Meng Ran opened her eyes and suddenly found herself bound to an apocalypse System. Zombies roared in the streets, and her safe house was drafty on every side.
She opened the forum that came with the System and read a few popular posts. She couldn’t make much sense of them, so she started a thread to ask for survival tips suitable for beginners.
A level 312 expert replied: “Don’t rush into dungeons, don’t go somewhere deserted, and don’t pick up every piece of trash you see.”
Meng Ran did all three.
A month later, the thread suddenly shot to the top of the front page. Netizens asked, “Whoa, how did a newbie reach level 1354 in a month? Aren’t you only allowed to level up once a day?”

Little did they know that after picking up trash and a cat, Meng Ran held out for two days,
then couldn’t resist messaging the level 312 expert on the third day to invite them to team up for a dungeon.
The expert arrived and immediately froze. This wild card hadn’t just brought a whole entourage along. The System showed the objective was on the 28th floor, the elevator had no power, nobody had been there for nearly 52 days, and even the zombies stayed away.
Meng Ran: “The cat wanted to come.”
This hellish dungeon was a maze of spatial distortions and looping corridors. The doors and windows changed places every time you blinked, and a teammate’s head could roll to your feet the moment you turned around. To make it out alive, they had to uncover the truth behind the haunted house.
After a tremendous effort, they finally completed the mission. But in the end, their reward was a pile of trash.
Meng Ran: ?
Three days later, an ordinary nail worth 1 gold shot up in price to 8888 gold. Meng Ran had all 98 ordinary nails, and so began her cat-carried, rags-to-riches life!

On day 30, a golden announcement appeared across everyone’s home page:
“Congratulations to [Wala Wala] for breaking the all-time record and unlocking the titles [Dungeon God of War], [Stockpiling Mogul], and [Infrastructure Maniac]!”
The global forum exploded with viral threads:
“Let’s discuss this rationally: Is level 1354 in one month a System bug?”
“Who Is Wala Wala?”
“Begging the rich lady to livestream her unboxing! I want to know if the top-ranked player can buy a power station.”
At the center of the storm, Meng Ran lounged in a warm, comfortable four-story house, eating hot pot, drinking milk tea, and petting her cat, while casually blocking 9999+ messages asking her to carry them.
The apocalypse went on without end, and she’d just found a little fun.

He can't escape, can he? Once he leaves the safe house, he won't be able to see it anymore. Even if he climbs out the window, he'll fall into the four-meter-deep ditch, and he can't climb out because he can't see the steps leading to it.
People like that shouldn't be kept around. Disgusting.
