Seeing Chen Han killing zombies like chopping melons and vegetables, the survivors in the restaurant widened their eyes in shock.
“How is that possible?
Could it be that my bone‑cutting knife is not as useful as that long blade?” The head chef was stunned.
This young man looked frail, and in terms of strength, he definitely wasn’t stronger.
But why could he kill zombies so easily?
At this moment, a sharp‑eyed customer noticed the problem!
That Tang sword, wasn’t it somewhat familiar?
“Holy shit, that’s the newbie weapon from Doomsday Dawn!”
The man finally reacted.
He was also a veteran player and had that weapon.
Then the man clumsily opened the virtual panel before him, planning to take out his valuable pink‑grade weapon.
However, the next second, the man was dumbfounded.
[Level insufficient, unable to use.]
With the system prompt, the man realized he was now level 1, while all the weapons in his backpack were level 30!
In other words, at his current level, he could only use newbie weapons.
“Fuck, what kind of bullshit is this?
My account character is clearly level 34!
Who the hell would keep newbie gear in their backpack!” The man cursed.
Not just him—many veteran Doomsday Dawn players in the room reacted as well and hurriedly checked their backpacks, only to find none of them had a newbie weapon.
“The trading market!
The trading market definitely sells newbie weapons!”
A player suddenly shouted.
Then, they all opened the equipment tab in the trading market.
Sure enough, there were many weapons listed.
But after a closer look, everyone’s expressions darkened.
There were many weapons, but all were level 10 and above.
Meaning—even if they bought them, they couldn’t use them!
At this moment, many people remembered that one “Suit Boss” from the game.
It was him—it had to be him who emptied the trading market of all newbie gear.
“Fuck, I thought Suit Boss was a sucker, but turns out he’s a damn genius!”
“Did he already know the game rules beforehand?”
This thought instantly appeared in the minds of all veteran players.
Next, in the world chat channel, countless players started speaking up.
“Suit Boss, please sell me a newbie weapon, I’m trapped by zombies in the Buckingham restaurant!”
“Suit Boss, I need newbie gear too, I’m stuck in the bathroom and don’t dare come out!”
“Suit Thug, you heartless bastard!
Monopolizing the equipment market in a disaster—are you even human?
Release the gear right now!”
“Suit Thug is true to his name—hoarding supplies in the apocalypse, does your conscience not hurt?”
…
The world channel was extremely lively. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Soon, many people began begging Chen Han to release the stockpiled newbie gear, but even more were condemning him, morally coercing him.
Chen Han’s private messages had long exploded.
Seeing these messages, Chen Han sneered coldly.
These people only knew how to talk crap—they still couldn’t see reality.
Talking about conscience and morality in the apocalypse?
That was behavior fit for saints!
From this moment on, aside from himself, everyone else was a potential enemy.
In his previous life, for food and resources, even a biological son would stab his own father.
Had Chen Han not seen enough of that?
Now was Apocalypse Phase One—the very beginning.
Before confirming he was truly invincible, he would never sell weapons.
In the restaurant, Chen Han continued killing zombies.
[Slayed Level 1 Zombie, gained 50 EXP.]
[Slayed Level 1 Zombie, gained 50 EXP.]
[Slayed Level 1 Zombie, gained 50 EXP.]
…
After killing ten zombies, the system issued another notification.
[Congratulations, player has leveled up to Level 2.
Attributes increased.]
[Player: Chen Han (Suit Thug)]
[Class: Sword Immortal (Unlocked at Level 10)]
[Attack Power: 15 (Normal Human 10) +10 (Level 2 Upgrade)]
[Defense: 10 (Normal Human 10) +10 (Level 2 Upgrade)]
[Speed: 8 (Normal Human 5) +5 (Level 2 Upgrade)]
[Equipment Bonuses: Newbie Purple Tang Sword (+100 Attack), Newbie Purple Protective Suit (+100 Defense), Newbie Purple Running Shoes (+30 Speed)]
The attribute panel flashed and disappeared.
Chen Han nodded to himself.
At this pace, reaching Level 9 would take killing at least a hundred more zombies.
He glanced at the zombies in the restaurant—there really weren’t enough!
But that was fine.
As time passed, zombies would only increase.
Chen Han stepped forward.
Above a freshly slain zombie floated a white glowing orb.
Looking closely—it was a lobster!
The lobster was the food the zombie had eaten before mutating.
After its death, it dropped as a game item.
This was currently the only way players could obtain food!
Zombies mutated from eating food were later called First‑Generation Zombies, highly sought after by advanced players.
Because of this mechanic, a whole series of twisted gameplay emerged later—calling it insane would be an understatement.
Looking again, besides the lobster, there was also red wine, steak, desserts…
Chen Han collected everything into his storage backpack.
After being reborn, he swore never to eat game‑generated food again.
The two hundred million worth of food he stockpiled beforehand was enough for several lifetimes!
But he could still sell these—mosquito meat was still meat.
Chen Han’s movements quickly attracted more zombies.
One after another, they lunged at him like starving wolves.
“Perfect timing.”
With the Tang sword in hand, moving like a dragon, Chen Han killed more than a dozen zombies in just a few strikes.
His speed and precision left all survivors stunned.
“So strong!”
Many people looked at Chen Han with awe, but others fixed their gaze on the Tang sword.
Three burly men—all veteran [Doomsday Dawn] players—recognized the purple‑grade weapon, greed flashing in their eyes.
With that weapon, they could protect themselves—and even plunder more resources.
While Chen Han was still killing zombies, the three men suddenly made their move, charging toward him.
One of them lifted a table from the restaurant and smashed it toward Chen Han’s back.
Bang!
The moment the wooden table touched Chen Han, the protective suit emitted a purple energy shield.
When the table struck the shield, a damage value popped up.
[Damage -0.1]
Chen Han was completely unharmed, while the wooden table shattered.
Seeing this, the burly man froze, his throat bobbing nervously.
It was obvious now—the youth had not only a purple weapon but also purple armor!
The other two burly men gripping weapons also froze, trembling.
They were done for—they had kicked an iron plate.
Without hesitation, the three turned to flee!
Chen Han’s lips curled.
“If others don’t offend me, I don’t offend them.
But since you had wicked thoughts—you’ll pay the price!”
Chen Han dashed forward, instantly catching up.
The Tang sword flashed—three heads flew.
Their bodies collapsed with a thud, and above them floated three wooden chests.
Chen Han picked them up and glanced inside.
As expected of veteran players—there was plenty of food and crafting materials.
They must have spent a lot of money.
If not for their greed, these three could’ve survived well.
A pity.
Seeing Chen Han suddenly kill people, the survivors in the restaurant were terrified and ran far away.
Chen Han ignored them, checked the time—an airdrop was about to arrive.
Just as he prepared to head to the rooftop to wait for the airdrop, his phone rang.
The caller was Xiao Rou!
