Chapter 15: Love in Doomsday, The Terrifying Entity!

『Day 19: Having taken the post, you did its work; you attended the Safe Zone leadership meeting and, relying on your Talent, eavesdropped on the thoughts of every core member, secretly drafting a detailed plan…』

『Day 20: You quietly eliminated the hidden threats within the team.』

『Day 21: Your prestige rose again inside the Safe Zone; the leader you supported was highly skilled at management, and all of the Safe Zone’s resources were put to use.』

『Day 22: You opened up a supply line; barring accidents, food would not be a concern for the next month.』

『Day 23: A newly promoted Awakener asked why you could wield lightning-based Strength; you perfunctorily replied.』

『Day 24: …』

I had actually become involved in building order inside the Safe Zone…

That was a bit unexpected.

Su Ze knew his own temperament very well.

To be honest, he preferred the feeling of being a Sweeping Monk.

The rivers and lakes outside roiled with combat and heroes, yet no one knew that high up in the library pavilion a peerless master was watching the martial world with a smile.

And once that peerless master made a move, the entire world would quake…

Cough.

Although this was not a wuxia tale but a post-apocalyptic one…

In essence, it was not all that different.

However, Su Ze could understand why things had reached this point.

After all, his strength let him instantly kill an ordinary Awakener with ease.

Power like that naturally drew attention.

Since he could not hide his edge, he might as well go with the flow…

Worth mentioning.

The current simulation seemed to prove once again.

A blue-grade combat Talent was already enough for him to roam freely in doomsday.

He might not be able to suppress the monsters in a Contaminated Zone.

But when it came to the small number of Awakeners, he could most likely slay them effortlessly…

『Day 26: You stayed in the Safe Zone and helped the leader gather information about the outside world; you learned little, only that every Safe Zone had begun to take shape.』

『Day 27: Your Father God Listens Talent came into play; you heard news that someone else tried to destroy a pollution source and died the moment they tried.』

『Day 28: Women cast amorous glances at you every day, which made Chen Keqing very nervous; she decided to draw confession manga to distract herself.』

『Day 29: Because her drawing Talent was lacking, Chen Keqing announced the end of her brief painter career; you looked at her work and thought it was decent, and her comics even inspired you…』

『Day 30: …』

『Day 31: The number of Awakeners kept growing, and the method to become an Awakener was gradually made public.』

『Day 32: You sensed that some Awakeners were harboring disloyal thoughts; you wanted to eliminate them but currently lacked a reason to act.』

『Day 33: You set a trap and removed some of the disloyal Awakeners.』

『Day 34: It snowed; you played a snowball fight with Chen Keqing on the rooftop, and she told you that if you wanted another woman it was acceptable, but the newcomer had to be the senior young mistress.』

『Day 35: When your side’s Awakeners went out to search for supplies, they were ambushed by other Awakeners and suffered heavy losses; you started an investigation.』

『Day 36: Bored…』

『Day 37: …』

『Day 38: On Chen Keqing’s birthday she built a fire and cooked a pot of hot food; you sincerely praised her culinary skills…』

『Day 39: …』

Mm…

It felt like falling in love during doomsday.

Chen Keqing’s name appeared far more frequently in the simulation.

But that was understandable.

After all, the simulation showed that this time he had not even considered becoming an Awakener.

Perhaps the sweet haven Chen Keqing created for him was simply too tempting.

So he was reluctant to risk his life trying to become an Awakener…

Aside from Chen Keqing’s frequent appearances.

The key events inside the Safe Zone were not overlooked either.

In addition, some intel was reconfirmed, such as the absolute rule that a pollution source must never be destroyed…

『Day 40: Your Father God Listens Talent activated, and you learned that an Awakener shattered a pollution source and died a gruesome death.』

『Day 41: You identified the attacker from the previous ambush; the others wanted you to act and you agreed… You could not stop worrying about Chen Keqing, yet you could not take her into the Contaminated Zone because it was dangerous.』

『Day 42: You spent 2 hours telling Chen Keqing all the intel you knew, hoping to stress how dangerous the Contaminated Zone was, but she insisted on acting with you; you heard her resolve and took her along… You successfully killed the target.』

『Day 43: You carefully used the Fallen Benefaction Talent and stayed awake the whole night guarding Chen Keqing, afraid she might die in her nightmare…』

『Day 44: Chen Keqing thought you should take the initiative and wanted to risk becoming an Awakener; after thinking it over you agreed and immediately acted, helping her touch a pollution source.』

『Day 45: You had a nightmare and, upon waking, your healing energy decreased by 1.』

『Day 46: Chen Keqing had a nightmare; you guarded her the whole time, and she succeeded in one go… She used the Starry Sky spell and became an Awakener.』

『Day 47: …』

『Day 48: You heard that the authorities were still attempting rescue even though the situation remained dire; your Father God Listens Talent came into play… You received new intel that an Awakener had encountered an extremely horrifying creature, which made you think of one term… containment object.』

『Day 49: No longer needing to worry constantly about Chen Keqing’s safety, you led a team into the Contaminated Zone to investigate.』

『Day 50: You continued investigating and entered a strange room during the search; you lost your way inside and met a bizarre creature, and in the battle you thought again of that term… containment object. After exhausting all your healing energy, you died…』

『Simulation Assessment: Lived brilliantly, died casually.』

『You may choose one of the following 3 simulation rewards:』

『1. Lightning Superhuman (blue)』

『2. Food Baron (blue)』

『3. Deer Hunter (white)』

The ending felt a bit too abrupt…

Even Su Ze was caught off guard.

Given how smoothly everything had gone, he had thought he would live a long time in this simulation.

Unexpectedly, joy turned to sorrow.

He had just begun exploring the Contaminated Zone, yet he already ran into something this bizarre.

While walking he suddenly entered a strange room and inexplicably encountered a powerful enemy.

Most importantly…

‘Containment object? No way…’

Su Ze could not help scratching his head.

If the self in the simulation had encountered the fictional monsters he knew in his previous life, then dying was not exactly unjust.

After all, the threat those beings posed to life was nothing zombies or the like could compare to.

‘I can’t draw conclusions yet, but judging from the intel heard through my Talent… there must indeed be some truly terrifying monsters lurking in doomsday.’

While thinking, Su Ze could not help recalling the lethal fog he had experienced in yesterday’s simulation…
