Cang Xingyue carefully dodged the zombies and circled around the alley to the street in front of the dilapidated house, which was the only way to leave.

"I never expected that this dilapidated house would contain so many supplies."

In the cupboard of the small, dilapidated house, there was a white cloth stained with dirt. San San Yao lifted the cloth, revealing a large amount of supplies hidden underneath.

"Yeah, Sister San, let's hurry up and get ready, what if those zombies come back?"

Qiao Yushuang took off the two backpacks from her back, handed one to San San Yao, and looked back at the door, feeling a little worried.

The two voices made Cang Xingyue stop in her tracks. When she saw Qiao Yushuang looking over, she quickly hid behind a large wooden box and squatted down.

She glanced over discreetly.

The two men looked greedy as they stuffed supplies into their bags.

Cang Xingyue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disgust for the two of them.

"What's there to be afraid of? Those zombies are chasing that good-for-nothing and won't be back anytime soon. Besides, we're not like that good-for-nothing with no superpowers. What's there to be afraid of with just zombies?"

San San Yao kept calling Cang Xing Yue a piece of trash, feeling an endless sense of superiority because she was an ability user, and she was very smug.

"What Sister San San said is true. It will take some time for that good-for-nothing to be caught and eaten by the zombies."

Upon thinking of this, Qiao Yushuang's worried mood immediately relaxed.

Hearing their almost inhuman words, Cang Xingyue was filled with resentment and gripped the edge of the wooden box tightly.

They knew perfectly well that attracting zombies would kill her, yet they still forced her to do it despite having superpowers, and now they are saying such inhuman things without any remorse.

Cang Xingyue stared coldly at the two of them, while their conversation continued.

"With these supplies, we're guaranteed to win our bet against the three of them."

"Yes, yes, for the next month neither of us will need to risk going out to find supplies."

Before coming to find supplies, the five people made a bet: the side that found the most supplies could not go out to collect supplies for a month and would just have to wait for them to be readily available.

Hearing their words, Cang Xingyue sneered.

You want supplies? Well, I'll make things worse for you!

She was just about to stand up when a sudden wave of dizziness made her fall to the ground.

A strange electrical sound echoed in her mind, causing her to feel tinnitus and dizziness.

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind, but her vision seemed to be fogged up, and her head throbbed as if it were about to split open.

After a while, the discomfort disappeared, and my vision became clear again.

"Host locked, binding successful."

Who is it? Who is speaking?

Cang Xingyue looked around blankly, searching for the source of the sound.

The voice from before seemed to have heard her thoughts and replied, "Hello, host. I am the Post-Apocalyptic Survival System. I exist in your mind and consciousness. From now on, I will grow together with you."

"Survival system? What's it for?"

"Completing the tasks I assign you will earn you rewards, which will make you stronger in the apocalypse."

Hearing this self-proclaimed system say that it could make her stronger, Cang Xingyue couldn't help but be tempted.

"A beginner's mission is now being assigned to the host. Mission 1: Eliminate the zombies wandering around the area. The mission reward is a Blood Cherry Blade, the initial evolved weapon."

"Task 2: Obtain survival supplies. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a safe house."

These all sound like great rewards.

Cang Xingyue listened quietly as the system finished issuing the task. She used the wooden box as a support to stand up, when suddenly her hand slipped and she tore off a piece of paper.

She glanced at it and saw it was a seal on the wooden crate, which read "No Fire, Flammable".

Flammable?

Cang Xingyue stared at it for a moment, then raised her hand and lifted the lid of the wooden box.

It was filled with a whole box of red firecrackers.

She casually grabbed a firecracker, glanced at the two people in the dilapidated hut, a wicked smile appearing on her lips as she made up her mind.

Cang Xingyue grabbed several firecrackers, twisted their fuses together, then tore several fuses from the box and twisted them together to lengthen them. (Danger! Fictional content, do not imitate!)

In no time, they transformed the firecrackers to resemble a string of bright red chili peppers.

He pulled a lighter from his pocket, lit the fuse, and threw it towards the dilapidated shack. (Danger! Do not imitate!)

Qiao Yushuang pulled a teddy bear out of the cabinet, curled her lip in disgust, and tossed it behind her.

Just as the string of firecrackers was about to land in front of the dilapidated house, it was suddenly knocked back by a teddy bear that flew out from inside.

Cang Xingyue's eyes widened in shock; this turn of events was something she hadn't anticipated.

Just when it seemed the plan was about to fall through, suddenly, the firecrackers that had flown back changed direction and flew back towards the dilapidated house.

Cang Xingyue stared blankly as the firecrackers flew into the small, dilapidated house and exploded at the doorway.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of firecrackers rang out one after another.

The two people, who were focused on packing supplies, were so startled that their hands trembled and the bags fell to the ground with a thud, followed by their screams.

The firecrackers landed right at the doorway, blocking their way out, and San San Yao Qiao Yu Shuang could only run away inside the house with her head in her hands.

Cang Xingyue stared blankly at the exploding firecrackers, raising an eyebrow.

They really deserved to be bombed; they couldn't escape at all.

At this moment, the group of zombies that had just gone to chase Cang Xingyue, as well as the zombies wandering nearby, were all attracted by the sound, and in no time the small dilapidated house was surrounded.

"Ah! Sister San! Look!"

When Qiao Yushuang saw the zombies pouring into the dilapidated house, she was so frightened that she grabbed San San Yao and frantically slapped her arm to warn her.

San San Yao angrily pulled her arm back and said, "Qiao Yu Shuang, are you asking for it?! I... I'm going to..."

"Hurry up and attack! What are you all standing there for!"

A blue light appeared in San San Yao's eyes, and the zombies that had entered the house instantly seemed to be hypnotized, all remaining still. She controlled the zombies to walk to the door and block the zombies that continued to pour in from behind.

Due to his limited abilities, San San Yao only managed to control ten zombies.

Qiao Yushuang immediately used her superpower, and seven silver strings wrapped around the necks of the seven zombies. With a forceful wave of her hand, the zombies' necks were strangled and their heads fell to the ground.

The two worked together to kill most of the zombies, and when there were only five left, Qiao Yushuang stopped.

"I can't take it anymore, Sister San, I've used up all my superpowers."

"Useless! You let us down at the crucial moment!"

San San Yao struggled to control the only five zombies he had, while also sensing that his supernatural abilities were about to run out.

She used her last bit of supernatural power to control the zombies and make them leave through the doorway.

"Run!"

San San Yao ran out of the small, dilapidated house first, followed closely by Qiao Yu Shuang.

The zombies, now out of control of their powers, immediately gave chase.

Cang Xingyue, hiding behind the wooden box, had been silently watching the two of them.

After they ran far away, she immediately rushed into the hut and picked up the two backpacks containing supplies from the ground.
