Chapter 219 'The End of the Hungry Ghost' Lao Jiang, you have changed
From sunrise to sunset, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were confined in a small "changing 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 to leave the room.
This brings a certain degree of inconvenience to the two of them. For example, when one party goes to the toilet at night, the other party will inevitably be awakened by the sound of the chain rubbing.
Jiang Qian sat back on the rest chair, lowering his head and thinking.
The orange-red light and shadow of the sunset slanted in through the small window at the door, dyeing Jiang Qian's eyelids and cheeks with a sharp color.
Xue Yang was lying on the other side of the bench and resting.
From last night to now, Mona *** sent people to deliver two meals, one was last night and the other was at dusk today. The ingredients were single and limited.
This is related to the shortage of resources after the disaster: Most of the residents of Ideal Town that Jiang Qian saw yesterday were emaciated and malnourished, indicating that the food here was not abundant. However, it cannot be ruled out that Monat deliberately made things difficult for the two of them.
In addition to food delivery and militiamen guarding the door, Jiang Qian also heard the sounds of work coming from the gym.
Children came in to play at noon, but were quickly driven away by the militiamen.
As dusk approached, the sound of work faded away, and people left the gymnasium talking about last night's ceremony and the current situation of each family. At this time, the militiamen also delivered today's meals.
Two bowls of rice lake, a plate of pickles, and a small amount of minced meat.
These things were so crudely made that it was difficult to increase appetite. Even Xue Yang, who was asleep, did not wake up immediately following the smell.
After about a few minutes, Jiang Qian shook the chain and asked Xue Yang to get up and eat.
Xue Yang opened his eyes and the first thing he said was: "Old Jiang, I dreamed that we were having sex at the street stall in front of the school and drinking together all night long!"
[It has been running stably for many years, it is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and is used by old bookworms, huanyuan.]
Jiang Qian was indifferent: "No matter how fragrant the skewers in the dream are, they are not as good as a bowl of rice lake in reality. Get up and eat."
Xue Yang sniffed when he heard this.
He sat up suddenly and stared at the dinner plate at the door with bright eyes!
"Have you eaten, Old Jiang?" Xue Yang swallowed instinctively.
"No, you eat first."
"Let's go together, I'm afraid I can't help but eat yours too."
"……OK."
The two of them stood up, dragged the plates closer, and devoured the meal. In an instant, the dishes were all gone.
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 with some embarrassment.
"Three full." Jiang Qian accurately described his situation.
Three-thirds of fullness means that you are at the bottom, basically maintaining a state of "not full but not hungry either." This state can last for up to two or three hours without additional food.
After two or three hours, you will gradually feel hungry.
"Then what should we do?" Xue Yang looked at Jiang Qian, who looked calm, at a loss, "Do you want to talk to them? If this continues, I'm afraid... afraid of myself..."
"At this level, without using super species power, it will not cause loss of control." Jiang Qian remained calm...
His calmness comes from his precise control of the situation: "We need to talk, but it's not the best time yet."
"Then when is the best time?" Xue Yang asked urgently.
"When they ask for something from us."
Jiang Qian's voice was slow and slow, echoing in the small locker room:
"When they come into contact with more super-species players and learn painful lessons, they will realize how rash and stupid their previous actions were."
"We just need to quietly observe and wait. When they have tasted the price and urgently seek help, that is the time for us to make an offer."
Xue Yang was a little confused when he heard this: "You mean, when they encounter a cannibal player... then
Human beings really have no power to resist, and many people may die."
"Well, people may die." When Jiang Qian said these words, there was almost no emotion.
It was as if he had expected something like this to happen.
Xue Yang turned to look at Jiang Qian's calm side face, but hesitated to speak.
The feeling of indifference and alienation exuding from Jiang Qian made Xue Yang feel strange and inexplicably distraught.
"Old Jiang, I think you have changed..."
Xue Yang whispered.
"What?"
"I always feel that you are different now than before, but I can't tell why."
Xue Yang scratched his messy yellow hair. This sudden realization 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 had such a temperament, and he had never understood Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian looked at Xue Yang:
"It's not that I have changed, it's that the world is changing. Don't forget, this is a replica world, the settings here are not real, and we don't need to constrain ourselves with the morals and rules of reality."
"The key to surviving in a dungeon is to understand the operating rules here, stay awake at all times, and act according to the rules rather than instinct."
"Don't be nervous, you are still a newbie, you will understand it in the future even if I don't tell you this."
Xue Yang was stunned and nodded thoughtfully.
He had just become a super species player and had only one C-level dungeon experience. He was powerless and embarrassed in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" and had to rely on Jiang Qian's judgment and decision-making in everything.
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 the nightmare difficulty, the most powerful existence in the trial dungeon; 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 disclosure.”
"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. We 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 free development period 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 you are a one-state cognitive body, as long as you hold back your nausea and eat a few more crawlers, you can quickly recover your super-species power and get out of trouble."
「
This just means that the key to dungeons 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. At this stage, we are just experiencing a real 'life and death, adjustment before the 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 the key at this stage is not 'survival,' then what is it?"
