Sub-legendary gifts

Damian sat on the toilet, keeping his legs up just in case. He turned on his phone, and looked at the photo of the mall map he had just taken on the first floor, and started planning his departure route.

The mall was too crowded with people now. In his previous life, he only came to the shopping mall to look for supplies a month later when he was already at level 7.

If he is surrounded by zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, even if he can easily kill them with sub-legendary weapons, if there are too many, he will be exhausted and possibly killed.

"If the focus is on escape..." 

Damian looked at the two emergency escape exits of the mall. On the left and right sides of the mall, there is a ladder escape exit respectively. 

The left ladder leads to the first floor, and the right ladder leads directly to the underground parking lot.

The flow of people in shopping malls is not only limited to the mall, but the square outside is even more terrifying.

Use the stairs on the right to go to the underground parking lot, bypass the area with the most dense traffic, and leave directly the shopping mall that is no different from a meat grinder in the early days of the apocalypse.

This is the best route.

[11:55am]

Damian looked at the time and saw there were only five minutes left till the apocalypse wave hits the earth.

He unlocked the door and was about to push it open to observe the situation outside.

(Tap_tap_tupp)

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom, and judging from the sound, they were two people. Damian gently pushed the door back, leaving only a gap to sneak a peek. 

A few seconds later, a man and a woman sneaked in.

Um?

Damian was stunned for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes.

The end of the world is coming soon. Seeing that the two of them looked as guilty as thieves, Damian didn't know what to do. Can they stop him from getting the treasure chest?

The two of them looked around, focusing on the door lock status of several compartments. After confirming that no one was there, they rushed into the compartment at the end. 

After a period of rustling sounds, It was a hushed indescribable sound. 

 (Anhhh unnhhhh ohhhh) 

"...So that's it." After hearing this, Damian was speechless and held his face.

Blame him too.

In the last days, sexual things between men and women were so normal that there was no need to be sneaky at all. He thought the two of them were going to do something else.

Damian pushed the door open a little further, searching for the treasure chest. Time passed by, and luckily during this period, no one else came in.

When the time on the phone jumped from 11:59 to 12:00, the screen started glitching, turning into a string of numbers in green and gray. 

A bright light bloomed in front of Damian's eyes, and a small black treasure box emerged in the light.

It was square shaped and about the same size as a small bank locker safe.

The sides of the treasure box were carved with the faces of different demons, and the box body flashed with black and white intertwining light.

There is no doubt that this is the sub-legendary treasure chest.

The next moment, an illusory screen appeared blocking his sight, and a prompt box for the arrival of the apocalyptic game popped up. 

Damian was not in the mood to watch that information at all, so he rowed the door aside and listened intently to what was going on in the last compartment.

In less than three seconds, a man's pain-filled scream suddenly rang out from the next door, and at the same time, howls of ghostly cries and hungry grunts erupted outside the mall.

Damian slowly closed the door, held his breath and remained motionless.

After more than ten seconds, the man's wailing stopped suddenly, and then, along with a large pool of blood pouring into his cubicle, there was a creepy chewing sound next door.

'Zombies sure love human brains.' Damian thought as he could already imagine the scene inside. 

The woman, probably transformed into a zombie, used her strong nails to open the man's skull, roaring and eating the brain and nearby meaty parts. 

Damian held his breath, as silently as a stone sculpture. It wouldn't take long for a zombie to eat a brain. After eating the food, the female zombie would be attracted by the screams outside.

As Damian expected, after a while, he heard a loud bang, followed by pattering footsteps.

When the man and woman entered the cubicle, Damian knew that there was a possibility that the two of them would become zombies, but he could not drive the two of them out of the bathroom.

At that time, there were still five minutes before the end of the world. If he showed up, Came out and got entangled, it may attract more people, and then it'll be too messy. 

There was no need for him to show up, so he kept hiding. 

There were only three possibilities for the two of them. Neither of them turned into a zombie, both turned into a zombie, and one of them turned into a zombie and the other didn't.

If they didn't turn into zombies, the two of them would definitely be attracted by the treasure box, and Damian would have to kill them for himself.

The remaining two options didn't matter. If it's a closed space, Damian's safety will still be threatened, but with the screams outside, the zombies will definitely be lured out directly.

Until the footsteps could no longer be heard nearby, Damian finally took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

In addition to the treasure box, what caught his eyes were bloody footprints extending all the way from the inside of the compartment to the outside. Damian glanced at the man in the compartment. In addition to his head being forcibly opened, there was also a bloody mess underneath.

"The first zombie who bit a dick off huh. Well, I guess, this man's brain was probably down there too." Damian joked and laughed at the corpse.

If this man could be reincarnated with his memories, would he be frightened and paralyzed by the psychological shadow for the rest of his life? 

Will he have erectile dysfunction like that incestuous pedo mc from that one isekai anime? 

Ignoring the bloody mess, Damian stepped forward to open the treasure box. This was an unlocked treasure box. There was no need to wait for time or unlocking skills. Just listen to a click and the box opened.

There were three cards inside the large box. As Damian took out the cards and the box turned into particles of light and disappeared.

Ignoring the fantastical twists, Damian took a deep breath and opened the game system panel to see the attributes of items.

Just like in the previous life, the weapons and attributes inside the treasure box have not changed at all.

"winter's wrath Sword." Damian held the magic card in his hand and felt a chilling air giving him goosebumps. 

He had used this weapon until his death in the previous life. And although its grade is now only sub-legendary, when it was evolved three times, its attributes were not weaker than the legendary weapon, and it can also start a series of missions for the winter's wrath set.

After collecting them all, a set of sub-legendary weapons will be available. Which can even put many legendary weapons to shame. 

Of course, this is not because Damian was lucky enough to get such a good weapon. All of this is actually a wedding dress made for the protagonist.

After his death, this weapon naturally fell into the hands of the protagonist and became his favorite weapon. Until the hero obtained an artifact with even stronger properties, then he gave the winter's wrath to one of his harem members.

Damian's previous life was a standard stepping stone, training the protagonist, then sending resources, reputation, subordinates, and then finally his life.

Damian pulled the card apart, and the cold breath swept around. He reached out and pulled out a long sword from the light ball.

The total length of the sword is 1.3 meters. The gold colored handle was inlaid with a dark blue crystal stone. As the light blue scabbard is removed, it revealed a sharp blade covered with a layer of frost on edges and exuding an astonishing cold air.

"Hey frosty, we meet again." Damian chuckled and looked at the remaining two cards.

According to the previous life, what remains is a skill book and a piece of jewelry equipment.
