QT: Against My Will (Volume 1)

3.05 - World story - Downfall of Humanity

The HQ wasn't too concerned about Bing Shi's request. Even though she wanted a few items from a highly protected dimension and a size-changing system, the cost was negligible compared to the savings the HQ had made by not investing in upgrading her dimensional storage or letting her improve her skills in the dojo.

Moreover, they recognized that granting her request could promote her mental stability in the long run. Thus, they were willing to accommodate her and make the necessary changes. They even saw it as a wise investment on their part, as they believed Bing Shi was the one who had made a loss.

Kuro's ability to change into various animals was much better in their eyes, and they were curious why she would give up on that.

They didn't know that Bing Shi didn't give up anything.

'Make a connection with the HQ. ✓'

'Try to demand things from them, but nothing overbearing. Take a loss to lower their guard. ✓'

'It seems like HQ is not that smart, they could ask if I wanted to download the content from my phone and hard disk to save EP. Maybe they were lying, but I don't think so because...'

'They gave me a gigantic snake?! ✓'

'Ask if I can appear in worlds in my current body. X'

'Ask about Xuan Mu. X'

["Kuro change into a regular-sized snake, about 3 meters would do."]

Kuro complied with Bing Shi's request and shrank down to a regular-sized snake about 3 meters long. Her smile widened at the sight of Kuro's new form.

["Excellent, we can start the next mission."]

World name: Farming in the Apocalypse?!

Rank: A (15 000p)

═══════⊱༻❈༺⊰═══════

Before an apocalypse could manifest, a radioactive meteorite passed the planet by a close margin without any announcement. A vast quantity of its dust-sized debris passed through the atmosphere, creating an ominous sight in the form of red rain. Animals feeling the danger tried to hide. Humans on the other side... Sigh...

They continued on living.

The red rain was collected and taken to laboratories for analysis, but no one could have predicted that five percent of the population who had inhaled the debris would become carriers of a deadly virus. The virus spread rapidly across the world with just a simple touch.

It was here and there. On door handles, in public places, at school... Everywhere.

It took only a year for the virus to transform its carriers into human-eating monsters. The first zombie appeared and attacked the nearest, most flavorful "steak" it could find: a human brain.

Like a chain, another zombie arose to live.

Or death?

Bing Shi had no idea.

Anyway.

The important part.

Those who managed to survive the initial onslaught of the zombie outbreak were left with a small glimmer of hope. They were still human but with a twist. Through an agonizing trial, there was a chance to acquire superpowers, a rare opportunity in a world overrun by the undead. However, failing the trial meant certain death.

["System, I don't know if I can handle the pain of the trial. I'm not exactly great with pain." 囧]

[How unfortunate, lol.]
