Chapter 221 The Laws of Operation of the Hungry Ghost Apocalypse

Chapter 221 The Law of Operation of the World of "Hungry Ghosts"

"The key at this stage is not 'survival', then what is it?"

Xue Yang felt that his brain could no longer keep up with Jiang Qian's thoughts, so he asked more directly.

Jiang Qian smiled: "Do you remember why I didn't choose to indulge my appetite?"

Xue Yang thought about it and had an idea: "I remember you said that we should do the opposite: we should be cautious about any behavior that the copy induces us to do!"

"That's right."

Jiang Qian affirmed Xue Yang's reaction speed: "After coming here, I have been observing and thinking about the infected people who have transformed into bullet ants, the greedy appetite, hunger, and loss of control... All of this is similar to the 'mutation' in the super-species world."

"Maybe it's due to fate, or maybe it's out of caution about the logic of the copy. In short, I am not familiar with the logic of gaining power by devouring the infected and human natives. The editor is not very appetizing. "

"In the super-species world, once a player mutates, his energy structure will be unbalanced or even collapse, which means the stagnation of his entire career and the ruin of his future. "

"If the logic of catastrophe and mutation are the same, does it mean that the way of survival of indulging appetite to gain strength and the way of survival of choosing to restrain appetite like us are actually equivalent to the choice of two evolutionary paths? "

Speaking of this, Xue Yang suddenly reacted: "Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this!"

He thought of the situation when he first met Snake Hand Black Windbreaker. At that time, the two discussed the possible logic of players eating people to become stronger.

At that time, they had speculated that the degree of strength may be related to the number of cannibals and crawlers.

"So what you mean is that the core of the current stage is not survival, but the 'choice' of the way to survive?"

Without waiting for Jiang Qian to answer, Xue Yang was confused again:

"Since it is a choice of the way to survive, what are the conditions for rewards and punishments? Cannibals and crawlers can directly gain power, so what about us?"

"We choose to restrain our appetite, but what is our reward?"

Jiang Qian smiled and said bluntly: "How should I know? I am not a worm in the stomach of the copy."

Xue Yang was speechless for a moment.

It was only then that he remembered that all the above discussions were based on Jiang Qian's conjectures, which were speculations, but there was no conclusive evidence.

In fact, the clear information they currently have is still very scarce.

"Alas..." Xue Yang slid down on the bench, "I'd better sleep for a while, sleeping is more energy-saving."

However, at this moment, a burst of children's running and playing came from outside the locker room door.

The militia at the door seemed to have gone to the toilet and was not nearby.

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang stopped communicating and looked at the small window at the door curiously.

At the same time, the voices of several children were clearly transmitted to the two through the small window:

"Wait, you guys! There is something powerful here!"

"Shit! Are you kidding? Don't go over there..."

"I heard from my dad that there are two dangerous species in that room. They will eat people when they go crazy! Aren't you curious?"

"I'm scared..." It sounded like a girl's voice.

But her timidity caused the other children to laugh: "Hahaha! Little Bob is scared, he is scared!"

Then there was a flustered shove.

The weak boy called Little Bob screamed in resistance: "Hey, wait! Don't~"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the locker room was slammed, and a boy's cheek was forced to stick to the small window.

It seemed that someone was pressing his body and head, making it impossible for him to retreat and escape.

Therefore, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were able to see the boy's face clearly.

It was a little boy with brown curly hair, who was thinner and more haggard than little Allen. He was terrified and almost crying.

But when he saw Jiang Qian and Xue Yang sitting in the locker room, the fear in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little.

Because Jiang Qian and Xue Yang looked no different from humans!

It was difficult for him to associate the two with the "dangerous species" he knew.

"It's dangerous for them to play like this," Jiang Qian joked with Xue Yang, "At this distance, if I really want to prey on him, it's actually easy."

But he spoke English.

The playfulness outside the door stopped abruptly!

Including little Bob, whose cheek was pressed against the small window, and the mischievous children were stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed and scattered!

Jiang Qian chuckled.

But another strange voice came from outside the door:

"Don't even think about it! Monster!"

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were stunned.

Is there someone else at the door?

The owner of the voice was obviously a girl. She was actually the militia responsible for guarding Jiang Qian and Xue Yang tonight.

She was also a loyal supporter of the leader Elizabeth!

It was just a shift change, and it was relatively more difficult for women to meet their physiological needs, so there was a brief oversight just now.

"You two should behave yourself!"

The female militia's voice came again. She never "showed her face", but her impolite way of speaking made it easy for people to associate her with a "female man".

"I can't afford to offend you..." Xue Yang whispered.

Jiang Qian, however, started chatting with the other party with interest: "You can behave yourself, but we are not full and are very hungry. If you feed us, we will behave ourselves naturally."

As soon as these words came out, the female militia outside the door was furious: "You haven't eaten enough yet?!"

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang looked at each other.

Then they heard the other party knocking on the glass of the small window with the barrel of the gun and cursing: "The food I sent to you today is the rations for a whole family in Ideal Town for a whole day! Still think it's not enough?"

"What contributions have you made? Have you participated in labor, or exchanged resources for missions? Oh my God, you eat and drink for free, and you still think it's not enough?"

"I have never seen such shameless infected people as you!"

The female militia had a very loud voice, and the curses echoed in the gymnasium of the middle school, and a hint of embarrassment floated in the air.

They confronted each other for about a minute.

Jiang Qian responded to the female militia's accusation calmly: "I understand your accusations, and we can't deny them. But our situation is indeed different from the infected people you know..."

...

In the abandoned car factory.

In the hazy moonlight, it can be seen that the huge workshop is full of all kinds of "corpses".

Among them, the remains of crawlers were mostly, most of which had their organs emptied, leaving only skins and limbs with low nutritional value.

The smallest number was super-species players of different forms. Although they were few in number, their bodies were intact and not overly damaged.

In addition to the above two, there was a third species: humans!

More than a dozen living people were tied to a sharp-edged pillar. They had different skin colors and even came from different settlements, but without exception, they were already dying.

Only a beautiful girl with a bronze complexion who looked like a gypsy girl was still full of energy. As soon as she got the chance, she cursed at the orcs who trapped her here:

"Hey monster! Seeing you eat so much with relish, I'm about to vomit."

"Can you at least explain why you tied us up but didn't kill us? When can you make a break?"

The human-faced anteater squatted in front of the machine tool, eating a huge crawler...

It was indifferent to the beautiful girl's angry curses.

"Hey?!"

The girl was anxious:

"Idiot! At least say something, are you deaf? Are you deaf or disabled? You are not a mentally retarded person who only knows how to eat stupidly, right?"

While cursing, the anteater suddenly put down the corpse in his hand, and looked at the source of the curse with a cold gaze.
