[Let's open a brain storage facility...]
The game world gradually becomes more complex, and the female protagonist is an ordinary person who grows step by step, unlike traditional strong female protagonists.
So thirsty...
Fang Jiaojiao, dressed in a gray short-sleeved suit, lay stiffly on the wooden floor of the living room, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She hadn't had a drop of water for three days; her lips were terribly cracked, and her throat was constantly sore.
The dripping sound from the kitchen faucet was stimulating my nerves, which were on the verge of collapse.
She didn't understand why her peaceful and beautiful life had suddenly changed so drastically in just a few days.
Just a week ago, she was a sophomore majoring in forensic medicine at a prestigious medical university in Z University.
The news of the plane crash that killed his parents while they were on vacation shattered the tranquility of summer.
She walked out of the counselor's office in a daze, not even having heard what the teacher had just said; she only knew that she had to go back quickly.
I rushed back to my dorm to pack my things and booked a ticket home, but all I got back from the funeral home were two cold, lifeless boxes.
Fang Jiaojiao couldn't believe that her parents, who had been video chatting with her just the day before, had now turned into two cold wooden boxes.
She sat at home for two days, holding her parents' ashes, without eating or drinking.
Looking at the relatives who kept coming to inquire about the compensation and who were openly and secretly eyeing the house, Fang Jiaojiao felt exhausted.
She locked the house, took her parents' ashes and a few simple clothes, and returned alone to her rural hometown.
After paying someone to bury his parents next to his grandparents' graves, he tidied up the old house and settled down in his hometown.
The school arranged for her to take a temporary leave of absence. Her counselor, knowing her situation, did not make things difficult for her. Instead, she comforted her and told her to rest more.
She locked up her computer and phone, and only tidied up the small yard, planting vegetables and weeding the land.
Fang Jiaojiao had been enjoying these comfortable days without any disturbance for almost half a month, and she originally thought she could continue living like this forever.
Unexpectedly, the food in the house was corroded and spoiled by unknown mold in just one night.
Not only are open foods contaminated, but even sealed canned goods and food stored in the refrigerator are all inedible.
Besides the food being inedible, the water sources were also completely polluted.
The water in the tap and the well in the backyard had all turned a terrifying black.
With no other option, Fang Jiaojiao took her phone and some change and went to the town's supermarket to buy some food. Only then did she learn from the people around her that the food and water in the vicinity had also been contaminated.
Realizing something was wrong, she took out her phone and opened her social media app. Sure enough, her WeChat Moments were full of complaints about food and water spoiling overnight.
Social media was in an uproar over this, and the network even experienced delays and crashes.
Unable to buy food, she bid farewell to the elderly people gathered at the village entrance and returned to her small courtyard alone, drawing pitying glances from behind.
Along the way, all the trees and plants that could be seen with the naked eye had mysteriously withered and died, and even the birdsong and insect chirping in the woods behind the mountain had disappeared.
Such a serious and bizarre thing, could it be that the end of the world is coming?
...
It really is the end of the world.
Fang Jiaojiao swallowed with difficulty; her dry throat, instead of being moistened by saliva, felt painfully scraped.
I haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days.
Her stomach had long since stopped growling because she was so hungry, but the dryness and discomfort in her throat constantly reminded her that she would die if she didn't drink water soon.
She struggled to her feet, her limbs limp and weak, and staggered to the kitchen, leaning on the furniture for support.
Looking at the black water droplets dripping onto the snow-white plate, Fang Jiaojiao's throat bobbed, and she reached out to tighten the dripping faucet.
This water is undrinkable.
There are quite a few people on social media who couldn't stand drinking this water and have done so, but so far no one has posted any comments online after finishing it.
The official announcement also stated that the cause of the disaster is being actively investigated.
only,
How many more days can I survive without water?
In such a sweltering summer heat, without water and food, many people must have already died.
As Fang Jiaojiao lay back down on the floor, her eyelids gradually grew heavy.
So tired.
Am I sleepy, or... am I going to die...?
[Ding! The global survival game 'Apocalypse Survival' is now live! Players, please selectively bind your accounts!]
⑻вοΟK. Сом
[Bind your account to enter the game.]

game?
The voice that suddenly rang in her mind jolted Fang Jiaojiao awake from her drowsiness.
[Game countdown in three seconds. Please confirm your account binding and log in as soon as possible.]
[three...]
"Bind".
[Player has linked their account to the game; skill draws are now available for you.]
[Skill successfully obtained. Now teleporting to the game world—]
Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed before her eyes, forcing Fang Jiaojiao to close her eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a toilet stall.
The wooden boards on both sides of the cubicle stretched from the floor all the way to the ceiling, and the toilet seat under the buttocks was so white it reflected light.
The toilet door was locked, which ensured good privacy.
Just as Fang Jiaojiao was looking around, the system's mechanical voice sounded in her mind again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully drawing the skill: Copy (1/10)]
[Ding! New player gift pack successfully distributed. Congratulations on obtaining unlimited space binding!]
[Note: In this era of rapid development, skyscrapers are gradually covering the land, and the territory where plants live is shrinking rapidly. Seeing their territory dwindling, the plants have decided to fight back.]
[New Player World Quest: Survive for thirty days.]
A barrage of information flooded her mind as Fang Jiaojiao fumbled for the transparent bracelet that had suddenly appeared on her wrist while rapidly analyzing the data.
According to the system, a crisis is about to occur in this world, and my task is to survive these thirty days.
Only by surviving can you pass a level in the game.
The plants' counterattack?
Is this crisis related to plants?
How can plants retaliate?
With a thought in mind, the bracelet on my wrist was successfully turned on.
A clean and simple personal panel appeared instantly.
Name: Fang Jiaojiao
Age: 20
Skill: Copy (1/10)
Space Backpack: ∞
So this bracelet is already connected to a backpack, meaning I can store my items in it?
Fang Jiaojiao glanced around and took the toilet paper roll out of the tissue box next to the toilet and put it close to her wristband.
The toilet paper vanished in an instant, and a small number appeared in the space backpack section.
It turns out it displays the number of items in the backpack.
As I brought my finger close to the bracelet, a boundless space instantly appeared in my mind.
The toilet paper rolls that had just been thrown in were stored in this empty space, looking particularly shabby.
You can see inside the backpack by placing your finger close to it, which makes finding things quite convenient.
Just as Fang Jiaojiao was about to close the bracelet after exiting her backpack, she suddenly noticed a tiny white dot flashing in the upper right corner of the skill screen.
She reached out and tapped the white dot, and then a densely packed skill description popped up.
Skill: Copy (1/10)
Skill proficiency: 0/30
It can duplicate any item it touches and has a 10% chance to improve the item's quality.
PS: The skill has a 1-hour cooldown and can be used three times per day.
Proficiency is zero, level is one.
It seems this skill is upgraded through use.

The small white dot next to the skill description was so faint that it almost blended into the background. If I hadn't noticed it slowly flashing, I might have missed the description altogether.
It seems this system is really a bit of a rip-off for players.
If you just throw people in without any introduction, players probably wouldn't even know that skill upgrades exist if they didn't see the skill descriptions.
Fang Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and used the copy skill on the bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet remained completely still.
Well, as expected.
Fang Jiaojiao took out the roll of paper from the system space and activated her skill again.
After a flash of white light, the roll of toilet paper in my hand turned into two.
Watching the half-bucket of toilet paper being copied and transformed into a complete bucket, Fang Jiaojiao was unusually silent.
Is this a way to increase the quality of items with a certain probability?
I didn't expect the probability to trigger so easily, but what about the quality?
Touching the toilet paper rolls that had become even more intact and soft after being copied, Fang Jiaojiao threw both rolls of paper back into the system space, then pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.
I didn't hear any noise outside when I checked my system bracelet just now, so I guess I'm the only one in this bathroom for now.
I went to the sink, washed my face with water, and tidied my hair and clothes.
Looking at the clear, cool water droplets splashing on the sink, Fang Jiaojiao simply wet a tissue with water to moisten her dry lips, still choosing not to drink the tap water from this unfamiliar world.
Although this world looks exactly the same as the original one, an unknown disaster is about to strike.
Until we know what the disaster is, we must remain vigilant.
However... we should still take advantage of any opportunities to profit.
Fang Jiaojiao took all the toilet paper from each stall and threw it into her spatial storage before leaving the restroom, satisfied.
As soon as I stepped out of the restroom, a pleasant fragrance wafted into my nose.
This is... osmanthus?!
Fang Jiaojiao cautiously circled the small park outside the restroom, becoming even more wary after not seeing any osmanthus trees among the greenery.
The fragrance of osmanthus flowers usually doesn't travel this far, does it?
This disaster is again related to plants. Could it be... fragrance?
Fang Jiaojiao quickly retreated to the toilet, and was about to tear off a corner of her clothes to make a makeshift mask when the cleaning lady pushed her cart in.
Under the questioning gaze of the cleaning lady, Fang Jiaojiao calmly put down the corner of her clothes, walked to her side, and turned on the tap to wash her hands.
"Sister, you know what, this osmanthus tree is really well-grown, and it smells quite nice!"
"A fragrance? I didn't smell anything."
Auntie was slightly surprised to hear Fang Jiaojiao speak, but she readily agreed.
Can't you smell it?
The strong fragrance of osmanthus outside the restroom is undeniable, especially since I'm a forensic scientist and my nose is more sensitive than most people's.
Is your nose more sensitive than most people's?
With her eyes slightly lowered, Fang Jiaojiao casually turned off the tap.
"Sigh, maybe it's because my nose has always been more sensitive than others since I was little. It's a pity that I forgot to wear a mask when I went out to get medicine for my rhinitis today, and the smell of this fragrance is really hard for my nose to bear."
8boOk.com
"Is that so?"
Seeing Fang Jiaojiao's pitiful appearance as she kept rubbing her nose, the cleaning lady rummaged through her toolbox and pulled out two unopened face masks.
"I have a few more masks here. You can take them if you don't mind."
"No, no, you've helped me so much, how could I possibly mind? Thank you so much."
Fang Jiaojiao quickly took the mask from her aunt's hand, thanking her repeatedly with a sweet smile.
The aunt waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing, then turned around and took her tools to clean the toilet stalls.
Fang Jiaojiao took off her mask, put it on, and walked out of the restroom again.
I don't know if it's because of the game's settings, but after putting on a mask, I couldn't smell the strong, cloying fragrance at all.
Fang Jiaojiao reached out and touched the ordinary mask on her face to confirm that she really couldn't smell anything. She then walked out of the small park and headed towards the street not far away.
It's pretty much confirmed that the world's disasters will be related to smells, so I need to find a way to stock up on masks and other items just in case.
After walking only a few dozen meters along the commercial street, Fang Jiaojiao found a clinic. Just as she was about to walk toward the clinic, a person was pushed out of the convenience store next to her.
Strangely, no matter how much the store manager pushed and shoved him and said rude things, the person being pushed out just kept eating bread and drinking water, showing no intention of paying the bill.
"What the hell is this? I ran into a crazy person trying to dine and dash on my first day of work. Are you so desperate that you're trying to eat and dash at a convenience store? Aren't you afraid of choking to death? Pah!"
The convenience store staff saw that no matter what they said, the man remained unmoved, so they had no choice but to grumble and go back into the store, ignoring him.
After all, it's really unnecessary to call the police over a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.
This sudden event instantly alerted Fang Jiaojiao.
She originally thought of this place as a game world, so she naturally thought of going to the pharmacy to get masks and other things she needed, but she overlooked the fact that this world was also functioning normally.
Before disaster strikes, everything in this world requires money to purchase.
This is a difficult situation. If they go in and forcibly rob us, we'll probably be in jail within two hours.
Looking up at the surveillance camera, which was exactly the same as the one in the original world, Fang Jiaojiao turned around and left the commercial street.
We still need to find a way to make some money, and we also need to find a way to solve our accommodation and food problems. We can't keep going hungry and sleeping under bridges.
What Fang Jiaojiao didn't know was that at this moment, the police station had already detained quite a few game players who had been arrested for robbery and assault.
These players, instead of being afraid after being arrested, kept shouting at the NPCs in police uniforms to release them, claiming they were there to save the world.
"These people don't seem to be in a good mental state. So many people having an attack at the same time, could it be a pyramid scheme?"
As the situation escalated out of control, the police officer's expression instantly turned serious.
These players, who were originally supposed to be released after three days of detention, were detained in the police station for a full week due to the police's suspicious questioning and confirmation that they had nothing to do with pyramid schemes before being released.
The players who were finally released were completely deflated after realizing that the game was not a lawless place.
They dared not rob anymore and could only try every means to fill their stomachs and stop going hungry.
After all, all the food in the original world had spoiled and was inedible, so going hungry was a last resort.
Entering the game world and seeing a dazzling array of delicious food but being hungry is truly frustrating.
...
Fang Jiaojiao has been walking for two whole hours since she took down the job posting.
She glanced at the makeshift map she'd gotten from a passerby, and knowing she had no money, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue toward her destination.
After walking for another hour without eating or drinking, Fang Jiaojiao was moved to tears as she looked at the buildings in the distance.

Fang Jiaojiao threw the flyer in her hand into the trash can next to her, and her expression relaxed considerably as she saw hope.
The flyer in the trash can was blown over by the wind, and it clearly read 'Funeral home seeking body carriers'.
Funeral home is hiring body carriers:
Day shift 800, night shift 1000
Meals and accommodation included, utilities all covered. Only those with a strong birth chart are eligible.
...
As soon as I stepped into the funeral home, the security guard immediately came to greet me.
"Woman, what are you doing here?"
"Uncle, I'm here for a job interview. Is the boss in?"
"Applying for a job?"
The gatekeeper was clearly surprised, his eyes lingering on Fang Jiaojiao's slender figure, and even his tone became somewhat complicated.
"Woman, we're only hiring corpse movers these days, you…"
Sensing the hesitation in the security guard's words, Fang Jiaojiao spoke up decisively.
"I'm here to apply for a job as a corpse mover. Uncle, could you take me to see the boss? Thank you so much, Uncle. You're such a kind person."
"This...okay...okay. Come with me."
Fang Jiaojiao's numerous "good guy" cards left the security guard unable to refuse.
With no other option, he closed the security booth door and led Fang Jiaojiao into the building next door.
"This is it, go in."
The security guard led Fang Jiaojiao up to the third floor and pointed out the door to her.
Fang Jiaojiao thanked the security guard and walked straight over.
Knock knock knock—
"Please come in."
Fang Jiaojiao pushed open the door upon hearing the sound and went in. The person inside looked up at Fang Jiaojiao and then turned to look behind her, their eyes full of doubt.
Fang Jiaojiao remained calm in the face of the questioning gaze from the person at the desk. She gently closed the door behind her, took off her mask, and went to the desk.
"Hello boss, I'm here to apply for a job as a corpse mover."
Although he had some guesses, the boss was still somewhat surprised after hearing what Fang Jiaojiao said.
"Well... young lady, we're hiring body handlers here, which means they have to be in close contact with corpses."
The boss phrased it tactfully, but the meaning behind his words was very clear.
Fang Jiaojiao was not disappointed and continued to introduce herself.
"I'm a forensic pathologist, so I'm not afraid of corpses, so you can rest assured about that. And..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Jiaojiao's gaze fell on the desk in front of her.
He lifted a corner of the solid wood desk under the boss's puzzled gaze.
"Besides, my physical condition is quite good, and I'm fully capable of handling it. What do you think?"
"Okay...okay, put the table down first."
Fang Jiaojiao put the table back in its original position, patted the dust off her hands, and stared intently at her boss.
The boss reached for the teacup that had been put back in its place, took a sip of tea to calm his nerves, and then continued speaking.
"Your physical condition is good, and your major is relevant. However, the internship salary... might be a bit low. Can you accept that?"
Upon hearing the boss's words, Fang Jiaojiao knew that things were more than halfway done, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can accept that. But is it really true that room and board are included, and utilities are all free?"
⑧Book.com
"Don't worry about that. We are a legitimate company with our own staff canteen and dormitory. You don't need to worry about food, accommodation, water, or electricity."
Fang Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly as she listened to the boss's words.
"When can I start work?"
The boss was caught off guard by Fang Jiaojiao's eagerness to get to work and was stunned for a while before he recovered. He had never seen anyone so eager to get to work.
"Well, if there are no problems, you can start immediately. There's no social insurance or housing fund during the internship, and it's 500 for the day shift and 800 for the night shift."
Seeing that Fang Jiaojiao readily agreed, the boss picked up the phone on the table and called the security guard up.
"Old Wang, come to the third floor and take someone to complete the onboarding process, yes, yes, yes."
The security guard arrived incredibly fast; he knocked on the door almost the instant the boss hung up the phone.
Fang Jiaojiao glanced at the door several times in confusion, suspecting that he hadn't left at all but had been waiting outside.
"Go ahead, you can start work today after completing the onboarding process."
"Thank you, boss."
After thanking the boss, Fang Jiaojiao went out and followed the security guard downstairs. The two walked one after the other for a short while before the curious security guard finally couldn't help but speak first.
"Woman, are you really going to come here and work as a corpse mover?"
"Yes, didn't the boss ask you to take me to complete the onboarding process?"
Fang Jiaojiao casually replied as she put the mask back on her face.
She didn't mind chatting with this security guard, who wasn't a bad person at heart.
But as soon as she said that, the security guard, who had been curious, unexpectedly shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
After helping Fang Jiaojiao complete the simple formalities and sign a document agreeing to bring her ID card to be submitted when she becomes a full-time employee in a month, Fang Jiaojiao said goodbye to the security guard and went to the cafeteria with another young lady.
The security guard watched as Fang Jiaojiao actually completed the formalities and left with the others, and he still couldn't believe it, muttering to himself.
"My goodness, this woman really is here to work as a corpse mover..."
...
"Alright, this is the staff canteen. It's almost dinner time now, so go eat first. After you finish eating, come find me at the same place, and I'll take you to your dormitory."
The young lady took Fang Jiaojiao to the cafeteria, gave her a few instructions, and then left.
Smelling the long-lost aroma of food, Fang Jiaojiao, who was both hungry and tired, could only feel her stomach rumbling uncontrollably.
Finally, we can eat.
Holding her tray, Fang Jiaojiao followed the line to get her food. Carrying a mountain of food, she sat down in a corner of the cafeteria, took off her mask, and quickly showed off.
She wasn't unaware of the strange looks from those around her, but having been starving for several days, she couldn't care less about concealing her eating speed and quickly devoured the mountain of food piled up in front of her.
Fang Jiaojiao drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, then took the plate and got another serving of rice.
It wasn't until she finished the second bowl of soup that she felt like she had come back to life.
The feeling of being hungry is really unpleasant. Now that I have unlimited space and have found a job, I still need to find a way to stock up on more food.
Looking into the empty, infinite space, Fang Jiaojiao felt a sense of urgency, like a little mouse hoarding food.
After putting her tray back in the recycling bin, Fang Jiaojiao grabbed some fruit and yogurt before putting her mask back on and slowly walking out of the cafeteria toward the office building.
Her petite frame easily consumed so much food.
Having witnessed Fang Jiaojiao's enormous appetite, the employees were also incredibly curious about this new colleague.
This way.
After turning the corner and confirming there were no security cameras, Fang Jiaojiao transferred the fruit and yogurt from her pocket into her spatial dimension. She then went inside to find the girl who had led her to the cafeteria earlier.
After following the young lady to familiarize myself with the general route through the funeral home and receiving some daily necessities, I...
Fang Jiaojiao was given a private rest room that was temporarily all hers.
Looking at the bunk bed and desk in the roughly ten-square-meter room, Fang Jiaojiao felt a sense of returning to her school dormitory.

After taking the toiletries and work clothes she received, Fang Jiaojiao took a hot shower in the washroom and then slept soundly on the clean bed.
She slept soundly through the night and woke up promptly at six o'clock the next morning.
After quickly getting ready with her toiletries, Fang Jiaojiao headed straight for the cafeteria, following the route she had memorized yesterday.
Time for breakfast.
Fang Jiaojiao's mood improved when she arrived at the cafeteria.
As expected of a reputable company, the breakfast they served in the morning was a diverse and plentiful spread.
Fang Jiaojiao ladled out a large bowl of seafood porridge and took two eggs, then carried the tray to the corner where she had sat down the day before.
The auntie who served her food was quite impressed with Fang Jiaojiao's appetite, and was a little puzzled to see that she had only gotten porridge and eggs this morning.
Seeing Fang Jiaojiao finished her meal quickly and came back for more food, the auntie smiled with satisfaction.
Young people should be able to eat a lot; that's true happiness.
"Girl, eat more. Young people need to eat more to stay healthy."
Watching the aunt in front of her keep adding beef to her noodles, Fang Jiaojiao gave her a sweet smile.
Thank you, sister.
"Oh, what do you mean 'sister'? I'm old enough to be an auntie."
Fang Jiaojiao's address of "sister" made the auntie overjoyed. Although she spoke modestly, her smile was practically reaching her ears.
"Eat more, don't worry about not having enough. Young people are so focused on losing weight that they eat so little, and the cafeteria wastes a lot of food every day."
"Okay, sis, I'll order more if I'm still hungry after I finish this."
Carrying the bowl of beef noodles specially made by her aunt back to the table, Fang Jiaojiao lowered her head to eat, her mind constantly pondering what her aunt had just said.
The cafeteria wastes a lot of food every day...
After finishing her meal, Fang Jiaojiao did not leave immediately, but instead took a bottle of yogurt and sat down to drink it slowly.
Watching the people who came to eat finish their meals and leave one by one, Fang Jiaojiao looked up at the clock on the cafeteria wall before putting on her mask and getting up to find the young lady from the funeral home to arrange work for her.
The young lady was considered of Fang Jiaojiao, a girl who was doing this type of work for the first time, and arranged for her to do daytime help work.
Fang Jiaojiao took the schedule and glanced at it before speaking.
"Could you help me arrange some evening work? I'm facing some difficulties right now and really need money to get by."
Fang Jiaojiao's words made the young lady who was assigning her work realize her unspeakable difficulties, and she also recalled how Fang Jiaojiao looked so battered and bruised when she first arrived yesterday.
In an instant, a long and tragic scene flashed through my mind.
A family actually needs a young girl to work as a corpse carrier to earn money to make ends meet...
It's nothing more than a gambling-addicted father and a cowardly, incompetent mother, and maybe a younger brother who bullies her and grandparents who are paralyzed in bed...
Oh my god.
"Okay, I'll try my best to schedule you for the evening shift. It'll just be very tiring at night."
The inexplicable emotion in the young woman's eyes made Fang Jiaojiao feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, she did need to free up her daytime time to do other things, so she could only force a smile and thank the young lady despite the strange stares.
She grabbed the rearranged work schedule and quickly left the place that made her feel uncomfortable.
Fang Jiaojiao only breathed a sigh of relief and started walking back towards the cafeteria after turning into an intersection and completely losing sight of those behind her.
The young woman queuing for work watched Fang Jiaojiao's thin yet strong figure leave, her eyes filled with pity and heartache that lingered for a long time.
...

Just as Fang Jiaojiao reached the entrance of the cafeteria, she happened to see a familiar-looking auntie packing up her things. Her eyes lit up and she immediately went over to help.
"Girl, what brings you here? You don't need my help, you should go to work."
When the aunt saw Fang Jiaojiao helping to tidy up, she quickly stopped her.
Fang Jiaojiao calmly helped her transfer the tray to the trolley and smiled as she spoke.
"Sis, I don't start work until tonight. I just wanted to help you out because we clicked. And thank you for the extra meat you added for me today."
"This is nothing, you're all company meat, I haven't helped you with anything."
Even so, seeing how genuinely Fang Jiaojiao was trying to help her, the aunt still smiled.
"It's okay, sis. I'm young and strong, so helping you collect the food will be faster. If you feel bad about it, just get me a little more food next time you get your meals. You know I have a big appetite."
"Okay, from now on, come to my place for meals. I promise I'll feed you until you're full."
The two chatted as they packed up, and in no time they had gathered all the dishes onto the cart.
Fang Jiaojiao glanced in the direction of the kitchen and took the cart from him.
"Sis, I can push it. Could you help me pull the door to the side? I'm worried the car won't be able to get through."
"Okay, sure."
Successfully pushing the cart to the kitchen, Fang Jiaojiao's eyes flashed as she looked at the workers who were clearly assigned to cleaning up the dishes. She then placed the cart next to the sink.
"Sister, I'll leave these bowls here. There are still some leftover food left to collect. I'll go and collect them together."
"Okay, girl, there's a trash can over there. Just push the trash can over there, dump the leftovers into the trash can, and then take the plates back."
Seeing the mountain of bowls and plates, the aunt stopped being polite and pointed towards the door at the back.
Fang Jiaojiao nodded and followed the direction she was pointing, passing through the stacked shelves to the back door of the kitchen.
Sure enough, there was a green trash can next to the door after it was opened.
Pulling the trash can into her hand, Fang Jiaojiao turned her head and her eyes lit up when she saw the stainless steel basins and large buckets piled up on the shelf in front of her.
When I came in, all I could see was a security camera on the back wall facing the main entrance, and in front of this blind spot were densely packed shelves...
A barely perceptible flash of white light appeared, and dozens of stainless steel deep buckets and food containers had appeared in Fang Jiaojiao's space.
I dragged the trash can to the restaurant and looked out at the metal basin full of food in the window.
Fang Jiaojiao picked up the still-warm breakfast bowls and secretly transferred them all into the food bowl in her space while she turned her back.
The figure's back obscured the act of pouring out the food, making the smuggling operation proceed exceptionally smoothly.
Looking at the various kinds of porridge, steamed buns, dumplings, and bowls of egg and beef noodles that had appeared in the space, Fang Jiaojiao easily stacked the bowls of food and carried them back to the kitchen.
After putting the trash can back in its place and closing the lid, Fang Jiaojiao took the opportunity of delivering the vegetable basin to the aunt to wander around the entire kitchen.
After successfully handing the vegetable bowl to the aunt, she also found the location of the canteen's food storage room.
"Sister, here you go."
Fang Jiaojiao handed the vegetable basin to the aunt, and after watching her quickly wash it clean and put it in the dryer, she spoke again.
"Sis, I don't see anything else that needs help, so I'll be going now."
"Hey girl, wait a minute."
The aunt immediately got up when she saw Fang Jiaojiao was about to leave.
After drying his hands on the handkerchief beside him, he pulled Fang Jiaojiao into the staff break room in the back kitchen.
"Hey girl, I know you have a big appetite. We can't find anything good right now, so take this bag of apples and put it in your dorm. You can eat them when you get hungry tonight."
The aunt stuffed a large bag of apples she had taken out of the cupboard into Fang Jiaojiao's hands.
⑧ьοOk. Сом

Seeing that Fang Jiaojiao was reluctant to accept it, the aunt leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
"Don't worry about it. You don't know how much stuff this company buys every day, but our company staff can't possibly eat it all. There's a lot of leftover stuff, so I'll save some better stuff for you next time."
Thank you, sister.
Fang Jiaojiao smiled with her eyes crinkling, chatted with the aunt for a few more minutes, and then returned to her dormitory with a large bag of apples.
This large bag of apples probably contains twenty or thirty apples.
I can temporarily save up some food by taking advantage of company deals, but I still need to buy some masks and protective equipment.
There might be opportunities to buy things for free after a disaster occurs, but it's still necessary to buy some things as a precaution.
Holding the used mask in her hand, Fang Jiaojiao silently activated her copying skill.
The wrinkled mask instantly became clean and new, while the copied mask was noticeably different.
"This is... an industrial dust mask?"
Fang Jiaojiao was delighted to see the mask, which was clearly more protective.
I never imagined that this copying skill would be more useful than I thought!
Then I can't let the opportunity to upgrade go to waste.
If you max out the copy skill three times a day, you should be able to level up in about ten days.
After putting the industrial mask back in the room, Fang Jiaojiao put on a regular mask and began to slowly exercise on the dormitory floor.
Since starting university, I haven't practiced the self-defense techniques my dad taught me for a long time. Now, alone in the unknown and dangerous world of the game, I need to start practicing self-defense techniques again.
After practicing a few rounds in the dormitory, Fang Jiaojiao glanced at her watch and realized it was almost time. She grabbed her clothes and quickly took a shower.
Feeling refreshed after exercising, Fang Jiaojiao went out to the cafeteria. As soon as the cafeteria aunt saw her, she waved to her repeatedly.
She took her tray and lined up in the queue where the auntie served her food. When it was her turn, the auntie indeed gave her a large bowl of food.
Fortunately, the food in my stomach had already been digested after I exercised in the dormitory, otherwise I might not have been able to finish this hearty plate.
Carrying her aunt's heartfelt concern, Fang Jiaojiao sat down in her usual spot and quietly finished her meal before sitting down to digest.
She stood up and went to the auntie's side only after everyone had finished eating and left the cafeteria.
"How's it going, girl? Are you full? There's still plenty of food left. If you're still hungry, you can have some more."
"Thank you, Sis, I'm full."
Fang Jiaojiao was both amused and exasperated by her aunt's concern.
Although her appetite was a little bigger than the average person's, it wasn't this exaggerated. After finishing that plate of rice, which far exceeded the plate's capacity, she was truly full.
Seeing that Fang Jiaojiao's expression didn't seem shy or awkward, the aunt finally felt relieved and believed that she was truly full.
"Sis, why don't you go and eat with them first? I'll help you put your plates and dishes away at the back."
"this..."
Fang Jiaojiao interrupted her hesitation.
"Oh, sis, you treat me like your own sister, so how could I not treat you like my own sister? It's only natural for me to help my own sister pack her things. Go eat, or the food will get cold."
The aunt was finally persuaded by Fang Jiaojiao and patted her chest, promising to protect her from now on.
"Okay, from now on you're my little sister. You help me pack things, and I'll definitely save a share of the good stuff for you."

"Thank you, sister."
Seeing the auntie and the other canteen staff sitting at a table in the corner to eat, Fang Jiaojiao skillfully collected the plates and pushed them to the back kitchen. She then took all the remaining dishes from the window to the back kitchen's blind spot and put them back in the space as usual.
Fang Jiaojiao accepted all the remaining dishes, including braised pork, poached chicken, and spicy fish chunks, without any hesitation.
Having gone three whole days without food or water in her original world, she was utterly terrified of the feeling of hunger.
Moreover, all the dishes were prepared by the cafeteria staff wearing masks and gloves, so they were clean and tidy, and Fang Jiaojiao accepted them without any burden.
There aren't enough stainless steel vegetable basins in the space.
Fang Jiaojiao poured the stir-fried vegetables together to clear out a few empty bowls, and then took a few more from the shelf behind her and put them in her space for later use before strolling to the door of the storage room.
The door to the storage room was loosely ajar. Fang Jiaojiao peered through the crack and, finding no security cameras inside, immediately slipped inside.
Gently closing the door, Fang Jiaojiao looked at the densely packed food on the shelves and felt a kind of joy, like a little mouse falling into a rice jar.
All the boxes of food were recorded, and Fang Jiaojiao took a few green vegetables from each woven bag.
The woven bag contained a good amount of food: cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, lettuce, green peppers, and eggplant.
Fang Jiaojiao took several bags, and her space was filled with more vegetables.
And these bulk seasonings.
Fang Jiaojiao picked out one of each of the small bottles, and she took quite a lot of salt.
After carefully looking around and cleaning up any traces of her presence, Jiaojiao nimbly retreated.
I had a good haul this noon; at this rate of getting freebies, I should be able to stock up on some food.
I just don't know if the food from these spaces can be brought back to the original world.
After greeting her aunt, Fang Jiaojiao returned to her dormitory and started exercising as usual, waiting to go to work after dinner.
Time flies. Fang Jiaojiao felt like she had just warmed up and it was time for dinner in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the skill whose cooldown time had expired, Fang Jiaojiao glanced around the dormitory and fixed her gaze on the bed.
After the copying skill was used, a bunk bed exactly like the one with a desk underneath appeared in the dormitory, making the already small space even narrower.
Fang Jiaojiao put the extra bunk bed back into her space, and seeing that her skill proficiency had increased to three after tidying up, she went out to eat and go to work.
After lunch, I joined the veteran employees in busily moving the bodies and setting up the site.
The employees who were initially worried that she wouldn't be able to stick with it were much more at ease after spending the night with her.
After all, the greatest fortune in work is having people who don't hold you back.
I squeezed in a quick trip to the restroom to refresh the day's copied skills.
Fang Jiaojiao, who finished work at six in the morning, did not choose to go back to the dormitory to rest after eating. Instead, she took advantage of the time while helping out to put the extra food into her space before going back to catch up on sleep.
Seeing Fang Jiaojiao, who had worked all night and still insisted on tidying up for her, the aunt was moved to tears.
She secretly vowed to herself that when Fang Jiaojiao came for lunch, she would give her the most meat and feed her until she was full.
After a week of this repetitive work, Fang Jiaojiao gradually got used to it.
The food in the space had accumulated to a considerable amount, and a lot of vegetables and fruits were also taken from the storage room when going to the kitchen.
Looking at the pitifully few masks in the room, Fang Jiaojiao decided to take advantage of the weekend to go out.
However, I need to ask my boss for an advance on my salary before I go out.

After returning to the familiar commercial street in the hearse from the funeral home, Fang Jiaojiao touched the 20,000 yuan of her advance salary in her pocket and headed straight for the pharmacy.
Fang Jiaojiao bought two boxes of medical masks and a box of alcohol disinfectant, spending 300 yuan. Carrying the items, she went out and then turned around and went into the restroom of the shopping mall next door.
After putting her things away in the restroom, she straightened her slightly crooked mask before leaving the restroom to go shopping at the mall.
A box contains 300 masks; buying two boxes should be more than enough.
As the escalator slowly ascended, Fang Jiaojiao glanced at the mall layout map and continued to ride the escalator towards the camping area on the top floor.
Fang Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she walked around the camping market.
The camping market truly lives up to its reputation as a supply depot for wilderness survival; it has an all-encompassing selection of outdoor gear.
Fang Jiaojiao's eyes swept over the various sleeping bags, tents, and portable kitchen utensils, and she was so captivated that she couldn't bear to leave.
But after checking her limited funds, she suppressed her urge to make a big purchase and decided to wait for another opportunity to try and get something for free.
Fang Jiaojiao's gaze inadvertently fell on a multi-functional axe hammer, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
The salesperson noticed where Fang Jiaojiao's gaze was fixed and, without hesitation, took down the multi-functional axe hammer that was on display and handed it to her.
"Is this young lady a wilderness survival enthusiast?"
Seeing Fang Jiaojiao nod while holding the axe hammer, the salesperson's smile deepened.
"You have excellent taste! This multi-functional axe hammer is the crown jewel of our store. Unlike the axe hammers sold elsewhere, ours is made from military-grade forging materials, so the quality is absolutely top-notch."
Fang Jiaojiao was quite satisfied with the multi-functional self-defense weapon in her hand, which could be used as an axe, a hammer, and a dagger.
She had been looking for something to defend herself, and this multi-functional axe hammer just happened to meet her needs.
It's sharp enough, and small enough to carry easily.
"How much?"
"Thank you for your liking! This multi-functional axe hammer is only 8,880!"
Fearing that Fang Jiaojiao would be scared away by the price, the salesperson immediately continued.
"This axe hammer is only available in our mall in the entire Y city. Once this one is sold out, there won't be any more in stock."
Fang Jiaojiao hesitated, tossing the slightly heavy axe hammer in her hand.
Seeing that the multi-functional axe hammer, which hadn't been asked about even once in the past six months, was about to sell, the salesperson gritted their teeth and pressed their advantage.
"If you buy it today, we'll also give you a free cast steel hand axe."
Looking at the black axe body and the sharp, cold-looking blade in the salesperson's hand, Fang Jiaojiao decisively took out her money and bought it.
Seeing this, the salesperson smiled broadly and quickly packed the items and handed them to Fang Jiaojiao.
The salesperson watched her walk away with a smile on his face until she turned the corner and disappeared from sight, only then daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, we managed to sell this expensive item that nobody wanted.
Although this multi-functional axe hammer is indeed made of military-grade materials, it sells for dozens of times more than a regular axe hammer.
This thing had been sitting in the shop collecting dust for ages, but thankfully it finally sold today and I made back some of my costs.
Fang Jiaojiao, carrying two axes, was also in a good mood.
The hand axe is the perfect size for a woman to carry with one hand. Although it is a bit heavy, it is sturdy and durable made of cast steel.
The multi-functional axe hammer can be used as both an axe and a dagger, and it is small and easy to carry. With these two combined, one's personal safety is temporarily somewhat guaranteed.
As usual, she found a place without surveillance cameras to put her things away. When Fang Jiaojiao strolled over to the store that sold diving equipment, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
⑧ьοOk． сОm
Looking at the complete sets of diving equipment and oxygen tanks displayed in the shop window, Fang Jiaojiao's heart suddenly pounded.
A question that had been ignored suddenly came to mind.
In the early stages of a disaster, I can get through it by wearing a mask, but what if the disaster is far more complicated than that?
If the disaster worsens, masks may become completely ineffective...
Fang Jiaojiao's gaze fell on the diving equipment priced at 11,000 yuan. She stood silently for a moment, then turned and left.
If you rely solely on the money you have on you, it probably won't be enough.
While pondering countermeasures, they took the elevator to the shopping mall supermarket to stock up on supplies.
As she pushed her cart of groceries to the counter to pay, she spotted a group of burly men with guns heading straight for the supermarket.
Without hesitation, Fang Jiaojiao abandoned the shopping cart beside her and immediately hid behind the furniture counter, discreetly observing the person who came through the gaps in the wardrobe.
Her gaze swept over the players' wristbands, which were openly displayed and clearly identified them as players, and she became even more wary.
He only managed to obtain the non-aggressive copy skill, and all he had were two newly purchased axes.
These people, all armed and menacing, were coming in aggressively, and the protagonist was still unsure whether this apocalyptic game contained any other skills...
If any of these people draw an offensive skill, then I will be completely powerless to fight back.
Fang Jiaojiao didn't believe these people would let her off the hook just because they were all gamers.
In a strange and uncertain world, these "fellow countrymen" might want their lives even more than the disaster itself.
Buttoning up the loose cuffs one by one, Fang Jiaojiao was extremely grateful that she had worn the long-sleeved work uniform issued by the funeral home today.
Although the work clothes are drab and not very attractive, as long as the cuffs are buttoned up, the bracelet on my wrist won't be visible.
Seeing the person with a gun blocking the supermarket entrance, Fang Jiaojiao quietly slipped away to the back door under the cover of the furniture.
But as soon as she reached the vicinity of the back door, she keenly noticed that there were also two men with guns guarding the back door.
Damn it, it seems these people want to take control of this supermarket and turn it into their own granary.
Fang Jiaojiao quickly hid herself in the plush toy shelf next to her, quietly waiting for a chance to leave.
Within minutes, ear-piercing gunshots and a commotion erupted from the direction of the supermarket's front entrance.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps approaching the back door, Fang Jiaojiao quietly moved behind her.
It wasn't until my back hit the cold wall that I calmed down.
The chaotic footsteps stopped abruptly a short distance away; these people had probably also seen the two guards at the back door.
In this tense and quiet atmosphere, Fang Jiaojiao could still clearly hear the rapid breathing and rampant laughter through the layers of toys.
"The boss was right. These NPCs actually did try to escape through the back door, hahaha."
"Alright, don't forget what the boss ordered."
"Okay, okay, hey! All of you, roll up your right sleeves!"
Fang Jiaojiao heard the conversation outside and keenly discerned important information from it.
These people are looking for gamers!
The game bracelet will only be worn on the player's right wrist.
Although this bracelet may only be visible to players, its fatal flaw is that there is currently no way to hide it!
Besides hiding the bracelet under her sleeve, Fang Jiaojiao has tried every method she could think of over the past week, even touching the bracelet inside and out, but she still couldn't find a way to make it less conspicuous.

With such a huge loophole, it's practically impossible to hide a player's identity.
It's clear that those who surrounded the supermarket also knew about this.
It's unclear what their purpose is in searching for players so recklessly.
"You robbers, why should we listen to you! Those guns they're carrying are just fake to scare us! Everyone, follow me and charge out!!!"
The excited voice stirred up emotions, and an indescribable anger surged up, instantly overriding reason.
"Yes! That's right! Why should we listen to you!"
"Charge! There are so many of us, are we afraid of him?!"
"Everyone, attack together! Do you think those two can take on so many of us!"
The crowd became incredibly excited. Those who were initially afraid suddenly transformed into furious warriors, completely ignoring the gleaming guns held by the two guards at the gate.
Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long.
"Bang--!!!"
As the crowd gradually approached the entrance, the guard fired the first shot.
The piercing gunshot brought Fang Jiaojiao back to her senses. Once she came to her senses from her excitement, she was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
I almost, I almost walked out of this pile of toys.
Seeing the huge teddy bear blocking her way, Fang Jiaojiao took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and quickly retreated to the back of the shelf.
With the cold wall and sticky cold sweat on her back, Fang Jiaojiao's wildly beating heart calmed down a little with the soothing coolness.
Why did I suddenly feel the urge to rush out without thinking?
He had clearly discovered that those people had guns long ago, so how could he possibly act impulsively when he had no chance of winning?
Oh, right... that person who just spoke!
I suddenly lost control of my behavior after listening to the instigation of that person outside.
Could it be... that this is also a player's skill?
Fang Jiaojiao's doubts were quickly confirmed, and the screams and conversations coming from outside gave her an even greater shock.
"I didn't expect there to actually be players mixed in with these NPCs. Hey kid, was the sudden riot by your player skill?"
"I...I don't know what you're talking about."
Anyone could hear the guilty conscience in that man's voice, let alone the blond-haired guy holding the gun.
The blond-haired man impatiently poked the wound on his arm with his gun, his tone threatening.
"Don't know? Why are you covering your right hand? Stop pretending! What's your skill? Tell me!"
The man wearing glasses was being relentlessly stabbed in the wound by a gun, and he was trembling uncontrollably from the pain.
The courage he had finally mustered vanished in an instant, and he dared not cause any more trouble. He spoke in a trembling voice.
"I... my skill is hypnosis. But I can only hypnotize for one minute. Please! My skill is really useless, please let me go."
Seeing the bespectacled man lying on the ground begging for mercy, the blond-haired man lost interest, put away his gun, and even rubbed the blood from the gun onto the man's wailing face with a wicked sense of humor.
"What's in your backpack? Take it out and let me see."
The bespectacled man dared not refuse the blond-haired man's request and reluctantly took out the contents of his backpack under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Rice, bottled water. Oh... and a little gold bar too!"
The blond-haired man picked up the gold bar, about the thickness of an finger, from the ground and stared at the bespectacled man with a half-smile.
"You plan to put all this in a three-compartment backpack?"
The bespectacled man clutched his wound and forced an ugly smile.
8bOоK.Соm
"This... I was planning to take it back to eat with my family. You know the food was contaminated, I was just afraid of going hungry."
"Alright, come with us."
The blond-haired man seemed disdainful of speaking again and kicked him to make him stand up.
The bespectacled man shakily got up and stood behind the blond-haired man. The next second, the blond-haired man and another person pointed their guns at the indigenous people opposite them.
"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"
After a scream and a gunshot, the back door fell silent again.
Let's go.
After glancing at the corpse on the ground, the blond-haired man and another person led the bespectacled man toward the front door.
The bespectacled man was terrified and stumbled after the blond-haired man, fearing that he would suffer the same fate as them at any moment.
Hearing the footsteps of the three people gradually fade away, Fang Jiaojiao quietly passed through the circle of dolls and came to the front.
Through the gaps between the teddy bear and other toys, she saw the bright red blood on the ground not far away. Having received twenty years of safety education in her original world, she was momentarily dazed.
Are there NPCs that are so flesh-and-blood and have such thoughts?
Fang Jiaojiao turned pale as she recalled the people she had met at the funeral home.
This apocalyptic game clearly puts them in another parallel universe!
I forcibly suppressed the fear in my heart.
Fang Jiaojiao listened quietly for a while, and only after confirming that there was no more noise outside did she hold the hand axe she had taken out of her space in one hand and gently push aside the teddy bear in front of her with the other.
Carefully skirting the corpses lying on the ground, she quickly passed through the narrow back door of the supermarket without daring to linger.
After glancing at the elevator that was just a stone's throw away, Fang Jiaojiao turned around and quickly ran into the nearby corridor, taking a detour into the dimly lit stairwell.
Clutching her hand axe, she carefully made her way through the stairwell. She wasn't sure if there were players guarding the mall entrance, but given the current situation, the probability of someone being there was extremely high.
For safety's sake, it's safer to go to the top floor of the mall.
The leader of this group of armed players is searching for other players in the mall.
I don't know if it's because of those various talent skills or... the fact that there are only three spaces.
It turns out that other players only have three slots in their inventory.
A backpack with only three compartments can hold very limited items.
If you want to bring a large amount of supplies back to your original world and resume a life where you don't have to worry about food and drink, that's just wishful thinking.
So that's when they started targeting other players' backpacks?
Upon learning this news, Fang Jiaojiao finally understood just how extraordinary her infinite space truly was.
However, the matter of the space backpack must be kept absolutely secret and not let anyone find out.
If someone discovers that there is no limit to the space in your backpack, then you will either be killed or imprisoned.
With each floor she climbed, Fang Jiaojiao's tension intensified; she wondered if her guess was wrong.
If the boss hadn't stayed on the first floor but had come to the top floor, then he would have been essentially handing himself a death sentence.
There was no sound from inside the mall in the stairwell, and when she reached the entrance to the last floor, the mall was still deathly silent.
Fang Jiaojiao glanced at the closed door in front of her and gently pushed it open a crack.
"Bang--!"
The sound of glass exploding came from the mall corridor not far away. Fang Jiaojiao immediately closed the door and ran up to the rooftop.
She heard approaching footsteps and glanced at the open rooftop door before quickly slipping inside.

The boss is truly a genius; there really were players hiding on the top floor."
"Hey! Stop hiding. Our boss just wants to invite you over for a chat. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen."
Several burly men armed with guns slowly approached the rooftop, where there was nowhere to hide.
"Alright, stop struggling pointlessly. Our bullets don't have eyes. It would be bad if you got hurt."
Seeing himself surrounded and with no way to escape, the thin man, forced to the edge of the rooftop, was filled with resentment.
"We're all players, what right do you have to do this!"
"On what grounds?"
The dark muzzles of guns were all pointed at the man opposite them, and the burly man's words were full of sarcasm.
"With the weapons we have, you can die if we want to. I advise you not to be ungrateful; our boss just wants to have a chat with you."
If your skills are useful and can please the boss, you'll have endless food and money. More importantly... maybe if the boss is in a good mood, you'll even know what the disaster is in advance.
"Are you telling the truth? You actually know what this disaster is!"
The thin man was clearly swayed by these words.
If I had known what the disaster was beforehand and taken precautions, I might have been able to get through and return...
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The thin man's eyes were full of longing to go home, and the burly man lowered his gun when he saw this.
"That's the kind of decision a smart person would make."
After the group left the rooftop, Fang Jiaojiao waited for a while to make sure they wouldn't come back to check before crawling out from the pile of cardboard boxes next to the rooftop door.
Fortunately, after realizing that the rooftop was open and unobstructed, he immediately hid by the iron gate; otherwise, he might have been taken away with that person.
However... the leader of this group actually knew what the disaster was beforehand...
Could this be one of the skills extracted by the system?
Holding the hand axe, Fang Jiaojiao went downstairs again to the stairwell. She gently pushed open the door, made sure no one was guarding it, and then quickly slipped inside.
The once clean and bright shopping mall is now visibly messy, with broken glass and unidentified bloodstains scattered throughout the aisles in front of the shops.
Slipping along the wall into the camping market I had just visited, I found the once neatly arranged merchandise now scattered haphazardly on the floor.
Looking up at the surveillance camera, which had stopped working due to the power outage, Fang Jiaojiao quickly gathered any usable items from the floor into her personal storage space.
Sleeping bags, tents, cooking utensils, backpacks, first-aid kits...
She took anything that was visibly undamaged without hesitation.
After putting everything away, Fang Jiaojiao turned around and saw the weapons displayed on the shelf behind the counter. She walked around them.
As she approached the counter, the scene before her made her pause involuntarily.
The familiar saleswoman, shot in the head, lay on the floor behind the counter with empty eyes. Her skirt, pulled down to her knees, told of her ordeal before her death.
Are these people... are they crazy?
With trembling hands, Fang Jiaojiao tore down the tent next to her and covered the saleswoman with it. After putting away the weapon, she quickly ran towards the store that sold diving equipment.
These people are crazy!
Does treating this as a game world give you the right to unleash malice so recklessly?
What's the difference between this and a murderer?
⑧воok. COM
Although his mind was a complete mess, his movements did not falter at all.
In just two minutes, Fang Jiaojiao ran from the camping market to the diving equipment store on the other side.
Hiding in the corner and observing quietly, Fang Jiaojiao saw that the store was equally dark and quiet before slipping inside.
Seeing the bloodstains all over the floor of the store, Fang Jiaojiao pursed her lips and quickly packed up the diving equipment and all the oxygen tanks before returning to the stairwell and walking downstairs.
It seems that the entire building has been 'cleaned up' by those lunatics, so I can't stay here. I need to find a way to escape.
Despite saying that, Fang Jiaojiao was still unsure.
Those players who occupied the mall must have gotten so many guns from somewhere; I have absolutely no chance of winning.
Unless there's a group of people who also have guns, they might be able to fight them.
There's a gun...
Fang Jiaojiao patted her head in frustration, then turned and ran quickly back to the top floor.
After searching through several corpses, Fang Jiaojiao finally found the cell phone in this world and hid in the innermost part of the shop with the phone.
After finding the emergency number for this world on a search engine, Fang Jiaojiao, holding her phone with full signal, called the police without hesitation.
Before the disaster even occurred, only armed police officers could confront the people downstairs.
After receiving a call reporting that terrorists were robbing a shopping mall at gunpoint, the police immediately mobilized all available officers in the city to the scene.
The fact that no word of the mall robbery came out for so long shows how ruthless these robbers were.
The police didn't dare to be careless either. Countless police cars and armed officers rushed to the scene. Within ten minutes, sirens could be heard downstairs in the mall.
"Damn, why did these NPCs suddenly show up? Go tell the boss!"
"What's there to be afraid of? They're just some game NPCs. Do you think they can kill us? We have the skills we drew from the system to protect us. Dealing with these NPCs will be a piece of cake."
The players guarding the gate downstairs reacted differently. By the time the news reached the leader of the group, the mall was already surrounded by a dense swarm of police officers.
"Pshaw, they're just NPCs in the game world, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing his panicked underling in front of him, the player with a fierce face stood up from his chair and kicked him away.
"Let's go show these NPCs something new."
A burly man with a fierce face led a group of players to the mall entrance, looking at the densely packed police officers in front of him with disdain.
"You're just a bunch of NPCs. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of."
The burly man waved his hand, and several pistols fell to the ground instantly.
The burly man tossed the pistol on the ground to his henchman beside him and stood behind the protective shield that the player had painstakingly erected, speaking with disdain.
"Fire."
At the burly man's command, the player raised his pistol and fired wildly at the police outside the door.
The police were shocked by the sight of the big man conjuring a pistol out of thin air. When the robber resisted, they did not hesitate to fire back.
Although players have a lot of guns, most of them are ordinary people who have never touched a gun before coming to the game.
Although he learned a little about how to use a gun from the big man, his accuracy was still far inferior to that of a policeman who had received precise training.
In just over ten minutes, seeing the players around them being killed one by one by the NPC police, these players who were originally full of fighting spirit began to feel scared.
In order to avoid being killed, the players pulled out their best skills and fled in a sorry state under the attack of bullets.
This scene is a far cry from the arrogance he displayed when he was committing crimes with a gun.
