A faint footstep sound came from next door.
Ning Yu held her breath and listened closely. This person's footsteps seemed heavier than Xu Qiang's.
[Ding! Beginner task (1/3): Kill Xu Qiang completed!]
[Reward issued: Free Attribute Point *1, 50 points]
Hearing this prompt again, Ning Yu didn't hesitate to allocate this attribute point to her physical ability.
Her physical ability reached 5 points, achieving the average level of a normal adult.
Ning Yu still felt that her method of taking down Xu Qiang was slower than in her previous life.
Her physical ability still had a considerable gap compared to her former self.
Now, with the other man from next door about to arrive, Ning Yu calmly considered for a moment.
She quickly sprang into action.
She took the dagger from Xu Qiang's corpse.
Xu Qiang hadn't even used the dagger earlier; he had been too careless.
[Ding! Beginner task (2/3) triggered: Kill Wang Fuxiang]
[Task reward: Free Attribute Point *1, 100 points]
The footsteps grew louder.
The prompt for the second stage of the chain of beginner tasks rang in Ning Yu's mind.
....
Wang Fuxiang and Xu Qiang were a pair of part-time taxi drivers who originally prowled the streets.
They engaged in fighting, robbery, and trafficking, committing all sorts of evil deeds.
They had been in and out of prison several times, essentially becoming regulars.
With the advent of the apocalypse, the entire world fell into chaos.
For these two villains, it was like a fish finding water.
It even allowed the flower of evil in their hearts, previously constrained by law, to bloom more viciously.
In the past few days, they had killed many innocent survivors and abused numerous women.
Especially Xu Qiang, who had some peculiar preferences, which Wang Fuxiang actually looked down upon.
The two of them lived extravagantly, killing zombies and then killing people to rob their belongings, living quite comfortably.
Today they targeted this small supermarket, having scoped it out several times before.
There were plenty of supplies inside, enough for the two of them to splurge for quite a while.
They pretended to be weak and helpless survivors seeking help, and the kind-hearted supermarket couple opened the door for them.
As a result, the two men ambushed them with a few knife strikes, killing the supermarket owner and his wife, then heard the sound of a woman fleeing inside.
Xu Qiang, unable to control his lust, rushed in first.
Wang Fuxiang leisurely began to plunder the items in the supermarket.
Now that Xu Qiang suddenly wasn't responding, Wang Fuxiang couldn't help but curse silently at how this guy couldn't control his lower half.
As he approached the broken warehouse door, he smelled a faint scent of blood mixed with the dust.
This made Wang Fuxiang alert.
He grabbed the axe tucked at his waist, its blade still stained with the fresh blood of the supermarket owner couple.
"Xu Qiang, what are you..."
Wang Fuxiang had just entered the warehouse, about to speak, when he was shocked by the scene before him.
Xu Qiang lay motionless in a pool of blood, already dead.
Beside him on the ground, a girl in a dirty light blue school uniform showed obvious signs of being beaten, her eyes full of tears.
She was shaking uncontrollably, looking at Wang Fuxiang's direction with terrified eyes that seemed somewhat unfocused and dazed.
In her hand, she clutched a bloodstained utility knife.
Wang Fuxiang immediately understood, inwardly cursing Xu Qiang as a lustful idiot.
He figured Xu Qiang must have been careless and ambushed by this schoolgirl.
He didn't speak, gripping his axe tightly.
The schoolgirl in front of him was clearly still in a daze after killing someone.
He planned to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly kill her with one axe blow.
He didn't want to die at the hands of a high school student like the careless pervert Xu Qiang.
As he got closer to the girl, he suddenly felt something strange.
Although this schoolgirl kept looking in his direction, the terror in her eyes wasn't focused on him.
It was slightly behind him, at his back!
Not good!
Wang Fuxiang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his pupils contracting sharply as he quickly turned his head.
But it was too late.
From behind, a sharp, intense pain pierced through his chest.
A dagger had mercilessly stabbed through his short, fat body from behind, piercing his heart.
It was Xu Qiang's dagger.
He looked behind him in disbelief, his eyes wide.
It was a little loli whose dress and cheeks were stained red with blood.
The red setting sun shining on her cheeks made it difficult to distinguish whether it was blood or the glow of sunset.
She was just smiling slightly, making a gesture of silence, which was meant for Shen Yiyue.
Wang Fuxiang never imagined that the terrified schoolgirl was actually bait to lure him in.
He had already transformed from hunter to prey long ago.
The massive blood loss brought shock and intense pain, overwhelming him.
Wang Fuxiang's vision went dark, and he collapsed into the pool of blood.
Shen Yiyue was already shocked and terrified beyond measure, her brain completely shut down.
She never imagined that the seemingly harmless little loli, after waking up, would completely change into a different person.
She had consecutively taken down two vicious criminals, her methods so practiced, even cunning and ruthless.
What was even more frightening was that Ning Yu's face showed no emotional fluctuations at all; she was uncannily calm.
After killing Xu Qiang, Ning Yu only thought for a few seconds before slowly walking over.
She placed the utility knife in Shen Yiyue's hand, making her grasp it.
This was to create the illusion that Shen Yiyue had accidentally killed Xu Qiang.
At that time, Shen Yiyue was already dumbfounded, just blankly holding the utility knife stained with Xu Qiang's blood, unable to react in time.
Then Ning Yu turned around, walked behind the kicked-open warehouse door to hide, not making any sound.
She also didn't leave any bloody footprints on the ground.
She just made a gesture of silence towards Shen Yiyue.
Like a cunning, experienced hunter, she used Shen Yiyue to set up a clever and deadly trap.
The lives of these two criminals were harvested in her hands as if she had merely stepped on two ants.
Was this really the same cute little loli who was sweetly calling her "big sister" just yesterday??
Shen Yiyue had almost accepted the fact that many ordinary citizens had turned into zombies eating people everywhere.
Yet she still found it hard to digest everything that had happened before her eyes.
Ning Yu stepped on Wang Fuxiang's corpse, gently using it as leverage to pull out the dagger stuck in his back.
She crouched down and stabbed him a few more times to ensure he was dead.
Then she skillfully wiped the blood off the dagger using Wang Fuxiang's clothes.
She looked towards Shen Yiyue, who was still frozen in the corner.
According to the rules of her organization in her previous life, she should clean up the scene and dispose of Shen Yiyue as a witness.
But now she had already died once.
She, this loyal "tool" and "blade" of the organization, was ultimately liquidated in the end.
Just like a pile of garbage, ruthlessly discarded by the organization.
Was there still a need to be so obedient and be a good "dog" for the organization?
No, she only felt that her past self was laughably naive.
Moreover, she still had a few questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Shen Yiyue in person.
So, Ning Yu, holding the now blood-free dagger, stood up.
She slowly walked towards Shen Yiyue.
Shen Yiyue, out of fear, was already staggering backward in terror.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
