Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: E-Rank Pan

After finishing her dinner, Su Jiyai went to bed.

The next day, just when she finished her shower, she received a call.

Su Jiyai instantly answered,

“Hello?”

“Is…is this the place advertised on the flyer? The residential area with 24/7 electricity and free water?” a hesitant voice on the other end asked.

Su Jiyai smiled,

“Yes.”

She recognized the voice.

There was a brief pause before the voice continued.

“I’m Fei Bao. We met yesterday. I have some people interested in renting rooms, but we need to see the place first. Can you arrange that?”

“Of course,” Su Jiyai replied smoothly. “When would you like to come by?”

“Is today possible?” Fei Bao asked, sounding slightly more confident.

“Absolutely. How about in an hour?” Su Jiyai suggested.

“That works. We’ll be there,” Fei Bao confirmed before hanging up.

Just then her phone rang again.

“Hello-”

“Help! Help!” From the other side, a slightly crying voice sounded.

Su Jiyai’s face changed, as a soldier who once served the country, her instincts kicked in immediately. She straightened up, her senses heightened.

“Who’s this? Where are you?” she demanded, her voice firm.

“I am Rui Wang!” the voice stammered. “We… we were attacked by zombies… we’re at the old factory on Elm Street. Please, we need help!”

Elm Street was not far from her residential area. She(Su Jiyai) could get there quickly, but she needed to be prepared.

“Hang on, I’m on my way. Stay hidden and stay quiet,” she instructed, grabbing her gear.

The system’s voice echoed in her mind as she equipped herself with her weapons and essentials.

[Host, proceed with caution. The situation may be more dangerous than it seems.]

“You can access the situation?” Su Jiayi asked while putting on clothes.

[Yes, host. I advise you to equip yourself with some defensive items.]

When Su Jiyao thought of the outrageous prices of weapons she was reluctant but considering the safety of her customers, Su Jiyai gritted her teeth, and bought an E-Rank pan.

Yes! Pan!

Su Jiyai’s face turned black.

What to do?

Her system was filled with weird items!

Other than the F-Rank dragger, all the draggers were double the price of weapons of the same rank.

Like the E-Rank dragger…it should cost 100,000 points since all the E-Rank weapons cost 100,000 points, but this E-Rank dragger costs 200,000 points!

So Su Jiyai decided to do some other item.

To her dismay, the options were very weird!

Pan, rolling pin, spatula, and even a broom were listed as E-Rank weapons.

She sighed deeply, gripping the handle of the pan. At least it was better than nothing.

It took Su Jiyai less than 10 minutes to reach Elm Street.

When she arrived, the scene that greeted her was horrifying—a horde of zombies swarming the entrance of the old factory.

Their decaying bodies pressed against the doors and windows and clawing.

Su Jiyai guessed that Rui Wang and her group were trapped inside, and she needed to create a distraction to draw the zombies away.

On the other hand, Rui Wang’s father Rui Xiao was breathing heavily as if he was about to die any second.

Beside him was Rui Wang’s husband, Fu Lin who too was seriously injured.

Rui Xiao looked at his daughter and gritted his teeth,

“Why don’t you leave? Just leave me alone here! I never treated you right during your childhood! You should take your revenge by leaving me now!”

A hint of bitterness was visible in his tone.

In his entire life, Rui Xiao always favored boys over girls.

But he was betrayed by his own son in the end and the one who helped in the end was his daughter.

He regretted not favoring her.

But now…there was no use. They were destined to die…

How could they escape a place surrounded by zombies when the only superpower user Fu Lin was gravely injured?

Now that he knew, his daughter was so good, he wanted her to live. He even had a plan in his mind as to how to help his daughter escape.

Fu Lin nodded weakly,

“Wang’er you should leave. I will distract the zombies, you leave!”

“No! I have asked for an expert’s help! That person would be arriving soon! Please hold on!” Rui Wang’s eyes turned red.

Fu Lin chuckled bitterly.

His Wang’er was very naive and easily believed in scams…He was truly worried that once he died, she would be used by someone.

“Wang’er be good. Listen to me. Those flyers are all scams. Once they know that we struck in such a place no one will come to save us.

Scammers nowadays are too advanced, they would first make you believe in them and then—”

Rui Wang covered his mouth and said,

“Shut up! The expert will come for sure!”

Just then they heard the sound of a car screeching to a halt outside the factory.

Rui Wang’s heart leaped with hope, but Rui Xiao and Fu Lin exchanged doubtful glances. Could this really be the expert Rui Wang had called?

Outside, Su Jiyai emerged from her vehicle, gripping her E-Rank pan tightly. She took a deep breath, assessing the situation.

Rui Wang hurriedly walked to the window and said with a smile,

“See I told you the expert will come…”

Midway through her sentence she stopped.

Fu Lin was curious when he saw Rui Wang’s constipated expression and slowly moved toward the window.

Then…he too froze.

Now even Rui Xiao was curious, when he peeked outside, he saw a figure wrapped in light pink clothes just like a mummy. The figure had a veil and a pan in her hand.

It looked as if the figure was planning to fight against the zombies with the pan.

“Wang’er this is not the expert you were talking about, right?” Fu Lin asked stiffly.

Rui Wang bite her lips,

“I don’t think so…”

Suddenly the figure looked in Rui Wang’s direction and waved her hand.

Rui Wang: “…” I take my words back.

Fu Lin: “…” Why does this scammer… look so cute?

Rui Xiao: “…” Hm…so there is someone navier than his daughter?

Rui Wang almost collapsed.

Even if she didn’t know much about the world, she knew one thing…

A person can’t fight against zombies with a pan…

So did she truly get scammed?

Fu Lin saw the lost look on Rui Wang’s face and patted her shoulder,

“Don’t worry we can still escape…”

“Miss Rui, are you inside the building?” A loud mechanical voice sounded.

When the trio looked down, they saw the figure holding a megaphone.

The voice was so loud, that zombies from other areas started to walk towards the figure and the entrance of the old factory.

Fu Lin: “…” Good.

Rui Xiao: “…” We will truly die.

Rui Wang hurriedly opened the window and waved her hand to ask the figure to go back but…

In Su Jiyai’s eyes, Rui Wang was clearly excited.

“Okay, Miss Rui I have spotted you!” She said in her megaphone.

There were five floors in the old factory, she couldn’t check every floor, right? Hence Su Jiyai thought of this trick and it truly worked.

Rui Wang: “…” No! I don’t want you to spot me! With your personality, I might die before you reach our location.

Finally, Rui Wang knelt down and cried softly,

“I am sorry! I am truly sorry because of my mistake, we all three are going to die now! Wu…wu…wu”

Fu Lin and Rui Xiao felt uncomfortable when they saw Rui Wang crying.

Fu Lin consoled her,

“It’s okay. Don’t worry. You were only trying to help.”

“It would be better if I didn’t help! Now I have called a mummy who is hellbent on killing us! Wu…wu…wu! I thought I had awakened a superpower called luck.

In my dreams…I saw myself awakening a superpower called luck. When I woke up and by accident saw the flyer, I had a strange intuition and put it in my pocket.

I called the number because my instincts were telling me that we would be saved and meet a big shot…but…but! Wu wu wu, I think I have unlocked a superpower named bad luck.

That phone number is bad luck, that mummy-like figure is bad luck, and the pan he is holding bad luck!”

Fu Lin didn’t want to…but for some reason…he couldn’t control herself and laughed.

“Pfft…Hahaha!”

Rui Wang saw Fu Lin and stopped crying.

At least her husband laughed a little.

“Hey, that bad luck mummy has picked up the bad luck pan and is about to start fighting.” Rui Xiao said lightly.

If Su Jiyai heard their comments, she would have become angry.

What bad luck?

And how could they call her mummy? It was too outrageous!

She was a gorgeous big shot, okay?

Alas, Su Jiyai couldn’t listen to their conversation because she was busy preparing herself to fight against the zombies.
