Apocalypse: System of lotteries

"Do you need something?"

Ming looked at the woman. She was still dressed in her usual professional attire, with not a hint of femininity on her face. Especially the short scar on her chin, it made her look very... manly.

"I didn\'t want to disturb you when you were with your brothers a few days ago, today... it\'s a coincidence."

Eve spoke while looking at the mist, then turned her head to look in the direction of the city center, asking, "Are you going to enslave these people?"

"~"

Hearing this, Ming laughed, "Why would you ask that?"

The woman looked at the man\'s curved mouth, her eyes flickered, "Now many districts are ruled by the strong over the weak, some just collect head taxes, some even make them slaves, and some are even more terrifying. I have heard that some people sacrifice living people to zombies, saying they are \'offering\' to the \'gods\'."

"Hmm~"

Ming nodded slightly, leaning against a short wall, facing the mist, indeed, the longer people faced the unknown and fear, the more likely they were to turn to gods.

Just like the group of people he met in the forest last night, the Lorris standing on the high platform of the giant stone, perhaps he is the god in the eyes of those people under the platform.

Eve stood next to the man and let out a long sigh, "The real apocalypse, is just beginning, isn\'t it?"

Ming nodded but did not speak.

[Your frogs cross the ruins, and walk out of the suburbs, it is desolate farmland, and in the middle of the field sways a scarecrow made of cloth... Da Vinci moved his heart of lyricism, scarecrow, you are destined to be lonely... it patted the Little Grey squatting next to it, don\'t be sad, didn\'t say you... Little Grey rotates its eyes, that\'s good~~]

[Foodie targets the exclamation mark under the scarecrow, initiates the ability to collect, collection successful... it feels that it has become smarter now, maybe it\'s because it has grown up... the troubles of growing up is to worry... foodie jumps forward, chasing an insect~]

[Merlin looks around and finds nothing interesting, it looks at the three-eyed zombie in the distance, don\'t worry, wait for me to collect enough toxins, and then come to beat you~]

"~"

A three-eyed zombie?

He had seen six-armed ones before, so a three-eyed one was not strange. However, the distance the frogs could travel was limited, related to their stamina. To explore deeper, he still needed the powerful Luck attribute of Kubo.

He had tried the teleportation gate in the mist before, but it was completely unusable. Otherwise, he could go in and investigate more thoroughly. Now, he felt more and more that the mist was like a \'wall\', separating two \'worlds\'.

[Your frogs hop to the bottom of a small hill and collect the red stones scattered on the ground. Da Vinci looks at the listless Little Grey and tells the mouse, labor can make you forget your troubles... Little Grey looks at the red stones on the ground, turns around, and looks for a trash can~]

[Foodie passes by, and looks at Da Vinci, I told you Little Grey\'s nature a long time ago, deserves to be single~]

[Da Vinci wants to transform Little Grey like it transformed Foodie... Foodie gives Da Vinci a white eye, are there not enough fools at home~]

"~"

Ming took out two apples, tossing one to the woman behind him, "Don\'t worry, I\'m just a harmless businessman. You can let go of your concerns."

Eve wiped the apple and looked up at the man, "Do you need a wife?"

"..."

Ming bit into his apple and looked back, frowning at the woman, "Are you now starting to play matchmaker? Does it pay well?"

"..."

Eve stood still for a long time, unable to calm her budding heart. Yes, the bud had bloomed, and the man in front of her was just a herbivore.

[Your Da Vinci collected a flower shimmering with a red glow, telling Little Grey who is hopping around looking for a trash can, you need to be strong, you can\'t let yourself sink, it\'s been so many days, even if there\'s food in the trash can, it would have rotted beyond recognition. You should go to the living area, to rummage through fresh trash cans... Little Grey paused, deep in thought~]

[Foodie watches Little Grey run off like a flying arrow toward the edge of the mist, staring blankly at Da Vinci... Foodie told Merlin, Da Vinci is really a gifted talent...]

[Merlin is not interested in these, it is now most eager to find poisonous insects, poisonous plants, and toxins. It spotted a lonely cabin standing in the field, looking at Foodie... You\'re the smartest, you go in first...]

"..."

Ming watched the woman\'s retreating figure, feeling a bit puzzled. He just asked if she wanted to start a marriage agency. It seemed more professional, and then he would provide the funds, let Eve be the boss, and he would get a regular cut.

This... seemed like a win-win situation, but... the other party had left and even turned down his kind investment offer. Indeed, no one would share a profitable business, but he felt he was different. He was a person who liked to share.

At this moment, a grey rat ran past his feet. This should be Little Grey, looking a bit skinny.

[Your Foodie smashed the door and looked around the dim cabin, then turned back and told Merlin, there\'s no one, we can go in~]

[Merlin entered the room and saw that the furnishings inside were very simple, a bed, a table, and a few miscellaneous items including a slipper. Then, a transparent plastic bottle caught its eye, containing half a bottle of a dark green liquid. Merlin could feel that this poison is great~ really great~]

[Foodie caught the gaze passed on by Merlin and initiated its collection ability on the small bottle, the collection was successful... Da Vinci squatted on the ground, watching the running figure in the distance, very happy~]

"~"

Ming squatted on the ground, holding a coconut, waiting.

At this time, Alan was set down by two giant eagles, "Boss, as expected, you\'re here. I just bumped into Eve, she didn\'t seem very happy."

"Uh~ she might have something on her mind."

Ming nodded, asking, "Did you come looking for me for something?"

"Not really, just wanted to hang out with you for a while."

Alan also took out a coconut, squatting next to Ming, "Boss, the auction for the Doomsday Trading Line has been canceled. Now all the people in the sectors are communicating to find a place as a free trading zone."

"~"

Ming took a sip of coconut water, "If that\'s the case, then District 1001 no longer has an advantage. Is David okay?"

Alan laughed, "He\'s already crying, all the land he hoarded is now worthless."

"Even though he suffered heavy losses, I want to laugh"

"Me too, haha~"

"Haha~"

"..."

At this point, David appeared with a bitter face, "Seeing you guys laugh so happily, you must know I suffered a loss, right? we are True friends indeed. Now there\'s a better business opportunity, do you guys want to participate?"

Alan and Ming shook their heads, "No."
