Lin An was slightly taken aback as a light screen instantly appeared before his eyes.
"Rescuer Mission System: Activated"
"Mission Information: Eliminate a 2nd Stage Mutant [Stitcher]"
"Mission Level: Dangerous!"
"Mission Time Limit: 240 hours"
"Mission Reward: Antitoxin Serum *3 (Eliminates zombie virus in the body.)"
"Mission Description: A dangerous (2nd Stage) zombie will be born in the Linqiang City area within 12 hours. Please eliminate it as soon as possible. If it exceeds 240 hours, the zombie will become a fully formed entity: Terror (3rd Stage)."
Before Lin An could react, two pendant-like objects appeared in his palm.
They felt cold and heavy.
This is!?
"Initial Mission Reward: Antitoxin Pendant (Gray Equipment) *2"
"Antitoxin Pendant (Gray Equipment): Carrying it will temporarily suppress the zombie virus, usable for 240 hours."
"After the usable time ends, the pendant will become ineffective and turn into a regular item, reusable (counting starts after use, pauses when removed)"
"Equipment Levels: Gray (Poor) White (Common) Blue (Fine) ... Black (Apocalypse)"
A white light flashed, and the content on the light screen transformed into a stream of information, flooding into Lin An's mind, deeply etched into his memory like a brand.
He was momentarily dazed.
A cool sensation covered his eyes.
Lin An's pupils were instantly covered by a light blue mist, as if they had been modified.
A faint golden light flashed at the bottom of his eyes, and his vision sharply increased.
The dim room appeared as bright as daylight to him.
The fine dust in the corner was clearly visible.
Lin An was startled.
The Eye of Judgment turned out to be a vision enhancement.
And it could display any information.
In the apocalypse, the greatest danger was not the lack of strength.
But the misjudgment of information.
With the Eye of Judgment, he would have an advantage in information.
In this apocalypse, it could be considered a highly practical auxiliary skill.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"
An Xia, leaning by the window, weakly called out to the dazed Lin An.
After the injection of the serum, the wound on her neck was slowly healing.
An Xia's clear, watery eyes were filled with fatigue and unease.
Since three days ago when An Jingtian and Lin An had sent messages, her brother's condition had been deteriorating.
At just eighteen, An Xia had taken on the responsibility of caring for her brother.
If not for Lin An's specific instructions to An Jingtian to tie himself up on the third day to prevent him from harming others when he turned into a zombie,
An Xia would have been killed by her own brother, just like the tragic scenes happening around the world.
Zombies, driven solely by the desire to feed, had no rationality.
When the apocalypse broke out, most humans died at the hands of their loved ones.
Lin An turned his head instinctively at the sound.
The Eye of Judgment, which had automatically activated, locked onto An Xia.
"Name: Human (Zombification 50%)"
"Strength: 3"
"Agility: 3"
"Constitution: 2"
"Willpower: 6"
"Player Level: 0 (No danger, the creature is in the zombification transformation stage.)"
"Player Weak Points: Heart, Head, Spine."
"Player Skills: Cooking 1, Language Proficiency 2, Handicraft 1..."
"Player Equipment: Antitoxin Pendant (Gray)"
...
A large amount of other information cascaded like a waterfall.
From the skills she possessed to her current state, everything appeared.
An Xia's information, in Lin An's eyes with the Eye of Judgment, was completely exposed.
It was detailed to the point of being terrifying.
"I'm fine."
Lin An was somewhat surprised but did not show any abnormality.
He just smiled gently, indicating to An Xia that she didn't need to worry about him.
An Jingtian was now unconscious.
He was now An Xia's only mental support, and he could not show any signs of abnormality in front of her.
Unlike the calm he displayed,
His heart was surging with excitement!
Numerous questions clouded his mind like dark clouds.
The Rescuer Template.
After activation, it granted him the highly practical Eye of Judgment and conveniently provided a reward that could save An Jingtian and An Xia.
It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
Was it a coincidence, or was there someone controlling it?
Lin An quickly pondered the implications behind the system's appearance.
Rescuer.
Who was he supposed to save?
Himself? The people around him? Or all of humanity?
If it was all of humanity,
Lin An gave a self-deprecating smile.
He had no saintly complex or ambition to save humanity.
If it was to save humanity, this mysterious Rescuer System had chosen the wrong person.
He only wanted to protect the people he cherished, seek revenge, and become stronger to survive.
As for the fate of others, he couldn't care less.
In his previous life, he had seen the ugliness of human nature and died due to betrayal.
He instinctively distrusted and disliked others.
Kindness, benevolence?
Ha.
...
Lin An suppressed his thoughts and carefully observed An Jingtian's condition.
An Jingtian,
