Infinite Plunder

Before anyone could react, the zombies began their slaughter. Attacking anyone they saw, they bit and tore at flesh, and those bitten quickly transformed into new zombies. Screams of agony were endless, with heart-wrenching pleas for help everywhere. In just a moment, the entire academy had turned into a hellish scene.

Noah no longer lingered; lifting his watermelon knife, he silently turned around. In the center of the rooftop, a bronze chest was quietly sitting there. There were many types of supply boxes. The lowest grade was wooden, followed by bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond. In the early days of the apocalypse, most were wooden, with bronze and silver being rare.

Noah quickly approached and opened it, finding three items inside: a basic defense jacket, a zombie virus immunity serum, and a blue enhancement pill. Each item was valuable. The defense jacket, though basic, offered astonishing protection that ordinary zombies couldn't breach.

The blue enhancement pill was an oral medication that could permanently enhance one's physique. The zombie virus immunity serum was invaluable in the apocalypse, worth at least a ton of living supplies and a dozen high-value female slaves, highlighting its rarity.

Noah had never used it in his past life because when he found Su Xiaoyan, she was already infected. Without hesitation, he had used this precious serum on Su Xiaoyan...

Noah first swallowed the enhancement pill, feeling a surge of strength and a noticeable enhancement in his physique. Then, putting on the defense jacket and pocketing the immunity serum, he took his watermelon knife and headed downstairs.

The university town was not a place to stay for long. The dense population would lead to a massive horde of zombies, which would mutate and increase in strength, attack desire, and speed once it reached a certain number. With his current strength, he was not yet equipped to deal with them. Heading to the outskirts, away from the horde, was the best strategy.

[Ding, it has been detected that the host is facing an apocalyptic threat, the system has been automatically activated.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the infinite ability 'Plunder'.]

[Plunder]

[Ability Description: "Bring it to me."]

[Can infinitely replicate all other abilities and plunder others' wealth.]

[Activation Condition: Touch the object of plunder and silently think "Bring it to me."]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Noah stumbled. "My system has arrived?"

In his previous life at the beginning of the apocalypse, Noah had not awakened any abilities until a week into the disaster, and even then, it was just a third-rate ability. He had never imagined that in this life, he would start with an infinite ability. It was an incredibly lucky start. "Plunder, huh? That's very apocalyptic..."

Noah grinned, more than satisfied with his lot. However, even with an infinite ability, he was still weak at the moment since he had not yet replicated anyone else's abilities. Plunder had no offensive power on its own, and his current strength was only average, enough to deal with ordinary zombies. But the future held unlimited possibilities. As long as he kept replicating others' abilities and plundering wealth, it would be hard not to soar to great heights.

Noah immediately abandoned his plan to head to the outskirts. The most important thing now was to find other ability users, then replicate their abilities, preferably the higher-grade, the better.

Noah pondered, sorting through his memories. In his recollection, there weren't many awakened individuals after the apocalypse, and even fewer were noteworthy. Most had Grade-G trash abilities. The one that left a significant impression on him was someone later known as 'Black Widow,' Xue Qingyu, an S-grade lightning ability holder.

Xue Qingyu was also a student, just a sophomore and a year junior to him. Because of her beauty, sweet voice, and pure temperament, she was regarded as one of the four campus belles. However, he and Xue Qingyu didn't have much interaction, having only seen each other a few times at most.

Although he knew Xue Qingyu must have awakened her lightning ability by now, he had no idea of her exact location, which posed a challenge for him. Moreover, with the advent of the apocalypse, the global network had vanished in an instant, rendering all communication devices useless. Trying to contact Xue Qingyu by phone was out of the question.

"I'll have to search for her."

Even if it was like finding a needle in a haystack, he had no choice but to press on. An S-grade ability was not something common. In the future, every S-grade ability holder was a ruler in their own right, which speaks volumes about the value of an S-grade ability.

Moreover, Xue Qingyu was extremely misandrist in the future, killing almost every man on sight, earning her the nickname 'Black Widow' for her ruthless nature.

Now, with Xue Qingyu's ability freshly awakened and likely not fully under her control, it was the best opportunity to replicate it. Missing this chance would make it difficult to replicate her ability later on.

With that thought, Noah, carrying his watermelon knife, headed towards the direction of Xue Qingyu's dormitory building.

As soon as he descended the stairs, several zombies immediately howled and surrounded him. Noah remained calm, his blade rising and falling to decapitate a zombie. He didn't plan on engaging in a prolonged fight, simultaneously fighting and dodging the zombies' attacks with agile steps.

After killing another zombie, Noah swiftly broke out of the encirclement, his figure ghosting towards his intended direction. Only a few hundred meters out, he saw a decent-looking girl being dragged by a zombie next to a sedan. The girl was desperately clutching the car door, holding the keys in her hand, while a zombie bit at her lower leg, causing her to scream in agony.

Without a second thought, Noah ran towards her with his knife. Seeing Noah, a glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's desperate eyes as she quickly begged for his help. "Please save me, I'll do anything..."

Before she could finish, the sharp blade of the watermelon knife was her answer.

With a swift motion, Noah's knife fell, and the girl's head hit the ground. The girl had already been infected by a zombie, and saving her was out of the question. Moreover, he hadn't planned on saving her; helping her find peace was akin to accruing merit.

Noah crouched to retrieve the car keys from the body, sat in the car, started it, and with a press of the accelerator, the car roared forward, bulldozing through everything in its path, be they humans or zombies.

Soon, Noah drove up to the dormitory building where Xue Qingyu resided. However, the scene before him made Noah frown. The entire dormitory building had fallen, with zombies everywhere. The occasional survivor screamed and ran, drawing hordes of zombies in a chase, while some, unable to bear the horrific sight, jumped from the building to their deaths.

The ground was littered with dismembered limbs, organs, and blood everywhere. "With all this commotion, I wonder if Xue Qingyu is still in her dorm. It'll be troublesome if she isn't."

As Noah was about to exit the car, he suddenly saw a petite girl at the dormitory staircase, desperately swinging a gas cylinder, smashing it against the advancing zombies. The girl, under 1.6 meters tall with slender arms and a small frame, was dressed in a pink girlish outfit. Yet, her strength was astonishing; a single gas cylinder blow could send a zombie flying. With just herself and the gas cylinder, she kept a group of zombies at bay.

"Huh..." Noah uttered in surprise, casting a glance at the girl. Then, two lines of text appeared above her head: [Strength Amplification Ability: D-grade] [Wealth Value: 5]. It turned out she was an awakened ability user, and a D-grade one at that.

The girl seemed to notice Noah too. After swinging her gas cylinder a few more times to scatter the zombies, she ran up to Noah's car and started pounding on the windshield. "Fellow student, please open the door. Please, take me with you."

A smile appeared on Noah's face; here was an opportunity to replicate an ability, delivered right to him. He immediately opened the car door, pulled the girl inside, and silently thought, "Bring it to me!"
