Apocalypse: System of lotteries

The next morning, after the rain, the air was exceptionally fresh. Everyone in Ming\'s family stepped out of their rooms and stretched. They knew it was going to be another day full of adventure.

Ming fed the frogs and didn\'t rush to send them on their journey. The night before, he had already made a preliminary plan. The two frogs needed to deal with the five five-star kings. As for how they would do it, it was entirely up to them. He just hoped they would be more serious this time.

Wendy would stay at the temporary shelter and do something meaningful. As for himself and the little bear, they needed to retrieve the money that belonged to him.

At the same time, he wanted to scout for two zombies to use for his purposes, one for the Holy Song and one for the Ghost Dance, making use of their skill cooldown reduction BUFF.

He wanted to bridge the one-star Emperor-level zombie Aiyana in the warehouse, but its mental attribute was 800, an unattainable number.

Everything else was not what he needed right now, but they would definitely come in handy later.

Sometime later, as they approached the center of the zone, Ming released the two frogs and patted their heads, "See those zombies over there? I want everything they have on them."

[Your Da Vinci looked at you, nodding to show it understood, and headed in the direction you pointed with foodie...]

"Good boy."

Ming found that after Da Vinci\'s evolution, it seemed to have become smarter than before. It seemed that the next step was to upgrade Foodie so that it too would become smarter. After all, its current brain size was probably only as big as a sesame seed.

[Your frogs hopped towards the zombies, and the foodie asked Da Vinci, puzzled, what Ming wanted them to do... Da Vinci stuck out its tongue, not knowing... Foodie looked at Da Vinci and asked why it agreed so quickly...]

[Your Da Vinci patted foodie, "If we don\'t agree quickly, won\'t that make him think we\'re stupid? You fool..."]

"Damn it~" Ming, who was already far from the center of the zone, shook his head. Upon careful consideration, it seemed that these guys had always acted according to their thoughts, guessing his intentions. They were not as smart as he had imagined; otherwise, they wouldn\'t be bumping into exclamation marks so frequently.

"Give me the money!" While pondering the frogs\' problem, Ming handed the prescription to the zombie in front of him, blocking the little bear that wanted to go past and pat the zombie. He told it, "Little bear, our food expenses are provided by them, so don\'t directly pat their heads. That\'s very wasteful~"

"Roar~" The little bear growled and broke the zombie\'s left leg, causing it to kneel on one knee.

"Right! Just like that. Break their arms and legs, then leave them to me."

Ming was delighted that the little bear was smarter than the frogs. Perhaps this was the difference between having a big brain and a small one.

He picked a small yellow flower by the roadside and let the little bear lower its head, inserting it into the hair by its ear as a reward. The little bear nuzzled his face, and its tongue licked his nose. Ming sniffed and smelled the honey-flavored saliva.

After that, the little bear walked ahead, beating one zombie after another. On the broken and cracked road, the zombies lay scattered. Ming squatted on the ground and asked for money one by one. The efficiency wasn\'t high, and he wondered why he hadn\'t encountered any Holy Song or Ghost Dance zombies yet.

[Your frogs lay on the stone slabs, basking in the sun while staring at a group of zombies not far away. Foodies felt that they should do something and asked Da Vinci what he was thinking... Da Vinci stuck out his tongue, wondering what Ming meant just now...]

[Foodie rolled up a few ants and looked at Da Vinci, suggesting they find an anthill, as the sour ants were quite tasty... Da Vinci patted Foodie, accusing it of always thinking about eating... Were they as sour as the ones they encountered by the river last time?... Foodie nodded vigorously, even sourer...]

[Your frogs followed the ants, preparing to visit the ants\' home. As they walked, they discovered that the ants were circling around a large claw... They found that the entrance to the anthill was under the large claw... The frogs looked up at the huge figure... Foodie nudged Da Vinci, thinking it was better not to mess with the creature covered in long spikes... Da Vinci told Foodie that when frogs go out, they value politeness... It looked up at the purple-eyed porcupine and croaked, "Hey! Get out of the way for me..."]

"Is that what you call politeness?" Ming was a bit shocked to receive this information, but he figured those guys should be fine.

"Quickly, give me the money!" Ming handed the prescription to the crippled zombie.

[Skill activated, collected 2000]

Ding~ Received 2000.

[No money, items as compensation]

Ding~ Several items.

Clang! Ming raised his crossbow and killed the zombie. Looking at the little bear who was patting the zombies, it was true that the big guy was gentle only with its family members.

Just then, a plump zombie ran out from a broken-down building. Ming scanned it with his eagle eye and immediately shouted to the little bear, "Don\'t touch this one, let me handle it!"

Ming sprang forward, charging straight at the zombie. As he reached it, he said, "You\'ve got a terminal illness!"

[Skill activated, the opponent doesn\'t believe]

"Don\'t believe me? Let\'s try a shot!" Ming dodged the zombie\'s narrow sword attack and swiftly circled to its right side, stabbing the syringe into the back of the zombie\'s neck and injecting the drug.

The zombie performed a split due to hallucinations...

"What the hell, this split is perfect!"

"Bridge!"

Ming didn\'t have time to appreciate it, reaching out and pressing his hand on the zombie\'s forehead.

The bridge was successful.

"Great!"

Ming stood up straight, a smile appearing on his face. This was the only Holy Song zombie that satisfied him today, a five-star Lord-level named Annie. What made him feel even better was that Annie was actually wearing a blue spirit energy bracelet on her wrist.

"Cast the Champion\'s Song on me." Ming issued the command.

"Hehehe~ Hehe~ He~"

One minute later.

"Hehe~"

Ming was delighted, leading the little bear while the zombie Annie followed behind. The Champion\'s Song BUFF he just received reduced the cooldown time of all his skills by 25%. This feeling was like the sensation of money accelerating into his pocket, leaving his whole body refreshed and invigorated.

[Your frogs had an in-depth conversation with the five-star King-level porcupine. They gave the porcupine a name, calling it Arsenal, because it was equipped with many, many weapons... They also learned that the porcupine was easily angered... It loved slaughter, brutality, ferocity, and bloodthirst...]

[Your frogs decided to persuade \'Arsenal\' with kind words, urging it to find its way back and become a useful porcupine in the world... Foodie told it that if it didn\'t lift its foot, the ants wouldn\'t be able to return home...]

[Da Vinci told \'Arsenal\' that Ming was really nice, kind, and handsome, and he loved small animals. Although you\'re a bit bigger, he wouldn\'t mind...]

[Foodie looked at the big porcupine and said, "Let\'s be friends..."]

"If you guys can coax it into joining us, I\'ll grant any request you have."

Ming hoped it would be successful, as it would make things much easier for him. Just then, he spotted an elegant figure, a Phantom Dancer zombie.

…

In the basement, wearing yoga pants, an apron, a mask, and gloves, zombie Wendy was busily scaling a box of fish and removing their innards. After cleaning them, she placed them in another empty box and grabbed another fish, continuing her repetitive work.
