Apocalypse: System of lotteries



As it was approaching the afternoon, the sunlight became more scorching. Ming threw out a tent, and covered himself inside, with the tent door facing the edge of the mist. He pulled out a sofa, leaned in, and waited.

At present, the difficulty for Kubo to return had increased once again. First, he had to avoid the eyeless creature. Second, he couldn't encounter the Four-Armed Vashak when he was returning to the city.

After all, the latter had eyes and could see Kubo inside the car.

To be honest, Ming didn't want Kubo to become a 'decoration', because there was a golden card in his pocket. Kubo's value at the moment, how could it compare to Lawrence's?

A common decoration, a very expensive decoration, they were worlds apart.

One hour later, Ming activated the Puppeteer's Eye to check the surroundings again. He didn't find the eyeless creature. It should really have gone, right?

It was so powerful, it shouldn't always be at odds with a car, should it?

"Drive~"

"Drive slowly~"

"Stop!"

After Ming issued the commands, he took another look around and didn't find the eyeless creature. 

Good.

"Keep driving!"

"Avoid deep pits and large cracks..."

"Do not hit anything that makes a loud noise."

"..."

After finishing the instructions, he disconnected the skill and took another look at the edge of the mist. Standing outside, you can't see the real world inside, and the monsters inside can't see the outside world.

This was the conclusion he reached when he was riding Raoul and flying around outside just now. If the monsters inside could see him outside, he wouldn't have been in the mist for so long and they would have chased him sooner.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was such a large place inside the mist, there couldn't be only these two monsters, right?

Immediately, he activated the Puppeteer's Eye, shifted his perspective, looked around, and gave Kubo instructions.

"Once you're out of the city, head south, once you hit the road, return the way you came."

"Remember to walk on the road."

"Keep an eye on your surroundings too. If you encounter anything living, stop the car and turn off the engine immediately, stay calm!"

"Remember, you're a zombie, you look scarier than those monsters, they can't scare you!"

"But, don't go out and challenge them alone."

"..."

After instructing Kubo with many survival tips, Ming never thought that taking things easy would one day apply to a zombie, who could have thought of that?

Then he looked around again through the shifted perspective, and only after confirming no abnormality, did he disconnect the skill.

Actually, his idea was simple. The path Kubo initially took went smoothly without encountering any monsters, so he planned to let Kubo drive back the same way.

The advantage of doing so was to reduce the risk of encountering monsters. As for the Four-Armed Vashak blocking the way back, he had already thought of a strategy.

If he can confirm that Kubo is returning from point A, then he would enter the mist, and lead the Four-Armed to point B, in this way, Kubo can drive back worry-free.

This... was not difficult at all, Ming was quite proficient in this aspect.

At the same time, he calculated the current position of Kubo based on its driving speed and time, figuring out that it had already gotten on the highway.

After shifting his perspective, he saw a highway with a few abandoned cars scattered across it, and trees on both sides had long been dead.

Yes, it was this highway. It seemed that Kubo was really a zombie who was good at driving.

For such a talented zombie, Ming decided to keep Kubo and not turn it into an experience for now.

After disconnecting, he continued to wait.

Every now and then, Ming would shift his perspective to check. Now, what Kubo carried was not as simple as a valuable card, but a kind of mission.

Ming stood up, took out a rope, and tied a piece of the mutated creature's meat on it. This was the feed for the worm farm.

"Go~"

Then he threw it into the mist with a flick of his wrist. Suddenly, the rope was pulled taut again, being dragged into the mist.

"It's really still here."

Ming calmly let go of the rope, his goal was to verify whether the Four-Armed was here or not, not to have a tug of war with it.

The rope quickly flew into the mist. The other party really was pulling the rope hard again, it seemed that the Four-Armed was not very bright.

Switching his perspective, Ming took advantage of Kubo and saw the ruins of the city ahead, which was the direction of home.

At this moment, his gaze fell on the rear-view mirror.

"Floor the accelerator!!"

"Now is the time to test your real driving skills!"

"Quick!!"

Ming quickly issued the instructions because he saw the white figure in the rear-view mirror, the Eyeless creature!

It was just as he feared!

This time, Ming didn't dare to let Kubo stop the car anymore, because there was only one car around here. If they stopped, they might not have the same stroke of luck as before.

Now there was only one word: run!

Thankfully, he still had enough endurance to handle this.

But, the car's speed was already at its maximum, and they hadn't been able to shake off the Eyeless creature behind them. Instead, the distance between the two was slowly closing.

"Damn!"

Just as it seemed that Kubo could safely and smoothly return home, the Eyeless creature appeared at this moment. How could they be so unlucky?

The most crucial part was that there was an Eyeless creature behind them and a Four-Armed Vashak ahead, and he was not in a position to distract it now. The current situation was a true pincer attack, it seemed that Kubo's chances of survival were slim.

There were wolves in front and tigers behind!

"Huh? Wolves and tigers?"

What would happen if a wolf met a tiger?

Would they fight?

If they did fight, would they both be injured? If both were injured, could he take advantage of the situation?

"I am destined to be a fisherman since I have a fishing rod."

"Let's make a big bet!"

"Kubo, drive, accelerate, to the right!"

Ming issued the command. To the right, was the direction of the Four-Armed Vashak. Today, either they would get a golden card or at least three golden cards!

It made the most sense for all three cards to belong to him!

Meanwhile, the Eyeless creature in the rear-view mirror was getting closer and closer. He hoped they wouldn't encounter the wolf before being eaten by the tiger.

Here we go again!

Thankfully, the road was smooth!

"To the left, don't crash, keep your foot on the gas pedal!"

"Your life and death are now in your own hands!"

"Come on, Kubo, you are a zombie with great luck!"

At this point, Ming could only shout slogans. What else could he do?

Then, through Kubo's perspective, he finally saw the Four-Armed Vashak not far ahead and continued to instruct Kubo to press hard on the gas pedal.

Ten seconds later, inside the mist, the explosive car stopped. 30 meters ahead was the Vashak with wings on its back, and 30 meters behind was the flat-bellied Eyeless creature.

At this moment, all three parties were standing still.

Through Kubo's perspective, Ming noticed that these two monsters were facing each other. Of course, although the Eyeless creature had no eyes, it should know through its sense of smell or something that there was an epic-level creature ahead.

"Since you both appreciate each other so much?"

"Kubo, choose another direction to drive, let's leave first."

At this moment, Kubo started driving. Apparently, the Eyeless creature didn't want to give up its 'prey' that it had been chasing for so long and immediately ran towards the explosive car.

At the same time, not far from the edge of the mist, a figure jumped out and shouted loudly, "Come on,  let's have a one-on-one fight!"
