Apocalypse: System of lotteries



After several selections, Ming finally arrived at his own aquatic company, the lake.

With the acid rain coming at night, he needed to take away some fish as soon as possible. He didn't know how long the acid rain would last. If it was like the previous times, then there would be very few fish left in the lake. The only thing he could do was to catch as many as he could and start breeding in the future.

Wendy could produce fish, but it required the consumption of spiritual energy, which might also have a day of exhaustion. He needed to be prepared to avoid future troubles.

After a while, Ming went ashore. In front of him were several boxes of fish he had caught. This was entirely due to his underwater breath-holding ability. Being able to hold his breath for 20 minutes, combined with his own night vision and extreme speed, even though he encountered great resistance in the water, catching fish was still relatively easy.

Preparing to go home, Ming looked up at the flashing sky, knowing that it was not far from raining.

At this moment, orange-red firelight appeared in the sky not far away.

"Is the forest on fire?"

Ming put on a dry white gown and quickly moved toward the direction of the firelight. After passing through a forest, he could hear people shouting, and it wasn't just one person, it sounded like a group of people. He continued forward, and finally, the scene in front of him became clear.

A group of people with white pointed hats on their heads, white cloths on their faces only revealing their eyes, and white cloaks on their bodies, stood neatly, watching the towering platform built with huge stones in front of them. On the platform, a bonfire was burning fiercely, and in the flames, a struggling and twisted figure stood.

The crowd under the platform seemed extremely excited, shouting:

"Power of the flames!"

"Power of the flames!"

"Is this... a sacrifice?"

The following events broke his guess. He saw the man in the flames stopped wailing, but instead, he straightened his chest and raised his head, shouting "Power of the flames!"

Immediately afterward, the man's body kept enlarging until it reached almost 3 meters high. His body ignited more intense flames, or rather, the flames constituted this man, whose body was a dazzling golden orange.

Then, the man stepped out of the bonfire. His body lines were extremely clear. He looked at the crowd under the giant stone and made a deep sound, "My servants, I will eventually lead you to burn the flame to every corner of this world! Power of the flames!!"

"Power of the flames!"

"Power of the flames!"

"..."

The crowd under the platform shouted in unison, their voices filled with excitement.

"~"

Ming used his eagle eye to examine:

[Weakness: Drown him~]

"~"

Is it that simple?

Plop~

At this moment, a raindrop fell on the back of his hand. He looked up at the sky. It's about to rain, and without any warning, the rain poured down, as if the god had tipped over a bathtub~

Ming sat in a black off-road vehicle, watching the members of 'Firepower!!' in the rain... in disarray.

Before the rain fell, he had summoned a bomb car. At this moment, in the rain curtain, only fireman Loris was still standing tall on the high platform built of huge stones. His whole body was aflame, turning golden and stubborn~

"~"

Through the car window with the wipers sweeping away the rain, Ming intermittently saw that when the rainwater got a certain distance close to Loris, it was vaporized and dissipated. At this point, he had to doubt the practicality of the weakness mentioned in the weakness description.

A moment later, all the members of 'Firepower!!' had left.

Ming also clicked to teleport, drove back to 109, parked the car at the foot of the mountain, and felt a bit strange about what had just happened. But at present, it had nothing to do with him, so he could only note it down and keep an impression.

Walking on the small uphill road full of spider webs, he had to say that the density of the spider webs above the path was much higher than the surroundings, and the rainwater could not penetrate for a while.

[Your Merlin is squatting on the top of the mountain, watching you come back. It points to the spider web on the small road above, like a corridor, telling you that this is what it controlled the spiders to do today. It provides shade on sunny days and shelter on rainy days~]

[Merlin glanced at the spider lying next to it, telling you not to worry. It's okay to eat a few big bees later, and maybe it can spin silk by tomorrow~]

"~"

Ming looked at the spider with eight legs on the ground and a deflated stomach and shook his head. This guy really doesn't take care of his own body, with no restraint.

Noticing that the animals at home have already been fed, he took a shower and lay down on the bed. He thought about the 'Firepower!!' group he encountered today, wondering if they were a faction or a force they had created themselves. He realized that there were more things to pay attention to in the future.

After thinking about other things, he took out the 'Incomplete Notebook' and continued to check:

Page 59:

<Today I was quite lucky. After being knocked down by a speeding car, I only got some skin abrasions. A bit of iodine should do the trick. It's a good thing, it won't hinder my job delivering food. After this incident, I've decided that after delivering for this month, I will continue to look for a job in my own field.>

Page 62:

<Today, I installed a digital thermometer on little A. There might be a problem with the code as it keeps reporting the temperature. It seems I have to find out where the bug is.>

Page 68:

<This morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I grabbed an order. When I went downstairs, I found that the battery of my electric bike had been stolen... I got a bad review. I called the police and they told me to wait for news, without giving a specific time.

I can't wait. I replaced the battery. The plans to upgrade my computer and little A's body will have to be postponed until next month.>

<...>

ZZZZZZ~~~~

Early the next morning, Ming brought several fresh fish to Mike's new house to congratulate him on moving in. After eating, he took the frogs out.

He had almost finished his tasks at hand, and today he planned to let the frogs take a tour of the fog in the 109th district to compare it with the fog in the 1521st district.

Upon reaching the edge of the fog, he petted the frogs, stuffed them with fish, and gave them a kiss on the head.

[Your frogs enter the fog and see the city ruins in front of them. Merlin is preparing to find some poison to replenish himself. It's been quite some days since she's enhanced the family's poison resistance. They must miss it so much now~]

[Your frogs see a gray shadow not far from them. Foodie quickly rushes over and bites the gray shadow in its mouth. Look, it's a little rat... The rat struggles. I'm Little Grey... Foodie spits out the rat, disgusted. No wonder it smells like garbage~]

[Your Da Vinci looks at Little Grey, "It's been a while, you've lost weight. Let me introduce you to Merlin..." Merlin looks at Little Grey, "I heard your wife is a white mouse..." Little Grey nods, "She's my ex-wife now."]

[Your Da Vinci and Foodie comfort Little Grey at the same time, "Don't worry, Ming isn't doing as well as you."]

"~"

How did he fall to the point of being compared to a mouse?

At this moment, a woman appears in front of him. 

It's Eve.
