Apocalypse, I Can Modify Infinitely

“Infinite Modification System?!” 

Crowe exclaimed in surprise. He took a step out of the stairway, but his body froze as he realized he had just entered the sixth floor.

With a broken wooden stick in his hand, Crowe fumbled his way into a dormitory room. While he made his way through the messy living room, Crowe leaned against the balcony door, filled with excitement. Just as he was about to speak, the system’s voice appeared once again.

“Ding! The Infinite Modification System has been successfully bound. Starting data collection on the host’s vital signs…”

As the system fell into silence, Crowe felt an inexplicable fluctuation. It was as if a scanning machine continuously emitted magnetic waves throughout his entire body. The system was conducting an overall inspection of his body without leaving behind any blind spots. The system’s detection method was far more superior to any other technology in the world.

As the system collected vital signs of the host’s body, this meant that Crowe would be able to keep track of his body’s condition at any time and place. In any apocalyptic environment, collected information was vital. Whether it was information from an external environment or the knowledge of one’s vital signature, these information were important for survival.

Crowe moved slightly toward the window and drew the curtain that was full of holes in order to take a peep. The glass balcony door had a tiny crack that allowed him to see the dormitory’s door that was half-smashed. It seemed that the zombies were no longer after him. Crowe then quietly waited for the system’s response as he kept an eye on his surroundings.

Soon, the system’s notification rang once again.

“Ding, system scan successful! Host’s attributes panel has been generated!”

Subsequently, a virtual screen appeared in Crowe’s mind.

“Ding! The [Apocalypse Survival Gift Bag] has been distributed…”

The system’s voice rang once again, this time it sounded pleasing to Crowe’s ears.

With the survival gift bag that was distributed by the system, he finally had the means to protect himself.

“System, open the [Apocalypse Survival Gift Bag]!”

“Ding, opening the gift bag. Congratulations! You have received [Basic Armored Vehicle Modification Card]x1! [Basic Strength Enhancer]x1! [Basic Alloy Blade]x1!”

“The [Apocalypse Survival Gift Bag] distribution has been completed. Please check within the system inventory!”

“The apocalypse has arrived. The zombies had surrounded the city. Please prepare yourself and use your resources wisely for survival!”

When he heard that the system had distributed the [Apocalypse Survival Gift Bag], Crowe was delighted. However, his heart sank as he heard the final sentence from the system.

“The zombies had surrounded the city? The apocalypse had actually reached such a critical level?” 

‘Come to think of it, it made sense. As a major university in the country, if Bastille University had fallen, other places would have been worse…’ Crowe thought to himself as he gazed outside of the dormitory building.

The university was deserted and the zombies were like predators hunting for prey. As for himself and the other survivors, they could only hide, as a single misstep would turn them into food for the zombies. Since there might be other survivors, they had to find a safe place to live. If they could just band together, they would become a strong force to defend themselves against the zombies. However, before they could achieve these goals, they needed a plan to escape from this building.

Crowe had been hiding in Room 304 for a while. Unfortunately, he hasn’t found any survivors in the rooms. To make things worse, the zombies grew more and more active as time passed.

“I can’t wait any longer. I have to break out!”

Crowe then heard the footsteps of zombies echoing from the corridor. It seemed that zombies were gradually approaching him. Hiding wasn’t the solution, as there was no food or water. The longer he waited, the direr the situation would become.

“Apocalypse Survival Gift Bag, I’m counting on you!”

Without wasting time, Crowe quickly took out the three items he received from the system inventory. His gaze fell on the first item, a dark rectangular card that looked like a playing card. With just a thought, the information of the card quickly appeared in his mind.

[Basic Armored Vehicle Modification Card] — Applied on any four-wheeled vehicle. The modification time required is 3 minutes. The target can be modified into a basic armored vehicle!

“What the f*ck? This modification requires 3 minutes?”

Crowe was a little dumbfounded. In the face of a crisis, time is life, and this modification required 3 minutes. Not to mention that there was no four-wheeled vehicle found near the dormitory building. Even if he ever did manage to find a four-wheeled vehicle, what would be the chances of him surviving under the siege of a horde of zombies? He grumbled and put the card back into his system inventory.

Shortly after, a plan emerged in Crowe’s mind. Although there were no vehicles near the dormitory building, there were a lot of cars parked in other areas of the campus. Crowe was familiar with the zombie apocalypse genre, he knew very well what he needed. To survive the apocalypse, an armored vehicle that had high defense and fast movement was indispensable and the system had provided a perfect solution. Now all he needed was a car.

Then, his gaze moved towards the second item— a transparent glass tube that contained a blue liquid that looked very similar to a bottle of mouthwash.

[Basic Strength Enhancer]— Within 5 seconds of consumption, the user’s strength attribute will be permanently increased by 20 points!

“Permanently increase my strength? That’s awesome!”

“The strength of an ordinary person is only around 10 points. After drinking the strength enhancer, the user’s strength will be increased by 20 points. This would be a massive power-up!”

Crowe was smiling from ear to ear. If he had consumed this liquid, his chances of surviving the ferocious zombies while finding a vehicle to be modified into an armored vehicle would’ve increased greatly.

He took a deep breath while he twisted the bottle cap off and drank all of it in one gulp.

‘The taste is indeed similar to mouthwash…’

After the taste had settled, it actually tasted sweet. The strength enhancer made its way into Crowe’s stomach and into his bloodstream. As it circulated around his body, a numbing pain and itchiness immediately spread throughout his body. Sweat perspired through his pores but it was quickly being dried up along with the high temperature emitted from his body. Crowe instantly felt the excruciating pain!

Five seconds later, Crowe’s muscles tightened, as he clenched his fists tightly, and an abundant feeling of strength emerged within him. It was as if every cell in his body had evolved and his entire body felt as if it had been rejuvenated. The attribute panel in his mind was being updated. His strength attribute had increased from 12 points to 32 points.

“This feeling is really awesome!” Crowe grinned silently.

He waved the alloy blade in his hand, and the sound of it cutting through air can be heard. It was time for the last item.

[Basic Alloy Blade]— An alloy with a durability of 30 points and a length of 23 centimeters. It was extremely sharp and had a special restraining effect against zombies!

The appearance of the blade was striking and the hilt of the blade was wrapped by a nylon-like thin rope, which appealed to Crowe’s taste. He tried slashing the sword against the wall in front of him. A black trajectory shimmered, which was followed by a crack as deep as half of a thumb that appeared on the wall.

Crowe gleamed with joy and trembled in excitement. The zombies may be ferocious but now he had these gifts from the system. It was going to be a massacre..
