Apocalypse: I Choose To Stop Time - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Time Freeze!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ding.”

“Host: Thomson.”

“Age: 25.”

“Strength: 10 (10 points for ordinary people).”

“Speed: 10 (10 points for ordinary people).”

“Vitality: 12 (10 points for ordinary people).”

“Spirit: 13 (10 points for ordinary people).”

“Special ability: time freeze. The higher the host’s spirit ability is, the longer the duration of time freeze and the greater the range of effect. Currently, the host can freeze time for one minute, causing the surrounding 50 meters to be in a time freeze state.”

[The system has issued the first mission: kill a zombie within one minute.]

[The host is requested to kill a zombie as soon as possible. Upon completion of the mission, you’ll receive one of the three rewards.]

After the system had issued the mission, an hourglass appeared on the system interface.

This meant that Thomson could freeze time for a period of time.

It also meant that Thomson would need to kill a zombie before time in the hourglass ended.

Among the many powers, the time power was the same as the space power, which belonged to a special kind of power.

Although the power was special and powerful, it had a certain weakness.

The weakness was that it would consume a lot more spiritual power than ordinary powers.

Thomson’s spiritual power was quite good, three points higher than ordinary people.

Even so, Thomson could only stop time for a minute.

If it were any other ordinary person, they would only be able to hold on for a few dozen seconds.

Thinking of this, Thomson began to think about his first mission – to kill a zombie.

This mission was simply too easy for him.

After all, these zombies had been frozen in time.

Although these zombies were much stronger than humans, they did not feel pain and were not afraid of death.

They would feed on humans and instinctively bite and eat them.

If a zombie and a human were to fight, in terms of strength, the winner would definitely be a zombie.

As long as humans had weapons or enough intelligence, it was not impossible to kill zombies.

Although human bodies were inferior to zombies’ bodies, human beings had intelligence and zombies only had simple instinctive reactions.

Therefore, killing zombies was not a difficult task for smart people.

Thomson looked at the socialite-turned-zombie, who was closest to him.

He saw the twisted face of the socialite.

If the socialite was still alive, she would not want him to become like this.

With this in mind, Thomson decided to help the socialite get out of trouble.

He picked up the wrench left in the room to repair the sewer.

Thomson smashed the socialite’s head with the wrench.

Without any effort, the socialite’s head was split open.

The socialite’s head was like a broken watermelon. White brain matter flowed all over the floor.

Fortunately, Thomson had seen many of these terrifying scenes in the past few days.

Therefore, his mental endurance had greatly increased.

“Ding dong.”

At the same time, the system mechanical voice sounded in Thomson’s mind.

“Congratulations, host, for killing a fallen zombie.”

“Host’s quest, killing a zombie. Quest completed.”

“Congratulations, host, for obtaining a reward of three choices. The reward is as follows.”

[One: one free attribute point.]

[Two: a loyal and obedient zombie.]

[Three: a sharp tang knife.]

As for the first choice, free attribute points meant that one could freely add points to one’s own attributes.

By adding points, one could increase one’s strength and become stronger.

As for the second choice, it was a zombie that listened to orders.

‘What the hell did I need an ugly zombie for? Although it could help me resist danger to a certain extent.

‘If I keep this kind of thing by my side, I’ll have nightmares at night.’

Thomson felt that this zombie was not as good as the peerless beauty from last time.

After all, the beauty had the function of comforting his body.

As for the third option, it was a sharp tang knife.

Thomson looked at the wrench in his hand. It was a little difficult to use.

For the sharp tang knife, the wrench was much less useful.

It was still easy to use a weapon.

Thomson looked at the three options again and eliminated the second option.

Which was better – a free attribute point or a weapon.

While Thomson was thinking, the sand in the hourglass had elapsed.

The time freeze had been broken.

Outside the door, the sound of zombies slamming on the door could be heard once again.

It was as if everything that had just happened had never happened.

Only the socialite lying on the ground could convince Thomson that everything that had just happened was real.

‘A single free attribute point, if added to my strength, could make me stronger.

‘If I added it to my speed, it would make my speed faster and my walking speed would be as fast as flying.

‘If I added it to my constitution, it would make my constitution better and I’d have more endurance.

‘If I added it to my spiritual power, it would allow me to use my time freeze ability for a longer period of time.

‘Unfortunately, I only had one free attribute point.

‘If only I had more.

‘A weapon such as a sharp tang knife, would greatly increase my combat power.

‘After all, having a handy weapon was very important.

‘Whether I had a weapon or not, I’d only know the difference when I fought against zombies.

‘If I went to look for a weapon now, I definitely wouldn’t be able to find it within a short period of time.

‘Meanwhile, a group of zombies outside the door were eyeing me like a tiger eyeing its prey.’

Although the wrench could be used, it was not easy to kill zombies.

The virus from the zombies could splash onto his body.

If the virus splashed onto his body, he might turn into a zombie as well.

The sharp tang knife given by the system must be extremely sharp. A tang knife that could cut off even hair…

This way, it would be much more convenient to kill zombies.

Just as Thomson was thinking…

“Bang!”

The wooden door finally could not withstand the pressure and had broken into pieces.

Thomson could not waste any more time.

Five or six zombies swarmed over like a tide.

They bared their fangs and brandished their claws at Thomson.

Thomson frowned and no longer hesitated.

‘System, I choose the third option.’ Thomson shouted in his heart.

Against so many zombies, it was not easy to deal with them without sharp weapons.

Using time freeze and the sharp tang knife, these zombies would cry at his mercy. Why did they have to provoke a god like Thomson?

Just as Thomson made his choice, a sharp tang knife appeared in his hand.

The tang knife emitted a cold light.

At this moment, the second mission of the system appeared!

He had experienced the mission issued by the system.

Thomson knew that the missions given by the system were simple but the rewards were exceptionally generous.

Thomson knew that he was about to receive another generous reward, one out of three options.
