I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 271: School Flag

Translator: 549690339 |

With the flagpole wrapped in black fog, it slowly drifted upward. At the top of the flagpole, Song Jian canceled the black fog state.

In an instant, a massive pressure acted on Song Jian’s body, adding at least 300 kilograms of weight on him.

Such terrible gravity could instantly crush Song Jian, but luckily he was prepared. The moment he canceled the black fog state, he grabbed the school flag and slid down the flagpole.

Boom~

In the end, Song Jian fell from the flagpole, his back slammed hard on the ground, causing intense pain and a damage value of over 200 points floating above his head.

“Damn, he actually got it!”

“What just happened? How did he turn into a mass of black fog? Wasn’t it said that he cannot leave the flagpole? What’s going on?”

“Yeah, last time, someone turned into a crow and flew to the top, and the task failed. Why is it fine this time?”

“Maybe it’s because he didn’t leave the flagpole even if he turned into black fog? Is that still counted as climbing?”

Nobody cared when Song Jian fell from the flagpole, but as soon as he grabbed the school flag, it caused an uproar among the onlookers. It was known that as early as half a month ago, someone had discovered this task, but none could complete it.

Having lost its flag, the school square was left with only a bare flagpole standing there, looking somewhat desolate.

“Fifth Middle School Flag (White): Two-handed weapon, evolvable, equipment effect: Agility +1, movement speed increased by 15%, defense increased by 10%; special effect 1: alumni team up (active): designate five people as alumni, team up, all attributes increased by 20% after teaming up; special effect 2: Brilliant Aura (passive), the flag holder and his teammates will receive the Brilliant Aura effect; Brilliant Aura, attack speed increased by 5%, damage +5; requirement: Level 1; can be taken out of the game: no”

“Another evolvable item?” Song Jian’s eyes shone brightly. In this game, there were only a few evolvable items. He didn’t expect to get one accidentally.

“A two-handed weapon, perfect, my main weapon slot has been empty. It’s perfect to be equipped.” Song Jian happily placed the school flag in his main weapon slot.

In fact, Song Jian’s most commonly used weapon was the one-handed sword in his right hand. He hadn’t found any equipment with exceptionally good attributes for the two-handed weapon slot, so it remained empty. Now, although this school flag had no damage, the attributes it increased were excellent, and for Song Jian, it was even better than a two-handed weapon.

After equipping the school flag, it appeared on Song Jian’s back with the words “Fifth Middle School” written on it. It looked somewhat funny, but the increased attributes were impressive. Especially now, there was a faint white halo under Song Jian’s feet that kept spreading out like ripples, disappearing slowly after three feet.

Looking at the 3D model in his personal attribute column, Song Jian frowned. Having a flag stuck to his back was too conspicuous. Soon, he set the school flag to hide, and it slowly disappeared from his back but still maintained its effect.

“Let’s go, Qi Yun, let’s search the school first and complete the task immediately,” Song Jian said with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of several players, Song Jian and Qi Yun headed straight for the school laboratory.

As Song Jian’s figure disappeared, the players discussed the event, and the news of the Fifth Middle School flag being taken began to spread in the area.

Song Jian didn’t pay attention to those players and went straight into the school according to the task instructions. A few players wanted to follow them, hoping to take advantage of the situation. However, when they saw Song Jian and Qi Yun enter the school, they all stopped.

Everything inside and outside the school had been searched several times, and everything valuable had been taken away. No one could be bothered to make a secret room in the school, as it wasn’t like those mansions.

“Wiry are they going in there? The place has been searched hundreds of times,” someone asked curiously.

“You know it’s been searched, but they don’t. If they don’t see it for themselves, would they be at ease? Weren’t you the same when you first went in to search?” A companion rolled his eyes and glanced at him.

“That wasn’t because I didn’t trust you, I was…” The man’s face reddened, and he hurriedly explained.

“Alright, don’t explain. An explanation is just a cover-up. I reckon they’ll be out in no time anyway. The place has been licked clean by dogs, other than a few useless tables, chairs, and bottles…”

As expected, a while later, Song Jian led Qi Yun out of the school, expressionless.

The players looked at each other with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

In fact, the apparatuses were just ordinary background items in the eyes of other players, but from the perspective of Song Jian, who had accepted the task, their status changed. As Song Jian approached, the items would all become task items and even emit a faint light to remind him to pick them up.

In the school, Song Jian obtained three task items and had to search elsewhere for the rest.

Once he got the items, any identical objects in other places would disappear from the task map. Only the items Song Jian hadn’t picked up would appear on the map.

Both of them proceeded to the Level-15 monster area. Here, players were few and far between, and monsters were abundant. They moved cautiously but eventually attracted the attention of the monsters.

At first, it was only three or four mutated zombies, but once they started fighting, the noise attracted all the surrounding mutated zombies. In no time, there were hundreds of monsters blocking their path.

They were forced to retreat, killing and stopping intermittently, ending up back in the Level-10 monster area.

After two more attempts, they couldn’t get to the location indicated on the task map.

“You wait here, or go back to the manor first. I’ll go try it alone!” Song Jian said to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun nodded, and as she watched Song Jian’s retreating figure, her face went through a series of emotions. Finally, she sighed and turned to walk towards the safe house. Although she was already Level 12, without the silver sniper rifle, she could barely protect herself. At most, she could hunt Level 5 or 6 monsters. These Level-10 monsters were still a bit difficult to handle.

Just when she was about to leave, a figure emerged from a small alley nearby, shrouded in a gray cloak, his face hidden by it.

“Are you really content with being his slave?” The man’s voice was hoarse, but Qi Yun recognized him immediately. She turned abruptly and said in a low voice, “Captain!”
