Chapter 2 System!

Old Zhang went straight into a slide-kneel, his head slamming heavily in front of Zhou Yan.

He sobbed and wailed, complaining about what a scumbag Yang Shu was, claiming that Yang Shu wouldn't even spare his forty-year-old wife, acting as if he and Yang Shu were mortal enemies.

He cursed Yang Shu repeatedly, calling him a beast.

He lifted his head cautiously, only to find a hint of a warm smile on Zhou Yan's face.

Old Zhang thought Zhou Yan was empathizing with him. Before the look of pleasant surprise on his face could even fully form, the gun in Zhou Yan's hand fired!

"Bang!"

Old Zhang passed away with a look of confusion on his face.

Zhou Yan had a deep impression of him because he was the courier who had delivered dog food to him. To say he was innocent was pure nonsense—like trying to deceive the dead!

The hallway fell into instant silence, leaving only the persistent sound of rain outside and the heavy, spreading scent of blood.

Holding his gun, Zhou Yan scanned the scene quickly and vigilantly. After confirming multiple times that there were no further threats around... he stepped toward the door of Su Yanqiu's home.

Zhou Yan had noticed earlier that the door to Su Yanqiu's home had been pried open, leaving a triangular "hole." Just now, that old geezer had been blocking the door, scaring Zhou Yan into thinking he had been too slow and that Su Yanqiu's door had already been forced open.

Looking at the damage, Zhou Yan thought to himself that this old guy must have pried quite a few doors open over the past few days! Such skillful technique?

Through the hole in Su Yanqiu's door, Zhou Yan looked inside and found the living room empty...

"Yue'er... uh... Sister Yue'er?"

Su Yanyue was three years older than Zhou Yan, so he usually called her Sister. Only before, when they were in their "ambiguous phase," did he call her "Yue'er" directly.

Calling her that now felt a bit inappropriate...

After calling out twice, he noticed a faint shadow reflected on the glass of Yue'er's bedroom door, and she seemed to be holding some kind of weapon...

Shaking his head, Zhou Yan chose to "clean up the scene" first.

However, when Zhou Yan placed his hand on Yang Shu's ankle, a translucent light screen suddenly appeared before his eyes, and a line of text slowly drifted across...

[ordinary blind box + 1]

In the hallway, the smell of blood mixed with the stench of urine was highly pungent. Zhou Yan opened the corridor window and took a few deep breaths of the damp air!

"Whew..."

Exhaling deeply, the fresh, damp air outside calmed Zhou Yan down.

"Uh..." Zhou Yan's relaxed body suddenly stiffened, because even though his eyes were closed now, that light screen was still floating before his "eyes"!

[Doomsday Blind Box User: Zhou Yan]

"Breathe... in... out... in... out..."

As a professional assassin, mental health and state of mind were extremely important. Once these two things went wrong, death was only a step away...

He suspected that perhaps he had been alone for too long, or that the lack of social interaction or contact with the opposite sex had caused his mental state to deteriorate.

[ordinary blind box Quantity: 1]

[Open?]

Zhou Yan frowned as he looked at the text before him, feeling it was all rather absurd.

"Why don't you open one and let me see?"

[Obtained: New User Gift Pack * 1]

Countless grids appeared in his mind, and in one of them sat a large, golden package. It was glittering with gold light, looking full of comic-book flair.

[Opening New User Gift Pack!]

[Obtained: Wilderness Survival Kit * 1]

[Obtained: Pressurized Water Filtration Device * 1]

[Obtained: Eagle Brand Cigarettes (1 carton/10 packs)]

[Obtained: AR-15 Automatic Rifle (120 rounds of ammunition)]

[Random Bonus: Purified Water (500ml) * 20]

A small portion of the grids in his mind were instantly filled, and in one of them, an AR-15 automatic rifle was even floating.

When he focused his attention on the bottle of water at the very end, his hand suddenly felt heavy. He looked down and saw a bottle of unbranded purified water appear in his hand.

He tried again and discovered that the purified water taken from those grids could actually be put back? The bottle of water flickered in and out of existence in Zhou Yan's palm; he played with it to his heart's content...

Then, Zhou Yan fell silent...

He unscrewed the purified water, took a sip, and smacked his lips to taste it. He discovered it was just ordinary water...

Lighting an "Eagle Brand" cigarette that he had just unpacked, Zhou Yan began to contemplate life.

His life could be described as ill-fated; abducted by human traffickers as a child and sent abroad to undergo various training to become an assassin.

He had lived on thin ice for over a decade, and just after killing his boss and preparing to retire, the apocalypse arrived before his wonderful life could even begin.

"So, is this salvation granted to me by the Heavens because it pities me?"

Firearms were Zhou Yan's reassurance. Not to mention domestically, even abroad, as long as he had a gun in his hand, Zhou Yan feared no one. Except for the military.

Looking at the Type 92 in his hand, which he used to want to clean three times a day, it suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore. Gun oil was so precious! In this day and age, there was nowhere to buy it! Better save it to clean the AR-15...

Steadying himself, he grabbed Yang Shu's thick leg and dragged him to the window. He originally intended to throw him out of the window to feed the fish, but with the water level outside—forget about fish, if you told him there was a Godzilla in there, Zhou Yan would believe it!

But Yang Shu's build was too robust! The windows in the high-rise had limiters and couldn't be opened completely... With such a narrow gap, Yang Shu's body couldn't be shoved out!

"If I break the glass, what about the rain splashing in? How about... dismembering him? It shouldn't be too much trouble..."

Forget it. Zhou Yan decided to deal with the other two corpses first. He turned around, grabbed the corpse lying by the fire door, and shoved it out the window.

[ordinary blind box + 1]

Subsequently, he threw the courier surnamed Zhang out as well!

[ordinary blind box + 1]

Zhou Yan calmly returned to the room, grabbed a mop and bucket, and proceeded to clean the bloodstains off the floor and walls.

It took a long time for Zhou Yan to realize. His system was called the [Doomsday Blind Box System], which meant he had to kill people or other creatures and then loot the corpses to obtain blind boxes, thereby opening them to get various supplies and equipment...

"So why don't you call it the Corpse Looting System?"

Scratching his head, seeing that Su Yanqiu and Su Yanyue still had no intention of appearing, Zhou Yan had no choice but to return home to get a knife and prepare to dismember the body...

Dismemberment wasn't that difficult; by cutting along the joints and fascia, he could probably detach his legs in a few strikes...

Meanwhile, in the bedroom across from Zhou Yan, Su Yanyue's body was trembling uncontrollably, her pretty face covered in cold sweat, her lips deathly pale.

She knew what she was facing; she had heard the conversation of those people in the hallway clearly! They wanted to use her to force Zhou Yan to open the door!

Would Zhou Yan open the door? He definitely wouldn't! If he cared about her, why would he have rejected her in the first place?

Besides, human hearts cannot withstand testing. Let alone whether they were together or not, even if two people were married, whether he would open the door to save her in this situation was a question!

She crouched in the corner, hugging her knees, tears falling continuously. The coldness of the wall seeped through her thin clothes, constantly draining the heat from her body, but it was far less than the chill in her heart.

Soon, the sound of gunfire reached the bedroom. Su Yanyue lifted her head in a panic.
