Chapter 206: Trapped in the Hungry Ghost Apocalypse!
Chapter 206: Falling into the dungeon "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"!
"Jiang Qian...Jiang Qian!"
Her body gradually lost control, and Jiang Qian fell into Ye Xiaojing's arms. With the rare loss of control and anxiety in her voice, her consciousness returned to darkness.
The expected feeling of weightlessness.
What follows is the copy information:
[Player ID: Qianlong, do not use]
[What you matched this time is copy number AM2012 "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"]
[Type: Multiple Death]
[Difficulty Level: Nightmare]
[Betting chips: Life*1/Super crystal*30 (three states)]
[Introduction: This is a world on the verge of destruction due to expanded desires and evil thoughts. When more and more human beings put aside their dignity and bottom line on the stage of competing for interests, and use means such as oppression, deception, and terrorist threats to walk around the world, A nightmare catastrophe occurred. 】
[People don't even know how "it" happens: some humans are "transforming" into another species: ferocious, greedy, hunting their own kind for food... People call them "crawlers". 】
[As a result, the world order was rewritten, a large number of humans died or were transformed, and a species war broke out. 】
[The city you came to is called "Lotus City". 】
[Three years have passed since the disaster. A small-scale human settlement has formed here. The survivors of white, yellow and black races interact with dangerous species in an extremely backward, difficult and restricted way of survival. Checks and balances. 】
[People who are trying to survive will never think that a worse situation is brewing...]
…
[Main mission: Survive in the dungeon for 72 days (converted to real world time: 1 day in the Hungry Ghost End = 1 hour in reality)]
…
[Please complete your bet selection first. 】
"Super Crystal, thank you."
[The bet is completed. 】
This copy is not in memory. In other words, I was pulled into a copy that had not yet been archived in the official database... As his body continued to fall, Jiang Qian quickly sorted out all the information given by the copy:
First of all, this is a nightmare (A) level multiplayer dungeon, so there is no surprise for me; but Xue Yang, who was recruited at the same time as me, is a novice who has only passed ordinary C-level dungeons. If nothing else, , this guy will be chewed to bits by the nightmare copy.
I need to find Xue Yang as soon as possible to clarify the situation of his super crystal before making plans.
And the culprit who caused us to fall into this situation is most likely hiding in the dungeon.
At the moment, the exploration of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" is secondary. Whether it is a new dungeon like "Ace" or a dungeon that has not been conquered by official colleagues... Since it is not a ceiling-level hell dungeon, it is not difficult to escape intact.
Jiang Qian objectively assessed.
"Yes, but if you are unlucky and encounter the 'low-frequency copy' that Sister Xiaojing calls, it will be a bit troublesome."
Jiang Qian reviewed the evil rumors about low-frequency copies that Ye Xiaojing had given him and sighed softly:
"Just improvise."
Judging from the only introduction content, this seems to be a classic world view similar to Resident Evil.
Of course, it's never that simple.
Different from the "Resident Evil" story background that Jiang Qian is familiar with, the copy "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" does not give the specific background and cause of the disaster, but repeatedly hints that the factors leading to the apocalypse are: human greed and lack of bottom line.
Hungry ghost, greedy, no bottom line...
Jiang Qian naturally connected it with the various mutated events he had been exposed to recently.
Different fragments emerge from the depths of memory:
The slender back of the girl with double swords trembles faintly as she eats her prey alive; the nine-tailed fox and her darlings who are carefully trained and trained; Chen Bodong and Juanjuan who are hungry out of control...
Is it a coincidence?
Jiang Qian tried to get to the bottom of things:
The long-faced mutant is the trigger of the anchor props. He should have the ability to decide which dungeon we fall into, otherwise he would not show that arrogant face in the end.
So, why is this copy "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"?
Hiding in a dungeon is not a long-term solution. What can that guy get from this dungeon, which will help him escape in reality, stay away from official pursuit, and even complete his revenge on me.
If you want to clarify these mysteries, you must complete the necessary homework during the 72 days of the main mission.
Jiang Qian drew his attention back to the rare copy "duration":
This instance requires players to survive for 72 days.
72 days, what is the concept? Nearly a quarter!
This kind of span is actually rare in survival dungeons for people below the elite level.
This led Jiang Qian to formulate some hypotheses: Compared with some dungeons that drive straight into the game, is "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" more immersive games that require in-depth experience such as clue solving and human conflicts?
Does it also mean that this dungeon, which is set to last 72 days, contains a lot of information and clues, and each player needs to explore his own way of survival?
So it can be imagined that from the first second after entering the copy, observation, analysis, judgment, and weighing begin.
If this is the case, Xue Yang's survival rate may be questioned again.
It's not that Xue Yang isn't smart enough, but that he lacks experience in dungeon strategy and has limited personal survivability in extreme environments.
Out of respect for the privacy of the identity tag, he had not deliberately learned about Xue Yang's identity tag and super-species abilities. It was difficult to grasp Xue Yang's survival probability for a while.
"Anyway, Xue Yang was dragged into the dungeon because of me. He didn't need to go through this evolutionary selection that was beyond his level. We must find him as soon as possible."
As Jiang Qian thought of this, his feet slowly landed.
We have arrived at the station.
...
The things in front of him gradually became clear.
Jiang Qian suddenly found that he was in front of an abandoned bus stop beside the outdoor highway.
It was daytime, around nine or ten in the morning.
The sun shone on the deserted road, weeds covered the curbs, and even a dilapidated bus parked not far away was covered with moss and obviously poisonous fungi.
Looking back, the words on the bus stop have been completely blocked by plants.
"Nothing special."
After objectively evaluating this simple starting environment, Jiang Qian was about to take out a pen and pick apart the creepers to identify the words on the bus stop...
But he found that the prop locker was in the "disabled" state!
"It's starting to get a little exciting..."
The ban on props at the beginning is not good news for super-species players.
But for Jiang Qian, what is more interesting is that the bell he held in his hand before being pulled in also appeared in his locker! This shows that the bell itself is also a prop with super-species attributes.
In addition, the watch his sister gave him also appeared in the locker...
Jiang Qian was silent.
Only objects related to the super-species world can be put into the locker.
And that watch is indeed lying in the locker, occupying a grid.
My sister didn't find something dirty...A cold and fierce look flashed in Jiang Qian's eyes.
After all, Yu Xuan was a public figure, and she has the aura of a rich woman. It is inevitable to come into contact with super-species people in daily communication.
I have to find out where this thing came from, including my sister's network of relationships, and I have to check it secretly...Jiang Qian secretly made plans.
With the protection of the demon clones and the official endorsement of the license holder, Jiang Qian has always been more assured of the safety of his family. Especially since the peacock spider incident came to an end, his attention to his family has decreased. Now it seems that it is too early.
But all these will be discussed after the dungeon is over.
Focusing on the current situation: the props cannot be used for the time being.
Fortunately, the super-species ability can still be activated.
Jiang Qian tried the clairvoyance, sneaking snake, fangs and scales in turn... After a set of micro-manipulations, he was actually a little tired.
He swallowed his saliva, manually cut off the plants that blocked the bus stop sign, and saw some key stations on the sign clearly:
"120 special line... Economic Development Zone, Shibei Supermarket, No. 1 Middle School, Hospital, Farmer's Market, Automobile Factory, Passenger Station..."
I am in the Economic Development Zone, well, it is the Economic Development Zone that has just been auctioned and the development progress is zero... Jiang Qian looked at the bus covered with "grass" and complained mercilessly.
Three years after the disaster, I wonder if this bus can still be driven?
At least I won't get lost if I drive along the bus stop sign, but it would be better if I could have a map...
Jiang Qian then opened the clairvoyance while approaching the bus.
However, when two overlapping and interacting figures appeared in his spiritual vision, his steps stopped.
At this time, Jiang Qian had approached the back door of the bus, leaning against the body of the bus, with the window above his head half open. As a result, a strange and fragmentary chewing sound continued to enter Jiang Qian's ears:
"Crunch, crunch"...
Like a dog gnawing on a bone.
However, in Jiang Qian's vision, the one gnawing on the bone was not a "dog", but a "human".
It's nothing.
In the end-time environment, cannibalism is not uncommon.
However, the one who appeared in Jiang Qian's vision across the car skin at this time was not a human in the strict sense.
It was more like... a metamorphosis!
Jiang Qian's eyes were focused.
No human would grow such a huge jaw like a pincer, and a tail stinger comparable to Jiang Qian's fangs would stick out from his buttocks.
And what was being eaten under the body of this suspected mutant was a bloody skeleton.
The stench spread outward along the open windows and doors.
A red and yellow liquid slowly dripped from the door beside Jiang Qian, pouring a small pool of sticky corpse water on the ground.
Jiang Qian's Adam's apple rolled for the second time and swallowed silently.
What surprised Jiang Qian at this time was that he was not disgusted by the "stench" emanating from the bus!
Not only was he not disgusted, he even wanted to go in and share the feast with the monsters inside... No, including the monsters with human faces but no human affairs, which were also inducing Jiang Qian's predatory appetite.
Continuously, surging in the body.
It's so strange, am I infected? When did it start...
Jiang Qian made a prompt decision and gave up this bus.
He turned around quickly, spread the alien wings behind him, and flew into the sky!
The alien wings belonging to the Teng Snake never let him down, and the rapid distance did effectively weaken the menacing hunger... the suspicious, sudden hunger.
"What happened to me..."
As Jiang Qian's eyes gradually opened up as he wondered, he stopped in the air and looked down at the dilapidated and deserted ruins of the city, and then he intuitively felt the loneliness and desolation of the end of the world.
There were no vehicles or pedestrians, no flashing billboards or traffic lights, no noise or exhaust that was unique to the city.
The whole city was as quiet as death, with ruins and no vitality.
Jiang Qian was not a sentimental person, so he did not stay in the sky for too long.
Instead, he quickly found a house with a relatively good view to land, and used his spiritual vision to check the nearby "dynamic life" traces.
At this time, the dungeon prompt sound came abruptly:
[Attention, all super-species players! Attention, all super-species players! ]
[The IDs and coordinates of all players will be released soon, please pay attention to receive them. ]
As the voice fell, a panoramic view of the city quickly unfolded in front of Jiang Qian!
"Map?"
This panoramic view of the city is clear and concise, with appropriate details. It has regional divisions, traffic routes, and also indicates landmark buildings and important places.
In addition, there are some additional green dot marks on the map.
Jiang Qian glanced at it and saw 20 green dots, with a line of characters floating above each green dot. Obviously, it was the ID information of the player who entered the dungeon this time.
Good opportunity!
He quickly located his location, and was surprised to find that Xue Yang's ID was floating in a supermarket not far from him, with a straight-line distance of less than 10 kilometers.
Jiang Qian quickly set off, flying in the wind at the speed of a snake's shadow, dragging a series of phantoms in the air, and rushed straight to where Xue Yang was!
The reminder sound beside his ear continued:
[Reminder: The real-time coordinates will be closed in 5 minutes! The next time it will be opened is 24 days later. ]
5 minutes, enough... Jiang Qian soared in the air, imprinted the initial positions of others in his mind, and thought about the purpose of publishing the real-time positions of players in the copy.
...
In an abandoned car factory.
In a workshop, the door of the guard room slowly opened.
The long-faced mutant walked out of the door silently...
The movement was very slight, the narrow eyeballs looked around, and the long nose moved in the air.
His ID is called "Nose", and the identity card is the endangered species today: anteater.
People around Nose will connect his original surname and ID together and call him: Zhang Nose.
The tip of the moving nose gradually turned red, as if confirming some necessary information.
So, he stopped sniffing and walked into the "too quiet" workshop with ease...
During this process, Zhang Bizi's shirt was torn, his body gradually expanded, leather armor and long hair covered his sturdy body, and his claws stretched out and fell on the ground.
He transformed from an upright bipedal beast to a quadrupedal anteater!
When this scene appeared, a rustling sound immediately came from the shadow of the originally silent workshop.
The anteater was fearless and walked majestically.
At this time, several skinny black shadows crawling on the ground rushed towards the anteater from four directions at the same time!
Their crawling movements were exaggerated and violent, the sharp mouthparts on their faces like iron pincers squirmed at a high frequency, and the spikes extending from the tail vertebrae were even more frightening.
However, their siege seemed to be superficial.
Although the anteater is huge, it is extremely agile, especially the sharp claws on its five fingers, which are not only extremely sharp, but also coordinated in an orderly manner, and each attack goes straight to the vital point.
His figure leaps left and right between seven or eight black shadows, and the opponent's mouthparts and tail stings can't threaten him at all.
On the contrary, every attack of his must be a killing move, and every move must hit the vital point!
The black shadows that were injured in the battle splattered blood on the spot, and new black shadows ran close to the ground.
In just a few minutes, several black shadows that were actively attacking were either broken in the neck by claws, or had their chests hollowed out, or their abdomens were cut and fell in a pool of blood...
After experiencing the killing spree of the anteater, the "natives" hiding in the darkness of the workshop began to retreat strategically.
The anteater did not pursue. He licked the flesh and blood on the tip of his claws leisurely with his long tongue covered with thorns. He waited for the natives to evacuate before turning around lazily and walking towards the dying prey lying on the ground.
He picked the fattest prey.
His slender nose sniffed the other's face and sniffed all the way to the cut neck. Finally, he slowly stretched out his claws and ate the internal organs in the other's chest, eating with relish.
"Crunch, crunch"...
He satisfied his appetite very naturally.
In this process, physical strength was quickly replenished, and body functions were continuously stabilized and even enhanced.
The prey, which had lost the ability to speak, struggled desperately, but it seemed that the more it struggled, the more it could arouse the anteater's appetite.
Even if the reminder sound of the copy sounded, it did not affect his eating rhythm.
After chewing one, he calmly came to the next "ingredient".
"Crack, crack"...
The sound of people eating food was endless, echoing in the dark machine workshop.
...
Lotus City Railway Station.
A young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks poked his head out of the leaky train compartment, and showed a trace of confusion in the face of this desolate and dilapidated world:
"Please spare me! I didn't even see anyone breathing..."
He was wearing an eye-catching orange sports suit, goggles on his head, and a small braid behind his head. It was the initiator of the hot post on the official forum: Canyon Laoliu!
A few seconds later, he jumped out of the compartment.
From the time he opened his eyes to now, Canyon Laoliu analyzed the current dungeon information at the fastest speed, and took the opportunity to check the entire compartment, but gained little.
"Although it is an A-level dungeon, I have no impression of it. I won't really encounter a low-probability event, right?"
Low-frequency dungeon.
Information is sparse and inaccessible! A level is comparable to S level in regular dungeons.
"It's just that the 72-day survival time is a bit outrageous. I need more information."
While hesitating, a copy map prompt appeared.
When the panoramic view of Lotus City lay before his eyes, and 20 small green dots appeared in his field of vision, Canyon Lao Liu's interest instantly rose——
"Don't use Hidden Dragon?!"
…
The large supermarket located between the Economic Development Zone and No. 1 Middle School was in a mess.
Xue Yang curled up in the ventilation duct of the monitoring room, recalling the "eating scene" he had just peeped in his mind, and his skin got goosebumps one after another!
Xue Yang was now extremely nervous and hungry.
There is a monster in this supermarket! A group of monsters even hungrier than him!
That's right, three years after the disaster, there is nothing edible left in this large supermarket.
"Why! Why am I here...shouldn't I be in the hospital?"
Xue Yang held his head:
"I promised you to eat meat directly after you pick me up. I believe you, Jiang Qian! Wow, I'm so hungry..."
His silent accusation seemed to alarm the "residents" walking through the supermarket, but when he heard a rustling sound coming from the exhaust duct behind him from far away, Xue Yang's scalp immediately went numb.
Almost at the same time, the copy prompt sounded!
Immediately afterwards, a map spread out in front of him, regardless of Xue Yang's will, showing the entire city where he was, including the coordinates of 20 green light spots including him.
Then, a moving green light spot visible to the naked eye finally made him strong in despair:
"Don't use Qianlong..." Xue Yang was about to cry, "Damn it, come here quickly, Old Jiang!"
