Chapter 245 'The Apocalypse of Hungry Ghosts' is reborn
Monat slowly and persistently propped up his body, trying his best to make himself eye level with Jiang Qian:
"That person is dead. As for my mission, Lisa Bai Yin should have told you."
His expression didn't look like he was being cryptic.
Jiang Qian was silent for a long while, while digesting Monat's answer, he recalled Yin Lisabai's original words when she "frankly met" with him, and repeated it in front of Monat:
"She said that you were the best agent in the empire and you were responsible for monitoring her daily life."
Jiang Qian looked at Monat and smiled:
"But I think she may have misunderstood you. At least I have never seen anyone under surveillance live as freely and nourishingly as she does."
"You're not spying on her, you're more like protecting her."
Monat remained silent.
But his vaguely accelerated breathing rhythm confirmed Jiang Qian's idea.
"Can I arrange for you to protect the deceased Yin Lisabai... Are you a close confidant of Dr. Kate?"
Confirming the expression on Monat's face, Jiang Qian continued:
"Don't be surprised. It's easy to guess. I didn't expect that Dr. Kate has insiders in the Imperial Intelligence Department. This story is more complicated than I expected."
"In the end what you want?"
Cold sweat slipped quietly from Monat's forehead.
He suddenly discovered that the sense of oppression carried by Jiang Qian sometimes had nothing to do with force.
It seems that as long as you are looked at by those eyes that never seem to see waves, no matter how deeply hidden the secret is, it will be easily read.
"I?"
Jiang Qian looked calm:
"You should know that there are a lot of 'players' here, and we have been divided into different camps."
"For me, the next task is to guard the seaside military fortress and prevent players from hostile camps from invading the mysterious land of the North Sea."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qian paused, thought for a while and said:
"The guardians will stand together with humanity and face the darkest time... or so the mission says."
Monat opened his eyes and stared at Jiang Qian without moving for a long time. His expression was complicated, both worried and vaguely filled with expectations.
All caution, vigilance, curiosity, and worry condensed into one sentence: "What do you need me to do?"
…
Inside the Academic Affairs Building of Ideal Town.
In Yin Lisabai's private reception room, several participants briefly met each other.
In addition to the hosts Yin Lisabai and Monat, as well as Jiang Qian and Xue Yang who are regular guests, there are also several new faces in this room: Canyon Laoliu, who is wearing an orange sports suit and goggles, and a simple, honest and dark-skinned man.
, Northeastern home-cooked dishes that just solved the food problem for everyone here.
It's 3 o'clock in the morning.
Three hours have passed since the second announcement of player coordinates.
"Without further ado, I will make my story short. As the guardians of the human camp and key figures in the human camp, we are probably running out of time before the so-called 'darkest moment' arrives."
Jiang Qian was already standing in front of the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk and began to quickly sketch on the page.
He methodically switched the colors of the chalk and completely restored the map and player distribution seen when the coordinates were announced for the second time on the blackboard:
"This is our location. This is a military fortress of the Joint Defense Forces. The coastline of the North Sea is very long. The specific location of the mysterious place is not marked on the map..."
Jiang Qianqian focused on explaining the map he had drawn.
Canyon Lao Liu and Dongbei Jiancai looked at each other, and both saw surprise and even horror in each other's eyes.
——What a perverted ability this is!
This doesn't include all the player IDs he remembered...
Yin Lisabai and Monat frowned slightly at the detailed diagram in front of them. They didn't know where the diagram came from and what the importance was.
Yin Lisabai couldn't help but ask: "What are those red dots and green dots?"
"Red represents the hunters, that is, the players who attacked Ideal Town; green represents the defenders, that is, us. The goal is the same as humans, which is to prevent the hunters from seizing military fortresses and invading the mysterious places on the North Sea." Jiang Qian explained.
road.
Yin Lisabai opened her lips and teeth slightly: "Why are there so few green spots..."
During the actual operation of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse", very few players chose to fast, so the number of guardians was indeed dwarfed by the number of hunters.
"And the truth is often in the hands of a few people."
Jiang Qian said as he marked several distinctive red dots near the military fortress on the seaside.
They are already very close to the military fortress and it seems they will arrive in a few days.
Jiang Qian pointed to the two nearest red dots and said:
"According to the scale calculation, taking the traveling speed of off-road vehicles as an example, these two groups of hunters will arrive at the military fortress in three days, and the remaining groups will arrive in about five days. And if we want to rush to the rescue, we will not consider
In extreme cases, it will take at least five days."
"In other words, if we want to assemble and set off, and hurry up and go slowly, we can only arrive at the battle scene after most of the hunters have begun to attack the military fortress."
"Obviously, we do not have an advantage in terms of location, timing, or quantity."
Regarding the meaning of "ethnic group", Jiang Qian has also explained it to Yin Lisabai and Monat, and now everyone has achieved information synchronization.
Therefore, when everyone heard this, their nerves tensed up unconsciously.
Before Jiang Qian dismantled the current situation, they did not realize that the situation was so urgent.
"I asked why they haven't contacted us for a long time..." Yin Lisabai unconsciously looked at Monat. She was naturally referring to the joint defense force that had previous dealings with Ideal Town.
Monat frowned and asked Jiang Qian: "What do you mean by 'extreme cases'?"
"I."
Jiang Qian said simply:
"Flying at extremely fast speeds, without carrying any heavy objects, I can arrive before the other two groups of hunters."
Several people looked at Jiang Qian with envy or admiration.
Canyon Lao Liu thought attentively:
"According to the normal speed of travel, the battle may be over by the time we arrive at the battlefield, and it will be useless if we go there. We may even be regarded as a hostile force by our own camp."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If Qianlong Wuyong takes the lead and gets in touch with the human military fortress before the hunter attacks, or reaches a coordination, then we will attack from both front and back and cooperate well.
It just makes up for the disadvantage in numbers!”
Jiang Qian showed approval, and everyone else's eyes lit up one after another!
"I think it's reliable! With Lao Jiang's strength, even if he acts alone, he won't make any mistakes. He can just strike first!" Xue Yang said frankly.
"It's not like there were no mistakes at all."
Canyon Lao Liu said and looked at Jiang Qian:
"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but our identity. How can we convince the military fortress?"
This problem is exactly what Jiang Qian is preparing to solve immediately.
Yin Lisabai raised her hand politely: "I can show you the relevant documents from Ideal Town, or I can write a handwritten letter to prove your identity and intention."
Jiang Qian nodded: "This is one of them. I also need a personal token of yours in case of emergency."
"Private token?" Yin Lisabai was a little confused.
She doesn't understand what key role her current identity, besides being the leader of Ideal Town, can play.
"Monat will explain this to you later. You should think about it first. It's best to hand it over to me before setting off at dawn."
"The next thing to discuss is the layout of personnel involved in the military fortress rescue..."
Jiang Qian calmly presided over the progress of the meeting:
"In terms of players, judging from the information and coordinates released today, some players in the Guardian camp will choose to stay away from the whirlpool and wait and see what happens; while the other group of enterprising players are the ones we need to unite with as soon as possible."
"Lao Liu is the most suitable for this task. The first condition to unite them is to find them. Northeast Home Cooking will cooperate with you, and he will be your translator."
The two people whose names were called were startled at the same time.
Jiang Qian noticed the two people's gaze: "What's the problem?"
"Well, I think..." Canyon Lao Liu hesitated.
“No problem! Overcome the difficulties and ensure the completion of the task!
"Report on the establishment of home-cooked dishes in Northeast China.
Jiang Qian said with satisfaction: "Try to overcome the difficulties as much as possible. When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first work hard for his mind and body... If you have to be restrained, you will get used to it."
"What about me?" Xue Yang asked eagerly.
"You go with Monat and Yin Lisabai."
Jiang Qian withdrew his gaze and continued:
"In addition to the line of guardian players, quasi-state cognitive bodies that are ideally infected and cured can also play a role, but they are still very fragile compared to most super species players, so remember to do what you can. You don't need me for this
The details have been arranged.”
As he spoke, he looked at Monat.
"I know." Mona nodded.
"Wait, that means the red dots you are facing are not individual people, but groups?"
Yin Lisabai showed obvious worry:
"With your current numbers, how on earth are you going to compete with those hunters who have tribes?"
She already had a rough understanding of the intentions of players like Jiang Qian, and had seen with her own eyes that Jiang Qian had demonstrated extraordinary abilities and saved his ideals from fire and water twice, but she still could not convince herself of the disparity in front of her!
"What would happen if those hunters were allowed to cross the North Sea and seize the so-called mysterious place?"
Yin Lisabai asked the key question.
Jiang Qian slowly shook his head.
This made Yin Lisabai even more uneasy, but her upbringing forced her to calm down:
"The darkest moment. Does the 'darkest moment' you just mentioned refer to the racial crisis that mankind is about to face?"
Yin Lisabai's words also aroused the vigilance of Canyon Lao Liu, Northeast Home Cooking and even Xue Yang.
What does the guidance information given after the dungeon announces the faction mean to the humans in the dungeon? What does it mean to the players?
These are all unknowns.
"That's a good question."
Jiang Qian was obviously different from others. He did not seem to be troubled by this problem and said calmly:
"To explore related issues, I arranged some unconventional operations."
As he spoke, he turned sideways and pointed to several other cities displayed on the blackboard map:
"I learned from the prisoners that the Twin Cities adjacent to Lotus City have side missions that are different from Lotus City. They came here to rob because the mission in this city could not be easily solved, so they wanted to come here to take a chance. Sure enough,
Let them encounter it...but they are more unfortunate and encounter a nail-biting household."
"Based on this, I infer that there may be different branch lines hidden in several other cities shown on the map."
"Note that this confrontation is a camp confrontation, and there are players of different camps in each city. In other words, as long as the information exchange within the same camp is sufficient, it is possible for us to clearly explore the entire current world view.
"
"By then, the information advantage we have may be more valuable than our numerical advantage in turning the tide of the war."
Jiang Qian finished speaking in one breath, Canyon Lao Liu, Northeast Home Cooking, Xue Yang's eyes were fixed on the five cities drawn on the blackboard:
In addition to Lotus City, the Twin Cities, Pendulum City, Pulse City, Dragon City, Frozen City...
The names of every city are so suspicious!
But Monat and Yin Lisabai appear to be more "settled". They are not gamers, so they don't think there is anything strange about the cities they are familiar with.
"So how do you plan to fully exchange information?" Canyon Lao Liu couldn't wait to ask.
"This is easy," Jiang Qian said with a smile, "use the postman."
"???"
…
In the closed room, Beth suddenly jumped up from the bed!
She gasped for breath, the cold sweat on her body had solidified, some of her gorgeous orange curly hair was frozen on her cheeks, her makeup had faded, and she looked weak and embarrassed.
"Asshole..."
Her whole body was enveloped in the irritability of smoking addiction.
Thoughts flashed through my mind, and I remembered Jiang Qian's cold face holding a scalpel, and my heart trembled for no reason.
Then, she discovered something even worse:
The node of the target process "food selection, group, migration" in the copy visualization has disappeared!
She can clearly feel the changes in her body. The abilities gained through cannibalism, such as the ability to infect the community, are no longer perceptible at the moment...
Just when she was trying to remember what the hell was wrong with her, that all-too-familiar hunger that made her heartbroken and unbearable instantly filled her entire consciousness.
Humans, the smell of humans outside the door, made her almost crazy with discomfort!
"Open, open the door...open!"
Beth stumbled and bumped against the door, then waved her arms and barely slapped the door.
"Pah, pah, pah"
The feeling of hunger deprived her of the strength to use super-species skills, causing her current physical strength to be worse than that of an ordinary person.
So hungry!
Under the constant attack of hunger, Beth no longer had the strength to continue knocking on the door.
The frantic roar turned into whining and begging:
"Open the door, help me..."
Colorless liquid slipped from her beautiful chin, and she could no longer tell whether it was tears or saliva.
Just when Beth thought she was about to die of hunger, the unmoving door in front of her suddenly opened slowly.
Beth lay on the ground, looking up at the halo of light coming from the crack in the door, and the stern young man looking at her condescendingly.
She opened her mouth.
She saw the hand holding the scalpel handing her a piece of bread...
bread?
food?!
At that moment, Beth seemed like a hungry ghost incarnate!
She rushed forward suddenly, stretched her neck and bit the piece of bread, biting it tightly! Then, she used her tongue to roll up the saliva and wolfed down the piece of bread!
This series of actions was almost independent of her own will, or in other words, her own will no longer played a decisive role in the face of the terrifying appetite.
When the food slid down the esophagus and into the stomach, Beth felt like she had ascended to heaven.
Until she heard Jiang Qian's voice:
"Be obedient and have bread to eat every day."
Jiang Qian's voice was emotionless, but it made Beth tremble all over.
But she couldn't refuse a food provider, she couldn't do it! Because the torture of hunger was so terrible...
"good."
Jiang Qian handed out the second piece of bread expressionlessly, and while Beth was devouring it, he reached out and touched her head and cheeks:
"By the way, congratulations on your new life."

Typos and flaws will be corrected first and then corrected.
Jiang Qian's birthday is here. If you have time, you can go and like the character card~
