"Did I have a miraculous encounter and become the protagonist?"
Feeling the surging Internal Energy within his body, Liu Sandao knew in an instant what he had encountered.
The legendary protagonist system—I'm definitely the protagonist!
Even third-rate online novels are a good way for college students to relieve boredom, and Liu Sandao was naturally familiar with them.
[Task: Raise two types of desires to 10 points or higher]
[Reward: 3 Internal Energy, martial arts skill: Burning Wood Saber Technique ]
The voice that continued to echo in his mind made Liu Sandao even more convinced that he had encountered a fortuitous event.
'Now that I've had this incredible adventure, I'm sure I'll be able to escape alive this time!'
The sucking sounds of the zombies still echoed in his ears, and Liu Sandao didn't forget that he was still in a predicament.
No matter how excited one is about their extraordinary adventure, the first thing to do is escape.
By observing the zombie's footsteps, Liu Sandao discovered that it was still standing at the doorway, and immediately decided to escape through the balcony where the zombie had entered.
He pressed both hands to the floor, his back against the bed frame.
The Internal Energy from the system instantly filled his body, making the usually heavy double bed feel much lighter.
'Seize the opportunity and press on with full force.'
Liu Sandao surveyed the zombie's location, then quickly ripped off the two layers of bedding covering him.
The steel-framed bunk bed slammed into the zombie, shoving it against the dormitory door.
Then Liu Sandao pushed hard, wedging the bed frame against the other bed, and quickly retreated.
This thing shouldn't be able to stop the zombie, but if it can only hold him off for a moment, he can escape through the broken balcony opening.
Sure enough, just as Liu Sandao turned around, he heard a creaking sound of metal twisting behind him, along with his roommate's groan.
"Damn it! Who pulled me out of bed?"
Liu Sandao's actions just now had already knocked his roommate off the bed to the ground, where he was now right next to the zombie.
Before he could utter another curse, the zombie's claws had already pierced through his body, then drained his blood.
"Sorry! Better to sacrifice your friends than me. I know the bed frame can't stop it, so I'll have to rely on you guys for help."
Ignoring the screams behind him, Liu Sandao rushed to the balcony entrance in two steps. After briefly observing that there was no danger, he immediately leaped out.
The zombies behind them watched as the fat sheep slipped away, but there were still a few unlucky guys in the dormitory—it was an eight-person dorm.
The scent of living people prevented it from chasing Liu Sandao; instead, it began to enjoy the feast of flesh and blood.
At the same time, the entire dormitory area of Z University was overrun by zombies.
Having escaped the dormitory, Liu Sandao, empowered by his Internal Energy, leaped across rooftops and avoided the scattered zombies he encountered along the way.
The joy of gaining a cheat ability was overshadowed by the screams of agony around him, and the hellish scene almost drove him to the brink of collapse.
"What on earth is going on? Why are there zombie monsters? Is what that post said true?"
"Is this the revenge of evil, or is the end of the world about to begin?"
Liu Sandao suddenly thought of the contents of that post, and his mind was completely in turmoil.
In the past, he would have just taken it all as a joke, but now that it was really happening before his eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
What should I do next?
Standing atop a viewing tree, Liu Sandao listened to the various cries of agony within the school and pondered his future.
But soon he realized that a mediocre student in his early twenties couldn't come up with anything at all.
"Whether it's the end of the world or demons getting rich overnight, I can't change anything."
"The only thing I'm certain of is that I have a system, which makes it easier for me to survive than for others."
"No, it's not just about surviving!"
Thinking of his cheat system, Liu Sandao's desires surged, and a surge of heroic spirit unexpectedly welled up within him.
"I will use my cheat-like abilities to become the king of this apocalypse, and even live a better life than before!"
Believing himself to be blessed with a divine mandate, Liu Sandao began to act according to his desires, step by step stepping into the abyss of desire.
Desire is a double-edged sword; if you can control it, it becomes power; if you drift with the tide, you will ultimately sink into the abyss.
Not only in Huaxia, but also throughout Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, all sorts of dark creatures, monsters from local legends, have appeared.
Initially, human casualties were heavy, but this situation began to reverse as modern armies took over the fighting.
However, while flesh-and-blood monsters can be annihilated using firearms, some supernatural monsters can only be fought using methods passed down through humankind.
Maoshan Arts, Lüshan Arts, Spirit Head Arts, exorcism by priests, and exorcism with holy water all gained a place and began to fight fiercely against ghosts and monsters.
Moreover, as time went on, the monsters grew stronger and stronger, and human order gradually collapsed.
Arson, murder, rape, and plunder—the evil of human nature is amplified infinitely in the end times; only the wicked can survive long in the end times.
Moreover, a special group of beings has emerged among humanity. They claim to be protected by the heavens and are the protagonists of this era. They begin to accumulate strength and rise to power in the apocalypse.
These people are called ' Desire Pursuers '.
Because some people have revealed that they only need to follow their desires to increase their strength, and even become extraordinary beings that are beyond the reach of humans.
Whether driven by evil thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, venting the animalistic desires within; or by righteous and glorious ideals, one must strive to be a savior in the end times.
In any case, everyone is influenced by the Seed of Desire, amplifying the desires in their hearts infinitely.
The Cabin in the Woods World, already brimming with desire and energy, is about to reach a critical point.
These forces, originating from humanity's purest emotions and reflecting the power of the Mind Stone, saw a large portion entering the bodies of demons underground, while the other portion was absorbed by the five thousand Seed of Desire scattered throughout the world.
These humans, who received the gift of Xu Xiao's power, transformed the energy of desire into their own sustenance through the conversion of the seeds.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that every gift of fate had already come with a price tag; they were merely tools for Xu Xiao to control his Dao of Desire.
Of course, even if they knew, there was nothing they could do. Under the machinations of those in high positions, all ordinary people could do was try to survive a little longer.
As time goes by, more than two months have passed since the Ancient God began their vengeance, and humanity has already been reduced to far too many in this apocalypse.
Faced with the threat of extinction, the last surviving humans decided to unite their strength and begin a desperate battle against the Ancient God hidden underground.
And this is also the beginning of the end for this world!
