I Am Carrying Gold From the Post-Apocalyptic World

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

Wang Bin, a junior majoring in Financial Management, was not only a top student but also quite handsome, making him very popular among the female students. Unfortunately for them, this campus prince was already taken.

Wang Bin wasn't just a bookworm; he occasionally played games. Recently, he had been playing a single-player game called "Apocalypse Survival," and after nearly a month, he finally completed it.

At the moment he finished the game, an email appeared on his computer screen. Seeing the email, Wang Bin felt a surge of excitement. While playing the game, he often browsed the gaming forum and noticed that no one else seemed to have received an email after completing the game, which sparked a bit of anticipation in his heart.

"After testing, you are the player who completed the game in the shortest time and collected the most resources. We invite you to enter the post-apocalyptic world! A friendly reminder: entering the post-apocalyptic world poses life-threatening risks. If you die in the post-apocalyptic world, you cannot return to the real world. Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward! Please choose your answer: Yes or No?"

Wang Bin was stunned by the email.

It was a difficult choice: to choose yes or no?

After some thought, Wang Bin ultimately chose yes. He was someone who loved adventure and excitement. If he could make his life more thrilling, why not join in?

"Congratulations on making the right choice. We believe you will have an unimaginable apocalyptic experience!"

"Now binding the system!"

"System binding successful!"

"Players can freely enter the post-apocalyptic world through this system!"

"Before entering the post-apocalyptic world, please thoroughly understand the system rules, or bear the consequences!"

"First, if you die in the post-apocalyptic world, you cannot return to the real world!"

"Second, each time you enter the post-apocalyptic world, you must survive for seven days before returning to the real world!"

"Third, the time ratio between the real world and the post-apocalyptic world is 1:7, meaning one day in the real world equals seven days in the post-apocalyptic world!"

"Fourth, players can freely carry non-living items between the two worlds!"

"Fifth, the post-apocalyptic world is a ruleless, brutal world. Please prioritize your survival!"

"The post-apocalyptic world will open in four hours. Please prepare!"

With only four hours to prepare, Wang Bin immediately sprang into action to get ready for his apocalyptic journey.

The urgent task was to quickly buy some items needed for survival in the post-apocalyptic world and survive for seven days first.

However, ever since he started dating Zhao Qian, even with part-time jobs on weekends, he still didn't have much money left.

"What to do? I'll have to borrow some from my roommates You Hongfei and Li Xingping!"

With that decision, Wang Bin quickly found his roommates Hongfei and Li Xingping. He had a good relationship with both of them, and they often took care of him. 

Unfortunately, it was near the end of the month, and they could only gather a thousand yuan.

After thanking them, Wang Bin rushed out of the school to a military supply store, where he bought a large, sturdy military backpack, an entrenching tool, a water bottle, a flashlight, and a high-voltage electric baton. He wanted to buy a dagger too, but the store didn't have any.

Then he went to the supermarket and bought a lot of food until his backpack couldn't hold any more.

Back at school, Wang Bin saw that there was less than half an hour until the opening time. He didn't have time to say goodbye to Zhao Qian in person, so he took out his phone to call her.

"Hello, Zhao Qian."

"Hi, Wang Bin, what's up?"

"I'm going out to work tomorrow. I probably won't be back until the day after."

"Oh, I have something to tell you when you get back."

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow!"

"Mm, goodbye!"

After calling Zhao Qian, Wang Bin found a secluded corner to wait for the time to come.

It was already evening, which helped him avoid being noticed.

As soon as the time arrived, with a whoosh, he was transported to the post-apocalyptic world.

***

When Wang Bin opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a dilapidated house covered in dust, clearly uninhabited for years.

He searched the house and found it seemed to have been looted, with nothing of value left except some old furniture.

Through the window, Wang Bin saw a few zombies wandering the streets outside, and the surrounding houses were eerily quiet, as if no one lived there.

"Should I stay here for seven days or go out and explore?

Forget it, better go out and understand this world!"

With that decision, Wang Bin carefully observed the surrounding buildings and zombie activity through the window, planned a route, and then cautiously left the house with his entrenching tool in hand.

There weren't many zombies on the street, some in groups and some alone. Even so, Wang Bin didn't attempt to hunt them.

He had enough food and water for now, and exploring the world was his main priority. Other matters could wait.

As Wang Bin avoided zombies and explored the city, he soon realized something was wrong. It seemed someone was following him.

He continued walking while using his phone's selfie mode to discreetly check behind him. Through the camera, he saw a young girl watching him from the ruins.

He knew that in the apocalypse, humans were more dangerous than zombies, and he needed to shake her off quickly to stay safe.

Wang Bin quickened his pace, heading for more secluded areas.

But he found that the person behind him was faster and more familiar with the surroundings, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't shake her off.

Wang Bin realized that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to escape her. He had to find a way to deal with her.

Glancing around, Wang Bin chose a five-story building and went inside, relieved to find no zombies.

He picked a room and hid in the shadows with his entrenching tool, ready to ambush the stalker.

But after waiting a long time, she didn't come in. Just as he was getting restless, he noticed half a head peeking through the window, watching him.

"Ah!"

Startled, Wang Bin couldn't help but shout.

The girl had already assessed that Wang Bin was a rookie from her observations. Since she was discovered, she no longer hid and jumped through the window, brandishing a shiny dagger as she approached him.

"You, don't come any closer!"

Wang Bin waved his entrenching tool while retreating.

The girl, with a cold expression, slowly approached Wang Bin, eventually cornering him.

Now that they were so close, Wang Bin could see her clearly. Despite the dirt on her face, she would definitely be a beauty once cleaned up.

Her attire resembled a bandit from a martial arts film, with dirty and tattered clothes and cloth wrapped around her hands.

"If you want to live, leave the backpack!"

Seeing that Wang Bin couldn't escape, the girl finally spoke.

Hearing her demand, Wang Bin felt a wave of regret. Why hadn't he hidden the backpack before coming out? He was practically inviting someone to rob him!

But it was too late for regrets. Now he had to think about what to do.

Judging by her demeanor, she seemed formidable, and the odds of winning a fight were low. But if he gave her the backpack, how would he survive the next seven days?

Gritting his teeth, Wang Bin decided to fight. Even if he couldn't win, he had to try to break through.

He swung the entrenching tool at her, but the girl's movements were incredibly agile. With a slight dodge, she avoided his attack, and then kicked him in the abdomen, sending him to the ground with a cry.
