Chapter 11 Doomsday Apostle_1

[The earth was scarred everywhere, with cracks of varying lengths making the sight dizzyingly dense.]

[Many monsters crawled out of the cracks and attacked the army.]

[There were casualties among the soldiers.]

[You feel heartbroken by this, but powerless to help.]

Wang Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Although he possessed strength and agility in the triple digits, he was of little use in such a situation.

[After a certain number of sacrifices,]

[the army arrived in the urban area.]

[You move next to a soldier operating a drone.]

[Through the screen,]

[you see monsters everywhere in the city.]

[On the streets, in buildings, under the shade of trees, wherever you can see, there are spiky ball-shaped monsters which tirelessly drag corpses into cocoons like unfeeling worker ants.]

Eternal Peace City has a permanent population of 1.1 million,

and although the simulator didn't say it outright,

Wang Ran knew that the vast majority had become fodder for the monsters,

millions of flesh-and-blood people like himself,

innocent children, loving spouses, striving youths, diligent white-collar workers, hardworking students, and elderly people enjoying their twilight years...

Apocalypse had struck,

and within just a few days, they had all turned into cold corpses.

It was more than a tragedy beyond description.

[The company commander gave the order to advance.]

[The army entered the city.]

[The soldiers repelled monster attacks while searching for survivors based on information collected by the drones.]

[Most of the survivors who left information were found.]

[That night, you spent the night in the city.]

So far, the development was fairly smooth.

[On the seventh day, the army reached the college town.]

[You left the team.]

[You came alone to the basement where Lin Ying was hiding.]

Was Lin Ying still alive?

[You're too late.]

[Through the crack, you see Lin Ying impaled by a spike on the basement wall, her blood coagulated into a thick maroon substance beneath her.]

Without Wang Ran's company,

Lin Ying unsurprisingly died in the basement,

her beauty brought her no good luck.

In the past, Wang Ran and Lin Ying were desperate lovers; this time, he stood outside for the first time, staring at Lin Ying's corpse.

He sighed and said, "I will come back to save you."

[That night, the army spent the night in the college town.]

[An accident occurred.]

[In your sleep, you hear screams coming from all around.]

[You hurriedly get up.]

["Yo, Wang Ran?"]

[You hear a familiar voice.]

Wang Ran was stunned.

The next second, a line of glittering text caught his eye.

[You have triggered the Talent "Deity Descending"]

Wang Ran's eyes widened in astonishment.

The condition for triggering "Deity Descending" was taking a fatal wound, meaning that after hearing that voice, he had "died" once!

What was happening?

The person who called out my name wanted to kill me?

Who was this person?

Lines of text burning with crimson fervor refreshed crazily.

[Your Mental Attribute has temporarily dropped to zero.]

[A nameless deity has descended.]

[You've lost control of your body.]

[Intense battle]

[Intense battle]

[Intense battle]

[...]

The crimson "Intense battle" text scrolled repeatedly, and even from outside the simulator, Wang Ran could feel the ferocity of the battle.

He was horrified.

He himself had a strength of 174 and agility of 100, making him akin to a human bulldozer, and on top of that, he had the empowerment of "Deity Descending"!

After triggering the Talent, even the text on the simulator had special effects!

Why should this person battle him?

[The duration of "Deity Descending" has ended]

[The irate deity leaves]

[Before leaving]

[It expresses strong disdain for your frail body]

[A body of an ant is hardly a mountain to bear]

"I'm frail?"

"My body is an ant's?"

Wang Ran looked at these two lines of text, feeling an ominous premonition.

[You were defeated]

The crimson flames burning over the text gradually died out.

Defeated?!

Wang Ran's eyes widened, he had never expected to lose the battle!

The deity's proxy fight didn't win!

[The enemy stands before you in tattered clothes]

[You lie weakly on the ground]

["I never imagined you concealed such formidable strength. Had this been before the Awakening Ceremony, I would never have been your match. It's a pity that you met me at the wrong time."]

Met you at the wrong time?

Trying to act cool, huh?

You're not in much better shape than I am!

Have the guts to reveal your name!

Veins on the back of Wang Ran's hand sprang angrily.

He was one hundred percent certain this person was a member of the Doomsday Apostle; otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked the army that was initiating the rescue, and the Awakening Ceremony mentioned by this person must definitely be linked with Doomsday!

[You try to see this person's face, but it is completely covered in blood, making it indistinguishable]

[You're certain you know this person]

[You died]

Wang Ran felt extremely frustrated.

Having just crossed over, he hadn't fully integrated into the social circle of the body's original owner; relying only on the vague memories left by the body's original owner, he simply couldn't figure out who this person was.

He hoped that "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve" would offer him some help.

[You triggered the Talent "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve"]

[Eyes bloodshot, an eyeball rolls out of your eye socket. You see the person pick up a black mask, engraved with the gilt characters Shi Si]

[Your eyeball was crushed]

[Due to external interference, "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve" has been terminated prematurely]

Wang Ran: [Black man question mark face.jpg]

[Simulation End]

Wang Ran was in disbelief.

"What the fuck!"

"He crushed my eyeball?"

"Both of them?"

This was the first time Wang Ran encountered such a scenario; he just found out that "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve" could be interrupted!

He said irritably, "This guy is too despicable!"

He did not believe that the person knew his eyeballs could transmit information to him.

The only explanation was that the person was extremely mean, not feeling comfortable without stepping on his eyeballs that rolled out of the sockets.

"What does Shi Si mean?"

"Is this jerk ranked fourteenth among the Doomsday Apostles?"

Since "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve" was interrupted, Wang Ran only knew that the person had a mask engraved with Shi Si.

"There are too few clues."

"But it must be a classmate or teacher around me."

Wang Ran took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

He had to find this despicable person before the apocalypse arrived—it was a matter of life and death for all humanity.

Perhaps, he could prevent the apocalypse from coming...

[You have achieved the following accomplishments in this simulation]

[① A different approach]

[You finally understand that you can't hang yourself on the same tree. You changed your starting point for the simulation, although the outcome was worse than last time]

[② Happy April Fool's]

[In this simulation, you used deception to gain an advantage for yourself. If one day your deceit is discovered, you can wish them a happy April Fool's Day and then... run!]

[③ Scorn of a deity]

[A body of an ant is hardly a mountain to bear. Uh, the deity says it was a poor experience and won't come back next time]

[Congratulations]

[Your Talent "Time-Space Transposition One" has advanced]
