Chapter 4, Precious Land

A deep growl erupted, and the cyclops charged forward like a bolt of lightning in a frenzy

Treasure grounds can produce treasures of any level, and the quantity and quality of treasures within the treasure grounds are entirely random

The allure of a treasure land is too great for humanity

As he looked at the shelf before him, which had been ravaged by the one-eyed beast, its grotesque eye cruelly gazed at him, and the bloodthirstiness and brutality within made Wen Yu's heart sink to the depths.

Roar

Even if injured, for the ordinary person Wen Yu, the zombie virus spoken of by the one-eyed man could still lead to his demise.

Wen Yu watched the cyclopean creature voraciously devouring the entrails of the zombies, not daring to breathe, while cautiously stepping backward

The treasures vary in size, and their appearance follows a completely random pattern. The duration of their existence also differs greatly; a treasure may appear and then disappear almost immediately, or it may remain for an extended period.

Even if one enters, the treasure land will immediately close and expel the individual from the treasure land

However, the items produced within are almost all high-quality goods that cannot be exchanged on the exchange stone pillars: high-quality skills, high-quality items, exceptional equipment, and even hidden class transfer scrolls

Every time a treasure appears, it inevitably stirs up a bloody storm among humanity, all for the sake of two words: profit

Both sides were in hot pursuit of each other, and in the blink of an eye, the distance had closed to within 10 meters. Wen Yu could even smell the foul odor emanating from the one-eyed man's mouth. Wen Yu understood that he could definitely not escape.

In an open space, one would definitely be doomed, only ... ...

Death, naturally, Wen Yu was afraid; otherwise, he would have ended his own life long ago in his previous life

The one-eyed man paced back and forth in the convenience store, his remaining eye fixed intently on Wenyu, the mockery in his gaze clearly conveyed.

Even taking into account Wen Yu's speed of escape, the one-eyed creature's attack will arrive in approximately 4 seconds; once it strikes, Wen Yu will undoubtedly meet his demise

Is it that I have just been reborn only to die again? Does heaven allow me to be reborn just to make me experience despair once more? Wen Yu understood that what lay before him was a dead end

Due to the position, Wen Yu was just blocked by the body of the one-eyed man and did not see it, while the one-eyed man, facing away from the vortex, naturally could not see it either

The magical energy not only facilitates the evolution of mutated creatures but also enhances the intelligence of these mutated beasts. Dogs are inherently intelligent animals, and now, as a first-level mutated beast, the cyclops plays with its prey in the guise of a hunter

Leaping into the convenience store, he swiftly knocked over a shelf.

At this moment, the one-eyed figure slightly bent his waist, ready to launch an attack.

This distance, for the one-eyed, only takes 2 seconds

Wen Yu slightly adjusted his direction and plunged into the convenience store ahead

Wen Yu knows what that vortex is; it is a treasure land symbolizing opportunity and power

With the advent of the apocalypse, the living space of humanity is being continuously squeezed

Wen Yu hoped to temporarily block the one-eyed man in the cramped convenience store, but unexpectedly, the one-eyed man did not give him any time and directly cornered Wen Yu inside the convenience store. The small convenience store and the enclosed space turned this place into a grave.

However, the mysterious entity that governs all of this has clearly not abandoned humanity. Apart from the ubiquitous exchange stone pillars, the greatest benefit it provides to humanity is the treasure lands.

As the moment approached, Wen Yu became increasingly calm. In his past life, when he was merely a pawn, he had been a step away from death countless times, yet he managed to survive, relying on his composure and a spirit of recklessness. This was the most precious thing that Wen Yu had brought back from the apocalypse.

Even if there are countless mechanisms and traps within that are sufficient to kill oneself or deadly trials

Ah, ah, ah, hurry up, even faster

Until then, the one-eyed man turned his head and discovered his "old neighbor"

This vortex is the entrance to the treasure land

However, Wen Yu understood a principle: the more one fears death, the quicker one dies. "At worst, I will fight you to the end. If I die, you won't have it easy either. I am completely destitute, so what do I have to fear?" Faced with the dire situation before him, Wen Yu's solitary spirit involuntarily emerged as he shouted loudly at the one-eyed man.

However, that is too far away

It was a vertical vortex, approximately the size of a fist, emitting a mysterious silvery light, continuously spinning

Wen Yu understood; this was the expression of a mutated beast upon seeing its prey. In his previous life, he had witnessed this gaze countless times.

Once I change my profession, I can rely on my past combat experience to barely fight against the one-eyed enemy, and at the very least, I can escape.

As soon as Wenyu caught sight of the one-eyed archer, he quickly turned and fled

Wen Yu understood that his only chance of survival at the moment was to rush into a residence; relying on the security door, he might still find a way to live.

Cold sweat involuntarily trickled down as Wen Yu quickly observed his surroundings

With a loud bang, Wen Yu felt a tremendous force coming from his back

As the one-eyed creature leaped, the silvery vortex was also revealed before Wen Yu's eyes

For Wenyu, dying immediately is absolutely a choice that does not require consideration, compared to risking an unknown and then dying.

What made Wenyu even more desperate was that he would soon be able to complete his job transfer.

It may be that the fresh blood and flesh are perceived to have higher nutritional value, or it could be that the viruses within the bodies of the zombies do not have a significant effect on one's own evolution

What should I do, what should I do

Even if there are no treasures inside that would aid in enhancing combat power

However, Wenyu remained expressionless, fearing that the one-eyed man might sense something, which could lead to him charging directly at Wenyu and eliminating him, resulting in a true tragedy.

Wen Yu clenched his fists tightly, the beast before him, with its mocking gaze, ignited a fire of rage within him

However, due to the position, the cyclops was stuck between itself and the exchange stone pillar, becoming an insurmountable chasm.

For the cyclops, the distance between the two parties is less than 40 meters.

Wen Yu was excited, saying, "I knew that the heavens would not play tricks on me; indeed, there is always a way out for those in despair." Wen Yu kept shouting in his heart

Ah!

Most importantly, the treasure land only accepts humans, and this point is undoubtedly the last lifeline for the current Wen Yu

The cyclopean figure turned its gaze to the decayed corpse of the zombie beneath it, then glanced at the unscathed Wenyu. The grotesque single eye gradually fixed its stare on Wenyu, the coldness in its gaze intensifying.

Wen Yu let out a mournful scream, his body was thrown out directly, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood, feeling a tightness in his chest

In the previous life, Wen Yu heard from others that the largest gathering place in Mudanjiang held a treasure that lasted for a duration of 3 months, and there were no signs of it dissipating.

The one-eyed man was startled by the sudden roar. His body involuntarily jumped back a bit. This jump allowed Wenyu to catch a glimpse of a glimmer in the corner of his eye
