Apocalypse: I Choose To Stop Time

"It was the year 2030 and the world had fallen into darkness. Pollution spread pervasively and all sorts of diseases permeated Earth. Countless lives were mutated by the shadows and turned into the living dead. Faced with such a haunting world, Thomson was surprised to wake one day with a newly implanted system. With living dead scattered all over the world, the system gave him two choices. 1. A hundred sets of individual equipment. 2. To stop time. The system gave Thomson two choices and he replied, ""Stop time!"""

I Like Using A Chainsaw

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Your gun."

With a thought, Thomson took out the pistol that he had snatched from Lester and threw it over.

This move made Lester exclaim in admiration.

"Boss, how did you do this magic trick? Can you teach me?"

"You can't learn it." Thomson's voice was flat.

"Is it really impossible?" Lester had not given up yet.

Nina looked at him suspiciously. "Don't tell me you want to join us because you want to learn this?"

"Why would I..."

Lester smiled embarrassingly. Then, he looked at the gun in his hand, shook his head, and handed it to Nina.

"I don't know how to use this thing. It's useless to me. Why don't I give it to you for self-defense?"

"If you don't know how to use it, why did you point it at me before?" Thomson laughed playfully.

When Nina heard this, she suddenly turned on the safety of her pistol and aimed it at Lester. Her gaze was ice-cold.

"Little girl, don't mess around!"

Lester was shocked. "I didn't know boss at that time. I just wanted to scare him."

"Who are you calling little girl?" Nina frowned coldly.

Lester admitted defeat. "Sister, sister, I was wrong."

Thomson patted Nina, who then put down the gun.

"Tell me, why do you want to join us? You should know that we've only met once."

Thomson became serious. Perhaps it was because he had killed too many zombies, but a sense of authority suddenly arose.

He had already shown his authority. He believed that Lester already knew who was the only one who could give orders in this team.

Lester was stunned for a moment before he answered seriously.

It turned out that he was a surgeon who lived in this building.

After the disaster broke out, he seized the first opportunity and occupied the storage room on the 27th floor that had yet to be emptied.

The reason why he had to acknowledge Thomson as his boss was partly because he had been stuck in that storage room for too long and was surrounded by endless zombies. He felt that his future was uncertain, which caused him to have a mental breakdown. Coincidentally, Thomson had saved him.

Another reason was because Thomson's way of doing things, as well as his ability to appear and disappear, had gained Lester's approval.

After hearing that, Thomson shook his head speechlessly.

"I've already stolen all your food, yet you still acknowledge me?"

Lester said seriously, "If it was before the apocalypse, I definitely wouldn't acknowledge you. However, in this current world, if you're not ruthless, you'll only die.

"More importantly, I feel that following you will save my life."

Thomson could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Then, go and kill ten zombies for me."

After subduing Lester, he had received a new mission.

Like Nina, Lester also needed to kill ten zombies.

By himself.

Therefore, Thomson made this request as if it was a trial to join as his subordinate.

He would not accept useless trash.

"Huh?"

Lester could not believe his ears.

Did he hear wrongly?

However, from Thomson's expression, it did not seem like he was joking.

He could not help but swallow his saliva and pointed downstairs.

"Those things have gone crazy and are more difficult to deal with than before. Boss, are you sure you want to watch me kill zombies and not zombies killing me?"

Thomson turned his head to Nina and asked, "Nina, how many did you kill just now?"

Nina tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said uncertainly, "I didn't destroy many of the brain tissues, but there should be more than ten of them."

"..."

Lester was dumbfounded. Why were all the pretty girls in front of him so fierce?

Thomson looked at Lester indifferently.

"Either you don't use a weapon or you learn how to use a pistol. Choose one."

"No... No need..."

Lester came back to his senses. The dignity of a man did not allow him to retreat anymore. He coughed lightly and took out two scalpels from somewhere.

"I have this. It's more skillful than a gun."

After saying this, he carefully touched the stairs and went downstairs.

Thomson put his arm around Nina's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look."

Nina obediently leaned into his arms.

The two of them came to the stairwell. It was quiet all around. Only a few zombie roars could be heard from far away downstairs. Other than that, there was no danger.

Thinking about it, it made sense. The noise of the chainsaw destroying the guardrail was so loud that the entire building could hear it in this enclosed and empty environment. The zombies on the higher floors were probably attracted to it.

Meanwhile, Lester was cleaning up the zombies that were not in a frenzy in the corridor on the lower floor.

The scalpel was very sharp. He sneaked up and quickly inserted the blade into the temple. With a slight stir, one zombie was completely dead.

The number on Thomson's mission list was rising rapidly.

It was completed in a few minutes.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host. Lester, who completed the mission, has killed ten zombies. You've received three choices and one reward!"

"1: 50 free attribute points"

"2: 1 hot-weapon firearm of any type, 1,000 bullets."

"3: a heavy-duty modified car."

The system reward would increase along with the level of the mission. The reward this time was much better than the reward of Nina's killing mission. Even Thomson was a little tempted.

50 free attribute points could increase an individual's strength by a lot.

In this way, the difficulty of the target heading to the mall in the next few days would be reduced accordingly.

After all, the most powerful person in this three-man team was Thomson. His strength was the guarantee of the survival of the team.

The second reward was also not bad.

There were a large number of zombies blocking the road. If there was a silenced rifle, it could clear a path from afar. It was very safe.

Coincidentally, Nina was from the Police Academy and her marksmanship was her specialty.

The third option was a little violent. The reinforced heavy truck could open a path and directly drive to the mall, crushing all the zombies under the wheels.

This was a good choice to complete his mission of killing 1,000 zombies. However, it was too ostentatious and could easily cause a zombie riot.

Outside, there were not tens or hundreds of zombies, but tens of thousands of zombies!

Once the car broke down, they would become meat on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

After much consideration, Thomson still chose to use firearms.

On one hand, after Nina had completed the mission of killing 10 zombies, the system had released the mission of killing 100 zombies, which was just enough to complete it.

At the same time, it could also increase the number of zombies she killed, killing two birds with one stone.

As for the attribute points, this kind of reward was very common, so it was not too late to choose it in the future.

Therefore, Thomson lowered his head and asked Nina.

"What kind of gun are you best at?"

Nina, who was leaning against Thomson's chest, did not even raise her head.

"Sniper rifle, but now I like to use a chainsaw!"
