“Hiss~, this familiar feeling~, damn it!"
Benjamin only felt a sharp pain coming from the back of his head, as if he had been hit hard on the back of his head. He slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked at the scene in front of him, he was furious.
A thin protective film of light still shrouded the surroundings, which emitted a mysterious light like a transparent shield. Through the light film, Benjamin saw a wide and incomparable city street.
It should have been a neat and orderly street, and once it might have been full of traffic and pedestrians. But now, it was a mess. Leaves littered the ground like abandoned memories, and garbage piled up everywhere, emitting an unpleasant odor. All kinds of cars were parked, blocking the street as if the world was coming to an end.
In theory, for a contractor like Benjamin, who had experienced such a big scene in the Ancient Forest world, he shouldn't have been caused to have any violent emotional fluctuations by the scene in front of him. In the Ancient Forest, he had seen the majesty of the sky-high trees, felt the threat of extraordinary creatures, and experienced life-and-death battles.
However, at this moment, he was feeling very angry, because the position he himself was in was unspeakable.
Let's slowly pull the camera away from God's eye view, and we can see that Benjamin is in such a state at the moment:
The first thing that comes into view is a conspicuous green plant, a well-grown roadside tree. It stood upright, its bright green branches swaying gently in the breeze. Occasionally a gentle breeze brushed the branches and leaves of the tree, making a rustling sound like the whisper of nature. The breeze also caused a “black bag” hanging on the top of the tree to sway slightly. Yes, the “black bag” hanging on top of the tree was Benjamin.
Not far from Benjamin, Fluffy was stuck pitifully between the branches of the tree. Its small body in the branches of the tree looks so helpless, four short legs have been swinging desperately as if trying to break free from the predicament. But no matter how hard it tries, it just can't move its position, fully explaining what it means to be weak, pathetic, and helpless. Seeing
After seeing Fluffy's treatment, Benjamin's psyche was instantly balanced.
“This teleportation is still as pitiful as ever! That said, what's going on here? I clearly still have seven days of rest.”
Benjamin was filled with indignation, his brows furrowed, and his mouth grumbled uncontrollably.
He then began to carefully extricate himself and Fluffy from the tree.
Just by casually taking a look around, Benjamin knew that he must have somehow been pulled into the task world. The system didn't let Benjamin be confused for long, as soon as the words left his mouth, a system panel popped up in front of Benjamin's eyes. The panel emitted a mysterious light, and the text on it was clear and eye-catching.
[Reincarnation Space has searched for 10 Innate Awakeners, and in accordance with the relevant regulations, a low-level contractor can be dispatched to help the Innate Awakener pass through the initial space.]
[The system has detected that the contractor possesses two talents of grade A or above, and the degree of match between the two talents is at least 80%, in accordance with the relevant regulations]
[Reincarnation Space enlists contractors to participate in this task world in order to increase the chances of Innate Awakener's survival]
“I knew that S-rank talent would be a pit! I just didn't expect it to be a huge pit!”
The prompt on the panel made Benjamin mad.
Benjamin once again fell into a state of extreme mental imbalance, and his hands rubbed over Fluffy's body for a while. His movements were a bit rough as if he was venting his dissatisfaction. Fluffy's soft fur continued to deform in his hands and even started to get static electricity.
“Want me to be a bodyguard? No way!”
Benjamin shouted, his voice filled with stubbornness.
“I, Benjamin, even if I were to die of exhaustion and be chased three blocks by the boss, I would never be a bodyguard!”
Benjamin's tone was firm and determined, he was a man with backbone, supposedly!
In the process of Benjamin busy adjusting his mindset, the prompts on the panel didn't stop, and still popped up a message in a thunderous manner.
[Contractor has entered inital space: Doomsday City].
World Difficulty: LV3～LV10
World Introduction:
Because of a forbidden experiment, the originally prosperous city turned into a dead city full of crisis, and the end of the world came. The skyscrapers are still standing, but they have lost their vitality. The streets are filled with the smell of death, and the once bustling crowds have disappeared, replaced by a line of Walking Dead roaming the streets and alleys. They crave devouring and chaos at all times, as if they were cursed souls.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
A group of outsiders accidentally entered the forgotten Doomsday City, breaking the silence and awakening the sleeping dangers.
Main Task: Survival
Task Difficulty: LV6
Task Description: Survive for 15 days in the city.
Number of Contractors: 11
[Hint: The initial space is a 'Non-Killing Space', killing other contractors will not drop [Scarlet Keys].]
[Warning: Parts of the city are highly dangerous, this transmission is random]
[Protected Time Countdown, 10, 9.......]
“Ouch! The unfriendliness of this INITIAL SPACE is even worse than the Ancient Forest.”
Perhaps it was because the contractors who entered the task world had all awakened their talents, so much so that the difficulty of this INITIAL SPACE was much higher than the others, and even the safest areas of the city were at the LV3 danger level.
As the protection time ended, the light film disappeared.
Since the Walking Dead mentioned in the world profile could appear on the streets at any time, Benjamin climbed to the top of the tree once again and began to check the extra task the system had given him.
[You trigger the special task: Protection]
Task Difficulty: LV4 ~ LV7
Task Description: Protect Innate Awakener to be able to survive until the end of the world.
Task duration: until the end of this world
Task Reward: 2000 Mystsu Currency for each Innate Awakener you successfully protect. If you succeed in making the number of Innate Awakener survivors reach 5 or more, you will be rewarded with a random talent (the rewarded talent should be at least B rank)
“Aaah? Seeing as you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly act as a bodyguard.”
Benjamin stated that he was definitely impressed by the system's sincerity, and as for the task rewards, they weren't really tempting at all to him! He wasn't the kind of man who was easily tempted, that's right!
“Roar~”
Benjamin's complacency was interrupted by a strange roar that came from not far away.
The roar was low and hoarse as if it were a call from hell, and Benjamin turned his head in the direction of the sound with a wary look in his eyes.
A figure lumbered around the corner. As the silhouette approached, Benjamin finally saw the silhouette's appearance clearly. The person's face was stained with blood, and the dark red blood had already dried up, just like a mottled mural. His hair was knotted like a chicken's nest, tangled in disarray as if it hadn't been combed for years. The greenish-gray skin was covered with dust, and in some places even showed signs of decay, emitting a foul odor. The shirt and jeans he wore were tattered and torn, and the surface of his clothes was still stained with large swaths of blood that had begun to darken.
No matter which way one looked at it, this figure had a proper standard zombie appearance. This zombie opened its dim yellow eyes, which were cloudy and godless as if it had lost its soul. It wandered aimlessly on the street, its footsteps dragging and heavy. The path it was taking led it right past Benjamin's tree on the side of the road.
When the zombie approached about 50 meters away from Benjamin, it suddenly stopped. As if sensing something unusual, the zombie lifted its head slightly, its yellow eyes darting around. Then, as if it sensed Benjamin in front of it, it roared and accelerated towards Benjamin's position. The roar was full of anger and desire as if it had seen a delicious food.
The zombie may have lost one of its shoes before it was born, making its already inflexible footsteps even more hobbling. It ran with a limp, its body swaying from side to side, making people laugh. This brought a bit of comedic color to what should have been a thrilling scene.
“Isn't this a zombie? It's really worthy of the Walking Dead mentioned in the world's synopsis, and it's so stumpy looking.”
Benjamin The corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. He quickly took out the [Revolver] from the storage space.
I don't know if you've ever played "Resident Evil".
Yes, Benjamin was like a seasoned warrior, his movements were skillful and decisive. He pulled out his gun, turned on the safety, took aim, and fired the gun, a set of actions done in a smooth flow. Only heard a bang, the clear sound of the gun echoed in the silent street. The running zombie fell to the ground in response, his body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Because of [Firearms Proficiency], even though Benjamin hadn't practiced shooting before, he was still able to accurately hit this kind of stupid thing that only ran in a straight line.
