I have an Apocalypse City

13 Chapter 13: Villa
Translator: 549690339
How could such a young girl be lured into this game? The person who sold the game to her must have bad intentions!

It must be because the little girl is so young that the system gave her a silver-quality newbie weapon to balance the game difficulty.

But, even if she is left here alone with a silver-quality newbie weapon, it would still be very difficult for her to survive.

Having eaten her fill, the little girl seemed very satisfied. Seeing Song Jian watching her, she showed him a sweet smile.

“What’s your name?” asked Song Jian.

“Ke’er.” Hesitating, the little girl whispered. But she quickly added, “Mommy doesn’t want me to tell strangers my name, but it’s okay since Uncle is a good person. Just don’t tell my Mommy that I told you my name.”

Song Jian slightly smiled, nodded, and continued to ask, “How much longer until you can leave the game? Check the countdown on your attribute page.”

After a while, Ke’er sighed and said, “More than three hours.”

Song Jian frowned, a hesitant look on his face. The ten-second countdown had already started in his ears. If he missed this chance, he would have to wait another twelve hours to leave the game.

“I haven’t found a safe place yet. I’ll find a safe place and then leave the game,” Song Jian finally decided.

As the countdown ended, Song Jian calmly told Ke’er, “Let’s leave this place. There’s an apocalypse supermarket at Camel Square. There’s a lot of stuff inside. I’ll take you to get a membership card so you can buy many delicious things there.”

“Really?” Ke’er’s eyes lit up, but she quickly furrowed her brows and said, holding her belly, “I’m too full now, I can’t eat anything.”

Song Jian hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take Ke’er’s little hand.

Ke’er was startled but then passed her right hand to Song Jian with a smile.

The two headed towards the apocalypse supermarket together.

By now, the sky was bright, and the sun had risen. The zombies hid in dark corners, their attributes cut in half. Even if ten mutated zombies appeared at once, with Ke’er’s help, Song Jian was confident he could kill them all from over ten meters away.

Hand in hand, they both arrived at the edge of Camel Square.

Song Jian looked ahead, his expression changing dramatically. In the center of Camel Square, there was no building at all, only a dried-up fountain.

“That’s not right; the apocalypse supermarket was supposed to be right here.” Song Jian stared at the debris-filled fountain pool, unable to believe his eyes.

“How could it have disappeared?” Song Jian’s face grew pale. He suddenly thought that the apocalypse supermarket might be a rare event in the game that appeared and vanished suddenly. If he didn’t seize the opportunity, it would just slip away.

Taking a deep breath, Song Jian opened the taskbar. Seeing that the task to acquire a membership card for the apocalypse supermarket hadn’t disappeared or failed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Since it appeared once, it will appear again. I’ll complete this task sooner or later,” Song Jian thought to himself.

As he watched the rising sun, Song Jian had a sudden flash of inspiration and thought, “Maybe it’s because it’s daytime. The apocalypse supermarket only appears at night, and when the sun comes up, it disappears. At night, it reappears.”

“Ke’er, it seems the supermarket might only appear at night,” Song Jian told Ke’er.

“Then let’s come back at night. My stomach is so full right now anyway!” Ke’er obediently said.

Song Jian nodded, beginning to look around.

“Right now, the most important thing is to establish a safe base first, and then slowly clear out the surrounding zombies.” Song Jian thought to himself.

Since the supermarket was nearby, Song Jian would not leave. Ke’er had about three hours left in her game, and he had to set up a safe house in such a short period of time. Once Ke’er’s game time was up, she could leave safely from the safe house.

Taking out his map, Song Jian carefully examined the area. The safe house had to be close to Camel Square so that he could observe whether the supermarket appeared.

After some time, Song Jian finally chose a residential area across from Camel Square, which was the spot where Ke’er had appeared.

This residential area was mainly standalone villas, surrounded by six-story buildings. On the north side of the residential area, there was a villa right at the edge of Camel Square, where one could easily see the center of the square.

Deciding to turn this particular villa into his safe house, Song Jian dragged Ke’er towards it.

The villa seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The exterior walls were covered in withered vines. Looking through the cracks, windows and doors were boarded up from the inside with thick wooden planks, blocking out even the slightest amount of light. This made it even more difficult for Song Jian to enter.

After circling the villa a few times, Song Jian could not find a way to enter the house. Instead, he heard low growls and collisions of mutant zombies from within. It seemed that there were zombies inside the villa, and they had already detected Song Jian’s presence.

Zombies had an abnormal obsession with living creatures. Once detected, they would hunt them relentlessly. For zombies, living flesh and blood were like addictive drugs.

However, once the zombies caught their prey and began to feast on their flesh, they would also inject them with poison. As soon as the poison spread throughout the body, the mutant zombies would lose interest in their prey, no longer continuing to devour the flesh, and let them turn into one of their own.

After carefully listening for a while, Song Jian was sure that there was only one mutant zombie in the room, and he felt relieved. He guessed that this zombie was likely the original owner of the villa.

Now the biggest problem was how to get inside the villa. The original owner had sealed the doors and windows so tightly that there was not even the slightest gap.

“There must be an exit somewhere. Otherwise, how could the people inside the villa go out and search for supplies?” Song Jian thought to himself.

From observing the sealed windows and doors, it was clear that the owner of the villa had survived for a long time after the apocalypse began.

After searching carefully, Song Jian found a ladder more than three meters long in the courtyard of the villa, leaning against a tree. Looking up at the villa, he noticed a glass skylight on the sloping roof of the first floor. It had been covered in dirt for so long that Song Jian hadn’t noticed it at first.

“I wonder if the entrance is through that skylight.” Song Jian thought to himself.

He moved the ladder and propped it against the villa’s outer wall. Indeed, the length of the ladder was just right for someone to climb up to the first floor roof.

Climbing up the ladder and reaching the skylight, he wiped off the dirt from the glass and looked down. Right below the skylight, there was another ladder – a sturdier metal triangular ladder, safer than the wooden one in the courtyard.

However, the triangular ladder had already been knocked down and was lying horizontally on the floor.

“It’s not a big problem. The skylight is less than three meters from the ground. With a little caution, it’s possible to jump down directly.” Song Jian thought to himself.

He gently pulled the handle of the skylight, and it opened easily. At this height, ordinary mutant zombies would not be able to climb up, and the villa’s former owner had not locked it either.

In the living room of the villa, a mutant zombie was continuously slamming into the walls, trying to get out. It had already detected the presence of living people outside and was craving to feast on their flesh.

Thud~

Song Jian jumped down from the skylight, feeling a sharp pain in his feet. Although he had increased his agility a little, his current physical condition was that of an ordinary person. Jumping down from more than two meters high, his ankles could hardly withstand the impact.

As soon as the zombie sensed Song Jian entering the villa, it immediately pounced on him;
