Chapter 237 Hungry Ghost Migration at the End of the World
Chapter 237 Migration of "The End of the Hungry Ghosts"
"May you return safely!"
On the day of the mission, leader Elizabeth saw him off in person. She has now recovered from her injury and is back to her former glory.
Also coming spontaneously were the residents of Ideal Town who had been rescued by Jiang Qian and the others before. They each held the little food left at home to practice for Jiang Qian and others.
At this time, there are only 3 days left before the next "player coordinate announcement" time!
There are still 52 days left until the end of the survival test of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse".
After discussion, Monat and Jiang Qian led a team to collect the needed supplies, and Ideal Town was temporarily guarded by the "special forces" organized by Monat after the last attack.
This team is composed entirely of quasi-one-state cognitive entities who have been cured of the infection.
Sean and others, who were initially cured of the infection and performed well in the last attack, became the leaders of this team, directly following the orders of leader Elizabeth.
Therefore, it can be said that the current combat readiness of Ideal Town is several levels stronger than before the attack by Black Windbreaker.
Of course, there is still double insurance. In the event of an emergency and urgent need for foreign aid, a signal flare can be set off to notify the team outside the town.
However, this resource is limited and the target is large, so it will not be used unless absolutely necessary.
After everything was settled, the team set off from the side gate of Ideal Town.
They drove an off-road vehicle towards the first target location - a mental hospital.
This is because the city hospital located in the city center has been raided countless times, and the city hospital is within the bombing area of the last joint defense force. The road conditions are uncertain and the risk of going there is high.
But the mental hospital is different. It is located in a relatively remote and low-key location, not far from Ideal Town. It is said that there are several private clinics nearby that you can search for.
This is exactly what Jiang Qian wants.
The off-road vehicle was still fully armed, covered with a cover stained with crawler secretions, and each person also wore a corresponding cloak. We still need to be on guard against the crawlers that are found all over the city.
Monat personally served as the driver, Jiang Qianqian was in the passenger seat, and there were three people in the back row. They all had enhanced quasi-state cognitive bodies after recovering from the infection.
"The streets are very quiet today..."
A militiaman in the back row looked out the car window and sighed.
He spoke out the thoughts of the other people. Half an hour after the car drove out, not a single moving crawler could be seen. Instead, there were many dead crawlers that had been chewed into empty shells.
Judging from the chewed-up death state, it was most likely the player's handiwork... Jiang Qian secretly judged it, but didn't say much.
"Looking at the death state of these guys, it seems like they were eaten by something...the internal organs were emptied out, leaving only empty shells, Shet..." another militiaman in the back seat agreed.
"Everyone, stay alert and be careful around you," Monat reminded from the driver's seat.
The car became quiet again.
After passing two more blocks, the sign for the first clinic appeared on the side of the road.
Monat looked around carefully, and the off-road vehicle stopped slowly. Jiang Qian and others were alert to the surrounding movements, opened the door and got out of the car quietly, and entered the clinic one by one in an orderly manner.
The clinic was in chaos, and it was no longer what it used to be.
The three militiamen separately began a detailed search, while Monat and Jiang Qian were mainly responsible for monitoring the surrounding environment.
"I found a few boxes of expired medicines that are useless. Forget it, take them with you."
"The most reliable trophy I have here is: some scrapped syringes..."
Ten minutes later, the search was over: almost nothing.
This situation is so normal, everyone's face is very calm, supplies are not so easy to collect these days.
Then move on to the next one.
"boarding!"
Two blocks later, only a small amount of usable auxiliary materials were collected from the clinics and pharmacies passed by.
I saw the next street to the mental hospital.
"I remember that a supermarket over there has a license to distribute medicines!"
"Let's go over and take a look."
Several people passed by along the way, and when they turned the corner, there were obviously more corpses of crawlers in sight.
The body was similar to the ones they had seen before. The main organs had been removed, leaving only an empty shell.
"What do you think of these corpses?" Monat asked Jiang Qian, "Could it be done by 'players'?"
"It's possible." Jiang Qian said, "Players have an appetite for humans and crawlers. Devouring both can restore physical strength more quickly and use special skills."
The car drove slowly, and after a long silence, Monat said: "Why don't you eat people?"
Although the three people in the back seat were looking out the window, they all listened with their ears raised.
In their view, Jiang Qian is the kind of person who should not be seen through. He is a mysterious and calm oriental young man. Although he looks harmless, he is not easily offended.
"Picky eater."
"..."
Jiang Qian is actually also curious about how the survival experience of players who have eaten crawlers is different from that of cannibal players.
Several people stopped not far from the door of Target Supermarket.
As before, they sneaked into the supermarket cautiously, with a clear division of labor. Three militiamen were responsible for detailed searches, while Monat and Jiang Qian stood guard against wind and surrounding areas.
I thought they would return empty-handed again, but unexpectedly, not long after the three of them entered, a sound of good news came from inside:
"Oh my God, I found a treasure!"
"Damn! It's happening!!"
When Jiang Qian and Monat heard the news, they saw one person opening the door, and the two came out carrying a large, dusty box with the category of antibiotics marked on the box.
"It's all what we need, and it's still within the shelf life! Hey! It's hidden..." one of them reported excitedly.
"Have you checked everything?" Monat remained cautious.
"Not yet, let's see now."
Jiang Qian also walked over and took out a box of medicines from the box. He turned on his spiritual vision and carefully looked at the packaging of the medicines...
However, from the perspective of spiritual vision, a figure was quietly approaching them.
Jiang Qian directly locked the opponent's position, and his wings suddenly tore his shirt. When Monat and others were shocked, he turned around and wrapped the black shadow that was coming like a cannonball, and poured it into the door behind him with the help of inertia!
boom!
"Dr. Jiang?!"
"Oops……"
Monat and others covered their faces with their hands. After the dust settled, they immediately drew their guns and aimed at the half-open door, tentatively calling:
"Doctor Jiang?"
The door shook, and there were a few dull sounds of struggling inside, as well as scattered sounds of falling and heavy objects falling to the ground. Then, everything returned to calm.
Jiang Qian's voice came from inside the door: "Busy people, don't worry about me."
Monat and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other in confusion, they confirmed Jiang Qian's subtext: The one inside was probably a player and had been dealt with by Jiang Qian.
Inside the door, Jiang Qian had retracted his wings, and his figure overlapped with the attacker.
It was a lady with a waist and hips, kneeling on her knees, her back facing Jiang Qian and being pushed against the wall.
Jiang Qian put her knees on the opponent's back, held the opponent's wrists with her left hand and pressed them firmly against the wall. The middle fingers of both hands were protruding with stinging stingers, which were useless now; her right hand pressed her fangs against On the other party's neck, there was blood in the scratches.
"A dimorphic killer bee that survived by eating creepers?"
Jiang Qian's tone was gentle, but his actions showed no sign of pity.
"So what!"
The woman clenched her silver teeth, twisted her body and said with an angry look on her face:
"It's my fault that I've been careless. If you dare to touch me, I'll die with you..."
"No, I won't touch you, just ask a few questions."
According to the information provided by Black Windbreaker, after eating people, they will no longer have an appetite for crawlers. This rule should not appear alone. There is mutual exclusivity between the two, so her attack on us is not an act of predatory... Jiang Qian then asked: "You attack humans to create a tribe, right?"
The poisonous bee girl trembled: "You, how do you know?"
"I know more than you think."
Jiang Qian didn't care about the other party's surprise and thought to herself: This place is close to the suburbs and sparsely populated. She has no companions around her to help her. She must have just acquired the skills to infect the ethnic group.
He was about to continue asking questions, but he heard the poisonous wasp girl ask back: "What are you doing hanging out with humans?"
"I am fasting and have reached friendly cooperation with the indigenous people."
The poisonous bee girl frowned.
Jiang Qian continued to ask calmly: "Let me ask you, what are the follow-up tasks to complete the establishment of the new ethnic group?"
Hearing this, the Poisonous Bee Girl immediately became alert and tried to negotiate terms with Jiang Qian:
"If I tell you the truth, can you let me go?"
"Of course," Jiang Qian said without hesitation, "The premise is that you have to cooperate with me."
"good……"
The Venomous Bee Girl obviously realized that she had no choice, and exchanging information with Jiang Qian seemed to be the only way to seek survival, so she said frankly:
"The progress bar of group establishment is at the end, and the next phase of the task is displayed as 'migration'. There are only these two words and no other description!"
Jiang Qian held the Bee Girl's shoulder with one hand, turned her face, and carefully observed her expression: "The consequences of lying are no joke."
"It's true, I didn't lie!" The poisonous bee girl was frightened.
Her expression didn't look like she was lying. Migration was a very interesting mission. It seemed that the black windbreaker still had a hand for me... Jiang Qian softened his attitude and continued to ask: "What is the advancement unit of the progress bar? Individuals within the group Quantity?”
"I really don't know this. I have just activated the skill of infecting ethnic groups. You are the first batch of human aborigines I am waiting for!"
The poisonous bee girl looked aggrieved: "Are you keeping your word?"
She was referring to what Jiang Qian said "will let her go."
"Fine, but I need you to cooperate with me."
As Jiang Qian spoke, he showed his fangs again and explained his intention:
"This is a minor operation. I will try to use your venom to adjust your imbalanced energy structure. The specific operation is difficult to explain to you, but once the operation is successful, you will get rid of your status as a mutant and return to the ranks of normal evolution. ”
"Judging from current experimental statistics, the probability of success is higher than 50%."
The Venomous Bee Girl broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and became a little angry: "You mean to cure the mutation? How is this possible? I have never heard of such a case!"
She thought Jiang Qian was just making up a story to poison her.
"It's indeed hard to believe, but you have no other choice, why not try it with peace of mind, what if it works?"
While Jiang Qian was speaking, his fangs had already penetrated the woman's skin, and his spiritual vision was turned on, focusing on the unbalanced energy structure of the other party.
This is the first "cure" operation for dimorphic and xenobiotic mutants. Although it is more complicated than the one-state cognitive body, after many times of practice, he has become more and more confident in completing it.
Just like curing the infected residents of Ideal Town, he reversely used the venom used by the Poisonous Bee Girl to infect new ethnic groups, stimulating their own sources of mental pollution in their bodies, and tried to dismantle and reconstruct the dimorphic imbalanced energy structure of the Poisonous Bee Girl. structure...
During this process, Monat and others had already checked the medicines and carried the available medicines onto the off-road vehicle.
Then one of the militiamen returned and called Jiang Qian:
"Doctor Jiang, are you okay?"
At that time, Jiang Qian's experimental operation was gradually coming to an end, and the only sound in the storage room was the rapid breathing of the poisonous bee woman.
But when this call came, the poisonous bee woman caught Jiang Qian's momentary distraction, and the stinger was delivered to Jiang Qian's throat in an instant!
Her hand was grasped by Jiang Qian, but the energy structure that was being repaired collapsed abnormally!
Accompanied by a terrifying scream, the life of the poisonous bee woman fell irreversibly.
Jiang Qian sighed lightly and silently remembered the lesson:
During the operation, you must not be disturbed or distracted; the operator must be calm and cooperate with the doctor, because the collapse of the energy structure just now was essentially caused by the abnormal fluctuation of the mental pollution source-the other party had the intention to kill!
After a while, Jiang Qian walked out of the half-open storage room with an expressionless face. The militiaman who was frightened by the screams still looked terrified, and stood there with a chill on his back.
He obviously realized that he had messed up, and there was obvious fear in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Qian.
"Keep on the road." Jiang Qian said calmly. There is still a lot of work to do later. How can we let a mistake in the experiment affect our mood? It's more trouble than gain.
"Ah... OK!" The militiaman hurried to clear the way.
Back in the car, Monat glanced at Jiang Qian: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask about your previous affairs, but I am really curious about your relationship with each other. It doesn't seem so harmonious."
Jiang Qian said without hesitation: "Just like the relationship between humans and crawlers, we often stand in opposite camps and fight each other, which may not be a bad thing for you human aborigines."
Monat was thoughtful.
Then, he asked a very sensitive question that had actually puzzled him for a long time: "Have you ever thought about infecting humans and cultivating the so-called tribe?"
"Me?"
While chatting and laughing, Jiang Qian quickly realized the deep meaning of the other party's question.
After the last attack on Ideal Town, many infected residents have fortunately gained stronger comprehensive qualities with the help of Jiang Qian.
Monat, who was once the peak of Ideal Town's combat power, now dares not claim to be invincible.
He asked Jiang Qian this question, and he was also looking for an opportunity to make himself out of the category of ordinary people and become stronger.
Even if he had to go through the process of being infected and treated once, it was worth it in Monat's view.
But his words triggered another thought of Jiang Qian: How can fasting players have the so-called "tribe infection" skills?
Or: On the basis of not having the ability to infect tribes, how can I make the humans of quasi-monostasis and cognitive bodies work for me?
