It might have been induced or not, but it sure was effective. Everyone was asleep, maybe peaceful or maybe not, but everyone was asleep.
Tang Zhan was no exception to this, he might have had a better resistance but it was of no use, as he was knocked out seconds after Yufei and Banjo.
This had happened everywhere, taking most by surprise while some has some little resistance to be able to see bright red.
Exactly three hours later everyone woke up, the level of perfection simply outstanding. Everyone felt well rested and even lightheaded.
Across the wilderness, giant walls could be seen surrounded a large area. The wall was crude and roughly made, jagged out edges and rural, but it was thick in width.
It's width could not be laughed at, as it was as thick as a car.
Going past the walls, some few houses could be seen scattered around the inside of the protective walls.
The people here were also getting up from the ground as they too had fallen asleep and were just waking up.
They were all wondering how they had fallen asleep carelessly in this kind of dangerous era.
Beside a small house a man was helping a woman get up while dusting the dried mud on her body.
"tsk, the water we managed to fetch has poured away, now we have to wait in line for water to drink" The woman complained, her eyes were bloodshot as if she had cried overnight without getting a wink of sleep. Her long chestnut brown hair was messy and unkept.
She arranged her glasses, and the little freckles were hidden under the lens of the glasses.
"Don't worry we can still fetch another one, okay?" the rugged voice of the man swept by, his black hair mixed with slight white blower along with the wind. He had a small stubble beard and trimmed mustache.
"at least we're still safe!" the man said but was suddenly confused as the woman jerked her hands off his, and pointed it at him, while jabbing at his chest.
"safe, are you really talking about safety when our children aren't... Yufei can still cope but what of Zhan'er, who is going to help a blind person in this apocalypse, who!?"
The man raised his hands in a surrendering manner.
"I know our children might not be safe, but we should still have hope" the man said trying to make her see reason in his words, but it didn't seem to help the situation.
"hope! Our only hope was thrown out the window when you decided to leave the office, who knows maybe Zhan'er already went to the office to find us, and here you are talking about hope and safety when you should go out there to find my children!" the woman's complaints finally got to the man as a vein popped up on his head.
"go out there, woman are you sick can't you see wh-" the man speech was cut off suddenly, he had glanced to the gate when he was talking and that was when he noticed the smoke rising in the distance.
Others too had noticed the smokes and were heading to the walls, not to go outside but to climb, the wall had some old imitation of an elevator Incase they wanted to see from top.
The man held his wife's hand not caring about their ongoing argument, and ran towards the walls to go on top.
After a while they got up and looked towards where the smokes were coming from, which was from every direction.
As they looked on to the cause of the smokes, like the others standing there with them, their jaws fell.
Back in the city Tang Zhan and the rest had woken up and like every other person, they were also wondering why they had fallen asleep.
"I remember I saw a bright red light before I slept off, let's check what it was" Tang Zhan said to his two teammates. Due to the curtains being closed they couldn't see what was happening outside, so they have to either open the curtains or go outside, into the compound.
"I don't remember seeing anything though!" Yufei objected, her hands crossed over her chest.
" how come you are the only one seeing things, brother?" Yufei said with a pout before she starting to murmur to herself.
Opening the curtains did not occur to anyone of them, as they believed their compound was the safest, not only was the mansion sound proofed but the compound was wide that no sound made could attract the zombies over.
So that was why they had confidently walked and opened the door without any care in the world.
As the door opened Tang Zhan could finally feel it like he had gone to a different world, a hot world.
"Aahhh!" Tang Yufei since her very small age had practiced swordsmanship and so lacked any type of unbefitting fear regular girls should have.
But never in her life would she have thought she would be this frightened to the point where she would pee herself.
Banjo and Tang Zhan followed the sound of liquid hitting the floor and they traced it to Yufei, but after seeing her trembling body and her her outstretched hands they had to follow and see what she was pointing at.
Their eyes widened.
Right in their compound, a meteorite was lodged in half deep into the ground and around this meteorite was an entity that looked like it was brought straight out of hell.
The meteorite itself was purple in colour and was still engulfed in bright purple flames.
The entity had five eyes, two on each side and one at the middle where the nose should be, it's mouth was like melted candy.
It had four arms, two legs and a tail, at the end of the tail was a head just like the main head. On its back was wings, featherless bony wings and at the end of each wings was also a head, and the wings numbered up to four, and it was also purple in colour.
Tang Zhan seeing this, knew he had to protect his sister, so he summoned his scythe.
[Fragmented scythe is above the power cap for phase one... access denied]
"what do you mean access denied for the whole phase one, that's like thirty days from now!" Tang Zhan couldn't help his fury but shout out, forgetting the situation he was in.
The entity looked over at Tang Zhan, and the three of them system panel was brought up.
[You have discovered the dealer, they sell whatever you might want to buy.

You are the first three to have discovered a purple dealer, 200 killer points given each.]
The purple entity now known as a dealer looked at them without even moving in the slightest.
"if the dealers are for buying then what's the use of the shop in our panel?" Tang Zhan questioned the system.
[Shop is for user to create things depending on the resources he has]
"oh, that explains it"
Tang Zhan walked up to the dealer, Yufei didn't care if she had peed herself she ran after her brother and pulled him back.
"What are you trying to do, what if it attacks you!?" Yufei yelled at Tang Zhan no longer afraid of shouted.
"of course I am going to test the dealer and see what type of goods he deals with" Tang Zhan sarcastically replied her knowing it was going to irk her.
"better go get changed, you don't wanna scare me dealer away with your pee, do you?" Tang Zhan teased knowing he had hit a spot.
Yufei covered her face with her hands and sprinted back inside to get changed. While Tang Zhan and Banjo only chuckled at her childish behavior.
Tang Zhan proceeded again until he was right in front of the purple dealer.
"I would like to buy a... good!"
