My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

Chapter 56: Wall Walking

The impact of bricks and debris slamming into his body instantly gave Joo Joowon the horrifying sensation that all his internal organs had shifted out of place.

Ignoring the pain completely, he rolled away from his original position without hesitation.

In the next instant, the spider zombie spat another pool of highly corrosive venom.

The liquid instantly melted through the fallen debris and even carved deep pits into the floor itself, releasing an unbearable foul odor.

Joo Joowon had no time to feel lingering fear.

Immediately, he fired a crossbow bolt toward the spider zombie’s upper body.

Without even checking whether it had died or not, he instantly turned around and retreated again, disappearing back into another blind spot.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Joo Joowon finally heard the long awaited system notification sound.

[ Ding! ]

[ Congratulations! You have killed a Level 5 Lord Rank Boss Chimera Spider ]

[ EXP +48 ]

[ Silver Coin +1 ]

[ World Announcement: Congratulations to player Ashfall for achieving the world’s first Lord Rank Boss kill. This announcement is hereby broadcast. Player Ashfall has gained Reputation +1 and has been awarded the title [The First Flame Within Endless Darkness] ]

The system announcement repeated three times in a row, making players all over the world remember that name.

"Cough, cough..."

Joo Joowon covered his chest, having no time to care about anything else.

He immediately opened his attribute panel and added the attribute point he had just obtained from leveling up into Physique.

Only then did he finally feel a little better.

Before hearing the system notification, Joo Joowon had never relaxed his guard for even a moment.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to hide behind the wall.

Since the distance had already been widened and the spider boss was severely injured, he believed the risk should not have been too high.

The creature was no longer in peak condition.

With the short burst capability provided by his seven points of Agility and seven points of Strength, no matter how he thought about it, he should have been able to dodge the attack.

But he truly had not expected the spider zombie to still be hiding another trick.

In that emergency moment, the only thing he could do was raise his arm shield to block.

Fortunately, Joo Joowon had already been wearing thick clothing to begin with.

That gave him a certain amount of cushioning and protection, so he did not suffer serious injuries like broken bones.

While enduring the pain, Joo Joowon stood up from the ground.

He picked up the fire extinguisher and sprayed the spider zombie wildly.

After the extinguisher completely ran out, he directly tossed it aside, reached into the blue beam of light, grabbed all the dropped cards, and quickly left the scene.

If something this huge happened before the apocalypse, countless people would definitely have rushed over to watch the excitement already.

But after the apocalypse, things were different.

Everyone was an adult.

People naturally understood the logic of "when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer too."

However, once the noise completely stopped, the situation would become much harder to predict.

Right now, many players did not even possess beginner equipment yet.

Under those circumstances, equipment dropped by a boss was more than enough to make even ordinary honest looking people suddenly turn violent.

Not to mention that Joo Joowon’s original combat strength was already nowhere near enough for him to fight ten people alone.

Now that he was injured, it became even more impossible.

And the aftermath of this battle was not limited to that alone.

The collapsed wall now allowed rainwater to drift into the building effortlessly.

It also created convenient openings for flying creatures.

Because of that, the entire apartment building had become unsafe.

After returning to his apartment, Joo Joowon removed the heavy equipment covering his body.

He poured hot water from the thermos, mixed it with ibuprofen, and drank it down before finally picking up the cards to inspect them carefully.

His injuries were not truly severe.

Joo Joowon clearly understood how terrifying the final struggle of a cornered beast could become.

However, even external injuries were still extremely painful.

The pain was far from ordinary.

Before going to inspect the spider zombie earlier, Joo Joowon had deliberately removed the Molotov cocktails from his backpack in order to avoid carrying too many items that might hinder his movements.

Only the cotton stuffing used to protect the Molotov cocktails remained packed tightly inside the bag.

Fortunately, Joo Joowon had the foresight to prepare in advance.

Otherwise, all the expensive Molotov cocktails he had spent so much money buying would have been completely ruined.

And the most serious injury he suffered throughout the entire battle was merely getting struck by falling bricks.

However, beneath his winter coat, Joo Joowon was also wearing a bulletproof vest, and underneath that was a thick wool sweater.

On top of that, he was not the type of person who was frighteningly skinny to begin with.

Because of that, the impact was nowhere near enough to cause truly severe injuries.

It was just that Joo Joowon’s tolerance for pain was not especially high.

Ever since finding an office job where he could sit indoors all day, aside from the permanently sun tanned skin he could never fully whiten again, his lifestyle could basically be described as rather comfortable and pampered.

If not for the extra attribute point gained from leveling up and adding it into Physique, he probably would have needed a long while before recovering properly.

Although the encounter had been filled with unexpected danger, the rewards he gained were also extremely generous.

There were a total of five cards.

Among them were two blue cards, one green card, and two white cards.

The two blue cards were: Zombie Core and Spider Web Launcher.

The green card was: Zombie Virus Immunity Serum.

The two white cards were: Full Recovery Serum and Equipment Shoes.

There was not much to say about the Zombie Core.
