Chapter 100- Apocalypse (1)

Gu Anran opened her eyes, her mind still full of what happened last night, ah….she raised a leg with a wooden expression and kicked the person next to her off the bed.

“Hiss….” An unsuspecting Mu Qingli fell out of the bed, but her reflexes were not just for show as she quickly turned and jumped up without her butt even touching the floor. However, she still held her bottom with a grievous expression,

“Anran….it hurts…..”

…this drama queen! Gu Anran roared in her heart. Mu Qingli tried to lift the blankets and get back in, but Gu Anran narrowed her eyes, raised a hand, and suddenly a wave of spiritual energy erupted from her hand and blasted Mu Qingli out of her room.

When the disciples passing by saw Mu Qingli being thrown out of her room, they froze in their half-bow poses, the respectful greetings stuck in their throats.

…Their eyes must have misinterpreted the scene, yes, that’s right! The Young Head had simply flown out because she wanted to! But that spiritual energy…was not the Young Head’s…ah, it’s over! They have seen the shameful side of the Young Head, will they be silenced for it?!!!

However, Mu Qingli did not even look their way. She simply flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground. Mu Qingli, who’s at the Form Separation rank, naturally was not injured by Gu Anran’s weak spiritual power. She had simply cooperated for the moment, after all, what will she do if her wifey decides to ignore her out of anger? Therefore, it was of the utmost necessity that she pretended she was pushed back by the spiritual energy. Furthermore, Mu Qingli felt that Gu Anran’s spiritual energy was also very soft, as if the other was afraid that she would get hurt. Thinking like this, her mood lifted several times, and she had no time to care about the disciples passing by.

Aahhhh, my Anran is the cutest! Mu Qingli looked at her room with a lovesick gaze, her spiritual power allowing her to see inside. Gu Anran had wrapped herself up in the blankets and had fallen asleep again. Tsk, tsk, she must have tired Anran too much yesterday. She must let her rest well today.

「Ding! The female lead’s favorability has increased by (15) and is now at (90).」

If Gu Anran was still awake, she would definitely have complained about her wifey being a masochist. After all, Mu Qingli was ungraciously kicked out of the bedroom and yet her favorability had gone up by quite a bit.

But of course, Gu Anran was too tired and was already soundly asleep when she received the notification.

And so, Mu Qingli, Gu Anran, Chi Mengyan, and Hong Qingyi happily got along in this manner, their feelings for each other growing deeper by the day. Meanwhile, the Demonic Sect was thrown into turmoil and everyday one would hear outrageous statements such as these,

“Have you heard? The Young Head was kicked out of her room again! That girl is so daring, I can’t help but admire her courage!”

“Hey, hey, hey, that girl ran away and went into hiding again! The Young Head searched the entire mountain, and dug three feet deep in every direction! You should have seen the scene as all the disciples nearby ran away as fast as they could! They were afraid that they would be like the disciples from last time the Young Head panicked, who were forced to lay in bed for several months when they got in the Young Head’s way.”

“Ai, the Young Head is preparing weird gifts again. This time I saw her spread a few thousand top-tier medical pills on the ground in the shape of a heart for the girl!”

…and so on.

Chaos erupted every day, and the people of the Demonic Sect were in pain. This was simply torturing them single dogs! Super evil!

The disciples of the Demonic Sect were in danger of having their eyes blinded every day and they collectively decided to enter closed-door training. With this, the Demonic Sect’s overall strength soared to another level and caused quite a stir.

Later, in a familiar white space,

“Ah….we’re back…” Gu Anran said weekly.

“Damn it! Even in the end I was unable to counterattack!” Hong Qingyi fiercely complained.

Yup, that’s right, these two ‘forever bottoms’* even after living in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, neither of the two were able to top even once! The two of them refused to admit defeat, but no matter what they did, nothing worked! Drugs didn’t work, even losing their cultivation base didn’t work! Why!!!! (Because you two are forever bottoms←←) (T/N: The more accurate translation would be “tens of thousands of years” bottom but at that point I think forever works out nicely.)

“Welcome back!!! The system who was completely ignored the entire time yelled out as soon as they came back.

“Fatty, why are you yelling!” Hong Qingyi complained as she covered her ears.

Seeing the two’s dissatisfied gazes, the system felt sad!

“Hmph, calculating point total for the two players….the point total is 145,500.”

Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi were not surprised by the number. After all, they had taken so many side missions in the secret realm. Five hundred, one thousand, and occasionally two thousand point missions, after adding them all together, of course the point total would be quite considerable.

“Please pay attention, dear players, for the next world will be the last one. After completing this next world, you will be able to return to your original world.” The system said.

This will be…the last world? Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi looked at each other.

Does this also mean this will be the last time they see their wifeys?

“If everyone’s ready, let’s start the transmigration.” This time it was the system who broke the silence.

“Alright.” Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi nodded.

“Starting transmigration…dididi….”

A series of garbled codes appeared, and the dust-free white space suddenly dimmed and brightened. Before Gu Anran had time to react, she heard an incoherent voice that sounded like the system’s and then lost consciousness as her eyes went dark.

“Wuuu….” The headache this time threatened to split one her head, and her body felt like it was being disassembled and then assembled again. Her entire body was in agony.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw…wood above her? Was she in some kind of dormitory?

Gu Anran recognized she was on a bunk bed, the upper bunk being above her, and slowly climbed out of the bed.

“Strange, except for the headache, usually the body doesn’t feel any pain….does it have anything to do with the strange garbled code from before?” Gu Anran muttered to herself before a startling scream sounded.

“What’s going on?”

The sound came from somewhere outside and Gu Anran opened the curtains to find the source of it. When she opened the curtains, she was greeted with a frightful scene. One after another, extremely ugly human yet not human-like creatures rushed across the scene and bit into a struggling young girl. Their mouths were full of blood as they ripped the girl apart. Although Gu Anran has now experienced many different worlds, she still couldn’t help the chills in her heart from seeing this scene.

Is this last world…an apocalyptic world?

“Ah….I was about to die from all that pain.” A voice sounded out, causing Gu Anrna to jump up and turn around vigilantly. One of the other girls in the dorm had just got up as well.

Gu Anran stared at her, but refusing to play out the usual stipid scene, she asked directly,

“Qingyi?”

“What? Anran? Oh, we transmigrated into the same place again? What was that scream just now?” Hong Qingyi climbed down from the upper bunk.

“Zombies, there are zombies outside.” Gu Anran swallowed and whispered.

“What?!!” Hong Qingyi exclaimed in a low whisper and moved towards Gu Anran’s side next to the window. She looked down and immediately her face paled.

The two quickly pulled the curtains closed, both looking at each other specelessly.

“Hey, Fatty! Come out!” Since only Hong Qingyi and Gu Anran were in here, they didn’t hold back on calling out to the system. As for their other two roommates, who knows where they are. Although if they weren’t here, they most likely have been eaten or turned into human-eating zombies by now.

However, the familiar ball of light did not appear, instead it was replaced by a series of strange noises.

「Hiisssssss……system…..hisssss…..under attack….ssssss…..urgently finding a way….hisssshhh….to repair….finished….beginning troubleshooting…」

A series of incoherent noises later…

「Ding! The mission: Max out female lead’s favorability has been completed! 30,000 points will be rewarded. 」

「Ding! The mission: Max out supporting female lead’s favorability has been completed! 30,000 points will be rewarded. 」

「Ding! The mission: Bend the male lead has been completed! 25,000 points will be rewarded. 」

「Ding! The mission: Bend the supporting male lead has been completed! 25,000 points will be rewarded. 」

Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi stared dumbfoundedly at the notifications telling them that their main missions have been completed one after another. What is going on!

After some time, the ball of light finally appeared,

“Huuuu….I’m so tired….” The ball of light was almost completely transparent and it was obvious that it had taken considerable damage. The once bright and shiny Fatty has now turned into a dim translucent ball that emitted very little light.

“Fatty, what is…going on?” Gu Anran asked.

“Apologies, this system can’t explain anything. For now, please continue as usual with the current situation. Handing over the plot now.”

《A Life Together in the Last Days》The female lead of this novel is the Eldest Young Miss of the Black Dragon Triad and the male lead is the Young Master of Azure Dragon Triad. Both were part of two triads that were top powers in the underworld and have been engaged since childhood. The end of the world suddenly came during one of the school holidays. The male lead and female lead lead the only classmates still alive on campus to escape the school. Along the way to City A, the already good relationship between the male and female leads quickly developed even deeper. Soon they came to the headquarters of the Black Dragon and Azure Dragon triads where they hoped to create a safe base for the remaining survivors.

Young, promising, full of strength and talents, they continued to expand outward with the original triads’ headquarters in the middle. They accelerated the contractions, elmiated dissidents, and became the number one base in the area. However, in the end, the big boss, the fearsome Zombie King, led an unprecedented wave of zombies to flatten the base. When the situation was at its critical junction, the male lead and female lead successfully made breakthroughs in their powers and successfully killed the Zombie King. They achieved victory and led mankind to build a new kingdom. They developed technology to protect their people and became legends that were praised by everyone in this apocalyptic world.

Originally, the bodies Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi were currently in were cannon fodder characters that turned into zombies in the first two days of the apocalypse. However, because of their transmigration, the transformation has not occurred yet.

“Oh, right, the only main mission left to complete now is to defeat the Zombie King.” The system added.

“Huh? What about the female villainess lead?” Hong Qingyi asked in confusion.

The female villainess in this novel is named Li Wenjiao who is deeply in love with the male lead. She could be considered the (pseudo) silly-pretty type. Her methods and schemes are quite powerful, and if Mu Qingli wasn’t the female lead, Li Wenjiao would have probably taken her place. However, as the female lead, Mu Qingli was virtually immortal and like kicking an iron plate, Li Wenjiao couldn’t do anything. She later died in one of the last rampaging zombie tides. However, Li Wenjiao should still be alive right now and rushing out of the school as they speak!

“Li Wenjiao died when she was 13.” The system said lightly.

“Then there should be another character to take her place as a villainess, right?” Gu Anran remembers what the system said before. If someone else kills one of the villain leads, someone else will appear to take their place. Of course, it’s a different story if they had died by the female lead or male lead’s hands…

“Although her death was marked as accidental, it was determined that it was indeed the female lead who had ordered someone else to do it. However, even though the female villainess lead has died, there will still be another minor villain character appearing to ensure that life will still be as exciting as before.” The system explained.

Damn it! Aren’t zombies exciting enough? You want to make it more exciting?!!! The entire plot is messed up! A hideous mess!

“By the way, do we have any supernatural abilities?” Hong Qingyi gestured with her hands excitedly.

In the plot, Mu Qingli has two supernatural dual powers, lighting and telekinesis abilities. Chi Mengyan has the super rare healing ability while Duan Hongwu has fire, which may seem ordinary, but as the male lead his flames are different. His flames are black and the temperature is several times higher than those of ordinary flames while being quite powerful. Finally, Song Wenyan has the earth ability. All in all, it can be said those four held the most diverse supernatural abilities in this apocalyptic world!

“No.” Fantasy may be beautiful, but reality is often cruel! The system confirmed and its words directly stabbed into their hearts.

“How can we survive in the apocalypse without any supernatural powers!” Hong Qingyi wailed.

“Dear players, you can buy them with points. You now have a total of 255,500 points. You can buy the equipment, abilities, weapons or whatever you want.

“Really??! Quick, show us your selection!” Hong Qingyi said excitedly.

The system immediately projected three screens with a variety of images on it. Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi looked at the supernatural abilities list.

Tsk, there are thousands of different types of abilities and some of them were quite weird, but all of them were very expensive. An ordinary supernatural ability is already 20,000 points and the better the ability, the more expensive. For example, the ‘Space’ ability requires 100,000 points, which is quite a scary amount.”

“Dear players, because of your previously allocated points, your current physiques are already comparable to Tier-2 Strength users. However, your physiques can no longer be upgraded so it is suggested that you do not buy any abilities that are similar to the Strength ability.

The system helpfully gave some suggestions.

Hmm….if they chose along the lines of gaining abilities the current leads don’t have….Gu Anran’s eyes narrowed on the water-type abilities and ice-type abilities.

Hmmm…water would be practical for survival as a sort of water dispenser while ice abilities are more aggressive and powerful. Ice drills, cones, etc, all have very high attack power.

Which one should she choose? Gu Anran deliberated for a while but chose the water ability in the end. After all, drinking water will be very scarce later on with the water sources being polluted and although the ice ability can form ice cubes, the ice will not melt easily. Therefore, the water ability users are more useful. Not to mention the ability is 20,000 points higher than the ice one at 60,000 points.

“I want the water ability.” Gu Anran said. Following her words, a blue, water-like bead flew into her brain. Then with just a thought, a small ball of water immediately floated above her hand. Amazing!

“Huh? Anran, you already finished choosing?!” Hong Qingyi was still conflicted over her choices. In the end, she decided to go with the speed ability. With the power of superspeed and fists as strong as Tier-2 Strength users, her combined combat power was quite extraordinary. It also cost 40,000 points.

Tsk, so many points gone in a blink of an eye….

“Please choose a weapon. If necessary, the system can select the appropriate weapon for you.”

The two nodded at the system’s suggestion and two weapons appeared. Gu Anran was given a plain, pure black sword that looked similar to a samurai’s katana and Hong Qingyi was given a dark red dagger.

“My weapon..?” Gu Anran looked at the description on the screen above her. According to the description, the sword is called “Obsidian” and can cut through iron like mud. Furthermore, blood cannot stick to it so there is no need to clean it after battle. However, the price tag of 70,000 was quite exorbitant.

“So expensive….and am I going to be an assassin or something?” Hong Qingyi smiled bitterly at the weapon named Ochre. As about thirty centimeters long, it was a bit longer than a normal dagger and its price was the same as the Obsidian in Gu Anran’s hands. 70,000.

If they choose to purchase these two weapons, their point total will be severely depleted.

“No need to worry about points. Dear players can also get points from killing zombies. 10 points for ordinary zombies, 50 points for Tier-1 zombies, 200 points for Tier-2 zombies…and points for mutant plants or animals will depend on the situation. The system hurriedly said.

So 10,000 Tier 1 zombies must be killed to get 100,000 points? Seems simple enough, Gu Arnan thought.

The two of them discussed it and decided to go ahead and buy the two weapons in the end. They did need to have some better self-defense after all.

Gu Anran looked at the blade in her hand,…it’s somewhat heavy… and with scabbard it was around fifty kilograms. If it was the old Gu Anran, she would not be able to even hold it, but now it can be easily lifted.

Meanwhile, Hong Qingyi was fiercely waving her blade and the afterimages looked like a tornado of red light and shadow was surrounding her.

“En…not bad, it suits me pretty well.” Hong Qingyi said with satisfaction, tilted her head to think, and then suggested, “Although, don’t we need a space-storage item? It’ll be convenient to have something to store our collected materials.”

“But we only have 15,000 points left.” Gu Anran smiled bitterly.

“The system suggests you buy this.” The system said and a white bracelet appeared on the screen.

“This is an upgradable storage bracelet. As long as you earn enough points, you can upgrade it and the more you upgrade, the more stuff you can put in it. One bracelet is only 15,000 but you can only buy one.”

Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi smiled at each other. If they can only buy one, so be it. They trust each other with their lives, who else in this world can they trust more than each other?

They purchased the bracelet and decided that Gu Anran should hold it. The two of them quickly sorted out the water and food that was in the dormitory. Since there were four people’s worth of things in the room, they had quite a bit of food. With 30 packs of instant noodles, nine packs of biscuits, five bars of chocolate, three packs of soft sweeks, two bags of dried meat and a dozen assorted small candies, they had quite the abundant amount of resources.

They grabbed two backpacks and put some clean clothes, toilet paper, and sanitary pads in it. As for everything else, they placed it in the bracelet.

There is five square meters of space in the bracelet, which is more than enough to hold their things.

They put on their backpacks, grabbed their weapons, and walked out of the dorm.
