Apocalypse: System of lotteries



The temperature plummeted as night fell, and a group huddled in a sandy pit amidst the ruins, passing around a cigarette. Someone asked, "Do you think that lion-bodied creature was a real god?"

"Who cares~"

A man named Clark took a heavy drag of the cigarette before passing it unwillingly to the person next to him, "Whether it's a god or a monster, it's none of our concern now. The ones in trouble are those two."

The short-haired man who took the cigarette wiped the drool off the cigarette butt with his sleeve before taking a drag, smacking his lips, he said, "If it weren't for them today, our fate wouldn't be any better. I really hope they'll be okay and help us fend off the monsters here, haha~"

"Haha~ Clark, I almost believed you became a good person, but the last sentence suits your sneaky character~ hey~"

Clark snatched the cigarette from another person's hand, "We're only safe if they're in trouble. Let those monsters go after them. But, indeed, we should pray they live a little longer, preferably through these godforsaken two days."

"Yeah~"

"We don't have much supplies left."

"You idiot, have you forgotten that we're scavengers?"

Clark finished the last bit of the cigarette before flicking the butt away, then he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, "Don't worry, when the night gets deep, we'll take out a few stragglers. Why worry about supplies?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, stirring up the sand and covering the people in the ruins with a thick layer of dirt.

"Fuck, I hate the desert, this goddamn desert."

Clark was patting the sand off his body. When he looked up, his eyes went blank. There was a towering figure standing in front of him.

The black-skinned figure was clad in golden armor and jewels, with a wolf's head. Behind it was a golden... divine light that seemed to waft like a mirage.

The pair of eyes shining with golden light sent chills down one's spine.

"!!!"

At this moment, Clark was frozen stiff, golden eyes!

He had never seen eyes of this color before! Grey, green, blue, purple... orange... gold!!

Could it be... a god?

"You!"

The black wolf in the golden armor raised his scepter and pointed it at Clark's forehead, which was frozen in shock. The figure spoke, its voice deep and resonating, "What did you just say?"

Buzz!!

Clark's mind buzzed, this voice went straight to his brain, the reverberation felt like a thunderclap, and his eyes were filled with terror. His lips trembled and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

His companions were even more terrified. The golden eyes, it must be a god! Definitely a god!

Then, someone fell on their face, trembling. They opened their mouth but couldn't utter a word. The pressure was so great that they couldn't breathe. Their spirits wilted as if their bodies could no longer support their heads.

"Blasphemers, die!"

With a rattle, the black wolf in golden armor shook his scepter, and the sand under his feet converged to form a sand spike.

Thud~

A muffled sound followed. The sand spike had pierced through Clark's forehead. He fell back in despair. The sand spike that was embedded in his head dissipated instantly and turned back into yellow sand.

"!!!"

Seeing this scene, the people instinctively wanted to retreat, but for some reason, their bodies could not respond to their brains.

"Do you want to live?"

The black wolf in the golden armor turned its head slightly and looked at the terrified people.

"Want, want, want!!"

"..."

"Eh~"

The black wolf in golden armor turned to look at dozens of expressionless survivors behind him, "Like them, become my servants."

It raised its scepter again and pointed at the temple in the distance: "You go and kill the people inside, dig out their hearts, and offer them to me, to show your loyalty to me, understand?"

...

Inside the temple.

Ming distributed white coats to the new employees of the company. The corporate culture had to be established by the boss, so, it starts with the unified work clothes.

Lavia, the business general manager, was showing off his water control ability in front of the new employees. A blob of water in front of him sometimes condensed into a water ball and sometimes turned into a water line. The new employees were all clapping and exclaiming in amazement.

In fact, Ming understood that the main reason for the newcomers to join was out of desperation. However, he was confident that he could turn these people into good employees of the company.

At this moment, Ming was sitting back on the sofa, thinking about the sphinx.

God...

A product of the rule set. From communicating with it, one can find that its speech is preset. After all, it only has a few sentences to repeat.

The fourth chapter...faith...

He rubbed his temples, thinking... If the fourth chapter is a resurgence of gods, more god-like monsters will appear. Just like the creature in the mist of Sector 109 which generates thunder and lightning, its image looks very much like Thor. However, when he observed it with eagle-eye, its information was still the same as usual:

[Raging*Powerful Electrician Roca]

It's not like the Sphinx, which has a number and a faction. However, its abilities are all related to lightning... and the introduction of the talent skills is very...

Ming immediately thought of a concept. That is... among those creatures in the mist, some may be experimental products of god-creation by the rules, or... defective products. And the real finished products are all in the fourth chapter!

Once this idea came up, he was energized. The monsters in the mist need to be killed more in the future. It's also a practice. 

Sniff sniff~

At this point, he smelled the human scent. Apart from himself and the new subordinate employees, there were many other human scents.

"Business is coming?"

Ming interrupted Lavia who was performing, gave him a look, and the latter nodded, stood at the entrance of the tent, and looked out, saying, "Bro, those guys who left, they f*cking came back, as expected, just as I predicted."

Lavia laughed, his own adulterated salt water really worked. In a while, dozens of people stood outside the tent. Among them, a short-haired man said to Lavia, "Hello, we still need some water. May I ask, is it convenient for you now?"

"Wait a moment."

Lavia turned back to look at his boss.

Ming glanced at these people and found that these guys were a little... different from daytime, they all looked listless, but it didn't seem to be caused by hunger and thirst.

After inspecting them with the eagle eye, he said with a smile, "Don't stand outside, come in."

"My boss has spoken, come on in!"

Lavia made his way and watched as one after another entered the tent. There were a total of 59 people. The tent was big enough and did not appear crowded.

Everyone dispersed and sat down. Ming whispered something into Lavia's ear, then the two closed the tent door, turned around, and said, "Judging by your appearances, you all seem to be both hungry and thirsty? Although we two brothers are businessmen, we won't take advantage of this situation to rip you off, you can eat and drink freely, don't worry."

"Thank you!"

"Much appreciated!"

"..."

Ming and Lavia looked at each other and continued to sit in their own places, enjoying their food.

A woman was drinking water, looking at the generous man, blinking at him constantly, and her gaze shifted around as if she was conveying a signal to him.

"~"

Ming gave her a smile and nodded slightly.

Suddenly!

[The tent effect is triggered, and silence is successful.]

[...]

[The tent effect is triggered, and silence is successful.]

"..."

Ming and Lavia, who were sitting on the sofa, stared at the group who were holding weapons and looked astonished. The newly joined Goodman Group employees were also standing behind the boss and the general manager with their weapons.

"Raoul, Frank, Lopene!"

Ming beckoned, and the two puppets appeared on the left and right. He pointed to the woman, "Apart from her and our own people, follow the old rules. Lopene, do your own thing."

[The puppets Raoul and Frank scanned the crowd... Did you guys steal steel pipes?]

[The puppets Raoul and Frank glared, charged... Death to the steel pipe thieves!]

[…]

"…"

Can't you guys think about something else?

Huff!

In the next instant, the two puppets plunged into the crowd. Raoul spread his wings and barged around, while Frank roared and turned into a werewolf, swinging left and right. Lavia followed them with the newcomers to finish the job.

Ming got up and walked towards the woman with a small yellow flower on her head. "What's your name?"

The woman weakly replied, "Kelly."

"That's beautiful~"

Ming stared at the flower on her head.

"Thank you, but I'm not that pretty~"

Kelly looked up at the man in front of her. "You need to be careful, there's another deity outside, the desert god, Seth!"

"Hmm~"

Ming smiled, he was already prepared in his heart. Golden Eyes, is just an epic level, with a bit of effort, it could still be killed.

At this moment, Lavia called out, "Boss, do we want to turn these guys into zombies or?"

[Puppet Lopene tells you, these guys are all poor, just kill them...]

[…]

"Just kill them!"

Ming waved his hand and then said, "Prepare to welcome guests."

Lavia smiled, "Alright!!"
