Apocalyptic Sequence

Chapter 14 The Apocalypse Arrives!

The apocalypse is about to break out!

Lu Fan shuddered and hurriedly got out of bed.

The first thing I do after getting up is to go to the window and observe outside to see if a zombie outbreak has occurred.

Because the doors and windows were boarded up, Lu Fan could only observe the situation outside through the gaps in the boards.

Outside the window, all was peaceful. The breakfast shop was full of customers, with all sorts of students getting ready for class, and office workers hurriedly munching on their bread while waiting for the bus at the bus stop.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, as if the apocalyptic crisis was a joke.

But Lu Fan knew one thing well: the apocalypse could break out at any time.

So he decided not to go downstairs for breakfast, but instead took out instant noodles from the closet and paired them with two sausages.

Boil water, cook noodles, and eat sausages and instant noodles while Lu Fan quietly observes the view outside the window.

At this moment, he was like a forgotten observer of the world, quietly watching the world's changes.

Time passed quietly, and when the clock struck ten, just as Lu Fan yawned.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the breakfast shop downstairs. An office worker opened his eyes wide and bit the owner who was standing right next to him. People nearby rushed forward to try to pull him away, but they were also bitten on the finger.

"Aaaaaah!"

The screams reached the top of the building. Because Lu Fan's floor was low and he was facing the entrance of the breakfast shop, he witnessed the entire incident clearly.

"The apocalypse has begun!"

Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked elsewhere.

Sure enough, among the students waiting for the bus at the bus stop, someone mutated and bit the person next to them, and blood stained everyone's clothes in an instant.

"The proportion of cases that mutated..."

Lu Fan immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down the scene.

Through his observations, he discovered that about 30% of the people had mutated into zombies.

In other words, three out of ten people will turn into zombies.

This is an extremely terrifying proportion. You should know that zombies can also spread the virus by biting people. In the early stages of a crisis, if not handled properly, it can quickly cause a large-scale spread of the virus.

The breakfast shop right across from the building is a perfect example.

After the initial riot, the commuter who bit someone was subdued by several people working together, but they did not notice that the person next to him who was bitten also began to foam at the mouth and roll his eyes upward.

The next moment, these bitten people seemed to go mad, pouncing on the humans around them and biting them as they went.

Lu Fan peeked through the crack in the window and silently noted down important information:

"The time from being bitten to the outbreak of the virus..."

"About ten minutes."

"The virus is spreading too fast!"

Lu Fan sighed. The zombie virus was more terrifying than he had imagined, and its transmission speed was astonishing.

The first infection can be completed in ten minutes. Then, the infected person carries the zombie virus and continues to infect other healthy humans, spreading the virus like dominoes.

No wonder the Eastern Federation is trying to block the news. This virus is too contagious. Once it is made public, human society will fall into chaos and be unable to organize effective military measures.

Only by preserving the army first, then slowly clearing out the zombies, and rescuing the survivors can we succeed.

Only in this way can humanity have hope of surviving the end times.

Under Lu Fan's watchful gaze, the breakfast shop quickly turned into a zombie den, with zombies shaking their heads as they rushed out and charged at the other surviving humans.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately ran into the building, seeking refuge in a safe house.

Amid the turmoil, Lu Fan, hiding upstairs in a safe house, actually had more opportunities to think things through.

By the way, do zombies also have souls?

Realizing this, Lu Fan hurriedly took out the 'High-Sensitivity Telescope' from his backpack. This Tier 1 sealed artifact could see the souls of living beings and had excellent reconnaissance capabilities.

Holding the binoculars in front of his eyes, Lu Fan looked towards the breakfast shop.

The next second, ferocious and terrifying zombies came into view. Lu Fan saw that on their backs, there was a soul wrapped in white bandages, constantly howling.

Sure enough, zombies have souls too!

The only difference is that the soul of a zombie is different from that of an ordinary person. It is completely separated from the body, but it is not far away from the body. Instead, it is bound to the back with white bandages, just like an ancient mummy.

The zombie's body became a cage, imprisoning its original soul?

Lu Fan silently guessed the reason from this sign.

To verify this, Lu Fan turned to look at the campus of Jinling University and used binoculars to observe the situation on campus.

Because the infection outbreaks occurred at the same instant, Jinling University was thrown into chaos as large numbers of zombies attacked healthy people, gradually infecting students and turning them into new zombies.

He hoped the class monitor would heed his advice and not attend the large group of students in the public lectures... Lu Fan muttered to himself. The next second, he shifted his gaze to the subway station.

The subway station has been overrun by zombies, and the ground is covered in blood.

Human transportation hubs have also been severed, and from now on, the people in each city can only try to protect themselves.

The only hope is that the Eastern Federation's army can clear the zombies from the city as soon as possible and then enter the city to rescue the survivors.

At that moment, he noticed some zombies looking up at his house.

Oops!

Lu Fan realized that the high-sensitivity telescope had a side effect, attracting the attention of ghostly creatures. So, he hurriedly put the telescope back into his backpack. Sure enough, after he did all this, the zombies downstairs turned back and continued searching for surviving humans.

The side effects of sealed artifacts should not be underestimated; sometimes they can even kill you... Lu Fan remained silently vigilant.

Next, he wrote down all the zombie information he observed in his notebook.

At this moment, messages kept popping up on the phone's chat group. It was the tenants' group for this building. Some people hiding inside had witnessed everything and were frantically sending messages:

"Oh my god, how did they turn into zombies?"

"These zombies can bite, just like in the movies, and their contagiousness is terrifying!"

"It's over, this is the end of the world!"

"Luckily I had something to do and didn't go downstairs, otherwise I would have turned into a zombie too!"

Lu Fan glanced at the chat and saw that the tenant group was full of pessimistic messages. Every tenant was frantically venting their emotions, and most of the chat content was of no value.

After only a glance, Lu Fan closed the tenant group chat.

By evening, these people should have calmed down, and then they'll realize the food problem...

Lu Fan remained silent, not participating in the tenants' group chat, and continued to observe the outside world.

Time passed quietly.

An hour later, the commotion outside the window gradually subsided. Unable to find any surviving humans, the zombies began to wander aimlessly, forming an impenetrable moat around the building.

At this moment, Lu Fan boldly put on his fencing uniform and took out the Tang sword from his wardrobe.

Upon reaching the door, I peered through the peephole into the hallway and, sure enough, there were two zombies wandering around outside.

[Warning: Low-level zombies ahead, please treat them casually!]

Lu Fan gripped his Tang sword, preparing to attempt to hunt down the zombies.

Since he possessed the player panel, Lu Fan wanted to test whether killing zombies would grant him experience points, similar to fighting monsters in a game.

If you can gain experience points, then the zombies outside will be a constant source of experience points!
