Apocalypse: Everyone Levels Up, I Return to the Time Before the Server Opened

Chapter 26 - Explosion!



Chapter 26: Explosion!

Gas Cylinder was absolutely a deadly weapon!

Living in Hanxia, getting hold of firearms was incredibly difficult and extremely troublesome!

But a gas cylinder was easy to get!

Don’t underestimate it. Even in modern warfare, some countries still use these as makeshift bombs!

Someone once tested a fully loaded gas cylinder’s explosion power and found that it was equivalent to 145 kilograms of TNT!

That’s about three thousand grenades!

Absolutely terrifying!

And now It’s time to unleash its power!

Ye Qiu sprinted toward the center of the crater. Then, he suddenly stopped moving!

From all directions, Green-Eyed Tigers lunged at him!

Even more terrifying was the Rare Boss Deep Mountain Tiger Demon, charging at him with overwhelming force!

ROAR!!!

The sound was deafening!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu was completely surrounded by the beasts!

But then he suddenly smiled.

“Bye-bye!” Ye Qiu raised a hand and waved at the Deep Mountain Tiger Demon.

Then under its human-like expression of shock his figure vanished in an instant!

This was the effect of the Coward’s Cloak skill: Tactical Retreat!

BOOM!!!!!!

A towering inferno!

A deafening explosion!

The sound shattered the silence!

At that moment, the ground shook violently!

Flames coiled like dragons!

The beasts wailed in agony!

Atop Tiger Mountain was like the end of the world!

At the base of Tiger Mountain, Ning Qianjun and his younger sister, Ning Qingyue, stood guarding the entrance, preventing other players from going up.

“Brother, do you think that guy is really an NPC?” Ning Qingyue still couldn’t shake off the images from earlier.

That brawny NPC, which was overwhelmingly strong, had been instantly killed!

It was absurd!

She had seen it with her own eyes.

That same NPC had torn apart a Green-Eyed Tiger with his bare hands!

That dominant figure had been deeply imprinted in her mind. But now, before even a day had passed, he was gone!

All because an even more terrifying and powerful existence had appeared.

The mysterious person who had teamed up with them!

Ning Qianjun frowned, murmuring, “Maybe… But why would an NPC actively seek me out for cooperation?”

Ning Qingyue blinked, glancing toward Tiger Mountain.

Then she guessed, “Brother, do you remember? He first approached us right near Tiger Mountain!”

Ning Qianjun’s eyes lit up. Realization dawned.

“You’re right! That mysterious NPC must have come specifically for Tiger Mountain. We just got lucky, standing in the right place at the right time. And all the tasks he gave us were related to Tiger Mountain!”

Ning Qingyue giggled, “If I knew our luck was this good, I should’ve logged off and bought a lottery ticket!”

They attributed everything to luck.

ROAR!

From the top of Tiger Mountain, the Green-Eyed Tiger Beasts’ howls echoed downward!

Ning Qianjun, Ning Qingyue, and the surrounding players all looked up.

But Tiger Mountain was too tall, and the dense trees blocked their view.

“What exactly is this NPC trying to do?” Ning Qingyue muttered in confusion, “Digging holes on the mountaintop, making us guard the entrance, keeping other players out so mysterious…”

Ning Qianjun chuckled, “Does it matter? We just need to cooperate, cling to this golden thigh,

and level up to 10 within two weeks to leave the Novice Village!”

Ning Qingyue nodded but soon hesitated, “Brother, that NPC killed Zhao Hanyan once. With Zhao Hanyan’s vengeful personality, he will definitely retaliate if he gets the chance. That NPC might be in danger later!”

Ning Qianjun pondered, then nodded slightly. “That’s true. NPCs and players are different. Players just need time to grind and level up, but NPCs don’t. At this rate, it won’t be long before Zhao Hanyan outlevels that mysterious NPC.”

The two of them grew worried about Ye Qiu’s future.

Right now, NPCs were stronger than players.

But in just a few days, the top players’ levels would skyrocket.

At that point the balance of power in the Novice Village would completely flip.

BOOM!

Just as they spoke a massive explosion shook them to their core!

The ground trembled.

The siblings nearly lost their footing!

Other nearby players looked up in horror.

In the pitch-black night, atop Tiger Mountain, a mushroom cloud of flames erupted!

Huge boulders tumbled down!

Trees were blown away!

A wave of scorching heat swept over them, even from a hundred meters away!

“What the hell just happened?!” The few players around at night stared in shock.

Many of them hurriedly used the game’s recording function to capture the scene!

“Holy shit…”

Ning Qianjun and Ning Qingyue watched the spectacle in absolute disbelief.

They turned to each other, gulped, and exchanged stunned glances.

They knew this had to be related to that mysterious NPC!

Meanwhile, halfway up Tiger Mountain and behind a massive boulder, Ye Qiu reappeared.

Ding!

[Your level has increased by 1.]

[Your HP and attributes have improved.]

Ding!

[Your level has increased by 1…]

Ding!

[Your level has increased by 1…]

In an instant, Ye Qiu’s level shot from 8 to 11!

And that wasn’t all.

Ding!

[Congratulations on killing the Rare BOSS “Deep Mountain Tiger Demon.”]

[You have gained 15 Reputation Points.]

Ding!

[You are the first player in Trial City to kill a Rare BOSS.]

[You receive an additional 300 Reputation Points and 50 Gold Coins.]

Ding!

[As the first player to kill a Rare BOSS, you may send three global announcements

to inform all players of your achievement. Would you like to broadcast your name?]

“Same as last time with an anonymous announcement.” Ye Qiu was covered in dust and soot,

but his face was filled with ecstasy.

It worked!!!

Bringing real-world items into the game actually worked for killing monsters!

If…

Ye Qiu’s breathing quickened.

If he could get a nuclear bomb, wouldn’t he be able to “peacefully” conquer the Novice Village?!

Maybe even hit Level 50 instantly?!

But then he quickly shook his head.

In his past life, when the game merged with reality, some of Earth’s most powerful weapons

still existed.

And one day someone actually used a nuke!

The result? Countless NPCs and players were wiped out.

The user themselves was gravely wounded and instantly red-named.

In the end, they were struck down by divine punishment, obliterated by the system itself!

Ye Qiu took a deep breath.

That path was not an option.

Even worse some NPCs were over Level 100 and could literally crush a nuke with one hand!
