World version update

Chapter 16: Doomsday Version (Thanks to Zi Che Chen Ju for being the leader)

Mystery, weird stories, and the end of the world, these are the three versions Lu Yan can choose this time.

When seeing the three versions of information, Lu Yan frowned instinctively. None of these three versions was easy to deal with.

Needless to say, the mysterious version is a high-risk version involving the true God and the Old Ones. According to the information, even supernatural powers are extremely dangerous in the mysterious version.

Such a dangerous version was obviously not suitable for exploration by Lu Yan, who had just entered the Qi training stage.

Strictly speaking, the ghost story version should be a rule-based ghost story game.

In the face of the rules of the ghost story game, there is almost no difference between low-level practitioners and ordinary people. Unless there are means to pry open the rules, the ghost story game is definitely not a good choice.

As for the doomsday version, it already appeared in the last version update.

However, among the three options last time, the apocalyptic version was the dangerous one.

But among the options this time, the doomsday version is actually the safest one.

At first glance, the post-apocalypse seems very dangerous, but whether it is a nuclear apocalypse or a zombie apocalypse, the danger is at least traceable.

Without much time to think, Lu Yan made a decisive choice.

"Update, apocalypse version!"

The next moment, the world outside the window began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Brand new and prosperous buildings have been replaced by dilapidated high-rise buildings, and dim traces remain on the buildings, as if they were eroded by time.

Large areas of low-rise houses have long been reduced to ruins, and the city's roads are littered with car wreckage. Looking around, it seems like a city that has long been dead.

Lu Yan looked at the house he was in. The furniture in the room was in a mess. Many wooden furniture had even been dismantled and used for burning. There was garbage everywhere on the floor.

“Is this the world after the apocalypse?”

Lu Yan looked at everything curiously.

The city seemed to have been abandoned for decades, with no signs of life.

After exploring the room for a while, Lu Yan found that almost all valuable things in the room had been looted, and there was no food left.

The running water and electricity had been cut off for who knows how many years. Only a desk calendar was found on an abandoned desk, with the time on it frozen at 2012.

But after this exploration, there is some good news.

Lu Yan could sense that the concentration of spiritual energy in the doomsday version was at least ten times higher than that in the urban version.

Since he did not practice in the fairy-xia version, Lu Yan was not sure what the concentration of spiritual energy was in the fairy-xia version, but it was obvious that the concentration of spiritual energy in the doomsday version was enough to support Lu Yan's practice.

Even if it meant three months of hard training in the apocalyptic version, it was still the first quite cost-effective deal for Lu Yan.

“The most lacking thing in the apocalypse version is probably supplies.

Fortunately, in order to cope with the version update, I prepared three months of food and daily necessities in advance, which came in handy this time.

But this room is uninhabitable. We should find a more suitable room to stay in temporarily, and then explore the crisis of the apocalypse version. " Lu Yan took out several talismans from the storage bag with his right hand, clasped them in his palm, and then walked out of the room.

This was an old building. Lu Yan was on the seventh floor. The corridor was full of garbage and dried blood. There were even a few corpses piled up in some rooms, but after who knows how much time had passed, they had already turned into white bones.

Lu Yan had anticipated this and began looking for a suitable house to live in, but most of the houses had been destroyed and some even had large amounts of feces piled up inside.

Apparently, since the water supply had been cut off and normal toilets could not be flushed, these houses were used as public toilets by the survivors.

It was not until he was almost on the top floor that Lu Yan discovered a house with its door closed.

After taking a look at the old anti-theft door lock, Lu Yan flicked his fingers and gathered his magic power to destroy the lock core that had long been rusted and decayed, and pushed open the door.

The room was also in a mess, with large patches of dried blood on the ground, but compared to those houses that had been destroyed beyond recognition, this place was obviously much cleaner.

However, Lu Yan did not take it lightly, but observed his surroundings vigilantly.

All the other houses were completely destroyed, but this one was still intact. No one would believe that there was nothing wrong with it.

Just as Lu Yan approached the bedroom, a fishy wind accompanied by a hoarse roar suddenly blew, and what appeared in front of Lu Yan was a zombie whose body had already rotted.

Lu Yan, who was well prepared, had a talisman flashing in his hand. An ice cone instantly condensed in the void and pierced the zombie in front of him. The spreading ice froze it instantly.

However, the danger was far from over. The roar of the zombies seemed to have turned on a switch, and more zombies rushed out of the room. There were more than ten zombies in the small bedroom.

Lu Yan immediately realized that it must be the former survivors who deliberately lured the zombies in and then locked the door to trap the zombies.

Their flesh and blood had long since rotted away, and many of the zombies' vocal cords had even rotted away, making them unable to even make a roar.

Yet, even these rotten zombies still displayed flexibility far beyond that of ordinary humans.

Lu Yan's expression became serious. These zombies were not a big threat to him. He could easily kill them by using the talisman.

But Lu Yan has a limited number of talismans in his hand. He has spent so many talismans just for the initial exploration. What if he encounters stronger zombies in the future?

With a hand gesture, a soul flag fell into Lu Yan's hand in an instant. With a wave of the soul flag, four resentful souls comparable to the first level of Qi training flew out of the soul flag and pounced on more than ten zombies.

The eerie ghost energy condensed into frost to slow down the zombies, while the ghost claws directly pierced into the zombies' half-rotten bodies.

As the ghost claw withdrew, an illusory soul appeared in the hand of the resentful spirit. The zombie's rotten body fell to the ground as if it had lost its support. The flesh and blood rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a pile of bones in an instant.

Lu Yan was startled for a moment, then said with surprise:
"These zombies actually still have souls?"

"No! It should be said that it is precisely because of the souls that these corpses that should have decayed long ago have been able to survive until now."

Most of the methods used by the resentful spirits at the first level of Qi training can only target the soul, and Lu Yan originally thought that they would be of little use against zombies.

But who would have thought that these corpses that looked almost rotten actually had souls left, and their souls were even much stronger than those of normal people. The resentful souls faced a dozen zombies with weak souls and it was a completely one-sided massacre.

Every time the ghost claw flashes, it can easily separate the soul attached to the body, while the zombies' attacks do not cause any harm to the resentful soul.

In just one minute, all the zombies turned into bones, and only fifteen illusory wandering souls remained in the room.
