The End of the World: I Command the Cthulhu Army

March 2022, 3, today's sunshine is still dazzling. On such an ordinary morning, what greets you is definitely the sound of children reading aloud and laughing and playing.

However, the continuous cries of pain broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the high school campus.

The footsteps were chaotic, like an ant nest dispersed by hot water. Countless students fled in panic, and behind them were people who had already turned into zombies.

Just before this, they came to school with smiles on their faces, fantasizing about everything that could happen today and looking forward to college. But now, they have lost their lives and are biting anyone they see.

“This is crazy, this is crazy!!”

Zhao Kai was trembling while hiding in the toilet cubicle. Listening to the noise outside, his heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out.

"Ah, help... help! Neck... neck!"

“Don’t…don’t come over here…ah!”

"Xiaojuan, cover for me...!"

"Ah... Wang Meng, you are such an ungrateful man, ah!"

Zhao Kai breathed rapidly, curled up in the dark corner of the black and smelly porcelain plate, smelling the stench coming from the toilet. He was in a trance and couldn't believe that all this was real!

"Dude... do you smoke?"

In the next cubicle, a trembling hand holding a cigarette stretched out from the bottom of the partition. Zhao Kai took it subconsciously, but suddenly realized that he didn't smoke, so he quickly put it back into his pocket.

All of this was unconscious, because he was too frightened to know how to behave like a normal person.

In the same trembling voice, he replied, "Thank you very much."

The person on the other end, with a somewhat magnetic voice but speaking in a funny dialect, asked: "Dude, do you think all this is true?"

Zhao Kai leaned back, their faces separated by a partition. Zhao Kai calmed down and analyzed it rationally: "Eighty percent of it is true. It is impossible for someone to make such a joke, so... we have to accept reality..."

There was something sad in his voice. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

The person over there was silent for a moment, as if he took a deep puff of a cigarette, with smoke continuously reaching the ceiling, and a sigh was heard.

"Ah... What a sin! We humans must have reached the end. Amitabha..."

Zhao Kai also found his remarks slightly amusing at this time, and said: "Brother, do you still believe in Buddhism?"

"My dad believes it, but I don't."

The person on the other end laughed and said, "Brother, it's the end of the world, let's not act like we usually do. My name is Lindu, from Class 19... Um, although these are not necessary, what's your name?"

Zhao Kai stared at the toilet door shrouded in shadow, and heart-wrenching roars continued to come from outside.

"Zhao Kai, from Class 15, ranks last in grades and has little presence. He's not the good student you imagine."

Lin Du smacked his lips and said, "My dear, Class 15 is the first class of liberal arts, then you still say that you are not good at studying, and if you don't smoke, give me back the cigarette."

Zhao Kai: “No.”

"Tsk, good students like you don't smoke, isn't it a waste to keep it?"

Zhao Kai: "I won't return it then."

"Tsk, alright, I'm a man of honor, so I'll let it go. But listen to the noise outside...how many people do you think can survive?"

Zhao Kai didn't know either, but based on his previous experience of watching zombie movies, it was estimated that only a few people would survive in the entire school. People like them who went to the toilet to read novels in the morning to avoid morning reading were the luckiest among the lucky ones.

Lindu should be here to smoke. I guess this kid has a strong addiction to smoking.

"I don't think he'll live much longer. Have you seen World War Z? He's killed in just a few hits, and then he gets up and kills others. That's exponential growth."

"Zhao Kai, you bitch, I told you how many people can survive, and you're talking about math..."

Zhao Kai: "Anyway, few people can survive. Unless someone can find a shelter, they can only survive for a while. Subsequent resources will be a problem."

Lin Du also finished his cigarette, lit another one, smacked his lips a few times and said, "When are we going to leave? It's safe to stay here, but it's a problem to get food and drink. But if you want to be Lao Ba, just ignore what I said."

Zhao Kai's face was full of black lines. Lin Du had a really good mentality. He was still thinking about making a joke at this time.

"You want to be the eighth one!"

"Your whole family is old eight!"

Lin Du: "Tsk, just kidding. We have to go out eventually. Let's go out early. Then the school canteen and cafeteria will be ours. We can solve the problem of food."

Zhao Kai was also struggling in his heart. What Lin Du said was the truth. If there were lucky people like them hiding in every corner of the school, then the one who got out first would undoubtedly have the first say. However, the degree of danger was self-evident.

The number of people is one aspect, and strength is another. They are all students, so how big a difference can there be in their strength?

They all know the route, so the biggest problem is the zombies.

It is rumored that zombies are stronger than ordinary people, and their mission is to bite people. To put it bluntly, they are machines that infect people, without emotions or thoughts.

"We can still handle one or two zombies, but if there are seven, eight or even dozens of them at once, neither you nor I will know how we died!"

Zhao Kai sighed slightly. He knew that Lin Du must be thinking about this question at the same time.

At this time, the roar outside gradually subsided. After all, everyone was constantly fleeing, not going in circles. Most people should have run far away at this moment.

"Hold still for now and go out later."

Lin Du gave his thoughts immediately, and Zhao Kai nodded secretly.

"Okay! A man should try his luck. No need to worry about other people's problems."

"Hey, Zhao Kai, is your phone working? Mine won't turn on at all."

Zhao Kai heard this and said, "I didn't bring my cell phone."

Just as the two were planning tacitly, there was a sudden loud noise in the sky, and a huge blue light curtain came down, covering the school and the surrounding villages together.

A voice sounded in the mind of everyone in the light curtain at the same time.

"Welcome... to Doomsday!"

Zhao Kai and Lin Du raised their heads at the same time, subconsciously thinking that the sound came from the sky, but all they saw was the yellow ceiling.

"Don't worry, I'm not a threat to you. You should be more concerned about those hungry zombies."

The voice contained some emotion, but it was not very strong, and it echoed clearly in Zhao Kai's brain.

Even so, he still said, "Lindu, did you hear it too?"

Lindu: “I heard it…”

At the same time, all the zombies stopped what they were doing, and all those who were running, hiding, or fighting back stopped.

They stared at it all in a daze, and first quickly left the area that was originally full of zombies, and the voices in their heads rang one after another.

"Don't worry, let me read out the rules. From now on, you will all fight in the world I created. The last 1,000 people who survive will be the winners. You can use any means you want."

"Kill the zombies, and your body functions will be strengthened. I will also bury some treasures in different places. Let's see which lucky people can get these precious treasures."

The voice paused, then continued

"The zombies will become stronger and stronger. All players, you can form teams at will and use any tools. The 1,000 people who survive this game... can also receive the ultimate mysterious reward!"

After saying this, the voice disappeared, followed by the sound of countdown.

ten,

nine,

Eight,

Seven,

.........

Everyone's expressions instantly turned into fear and they ran away in all directions. Some were frightened to death, but these words were clearly imprinted in everyone's mind.

And these countdowns are probably the countdowns for the zombies to resume action.

Some people who were originally next to the light curtain wanted to run towards the outside of the blue light curtain, but they crashed into the light curtain. They were horrified to find that the light curtain, which was like a birdcage, was actually like a glass wall and could not be passed through.

How to resolve the trapped beast situation?

Only fighting is the law of doomsday.

The zombies finally resumed their movements, and the string of numbers at the top of the light curtain was also falling rapidly.

14030...

13965...

13567...

This is the number of people within the light curtain. When the number of people above drops to 1000 or less, the game is over.

Zombies will ruthlessly slaughter humans, but what about humans? The answer is obvious. If someone must survive in the end, why can't it be them?

At this time, the way some people looked at their peers had subtly changed, while the people around them were still unaware of it.

The coverage area includes Zhao Kai's entire high school campus, some surrounding villages, a corner on the edge of the city, and several factories.

It took Zhao Kai and Lin Du, who were hiding in the toilet, a while to come back to their senses. They were both a little dazed.

Is this still their original world?

If the outbreak of the zombie virus was the limit of their understanding, then the light curtain that fell from the sky and the sound that sounded in their minds were already incomprehensible.

Even TV dramas are not filmed like this. The excitement is no less than that of aliens invading the earth.

Zhao Kai calmed down and pinched the area between his eyebrows to relieve his tense nerves.

Lin Du took a deep puff of his cigarette, and the flames burst out. The cigarette butt was burned out, leaving only the cigarette butt. He threw it aside and said, "Zhao Kai, it's time to get out!"

Zhao Kai: "Okay, I'll open the door!"

The two of them opened the bathroom door almost at the same time and met each other.
