Chapter 220 Hungry Ghost Apocalypse Old Jiang, You Have Changed

Chapter 220 "The End of the Hungry Ghost World" Old Jiang, you have changed

From sunrise to sunset, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were confined in the small "locker room".

Each of their hands was handcuffed with a heavy chain, and the other end of the chain was fixed to the pipe in the locker room. This allowed them to move freely indoors, but it was impossible for them to walk out of the room.

This brought a certain degree of inconvenience to the two, for example: when one of them went to the toilet at night, the other would inevitably be woken up by the friction of the chain.

Jiang Qian leaned back in the lounge chair and lowered his head in thought.

The orange-red light of the sunset shone in from the small window at the door, staining Jiang Qian's eyelids and cheeks with a sharp color.

Xue Yang was lying on the other side of the bench to rest.

From last night to now, Monat has sent people to deliver two meals, one last night, and the other at dusk today, with a single and limited food.

This is related to the shortage of resources after the disaster: most of the residents of Ideal Town that Jiang Qian saw yesterday were pale and thin, malnourished, indicating that the food here is not abundant. But it cannot be ruled out that Monat deliberately made things difficult for the two of them.

In addition to the food delivery and the militiamen guarding the door, Jiang Qian also heard the sound of labor coming from the gymnasium.

At noon, some children came in to play, but were quickly driven away by the militiamen.

As dusk approached, the sound of labor gradually weakened, and people left the gymnasium talking about last night's ceremony and the recent situation of each family, and the militiamen also delivered today's meals at this time.

Two bowls of rice paste, a plate of pickles, and a small amount of minced meat.

These things were made so roughly that it was difficult to increase people's appetite. Even Xue Yang, who was asleep, did not wake up immediately following the smell.

About a few minutes later, Jiang Qian shook the chain and asked Xue Yang to get up and eat.

Xue Yang opened his eyes and the first sentence he said was: "Old Jiang, I dreamed that we ate skewers and drank at the stall at the school gate all night!"

Jiang Qian was indifferent: "No matter how delicious the skewers in the dream are, they are not as good as a bowl of rice paste in reality. Get up and eat."

Xue Yang sniffed when he heard this.

He sat up suddenly, staring at the plate at the door with shining eyes!

"Old Jiang, have you eaten?" Xue Yang swallowed instinctively.

"No, you eat first."

"Let's eat together, I'm afraid I can't help eating yours too."

"...Okay."

The two got up and dragged the plate closer, wolfing down the meal, and the dishes were all gone in an instant.

After eating, the two continued to rest on the bench.

"Old Jiang, are you full?" Xue Yang suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Qian embarrassedly.

"Three-quarters full." Jiang Qian accurately described his situation.

Three-quarters full means that the bottom is filled, basically maintaining a state of "not full but not hungry". Without additional food, this state can last for up to two or three hours.

After two or three hours, you will gradually feel hungry.

"What should we do?" Xue Yang looked at Jiang Qian, who looked calm, somewhat helplessly. "Should we talk to them? If this goes on, I'm afraid... afraid of myself..."

"At this level, without using super-species power, it won't cause loss of control." Jiang Qian remained calm.

His calmness came from his precise control of the situation: "We need to talk, but now is not the best time."

"When is the best time?" Xue Yang said urgently.

"When they need us."

Jiang Qian's voice echoed in the small locker room:

"When they come into contact with more super-species players and learn a painful lesson, they will find out how rash and stupid their previous behavior was."

"We just need to observe and wait quietly. When they taste the price and urgently seek help, it's time for us to make an offer."

Xue Yang was a little confused: "You mean, when they encounter cannibalistic players...then, humans really have no power to resist, and many people may die."

"Well, there may be more deaths." When Jiang Qian said these words, there was almost no emotional fluctuation.

It was as if he had already expected such a thing to happen.

Xue Yang turned his head and looked at Jiang Qian's calm profile, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The cold and distant feeling that Jiang Qian exuded made Xue Yang feel a little strange and inexplicably palpitating.

"Old Jiang, I think you have changed..."

Xue Yang muttered in a low voice.

"What?"

"I always feel that you are different now, but I can't tell what is different."

Xue Yang scratched his messy yellow hair. This epiphany made him a little anxious.

He was not sure whether Jiang Qian had changed after becoming a super-species player, or whether Jiang Qian himself was just like this, and he had never understood Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian looked at Xue Yang:

"It's not me who has changed, it's the 'world' that has changed. Don't forget, this is a dungeon world, the settings here are not real, and we don't need to constrain ourselves with the morals and rules in reality."

"The key to survival in a dungeon is to understand the operating rules here, stay awake at all times, and act according to the rules rather than instincts."

"Don't be nervous, you're still a novice, even if I don't say these, you will understand them later."

Xue Yang was stunned, and nodded thoughtfully.

He had just become a super species player not long ago, and only had one C-level dungeon experience. He was powerless and embarrassed in "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", and had to rely on Jiang Qian's judgment and decision-making everywhere.

I remember that when he was in the hospital, the Lengyan assistant who accompanied Jiang Qian said that the first dungeon that Jiang Qian experienced was a nightmare difficulty and a trial dungeon with the most powerful existence; all the dungeons that Jiang Qian has experienced so far are all from him. Unmatched cruelty and difficulty.

This made Xue Yang couldn't help but think: Jiang Qian was just as inexperienced as him back then. How did he overcome those difficulties on his own?

Although Jiang Qian was born as a top student.

But the evolutionary copy of the super-species world is not limited to thinking and computing power.

For example, during the current "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", everything that happened during it was a double destruction of willpower and endurance!

Thinking of this, the anxiety caused by the strong hunger that I had experienced before came to mind again.

Xue Yang glanced at Jiang Qian again and asked tentatively: "Old Jiang, besides waiting, do we need to do anything else?"

He instinctively felt that it was unreasonable to waste time in the dungeon like this, especially now that their personal freedom was restricted and they knew nothing about the outside world.

“Keep calm, move and think less, and reduce the loss of energy and energy.”

Jiang Qian said, lowered his eyelids, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Xue Yang was worried: "But if this continues, our physical strength will get worse and worse, and it will be difficult to go out again."

Jiang Qian was silent for a while and then opened his eyes again: "The duration of this dungeon is 72 days. The main mission is survival. It is now the third day. After 24 days, the dungeon will disclose the coordinates of all players, which may mean a 'shuffle' , or further information is revealed.”

"There are still 21 days left before the 24-day node. We have only passed less than 1/20 of the total progress of the dungeon. You and I are unscathed, have food, drink, and shelter. Why are you anxious?"

Xue Yang was immediately speechless.

He found that Jiang Qian's thinking had always been very clear, and he had thought clearly about what to do and how to do it.

Without waiting for Xue Yang to answer, Jiang Qian's calm and calm voice continued:

"From my observation, the biggest negative impact that players have to bear during this period of free development is 'hunger'. In addition, whether they are crawlers, aborigines, or joint defense forces with a large number of thermal weapons, It is difficult to pose a substantial threat to our life safety.”

"Even if it is a one-state cognitive body, as long as it resists nausea and eats a few more crawlers, it can quickly recover its super-species power and get out of trouble."

"This just means that the key to copying at this stage is not 'survival'."

Jiang Qian stared forward, his eyes and tone of voice were extremely calm, which made him look even a little unhuman:

"I would venture to make a guess. This stage is just an adjustment before we experience the real 'life and death' struggle. I would like to call it: an immersive experience mission."

"Immersive experience mission..."

Xue Yang suddenly felt that his brain could no longer keep up with Jiang Qian's speed.

He subconsciously asked: "You said that the key at this stage is not 'survival', then what is it?"
