Apocalypse: System of lotteries

" Everyone unveil your countenances! Is life or one's visage of greater importance? "

"Reveal your faces; discern the zombies!"

Bruno and Torena, having defeated the overlord-level creature, immediately sprinted among the crowd, exclaiming.

In truth, after a bout of panic, some had already discovered this method and began willingly unveiling their faces. After all, it was the most straightforward approach. However, others were too scared even to consider this. Upon hearing the reminder, they hastily removed their kerchiefs and makeshift masks, baring their faces completely.

Elementalists of various elements showed their unique visages: faces laden with frost, adorned with leaves, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and smeared with mud...

There are also the diverse faces of non-humans: those covered in scales, sprouting feathers, or possessing insect-like mandibles.

They all looked at one another.

"..."

For a moment, everyone's expressions were rich with emotion as they felt their neighbors appear more frightening than the zombies. But they also noticed those still needing to remove their masks and kerchiefs.

"Those who haven't removed masks are the zombies! Kill them!"

"What if they aren't?"

"Better to err on caution and not let anyone escape!"

"Kill!"

"..."

Everyone began hunting the zombies from the earlier chaos to the recent astonishment.

Bruno and Torena continued sprinting and shouting, passing by a man with a crimson-hued body. They simultaneously cast admiring glances at him. "You, my friend, have truly bared all! Stripped to the skin without a hair left, you are the epitome of thoroughness!"

Jeremy glanced at them, thinking, "Do you believe I wanted this?"

At this moment, Hecate noticed Jeremy; his entire body flushed red, and even his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and he feared he might also be a zombie. She gulped down another vial of mental potion.

"fireball!"

Hecate roared, her lithe body twisting as she brandished her narrow sword.

Jeremy fled in panic, thinking, "What great enmity do we have, sister? Being burned once should be enough. Are you addicted to it now?"

On the other side, Ming charged into the crowd, slashing at the overlord-level zombies. He sawed through legs, arms, and torsos, bisecting waists. Once the zombie's health bar reached zero, he swung his chainsaw to decapitate it.

Standing up, covered in gore, Ming turned to the stunned onlookers, hoisting his chainsaw, saying, "Fear not, I am a good person, and I have slain the zombies."

"..."

The crowd watched as he walked away, his chainsaw dripping blood and leaving behind bloody footprints. They weren't afraid of zombies; they merely found him terrifying. In their minds, good people didn't do such things.

David addressed the crowd, "What are you waiting for? Fight!"

Whoosh!

The crowd dispersed, joining other battle circles. At this point, winged individuals soared overhead, wielding crossbows or launching elemental attacks. On the ground, the defenders stood at the front while elementalists stood at the rear, each profession cooperating to surround and kill the zombies. However, with those people varying strengths, injuries were inevitable.

"Those who are injured, buy fast-acting virus inhibitors!"

"Hey, you flying up there. Be more careful with your fire, will you?"

"I only had a few strands of hair left! You burned them all off!"

"You imbecile! I trapped the zombies with an ice chain, and you, as a fire Elementalist, cast fire? You turned it all into steam!"

Although the zombies had been identified and the crowd began to surround and attack them, awkward situations still arose due to the evident lack of coordination among the various professions.

"The last one!"

"Must Kill, and it's doomed!"

"Close combat, stay back! Ranged attackers, focus fire!"

"Kill!"

"..."

Ming stood on the outskirts, watching as various attacks bombarded the zombies. Its clothes burst and shattered in an instant, followed by its health bar reaching zero. Finally, a winged human flying above hurled a spear, impaling the creature's head.

"Victory!"

"It's finally over!"

"Let's celebrate with drinks tonight!"

"Why are you touching my face? Haven't you seen a hedgehog face before?"

"..."

Some people waved at Ming and David, who had led the charge and were among the first to maintain order.

"Who is that guy?"

"I don't know, but we might have remained in chaos for a while longer without him."

"Who's that, standing beside him with a soil-covered face?"

"I don't know. Let's call him 'Soliman.'"

[Global Broadcast: Congratulations to Zone 402 for achieving the shared BOSS first kill! Their respective zone's fog dissipates by 3%, granting all members 7,000 experience points and 3,000 gold coins as rewards.]

"..."

"Why didn't we get a notification when we finished too?"

"Shouldn't it have been simultaneous?"

"Could it be... it's not over yet?"

"Be careful, everyone! Zone 109 hasn't finished yet!"

"..."

Hum!

A white radiance descended once more, and a figure nearly 3 meters tall emerged from the pillar of light. He was Clad in a black cloak with red trim, and the figure wore a black tailcoat underneath, topped with a round-brimmed black hat. He held a magic wand in his left hand, while in his right, he toyed with a deck of playing cards. A pair of deep purple eyes twinkled mysteriously.

"Damn it; everyone falls back! Defenders, move forward!"

"Don't retreat; focus fire on him!"

"..."

Ming quickly scanned the enemy using [Eagle Eye]:

"Spread out!" Ming shouted.

"Spread out?"

​ Without hesitation, David immediately yelled to those around him, "Spread out! Everyone spread out!"

"Spread out!!"

The group fighting alongside Ming and David against the zombies instantly echoed their call, shouting and pulling people away from the area.

At the same time, King-level Magician Caesar raised his magic wand and pointed it forward. A circular tent with a diameter of 50 meters materialized and descended, covering those who had not managed to retreat in time. The tent door closed shut.

The performance began.
