Chapter 1Reign of the Apocalypse!

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knocking on the door continued.

Thomson looked out of the door. A woman dressed in fashionable, branded clothes was knocking on the door non-stop.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Thomson gave her more than 80 points in the scale of beauty.

"Be f*cking careful. Stop knocking on the door and lure the zombies over."

It had been more than a day since Thomson had transmigrated to this parallel world.

All this while, Thomson had been staying in his rented house and did not dare to go out.

More than a month had passed after the end of the parallel world had broken out.

In just a month's time, the number of people in the world had dropped to 10%.

In other words, 10% of the people had survived and the other 90% had become zombies.

Although the remaining people did not turn into zombies, the days without food and water were like years to them.

"Please, save me.

"As long as you can save me, I'll do anything!"

The woman outside the door continued to knock.

It was not that Thomson did not want to save the woman.

It was that he was in a world of zombies.

It was simply too difficult to survive in this challenging world.

Thomson had spent most of the day gathering his supplies.

He had only found a few daily necessities.

There was only a box of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water.

"Little brother, please, let me in.

"I'm a socialite. In the past, people who want me could queue up for an entire district from here.

"I still have a lot of savings. As long as you save me, you won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life.

"Also, from now on, I'll be your woman. I can even be your maid."

The woman outside the door begged again.

Through the peephole on the door, Thomson saw that not far behind the woman, there were ferocious zombies surrounding her.

"F*ck, I'll be exposed by this stupid woman."

Thomson cursed this stupid woman in his heart but he still could not leave her to die.

The kindness in his heart made Thomson open the door.

He dragged the socialite in and quickly closed the door.

With a "bang", he shut the zombies that were about to reach the door.

These zombies' eyes had already degenerated, so they could not see anything.

However, their hearing was very sensitive.

The socialite had attracted the zombies because she had shouted loudly.

The zombies were slow because most of their joints were stiff.

However, their strength had greatly increased.

Most importantly, these zombies did not have the ability to think anymore.

Therefore, they were only interested in flesh and blood. They were not afraid of death and they were not afraid of pain.

They instinctively chased after the remaining humans.

One day after he had transmigrated to this world, Thomson saw two passers-by being caught and eaten by zombies.

The bloody scene made Thomson lose his appetite to eat.

He almost vomited the food from the night before.

"Little brother, thank you!

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would've been eaten by zombies.

"By the way, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

The socialite looked at Thomson with starry eyes.

Thomson rolled his eyes at her.

It was already good enough for him to save her, but she still wanted to get his food for free.

Thomson did not have much food either.

"It's already good enough for me to save your life. You can think of a way to find food yourself."

Although Thomson was not a bad person, he still had his bottom line.

He could not risk his life just because of someone else.

Moreover, in this unfamiliar place, this socialite was not related to him, so why should she be so nice to him?

Thomson used the last bottle of mineral water and poured it into a hot kettle, boiling the water.

He soaked a pack of instant noodles.

"Little brother, please."

The socialite smelled the fragrance of the instant noodles and was almost drooling.

"I haven't eaten for five days. Let me have a bite.

"Just one bite. After eating, I'll be at your disposal.

"You can have me however you want."

After the socialite had finished speaking, her pretty face turned red.

However, for the sake of food, her face was no longer important.

Thomson had heard her say similar words several times.

Before he had transmigrated to this world, Thomson had also read some doomsday novels.

When people knew about the Doomsday, they would become very crazy. Rationality had become a scarce commodity here.

They would do anything for a mouthful of food and drink.

Not long ago, Thomson saw a couple running into a group of zombies.

The man had pushed the woman to the zombies just to buy himself a few seconds to escape.

Thomson said, "I think you said the same thing before I opened the door."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

"Ho, ho, ho, ho!"

A loud banging sound was heard.

The zombies outside the door began to pound on the door.

The door was made of wood and could not withstand the damage of the zombies.

It could be broken open by the zombies at any time.

At that time, he could only become food for the zombies.

Thinking of this, Thomson quickly ate all the instant noodles in his hand.

The socialite could only watch helplessly as Thomson wolfed down the noodles.

After all, she was a weak woman. She could not compete with the burly Thomson when it came to snatching food.

After Thomson had finished eating the instant noodles, he glanced at the socialite who was swallowing her saliva.

He handed over the instant noodle soup that he had left.

"Drink it."

The socialite hesitated for a moment, but she still took it.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp." The socialite did not bother to burn her mouth as she finished the entire bowl of instant noodle soup in one go.

She wiped her mouth with a longing look.

Thomson looked at the wooden door that was trembling continuously and cursed in his heart.

'F*ck, I've already transmigrated for so long, why don't I have the support of the system.'

Was it not what was written in novels?

Just as he was cursing, a clear notification suddenly sounded in Thomson's mind.

[Ding! Host detected. Doomsday Dominator System has begun binding.]

[Binding 1%... 30%... 90%...]

[Doomsday Dominator System map has been successfully bound.]
