System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor

This time, the System remained silent when asked by Liu Yun.

Receiving no answer, Liu Yun became even more anxious. Just as she was about to rush in headfirst to save Ru Jianxiao, she suddenly remembered the Random Item Card still sitting in her inventory.

Clasping her hands together, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "That’s right! The Random Item Card!"

Without wasting another second, she closed the System Mall and opened her inventory. Spotting the Random Item Card in the second slot, Liu Yun immediately pressed the [Use] button.

Ding!

[Do you wish to use: Random Item Card (White Grade) ×1?]

[Possible Reward: Special Random White Grade Item]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

When the notification appeared, Liu Yun immediately pressed the [Confirm] button.

A second later, another notification rang out.

Ding!

[Using Random Item Card (White Grade) ×1]

The Random Item Card dissolved into a beam of white light before disappearing from the inventory. A second later, another notification came.

Ding!

[Congratulations, Player! You have obtained Invisible Talisman (White Grade) ×3. The items have been sent to your inventory.]

After the notification disappeared, a new item appeared inside Liu Yun’s inventory. Clicking on the talisman icon, she opened its information panel.

Liu Yun looked at the three-dimensional image of the yellow talisman floating on the left side of the screen before reading the detailed description on the right.

[Invisible Talisman (White Grade)]

[Grade: White Grade]

[Category: Consumable Item]

[Origin: Cultivation World]

[Primary Effect: Grants complete visual invisibility.]

[Secondary Effect: Suppresses spiritual energy fluctuations, slightly conceals the user’s aura, and masks ordinary body scent.]

[Duration: 10 minutes]

[Cooldown: None]

[Limitation: Attacking immediately cancels the effect.]

[Usage Method 1: Attach the talisman to the body. Consumes 10 Mental Points.]

[Usage Method 2: Infuse a small amount of spiritual energy into the talisman.]

[A low-grade talisman crafted by novice talisman masters from the Cultivation World.

After activation, the talisman bends light around the user’s body, concealing their physical appearance and rendering them invisible for a short period.

Although it hides the user’s figure, it cannot completely erase their presence. Powerful cultivators, enhanced mutants, evolved zombies, or creatures with exceptional perception may still detect the user through sound, scent, spiritual sense, heat, or killing intent.

Among low-level rogue cultivators, this talisman is regarded as one of the most practical survival treasures.

"What disappears is merely your body. A true hunter can still hear your heartbeat."]

After reading the item’s description, Liu Yun’s eyes flickered thoughtfully.

’This Invisible Talisman comes from the Cultivation World? Does that mean this Apocalypse World isn’t the only world in this universe?’

She pondered the thought briefly before shaking her head. There were less than five minutes left to save Ru Jianxiao. She couldn’t afford to waste another second to think about this matter.

Taking an Invisible Talisman out of her inventory, Liu Yun immediately attached it to her chest.

The next instant, the talisman emitted a faint glow. Faint golden spiritual runes shimmered across the talisman before dissolving into her body, and her body gradually disappeared.

Looking down, she could only make out the faint outline of her hands.

"Heavens... this Invisible Talisman is amazing!" she exclaimed in admiration.

Now completely invisible, Liu Yun quickly said, "System, scan the area and find the safest route to the mission target."

A second later, the System replied, [Scanning in progress.]

Ding!

[Safe route found.]

As soon as the announcement finished, a three-dimensional map of the gas station appeared before Liu Yun, displaying two green routes.

After studying it for a moment, she realized that one route led directly to the mission target, while the other led toward the warehouse. Appreciating the System’s thoughtful planning, Liu Yun immediately followed the first route.

Meanwhile, Ru Jianxiao had already been beaten into a bloody mess.

Lying on the filthy ground covered with dust, trash, and his own blood, Ru Jianxiao gritted his teeth so tightly that they almost felt as if they would shatter.

’I am not reconciled! I haven’t taken my revenge yet! I can’t die here!’

Ru Jianxiao’s heart was filled with unwillingness, but his body had already reached its limit.

Standing before him, the bodyguard captain looked down at Ru Jianxiao.

Seeing that he neither moved nor made a sound, the captain emotionlessly ordered, "You two, find a secluded place and bury him. The rest of you, come with me to report to the Young Master."

"Yes, Captain."

Receiving the order, two bodyguards grabbed Ru Jianxiao by the arms and dragged him away, leaving a long trail of blood behind.

Turning around, the captain and the remaining bodyguards left the area.

Watching everything from the shadows, Liu Yun cursed inwardly, ’Beasts! They not only beat him half to death, but they even want to bury him alive!’

After cursing them, she glanced at the blue screen floating before her.

[Special Mission: Save Ru Jianxiao]

[Time Limit: 3 minutes 05 seconds]

[Reward: Unknown]

[Penalty: World Destruction Progress +5%]

[Status: Ongoing]

When she saw that less than three minutes remained on the special mission timer, a chill ran down Liu Yun’s spine. Clenching her fists, determination flickered in her eyes.

’No. I can’t waste any more time.’

Making up her mind, Liu Yun decided to find an opportunity to deal with the two bodyguards before saving Ru Jianxiao. Having made her decision, she didn’t hesitate any longer and followed them.

While Liu Yun was tailing them, the two bodyguards casually found a secluded place outside the gas station.

Looking at the desolate area surrounded by nothing but barren land, one of the bodyguards said, "Just leave him here to die. His blood will attract the zombies. They will finish him off for us."

Too lazy to dig a hole and bury Ru Jianxiao, the other bodyguard agreed without hesitation.

"Alright."

Throwing the half-dead Ru Jianxiao onto the ground, the two bodyguards turned around and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Liu Yun silently approached Ru Jianxiao. She waited for a moment to make sure the bodyguards hadn’t noticed her before opening the System Mall.

"System, is there any medicine that can heal his injuries?"
