(Dubbed) Frost Apocalypse: Mobile Fortress = Invincible
Transcript
00:00:00At the company annual party I hit the grand prize, a luxury RV, but my well-connected
00:00:04two-faced co-worker only pulled a hundred tons of unwanted coal. She threw a fit on stage.
00:00:08Under manager's pressure I had no choice but to swap prizes with her. Then the cold wave
00:00:11of apocalypse hit. A zombie horde broke out worldwide. She fled in the RV but with the
00:00:15global energy shortage it burned through gas and turned into useless junk. She ended up
00:00:19torn apart by zombies. While with coal, the hard currency, I have not only stayed warm but traded
00:00:23for tons of supplies. But soon after more trouble hit, thugs leaped my stash in the chaos and kicked
00:00:27me out. I was swarmed by zombies and died too. When I waked again, I was back at the night
00:00:31of the raffle. Then I saw Yvonne, the well-connected co-worker, glaring at me with pure hate and
00:00:35envy. Her eyes laid bare hatred and anger for me. Looks like she was reborn too. In this life
00:00:39she still drew 100 tons of coal, yet she acted oddly thrilled. Everyone thought she'd been
00:00:43so let down she'd lost it. Only I knew that she had realized an RV in the apocalypse is
00:00:47almost useless and coal is the real must-have. Because in the last life I used the 100 tons
00:00:51of coal I got to feast on Hot Pot and bask in the heat cozily in my apartment. Yvonne, mad
00:00:56with jealousy tipped off a gang of thugs that I had a fortune in supplies at home. They
00:00:59forced my door, seized my place and my stash, and threw me out. Then Yvonne came and snarled
00:01:03at me that if she'd chosen the coal, she'd be the one on top. She blamed me for stealing
00:01:07her luck. Now that life has reset she only wants the coal. Co-workers pushed me to comfort
00:01:10Yvonne. Among them, the manager involved with her even told me to hand over the luxury RV
00:01:15prize in exchange for her coal so it wouldn't hit her too hard and mess her up mentally or I
00:01:18will be guilty. It's exactly like last time. But this time Yvonne shook off the manager's
00:01:22hand and said in a pitiful tone that she was choosing the coal. As she spoke, the corner
00:01:26of her eye flicked at me, smug with getting the jump. The new intern looked baffled and
00:01:29asked Yvonne why pass on a luxury RV for 100 tons of coal no one wants. Of course Yvonne
00:01:33wouldn't mention her rebirth so she pouted and said she didn't deserve a luxury RV. She
00:01:37was from the countryside and 100 tons of coal would be enough for her family to heat their
00:01:41winters for life. My co-workers all praised how devoted Yvonne was. I watched the nauseating
00:01:45act and laughed inside. Although coal is hard currency in the apocalypse, it's also a hot potato.
00:01:49Once word gets out it becomes everyone's target, but it wasn't worth telling Yvonne.
00:01:52I calmly slipped the RV keys into my bag. Yvonne scoffed at that and as she passed me
00:01:56she whispered so only I could hear that my good days would all become hers and I'd end
00:01:59up like she did last time, torn apart by zombies while she'd sit in her apartment heated by
00:02:03supplies and coal riding out the doomsday easily. I played dumb but I was amused inside. Life
00:02:08of being on top only works if you've got the strength to hold it. I could already picture
00:02:11Yvonne's panic phase before thugs and zombies. Clutching the RV keys I quickly found my RV.
00:02:16Once I shut the door I dialed the number right away. It's a real estate agent contacted me last
00:02:19slide. Someone wanted to buy my apartment. I refused back then but now I know the cold
00:02:23wave is coming. Any fixed calm is a beacon on the map. Crowds are a breathing ground
00:02:27for disaster. Time is tight. Gotta raise as much cash as possible. The agent's name is
00:02:30David. I cut to the chase. Can we close in three days? He was stunned. A few days ago
00:02:34I had flat out refused so why the sudden change? I told him I only care about speed. On the
00:02:38price
00:02:38I can go 10% under market. David agreed on the spot. I told him it had to close in
00:02:42three
00:02:42days. After hanging up I jumped to step two. I downloaded every online loan app and killed
00:02:46over three million in one night. Not enough. With my memories before I wrote down the winning
00:02:50numbers of the 50 million super jackpot three days later. At 7am I woke up in the RV shivering
00:02:55from cold. I checked the thermometer. The temp inside had already dropped to minus 10
00:02:59celsius. Realizing the deep freeze had arrived I quickly kicked on the RV's heater. A blast
00:03:03of warm air hit me. I looked out the window. The city was completely blanketed in snow. I
00:03:07checked the cameras. The blizzard was so intense all I could see was a whiteout. I knew this
00:03:11blizzard wasn't stopping yet. The temperature would keep dropping. Stay outside for just a few minutes
00:03:15and you'd die of hypothermia. Just then my phone started buzzing. Red alerts kept popping
00:03:19up on my screen. A national emergency broadcast went out ordering us to stay inside. Weather
00:03:23service issued the highest level alert. In the coldest regions camps even hit minus 160 degrees
00:03:28four times colder than Antarctica. Then came an even crazier update. Someone has seen zombie
00:03:33like creatures telling us not to open the door for anyone. But all of this had nothing to do
00:03:36with me. Now I'm out in the suburbs. Get zombies I could barely see another soul. I calmly
00:03:40turned on the tv. Grabbed a bag of chips and started watching the news. The city was already
00:03:44in chaos. The deep freeze just began and many people had already frozen to death after power
00:03:48cut. In my last life I was helpless at this moment barely hanging on by a coal fire. But in
00:03:53this life
00:03:53I'm sitting in my custom upgraded luxury RV with the heat set to 26 degrees binging my favorite show
00:03:58and in my spare time I sorted my supplies by shelf life. Just then Yvonne started blowing up my phone
00:04:02with messages. Seeing I wasn't responding she went straight to a video call. For completing the RV
00:04:07overhaul system rewarded me with the RV pocket dimension. A dimension appeared at the rear. I could stash and
00:04:12access supplies freely. I whipped out my phone and kept placing orders on different shopping apps.
00:04:16Thousands of jugs of water, ration bars by the case, instant noodles, self-heating rice can,
00:04:21anti-inflammatory meds, antibiotics, bandages all piled up. Plus feminine hygiene essentials.
00:04:25This stash is enough for me to live out my years in the RV. I also hit every gas station
00:04:29in the city.
00:04:30Bought up all the gas in the city by paying double. That solved the RV's power problem. Then I burned
00:04:34through
00:04:34the rest of my savings. Contacted a mercenary group overseas buying a ton of guns, ammo and bulletproof vests.
00:04:39So that if I face zombies and bad guys I can pull up a fight. It was the last day
00:04:43before the apocalypse.
00:04:44Looking at the space packed with supplies, a kind of safety I've never felt before washed over me.
00:04:48I knew I had what it takes to take on the apocalypse. I checked the cameras. Everything around looked
00:04:53normal. The street was still busy with people, calm and peaceful. Just as I was about to turn them off
00:04:57I noticed a man nearby dressed all in black staring right at my RV. Even from dozens of meters away
00:05:02I could still feel the malice and greed in his eyes. I tensed up instantly. The apocalypse wasn't
00:05:06here yet but the danger had arrived early. I drove off immediately heading for the suburbs overnight.
00:05:11But the real crisis was quietly closing in. Outside it's icy and bitterly cold. Inside a zombie
00:05:15outbreak could happen any minute. But right now Yvonne is on a video call with me in a luxurious
00:05:20mansion wearing a camisole with flawless makeup. She hypocritically asked, cold? I hugged myself
00:05:24acting like I was freezing. She was super smug and turned the camera to the plate in front of her,
00:05:29bragging about her cozy life. I set my phone aside, stepped into my dimension and started picking
00:05:33today's breakfast. Yvonne had no clue that in a few days the whole city would go down. People would
00:05:37lose it. Time in the city would skyrocket and everyone will fight for the call she relies on.
00:05:41Seeing I didn't respond she instantly got upset and hung up. Then I found that my pocket dimension
00:05:45wasn't just huge, it even kept food fresh. The fruit and raw meat I'd tossed in before was still
00:05:50perfectly fresh. I couldn't wait to see a steak. A few minutes later it was done. I brought it to
00:05:54my
00:05:54makeshift table and dug in. As I ate I fought back to my last life when Yvonne set me up.
00:05:59I drilled the
00:05:59knife into the steak. In this life I won't let any traitor off the hook. After I ate I started
00:06:03my
00:06:03routine safety checks inside the RV, blocking every window, checking the generator and reviewing the
00:06:08camera again. It was still a whiteout outside with a few more people frozen like statues. I moved the
00:06:13camera remotely, scanning every spot. Then I noticed that a red mark had been painted on the RV's body.
00:06:18I quickly sat down and zoomed in. It was a red circle with worth it written on it. Was it
00:06:22left by the
00:06:22guys who modified my RV or that mysterious person days ago? I can only be sure that my RV, my
00:06:27home,
00:06:27my end of the world fortress has been targeted. Day one of the cold wave I was facing a life
00:06:32or
00:06:32death decision. Rushing out of the RV to wipe off the mark could easily walk into an ambush. But if
00:06:36I didn't wipe it I could become a sitting duck. After consideration I decided to sit tight and watch.
00:06:41At this moment any unnecessary move could get me killed. If my guess was right I was already being
00:06:45targeted when I was buying in bulk. I had stockpiled a ton of supplies with weak combat skills making me
00:06:50prime prey in the apocalypse. Over the next days I did nothing but sleep and watch the cams. Five days
00:06:54later a car showed up on the cameras. A man in black got out and walked toward my RV. He
00:06:58came up
00:06:58to the RV and started banging on the door. He said he's the delivery guy who dropped off my stuff
00:07:02days
00:07:03ago. Seeing I was loaded he wanted me to buy his supplies at a high price. I sat in the
00:07:06RV totally
00:07:07unmoved. That lame lie showed he's not that slick. Seeing I didn't respond he's getting aggressive.
00:07:11Punching the door with his fists then pulled out a screwdriver to try the lock. Even threatened me
00:07:15saying if I didn't open up he'd call a nearby gang and I'd even lose my life let alone the
00:07:19supplies.
00:07:19Outside he was ramming the door. Inside I was casually eating warm wontons. Watching his awful
00:07:24act I couldn't help but laugh. I paid big for a blast proof door so forget his fists. Even the
00:07:28power drill wouldn't leave a mark. The huge noise from his banging drew the nearby zombies. He was
00:07:32so amped and didn't notice a door when a zombie came up from behind and chomped him hard. In a
00:07:36few
00:07:36minutes he was killed by zombies. After eating their fill the zombies left the RV. An hour later I checked
00:07:40the cameras and saw nothing off so I opened the door and went down to check. On his phone I
00:07:44found another
00:07:45shocking bombshell. The RV system activated again in this frozen world. A reward panel popped up
00:07:49before me. I chose the track upgrade without hesitation. The RV's tires turned into snow
00:07:53tracks right away. Also I could switch its mode freely. I ran straight to the cab and drove off
00:07:57into the distance. My phone kept ringing non-stop. It was Yvonne. I picked up. She asked me in tears
00:08:02if I had any life-saving gear. She'd trade coal for it. People had their eyes on her coal too.
00:08:06She'd stockpiled supplies too but did zero security. A big crowd was smashing her front door. Several of
00:08:11them were armed ready to rush in any second. I turned her down then she started playing the sympathy
00:08:15card saying how close we were at the company. I even used to be her mentor. I almost
00:08:19laughed. When she first came I treated her like my sister but she actually stole the project files
00:08:23on my computer at night then used her connections to pin it on me almost costing me my job. Seeing
00:08:28I still didn't budge she suddenly gave a creepy smile. Something clicked. She walked to the door
00:08:32then yelled out the door that she knew a place with tons of supplies but she'd only team up with
00:08:36the strong. The 10 who survived to the end would not only get inside but also be fed and comfy.
00:08:40Right away they started fighting outside. Yvonne glared at me on the video then sneered that she knew
00:08:44where I was. I suddenly remembered the RV had been pre-assigned to Yvonne. She'd already used it before.
00:08:49She must have installed a GPS on it. Now I can't even sweep to find where she hit it. My
00:08:53location
00:08:53was exposed again. My nemesis from my last life had a hard lock on me. The guy in black was
00:08:57after
00:08:58my supplies and launched an attack in the extreme cold. I relied on the RV's defenses to get through
00:09:02it but I found from his phone that he was actually in a gang. My location had been blown. Earlier
00:09:07he
00:09:07told his crew about the RV and snapped photos of it ready for a big attack but because of the
00:09:11increasingly
00:09:11extreme cold he wanted to hog all the supplies so he struck first and went for my RV. I quickly
00:09:16wiped the
00:09:17markings off and tossed his phone far away. Back in the RV I started thinking, my location's already
00:09:22blown. If I stay put I'll inevitably clash with the gang. I have to leave right now. So I fired
00:09:27up the
00:09:27RV and headed farther into the outskirts. But not long after, the RV suddenly stopped. The snow's too
00:09:33deep. The RV sank into it. I tensed up instantly. Memories of being set up and swarmed by zombies from
00:09:38my previous life surfaced. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down then grabbed my phone and
00:09:43searched for ways to get the RV moving in the snow. One idea was to modify the RV's tires but
00:09:48it's
00:09:48brutally cold out there and zombies could show up anytime. Too risky. I looked up a few more options
00:09:53and shot them all down. I went back into the dimension. Staring at the weapons I made up my
00:09:57mind. Even if the RV really can't move I'm ready to fight the local gang to the death. Right when
00:10:01I was
00:10:02stressed out my phone rang. Yvonne's calling again. I was about to hit decline then that familiar voice came on.
00:10:07Congrats host you dodged a disaster. New features unlocked.
00:10:10Frost apocalypse Yvonne roped in 10 plugs to snatch my supplies. But I'm not that worried.
00:10:14It's a frozen wasteland outside. Regular vehicles can hardly move at all. Still just in case I decide
00:10:18to scout first. I enter the RV pocket dimension and take out a military drone. I got it for free
00:10:23earlier because I wired a big payment buying weapons. Didn't expect it to come in so handy.
00:10:27I steer the drone toward the city. Wall to wall carnage jumps out at me. Packs of zombies chase people
00:10:31and
00:10:32bite them. And plenty more huddle together as they tear into a body. Worst of all to escape the zombies
00:10:36some actually trip others to buy themselves time to run. Suddenly a zombie seems to notice the drone.
00:10:41It roars toward the drone with bloody mouth and stiff body. I pull the drone away fast with cold
00:10:45sweat in my palms. Because I died horribly in their jaws in my last life. I send the drone over
00:10:49to Yvonne's
00:10:50place. I see Yvonne actually step outside. She is surrounded by a few big guys eyes glued to her
00:10:54phone like the zombies don't even exist. Suddenly a zombie lunges out from the side but it's shot before
00:10:59it even gets close to Yvonne. So the guys Yvonne found are no pushovers and it gets worse. One of
00:11:04them pushes
00:11:04out a snowmobile out of nowhere. Looks like this is her trunk car to snatch my supplies. Right then
00:11:09Yvonne seems to spot the drone too and she flashes it a wicked smile. I know our showdown is about
00:11:13to
00:11:13start. Only one of us walks away alive. I face my first life or death ordeal in the apocalypse. Yvonne
00:11:19showed up with 10 thugs charging straight at me on 6 snowmobiles. I floored it tried to shake them off
00:11:23ended up racing their snowmobiles but the snow was too deep. I nearly slammed into the guardrail several
00:11:28times. This chase was way too risky. I might even fly off the road and plunge off. I eased off
00:11:32the gas and
00:11:33they forced me to stop. Led by Yvonne all 11 of them slowly dismounted the snowmobiles. They circled
00:11:38my RV and started tallying up my supplies. She looked at my camera and warned me that they had
00:11:42mercenaries and hitmen even wanted fugitives. Everyone was bad news. If I didn't want to die
00:11:46a nasty death I'd better open the door now. But I wasn't giving up this RV in my rolling fortress.
00:11:51Opening the door would be getting myself killed. Seeing I wouldn't budge one of them shoved Yvonne
00:11:55aside swung a metal bar hard at my door but the huge recoil numbed his grip. He could barely hold
00:11:59the bar.
00:11:59My door didn't even get a scratch. He was in utter disbelief. Just then another smaller guy stepped
00:12:04up. He examined my door lock and found it was a fingerprint one. Then he told Yvonne behind him
00:12:08right away. She burst out laughing, rummaged through her bag for something, then walked to the
00:12:12door confidently and pressed the fingerprint scanner. I didn't think much of it. That lock only stored
00:12:16my print. We weren't related. No way she could open it. But the next second the lock chimed and
00:12:20unlocked. I felt a chill down my spine for the first time. Was the same tragedy about to play out
00:12:25again?
00:12:25The door slowly opened. The countdown to my death began. In my last life Yvonne deliberately collected
00:12:30my fingerprints to set me up. Didn't expect it would be her ultimate move to take me out this time.
00:12:34Turns out our company always used fingerprints to clock in. Yvonne collected my fingerprints back then
00:12:38and opened my RV door. Luckily I set up three layers of blast proof doors. No way she can get
00:12:42through facial recognition of the second. The guy nearby lost his patience. He shoved Yvonne aside,
00:12:47knocking her to the ground. Looks like their crew is not exactly tight. The guy raised a shotgun and fired
00:12:51at my RV
00:12:52door. But after a cloud of gun smoke, my RV door was left with just a faint white scuff. Meanwhile
00:12:56the man with the iron bar had clearly run out of patience. He stepped back, took a deep breath,
00:13:00then charged my RV door like a mad dog with a deafening bang. I could even feel it tremble
00:13:05inside the RV. I knew it was time to hit back. I pressed the button on the keypad. In an
00:13:09instant,
00:13:09a surge of electricity wrapped around the RV. A man still ramming the door was fried to a crisp.
00:13:14That sudden sight scared everyone their stink. Yvonne even screamed. They scrambled for the snowmobiles,
00:13:18trying to get away from the electrified RV. Only the dumbstruck guy and terrified Yvonne were left.
00:13:23But they snapped out of it fast. The gunshots and door crashing boom had already drawn many zombies.
00:13:27Before leaving, the guy raised his shotgun and blasted all my cameras. He was tougher than I
00:13:31expected. With no cameras I had no way to scout outside and I didn't dare open the door to launch
00:13:36a drone because a massive zombie horde was sweeping toward me. Even though Yvonne's left the zombie horde
00:13:40still hasn't let up. I can even hear zombies snarling inside. I wanted to gun it and break through them
00:13:44but if I make a rash move some zombie might get stuck under the tires then I wouldn't be able
00:13:48to
00:13:48move an inch. I didn't dare rush. Cameras got wrecked. I couldn't check the surroundings. I could only
00:13:52turn on the high voltage. In a flash the snarls and wails outside the RV all mixed together.
00:13:56About three minutes later it finally started to fade. I can't imagine how many zombies were
00:14:00swarming me just now. Thankfully they should all be down now. After fixing two troubles my nerves
00:14:05finally eased up a bit. Since Yvonne's targeting at me I haven't taken anything for a whole day.
00:14:09Right now I just want a proper meal to treat myself. I pulled out the hot pot base, lamb, beef,
00:14:13tripe and so on from the dimension. Ready to pick out. While I was enjoying the hot pot I was
00:14:17mapping out my plan for tomorrow. Although zombies are gone the fallen ones became natural roadblocks.
00:14:21I have to get out and move them or the RV won't budge. But I can't tell exactly what's around
00:14:25me.
00:14:25Not just afraid there are leftover zombies I'm also worried Yvonne and her guys are waiting nearby.
00:14:29I was a bit distracted and got scolded while eating and just then the sound I'd been waiting for came.
00:14:34The RV system popped up. Congrats host you've survived a life or death crisis. Grand new features unlocked.
00:14:39This time the rewards are richer than before. I've got more options. But I got stumped.
00:14:44I don't know how to deal with rewards like these. In apocalypse I ran into a good problem to have.
00:14:48Systems reward was way too tempting making it hard to choose. Since I survived both Yvonne's assault
00:14:53and a zombie siege. This reward gave me three options. I didn't want to miss every one of them.
00:14:57Option one clear roadblocks. It can wipe out the zombies around me so I won't have to stop for them
00:15:01anymore. Option two hardware upgrade. It can fully upgrade the device of the RV, boost its performance and
00:15:06get rid of the tracker Yvonne planted. And the last option is the sky eye system. It shows the
00:15:10surroundings clear plus thermal imaging out to one kilometer. Even a sparrow gets picked up.
00:15:14After some thought I went with sky eye. Since as long as no one's around I can clear roadblocks
00:15:18myself. Since Yvonne just hit me hard I figure she won't come at me again in the short term.
00:15:22The sky eye system is what I need most right now. Also I gradually figure out how the system works.
00:15:27It seems to grant rewards by threat level. The first time I just scraped my hand so there was only
00:15:31one
00:15:31option. Then I took care of the man in black. It was three rewards too. But two were unknown.
00:15:35And the third time I handled two big problems and got three clear choices. After I made my choice I
00:15:40checked the area around the RV. Figures. Several zombies were still around. As for the rest I
00:15:44should handle them easily with my arsenal. Thankfully Yvonne and others had already left
00:15:48the area around my RV. I decided to rest up today and clear the roadblocks in the morning. I slept
00:15:52like
00:15:52a rock. Didn't realize the next day I'd be facing a brutal gang even tougher than Yvonne. I scanned around
00:15:57the RV with the sky eye system. All creatures within a one kilometer radius were in plain view. Even a
00:16:01sparrow
00:16:01wouldn't slip past. Confirmed there no zombies nearby. I stepped out of the RV to clear the zombie
00:16:05bodies. Then I sent the drone back out. I piloted it to check the area routinely. I'd set up safety
00:16:10zone markers to mark what's safe and what's a hard no-go zone. Suddenly I saw smoke rising in distance.
00:16:15I quickly adjusted the drone's altitude straight toward it. Inside the house a man was lying on the
00:16:19floor covered in blood. A woman and a boy were gagged and tied to the bed. Nearby stood several guys
00:16:23with steel pipes and machetes. They moved in sync like pros, stuffing looted instant noodles and
00:16:28bottled water into huge hiking packs. Their faces were blank without hesitation or mercy. They had
00:16:32to be a trained outfit. Looked like they'd drilled the raids heaps of times. This violent crew's more
00:16:37professional and vicious than Yvonne's makeshift team. They seem to be systematically sweeping
00:16:41through homes and seizing supplies by force. I may still be some distance away from them but if
00:16:45opponents like that lock onto me it must be another nightmare. Figures the trained group spotted the
00:16:49drone too but they didn't care so they already knew I was around. It hit me that they might be
00:16:53members of
00:16:53that black clad man's group who ambushed me before. I've been one of their targets all along. So this
00:16:58doomsday hunting game is just getting started. The violent gang my drone spotted has become my biggest
00:17:02headache lately. Different from Yvonne's team, they're efficient and disciplined with meticulous
00:17:06plans. Since I'm still not sure whether they could pinpoint my exact location like Yvonne,
00:17:10I didn't dare act rashly. After all the RV is a huge target. Driving it now is way too conspicuous.
00:17:15I decided to watch and wait for their next move and keep using the drone to watch their moves. Over
00:17:19the next few
00:17:19days the gang kept moving methodically. Many hallways got cleaned out by them. Their methods
00:17:23were the same. Break the door down first, then rush in and grab supplies and leave no witnesses to prevent
00:17:28retaliation. They're systematically sweeping this area floor by floor, building by building. They'll
00:17:33soon set sights on me too. I had to gather more intel on them. Exact numbers, movement patterns and where
00:17:37their base is. But they were sharp at counter surveillance. I got nothing for several days.
00:17:41They didn't care about my snooping, acting like they'd planned for it. I recalled the drone and went into
00:17:46my dimension. Although I bought many weapons I had never used them before. It was time to start learning how
00:17:50to use them. Instead of waiting to die, I'd rather risk it all. No one can predict what these desperados
00:17:55might do next. In the following days, I kept watching them while learning how to handle guns
00:17:59in my pocket dimension. That day I was having breakfast like usual when I heard a knock at the
00:18:03RV door. At this time, who could it be? Is it another enemy coming for me? Didn't expect another trouble
00:18:07arrived before going to war with the criminal gang. Someone was pounding on my RV door. I quickly
00:18:12checked the sky eye system and found that it turned out to be the thug with a shotgun when Yvonne
00:18:15attacked me.
00:18:16He banged on the door while yanking a rope. On the other end it's Yvonne whose hands tied tight.
00:18:20She sat in the snow, face covered in bruises. The thug put on an extremely fake and fawning look,
00:18:25claiming that Yvonne had led him astray earlier, begging me to open the door. If I gave him a bite
00:18:29to eat, he'd be my personal bodyguard. Seeing I didn't answer, he said he knew Yvonne and I didn't
00:18:33get along so he dragged her here, leaving her at my mercy. I stayed silent. With time crawling by,
00:18:37the thug's patience ran out completely. The phony look from before vanished. He pulled out the gun and
00:18:41started blasting my RV door. He kept cursing me. I still didn't respond. My cold attitude seemed to
00:18:46enrage him again. He said since I wouldn't split the supplies then we'd both go down. He snatched
00:18:50Yvonne's phone and told me he would post my RV's location to everyone and make sure everyone knows
00:18:54that I had abundant supplies stashed inside my RV. Then I'd become the biggest score. But Yvonne grew
00:18:59even more terrified. She knew once my location got out since they're outside with no cover the people
00:19:03rushing over would tear them apart first. And the shots he just fired in a rage had already drawn nearby
00:19:08zombies. Yvonne broke down sobbing. Right then I started hatching a bold plan. Next what I said
00:19:12stunned the two outside. After Yvonne failed to ambush me, that temporary team turned on each other
00:19:17after they got back. At first with plenty of supplies tensions didn't escalate. But as the days went by,
00:19:21her supplies couldn't cover 10 people. Everyone blamed Yvonne saying if it weren't for her failing to
00:19:25scout first they wouldn't have rushed in and no one would have died on that run. Over time their group
00:19:29split
00:19:30into two factions, ended in a blood bar. Yvonne and the thug made it out alive but the winning side
00:19:34kicked
00:19:34them out. Although they tried to rob others for supplies, a guy and a girl can only do so much.
00:19:39Gradually a rift grew between them, which led to the thug kidnapping Yvonne and coming to throw in
00:19:43with me. I gave them two choices. One, we all go down together. Two, they follow my directions and
00:19:47move into the outskirts warehouse. I'd give them the bare minimum of food every day to keep them alive.
00:19:52Both of them showed a look of disbelief. Joy and greed lit up their faces in a flash. They picked
00:19:56the
00:19:56latter without hesitation. Also they're more sure that I'm terrified of my RV's location being exposed.
00:20:01It's my lifeline. Actually they guessed wrong. I was planning to use them as a weapon against those
00:20:05criminal gangs. After all in this apocalypse if handing out a little food buys me better odds
00:20:10then I couldn't lose on this deal. Through the sky eye system I saw zombies nearby creeping toward my RV.
00:20:14I urged them to leave. They took the snowmobile and sped off right away. Later I had more crap to
00:20:19do
00:20:19because this end time showdown was nowhere near over. Yvonne and the thug stared hard at the empty
00:20:23warehouse with despair and bitterness. In this new home I set up for them dust was caked everywhere.
00:20:28Obviously it had been abandoned for long. Forget living here long term even just staying warm would
00:20:32be hard. Yvonne untied the rope at some point. She stood in the empty warehouse looking around
00:20:36without saying a word. Meanwhile the thug looked drained and sat against the wall. I piloted a drone
00:20:40to drop off supplies to them. A bottle of water and a bag of ration biscuits were hung on the
00:20:44drone.
00:20:45Seeing the drone fly in the thug excitedly ran up to meet it. But when he saw it was only
00:20:49that little
00:20:49his expression went from thrilled to angry. He yelled about how stingy I was to the drone. Watching him in
00:20:54the RV
00:20:54I just found it funny. I immediately recalled the drone. Seeing that Yvonne rushed at the drone and
00:20:59took off the water and biscuits. She knew well about the situation. If you get picky you only
00:21:03end up starving. Seeing Yvonne get the supplies he instantly got furious and snatched the ration
00:21:07biscuits like a madman. Pulled the package and started wiping them down. Even choked and kept
00:21:11coughing. While Yvonne just quietly drank her water keeping an eye on the surroundings. Then the thug
00:21:15walked over to Yvonne. They whispered to each other. But they didn't expect that my drone had been modified.
00:21:20Its audio pickup was as good as top tier listening gear. I heard Yvonne say to the thug that I'm
00:21:24guarded
00:21:24right now. Once they won my trust and get into the RV then all my supplies will be theirs. They
00:21:28didn't
00:21:29expect that they were the real prey. Nights in Apocalypse are always bitterly cold. The two were
00:21:33huddled in a warehouse corner. Shaking all over. Cold wind felt like it could tear them apart. Their minds
00:21:37were no longer on stealing my RV. Their top priority was staying warm. Meanwhile inside my RV I was in
00:21:42silky
00:21:43pajamas happily eating an ice cream with the AC set to 28 degrees. All thanks to the RV pocket dimension
00:21:47from the
00:21:48RV system. Before Apocalypse I stockpiled tons of supplies. Fuel included. Power was the least of
00:21:53my worries. Aside from limited range this RV could meet almost all my needs. I lay in bed reading the
00:21:57latest news on my phone. Many outlets had already gone dark. Only scattered rumors remained. Some said
00:22:02they saw zombies mutated a second time. Others predicted the weather would warm up soon but real
00:22:06useful info was rare. I lost patience and dozed off before long. Early the next day I made breakfast as
00:22:11usual. On a whim I made a sandwich. As I ate suddenly an idea flashed in my mind. I put
00:22:15the sandwich down and
00:22:16found a self-heating hot pot in the dimension. Out here many people would even fight to the death
00:22:20for it but I strapped it to the drone without hesitation. I also added a bottle of water and
00:22:24some biscuits. I opened the RV door and piloted the drone toward the warehouse where Yvonne was.
00:22:29This was a test of their humanity. Also the first step of my plan. If it worked I'd undermine them
00:22:33from within. The taming experiment began. Winning without a fight has always been the smartest play.
00:22:37I gave Yvonne and the thugs some food so their main problem right now became how to keep warm and
00:22:41they
00:22:41basically latched on around my RV. They got no extra time to plot against me. Also I picked them against
00:22:46each
00:22:46other with a tub of self-heating hot pot. When the drone reached the warehouse the two of them had
00:22:50lips turned purple from the cold huddled weakly in a corner. But when they saw what was hanging off
00:22:54the drone greed flashed across their faces. They both jumped up and bolted for the drone like crazy.
00:22:59But clearly the thug had the edge in strength. He pounced like a tiger tackling the drone and pinned
00:23:03the hot pot under his body. But the timid Yvonne also burst out with surprising strength and slammed
00:23:07straight into the thug. He went rolling three times. He was instantly enraged and knocked Yvonne to the
00:23:12ground with one slap. Before Yvonne would have backed down but today it brought out her mean
00:23:16streak. She went in and bit the thug's arm hard. The searing pain made him release the hot pot he
00:23:20was guarding. Yvonne seized the moment and snatched it. But her joy lasted barely seconds before the
00:23:24thug kicked her away. The huge gap in strength killed her will to fight. She could only watch as
00:23:29he hogged the meal all to himself. She lay on the ground, tears of frustration sliding down her face.
00:23:33Still she quickly pulled herself together, picked up the water and biscuits. After all nothing matters more
00:23:38than staying alive. But the surprise I had for them was nowhere near over. What I said next left
00:23:42them totally stunned. Over the next three days my drone kept sending to them all kinds of food like
00:23:46instant noodles, canned rice noodles. Of course only one each. Yvonne's always the one stuck with
00:23:50ration bars and bottled water. Today I decided to change it up a bit. I swapped water for milk.
00:23:55The thug was over the moon. He snatched the milk and the canned peaches on top. Seeing that Yvonne yelled
00:23:59at him accusing him of stealing her food. But the thug paid her no mind but calmly pointed toward the
00:24:03hunting rifle. Yvonne snapped. She clenched her fists, charged at the thug, ready for a do or die
00:24:08fight. But he just stared Yvonne down with a vicious look. Her gut told her to let it go. Yvonne
00:24:12grabbed
00:24:13her hair in frustration. All this should have been hers because the one with intel on my RV is her,
00:24:17not the thug. But now she could only watch him steal the spoils that were hers. It was already noon.
00:24:22I was searing a steak in the RV. It sizzled in the pan. A rich meteoroma filled the RV. It
00:24:26was my lunch and
00:24:27my secret weapon today. I hung a steak on the drone, wrapped it in foil and swapped the water for
00:24:31a small
00:24:31bottle of red wine. When the drone reached the warehouse, they're both drawn in by the meat smell.
00:24:36The thug tore off the foil. When he saw that marbled steak inside, he burst into tears. Even
00:24:40dropped to his knees before the drone reverently took the bottle of red wine. That night must be
00:24:44his happiest since the apocalypse. Meanwhile Yvonne stared blankly at all this. The world spun around
00:24:48her. The huge gap in living standards was driving her crazy. The time was ripe. Yvonne finally fell into
00:24:54the trap I had carefully set for her. Day one of our deal. I not only upgraded their food, I
00:24:58also offered to
00:24:59fix their biggest headache. I told them there's a logging site up ahead. They could go chop wood
00:25:02to keep the heat on. I would even give them two sharp axes to help them boost chopping speed.
00:25:07My sudden kindness sure enough raised Yvonne's suspicions. She doubted it but had no clue what
00:25:11I was after. So I said they're holding something over me. If they died, I'd be in trouble too.
00:25:15That got me off the hook. Then they followed the drone's lead, reached the logging site and started
00:25:19chopping, all hyped. But they clearly had no experience. An hour went by and all they left was a shallow
00:25:24notch. I actually didn't tell them there is a huge lumber mill with piles of ready-cut timber
00:25:28five kilometers farther ahead. Also I'd keep working them day after day until they stopped thinking.
00:25:33It's easier for me to roll out the next phase. While they were busting their butts, I was fretting
00:25:37over what to eat for lunch back in the RV. The dazzling ingredients and dimension left me spoiled for
00:25:41choice. After thinking, I decided to make dumplings myself. After all, nothing fits winter better than
00:25:46dumplings. So I ate dumplings while watching the two of them toil away and quietly doing the math.
00:25:50In about a week, my next move can officially kick off. But before that, I figured they needed a little
00:25:54jolt. I need to plant the seed of real bad blood between them. Only then can I truly keep myself
00:25:59safe. So I stepped into my pocket dimension again and pulled out my ace in the hole. The thugs enjoying
00:26:03fine food and wine while Yvonne hadn't even got a single drop of water. That brutal gap in reality
00:26:08smashed through her guard completely. Because in the end, unfairness hurts most. I saw Yvonne staring
00:26:12hard at the drone. Looks like she's made up her mind. So I piloted the drone and slowly flew it
00:26:17nearby.
00:26:17Yvonne followed along. The thug, lost in his feast, didn't notice a thing. Through the drone,
00:26:21I told Yvonne that she needed to be my spy to watch the thug's moves and feed me intel on
00:26:25the
00:26:26others, then quietly gather some intel we need to survive. In return, I'd tuck some food into her
00:26:30ration bars every day like chocolate and nuts. Based on her performance, I'd even offer the same food
00:26:34the thug gets. Yvonne will use any means to reach her goals and she's smart. She understood why I was
00:26:38doing this because no matter how good the food is, she can't outfight the thug for it. This is the
00:26:42best
00:26:42plan for now. She agreed without hesitation. Of course, I knew this partnership was only temporary.
00:26:47Yvonne is the type who will bide her time to get what she wants.
00:26:49In this talk, I never brought up the RV's tracker because we both knew that's her ace in the hole.
00:26:54Lose the tracker and she'd lose her grip on me, then forget improving life,
00:26:57even the most basic ration bars wouldn't be guaranteed. We struck a deal like that,
00:27:00I started enjoying my steak too. It was a prime cut I picked out so tender it practically oozed
00:27:04juice, not just juicy but with a hint of sweetness. After the meal, I checked the map I'd marked before
00:27:09and the next phase of plan officially kicked off. I used a few chocolate bars and slices of bread
00:27:13to get Yvonne to fall in line for now. By deliberately stirring up conflict,
00:27:16the two have gone from partners to rivals. I had her quietly keep tabs on the thug's moves,
00:27:20if anything comes up she'd report to me right away. I also promised her if she can take out the
00:27:24thug,
00:27:24then instant noodles and milk, even beef and others will all be hers. I also had her spill on the
00:27:28rest
00:27:28of her old team. It was pretty complicated. There was a gang boss, some convicts and stowaways from
00:27:33other countries. The only thing they shared was they all had records and were ruthless. I decided to
00:27:37handle them one by one. The top priority now is to map out who's in that crew in town and
00:27:41their daily
00:27:42routines. The more intel the better my odds. Over the next days I plan to have Yvonne go with the
00:27:46thug into town to gather supplies and more importantly to collect intel. After I delivered
00:27:50the past few days supplies for them to the warehouse, I decided to thoroughly check my armory. As soon as
00:27:55I stepped in, a voice I was glad to hear finally chimed in. Congrats host on completing side mission,
00:27:59winning over Yvonne. Mission rewarded face upgrade. I couldn't wait to check the reward,
00:28:03turns out it's a remodel of the dimension. The screen gave me a ton of options. Bathroom, shower, bedroom,
00:28:08kitchen, dining room, even a gym. Looks like systems trying to improve my living conditions,
00:28:13but every single one was tempting. After some thought I made my choice. Since the apocalypse
00:28:17hit, I might be the first to experience life like this. At the next day's morning I laid out
00:28:21the next move fuck them. I told them after days of drone surveillance I found a place loaded with
00:28:25supplies. If they pulled it off they'd have food and water for a year and all I wanted in return
00:28:30was
00:28:30just two barrels of fuel. Yvonne headed out right away. Meanwhile I started tracking the criminal gang's
00:28:35movements. I wanted Yvonne to face them head on. About two hours later they made it to the city.
00:28:39I had them hide in the stairwell and wait for an opening. On my queue they rushed upstairs. The
00:28:44thug walked up to the door, shot the lock off right away then kicked the door open. The piles of
00:28:48supplies inside made their eyes light out. They stuffed their bags in a hurry. Right then the loud
00:28:52gunshot from earlier drew the crew back. Six of them rushed back to the hideout. Seeing Yvonne and the
00:28:57thug, one of them lunged and grappled with the thug right away. Yvonne didn't hesitate, pulled the
00:29:01stun baton she'd prepped, raced to fight. One of them froze for a beat, took the baton
00:29:05for long, twitched a few times then dropped. Meanwhile a gang member had the thug by the
00:29:08throat but the thug was clearly stronger. He flipped him to the floor and took out two in an instant
00:29:13putting the crew on high alert. They pulled out their radios to call for backup and drew their
00:29:16weapons. Turns out they had guns too. Another shot rang out and the thug dropped one but he also left
00:29:21himself open. With a bang he went down in a pool of blood. One of my headaches was taken care
00:29:25of.
00:29:26My RV system gave me a reward. I picked the shower room at once. Since the apocalypse hits to get
00:29:30a hot
00:29:30shower, even basic washing up has been a luxury. Only after I break a sweat can I do a quick
00:29:34wipe
00:29:35down. I've been dying for a hot shower for so long. As soon as I made my choice a door
00:29:38popped
00:29:39up in the RV pocket dimension. I pushed it open. It was not just a shower stall, even a big
00:29:43bathtub.
00:29:43I was freaking thrilled. I quickly changed and started soaking in a hot bath. Outside it's a frozen
00:29:47wasteland, brutal cold. While I'm lying in the tub nice and comfy, enjoying the peace. I almost forgot that
00:29:52I'm in the apocalypse. After the bath I felt so much lighter and my head was clearer. Towel drying my
00:29:56hair,
00:29:57I checked on Iran and the thug's status for the day. I decided to start early. When they got back
00:30:01I handed out supplies like usual but it was cut down to two packs of ration bars and two bottles
00:30:05of water. The thug used to good stuff was venting at the drone. I had to act put upon and
00:30:08say with
00:30:09two extra mouths to feed my supplies might not last much longer, especially fuel. My RV is almost out of
00:30:13gas. But luckily I've been watching the city every day. I can tell them the exact spots with nearby
00:30:17supplies and all they need to do is bring me a jerry can of gas. Of course that's just me
00:30:21playing the
00:30:21victim. I cleaned out every gas station in the city. The RV's fuel is never going to run out. It's
00:30:26just a
00:30:26pretext to get them moving. After the thug and Yvonne talked it over, they agreed to my plan and
00:30:30will head out tomorrow. My plan finally took its first real step. Yvonne and the thug fought with
00:30:34the criminal gang. In just moments four people were dead. Now it was just Yvonne left. I thought
00:30:38the bad blood between us would end today. Didn't expect she'd be packing a handgun too and dropped
00:30:42two of them in a second. I suddenly remembered Yvonne used to be an air gun enthusiast. Her shooting
00:30:47skills were pretty much national team level. But moments later the rest of the gang showed up at the
00:30:51scene. They surrounded Yvonne. I was sure she was done for this time. I recalled the drone and stopped following
00:30:55the
00:30:56next. I sat in the driver's seat and let out a long breath thinking I'd finally taken care of Yvonne.
00:31:00Then I just needed to focus on taking down the gang. Anyone who knows my location won't get away.
00:31:04I won't let myself be exposed to danger. As I relaxed, a wave of hunger hit me. I started picking
00:31:09ingredients in the dimension. After an hour of work, a pot of red wine beef stew is ready, filling
00:31:13the air with a rich aroma. I ate while reading the news on my phone. Suddenly one alert made my
00:31:18hair
00:31:18stand on end. Turns out it wasn't just humans affected by apocalypse. Plenty of animals mutated too.
00:31:23Around this time, lots of people caught them on camera. From bears and tigers to insects and rats.
00:31:27And their evolution was further along getting more dangerous. When I was worrying about how to deal
00:31:31with this, the criminal gang was celebrating a new member joining and that person turned out to be.
00:31:35A sudden mutation caused another twist struck in a few months. A lot of animals mutated. Their attack
00:31:39and threat levels skyrocketed. This left me in hesitation again. If I got close to the city, zombies would
00:31:44swarm me. And I still had to deal with criminal gangs. But the outskirt was an animal paradise. Anything could
00:31:49go
00:31:49wrong at any moment. It's not the only bad news. When I used the drone to patrol over the city
00:31:53as
00:31:53usual I spotted a familiar figure. I immediately steered the drone to give chase but I lost the
00:31:57target at the corner. I had a bad feeling and I was right to worry. Yvonne was actually alive. I
00:32:01had
00:32:01not confirmed that she was dead and pulled the drone back too soon. But Yvonne proposed a deal with the
00:32:05gang. She told them everything about me. She even dug up my pre-apocalypse shopping list and told them
00:32:10that there are abundant supplies inside my RV. In return she only wanted a small payout and the RV's build
00:32:15and
00:32:15attack methods could be fully disclosed to them. I had planned to use the gang to get rid of her.
00:32:19Didn't expect they would secretly team up. My two biggest headaches were about to join forces
00:32:22and I had no clue. Right then I just wanted to run from this danger filled place. I fired up
00:32:27the RV
00:32:27and drove away from the city. But after a bit my sky eye system told me that an unknown creature
00:32:31was
00:32:31closing in on me. Moving insanely fast. I zoomed in and it was a mutated wild boar charging straight
00:32:36at me and it slammed hard into my RV. I struck back right away and fired up electric grid. But
00:32:40what
00:32:40happened next made me feel hopeless for the first time. A mutated wild boar is charging me hard. More zombies
00:32:45are converging on my position. But the life-saving setup I'm proud of just failed on me. My electric
00:32:49fence system is useless against it. And its ramming keeps getting stronger. I can feel the RV shaking
00:32:54hard. And its noise is attracting the nearby zombies over here. I floor it hoping to shake
00:32:58off the boar. But it speeds up again. And its hit this time set my RV out of control almost
00:33:02slamming
00:33:02into a tree. I realize I can't run anymore. I have to take it down fast. Stepping out of the
00:33:06RV now is
00:33:07dangerous but if I let it keep attacking things will get way worse. I rushed over to the pocket dimension
00:33:11armory. Grabbed a heavy machine gun and threw on a bulletproof vest. Once I was set I spotted last
00:33:16night's leftover beef. I stuffed it into a bag. While the boar was hitting the other side I opened
00:33:20the door and hurled the bag far away. The smell of meat grabbed its attention. It ran over and started
00:33:25eating. I took the chance to set up the gun and shot it. Even after getting shot it still didn't
00:33:29go down.
00:33:29Being enraged it whipped around and charged at me. I was terrified and kept pouring on more firepower.
00:33:34When it was still only a few yards away it finally crashed. I also slunk down scared out of my
00:33:38mind. But the
00:33:38danger isn't over yet. There are still a lot of zombies to deal with. Right then a system reward
00:33:43popped up. But this time it made me feel disappointed. I took care of the mutated creatures.
00:33:47But the system actually rewarded me with a sound system. Who feels like listening to music now?
00:33:51I accepted the reward in despair and headed back. As before I used the electrified grid to stop the
00:33:56next zombies. After that I was wiped out. I decided to get out and clear the bodies tomorrow. But that
00:34:00decision left a hidden danger. The next day I saw that the ground right under my RV was covered with
00:34:04firewood and straw. And massive spike barricades are up ahead. Over 10 criminal gangs had my
00:34:08RV completely surrounded. One of them was wearing a creepy mask. It hit me instantly. They wanted
00:34:13to burn me alive. But temperatures outside have plunged past minus 100 degrees. Even a lighter won't
00:34:18light. Do they have some secret weapon? While I was thinking. They sent a rep to negotiate just like
00:34:22the last group did. I ignored them. But they clearly already knew about the electrified grid. No one
00:34:26dared get close to the RV. When I thought they were about to leave. One of them grinning in a
00:34:30creepy way
00:34:30headed for my RV suddenly. He pulled something out from his bag. I looked closer. It was a military grade
00:34:35incendiary block. This fuel burns insanely hot and still works in extreme cold. It's a common
00:34:39material for incendiary bombs. The incendiary block went off instantly and also ignited the straw and
00:34:44firewood they had set up. My RV doesn't have a fire suppression system. The temperature inside started
00:34:48to skyrocket. Their meticulous plan left me in despair. Then something even worse happened. The masked
00:34:53stranger slowly took off the mask. It was Yvonne. Turns out she didn't die that day. She even found
00:34:57a new backup. Inside the heat kept surging. Outside a fully armed gang surrounded me. Yvonne had me cornered.
00:35:03Backed by a new team Yvonne had me cornered again. If I stayed in the RV the rising heat
00:35:07would make me pass out from dehydration. But if I left the RV I'd be facing a well-armed criminal
00:35:11gang.
00:35:12Even with a bulletproof vest and better weapons they'd shoot me dead in no time. The temperature
00:35:16kept climbing and I was starting to black out. When I couldn't take it and was about to surrender
00:35:20a bold idea suddenly popped into my head. I turned on the newly upgraded sound system started playing music
00:35:25and cranked the volume to max. In quiet outskirts that kind of sound hit like a bomb going off. Yvonne
00:35:30saw this
00:35:30and couldn't help mocking me saying I was playing my own funeral music. Then urged me to surrender
00:35:34give up resisting and step out. A few from the gang saw this and burst out laughing too. But I
00:35:38paid
00:35:39them no mind. Watching more and more creatures converging on the RV I made up my mind. I stepped
00:35:43into the dimension. Grabbed a slab of fresh Wagyu planning to lure mutated creatures away later.
00:35:48Then picked a bulletproof vest, a helmet and a trusty gun ready for a fight to the death. Meanwhile
00:35:52the gang outside caught on too that I meant to draw zombies over and take them down with me. But
00:35:56they didn't
00:35:56panic at all. They had the guns and regular zombies were no match. Figures before the zombies reached
00:36:01the RV they had already been taken down. Suddenly a fusing scream seemed to rip the sky open. I knew
00:36:06the time had come. I killed the music and slowly walked to the door. The fight took another turn. I
00:36:10was
00:36:10about to open the door for a fight. A shrill screech stopped me cold. Suddenly a mutated eagle
00:36:15showed up high above. It dove down in an instant like a precision bullet. It charged straight at the
00:36:19gang. In a blink it took one of them out. It was crazy fast almost impossible to aim at. All
00:36:23they could do
00:36:24a fire wildly and take the hits. Because of the mutation its feathers were like steel blades.
00:36:29Even just a brush from its wings would leave a nasty cut. Several in the gang were covered in cuts.
00:36:33While they're distracted zombies were getting closer to the RV. Their well-trained crew finally
00:36:37started to fall apart. The tide turned in an instant. Seeing things go south Yvonne ran toward the
00:36:41snowmobile. But in panic she nearly got knocked down by a zombie. The other survivors caught on
00:36:46started fighting as they retreated. But mutated creatures were still on their heels. In the end the
00:36:50gang was down to three who scrambled away with Yvonne. And that wasn't the only good news.
00:36:54The icy wind outside the RV kept picking up. It even blew out the blaze under the RV. I switched
00:36:59on the RV's AC and set it to cool. The RV started cooling fast. No one else but me would
00:37:03run cold AC
00:37:04in an apocalyptic deep freeze. All I need to do now is to clear the remaining zombies and quietly wait
00:37:09for the eagle to fly off. Didn't expect the most useless reward I thought ended up saving my life
00:37:13when it mattered. I figured since I overcame such a massive disaster the reward would be hefty.
00:37:17Right then system reward popped up. The reward actually doubled. With mutated creatures help
00:37:21I dodged a bullet. The RV system upgraded again and popped up a reward. Two panels appeared in front
00:37:26of me. On the left was the RV self-repair function. As long as the RV isn't critically damaged it'll
00:37:31slowly repair the damaged spots automatically. The undercarriage that got scorched is now good as new.
00:37:35The panel on the right was an unlock prompt. I tapped it and found that I unlocked the farming
00:37:39system. I rushed into the pocket dimension. A new wooden door had appeared by the bathroom door.
00:37:44I opened it. A blinding white light flash. When I opened my eyes again I was in a veggie plot.
00:37:48The sun hung high in the sky. A head lay about an acre of veggie beds. I scooped up a
00:37:52handful of
00:37:52soil and breathed in its earthy smell. I was thrilled. Then it hit me that potatoes are tubers and grow
00:37:57fast. I still had plenty in storage. So I decided to use potatoes for a test. If it works even
00:38:02if
00:38:02supplies run out later I can rely on the farming system to be self-sufficient. After I finished I headed
00:38:06back
00:38:06into my RV. I had a brush with death today. But thankfully it ended well. The dimension got upgraded. My
00:38:11RV
00:38:11system also got better. Even if bigger crises hit I've got the means to fight back. But today I
00:38:16decided to treat myself. I finally had some food again. Then I took a hot bar. After that I scrolled
00:38:20the news on my phone. What happened today made me realize that the best weapon in the apocalypse is
00:38:25intel. The more intel I get the better my odds. Right then a message caught my eye. Three days after
00:38:29Yvonne and the gang attacked my RV I finally cleared all the zombies barricades and traps around. I
00:38:34decided to drive the RV and leave here. Because lately the non-stop sounds of fighting have been drawing more
00:38:39zombies and mutated creatures to this area. I need to find another secluded spot. Also last
00:38:43night I got a piece of intel that really stuck with me. Someone put together a bestiary of mutated
00:38:47creatures ranked them by threat level starting from F. F tier is the least dangerous like an
00:38:51ant or sparrow. B tier means creatures a regular person can hardly handle like that or before.
00:38:56And the eagle is A tier even several well-armed people would handle it. S tier includes large predators
00:39:00like tigers cheetahs and black bears. If you run into them you basically have to give up. But what worries
00:39:05me
00:39:06most is. Above S there are still locked SS and SSS tiers. What kind of monsters could be even scarier?
00:39:11I couldn't help but shiver. These days I've checked the surrounding area with drone and marked a few
00:39:15safe spots. I'm driving out there today. Meanwhile because this operation failed the gang took heavy
00:39:19casualties and lost guns ammo and other vital supplies. They pinned all of it on me. Yvonne even
00:39:24swore in public that she'd make me pay in blood. I have to quickly find the tracking device she planted
00:39:28or I'll be facing her endless harassment and revenge. Right now I'm racing the clock to shake off
00:39:32Yvonne's surveillance before their second attack. To get rid of danger I drove through the night to
00:39:37the marked safe zone. After I arrived I grabbed a quick meal then went to the farming system.
00:39:41Surprisingly the potatoes I planted yesterday were already sprouting today. Turns out this farm has
00:39:45a special boost too. Anything planted here grows faster. I came to the storage room right away and
00:39:51started looking for seeds to plant. I even stumbled on a big bag of seeds. It should be tossed in
00:39:55by the
00:39:55farmers when I bought supplies in bulk from them. Never thought it would come in so handy. Given all the
00:39:59different colored seeds it's probably a mix of various crops. I figured I'd give it a shot and
00:40:03spent a whole day planting them all. Then I went back and took a hot bath going over what happened
00:40:08recently. My biggest threat now is Yvonne's tracking and the RV's biggest flaw that it can only defend
00:40:12passively. The electric fence only works sometimes. I badly need to find a way to go on the offensive.
00:40:17But in the end I decided to take care of Yvonne's GPS tracker first. Actually before the apocalypse hit
00:40:22I had already done a full check of the RV but found nothing. Looks like its exact location is near
00:40:27the engine.
00:40:27Earlier I held back because I was afraid of damaging the RV. But now the RV has a self-repair
00:40:32function
00:40:32so no matter how I mess with it it can restore itself. So I cracked open the engine. Sure enough
00:40:36I found a tiny chip. That means from now on I'm free from Yvonne's tracking. And I've got another plan.
00:40:41I decided to send her a big doomsday gift. Now that I disabled Yvonne's GPS I finally won't be giving
00:40:45away my location so easily. I actually feel safe now. Of course I won't let Yvonne off that easy. Ever
00:40:50since the
00:40:50apocalypse hit she's been out to kill me. But this time I'm striking first. I strapped the GPS to a
00:40:55drone and sent
00:40:55it flying toward the forest. I left it deep in the woods. If Yvonne rushes over the mutated beasts
00:41:00in woods will tear her to pieces. With all that handled I let out alongside. I fired up the RV's
00:41:04sound system and put on some mellow music. Then I started picking ingredients in the dimension.
00:41:08I hadn't realized the RV could keep food fresh so I didn't store much seafood. But today to celebrate
00:41:13I decided to splurge a little. I picked sea cucumber plus abalone and an Australian lobster. Today I'm
00:41:18making deluxe seafood noodles. I finally got to taste a rare treat in this apocalypse. I was also planning ahead.
00:41:22If the farming system actually works in the future I can have fresh veggies and even a steady stream
00:41:27of fruit. Going forward my daily routine besides the usual checks is working the farm. My intel
00:41:32gathering hasn't fallen behind either. I still go hard every day tracking what's happening out there.
00:41:36Now the civilian factions break down into three types. One is criminal gangs. Another is well-trained
00:41:40and well-equipped mercenaries. The last is survivor alliance formed by survivors. No matter which
00:41:45faction regular folks face they don't stand a chance. Right then a notification popped up. Turns out
00:41:49there's a fourth and even stronger faction. I was just about to tap it to check when I realized
00:41:53it wasn't a simple message. The world order has completely changed an apocalypse. I never
00:41:57expected that this group would actually rise to rule their own turf. Curious I opened the file on
00:42:02the fourth faction. It was something called Nighty Circus. Turns out the circus animals were all mutated
00:42:07due to the extreme cold. But nobody expected that they could still take orders from humans. There are not
00:42:11just eagles and elephants there are even tigers lions and black bears the kind of aggressive predators. The circus
00:42:16members have now completely taken over z city with a powerful army of mutated creatures. It's still a
00:42:21couple hundred miles from me so it shouldn't be a threat for now. But this intel also gave me a
00:42:25new
00:42:25idea. If mutated creatures can be tamed does that mean I could have a pet of my own? But I
00:42:29shot down
00:42:29that idea right away. After attacks by the eagle and boar I've been terrified of these creatures. Forget
00:42:34taming them I don't even dare get close. After reading the news I headed back to the farm to check
00:42:38how the
00:42:38crops were growing just as I expected. Even without any fertilizer crops here grow way faster than in the real
00:42:43world. A lot of
00:42:44them have already sprouted. I went online to identify the crops. The result thrilled me. Most of these
00:42:49seeds turned out to be fruit. Grapes, watermelons, apples and more up to 20 kinds. I'll have all the
00:42:53fruit I want soon. I happily watered the crops and that joy made me forget the deadly threat lurking
00:42:58in dark. I didn't realize this lapse would come back to bite me big time. Since I took out Yvonne's
00:43:03GPS
00:43:03tracker life has never been this peaceful. Besides the occasional zombie attack the whole day has been calm.
00:43:08I finally have time to slow down to dig into my farming system. Life is slowly getting back on track.
00:43:12During the day I tend my farm. In the afternoon I use a drone to scout around. For the rest
00:43:16of time I
00:43:17spend on making life better. Before this most of my energy went into fighting Yvonne and her crew and
00:43:21I was living on instant noodles. But recently I tried a few new dishes. Chicken soup, cooked chicken wings,
00:43:26grazed pork. You'd never believe that I'm living in a minus 80 degrees apocalypse. I haven't fully let
00:43:30my god down. That nighty circus I found online earlier still has me worried. I've already seen the power
00:43:35of A-class mutated creatures. I can hardly imagine how terrifying an S-class 1 would be. I need to
00:43:40quickly
00:43:40figure out how to attack from inside the RV. I stepped into my armory looking at the neatly lined
00:43:44up weapons. I couldn't help but sigh. Even though my armory is packed with top tier gear. They all
00:43:49have a fatal flaw. I have to leave the RV to use them. Until the very last moment. No way
00:43:53I'm
00:43:53abandoning this fortress to face the enemy head on. While I was thinking. Suddenly a bold idea hit me.
00:43:58Since every reward from the RV is tied to me resolving a crisis. Does that mean if I solve another
00:44:02crisis
00:44:02my RV system will level up again? Maybe there will be an offensive system in there. But deliberately putting
00:44:07myself in danger goes completely against my plan to stay low to survive this apocalypse.
00:44:11Staring at a warehouse packed with gear I found myself torn. I'm taking stock of the armory.
00:44:15Pistol. Rifle. Machine gun. Grenade. Time bomb. They pack serious firepower. But since the apocalypse
00:44:20hit they've barely seen any use. I let out a sigh and walked out. Suddenly that familiar system voice
00:44:26chimed in. Congrats host. You've eliminated 500 zombies. Mission progress is at 100%. Host. Want to claim
00:44:32the reward? This sudden reward had me scratching my head. I've never seen this side quest before. No
00:44:36idea where it even came from. While I was still confused I spotted a yellow exclamation mark in
00:44:41the bottom of system panel. I tapped it and confirmed the task right away. A blinding white
00:44:45flash erupted. I had a strong hunch. Once I finished the task it would fix the flaw that I couldn't
00:44:50attack
00:44:50from inside. System voice chimed again. Congrats host. Task completed. Reward. Full upgrade to RV glass.
00:44:57One way glass function enabled. I read the description carefully. Turns out this glass is 10 times stronger and
00:45:02harder than tempered glass. It also has an amazing feature. It's like a one-way mirror. You can see out
00:45:06in
00:45:06the inside but not the other way around. It only let you attack from the inside. I couldn't wait to
00:45:10try it. I pressed the pistol against the glass. With a bang. The round went right out. There wasn't
00:45:16a mark on the glass. I went outside the RV to test it. Even being raped with a gun. The
00:45:20glass didn't
00:45:21have so much as a scratch. I was pumped. My fortress had finally upgraded to a mobile armored battle
00:45:26wagon. And my war rig was about to face its first battle. Finished the zombies cleanup mission. I
00:45:30unlocked the attack system by surprise. To figure out how the one-way glass works. I used a high-speed
00:45:34camera
00:45:35to film how the bullet passed through the glass and fight it back at 1000x slow-mo. I found that
00:45:39the instant it touched the glass the glass opened a gap on its own. Then sealed back up instantly.
00:45:43I ran more tests. I threw something out from the RV. But this time it was blocked and fell down.
00:45:48I think
00:45:48the passage opens only when something reaches the glass with a high speed. Anyway it's enough for me.
00:45:53After testing the new system, I went back to the farm to check on the crops. The potatoes I planted
00:45:57earlier have all sprouted. Based on the farming guides online, the growth rate in the farming system is
00:46:01about three to four times faster than outside. I took a look around. The other crops look similar.
00:46:05Give it about a month. Lots of crops including potatoes will harvest. I'm getting closer to
00:46:09eating fresh fruits and veggies. Thinking of that I decided to treat myself. I took out the fruits I
00:46:13usually saved like watermelon, strawberries and grapes. I cut them up and drizzled yogurt. A quick
00:46:18fruit and yogurt bowl is done. Lately Yvonne hasn't been bugging me. I finally have time to slow
00:46:22down to study my RV system. I keep thinking it still has lots of features I didn't know. But now
00:46:26I'm
00:46:26planning to put all energy into developing the system. Now that I have an attack system,
00:46:30the proactive RV upgrade plan I had in mind can finally get rolling. Right as I was checking the
00:46:34area nearby to the sky eye system, something new happened. In apocalypse I didn't expect the drone
00:46:39I used to gather intel ended up causing big trouble. In the morning I sent the drone to scout around
00:46:43the
00:46:43RV as usual. After I made sure everything was clear I brought the drone back. But on the way back
00:46:47I had a
00:46:48bad feeling. I felt like something had me in its sights. So I swung the drone around. I spotted a
00:46:52mutated
00:46:52eagle about a hundred meters behind. I broke out in a cold sweat and sped the drone up. After all,
00:46:57it's the only tool I used to gather intel around the RV. I can't afford to lose it. But strangely
00:47:01the eagle didn't seem interested in attacking the drone. It seemed to be tailing. The drone made it
00:47:05back to the RV safely. The eagle flew off after it went around a few times over my RV. I
00:47:09didn't
00:47:09think much of it. After I finished my farm work it was afternoon. As soon as I stepped out I
00:47:13felt the
00:47:13RV was shaking in a weird way. I realized my RV was under attack. That familiar sense of danger
00:47:18rose up in me again. I rushed to the window to check. It was a mutated eagle. It was slamming
00:47:22into my RV.
00:47:23I knew this was bad. I rushed to the armory and grabbed my weapons to fight back. I started with
00:47:27a pistol. After I fired a few tear shots I found it was tough like the boar with insane defense.
00:47:31The pistol was useless. I tried a shotgun next. But its range is too short and the eagle was too
00:47:35fast.
00:47:36I couldn't hurt it at all. Finally I pulled out a machine gun trying to pin it down with fire.
00:47:40But it dodged the bullets with precision. I was out of options. That deep sense of helplessness
00:47:44filled the RV again. I'm at logaheads with the eagle. A lightning fast mutated eagle
00:47:48versus an indestructible RV with a self-repair system. Neither of us could touch the other.
00:47:51Right then it hit me that the last mutated eagle never attacked the RV. But this one
00:47:55keeps attacking non-stop like it's following orders. Staring at the eagle diving over and
00:47:59over a thought flashed through my mind. Someone was controlling it. And the handler had to be
00:48:03nearby. I dropped the machine gun and ran to the RV's control room. I used the sky eye to scan
00:48:08the
00:48:08area nearby. Figures there's a shadowy figure behind a tree 500 meters out. Looks like he's the one
00:48:12controlling it. I instantly switched my target from the eagle to the mystery man. I grabbed a sniper
00:48:17rifle from the armory and took aim at the mystery man. But the wind and snow were insane and my
00:48:21aim
00:48:21isn't great so I missed several shots hitting the tree instead. The mystery man realized his
00:48:25position was exposed. He had no idea where my shots were coming from so he bolted blindly actually
00:48:29leaving the tree's cover and ran into the distance. That massive opening gave me my chance. I took aim
00:48:34again. As a shot rang out I hit him in the foot. His piercing scream echoed across the sky. I
00:48:38wasn't
00:48:39giving him any chance. He was immobilized now so I fired a few more rounds and he finally went down.
00:48:43And the eagle without orders stopped attacking and stood there in the snow. I sprayed it with the machine gun
00:48:47again and easily took care of that mess. I was about to breathe easy not knowing the real disaster
00:48:51was just beginning. I was feeling lucky for dodging a bullet when a thought suddenly exploded in my
00:48:55head. That man might be from the so-called night circus. I'd been marked again by the most dangerous
00:49:00group. To check my hunch I went over to the mystery man's body and fished an ID out of his
00:49:05pocket.
00:49:05It said night circus in bold letters. I realized I'd gotten on the bad side of a really tough enemy.
00:49:10I rushed back to the RV and started digging for leads on the night circus online. While I was searching,
00:49:14system voice suddenly chimed in. Congrats host on slaying mutated eagle. Mission reward, kitchen
00:49:20space. That was at least some good news for me because when I cook I can only use the RV's
00:49:24tiny
00:49:24stove top. The space is cramped and the heat is too weak to make many home style dishes. I couldn't
00:49:28wait to enter the kitchen space. The neatly arranged equipment blew me away. A silver stainless steel
00:49:33workbench, three meters long, with three high-powered gas burners on top and a built-in oven below.
00:49:38It even had a dishwasher ready for me. On the side counter a juicer was lined up neatly with a
00:49:42coffee maker
00:49:42and a toaster. On a shelf in the corner dozens of jars of spices were stacked from pepper to cumin,
00:49:47you name it. This is straight up a five-star hotel kitchen setup. Now I can try way more dishes.
00:49:52My
00:49:53quality of life would skyrocket. The reward for this fight to the death was way better than I expected.
00:49:58Meanwhile, the night circus also got word a member had died. Everyone else put on a vicious look.
00:50:03Another brutal round of revenge was about to kick off. I'm scouring the web for info on the night
00:50:07circus. This group is way more brutal and harder to deal with than I imagined. They've completely
00:50:11taken over the city as the undisputed overlords. Their biggest trait is being greedy and sex-obsessed.
00:50:16Anything they set sights on, whether supplies or women, they'll do whatever it takes to get.
00:50:20The whole city is their playground. Many original residents have already left the city. Just to
00:50:24avoid becoming their playthings, many women would rather freeze to death outside. The web is flooded
00:50:28with curses to this group. People have tried to resist before and formed a self-defense team,
00:50:32but in less than half a day a hundred-strong squad was crushed by mutated creatures. Since then,
00:50:36no one has dared to defy them. They only dare to vent online. Amid endless insults,
00:50:40I finally found useful info. Their leader is Frank Lowe. He commands a mutated male lion and a mutated
00:50:45jaguar. Both insanely fast and destructive. That hundred-strong resistance was taken out by these
00:50:49two. The deputy leader is Charles, his younger brother. He owns a mutated elephant and a mutated
00:50:54black bear. Not just insanely strong, their defense is off the charts. Guns barely work on them. The rest of
00:50:59the team also have B-tier or higher mutated creatures. The mysterious guy I beat earlier is also
00:51:03highly ranked in this group. Scaring at all this info I get more scared. I need to come up with
00:51:07a plan now.
00:51:07Just as I was about to close the page, a wanted list popped up in front of me. And the
00:51:11target on it
00:51:12was actually me. After I took down the mystery guy, I got targeted by the biggest local group,
00:51:16Night Circus. My wanted posters were everywhere online. Since the reward was insanely high,
00:51:20a lot of people online started teaming up to come after me. My life was dangerous all over again.
00:51:24I even tried to drive away, but no matter where I drove, my location would get posted on their
00:51:28platform the next day. Looks like Night Circus also had people who are great at recon and tracking.
00:51:32I gave up on running and had to keep taking care of whoever came looking for trouble. That kind of
00:51:36life dragged on for a full week. Once many people saw my RVs rock solid defenses and live wires around
00:51:41it, they chose to give up hunting me. Plus it's brutally cold now and there are tons of zombies
00:51:44nearby which all serve as my shield. People coming to me kept dwindling. I finally had a moment to
00:51:49catch my breath. I cooked myself a simple meal, then went to tidy up the crops in my farm. I
00:51:53figured I
00:51:53should be able to sleep well tonight. Just as I opened a webpage to look up Night Circus's updates,
00:51:57my phone suddenly rang. It's Yvonne, the last person I wanted to hear from. I picked up the phone.
00:52:02I thought she'd play the victim again, but she was throwing out threats cockily. She told me to
00:52:06get ready. We're meeting soon. This time she's gonna settle all the scores. I hung up annoyed.
00:52:10Then it hit me that Yvonne somehow had my address. She had teamed up with Night Circus. Nemesis from
00:52:15past life paired with the strongest enemy now. A bad feeling rose up inside me. I opened my eyes and
00:52:19saw
00:52:20my nemesis Yvonne standing in front of my RV. Behind her stood a group of heavily armed people. Their gear
00:52:25looked even better than before, but this time they didn't go with fire. When I was wondering what
00:52:28they were planning, Yvonne spoke up. She yelled that I wouldn't get any chance this time, then
00:52:32signaled them to attack. They surrounded my RV in a tight circle, then pulled things like water guns
00:52:37from their bags and started spraying my RV. Seeing the liquid constantly spraying the RV, I realized
00:52:41it's concentrated sulfuric acid. They meant to eat away my RV completely. It was more effective than
00:52:46banging on the door before. The electric grid around the RV was visibly getting eaten away. Turns out Yvonne and
00:52:51the Night Circus had struck a deal. She take me out for them and only wanted me and my RV
00:52:55as payment.
00:52:56While they had to supply the gear, the Night Circus hijacked a local chemical plant and cranked out tons
00:53:00of sulfuric acid overnight to melt down my mobile fortress. Their assault wasn't over. Another team
00:53:05pulled out flamethrowers and blasted my RV. Seeing Yvonne smirking outside the RV, I knew I couldn't wait
00:53:10any longer. I grabbed the machine gun from the armory. As I pulled the trigger, a bunch of them dropped.
00:53:14Facing with a sudden twist, they immediately lost their nerve. Clearly they had no idea about my RV's attack systems.
00:53:19While they were wondering where the bullets are coming from, I quickly dropped two more.
00:53:23Watching their buddies die, the acid sprayers ditched their gear and bolted. Yvonne's swagger vanished too,
00:53:28her eyes going from dazed to terrified and she turned and ran. Just when I thought it was over,
00:53:32someone launched a second wave. Conventional attacks didn't work on mutated creatures with insane
00:53:36defense. I decided to take a risk to try with fire. While both were busy eating, I doused them with
00:53:41a ton
00:53:41of gasoline from the RV, then blasted them with my flamethrower. Flames covered with them in an instant.
00:53:46Figures, they're highly resistant to physical damage and cold, but can't deal with high heat.
00:53:50The creatures howled and ran around like crazy. Meanwhile I kept holding them with flames. After
00:53:5410 minutes of fighting, they both collapsed from sheer exhaustion. But I knew they wouldn't die that
00:53:58easily. I pulled out my trump card, a powerful rocket launcher. Earlier they wouldn't stop moving
00:54:02so I couldn't get a shot. But now they were immobilized. It's the perfect moment to finish them.
00:54:07A huge muslin cloud rode over the snow. Even my RV shook hard in the powerful shockwave. Seeing the
00:54:11scorched mutated creatures on the ground, I breathed easy. But the sound I was waiting for didn't come.
00:54:16My system reward didn't trigger, which meant the danger was far from over. I quickly opened my sky
00:54:21eye system. No one was left around the RV. It hit me that survived Yvonne and Charles probably ran back
00:54:25to tip them off. Night Circus is about to launch another assault on me. After so many close calls,
00:54:30I've got plenty of experience. With no one around, I planted a ton of remotely detonated C4 bombs around the
00:54:34RV.
00:54:35The moment they step into my range, I'll send them straight to hell. I was about to set even more
00:54:39traps.
00:54:39Suddenly sky eye blared an alarm. Some people were closing in on my RV faster than I'd imagined.
00:54:44The final showdown is coming. I crashed Yvonne's crew. I didn't even have time to celebrate.
00:54:48Then the real enemy launched an attack. Right as I was ready to take Yvonne out,
00:54:51the RV suddenly shook violently like something was ramming it. I looked back. A mutated elephant
00:54:56was ramming my RV. The deputy leader of Night Circus was actually in on the attack too. If I let
00:55:00it
00:55:01keep ramming, my RV would get flipped soon. So I pulled out a bunch of weapons then started attacking it.
00:55:05But just like people say online, that elephant was insanely tough. Neither my high
00:55:09voltage shock nor machine gun could hurt it at all. Even my most powerful shotgun could only push it
00:55:13back and slow its advance. And that wasn't the only bad news. A black bear joined the attack too.
00:55:18My RV getting clipped was only a matter of time. I kept trying all kinds of weapons but nothing worked.
00:55:22I wanted to take out Charles but my sky eye system couldn't spot any enemies. Looks like they were
00:55:26ready for that. He was directing those two creatures far away. Just when I didn't know what to do I
00:55:31suddenly had an idea. I ran into the kitchen, grabbed two jars of honey and hurled them out the window.
00:55:35Luckily they weren't stopped by the one-way glass. The honey hit the snow giving off a mouth-watering
00:55:40smell. The bear was drawn right in. It gave up attacking the RV and started licking the honey.
00:55:44Seeing that it worked I rushed to the farm and harvested grass and leaves then tossed them out.
00:55:48In the cold wave these fresh leaves are rarer than gold. The smell of fresh grass made the elephant
00:55:53stop its attack. I was safe for the moment and my mind was racing for the next move. Suddenly the
00:55:57flamethrower lying in the snow gave me an idea. I decided to try something bold. The entire night
00:56:02surface mobilized to fight me to the death. Having learned from last time, all of them kept well
00:56:06away from my RV. They just sent mutated creatures to close in. Once they were all in my bomb zone,
00:56:10I hit the button. A decking blast shook the snowy fields. Plane shot sky high. Some of the weaker
00:56:15mutants were even blown into the air. In just a moment the mutants were almost wiped out. Only the
00:56:19leaders lion and jaguar remained. But they were also badly wounded by blast. Their bodies covered in
00:56:24bloody gashes. I gave them no chance to breathe and kept shooting at their wounds. Although their attack power
00:56:28and speed were insane. Their defense was nowhere near the elephant before. Besides my bombs had
00:56:32drained most of their stamina. The jaguar went down first. And the lion seemed to be following an
00:56:36order and started running away from the RV. Looks like Frank ordered a retreat to preserve his last
00:56:41fighting strength. I wasn't about to give him any chance. I fired even faster. A hail of bullets
00:56:45pounded the lion. It bolted ahead at full speed. Even with its handler right in front, it didn't stop.
00:56:50Looks like my attacks made it completely lose its mind. It charged into the crowd and started mauling
00:56:54everything it saw. Yvonne was among them. The lion's claws slashed at Yvonne's chest. She collapsed in
00:56:59a pool of blood. The bad blood between us finally ended today. The others weren't spared either.
00:57:03They're pretty much wiped out. As for the rest who ran without the mutant's protection. And with the
00:57:07long-standing bad blood with the folks, life won't be easy for them. I put my gun away. That familiar
00:57:11voice came on again. I lowered my guard and checked the reward. But I didn't expect it would be the
00:57:15last
00:57:15reward I'd ever get. I took down the night circus. The system's reward arrived right on time.
00:57:20Congrats for completing the final mission. Defeating the strongest group night circus.
00:57:25Mission reward. Purification ray. I checked what it can do. Turns out it purifies all mutated
00:57:29creatures and zombies within 1 km around the RV. Freeing them from mutation. Which means from now
00:57:34on my RV won't get attacked by them anymore. And if I want, I might even become humanity's savior.
00:57:38This reward completely blew my mind. I accepted it and walked into my farm. All the crops were ripe.
00:57:43I started picking time to treat myself. I had been busy all day. The tables covered with food. I used
00:57:48the potatoes I drew to stir fry some spicy shredded potatoes and made braised fish and
00:57:52fork as the hearty dish. I also simmered chicken soup. Even food for dessert was ready. As I ate,
00:57:56I planned what comes next. I never imagined being a hero for all humanity. But I feel this might be
00:58:00the reason I was reborn, like it was meant to be. Plus the cold wave has to end someday. If
00:58:04I can reverse
00:58:05the mutated creatures and zombies, society might return to normal. The RV is safe, but I really miss the
00:58:10feeling of running free under the sun. I decided to drive my RV around the world while holing up inside
00:58:15until the
00:58:15apocalypse ends. So over the next five years I circled the globe. Meanwhile my farm cultivated
00:58:20lots of new foods and veggies and my cooking got better. One day I woke up and saw the sun
00:58:24high in
00:58:24the sky. I was thrilled. I couldn't wait to check my phone. The government issued an announcement.
00:58:28Global temperatures are slowly rising. Experts say that the ice and snow will fully melt in about three
00:58:33months. At most six months the temperature will return to a range fit for human life. The apocalypse is
00:58:37finally ending. I stepped out of the RV and ran my hand over it. Thinking back on all I'd been
00:58:42through,
00:58:42thanks to it, I dodged disasters again and again. Given a second life, I actually lived to the end.
00:58:47Half a year after that, life started to recover. Everyone was hustling to rebuild our homes. Along the
00:58:51way I met the one I was meant to be with, and today is the day we take our wedding
00:58:55photos. We nestled
00:58:56together happily in front of the church. Suddenly the photographer lowered the camera and looked up at
00:59:00the sky. The sky had turned blood red. The temperature started spiking in a weird way. Something
00:59:06seemed to be plummeting fast toward us. The sound of wailing came from the distance. My husband
00:59:11reacted first, grabbed my hand and ran for the fallback shelter. The doomsday prices had returned.
00:59:16Ahead lay unknown terror and enemies. Once I got the cash I started refitting my RV right away. I
00:59:21reached out to the best security firm saying I'm a woman planning a solo road trip, but I'm extremely
00:59:25scared of creeps stalking, offering ten times the price to demand them to modify my RV in two days.
00:59:30I had the body of the RV upgraded to the same material used in bank vault, even again knowing that
00:59:34them wouldn't need a scratch. Windows were replaced with bulletproof glass and I added a high voltage
00:59:39capable steel mesh. Once zombies touches it, they get fried on the spot. All the tires are military
00:59:43grade rum slacks plus heavy boot and snow chains. Doors are three layer blast proof with different
00:59:47codes and fingerprints for each layer. The crew were all baffled by such a fuss. Some even suspected I
00:59:52was a fugitive, but I just whipped out boxes of cash and shut them up. Seeing those boxes of cash,
00:59:56they started doing their jobs like crazy. Even the guy who's slacking off jumped right into the refit crew.
01:00:01After it's done, I also installed a set of the most advanced self-circulating water filter and a
01:00:05generator in the RV to solve water and power issues. I also hired retired special forces
01:00:09soldiers to mount high output solar panels and battery banks on the roof. I also put 12 external
01:00:14cameras on the RV so that I can watch every move outside in the RV. But then I ran into
01:00:18a new
01:00:18problem. The RV is too small to stash a ton of supplies, especially fuel. If the RV ever runs out
01:00:23of power, it'll turn into an icebox. I was biting my finger, racking my brain for a fix and absentmindedly
01:00:28bit it till it bled. Suddenly, a voice actually rang out in my head. Congratulations host, the RV system unlocked.
