Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Thinking of this, Alex gritted his teeth and kicked at the zombie king once more.

"Bang!"

"Ah!" Alex screamed as the zombie king's tail struck his knee, rendering his entire leg numb.

At that moment, Alex saw stars and almost fainted.

Taking a deep breath, Alex forced his eyes open and charged at the zombie king again.

Unfortunately, before he could get close to the zombie king, a powerful gust of wind hit him head-on, sending Alex flying uncontrollably.

"Crash—"

Alex slammed into the wall and then fell to the ground.

By now, the zombie king had already closed in on him.

Alex's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, he took out a [Benevolent Healer].

Alex closed his eyes and pressed the [Benevolent Healer] to his lips.

"Buzz…"

In an instant, a warm stream of energy flowed from the [Benevolent Healer] into Alex's body, filling him with a soothing sensation that made him feel almost euphoric.

Alex suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the zombie king with a cruel smile.

"Roar!"

Seeing Alex's strange smile, the zombie king growled lowly and charged at him with its massive body.

Alex's eyes narrowed. He immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards the zombie king.

"Bang!"

They collided, and Alex was knocked to the ground.

Immediately after, Alex felt a violent force erupting from the zombie king's body.

"Pffft—" Alex spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"Roar—" The zombie king let out an excited roar and lunged at Alex again, intending to tear him apart and devour him.

"Boom!"

At this critical moment, a huge sound came from the sky. Then, several bolts of lightning struck down, all hitting the zombie king's head.

"Crackle…"

Suddenly, arcs of electricity flickered, causing the zombie king's body to stiffen before it slowly slumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Alex's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

"Hahaha, everything is on my side!" Alex laughed. "Looks like today is my lucky day!"

Although Alex didn't understand what had just happened, it didn't dampen his happiness. As long as he survived, he would eventually figure out the reason behind it.

"Boom…"

"Roar!"

A few more bolts of lightning struck down, causing the zombie king's body to convulse violently. Finally, its body ceased all movement.

At the same time, a milky white transparent crystal slowly floated into the air.

Seeing this, Alex reached out and caught the transparent crystal.

"Is this the crystal core?" Alex paused, carefully examining the crystal in his hand.

The crystal was pure white, crystal clear, with a faint milky white liquid visible inside.

"Huh? It really does look like a crystal core…" Alex murmured.

He recalled that in his impression, a crystal core should look like this.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task [Kill the Zombie King], you have received 1000 doomsday coins." The system's notification sounded in Alex's ears.

Just as Alex was feeling pleased,

the system notification sounded again.

"Ding! An unknown virus has been detected. Please purify the virus as soon as possible."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Alex was stunned, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "So, no matter where I go, danger is unavoidable?"

Alex's earlier joy was due to completing the task and receiving a reward of 1000 doomsday coins.

Moreover, the task had given him a new skill—virus purification.

"System, are you sure this task is to purify the virus?" Alex asked.

"Beep!"

The system replied, "Beep! This system does not make mistakes. The host must purify the virus."

"Alright then, I'll give it a try," Alex sighed.

This time, Alex chose not to leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to cultivate.

"System, help me exchange for a healing potion," Alex ordered.

"Beep! 2000 doomsday coins deducted, 4000 doomsday coins remaining."

Soon, a small blue vial appeared before Alex.

He uncorked the bottle, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out.

Alex took a gentle sniff, instantly feeling invigorated. He felt as if he could punch a bull to death with one blow.

"Good stuff," Alex thought to himself, amazed.

Alex quickly drank the potion.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Alex consumed the potion, a dazzling light burst forth in the air.

"What is this?" Alex frowned slightly and quickly covered his eyes, not daring to look.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Boom!"

The next second, a surge of immense power swept through Alex's body. Alex felt his mind clear, entering a strange and wonderful state.

In no time, the power subsided, and Alex abruptly opened his eyes.

"Hiss—" Alex exhaled deeply, feeling warm all over.

Your adventure continues at empire

Suddenly, an arc of electricity sliced through the air and struck Alex.

In an instant, a searing pain spread throughout his body.

"Damn it!"

Alex couldn't help but curse. He quickly focused his mental energy to resist the intense pain.

After about three minutes, the severe pain gradually faded.

"Refreshing!" Alex took a deep breath, his eyes becoming even sharper.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a roar echoed from afar, and a robust black bear charged towards Alex.

"Hmph!" Alex snorted coldly. He pushed off the ground with his right foot, launching himself into the air, and delivered a fierce kick to the black bear's abdomen.

"Boom!"

The black bear crashed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, a green light flashed, and a sharp dagger appeared in Alex's hand.

The dagger gleamed with a cold light, clearly made from special materials.

"Whoosh!"

The dagger flew out of his hand like a shooting star, piercing through the black bear's neck and then its head, embedding itself into the ground.

As the black bear died, a thumb-sized crystal core floated to the surface.

"It can actually purify the zombie's bloodline and restore their humanity?" Alex was dumbfounded.

Alex's guess was correct. The crystal cores mentioned by the system were identical to the ones used by superhumans, but the system required crystal cores from zombies, whereas the superhuman crystal cores were meant for ordinary people.

"If that's the case, then I'll keep killing zombies until I purify all their bloodlines." A devilish smile curved at the corners of Alex's mouth.

With that, Alex continued his hunt for zombies, wielding his dagger. Each time he killed a zombie, he would consume a vial of the Purification Spring.
