Chapter 210: New Variants of Hungry Ghosts Are Rampant in the Apocalypse
Chapter 210: New mutants rampant in "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"
"We are, the biggest villains..."
Hearing Jiang Qian's conclusion, Xue Yang was both surprised and faintly excited.
That's "villain"!
The message conveyed by these two words includes: danger, evil, mystery, unruly, and even bloody violence!
As a novice player of super species, Xue Yang feels very exciting just thinking about it.
"This may not be a good thing. Super-species players are a completely new group for humans in this world. If we are confirmed as villains, it will be much more difficult to communicate and trade with the natives."
Jiang Qian's alertness awakened Xue Yang from his brief fantasy:
"Not only that, judging from the wild dining performance of that man just now, our "kind" have begun to be active in various places in this city. Among them, it is difficult to estimate how many people have chosen to indulge their appetite and started to hunt crawlers and human natives everywhere, and this account may be counted on all of us players."
"... A very unfavorable start."
As he said, Jiang Qian turned around calmly and looked at the pale-faced little Allen, revealing a look of suspected pity:
"Just like now, the two of us are obviously good young men with good conduct, and look how scared this child is."
Xue Yang hesitated to speak, and finally looked up at the sky silently: the bubble of imagining that he was wild and cool and rampant for thousands of miles was broken.
Jiang Qian's attention returned to little Allen again.
He asked the white boy in a genuine London accent: "What's your name?"
Little Allen was the first human aborigine they had met. His obvious white features and the blank expression he showed during the communication with Xue Yang just now gave Jiang Qian reason to believe that he didn't understand Chinese.
Fortunately, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang both had good oral English skills and were college students majoring in related subjects, so they had almost no pressure to communicate across borders in the current copy.
"Ai, Allen..."
Hearing Jiang Qian switch languages calmly and freely, Little Allen was very surprised and gave an honest answer.
"Alan, um, my last name is Jiang and his last name is Xue."
Jiang Qian pointed in the direction of Xue Yang, exchanged information with him on an equal footing, and continued:
"We have no ill intentions and will not threaten your life. We just have a few questions to ask you."
"Teach me?"
Perhaps because Jiang Qian and Xue Yang had no signs of further "committing crimes", Little Allen gradually eased from the stiff state of fear just now.
"Yes," Jiang Qian continued to persuade, "You have also seen that my companions and I have also been harassed by the crawlers. I want to ask you if you know any way to avoid the crawlers?"
Little Allen stared at Jiang Qian's eyes and hesitated for a long time, as if evaluating the real purpose of the other party asking this question.
Of course, Jiang Qian's expression remained calm from beginning to end, which made the boy a little confused, but he could not find a reason to refuse this help.
"Well... If you can't answer, what will you do to me?"
Jiang Qian thought for a while and said, "I can't do anything to you."
He calmly pulled the cloak on the boy, and his action once again made the boy stiffen all over.
"I guess this sticky cloak on you may be effective in avoiding crawlers. After all, no crawlers have followed you on your way until now. Therefore, I will ruthlessly confiscate your cloak and take it for myself."
"Of course, if you can tell us how to copy this cloak, or provide other ways to avoid crawlers, I don't need to rob you of your children's money. On the contrary, I will exchange some food or tools with you."
"How about it? Think about it."
Jiang Qian explained the pros and cons clearly and handed the multiple-choice question back to the white boy.
Little Alan was shocked.
After all, he was still a simple boy, a well-protected child prodigy even in the chaotic end-of-the-world environment.
He has always lived in an organized and disciplined "ideal town" and has never seen someone like Jiang Qian who openly extorts others and makes the extortion conditions sound grand.
Fearing Jiang Qian's "tyrannical power", Little Alan quickly told the truth: "It's secretions, secretions of crawlers."
Little Alan's words directly confirmed Jiang Qian's guess.
As a top student in the Department of Biology, Jiang Qian knew very well that ants transmit information through different secretions produced in glands. But it is actually difficult to directly and accurately extract what kind of components can transmit what kind of information.
That's why he was particularly interested in the cloak on Little Alan.
This shows that there are human survivors in this world who can do it: accurately extract the secretions of crawlers, effectively avoid or effectively guide crawlers. Once you have such technology.
"How to extract?" Jiang Qian asked, "Tell me what you know."
The boy hesitated: "This is the leader's top secret, I don't know."
"Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?" Jiang Qian grabbed the boy's cloak and threatened him with a pleasant face.
"I, I really don't know!" Little Alan tried to stay away from Jiang Qian's "claws", but he knew very well that he couldn't escape from the other party who was two heads taller than him.
"Tell me what you know, if you can tell me something that interests me, I will consider letting your cloak go."
"Don't push me, I really don't know! The extraction experiment is the most secret production technology in Ideal Town. Except for the core scientific researchers, ordinary residents have no access to it, including me..."
In the young man's frightened and incoherent expressions, Jiang Qian keenly perceived the key information:
"You mentioned 'Ideal Town'? Hmm...is that another name for the nearby survivor settlement? It's an interesting name."
The young man was slightly startled and immediately closed his mouth.
But it was too late.
Jiang Qian smiled and touched the boy's short chestnut hair: "Actually, I have a good idea that can solve our problems at the same time."
"Wha, what's the idea?" Little Allen was touched by Jiang Qian until he broke out in cold sweat, feeling a vague foreboding.
At this time, Xue Yang had already followed him carrying two canvas bags.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Qian intimidated and pressured a boy who was several years younger than him, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart: "Beast" was about to come out!
But considering the current exhausted and precarious state of the two of them, they immediately swallowed these words of conscience.
…
This scene was simultaneously presented in the distant blond woman's telescopic vision, and had a huge impact on the viewer.
"Oops, a boy fell into the hands of a new mutant..."
Her muttering to herself prompted a low protest from her companion in the driver's seat: "Hey! Thalia, we must bring back the investigation results as soon as possible, don't make any mistakes..."
"I know!"
Thalia replied coldly.
Her sudden loss of mood made her companion, the old but charming curly man, who was driving a jeep away from the city, afraid to talk to her.
Because everyone who is familiar with Thalia knows that this sassy and charming blonde female warrior lost her brother when the disaster first broke out. Therefore she will have a special sympathy for boys of similar age to her brothers.
This is Thalia's only emotional switch.
"We will report the situation as soon as possible and request more thermal weapon support. Once the new variants are allowed to develop and grow, the living space of mankind will be squeezed again... No, the situation may be worse."
Thalia's deep eyes flashed with a sharp edge:
"They must be completely eradicated in their early stages of creation."
…
The smelly streets were covered with irregular bloodstains.
The corpses of three adult men were scattered everywhere, completing their final moments of life in incredible postures.
"No!"
Seeing this scene for the first time, little Allen wailed and burst into tears!
"Uncle Anthony! Jack...Marcus...it's all my fault..."
Jiang Qian handed little Allen to Xue Yang to take care of, and walked to each corpse to look at it carefully:
"These people were all killed with one blow, and the fatal wound was in the throat. The bite marks looked very much like the handiwork of a snake license holder." Jiang Qian spoke to Xue Yang alone in Chinese.
Xue Yang also immediately recalled the black trench coat that had just appeared. The alien limb that was first revealed on his right hand was the snake head extending from the arm.
"There are toxins left in the three people's bodies. They used toxins when they killed them with one blow... Is it to speed up the digestion process outside the body? Well, this is very likely. He ate the core internal organs of the victim, but left the limbs The peripheral parts are of little interest... This guy has a picky eater, or the internal organs have a higher 'supply effect' on the license holder than other parts of the human body."
Jiang Qian made analysis while inspecting the body, completely unaware of Xue Yang's stiff expression:
"If you guessed it correctly, humans' supply to super-species players is higher than that of ordinary crawlers. Simply put, human internal organs have higher nutritional value."
"And the upper limit of this kind of supply seems to be quite high. That guy fed three or four people at a time, and he looked like he was not satisfied with his desires."
"It barely makes sense. After all, according to the energy consumption of super-species abilities in this world, no matter how frequently you eat, you can't withstand the consumption of continuous output."
"Well, maybe there are other factors, some kind of rules that only those license holders who start eating people or eating crawlers know..."
At this point, the sound of Xue Yang's vomiting came from behind.
The conflict between the physiological hunger and the cruel scene he saw, coupled with Jiang Qian's straightforward and explicit description, directly led to the vomiting reaction.
Only then did Jiang Qian realize that his description was not subtle enough.
Fortunately, little Allen could not understand Chinese, so he was not forced to fall into the trap.
"Excuse me."
"It's okay! Lao Jiang, you don't have to worry about me...ahem! Just talk about your..."
By the time Xue Yang calmed down, Jiang Qian had already taken the cloaks that had been taken off from each deceased person in his arms and brought them to Xue Yang.
It was a cloak covered in creeper secretions.
Fortunately, there wasn't much blood on it, but it remains to be seen whether it's still effective.
When technical conditions are limited, it is the demeanor of every apocalyptic scavenger to humbly borrow equipment from the dead.
It was little Allen who was hit this time. He stared at the bloody clothes that had just been taken off his dead companions at close range, turned around and vomited on the street.
"Excuse me."
Little Allen, who was so dizzy from vomiting, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Jiang Qian timidly.
For some reason, he always felt that when the other person said "sorry", he wasn't actually really apologizing...
…
In the suburban jungle outside the station.
Canyon Lao Liu climbed on the tree, his sharp eyes focused on a hare passing through the trees. He found the right moment to jump down and inserted the dagger in his hand into the rabbit's head.
Half an hour later, the fire was set up and the aroma of roasted rabbit wafted around.
Canyon Laoliu didn't even wait for the hare to be cooked. When it was medium-rare, he couldn't help but stuff the bloodshot rabbit meat into his mouth to satisfy his increasingly raging hunger!
He ate ravenously and looked completely different from the state he had just walked out of the station.
Fatigue, embarrassment, weakness...
After all, this is all thanks to the weird hunger that suddenly hit me yesterday!
That day, he finally resisted the desire to eat the crawlers, and changed his plan to go deep into the city. He hibernated in the suburbs and fed on nearby game, taking the lead in solving the problem of out-of-control appetite.
But new problems soon emerged.
If the process of hunting involves the use of super-species skills, then his consumption will far exceed his intake rate!
In this way, the problem of out-of-control hunger cannot be solved.
The only way is to give up super-species abilities and only obtain food in ordinary human ways, in order to maintain stability in the cycle of fighting hunger.
This made Canyon Lao Liu feel very anxious.
Of course, he considered another possible way to pass the level: resisting the "nausea" and directly hunt the crawlers!
The large number of crawlers here will definitely be able to maintain the use of his super-species abilities. With the guarantee of super-species abilities, any choice he makes next will be much more secure.
Maybe after the intake reaches a certain standard, it is possible to unlock the item bar...
But this is all a case of “no matter the cost”.
In addition to the vanity and pride of the mythical beast card, the most important reason that prevented Canyon Lao Liu from taking this path was the awe of the unknown price.
After all, there were official intelligence personnel in the official forum who released the news that the low-frequency copy had hidden secrets, and the influence in the copy may last until reality...
"It's so uncomfortable... I am a dignified three-state fusion, but I have to be forced to pretend to be a Muggle. What's the difference between pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?"
Canyon Lao Liu swallowed the last bit of rabbit meat sadly.
And try to lick the remaining skeleton clean...
Then, he suddenly had an idea:
Play pig eat tiger?
As expected of me!
Canyon Lao Liu fiercely cleaned the hare's bones, stood up happily, and shook the soil. Thinking about his new plan all the way, he walked forward in high spirits.
I don't know where I was walking unsteadily, but my ankles suddenly tightened, and my body was instantly off balance!
The whole person was hung upside down on the tree by a simple hunting device...
The next moment, several strong figures quickly sprang out from the nearby trees, surrounding Lao Liu in the canyon and raising various weapons in their hands!
Most of them are cold weapons, and only a few hot weapons are in the hands of a few people with fierce eyes who are suspected of being core members. Their skin color is not uniform, there are white, yellow and black people.
"Wait, heroes!"
Canyon Lao Liu, who was hanging upside down in the air, quickly negotiated with the other party, but he suddenly discovered a serious problem!
The other party doesn’t seem to understand Chinese!
And he, unfortunately, is a scumbag.
"Shet! No, no, no, bosses, no, brother..."
Canyon Lao Liu searched for his limited vocabulary, trying to save the crisis and avoid irritating the other party with a disagreement. At that point, he would have to go on a killing spree.
The Waiguoren brothers surrounding Lao Liu in the canyon looked at each other with questions on their heads.
But at this time. A friendly and joyful accent came from behind everyone: "Wait a minute, I know this person!"
He ran out of the team speaking English with a strong Northeastern accent and comforted the crooked guys holding weapons:
"I'm sorry, brother, he is my best friend, and he got separated! This guy has a very good brain. If we keep him, we will definitely be prosperous. You believe me on this, it's true!"
After some persuasion by this eloquent man, he actually made the leading black man take the lead in suppressing the weapon.
Then he turned his head.
