamity that would descend on Earth in a month: The green poison disaster.
These two points were crucial.
Although he currently had Fallen Angel and Sword of God, two SSS-class weapons, he still did not understand the apocalyptic era well enough.
He wasn’t sure if he could deal with the green poison catastrophe in a month’s time.
Therefore, to deal with the upcoming disaster, he had to make use of all the time he had to check-in and become stronger.
He had to survive first, not to mention ruling over others!
In any case, as long as he had the Check-in system, he would receive unexpected rewards.
In this apocalyptic world, he would definitely be exceptional. Slowly, he would have everything!
There was only one day left to check-in, and then he could go out.
Hold on.
After looking at Luciana beside him, Stark thought to himself.
