Apocalypse: System of lotteries

"Big Brother, I didn't expect you to be here." Alan carefully scrubbed Ming's back, being cautious and thorough.

"Are those people from Zone 31?"

"Yes~ I'll take them back later."

"Focus on the task at hand. Leave the shower gel and stuff for me, I can wash myself."

"All of it?" Alan felt a bit uncomfortable, now understanding why Mike said not to show off wealth in front of Ming.

"By the way, ask them if anyone wants a three-star king-level puppet." As Ming spoke, he squeezed a bit of facial cleanser onto his hand and started rubbing it onto his face. "The price is fair and reasonable, as you know me."

"This…" Alan glanced at the motionless giant fish nearby. "Big Brother, didn't you kill it?"

"No, it's just tired~" Ming began to splash water on his face to rinse it.

"But… none of them are puppet masters…" Alan put down the shower gel and whispered, "Mainly because, as a puppet, the fish would be very powerful in water but might not even be able to stand on land... My two giant crabs need to replenish water occasionally… For a fish this big, staying hydrated would be quite difficult…"

"What about the meat?"

"For the meat… unless there's a special need, nobody really wants mutated creature meat…"

"So, what you're saying is…" Ming wiped his face and looked at the giant fish, "It's useless, right?"

"Big Brother, you're right~" Alan nodded seriously.

Ming went ashore and saw the people from Zone 31. He thought to himself, 'Didn't David say that their zone was quite strong? Why are they all just wearing tank tops and boxers?' Then, remembering Alan, Ming immediately understood~ Little pervert~

Ming nodded politely at the people from Zone 31, and Benjamin and the others nodded back in response, greeting each other.

They noticed that Ming was only wearing a pair of briefs, which seemed quite casual.

Who is this guy?

"Go ahead and do your work. I'll get started with mine."

After speaking with Alan, Ming grabbed his lotus sword and leaped onto the head of the giant fish. He began to stab at its brain.

Damn, it~ Can't make money from taking medicine, huh? Nobody wants it as a puppet, huh? Nobody wants to eat the meat, huh? And now you're trying to eat all the fish in my river, huh?

With each stab, a spurt of blood splashed out. Stab after stab after stab…

"…"

Meanwhile, the giant fish writhed in pain in the water, rolling and churning. Blood surged from the inside of its throat and sprayed from its mouth, leaving Ming dumbfounded...

...

Splash! Benjamin and Alan had just finished talking when they saw the giant fish burst out of the water again. This time it was closer, and they saw what looked like a person covered in mud and water plants inside the fish's mouth. Then, the fish sprayed a cloud of blood into the air before plunging back into the water!

"It's over! That guy got bitten!"

"With that much blood sprayed, he must have been crushed to pieces~"

"It's difficult to fight at full strength in the water, especially in close combat~ It's too disadvantageous!"

"…"

Alan felt relieved as he put away the shower gel. Fortunately, his big brother hadn't taken it away. He then returned to Benjamin and the others, saying:

"Sorry for the delay just now. Let's continue. I'm going to start bridging you all now..."

"Alan, who is that guy over there?" Benjamin asked curiously.

"Oh, him? He's my big brother," Alan said with a smile. "His name is Gutman. He asked earlier if you guys needed the fish as a puppet. I told him that fish aren't suitable for land puppets, so now he's preparing to kill it."

"Oh~" Benjamin nodded, understanding that such a helpful big brother was indeed a good person.

"I thought he was Mike just now."

"Yeah, we didn't expect him to be Alan's big brother."

"..."

"Mike?" Alan laughed. "Mike would call him big brother if he saw him."

"..." Benjamin and the others were stunned as they looked at the man standing on top of the mutant fish's head. They saw him pull out a chainsaw and start it up. It buzzed loudly!

"Chainsaw! Chainsaw! It's him! It's him!!!"

"He is... he is... he is the Chainsaw Bro!!"

"Cut the crap, it's Gutman!"

"Gutman!!"

The Gutman of Zone 109, is known for his chainsaw! Benjamin and the others widened their eyes, staring intently at Gutman as he held the chainsaw, slicing open the mutant fish's head and continuing to cut inward. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere!

At this point, they understood the meaning of the ruthless people in Zone 109.

This guy was indeed ruthless!

"Alright, stop staring. We'll all be on the same side from now on, and you'll have plenty of chances to see him in action. Let's hurry up and get going."

Alan called out to the group of dumbfounded people. What was so fascinating? Seriously, it's just my beloved big brother. You guys are so inexperienced.

A moment later, Alan finished bridging Benjamin and the others, activated the teleportation scroll, and a white light descended. They all vanished from the spot...

Ming continued cutting the fish meat, and he realized he seemed to have forgotten something.

That's right - he forgot to ask the others for help in cutting the fish meat. He was so focused on killing the useless fish earlier that he forgot about the main task. Indeed, hatred could blind a person.

Ming picked up the chainsaw and continued cutting, determined to take revenge quickly and reclaim his fishing rod.

A few minutes later, he finally found the fishing rod in the fish's intestines. Fortunately, it was still intact.

He continued cutting the big fish, considering all the meat would be food for the earthworms, crabs, and his pets. Mutant creatures eating other mutant creatures had a lower chance of genetic mutation, so they could eat without worry.

He hoped everything would be fine and that they wouldn't grow fish gills.

[Your froglets crouched on the ground, looking at the massive fish in amazement.]

[Foodie was overjoyed, no longer having to worry about sharing its food with Little Bear. It wanted to tell Ming that it was hungry and to eat grilled snake since it had caught a few more.]

Under the starry night sky, Ming and his pets sat by the campfire, eating grilled snake meat while looking at the half-cut giant fish. He truly regretted not asking the others to help cut the fish.

Suddenly, several beams of white light descended, and a group of women holding hands emerged from the light.

"..."

They saw a man covered in blood, wearing only his underwear, sitting by the campfire. The firelight illuminated his handsome and fierce face.

[Your froglets lay on the ground, looking at the suddenly appearing women, thinking you should do something. Your Da Vinci thought this was a gift from heaven - a dark, windy night in the wild was the perfect setting for romance.]

[Foodie continued eating snake meat, unable to stop. It saw a woman blushing as she stared at it. Foodie swallowed the snake meat... "Hey beautiful, want to talk about love...?"]

[Your Da Vinci slapped Foodie, reminding it of their different races. Foodie looked at Da Vinci... "I meant for them to talk about love with Ming..."]

[Your froglets looked at you,  urging you to take the initiative.]

"..."

Ming glanced at the women [Weakness: Heh~ Not one of them could escape from your grasp.]

"..."

In unison, the women drew their weapons, eyeing Ming warily.

Ming glanced at the half-cut fish in the distance, feeling overjoyed. Good things really do happen to good people - his wish came true. He pushed the chainsaw beside him to the side, looked up, and grinned. "Don't be afraid, I'm a good man~ Heh~"
