Love in the Apocalypse, a Terrifying Thing!

On the nineteenth day, you fulfilled your duties in your position and attended a meeting of the Safe Zone's leadership team. With the help of your talent, you overheard the thoughts of all the team's key members and secretly made detailed plans...

On the twentieth day, you secretly eliminated the hidden dangers within the team.

On the twenty-first day, your prestige within the Safe Zone rose once more. The leader you supported was highly skilled at management, and all the Safe Zone's resources were put to use.

On the twenty-second day, you opened up a supply route. Barring any surprises, there would be no need to worry about food for the next month.

On the twenty-third day, a newly Awakened person asked why you could wield the power of lightning. You gave them a perfunctory answer.

On the twenty-fourth day...

He had actually gotten involved in establishing order within the Safe Zone...

That was rather unexpected.

Su Ze knew his own temperament very well.

To be honest, he preferred the feeling of being a hidden master sweeping the floor.

The outside world was filled with battles and bloodshed, with heroes and champions emerging one after another. Yet no one knew that in the library atop the heights, a peerless master was watching the world with a smile.

And once this peerless master made his move, the entire world would be shaken...

Ahem.

Though this was not a martial arts world, but an apocalypse...

At its core, there was not much difference.

Still, with things having developed this far, Su Ze could understand it.

After all, he was overwhelmingly strong and could easily kill ordinary Awakened in seconds.

Such combat power naturally drew attention.

Since he could not hide his edge, he might as well go with the flow...

One thing worth mentioning was that the simulation once again seemed to prove something.

A blue-grade Combat Talent was enough for him to dominate one side in the apocalypse.

He might not necessarily be able to suppress the monsters in the Contamination Zone.

But against the relatively few Awakened, he could probably kill them with ease...

On the twenty-sixth day, you remained in the Safe Zone and assisted the leader in gathering information about the outside world. You gained little, only learning that the various Safe Zones had all begun to take shape.

On the twenty-seventh day, Father God's Listening took effect. You heard that others had tried to destroy a Pollution Source. They had tried it and died.

On the twenty-eighth day, women sent you flirtatious looks every day, which made Chen Keqing nervous. She decided to draw an adults-only comic to distract herself.

On the twenty-ninth day, because her talent for drawing was not very good, Chen Keqing announced the end of her brief career as an artist. You looked at her work and thought it was actually decent. Her comic also inspired you, and the two of you developed new positions...

On the thirtieth day, you continued developing new knowledge...

On the thirty-first day, more people became Awakened, and the methods for becoming Awakened gradually became public.

On the thirty-second day, you noticed that some Awakened had developed ulterior motives. You wanted to eliminate them, but had no reason to act for the time being.

On the thirty-third day, you set a trap and eliminated some of the Awakened with ulterior motives.

On the thirty-fourth day, it snowed. You accompanied Chen Keqing in a snowball fight on the rooftop for a while. She told you that it was not impossible if you wanted other women, but she had to be the first wife.

On the thirty-fifth day, your Awakened were attacked by other Awakened while searching for supplies, suffering considerable losses. You launched an investigation.

On the thirty-sixth day, bored out of her mind, Chen Keqing started playing role-play with you.

On the thirty-seventh day, you continued role-playing.

On the thirty-eighth day, it was Chen Keqing's birthday. She lit a fire and made a pot of hot food. You sincerely praised her cooking...

On the thirty-ninth day...

Hmm...

It felt like dating in the apocalypse.

Chen Keqing's name appeared far more frequently in the simulation.

But that was only natural.

After all, the simulation made it clear that this time, his simulated self had not considered becoming an Awakened at all.

Perhaps the tender haven Chen Keqing had built for him was simply too tempting.

So he had been unwilling to risk his life trying to become an Awakened...

Besides Chen Keqing's frequent appearances.

The key events within the Safe Zone had not been overlooked either.

Some information had also been confirmed once again. For example, Pollution Sources absolutely could not be destroyed...

On the fortieth day, Father God's Listening took effect. You learned that an Awakened had broken a Pollution Source and died miserably.

On the forty-first day, you identified the attackers from before. The others hoped that you would take action, and you agreed...

You were worried about Chen Keqing, but you could not take her into the Contamination Zone, since it was dangerous.

On the forty-second day, you spent two hours telling Chen Keqing everything you knew. You wanted to emphasize the dangers of the Contamination Zone, but she insisted on acting with you. You heard her determination and took her along...

You successfully killed the target.

On the forty-third day, you made proper use of the Fallen Gift talent. You did not close your eyes all night, guarding Chen Keqing because you were afraid she would die in her nightmare...

On the forty-fourth day, Chen Keqing believed you should take the initiative. She wanted to risk becoming an Awakened. After thinking it over, you agreed. You immediately took action, and with your help, Chen Keqing came into contact with a Pollution Source.

On the forty-fifth day, you had a nightmare. When you woke up, Healing Energy decreased by one.

On the forty-sixth day, Chen Keqing had a nightmare. You protected her throughout the entire process, but Chen Keqing succeeded on her first try... She used Starry Sky's incantation and became an Awakened.

On the forty-seventh day, you developed new positions and celebrated all day.

On the forty-eighth day, you heard that the authorities were still attempting rescues. Although the situation remained dire, your Father God's Listening talent took effect...

You heard new information: some Awakened had encountered an extremely terrifying creature. It made you think of a term—Contained Object.

On the forty-ninth day, no longer needing to constantly worry about Chen Keqing's safety, you led people into the Contamination Zone to investigate.

On the fiftieth day, you continued investigating. During the investigation, you entered a strange room. You became lost inside the room and encountered a bizarre creature. During the battle, you thought of that term again—Contained Object.

After exhausting all your Healing Energy, you died...

This simulation's evaluation: You lived brilliantly and died carelessly.

You may choose one of the following three simulation rewards:

1. Lightning Superman (Blue)

2. King of Grains (Blue)

3. Deer Hunter (White)

It had ended a little too suddenly...

Even Su Ze was caught off guard.

Seeing how smoothly everything had been progressing, he had thought that he would probably live a long time in this simulation.

Who would have thought that joy would turn to sorrow?

He had only just begun exploring the Contamination Zone. How had he encountered something so bizarre already?

He had been walking along when he suddenly entered a strange room, then inexplicably ran into a powerful enemy.

Most importantly...

"Contained Object? No way..."

Su Ze could not help scratching his head.

If his simulated self had encountered the kind of fictional monster he knew from his previous life, then... his death had not exactly been undeserved.

After all, the threat to life posed by such beings was not something Zombies and the like could compare to.

"I can't draw conclusions for now, but judging from the information I heard through my talent... there really should be some extremely terrifying monsters in the apocalypse."

As he pondered, Su Ze could not help recalling the deadly Great Fog he had experienced in yesterday's simulation...
