Chapter 4

In the midst of the extremely realistic game scenery, apart from Zhang Yi, the dozens of other players in the same carriage were all pressed against the windows, their eyes filled with excitement and agitation as they watched the bio-mechanical spiders outside, exclaiming in amazement.

Player A: "The virtual reality is so high, this game is too powerful!"

Player B: "Yeah, it's almost exactly like the real world. Spending ten thousand yuan on this game helmet was really worth it!"

Player C: "Aren't you guys scared? It feels so scary..."

Player D: "Scared of what? It's just a game!"

Listening silently to the players' discussions, Zhang Yi shook his head. These people hadn't realized that the world they were in was no longer just a game.

In his memory, the first survival mission of the Apocalypse was to find a safe zone. He casually opened the mission interface, and sure enough, it was as he remembered—

This week's survival mission: Find a Safe Zone (Nightmare Level)

Background: Alien races have invaded Earth, and the Beast Race has risen to power, bringing the Earth into a crisis of the end times.

Mission Description: Follow the mini-map to find Safe Zone 886 in District 8, [Hope Town]. In Hope Town, your safety will be greatly protected.

Remaining Time: 3 hours 58 minutes

Mission Reward: +1 Resurrection Chance

Failure Punishment: Death (If you have a resurrection chance, it can offset the death)

Two major survival rules in the Apocalypse world:

1. Always ensure you have at least one resurrection chance. Do not take risks without a resurrection chance, because if you die with a resurrection chance, you can be revived, but if you die without a resurrection chance, you are truly dead.

In his previous life, Zhang Yi had used up all his resurrection chances before battling [Dark Dragon Emperor Iguono], leading to his fatal strike by Mu Chen, leaving him with no room for maneuver.

2. Complete the survival missions released by the system each week.

The main storyline of the game [Apocalypse] revolves around survival missions. The system releases a unified survival mission for all players every Monday. Players who complete the survival mission within a week will receive a resurrection chance as a reward, while those who fail to complete the mission will lose one resurrection chance.

If a player does not complete the survival mission on time without a resurrection chance, they will be eliminated by the system.

Weekly survival missions are divided into three levels: Normal, Elite, and Nightmare. As the mission level increases with each completion, players must complete all three missions each week to ensure safety and accumulate a total of +3 resurrection chances as a reward.

Since today is Sunday and the first day of the game's launch, this week's survival mission has been directly upgraded to Nightmare Level and will not be upgraded further.

Closing the mission interface, the attribute interface appeared before Zhang Yi—

Special Status: Dragon Bloodline Lv1

Description: A newcomer who has just stepped into the Apocalypse world, full of curiosity about everything...

Before choosing a class, a player's five initial attributes all have a growth of 10 stars. However, due to the passive bonus of [Dragon Bloodline] which adds 5 stars to all attributes, Zhang Yi's initial growth is half more than others, making his attributes significantly higher than other players at the same level!

In his inventory, besides the 10 Level 1 red potions given by the system that can restore 50 health points, there was only a beginner's greatsword—

[Beginner's Sword]:

Quality: 1 star

Physical Attack: +3

Class Restriction: None

Level Requirement: 0

Description: A weapon suitable for beginners. Although it doesn't deal much damage, it can help you avoid fighting the ferocious monsters outside with bare hands...

Unfortunately, without any enhancement stones, Zhang Yi couldn't utilize his [Godly Enhancement] ability.

Checking the time, it was 8:03 PM. If he didn't enter the safe zone by midnight, he would waste the initial resurrection chance given to each player by the system.

Having experienced this before, Zhang Yi knew that entering the safe zone was not easy; otherwise, the survival mission wouldn't be classified as "Nightmare Level."

At this moment, with the game officially starting, some players in the carriage couldn't wait and jumped out of the window to fight the monsters.

In his line of sight, a young man with yellow hair ran out of the train, boldly and fearlessly approaching a large spider that was feasting on an animal carcass nearby.

Soon, a scream echoed as the yellow-haired man was killed by the Level 3 spider, dropping the beginner's sword given by the system. His body turned into a white light and reappeared in the carriage.

Before reaching the safe zone, the carriage served as the resurrection point for Zhang Yi and his group of players.

"Damn!" The yellow-haired man, who had consumed one resurrection chance and returned to the carriage, exclaimed in shock, "How powerful is that big spider!"

Before he could finish speaking, another middle-aged male player in the carriage pointed at the spider that had killed the yellow-haired man and said, "There are so many Level 1 spiders around, why did you go for that Level 3 one?"

The yellow-haired man was stunned for a moment before he noticed the red ID above the spider's head: Level 3 Bio-Mechanical Spider. "Damn, I didn't see..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a game. We're all Level 1, so there's no real loss if you die. Just try again!"

With that, the yellow-haired man jumped out of the window again.

At this moment, the other players in the carriage, filled with excitement, also rushed out with their greatswords, heading towards the Level 1 bio-mechanical spiders ahead...

Only Zhang Yi didn't rush to leave the carriage. Instead, he stood by a window and took out a safety hammer.

The moment the safety hammer fell into Zhang Yi's hands, it instantly transformed into a large black iron hammer!

"Ding~ You have obtained the equipment [Rough Iron Hammer]!"

Looking at the iron hammer in his hand, which added 5 points of attack, Zhang Yi smiled in relief.

Although it was a 1-star equipment like the beginner's sword, this Level 1 iron hammer had 2 more points of attack than the Level 0 beginner's sword. In the early stages, 2 points of attack was a significant difference.
