The end of the world: The ancestral sword becomes a system

"But I can't let you kill that mutant mantis, even if you have a huge grudge against him. I still have a use for the mutant mantis."

Tang Yuan cried even louder when he heard this, and said, "Even you won't help us, what should I do?"

Seeing this crying, the people around felt a little bit sorry for it.

But none of these people stood up. They knew that Ning Yuchen would not infringe on their interests for these things.

But Tang Feng was not surprised, nor did he cry. He just looked at Ning Yuchen and asked:

"Then how can you help us? Or what do we have to pay in order for you to help us?"

When the people present heard this, they all looked at Tang Feng. Normally, Ning Yuchen's words would be enough to make most people shut up, just like them at that time. If it weren't for Shangguan Yanran, their relationship with Ning Yuchen would definitely be quite stiff now.

Ning Yuchen was a little surprised when he heard this, then looked at Tang Feng and said:

"It's very simple. As long as you have a B-level item, it doesn't matter if it's equipment, items, or skills. As long as you can give me one, I will let you have your revenge."

But Tang Feng just bit his lips and looked at the ground.

Ning Yuchen knew from her reaction that she definitely didn't have it, but Ning Yuchen was not going to let them off the hook. This was the iron rule of the end times, and only if there was a sufficient price would anyone help, even if they wanted to avenge their life and death.

But suddenly Tang Feng opened his mouth and murmured softly:

"..."

The people around didn't hear what Tang Feng said at all, but Ning Yuchen heard it. She was surprised but didn't react in any other way.

Tang Feng mistakenly thought that Ning Yuchen didn't hear him, and shouted:

"I say, my body, my body, is that enough? I'm still a virgin, is that enough of a price?"

This left everyone around speechless. This sentence was so shocking that a girl was willing to give up everything for revenge. Tang Yuan also stopped crying and looked at his sister in shock.

Ning Yuchen began to observe this girl for the first time. Tang Feng had a beautiful ponytail. Although it was not fully developed yet, her petite breasts could already be seen. Although there were some blood stains on her face due to the escape, she was still a young and beautiful girl.

When Tang Feng shouted, Ning Yuchen stopped being silent and asked:

"Is it worth it? Your parents are dead. What can you gain even if you do this? Your parents won't want you to give everything to reward them."

"It's worth it. Even if I have to pay this price, even if I get nothing in the end, even if my parents don't want me to do this, I will... definitely avenge my parents."

Ning Yuchen once again felt sad about his own coldness, because he saw Tang Feng burst into tears in the middle of his words, but even so, his heart did not waver at all, like a cold machine, without any human feeling at all.

But he immediately shook off this thought, because this was what was most needed in the end times, and there was nothing wrong with his behavior.

Regardless of Tang Feng's hesitation, Ning Yuchen said, "I'm sorry, although it's very charming and conscious, I don't need it now. I just need to increase my combat power. As for the other things, forget it."

After hearing Ning Yuchen's answer, Tang Feng finally broke down and cried. Tang Yuan also hugged his sister to comfort her. The people around them didn't know what to do. After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving Tang Yuan, Tang Feng, and Ning Yuchen. Even Shangguan Yanran looked at Ning Yuchen and left.

When Ning Yuchen was about to leave, Tang Feng stopped crying and said in his sister's arms:

"Then I can be your sword, your tool. I can give you my entire life. Even if you want me to die, I will not resist."

Ning Yuchen did not stop his steps, and left a word when Ning Yuchen walked away.

"I will let the mutant mantis go free and give you a chance to kill him, but you must also be prepared to be killed. If you can do it, come, I'll be waiting for you at any time, and I hope you can satisfy me."

Hearing Ning Yuchen's words, Tang Feng looked up in surprise, but Ning Yuchen was no longer there. Only a chainsaw, a kitchen knife, and a few light balls were left on the ground...

After returning to the cafeteria, Ning Yuchen went straight to the second-floor window and looked at the scattered zombies outside. He began to wonder whether his behavior was correct.

He didn't know and didn't understand at all whether he should really give up his humanity in order to survive.

Even if Tang Feng was given a chance in the end, it was because the mutant mantis was not very important. If Tang Feng really killed the mutant mantis, it would mean that she had a value that surpassed the mutant mantis.

She is only level 1 now and doesn't have many attributes. Even if the mutant mantis has been seriously injured by him, it is not something that a level 1 rookie can defeat. On the contrary, if Tang Feng can do it, he can also add a helper and be more confident when leaving.

But what touched Ning Yuchen the most in the whole thing was his own attitude. From the beginning to the end, Ning Yuchen did not agree to this matter unless there was sufficient benefit. He had no humanity at all.

But this made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Looking at the two sisters crying helplessly there, he felt for the first time the true cruelty of the end of the world.

For him, the monsters and human nature at the end of the world are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is that the end of the world will make you lose your humanity and make you no longer unfamiliar with killing and indifference.

This is inevitable, but it is really terrifying. I will become a real monster, a walking corpse just trying to stay alive.

But if that happens, what will I have left? Only the instinct to survive, just like zombies chasing after flesh and blood. Is there any need to survive in that case?

……

In this endless thinking, Ning Yuchen heard a voice.

[Master, there is no need to be confused. Being indifferent is necessary to survive in the apocalypse. You did nothing wrong.

But as a life, it needs to have emotions. Only with emotions can we have the motivation to live. 】

Ning Yuchen thought to herself, "Then what should I do? What is the right thing to do?"

The system paused for a moment and continued:

[Master, there is no completely correct answer, but it is precisely because there is no correct answer that you will think about it, and you will still be confused, but that is what it means to be human.

You can do this first. Just completely abandon your emotions when dealing with monsters, and let your emotions run wild in normal times. Although you may lose some opportunities for development, you can also fully understand the beauty of people. 】

This sentence was like a revelation, which solved all his questions and made him no longer confused.

Now Ning Yuchen finally understood the significance of the system's existence. Just as the system said, it was awakened only to guide him, and would guide him towards true strength, not only physically but also spiritually.

Then Ning Yuchen turned his gaze to the ground and looked at the two girls who were risking everything.
