indeed an Apocalyptic world

After calming down, Wuji still found that his current circumstances were somehow out of his control.

He was going to have an opportunity in the workforce, perhaps that might even have allowed his future to go smoothly.

Now however he was struggling to survive in a foreign world, without even any assurance of a future. With the way the black ocean was covering up the entire land, he was not sure if other survivors were present at all.

knowing that everything he could do could not change the current circumstances was infuriating. Moreover, he didn't want to spend his entire life in such a world that seemed to be doomed.

To some extent he already had a goal, to leave but now it had improved slightly.

He would make sure to survive in this place, and go beyond everything.

in that case, he could only force himself to calm down and observe the situation around him to make decisions objectively.

The discovery that he was already in trouble and that nothing he could do could change made him very calm.

Since the entire world was messed up, he needed to be prepared for the worst.

There might not be anyone involved in the rescue operation.

Those currently alive might be more concerned about how to escape death instead of getting involved in other people's situations.

When he calmed down, he started to have second thoughts about the idea of being saved.

In this dark world, perhaps one couldn't put their hope on others or they might die faster.

Having realized this reality, he put aside the thought of rescue coming and started looking at the dark ocean cautiously.

He always had this feeling it was alive and watching everything happening.

Even with the attempt to calm himself down, such thoughts couldn't help but make him very disturbed.

The anomalies springing up from the black ocean can already show that it is dangerous.

His fear and panic obviously couldn't help him out of this situation at all.

In that case, he preferred to depend on himself, especially after having realized he could obtain some benefits from killing this anomaly.

   Having accepted that the world has become completely different. Not only is there a black ocean covering spreading everywhere, and strange creatures arising from it, the black ocean is still on the rise and perhaps the buildings might all be covered in it.

it was just a matter of time.

The mysterious 'strength and spirit values' that were added to his body could be said to be something of value for him.

   "Everything has changed, whether it's me or this world, we are not the same. Trying to come up with a way to rationalize things would be just stupid.

The usual approach of tackling things in life before could only be shoved out. Even survivors in such a place might have distorted personalities.

In that case, trying to use common sense might be the fastest way to die here."

"I no longer care about the cause of this situation and whether it happened accidentally or a backhand responsible, my priority is killing as many of these creatures as possible to increase my chances of survival in this world. It would be more assuring to be stronger than hiding in this place waiting for the black liquid to swallow me up."

   Wuji no longer cares about the number of these anomalies that could be released from the dark ocean.

Standing at the stairs he dropped a dead anomaly into the dark liquid resulting in some changes.

indeed he could see it was melting slowly as though merging with the dark ocean.

he threw the other one too and started waiting for the next to appear.

"It seems very unsafe in this place, but as long as my rate of killing can surpass the speed they arrive it would be very beneficial to me." Wuji carried a metal rod, he had upgraded it with the crystals from the dead anomalies.

it proved very effective, he just had to aim at the head.

   Wuji could see the black ocean stirring as though something was about to come out.

Ignoring the changes in the black ocean, he held the metal rod in hand ready to move at any time.

"The water stopped." This change surprised him, as he thought some anomalies might jump out of the dark ocean.

But nothing happened at all, he sat down and started to feel his stamina had indeed increased.

He could feel that he didn't need to sleep the entire night at all.

    Wuji could see that the moments of the anomalies were not similar, and the latest one to come from the black ocean seemed to be faster.

this discovery made him very concerned as the only one that might be having the chance might not only be him alone.

In that case, it was just a matter of how well he utilized his chances to make sure that he was the last one standing at the end of the day.

Had he not received the improvement in terms of strength then he might have been the one suffering.

having come to this thought, he become very serious. It seemed like he had to become stronger faster or as time passed by he might not even have to wait for his death from drowning in the black liquid, but rather the anomalies.

 With the capabilities of the anomalies, it could be a big problem had its brain been on the same level as that of humans.

This thus was a chance since humans know how to be deceptive.

But he was also worried that this might not have much use when the time comes they attack him in numbers.

Or perhaps they also start walking around with weapons too, at that time he might not even have the chance to smash their heads.

He was aware that without destroying their head and removing the crystal it would still manage to move.

In that case, having a way to limit his ability to get to the crystal could already allow them to beat him easily.

Stretching out his hand and waving around, Wang could see that his body was indeed in a slightly better state than before.

Some kind of new force had started to move in his body but it seemed more or less illusionary as he didn't feel it anymore after.

The only thing he was sure of was that his body had become stronger than usual.

He thus knew that he needed to gain more of it or things might not end well for him at all.

At the moment his strength was indeed increased by some kilograms but at the same time, he retained his size.

well, it is not like he understood how this new situation worked anyway. At the end of the day, he could only let nature take its course.

When he discovered that no new anomaly was appearing he went and brought some table before putting it in a position that it could topple at any slight touch.

After that, he went back to the top floor and started to warm the food from the day.

While resting and waiting for the food to be properly heated, he closed his eyes only to see something that shocked him.

But after opening his eyes, he couldn't see it at all.

  ... Physique: 2/5(Mortal)

....Spirit: 1/5:(Mediocre)

.....Qi and blood: 3/100( can not be upgraded)

... Good fortune: 0/3(can not be obtained)

Seeing this interface appearing after closing his eyes, he was shocked and at the same time had many questions but didn't bother.

No one could answer him about it at all, but he assumed it had something to do with spirit being improved by one that he could see the interface.

   But at the same time, he was impressed because this seemed normal to some things had read in some novels back then when he was on Earth.

"Sure enough, things are not the same at all, it seems this is the same as the case I read in novels back then. I might have already passed through to another world. In that case, there might be rules to survival in this situation. Like just being given this interface is more like a way to facilitate that survival. Seeing as how the values were obtained from killing the anomalies, it seems they are my chance to survive in this place."

After Wuji figured out some things he no longer kept himself depressed.

He could already figure out some things and the same time was sure that once the values reached completion he would manage to experience a change.

While thinking, about the interface he suddenly heard the sound of the table falling.

Wuji was sure that something had come up and thus jumped out of the house towards the place where the stairs were.

He was already grasping the metal rod as he left the place without much much thought.

His mentality had changed, the moment he saw the anomalies climbing up from the ground.

He was smiling which seemed abnormal, he figured they were his good opportunity.

With a "bang" sound, he has already attacked and another swing of the rod smashed the head.

followed by a "bang, bang" sound, then "catch" the head was destroyed and he pushed the crystal aside before hitting it with the rod. As expected, it was absorbed by the rod becoming even darker.

+ Strength

+ Spirit

As expected it dropped two more attributes and they floated directly into his body.

He looked below to see more figures emerging from the dark liquid.

   "Not good! The number is too high, I can't hold them all back. Better think of a way quick." Wuji's expression changed, he was indeed interested in dealing with the anomalies for benefit but also liked to be alive n the end.

in that an into the nearest house before coming up with another plastic board, he was going to use it to delay them and kill the ones that he could in that time.

He threw it down the stairs and waited, it indeed proved very smart as one of them didn't get involved and continued climbing.

He moved towards it and swung the rod, to his amazement the head was destroyed with one swing.

  The anomaly fell and seeing this he run towards the other three that had just been held back.

With every swing, he would take down one before retreating and in the end, the crisp sound was the only thing he could hear.

+Qi and blood

+Spirit

+strength

+Treasure

...

...

He turned to look on the interface to see that the number had skyrocketed.

He had killed numerous anomalies that seemed to have become easier.

 ... Physique: 25/100(Mortal)

....Spirit: 5/100:(Mediocre)

.....Qi and blood: 19/100( can not be upgraded)

... Good fortune: 1/3(can not be obtained)

The situation was indeed looking good for him and he become hopeful. The only thing he had to do continued to fill them up so he could survive this nightmare situation.

But the moment he threw the anomalies into the black liquid nothing special happened.

He turned back towards the nearest room, threw some things on the stairs for warning, and then took a shower before going back on the rooftop.

The stew had almost evaporated from boiling for too long and he had to just eat like that, he realized his appetite had increased greatly.
