Apocalypse: System of lotteries



"White lab coat?"

"Deep orange eyes?"

Upon receiving the information from the frogs, Ming drank two more potions of mental and physical strength to stay awake.

He then checked the progress of his mission:

[Final BOSS]

[Regular Monsters]

"..."

Ming looked at Frank, realizing that he was merely a sidekick. He got up, preparing for a new battle. As he walked, he sniffed the air and put Raoul and the others into his spatial storage.

It was best not to reveal too much before meeting the BOSS. He should stick to the most cautious and unexpected battle tactics as always.

Sniff sniff~

He didn't seem to smell anything special.

Achoo——

Ming sneezed, probably because dust had entered his nose during the fight.

Achoo———

"..."

"Something's not right!!"

Ming instantly became alert. The inhaling dust could not explain three consecutive sneezes, and most importantly, he felt a bit of congestion. If his nose was congested, it couldn't just be explained by dust inhalation.

"No, this doesn't feel right!"

"!!!"

He suddenly realized that his mental and physical strength was rapidly declining, and an unanticipated soreness and weakness was engulfing his entire body. This was certainly not the result of a few sneezes triggered by a little dust!

run!

Ming immediately made a decision - fleeing was the best course of action. At the same time, he recalled the information from the frogs, that the 4-star Emperor-level zombie was toxic all over. Perhaps, even before they met, the toxins emanating from its body had started to take effect.

Was it bold to speculate that the transmission was through the air?

Since the underground space was already filled with unknown toxins, the only option was to return to the surface and find the frogs.

[Your Merlin is hugging Da Vinci and Foodie, who is shaking and too weak to crawl. While providing them warmth, she comforts them, saying "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you~"]

[Da Vinci and Foodie look at Merlin, appreciating having a sister. They think she's just like the sweethearts from the legends~]

"..."

Following the route of the frogs, Ming immediately dashed into the safe passage. The moment he opened the door, he collided face to face with the creature in a white lab coat, wearing a mask, with eyes flickering deep orange.

They locked gazes, and the air fell silent.

Smack!

Ming threw a slap, then quickly turned invisible, taking advantage of the situation before handling what comes next.

Once invisible, he immediately rushed to the lower level, found the three frogs, and put them in his pocket with gloved hands. even though It was a dangerous moment, and he could not afford to touch Merlin directly.

The frog had just integrated a new poison. Direct contact was risky at this point, and after being poisoned, the orange-eyed zombie would likely kill him while he was defenseless.

The five seconds of invisibility could not be wasted.

At this moment, the slapped zombie was still standing at the entrance of the passage, stunned. It looked around, covering its face.

Smack!

Another slap landed on its face, and before it could react, it felt a prick in its arm and fell into a hallucination.

"Earned another slap."

Ming's invisibility wore off immediately. Even if he didn't hit the creature, the invisibility would have ended anyway, so he couldn't waste any skill. Wasting was disgraceful.

[Weakness: Unknown]

"Darn, it! Why is everything unknown?"

"Pay up!"

While it fell into a hallucination, Ming handed over a potion, activated  [Fancy Footwork], and ran away.

Hidden Level BOSS!

His first encounter!

Eagle Eye could only reveal part of its information. Now wasn't the time for a prolonged fight. Da Vinci and Foodie were in poor shape, both vomiting and suffering from diarrhea. They were severely poisoned. He needed to take care of them before anything else.

His mental and physical strength was draining at a rapid pace. He could only wait for the negative effects to pass before fighting.

...

Smith stood, disheartened, amidst the ruins caused by the missile blast. He looked at the exposed cave that had been blown open by the cannonball. That person must be... dead, right?

Considering he wasn't the most unfortunate one, he felt a little consoled.

Upon this realization, he began to review the supplies in his warehouse. He should be able to hold on till the end of the third chapter, by which time this instance should disappear, and he could go home...

Then, a buzz echoed in his head... if the instance disappears? Would he disappear along with it?

"..."

Smith took a swig of his drink, his brows knitted in thought.

Clang!

At that moment, he saw the man rush out of the cave and close the large door behind him, only to turn and sprint towards Smith.

"He isn't dead?"

Smith was inexplicably thrilled. The guy was actually alive.

Boom!

Subsequently, the cave door was smashed open by a huge force, and a horde of zombie soldiers rushed out like a flood, all of them with luminescent blue eyes.

"Holy cow!!"

Smith turned and sprinted. Not only did the guy survive, but he also even led a pack of lively creatures toward him. It seemed as though he was being sent to his death!

Roar Roar Roar!!!

Listening to the zombie howls behind him, Ming did not turn back but continued sprinting. He hadn't expected Dr. Cardel to summon frenzied foot soldiers, and all of them were at the five-star lord level.

There was no threat, those guys were just money to him.

After settling the frogs, he could return to count his money.

"That guy can run!"

He glanced at Smith, who was sprinting ahead with his arms swinging wildly. He was so fast, had he invested all his attribute points into agility?

"Raoul, cover our retreat."

"Kyomoto Jiro, cooperate!"

With these words, Raoul flapped his wings and charged toward the frenzied zombie soldiers. Like a full-speed train hitting a horde of zombies, sending zombies flying wherever he passed. With a punch to the left and a slap to the right, not a single one could get close to him.

Kyomoto Jiro, like a giant rolling stone, charged and then leaped into the zombie horde, causing either death or severe injury to the zombies.

"Don't kill them all, damn it!"

Ming, who had run a distance away, turned back and yelled. It was the first time Kyomoto Jiro had joined in cooperative combat. Although it was the first and his overzealousness was understandable, he still needed to be scolded. 

[Puppet Kyomoto Jiro feels that your scolding is justified and will work doubly hard...]

[Puppet Kyomoto Jiro bows to you in gratitude for your instruction...]

[…]

Ming continued to run while drinking his stamina and energy potions. He was contemplating the zombie from the underground research facility in the military base, who had abilities that caused sneezing, nasal congestion, and general weakness. Hence, it could be determined that this zombie was researching viruses.

At present, the most important thing was to maintain a high level of energy and physical strength and absolutely not allow it to bottom out.

Reflecting on his past battles with different bosses, those that depleted energy and stamina usually triggered the special talent or other hidden abilities when those stats reached zero.

Therefore, absolutely no bottoming out.
