[The Ark has temporarily stopped moving. ]

[Friendly reminder: the outdoor temperature is dropping rapidly. It is recommended that all players add clothes. Before the final victory, try to survive and avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible.]

The ark traveled northward on this vast, barren, and dilapidated land for a day and a night before stopping.

At this time, the outside environment was already cold and windy.

The moment the Ark stopped, a cold system notification sounded over the heads of all the players at the same time.

The players wrapped up their few supplies and clothes and walked to the deck of the ark in twos and threes. The land that was originally black and red was now covered in white.

The system’s notification sounded again among the crowd.

[The game summary begins below.]

[[Doomsday Ark] copy, the number of players is 200, and the current number of remaining players is 103.]

[The announcement of the player’s abilities will be made below: 4 players with S-level abilities, 20 players with A-level abilities, 35 players with B-level abilities, 25 players with C-level abilities, 9 players with D-level abilities, and 9 players with E-level abilities and below. No abilities: None.]

[Conditions for passing the game: successfully find the antigen, produce antibodies and antidotes.]

[Pass time limit: None.]

[Game end condition: the game is passed or all players die.]

Just when all the players thought that the system’s prompt was over, the system started its personal solo again.

[Ding! Dear players, please listen to the new mission.]

[Because the zombie king has found the zombie queen, the zombie king will start to create a new type of high-intelligence zombie offspring in three days and establish a zombie kingdom. Once the new type of zombies and the zombie kingdom are established, no one in the world will be able to resist the attack of the zombie army. Blue Star will be completely flattened.]

[An urgent task is issued below.]

[Please stop the zombie king’s plan to establish a zombie kingdom.]

[Friendly reminder: there are several ways to stop it, for reference:
1. Kill the zombie king (the root cause is solved, but the danger factor of the zombie king is 3S level, and the difficulty factor is five stars), the location of the zombie king is shown on the map.]

2. Kill the zombie queen (risk factor S level, high feasibility, difficulty factor three stars), the location of the zombie queen is shown on the map.]

3. Find the antigen and produce antibodies and antidotes within three days (the search conditions are not clear, the time is not enough, and the difficulty factor is four stars), the position of the antigen is located as shown on the map.]

4. Wait for death (difficulty factor zero stars).]

[There is no time limit for this task, but once the offspring of zombies are born, all humans including the players will be extinct, so there is no time limit.]

[Ding! This concludes the system explanation. I wish all players a happy game and cherish the last happy time.]

[Looking forward to meeting you next time, goodbye.]

As the last sentence of the system fell, the colors on the faces of the players were almost the same as the color of the snow outside.

Bai Lixin was wearing a thick down jacket and standing on the deck with Xia Chi and the others. A familiar armored vehicle sped over in the distance.

The surrounding temperature had dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius, and the sky gradually began to crystallize into snowflakes.

There was heavy snow all over the sky, and the armored vehicle was extremely fast, rushing over like a bullet, leaving a long trail behind where it passed.

It was Song Yuantian and Zhou Guang!

“Bai Lixin!”

A voice suddenly sounded from behind, instantly attracting Bai Lixin’s attention. When he turned his head, he saw the talented young ability user Naia rushing all the way, leaning close to the two of them, and lowering his voice: “The photo has been restored.”

He stared at Bai Lixin’s slightly blushed cheeks from the cold and shyly said, “It was supposed to come out yesterday, but the ark suddenly moved, all the machines stopped, and the restoration work was also forced to stop. The results have just come out.”

He casually glanced at the snow and suddenly his eyes lit up, “The captain and the others are back?!”

“What a coincidence?”

Xia Chi: “Yes, it should have taken six or seven days to return.”

“As a result, the ark moved north, which just shortened the distance from them, and the time for their return was also brought forward.”

Naia let out an “mmm”: “The speed of the ark’s movement is fast. It is about twice the size of the armored vehicle.”

Bai Lixin: “So, we are already very close to the glacier.”

Naia carefully identified the surrounding environment, and after more than ten seconds, he nodded hesitantly, “It should be. To be honest, I have only been here once, and the surrounding area is completely white, making it quite difficult to identify the position and direction.”

He looked at Bai Lixin with a blushing face: “Then we shall see the photo together. Het? I don’t know why, but you seem to be very good-looking today.”

Bai Lixin was wearing a fluffy red down jacket, and white fur wrapped around his neck and chin. His face, which was originally exquisite was now soft, looking clear and tender.

Especially those eyes, which were as bright as stars, they were so mysterious that they seemed to be able to captivate people.

Bai Lixin glanced at Li Cancan, who was rushing towards them, nodded, and said, “Okay, we’ll talk about it later when they come back.”

Li Cancan looked serious, and when he arrived. She looked at Naia, then at Bai Lixin, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Bai Lixin: “It’s okay, just say it.”

Li Cancan then asked, “A few leaders among the players are gathering everyone to discuss the next course of action. They asked me to come and inquire, should we go there?”

Bai Lixin scanned the deck and noticed that the players who were previously scattered had now gathered in one place with peculiar expressions. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and replied, “Yes, let’s go. It concerns all the players and the fate of humanity on this planet. We should listen to the outcome of the discussion.”

Naia took a couple of steps back and said cautiously, “Although I don’t understand the matter, since it involves your group, I won’t interfere. I’ll wait here for the boss and the others, and then I’ll take them to a safe and secret meeting place.”

Bai Lixin expressed gratitude, and led by Li Cancan, he and Xia Chi strode toward the gathering point of the players.

While Bai Lixin had formed an alliance with Song Yuantian earlier, they had been operating with a team of almost ten people. However, other players had also formed multiple alliances to facilitate their tasks.

Over the course of a few days, the surviving players gradually gathered from small groups to a larger assembly.

The leaders, consisting of a few male players, discovered a hidden alley where they stood on a higher wall, observing the players as they arrived.

When the remaining players had gathered in groups, the eldest middle-aged sturdy man among the leaders spoke up.

“Did everyone hear the system’s announcement?”

A commotion stirred among the crowd, and they exchanged bewildered looks before collectively responding, “Yes.”

The middle-aged sturdy man continued, “We have four options ahead of us. Of course, the fourth option is to wait for death, but we haven’t reached that point yet. The only viable choices we have are the first three.”

“There’s no time for formalities; it’s evident that there’s no real competition in this copy. Our priority should be unity. Only by uniting can we secure our frontline advantage.”

“I don’t believe any of you want to wait for death, do you? We all have unfinished matters in reality and desire to return alive, correct?” The crowd gradually quieted down as the players assessed the situation and calmed themselves.

Someone from the crowd inquired, “I want to go back, but what should we do now?”

The middle-aged sturdy man responded, “First, let me ask a question. Earlier, the system evaluated our power levels. I want to know who the four players with S-level powers are. Let me begin by sharing mine. I possess an A-level ability, the power of wind. If anyone here has an A-level or S-level ability, please raise your hand and inform us, so we can assess the abilities and strengths of our players.”

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the players looked at each other before a hesitant hand rose and said, “I have an A-level ability, control over water.”

Another player followed, “I also have an A-level ability, physical enhancement.”

“I have an A-level ability, sonic attack.”

One after another, players began raising their hands, briefly introducing their abilities.

“I have an S-level ability, manipulation of dark matter energy.” Just as the A-level abilities were almost covered, a young voice sounded.

Immediately, silence fell upon the crowd as all eyes turned toward the speaker.

Xia Chi stood among them, raising his hand with a bright smile on his heroic face. “Hi, everyone.”

The middle-aged sturdy man was slightly surprised. “Oh, hello. It’s, uh, impressive. I’m a little curious—may I ask how you upgraded to an S-level ability?”

Bai Lixin also walked over curiously.

This stinky boy obviously only eats and sleeps, so he doesn’t work hard at all.

Xia Chi was a little embarrassed by the attention, he smiled shyly, “Dark matter energy is always present at night, so you don’t need to do anything about it, as long as I stay in the dark, I can upgrade. It’s really just my luck.”

Someone said: “Fuck, you can upgrade at night when you sleep?”

Xia Chi was even more embarrassed: “Yes.”

There was an uproar in the crowd.

Isn’t this being at the right time and place? !

Bai Lixin’s eyes widened: “…”

One thing to say, I’m really envious.

———————-

In the live broadcast room.

[As expected of the little sun of fortune. Among these players, I admire two individuals—the one who possesses an exponent of luck and the one whose luck turned into an “enigma.” ]

[An enigma if luck: are you jealous? ]

[I am now numb to Xia Chi’s luck. I used to be envious and jealous, but now I only have calmness. ]

[Laughing to death, God Xin’s eyes are wide with envy.]

[The world closes a door for you, and it will definitely open a window for you. ]

[This door appears to be a massive iron gate. ]

[Xia Chi is probably the only person God Xin can envy. ]

[ “Envy to the Point of Death”]

“I too possess an S-level ability,” Bai Li Xin raised his hand. “I previously obtained a transparent crystal nucleus and, after absorbing it, reached the S-level.”

The middle-aged man stared at Bai Lixin’s face for two seconds, then nodded with a momentary realization. “Oh, oh, I remember you. Yes, you are the one who successfully matched with the transparent crystal nucleus.”

“Those are two S-level ability users. Where are the remaining two?” The middle-aged man waited for a while but no one raised their hand, so he had to urge, “Now is not the time to hold back and hide our strength. Stop concealing it.”

Whispered conversations erupted among the crowd.

“Is it you?”

“No, not me. I’m only a B-level ability user.”

“Not me either, I also possess only a B-level ability.”

“I only have a C-level ability.”

Just when no one knew who the remaining two S-level ability users were, a voice suddenly broke the restless atmosphere.

“I am an S-level ability user, and my ability is fire.”

“I too am an S-level ability user, and my ability is absolute void.”

Li Cancan’s eyes brightened upon hearing this voice. She quickly turned her head and saw Song Yuantian and Zhou Guang, who had been away for several days, rushing over with dust-covered appearances.

The two individuals who spoke were Samael and Song Yuantian.

Samael raised his hand, and his enormous hood continued to conceal his face in mysterious darkness. His outer robe was slightly disheveled, and the hem was somewhat tattered. “I am the S-level fire ability user.”

Song Yuantian’s face was even paler than before, leaving everyone uncertain whether the snow was whiter or Song Yuantian’s skin. His shallow-colored eyes glanced faintly at Bai Lixin, and although his voice was weak, it carried a penetrating force. “I am the S-level ability user of absolute void.”

His voice was soft, but to anyone who heard it, it seemed as if the sound was ringing right next to their ears.

The middle-aged man was stunned. “I can understand the ability of fire, but what does ‘absolute void’ mean?”

Song Yuantian replied, “I can create a small space that benefits us. Within this space, the opponent’s strength can be weakened by fifty percent while our side receives a one hundred percent power enhancement.”

“Damn, directly weakening the opponent’s strength by half? This ability is incredible.”

“Just now, we also heard the system’s voice on our way back,” Song Yuantian swiftly walked to Bai Lixin’s side, then withdrew his gaze and fixed his sharp eyes on the man on the wall. “Are you discussing which method to choose?”

Bai Lixin glanced sideways at Song Yuan Tian.

He was dressed in a thick down jacket, but through the zipper, one could still discern the other’s clothing. Song Yuantian seemed no different from before, but upon closer observation, his eyes were filled with hatred and a resolute madness.

Zhou Guang quickly joined Bai Lixin’s side. Faced with Bai Lixin’s probing gaze, Zhou Guang shook his head regretfully.

—Not found.

Song Yuantian abandoned his usual indifference, pushed his way through the crowd to the front. Despite his weak body, he had explosive strength. With a light leap, he landed on the wall.

Beneath his pale-colored eyes lay a seal of explosive power. He spoke coldly and expressionlessly, “The path lies before us. There is no need to consider anymore, right?”

“One path is beyond our ability, while three paths will catch up to us in no time.”

Bai Lixin was taken aback and quickly opened a private chat window with Song Yuantian. [I have a hypothesis. Would you like to hear it?]

He had always been uncertain about whether Song Yuantian’s girlfriend was the Zombie Queen. He had never seen Song Yuantian’s girlfriend, and Song Yuan Tian had never seen the Zombie Queen.

Even if the Zombie Queen might know Song Yuantian, it did not prove that she was his girlfriend.

If she was, it would be great, but if not, it would be a major misunderstanding that could cause a great deal of harm.

So, he had been waiting for Song Yuantian to return and verify the situation in person before telling him this hypothesis.

But he never expected that Song Yuantian, who was usually calm and composed, would now rush out like a madman.

The message was sent, but Song Yuantian completely ignored it.

“Do we still need to consider which path to choose? I am Song Yuantian, the president of the Sand Sea Guild. These years of experience should be something sone people have witnessed.” Song Yuantian stood on the wall with his frail body, attracting the attention of everyone. His eyes appeared cold due to their light-colored irises, enhancing his overall temperament.

Just as Song Yuantian was about to continue speaking, Bai Lixin gave a subtle signal to Xia Chi.

Xia Chi instantly understood, and his right hand transformed into a black-colored rope, flying towards Song Yuantian.
