Encountering a Perfect Mysterious Girl in the Great Fog!

On the second day, the temperature plummeted. The weather conditions were harsh, and flights were grounded. After careful consideration, you decided to stay in Cloud City. While money still held some value, you booked an ordinary room at Jingyi Hotel and planned to observe how the situation developed...

On the third day, you stayed in your hotel room without going out. The internet connection was unreliable, so while it was still working, you browsed plenty of local news and saw many horrifying reports...

That evening, Chen Keqing came out of Avalon and called you in for dinner.

On the fourth day, the power supply began to fail. Fortunately, the hotel had backup generators that barely kept the electricity running. At the same time, you noticed occasional commotion coming from the streets. You knew that Contamination Zones were gradually erupting...

On the fifth day, you went out for a walk. Contamination Zones erupted on a massive scale, and you saw countless people dying in batches during that time. When you returned to the hotel, you found your room occupied by strangers. You tried to negotiate. It failed. You slaughtered them. You left the hotel.

On the sixth day, you discussed things with Chen Keqing and told her to hide in Avalon for the time being and not come out. She was confused until you showed her all the terrifying scenes you had photographed during yesterday's walk. She immediately chickened out and declared that she wanted to be a shut-in.

On the seventh day, you discovered that the hotel was actually a Safe Zone. You returned to the hotel, and some refugees recognized you as the fierce man who had killed people before. As a result, you were given the best room. A woman tried to curry favor with you, but you found her too dirty and rejected her.

On the eighth day, more and more refugees gathered near the hotel, and quite a few people were living in the corridors.

On the ninth day, an Awakened appeared in the Safe Zone where you were staying.

On the tenth day, because you had killed people before, the Awakened came looking for trouble. You ordered the Guardian God to press his head against the wall and use his brains to plaster it...

That battle made your name, and you became the ruler of the Safe Zone.

On the eleventh day, another new Awakened appeared.

On the twelfth day, the number of Awakened increased...

On the thirteenth day, a fighter jet crashed in the city. You learned that the skies above Contamination Zones were not safe.

On the fourteenth day,...

"Cloud City."

Su Ze murmured softly.

As he searched the map on his computer, he quickly found the hotel mentioned in the simulation text.

Of course, the hotel was not the important part...

The important thing was that after Apocalypse's Arrival, every place in the world was more or less the same.

The division between Contamination Zones and Safe Zones was like cutting the once-whole continents of the world into countless isolated islands.

Every island was tightly surrounded by Contamination Zones.

The dangers within those Contamination Zones varied, but every one of them was deadly...

Most despairing of all, neither the sky nor the ground was safe.

The air above and the ground beneath Contamination Zones were both forbidden areas. Even Su Ze, who had simulated this many times, still did not know their exact boundaries in the vertical dimension. He did not even know whether they had boundaries at all.

In short, after Apocalypse's Arrival, humanity's living space would become a series of isolated islands...

The darkly humorous part was this.

When the apocalypse reached its middle stage, many people might believe that Safe Zones were absolutely safe. They would begin thinking about accepting reality and planning to build a new world.

Until the Contamination Zones began to overflow and the Chosen Ones appeared, despair descended once more...

"With my current strength, it makes no difference where I'm 'born.'"

Su Ze thought confidently.

On the eighteenth day, you gathered enough intelligence and began helping Chen Keqing prepare to become an Awakened...

On the twentieth day, Chen Keqing successfully advanced into an Awakened without any real danger.

On the thirty-fifth day, you once again defeated Awakened who had come from other Safe Zones. You hung their corpses outside the hotel as a warning to others.

On the fortieth day, you heard that order in a nearby Safe Zone had completely collapsed. Many people had died, and all the survivors had fled. Many new faces also appeared in the Safe Zone under your control.

On the fiftieth day, you sought information about the authorities.

On the sixtieth day, the Safe Zone under your control was nearly bursting at the seams. Many people relied on your strength and depended on your rule. After considering it, you decided to conquer the nearby Safe Zones...

On the sixty-first day, the Great Fog...

You had originally planned to hide within the Safe Zone, but on a whim, you went outside and lost your sense of direction in the Great Fog. At a certain moment, you felt the Random Landing talent taking effect.

In the fog, you met a girl who had also lost her way.

Ten out of ten. That was the assessment you gave without hesitation upon seeing the girl's appearance.

After talking, you learned that her name was Qi Xiaoye. You shivered together in the Great Fog until you summoned the entrance to Avalon.

On the sixty-second day, Chen Keqing felt her position threatened by the unfamiliar beautiful girl you had picked up outside. But because she found Qi Xiaoye far too pretty and thought she had a good personality as well, Chen Keqing quickly surrendered...

But you began to suspect Qi Xiaoye's identity. You suspected that she was a Contained Object.

On the sixty-third day, you spent the entire day eavesdropping on Qi Xiaoye's thoughts, but you obtained little information. You only learned that she was a Tier 1 Awakened and did not possess a Word Spirit Technique...

On the sixty-fourth day, Qi Xiaoye said she understood your suspicions and hoped you would continue studying her, because she had forgotten her past and only remembered what happened after she met you in the Great Fog...

On the sixty-fifth day, Qi Xiaoye spent the entire day playing online games with Chen Keqing.

On the sixty-sixth day, they continued playing games.

On the sixty-seventh day, they played games.

On the sixty-eighth day, you lectured them and advised them not to play games all day. They felt guilty.

On the sixty-ninth day, they played games.

On the seventieth day, after getting beaten so badly by computer-controlled players that she flew into a rage, Qi Xiaoye said she would never play games again.

On the seventy-first day, they continued playing games...

What kind of useless beautiful girl was this...

The simulation content made Su Ze grumble inwardly.

After reading the simulation content from the first few days, he had thought that the Random Landing talent had truly accomplished something comparable to the Demon Contract.

It had picked up a great treasure for him.

He had always felt that the girl named Qi Xiaoye was hiding an astonishing secret.

But he had not expected her to become good sisters with Chen Keqing so quickly, becoming a pair of useless shut-in girls together...

"She was found in the Great Fog, and I even suspected she was a Contained Object."

Putting aside his urge to complain, Su Ze read through the simulation text again.

It was obvious.

The simulated version of himself had genuinely been suspicious of Qi Xiaoye's origins at the beginning.

But he had probably found nothing at all.

That was why the later simulation text only recorded trivial things...

Well...

It could not exactly be called trivial.

At the very least, after several days of entries, it was clear that the girl named Qi Xiaoye was terrible at games.

"Could it be that she's really just an ordinary girl who lost her memories because she encountered some terrifying creature in the Great Fog..."

Su Ze continued pondering.

But thinking could not resolve his doubts. Only continuing the simulation might do so...

On the seventy-second day, after Chen Keqing crushed her in several games with one hand, Qi Xiaoye reflected deeply and announced her retirement...

She began helping you research the formula for becoming a Tier 2 Awakened...
