Chapter 71: System Host

Pulling open the heavy metal door, Ruan Weisong walked into the secret vault.

In the center of the vault, there was a metal suitcase placed inside a glass display case.

Standing in front of the display case, Ruan Weisong entered a long password into the security lock.

Beep!

Seeing the red light turn green, he opened the glass display case, then took out the metal suitcase. Opening his backpack, Ruan Weisong carefully put the metal suitcase inside.

When he was done, he left the secret vault, locked it, then jumped down from the ceiling.

Standing on top of the wooden cabinet, he closed the ceiling and locked it again with his fingerprints.

Carrying his backpack, he jumped down from the wooden cabinet and said, "Let’s go."

With that, the team left the building as quietly as they had arrived.

Hiding in the shadows, Liu Yun watched them walk away and sighed in disappointment. ’The treasure must be gone by now.’

"Younger Sister Liu, let’s go and check the room again," Gu Zhenwei said, then went back to the office room.

Although she had already guessed what had happened, Liu Yun still hoped that the treasure was there, so she followed Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng back to the office room.

However, when she saw that the ceiling had returned to its original position, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

"Elder Brothers, there’s no need to check it anymore. Ruan Weisong should have found the treasure."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenwei sighed in disappointment. "Ah, what a waste of time."

Patting his shoulder, Lan Zuancheng said, "It’s alright. Although we failed to find the treasure, there are a lot of supplies in the warehouses. We won’t return empty-handed today."

When he heard this, Gu Zhenwei’s eyes lit up. He nodded and eagerly said, "Let’s go, let’s go. This time, we shouldn’t let them get the supplies first."

"Alright!"

Afraid that Ruan Weisong would take all the supplies, the three of them hurriedly left the office building using another emergency stairwell.

At the same time, Lian Tianci and his team were in the middle of an intense fight against thousands of zombies.

Chased by a horde of zombies, Lian Tianci quickly scanned his surroundings. When he saw a two-story warehouse not far from them, he pointed toward it and shouted, "Run there!"

When the soldiers heard this, they sped up.

A few meters behind them, more and more zombies gathered.

Glancing back, one of the soldiers said tensely, "Captain! More and more zombies are gathering here!"

Hearing this, Lian Tianci glanced back and noticed that the number of zombies chasing after them had indeed increased significantly compared to ten minutes ago.

Gritting his teeth, he ordered, "Don’t stop! Keep running!"

Ten minutes ago, when Lian Tianci and his team were clearing the zombies around the warehouse near the entrance, three black armored cars suddenly drove past them.

Not only did they attract a large number of zombies, but those people even intentionally drove toward his team, forcing them to fight the zombies.

While they were busy fighting for their lives, one of those people suddenly threw out a loudspeaker that was promoting tissue sales, instantly attracting even more zombies.

Recalling what had happened ten minutes ago, Lian Tianci almost ground his teeth into dust.

’If I find out who that person is, I will cut that bastard into a thousand pieces!’

While they were running for their lives, Liu Yun, Lan Zuancheng, and Gu Zhenwei chose the opposite direction from Ruan Weisong and his team.

Just when the three of them were on their way to the nearest warehouse, the System’s mechanical voice suddenly rang in Liu Yun’s mind.

[Player, we failed to find the identity of the one who attacked us.]

When Liu Yun heard this, her expression turned serious.

Based on her interactions with the System over the past few days, she knew that her System was very powerful. Not only did it have the Multiverse Farmland feature, but it could also provide items from other worlds.

For the System to be unable to find out who was attacking it meant that the attacker either possessed a stronger ability or had deeper knowledge and more advanced technology than the System.

Thinking about this, Liu Yun’s heart sank. After a brief moment of silence, she asked while running, ’System, is it possible for other Systems to exist in this world at the same time as you?’

[Yes.]

Receiving the System’s straightforward answer, Liu Yun realized that her guess about other players existing in this Apocalypse World might be right.

Clenching her wooden stick, she thought for a moment, then said, ’System, we got attacked when I used Heaven’s Eyes on that woman. Could it be that she is also a player like me?’

[Player, there is only one player in this Apocalypse World, which is you.]

Frowning slightly, Liu Yun continued, ’Since she isn’t a player, then... she is a System host?’

[The possibility of that assumption is very high.]

Now that Liu Yun had received the System’s confirmation, she thoughtfully said, ’Since that is the case, then the foreign intervention should be caused by her and her System.’

As she thought, inside her sea of consciousness, the System looked at countless virtual blue screens filled with red codes and data, busy waving its virtual hands. A few seconds passed before the red codes and data returned to normal.

Floating in the air, the System said, [Player, I have planted a tracking system on the attacker. We can track the attacker’s position from now on.]

When Liu Yun heard this, she gave the System a thumbs-up in her heart. ’System, you are amazing!’

Praised by her, the System emotionlessly said, [Thank you for your praise, Player, but I think you should check the map.]

Raising her brows curiously, Liu Yun quickly opened her map.

The moment she looked at the map, she tripped and almost fell flat on the ground.

"Be careful!" Lan Zuancheng grabbed Liu Yun’s arm just in time before she hit the ground. Looking at her, he worriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

"Mhm," Liu Yun nodded absentmindedly, then continued running behind them.

Lowering her eyes to look at the map displayed on the blue screen, she couldn’t help but swallow hard.

’Grass! This golden dot is as big as a thumb!’
