The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

[Shintalia: What is the streamer playing? Is this a real-life escape room?]

[Second Master is here: They're putting on an act again, how boring.]

[Zhang Ergou, the dashing gentleman: Someone's not right, let me ask what's going on]

[Three Foxes: Are you stupid? How dare you ask such a question? We don't even know if the other party is friend or foe.]

……

Ye Xiao glanced at the comments casually before turning his attention back to the screen.

The apartment building was quite old, and the footsteps below were getting closer, soon reaching his floor.

"Hey, there's a smell over here!"

A somewhat high-pitched male voice rang out, and several footsteps moved toward the room next door where he had just gone in.

Judging from the footsteps, there seemed to be four people.

Two footsteps were light, two footsteps were heavy.

Ye Xiao leaned against the door, carefully listening to the sounds coming from next door.

"Hey, this way!"

"The mutated grasshopper is dead. Its seed core is gone. That kid was pretty good."

"Liang San, how many people do you think there are?"

A rough, hoarse voice slowly sounded, "There should only be one, otherwise they wouldn't have directed it to this place to resolve the issue."

"Stinky bitch!"

"what!"

A furious curse rang out, followed by a woman's scream of pain, and then a dragging sound.

"You dare say there's no one here? You dare lie to me! Looks like I haven't trained you enough!"

"Tell me, where is he?"

A soft, trembling voice rang out, "I really don't know, I only saw him for a moment, and then he was gone."

Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Was this the woman who had just reminded him?

These guys are looking for him? What do they want with him?

No, whatever their purpose may be, it certainly wasn't with a friendly attitude.

We must leave immediately!

Ye Xiao immediately peeked to the side and, seeing no one at the door, dashed towards the stairwell, leaping over a dozen steps and landing on the half-floor.

The group of people who heard the noise immediately chased after it.

"Damn it, that kid got away, hurry and chase him!"

A loud noise came from upstairs and rushed down. Ye Xiao didn't dare to stop at all, and didn't even bother to step on the stairs, so he just jumped.

Snapped!

Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the rusty iron handrail shattered with a clang, sending tiny metal fragments flying in all directions. Ye Xiao instinctively shrank his neck and covered his head.

Holy crap! These guys have guns!

Ye Xiao dared not linger for a moment and rushed out of the apartment building. In front of him was a courtyard of about 200 square meters, with a rusted iron gate lying on the ground on one side.

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao ran out. The narrow street was dark and gloomy, with huge climbing plants everywhere in the corners.

The figure ran wildly, turning several street corners without a care in the world, and rushed onto the main street.

Countless abandoned cars clogged the streets, and the ground was cracked into a spider web by wildly growing tree roots and vines, like green ghostly hands clinging tightly to the walls and the ground.

The air smelled of decay, yet also carried a fresh scent of grass, and even a sweet aroma.

All that could be seen was devastation, yet the vast expanse of greenery revealed a unique vitality.

After a moment of shock, Ye Xiao immediately rushed to the opposite street. Not knowing the specific situation, Ye Xiao did not dare to run around. After making sure he had run far enough and shaken off the group of people, Ye Xiao went into a dilapidated building.

I don't know if it's because of the security bars, but no plants have entered this small building, and the decay inside isn't as severe as in the previous apartment building.

Apart from the thick layer of dust, the leather sofa in the room was still exactly as it had been before.

Panting heavily, Ye Xiao dragged his tired legs over, casually brushed the dust off the sofa, and then slumped down on his backside.

call!

Ye Xiao let out a long breath, and the barrage of comments on one side kept jumping around, making it incredibly lively.

[Clear Sky: Holy crap, this really is the apocalypse, this is exciting!]

[Handsome young master: Look what treasure I've discovered!]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Were you just shouting that it was fake? Is this still fake?]

[Han Jiangxue: Holy crap, those guys have guns. Luckily, the streamer ran fast.]

[Second Master is here: It's just a set, an act, and people actually believe it.]

[Three Foxes: Ignore those who argue; he's the most clear-headed and intelligent person in the whole world.]

[A salted fish can't turn over: Why didn't the streamer save the person?]

……

Ye Xiao scrolled through the constantly scrolling comments and said speechlessly, "Am I out of my mind? They have guns, why would I go and pretend to be a big shot?"

"This isn't acting; risking your life to play a hero is just courting death."

After venting his frustration for a couple of minutes, Ye Xiao slumped back onto the sofa in a huff.

A gloomy look hung over Ye Xiao's face. Now that he relaxed, Ye Xiao realized a serious problem.

This apocalypse is far more dangerous than he anticipated.

There are people here, but they are not friendly.

No, wasn't it the same in the previous world?

Ye Xiao seemed to remember something and gave a sarcastic smile.

He sighed and said:

"This place is more dangerous than I imagined. The environment is terrible, the city is basically corrupt, and there are mutated monsters. The people here don't seem very friendly!"

"Damn, I'm getting hungry!"

Ye Xiao rubbed his stomach. Since he couldn't exchange food in the system's shop, he had to rely on himself.

Ye Xiao got up, looked around, and sighed, "Where are we supposed to find food in a place like this? There are other people outside, what if we run into them?"

Ye Xiao cautiously approached the window and peered out through the gaps in the stainless steel security bars. The outside world was still the same ghastly sight.

Shadows occasionally swept across the ground, and several figures emerged from a street corner in the distance.

Ye Xiao quickly moved to the side and hid behind the wall, secretly peeking out and quietly observing.

There were three men and one woman, all dressed like homeless people, their clothes tattered and layered, giving off a wasteland vibe.

The men's skin was tanned dark, and the three men carried a lot of things on their backs, jingling as they went.

One was bald, tall, with bulging muscles on his arms and an ordinary face; the other was short, with a pair of sunglasses on his dry, yellow hair, a silver chain around his neck, and a face pockmarked with bumps.

The other was of medium height and rather thin, with a face that looked like it had kidney deficiency, dark circles under its eyes, and triangular eyes that made it appear extremely gloomy.

What he was holding looked like a gun, but it wasn't the kind of gun Ye Xiao recognized.

That thing looks a lot like a gun, but there are some differences in its appearance; it must be a modified version.

The woman was wearing a ripped vest, and her exposed skin was covered with large bruises, including on her face and around her eyes, suggesting that she had suffered inhuman treatment.

She wore a collar around her neck with a chain attached, which was held in the gloomy man's hand as if she were a dog on a leash.
