Apocalypse: Infinite God-tier Options At The Beginning - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Headshot

When Xu Qi heard the system’s voice in his mind, he immediately calmed down.

He first ignored the first option of turning into a mindless zombie. To him, it was no different from dying.

As for the third option, because he had too little information, the relevant functions had not been unlocked yet. Therefore, in order to delay the spread of the virus, he could only choose the second option.

Xu Qi chanted in his heart. In the next second, a dark blue syringe appeared in his hand.

The syringe was accompanied by special materials. The size was similar to epinephrine and the stabilizer could be injected automatically.

Without hesitation, he injected the stabilizer into his arm. As a slight tingling sensation came over him, the symptoms of his fever were immediately relieved.

His trembling limbs slowly calmed down.

When Brother Hua saw that Xu Qi didn’t immediately turn into a zombie, he immediately realized that the other party was holding an antidote related to the virus. He was stunned.

The surrounding hooligans were also dumbfounded. Just now, Xu Qi was still convulsing as if he had a seizure. Why did he completely recover in just a few seconds?

“Um… Brother Xu, I made a mistake just now. This is a misunderstanding.”

Brother Hua’s expression turned ugly. He kept retreating, looking for an opportunity to escape.

He knew that after this battle, the other party would definitely not let him stay. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have waited for Xu Qi to completely become a zombie before falling out with him.

A warm smile appeared on Xu Qi’s face, but it made the surrounding hooligans panic.

Tang Wanqiu was furious. Before Xu Qi could attack, she raised her nail gun and shot at Brother Hua’s head.

Brother Hua wanted to say something else, but there was already a black iron nail on his forehead. He collapsed to the ground as if he was leaking air. His eyes became dull and he was no longer breathing.

Seeing that their boss, Brother Hua, had been shot in the head, the remaining hooligans were so scared that they peed in their pants. They hurriedly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Tang Wanqiu and Xu Qi.

“I’m sorry… Please spare my life.”

Tang Wanqiu put away the nail gun and turned to look at Xu Qi. Her face was still cold.

“These people will only cause trouble if we keep them alive. How about it? Shall we deal with these beasts?”

Killing intent surged in Xu Qi’s eyes. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. In the apocalypse, being kind to others was being cruel to oneself. Now that such a thing had happened, he could not let them stay!

However, if he killed them in the hypermarket, it would be troublesome dealing with their corpses. He might as well chase them out of the hypermarket and leave them to die.

At the thought of this, Xu Qi immediately pulled out his Tang saber and pointed at the five people in front of him.

“Stand up. Starting from now, I’m only giving you two minutes. Disappear from the hypermarket immediately. I’ll chop up anyone who appears in front of me again!”

The five hooligans under Brother Hua were shaking all over. It was already midnight, and there were still many zombies wandering outside the hypermarket. There was no food on them, so going out at this time was no different from being sent to their deaths.

However, compared to those zombies, Xu Qi was even scarier. If they went out, they could at least obtain a chance of survival. If they stayed, they would definitely face death.

Although the hooligans were extremely unwilling to leave, their lives were being threatened, so they quickly got up from the ground and walked towards the fire escape on the first floor.

Xu Qi followed behind with his saber. He had to watch these people leave.

The fire door leading to the hall on the first floor was opened. It was dark outside. Under the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see a few zombies wandering in the hall.

In front were zombies, and behind them was Xu Qi with a knife.

The five hooligans could only grit their teeth and walk out quietly, hoping to evacuate safely without attracting the attention of the zombies.

However, Xu Qi did not intend to let this group of beasts leave so easily. He immediately coughed hard and stood at the fire door, waving goodbye to them loudly.

“Ahem… I wish you a safe journey. After you go down, tell your Boss Hua that those who commit evil will die!”

Xu Qi’s shout was at least 70 decibels. The zombies in the hall immediately realized that there were living people around them. They howled and pounced at them.

Xu Qi sneered and slammed the fire door shut.

As he went upstairs, he could still vaguely hear the screams of the hooligans. He could not help but feel happy.

In the hall on the second floor, the remaining 11 women did not dare to look at Xu Qi. They could only gather around and wait for Xu Qi’s punishment.

After all, when Xu Qi was infected with the virus, they also showed disdain and fear. Perhaps they had angered him.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and clean this place up. Otherwise, I’ll stop your meal.”

Xu Qi cursed angrily. The female workers heaved a sigh of relief and immediately began to deal with Brother Hua’s corpse.

Xu Qi stood by the window and looked outside through a gap in the curtains. Under the cover of the night, the entire Qingzhou City seemed to have fallen asleep. There were no lights anywhere.

It had been nearly 12 hours since the zombie outbreak, and countless ordinary citizens had become food for the zombies. Now probably less than 30% of them would survive.

Even he was infected by the virus. If not for the system, he would have long become a zombie.

And he might even be one of those extremely destructive mutated zombies, the Scarlet Overlord.

But now, even if he injected the stabilizer, it would only extend his time by seven days. If he couldn’t obtain more information about the zombie virus in seven days, it still wouldn’t change the outcome!

His heart couldn’t help but feel heavy at the thought.

At this moment, light footsteps came from behind. He turned around and saw Tang Wanqiu walking towards him with a box.

“Why? Is something bothering you?”

Tang Wanqiu came to him and tilted her head in concern.

Xu Qi chuckled and explained, “No, I’m just a little emotional. Too many things happened in a short day.”

Tang Wanqiu gently stroked the hair on her forehead and said softly, “That’s right. The zombie virus outbreak took countless lives in a day. If I didn’t have your protection, I would probably be dead now.

But this kind of thing is not something we can decide. Instead of dwelling on this, it’s better to let it go. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

As Tang Wanqiu spoke, she waved the thing in her hand in front of Xu Qi and smiled. “Dang dang… Guess what I found?”
