Chapter 2

Scott drew in a breath of cold air, plopped down on his knees, and begged for forgiveness, ‘Mr Henry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have evil thoughts about you, we'll leave now, this ...... is the card we picked up before, all for you, we don't want anything.'

‘Mr Scott, do you know why I told you about picking up the cards?'

‘Wh... What, you did it on purpose?'

Henry shook his head as he walked over and smiled, ‘Of course, because I know you as a person, and you're insatiable.'

......

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The originally blue sky suddenly turned black, and a huge face of a monster that was hard to describe in words broke out of the clouds, a large face with countless eye sockets that covered the sky.

Just as people were panicking, blood balls oozed out of each eye socket.

Thousands of blood balls fell down and quickly smashed onto the ground.

Strangely enough, these blood balls didn't smash the houses, but rather, like a sticky substance, they stuck to the ground or the wall, and the size of the blood balls varied from big to small, with the big ones being five or six metres high and three or four metres in diameter, and the small ones being only one or two metres high and half a metre in diameter.

Some bold people came close and used a bat to poke the blood ball, and found that it was actually soft, and the bat poked in without any obstruction.

‘There seems to be something moving inside!'

‘It's disgusting!'

Someone noticed the presence of creatures in the blood ball and was about to leave the scene when clattering...!

Several bloody humanoid creatures rushed out from the blood ball, holding down the nearest person and biting down hard on his face, and amidst a chorus of screams, the man was torn into pieces.

‘Mourning... Mourning zombie! Run!!!'

‘Help!'

‘......'

The end of the world came, and the earth was turned into a purgatory.

And this, is just the beginning.

‘This thing, the official name is Blood Corpse...'

Henry silently lowered the curtains, his expression incomparably bland.

The scene outside the window was not even an appetiser for him, a survivor who had lived for five years in the post-apocalyptic world.

‘It's best to give me talents or skills...'

Henry pulled out two legendary coloured cards and turned one of them upside down.

In the colourful halo of light, Henry saw the text attached to the card - [Talent: Super Restorative Body]

[Super Restorative Body]: turns the possessor into a super restorative body, and wounds can heal themselves in a very short period of time.

‘This talent...'

While Henry was excited, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he recalled some horrifying memories.

In his previous life, his community had encountered an attack by a [Super Recovery Body] talent holder, nearly wiping out the regiment, and in the end, after paying a tragic price of several hundred people, he managed to wipe out the Super Recovery Body holder.

‘'Ch-ching!‘'

Henry tore off the coloured card, and instantly, a heat spread all over his body, filling his body with power.

Henry pulled out his saber and made a cut on his left arm, and while blood gushed out, the wound quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

‘Not bad.'

Henry turned the second Legendary Card around and was dumbfounded.

[Item: Safe Hut]

[Safe Hut: occupies an area of two hundred square metres, exclusive, with an absolute defensive boundary that can withstand nuclear bomb level attacks]

‘The small quadrangle he saw in the centre of the lake earlier should be the Safe Hut...'

In the second year of the End Times, when he went out to look for resources in order to avoid being chased by night demons, he had hid in the Safe Hut, but unfortunately, the owner of the hut had long since died, not from being attacked by monsters, but from not being able to withstand the extreme weather, and had been trapped alive in the Safe Hut in the absence of supplies.

In the end times, the horror is not only those strange monsters, but also the extreme weather, such as: extreme cold, scorching heat, poisonous rain, swamp gas, and so on.

‘Strategic items that shouldn't be used at the moment.'

Although the Safe Hut had an extremely strong defence ability, it had a huge drawback, that is, it could not be moved, and right now, Henry did not have any intention of settling down in one place.

Putting the hut card away close to his body, Henry opened a book bag, this book bag was brought by Scott's three people, and there were quite a few cards in it as well, the three of them together, there were about six hundred, the vast majority of which were white and green, and there were only a handful of blue and silver cards.

‘There are too many cards, it's so troublesome to organise them, if only Alice was here...' Henry sighed.

Categorising the cards was never Feng Xiao Ni's job.

‘Alice, in my last life, I had limited abilities and couldn't protect you. In this life, I will never give anyone the chance to hurt you! Wait for me ...... I will soon go to you!'

Unclenching his clenched fists, Henry took out the ten gold cards in his shirt.

[Talent - Super Strength]: Enhances the possessor's physical strength to the maximum.

[Talent - Heavy Fist Fighter]: makes the possessor's fists as powerful as cannonballs.

[Talent - Night Vision]: enables the possessor to see clearly even in the dead of night.

[Talent - Ren Dui Er Chakra]: causes the possessor to open the Ren Dui Er Chakra, and the true qi flows on its own.

[Weapon - Black Knife Chopping Gold]: Knife that can easily cut through metal, works better with knife skills.

[Weapon - Timberwolf Sniper Rifle]: No living thing can withstand one shot from this thing, and if it does, two shots.

[Resource - Full House] : A table of delicacies that can boost morale.

[Tool - Advanced Power Generator]: Used in conjunction with a battery, it can generate power for a long time.

[Vehicle - Ghost Fire (Motorbike)]: If Ghost Fire is in trouble, eight parties will praise it.

[Carrier - Sturdy Small Caravan]: Wherever you drive, there is home.

Overall, Henry was very satisfied because the quality of this batch of gold cards was very high.

Whether it was Super Strength or Heavy Fist Fighter, both belonged to the t0 talent among the gold cards, and were extremely useful in the pre-apocalyptic period, while the strategic significance of Black Knife Chopper Gold and Sturdy Little Caravan needed no introduction, one was to strengthen the attacking ability, and the other one was the mobility ability, which was perfect.

‘......'

‘Help ...... help!'

‘Bam!'

Just as Henry was learning the talent, the door to the room was suddenly slammed open, and a ragged, almost half-naked woman fell in, behind her were three blood corpses, one of which was holding the arm of some unlucky person in its hand.

‘Help... Help!'

The young woman screamed miserably and held out her hand.

Henry walked over and bam, bam, bam, three punches.

The three blood corpses, without exception, all had their heads exploded and their brains splattered in all directions.

‘Ah ......?'

Annie was stunned, staring blankly at the three bloody corpses falling to the ground, and it took her a while to realise that she was almost naked, and she was too busy covering her body.

‘Thanks ...... ah!' Anne thanked Henry gratefully, suddenly noticing that not two metres away from her, three male corpses lay sprawled across the room, the carpet in the room almost stained red with blood.

‘Don't mind the bodies.'

Henry reminded with a faint smile, looking at the woman in front of him with a slight glare.

Annie?

Such a coincidence to have met her on the first day of the End Times?

In his previous life, Henry had met Annie half a month after the opening of the End Times, and it was with this woman's help that he had barely survived, and then the community they were in was overrun by a wave of corpses, and he hadn't seen her since then.

Technically speaking, Annie had saved his life and was one of the few good people in the post-apocalyptic environment.

Henry tossed a white card to Annie casually, ‘Tear it.'

‘Tear it?' Annie was stunned and obediently tore open the white card, and in the next second, the torn card turned into a white shirt out of thin air.

‘What the...! Magic, or a dream?' Anne forcefully pinched her long legs, ‘Why isn't it a dream ...... This, what the hell is going on ah?'

Henry closed the door, looked at Annie who had changed her clothes, and laughed, ‘Annie, you just pinched your leg off and you won't wake up.'

Annie froze, ‘You know me?'

‘Big star, of course I know.'

Annie's pretty face reddened, a little vain, ‘What big star... Not even a third-rate star.'

‘Can you tell me what's going on? What are these ...... things?' Annie was in a less tense mood at this time.

‘These are low level blood corpses that feed on humans.' Henry briefly explained and digressed, ‘You are at least a star, why are you only one person? Where are those companions of yours?'

Anne shook her head, ‘I came over a night early, my assistant had something temporary and said I would be late. As soon as I woke up, I was chased by these monsters, blood corpses...'

‘Why is the phone dead, I obviously charged it, do you have a mobile phone, can you lend it to me to make a call?' Annie found that her mobile phone had turned into a useless iron cube.

‘It's useless, all the networks, the power, the hydraulics, they're all dead.'

Henry casually tossed the phone to Anne, ‘You didn't hear that loud beeping alarm last night? Sleeping so dead?'

Annie pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, ‘I have a migraine, I can't sleep without sleeping pills, and last night I had a particularly bad headache, so I took two extra tablets.'

Reasonable.

Henry nodded, ‘It just so happens that I'm short of manpower on my side, do you want to team up with me?'

‘Team up?'

‘Well, what you have to do is simple, is to help me sort the cards, while I'm responsible for protecting your safety and eating and living.'
