Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Different Currency
Yes, Su Jiyai resented her life sometimes, but she always remembered how her Brother Qin would say with a bright face,

“Jiyai, if possible I want to eliminate all the zombies. Once they are eliminated, maybe we can buy two houses and live as neighbors.

It is my dream to see a peaceful world. ”

Su Jiyai always thought that her dream was to awaken a superpower, but that day…she understood something.

To awaken a superpower was her ambition.

If Qin Feng’s dream was to see a peaceful world, her dream was to look at the peaceful world together with him.

That day she realized…her dream was Qin Feng…

Now…even though Qin Feng wasn’t with her she still carried his dream within her.

With such a powerful system by her side, Su Jiyai felt she could fulfill Qin Feng’s dream, but…who would fulfill hers?

If Brother Qin was by her side, she might have tried to fulfill it but…

Su Jiyai felt a lump in her throat, she blinked her eyes and clenched her fist.

The sound of choked sobs echoed in the silent car.

By the time Su Jiyai reached her base, she had calmed down.

She motivated herself,

“Jiyai you can’t give up! Not when you don’t know the actual situation! Think about the best-case scenario! Brother Qin is alive! He is alive!

As long as you spread your base, you will find him!”

When Su Jiyai felt better she returned to the base and started to monitor the two people planted by Chen Mu.

Her idea was pretty simple, as long as those people stayed in the base, she could gain temporary peace.

Chen Mu had placed two moles in her base and wanted them to cause trouble. He will most likely focus all of his energy on them.

With the system by her side, and her own personal monitoring, those two won’t be able to cause any trouble.

In a way, Su Jiyai doesn’t need to worry about what Chen Mu may do.

She heard the conversation that the system had recorded and chuckled.

According to the system the central energy source that Cheng Fan and Lee Yao were thinking of finding, was hidden in a place they could never think of or reach.

“Let them waste time.” Su Jiyai casually waved her hand.

[Host there is one more matter that you need to address.]

“What is it?”

[Lin Hao has woken up.]

“Oh? What is he doing?” Su Jiyai asked curious.

[Host, he is examining the base and trying to check how secure the base is. When he first woke up, he panicked and almost made a scene, until he saw all the other tenants.]

“Hm…maybe he thought he had returned to the experimental institute. Anyways, call him back.”

[Sure host.]

…

2 hours before.

Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

The moment he saw the white ceiling, he jumped up from the bed.

He expected a sharp pain on his wrist but to his surprise, he wasn’t chained at all.

Lin Hao blinked in confusion, his heart racing as he scanned the unfamiliar room.

The last thing that he remembered was talking with a mummy-like woman.

He thought the woman would most likely dump him in the same experimental lab, he had stayed at earlier or maybe she would drop him at some cheap inn, where those monsters would again capture him and take him to the institute.

But this place was different.

The room was clean, and almost cozy, with soft lighting and minimal decor. There were no restraints, no ominous machines, and no sign of the people who had tormented him for so long.

For a moment, Lin Hao hesitated, unsure of what to do.

Pushing himself up, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, swaying slightly as he tried to find his balance.

The room seemed to spin for a moment, but he quickly shook off the dizziness and moved toward the door.

He reached for the handle, half-expecting it to be locked, but it turned easily under his hand. The door creaked open, revealing a long hallway with several other rooms.

Lin Hao stepped out cautiously, his eyes darting around for any sign of danger.

The hallway was eerily quiet, but he could hear faint voices coming from somewhere nearby. His pulse quickened, and he followed the sound.

Soon he reached a cozily decorated living room with a vending machine, a huge dining table, a sofa, and a small reception desk.

There were many humans, which made Lin Hao relaxed.

Looking at the vending machine, Lin Hao’s stomach started to rumble.

His hunger reached to peak when he smelled the delicious fragrance of the cup noodles. He gulped to not portray himself as a beggar and walked toward the vending machine calmly.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a Level 4 Zombie crystal.

Just as he was wondering how to buy the cup noodles, a cheerful voice asked,

“Sir, are you new here?”

Lin Hao looked around to find who was speaking but he saw no one.

Someone suddenly tugged on his shirt and Lin Hao lowered his gaze, only to find a small cute boy who looked as if he was a 7-year-old child.

“Uh, yeah,” Lin Hao replied awkwardly, still holding the Level 4 Zombie crystal in his hand. “I’m new here. Do you know how this thing works?”

The boy tilted his head, eyeing the crystal curiously.

“That’s a Zombie crystal! You must be strong to have one of those. But, you don’t need that here. The vending machine uses a different kind of currency.”

Lin Hao frowned slightly, glancing at the vending machine.

“Currency? What kind?”

The boy giggled, clearly amused by Lin Hao’s confusion.

“You need points! But don’t worry, if you’re new, you probably haven’t set up your account yet. Want me to show you how?”

Lin Hao hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Sure, that would be helpful.”
