Re: Immortal In The Apocalypse

This is 4k words.

...

"Damn it, I really was reborn," shouted a young man in an office filled with employees sitting at computers.

He didn't hold back as he shouted so that everyone's gazes fell on him.

It was the marketing department, the employees were busy talking to the company's clients over the phone, the shouted no doubt bothering them all.

But he didn't care, only those who lived up to those days knew how gloomy those days were.

Destruction, destruction everywhere.

Even though he managed to get a good place in the future, he almost lost his sanity to get it all.

He didn't wait for people to ask, he stood up from his chair in a frivolous manner.

Dissatisfied with just shouting, he ended up kicking the table in front of him.

It was a long table that was used by over twenty people, although the kick didn't knock the table down, it still caused the table to wobble so that the computers on the table fell.

Instantly the atmosphere froze. He might be forgiven for suddenly shouting, but deliberately vandalizing office property was, without a doubt, an unforgivable crime.

"Qin Tian, ​​what are you doing?" Shouted a woman.

She sat at the main table, looking like she was about twenty-five years old.

She was about 170 cm tall, and had black hair in a neat bun.

The most amazing thing was her face, she was not wearing any make-up, but her skin was white as snow and smooth as jade.

With a sharp nose and smooth lips, she is without a doubt, the most classy East Asian woman.

The professional attire she wears makes her aura of a modern, intelligent woman radiate.

Her name is Xia Xue, she is the director of the company department and the daughter of the owner of the company. She was also cold and fierce so no one would dare to anger her.

Qin Tian looked at her, but he wore a mocking expression as he looked at her.

He picked up the can of soda on his desk and threw it at her.

With his experience, his throw was so accurate, it fell right on her face.

"..."

"What? Has Qin Tian gone mad?"

"He really has gone mad, no matter how frustrated he is with his job, there's no way he could do this."

"Someone, quickly call the mental hospital, it will be trouble if he goes crazy in this company."

How Qin Tian cares about their words.

He quickly walked away.

Several people tried to stop him, but he easily hit them. After all, the people in the office were mostly women while the men were almost as weak as women.

He was the only one looking manlier in the office. Coupled with the experiences in his past life, he was like a lion in a pack of cats.

"Qin Tian, ​​you jerk, stop!" Xia Xue shouted once again.

Her face was as red as a monkey's ass after she wiped the soda water off her face.

Her eyes were bulging, she looked like she wanted to swallow him alive.

Qin Tian stopped and looked at her again.

This time he smirked before saying, "Xia Xue, you bitch. In this life, I will definitely make you my concubine."

After saying that, he immediately left.

There was a reason why he was being so unreasonable to her.

When the apocalypse comes, she becomes a zombie.

He saw for himself when she suddenly turned into a zombie at the start of the apocalypse.

But she did live with the blessings of the gods, even though she became a zombie, she became an S-class zombie.

S-class zombies are the highest level zombies, they are able to control other zombies, and evolve very quickly.

As the level of the zombies got higher, they would regain their memories.

In the future, Xia Xue will become one of the strongest zombies.

Before she regained her memories, she was one of the most feared monsters in the Yangtze region.

Qin Tian had already forgotten how many times he had nearly died at her hands, how could he not hold a grudge against her.

Even after she regained her memory, she still caused a lot of trouble for him.

Without considering the grudges in other lives, apart from the boss and subordinates in the office, they had also been friends for quite a while.

But Qin Tian did not plan to help her.

Not that he's being petty, but what a woman like her in apocalypse can do.

At the start of the apocalypse, about one percent of humans will become zombies. These zombies then bite the humans around them so that the number of zombies increases drastically in a short time.

According to future research, people who instantly turn into zombies are mentally weak people.

Although most of the survivors were also mentally weak and fearful of the apocalypse, those who became zombies had a much weaker mentality.

In apocalypse, mentality determines almost everything. Mentally weak people are the most useless people.

Xia Xue, while she always put on the front of a strong woman, he knew clearly that she was just a spoiled and whiny woman. Problems with her parents made her fall on the verge of insanity several times. She even tried to commit suicide several times out of frustration.

Being an S-class zombie was much better for her.

She would grow strong and in the future, she would become one of the most powerful evolvers.

It would also refine her weak mentality into one of the most mentally strong women.

Perhaps what he did seemed immoral because it didn't help her avoid the catastrophe even though he could. Unfortunately, he himself had long since lost the so-called morale.

For him, all things can be considered right if it results in something better in the future.

He entered the elevator and quickly arrived at the lobby of the building.

He didn't stop there, he immediately rushed out of the building.

He has no time to waste or do other things.

It is now 13.00, and the apocalypse begins at 16.00. Only three hours left.

He has a target, namely the immortal fruit.

There is only one immortal fruit, and the person who eats it will truly become immortal.

Yes, immortal. Immortal here is not immortal like in the novels, immortal referred to here is immortal because it cannot be killed.

While there are many other fruits that grant various special abilities, how can they compare to the fruit that grants immortality.

Survival is the hardest thing in the apocalypse, being immortal means being able to ignore the hardest thing.

In his past life, the immortal fruit was not eaten by a human, it was eaten by a monkey.

The monkey was, without a doubt, a disaster among calamities.

Who knows how many cities the monkey destroyed. At its peak, it traveled the world and wreaked havoc everywhere. Not even nuclear bombs could kill it.

Qin Tian's only luck was to be reborn before he became the monkey's target.

Of course, there was a reason why he had managed to be reborn.

...

He then stopped a taxi and asked the driver to send him to the fast train station.

The immortal fruit will appear at the peak of the jade emperor, on the tai mountain. It takes time to get there from Shanghai even by fast train.

He had no family left, so he had no worries.

Even though he had some friends, he had not cared about them for a long time.

Looking at the still majestic Shanghai, full of tall buildings, he sighed.

He felt a bit strange, the world he saw now was completely different from in the future.

In the future, most of the buildings will collapse, the skies will turn yellow, in some places it will be hotter so that it becomes arid while in some other places it will be so cold that it will become like the north pole.

Zombies and monsters are not the only enemies of humans, nature itself has also become hostile to humans.

Unfortunately he had already gotten used to such a life, the present life where the law dominated, it was no longer suitable for him.

His cell phone rang, it was a phone call from Xia Xue. He doesn't pick up the phone from her so she starts texting him.

"Qin Tian, ​​where are you going? Come back now! Give me an explanation!"

"If you don't come back, don't blame me if I fire you."

...

...

...

He was starting to get annoyed with the messages that kept coming in, so he ended up turning off his phone.

'Immortality, if I have it, what is the meaning of everything in this world. The important thing is to be immortal first,' he said to himself.

Only those who lived to see the monkey's glory know how great immortality is.

Beauty, wealth, power, they were all like pebbles that were worthless compared to eternity.

Thinking that he would soon have immortality made him feel so excited that he wanted to scream.

He could already imagine himself becoming a supreme emperor, dominating the entire earth with his two hands.

At that time, what he could not have.

....

Almost two hours later, he arrived at Tai'an city, the city where Tai Mountain was located.

It can't be compared to Shanghai, there aren't many tall buildings here. But the tai mountain north of the city made the city seem full of momentum.

For the Chinese, it is a sacred mountain, the foundation of the entire mainland of China.

Every day, there are thousands of people who come for pilgrimage.

It is also inhabited by many animals, from monkeys, snakes, and various types of rare birds.

Climbing the mountain is certainly not easy. Fortunately, the infrastructure on the mountain is also very complete and structured. There are stairs that reach the top of the mountain, and there's even a cable car that can help people reach the top of the mountain without wasting energy.

Qin Tian didn't want to bother now, so he used the remaining money to get on the cable car.

Although it was quite slow, climbing the stairs was much slower. He also didn't want to waste too much energy.

There were about ten people riding the cable car with him, they were made up of all sorts of people.

There was even a young girl holding hands with her sugar daddy.

Qin Tian sneered as he looked at them.

He didn't know any of them. If they didn't become zombies, that meant they would only be minor characters. Or die early.

Those little characters whose lives are the darkest, many husbands and wives betray each other.

In this tai mountain, he also wants to find some people.

After all, this is the place where the immortal fruit appears, besides the immortal fruit, there are many other fruits that give extraordinary innate gifts.

Among future top-level evolvers, there were many who started from this mountain.

Some had had a cooperative relationship with him and some were his life and death enemies.

...

The cable car quickly arrived at the peak of the jade emperor.

From Shanghai to Tai'an station, Qin Tian took almost two hours, then his journey from the station to the top of the mountain also took a lot of time. It won't be long before the apocalypse begins.

He immediately rushed out of the cable car.

The infrastructure at the top of the mountain was also well built, there were even several pavilions there.

Several trees grew tall there and it was filled with monkeys.

There was one tree that stood out the most, it was the tallest of all the trees. The monkeys that inhabit the tree are also bigger than the other monkeys so no one dares to approach it.

In the future, the tree will be known as the immortal tree because that is where the eternal fruit will grow.

Looking at the tree, he took a deep breath.

"I can smell immortality," he said.

Right after he spoke, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Boy, don't read too many novels. Even if there really is a gate of immortality on this tai mountain, it's definitely not your turn to get it."

The one who spoke was the sugar daddy.

He was a middle-aged man with a distended stomach.

The young girl looked him up and down, she nodded slightly when she saw his face, she seemed to acknowledge his good looks, but when she saw that the clothes he was wearing didn't have any famous brands, she immediately sneered.

"I smell poverty from you," she said.

"No money, no house and no future, what a waste of face," she added.

Qin Tian looked at her, she was quite beautiful with a glamorous style and round eyes. Her long hair was slightly curly and dyed blonde. She's probably still a high school student.

He casually replied, "money can be earned, but face can't be changed. In the end, you will still look for handsome men for fun."

He glanced at the sugar daddy, and lifted his chin disdainfully.

He was about to take a step, but the sugar daddy suddenly blocked his steps.

He shouted "son, what do you mean, are you saying I'm ugly? I'm just old, where do you think my daughter's pretty face came from?"

"Bastard, how dare you insult my father, do you know who he is?"

Qin Tian knitted his brows, apparently he misunderstood.

The problem was he had just returned from a world where many young girls sold themselves out.

Although it is not a little now, in the future it is a very common thing.

"Well, so he's your dad, I thought he was your sugar daddy," he replied.

"You."

The father and daughter's faces turned green.

"However, if he is your father, you should probably ask your mother who your real father is. Maybe her driver or your neighbor."

"..."

"Son, who gave you the courage to say that."

The middle-aged man was about to slap him, but he easily dodged.

He then ran towards the immortal tree.

The middle-aged man and the young girl tried to chase after him, but they had no other choice but to stop when they saw the huge monkeys in the tree.

"What? Does he want to be food for the monkeys?" The young girl said.

She was panting after running.

She then took a stone and threw it at the tree.

The monkeys saw she had thrown the stone at their tree, but they were just monkeys in the end. Instead of looking at her, they looked at Qin Tian who was under the tree.

They looked at him threateningly.

Unfortunately he wasn't intimidated at all.

He had even fought giant gorillas many times, those monkeys which were only slightly bigger than the other monkeys were no different from mice in his eyes.

Even without superpowers, he is not afraid to fight with them.

In addition, in fact, the monkeys on the mountain are quite docile, they are all used to the existence of humans, only humans are too afraid of them.

If humans were braver, they would be the ones to be afraid.

He showed a mocking expression before climbing the tree. It was a large tree that was quite tall, although his body was a bit stiff, the memory of his apocalypse life allowed it to climb the tree with ease.

"What? What is he doing?"

He quickly caught the attention of many people, not just the middle-aged man and the young girl.

The monkeys started to squeak and move with threatening expressions.

He didn't stop, in no time, he managed to arrive at a tree branch.

He cut off one of the small branches the size of a stick and used it to threaten the monkeys.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, making the monkeys keep their distance from him.

Soon he arrived at the highest branch safely.

Several flowers grew on the branch, he had been watching them ever since he climbed the tree.

The flowers weren't something that was supposed to grow on the tree, so he guessed immortal fruit would grow around the flowers.

Apocalypse may not have really started yet, but things are starting to emerge.

He sat around the flowers staring at the monkeys. He wondered which of them had become the immortal monkey.

He then looked at the mountain area, it wouldn't be long before the apocalypse began, he looked for future strong evolvers, but he still didn't find them.

Of course, it was probably because now they looked different that he didn't recognize them. Some people may not be at the top of the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain and beyond.

After seeing that he was fine in the tree, some people started to leave.

The young girl showed a dissatisfied expression, she was about to pick up another stone, but a middle-aged woman suddenly reprimanded her.

"Little girl, are you ready to take responsibility if an accident happens to her?" Said the middle-aged woman.

"Hmph, girls these days do lack morals, they only know how to be spoiled, selfish and unreasonable."

"You.."

The girl started to get angry, she was indeed a spoiled girl like the antagonist in school children's soap operas.

"What? You dare to go against me?"

"Why not? Who do you think you are?"

They started to fuss so Qin Tian also noticed them.

He observed the middle-aged woman, she was probably in her 40s.

She was quite beautiful, at least there weren't any wrinkles on her face yet.

Judging by her attire, she might be just an ordinary working class, but she dared to scold the girl when the others chose to remain silent.

According to him, she was a good candidate to be made a subordinate.

In apocalypse, one needs subordinates if one wants to live comfortably.

In his past life, he could be said to be a solo fighter, and he knew how tiring that would be.

He had to take care of the simple but troublesome things himself such as collecting the spoils of war, gathering information, or dismembering the bodies of monsters to search for the treasures within.

By having subordinates who help in the fight, killing zombies and monsters will become easier.

In the future, the ones who became outstanding in fighting were the brave ones, the calm ones, and the ones who didn't panic easily when they saw shocking events.

Those who don't have these three criteria or something else to rely on are only fit for cannon fodder. And cannon fodder is also very much needed in apocalypse.

With his knowledge, Luo Tian was sure he could help his subordinates grow strong.

The future top-level evolvers, apart from having one of those three criteria, was also because they were lucky.

They were lucky to have acquired extraordinary skills and didn't die in the middle of a fight.

As long as luck was added, anyone who had one of those three criteria actually had a chance to become a top-tier evolver.

As for the girl, Qin Tian couldn't think of a suitable role for her other than friend in bed.

She was still arguing with the middle-aged woman, the latter revealing herself to be a teacher, yet the girl still continued to fight back.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Suddenly countless birds jumped out from within the rows of trees in the forest and flew into the sky.

Because there were so many of them, it even caused the sound of their wings flapping to be heard.

No one knew what had happened, some were surprised, but many were amazed at the sight of the many birds in the sky. Rare birds that were rarely seen were now flying above them.

As their attention was drawn to the birds, almost no one noticed that the monkeys in the trees were starting to act strangely. Those who were watching only thought that they were acting strange because they saw the birds.

"Soon," Qin Tian said as he looked at the watch on his wrist.

He didn't feel nervous but was getting excited.

While waiting for the clock to hit 16, he turned his cell phone back on.

Most power plants will collapse so electricity and internet will be out for a long time.

Now he thinks to spend the rest of the time enjoying the internet first.

Messages from Xia Xue filled his cell phone, he was too lazy to read them all, so he deleted them all.

Time passed quickly as he played with his cell phone.

As it got closer to 16.00 he started to tighten his grip on the tree because during an earthquake he might fall.

If it wasn't a public place, he would definitely have bought some ropes and some sharp weapons first before coming.

Unfortunately here can't bring them or people will think he is a terrorist.

A familiar voice appeared in Luo Tian's head, even a virtual screen appeared before his eyes, something only he himself could see. That is the status window. Everyone has one.

At that time, he was very surprised, but now only people are shocked, he is the only one who is not surprised.

Rumble...

Then an extremely loud roar resounded in the sky. The sky was immediately filled with black clouds, it happened so fast that people who blinked could not see the process of the appearance of the black clouds.

After that, the sound of rain rang out from the sky, it was so loud that the voices of the people were not heard anymore.

Before the rain reached the earth, the earth suddenly shook so hard that everyone fell.

Buildings began to crumble and much of the land was torn apart.

Some people's eyes suddenly went blank, they then roared before pounce on those closest to them.

In just one second, various events that were never imagined by humans suddenly happened.

Qin Tian ignored everything that was happening, his expression turning savage as he looked at a fruit that had suddenly sprouted in front of him.

The fruit was extremely small, it was the size of a grape, it was pitch black in color and it emitted an extremely powerful aura of life.

"Immortal fruit, it must be you."

Without thinking, he stretched out his hand to pick the fruit.

Several monkeys also noticed the fruit, they seemed to be very interested in it.

The moment he touched the fruit, he felt as if he was holding the whole world.

He quickly withdrew the fruit before popping it into his mouth. He swallowed it directly.

What is an innate gift?

It was something that was obtained from consuming the spiritual fruit. It was very important because it turned an ordinary human into a human born with something special.

It could be a bloodline, a rare body part, a certain soul, an element, or even a weapon. There are many that cannot be mentioned.

Of course, there was a difference in quality between innate gifts, the higher the quality, the stronger one's abilities.

Before reaching level 50, one could only have one innate bounty. Therefore, it was important to have high-quality innate gifts in order to have stronger abilities.

Even so, innate gifts are also not completely decisive.

The number of spiritual fruits is not much, and over time they will become less and less so that in the future their appearance is always contested.

In the end, many of the evolvers had no innate gifts.

But that doesn't mean they can't compete.

There are still dependable skills. One can have many skills, some are also very strong.

Apart from skills, there are also spiritual weapons.

Levels and stats were even more important because the higher they were, the stronger one was.
