Chapter 207 Hungry Ghosts The Hungry Demon of the End of the World Is Coming

Chapter 207 "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" The Hungry Demon is Coming

A weird rustling sound approached from the ventilation duct behind Xue Yang.

Xue Yang jumped out of the duct with a start! Adrenaline was surging.

He didn't dare to look back, but frantically grabbed the narrow ventilation duct window and jumped.

He didn't care about the protruding edges of the duct mouth to scratch his clothes and skin, and escaped from the monitoring room with the atmosphere perception ability as a navigation!

After leaving the room, he locked the door and ran towards the window in front.

That was the direction where Jiang Qian's green light came from.

In the blink of an eye, a shocking collision sound came from the locked door of the monitoring room, followed by the crisp sound of the door breaking.

"Old Jiang, help..." Xue Yang silently chanted the Qingxin Mantra.

But it couldn't stop the crawlers who "broke out of the door" from behind from coming one after another!

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Xue Yang used all his strength and ran with the passion of a 100-meter sprint! When he rushed towards the open glass window, he felt like fire was coming out of his throat:

"Old Jiang!!!"

...

At the top of the towering chimney in the distance, a thin and old curly-haired man with a few beast fangs hanging on his neck looked through the telescope and exclaimed in surprise:

"Who is it? There are actually humans in the ant nest... Did this guy fall from the sky? How did he get in..."

"Are you sure it's a human?"

Beside the curly-haired man, there was a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes and a long ponytail.

At this time, the woman turned her face to the side, and her deep and calm eyes focused on her companion.

"Yes, I'm sure." The curly-haired man swallowed his saliva.

The blonde woman raised the telescope with one hand and looked in the direction pointed by the curly-haired man.

The two are currently climbing on the ladder outside the chimney. Under the cloak covered with a sticky special substance, they are dusty and tattered clothes.

In addition, they each carried weapons and equipment of different models that looked "weathered", with both hot and cold weapons, just like special forces soldiers who were carrying out some high-risk missions.

"See?" The curly-haired man squinted one eye and snorted, "That group of creepers are besieging him, huh! This kid is going to jump out of the window and commit suicide!"

"No." The blonde woman's lips moved.

"Huh?"

In the vision of the two, Xue Yang, who ran to the window, slapped the huge glass window hard. Seeing that the creepers behind him were about to "rear-end", he paused and abnormally stepped back...

I saw a shadow flash in the camera, and a large piece of glass suddenly shattered!

...

"Something crashed in?... Who is special, is it a shell?"

"Don't talk, Victor, look carefully." The blonde woman's voice was calm.

But her forehead also oozed a thin layer of sweat due to her high concentration of attention.

In the limited clarity of the telescope, the "cannonball" that smashed the glass stood up in the smoke. The light blue wings behind him were gracefully folded, and the scales with green light appeared from under his torn clothes, forming an incredible beauty.

The blonde woman's pupils contracted, and the muscles of her arms tightened and trembled unconsciously.

Three years after the disaster, even though she was one of the very few survivors, she had never seen such a "human" with her own eyes! Or, that was no longer the human she understood.

"Hey, hey, I can't see it from this angle... Talia, can you see it clearly over there?" The curly-haired man named Victor complained.

Talia swallowed softly, slowly put down the telescope, and whispered: "New variant..."

"Ah?" Victor frowned, and his wrinkled cheeks added to the vicissitudes.

Talia took a few seconds to stabilize her emotions and repeated her judgment: "New variant, appeared in Lotus City..."

The vicissitudes on Victor's face turned into astonishment, and he was stunned by the words "new variant".

…

The second floor of the abandoned supermarket.

The moment Jiang Qian broke in, Xue Yang turned and fell to the side.

The shattered glass scattered a dense debris, which hit the creepers rushing behind Xue Yang like raindrops, forcing them to retreat instinctively.

Jiang Qian landed in the empty space that was given up, his body gradually straightened, and he calmly folded his wings.

He glanced at Xue Yang's position, and his fangs suddenly stretched out between his ten fingers, and he killed the creepers that rushed to him with lightning speed at the speed of a snake's shadow.

The creepers with giant pincer-like mouthparts and sharp tail stings were just a bunch of melons in front of the three-state fusion super species.

The whole process can be regarded as a one-sided massacre by Jiang Qian.

But Jiang Qian did not want to fight.

Xue Yang, who was standing aside, had just picked up two pieces of broken glass from the ground and was eager to help, but was supported by Jiang Qian who turned back and held his shoulders, and flew out of the supermarket through the broken window!

"Ah~~~ Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, slow down!"

"Quiet, you can't fall." Jiang Qian held Xue Yang's armpits with both hands and flew low.

He opened his spiritual vision and flew across two blocks at an amazing speed in the air, selecting a landing site.

Finally, they stopped on the rooftop of a row of three-story houses. Jiang Qian landed smoothly, put Xue Yang down, and then completely retracted his wings and scales, sitting on the ground and panting.

After continuously using super-species abilities, his physical consumption gradually exceeded the load.

It was strange that this level of consumption would not feel anything at all under normal circumstances, but now he was exhausted and panting... Jiang Qian was alert.

This "abnormality" was sensed on the way to the supermarket. It seems that using super-species power in the current dungeon world will accelerate fatigue and hunger more than in reality.

Xue Yang, who was beside him, calmed down after landing. When the dizziness subsided, he used his hands and feet to move towards Jiang Qian, and his voice seemed impatient: "Old Jiang, do you have anything to eat?"

He swallowed his saliva while speaking, and seemed not to realize that the scratch on his leg was bleeding...

I want to ask you... Jiang Qian's Adam's apple also rolled, suppressing the waves of hunger, and pressed Xue Yang's shoulder and said: "This house is a private house, let's go downstairs to look for it."

"Okay, okay!"

Xue Yang nodded slightly and got up hastily.

Will being injured also stimulate hunger? Jiang Qian secretly observed Xue Yang's reaction without further explanation or discussion, because the hunger was too annoying and he had to solve the urgent problem first.

The two pried open the lock of the rooftop of the single-family house and entered this unfamiliar living environment.

It seems that a middle-class family with a good life lived here before: the third floor is a leisure place and a home theater, the second floor is distributed with bedrooms, study and small living room, and the first floor is a kitchen, dining room, large living room and storage room.

Jiang Qian can imagine the livable scene in this house before the disaster, but now, every room here is like a utility room or even a garbage dump, covered with thick dust everywhere.

The further you go down, the stronger the stench.

In the three years since the disaster, in addition to the destruction of time, there are also terrible traces left by countless looters who came and went here.

After searching around, they did not find any food in the conventional sense. They were so poor that they didn't even have a grain of dog food left, let alone medical supplies for bandaging wounds.

It seems that all the supplies here have been looted or destroyed in the past three years...

The feeling of hunger burned in the stomachs of the two people.

"Old Jiang... I, grunt... I'm so hungry, how could this happen?"

Standing in the messy living room on the first floor, Xue Yang turned his head palely.

He was sweating all over, feeling irritable, his hands and feet were shaking, and he was constantly swallowing the saliva secreted by his salivary glands.

"How about eating soil?"

Jiang Qian's condition was not much better than Xue Yang's. He had just used his super-species ability intensively. When he couldn't find any edible materials, he calmly took out a small bag of "soil" from his pocket.

This was a collection marked as "Guanyin soil" that had just been collected from the master's study.

The so-called "Guanyin soil" is actually a kind of white clay that can be widely used in industry, ceramics and even medicine.

In addition, this soil is rich in minerals and has a stable structure at high temperatures. In the past, disaster victims often used it to fill their stomachs during famine years. It was a last resort food choice.

"Drink first."

Jiang Qian said, opening the palm-sized packaging bag and pouring the soil into his mouth!

Xue Yang was shocked at the time: "Old Jiang, you eat alone, shameless!"

He grabbed the remaining soil in his hand and licked it greedily...

Then, the two of them bent over and coughed at the same time!

"Ahem, ahem! It's so damn disgusting..."

"Ahem, why are you still fighting for it?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

"Okay, who told you to fight for it?" Jiang Qian patted Xue Yang on the back to prevent him from choking to death on the dirt. "There's a sack in the storage room."

"Nest???" Xue Yang was dumbfounded.

The hunger was temporarily relieved, and the two looked at each other for a long time, only to find the scene of fighting for dirt to eat just now inexplicably funny.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, do you think those things look like bullet ants?"

After relaxing, Xue Yang finally had the energy to mention the army of crawlers he encountered in the supermarket.

The giant claw-like mouthparts, the poisonous tail sting, including the crawling posture and limb morphology, are all similar to ants.

As a top student in the Department of Biology, Xue Yang identified the subdivision category at first glance by the characteristics: bullet ants.

"Indeed, it should be."

Jiang Qian affirmed.

The reason why he was so sure was that based on the information Xue Yang observed, he also obtained the poisonous properties from the crawlers through contact with the fangs.

Bullet ants are mainly distributed in tropical rainforests and are known as "one of the ten most toxic animals". Even in the ant family, they are terrifying aliens.

"So the 'zombies' in this world are crawling killers combined with bullet ant genes?"

Xue Yang exclaimed in a low voice, and swallowed his saliva again.

Jiang Qian smiled:

"Although it is too early to draw a conclusion now... but in my opinion, those crawlers are highly similar to the metamorphosis mutants involved in the previous official case. It's just that their aggressiveness... doesn't seem to be enough to be enemies with most super-species players."

"If the trouble we have to solve is just a group of ordinary metamorphosis mutants, then the difficulty of the dungeon does not seem to be defined as a nightmare level."

"Of course, perhaps this is the reason why the dungeon sealed our props and imposed harsh restrictions on the use of super-species abilities, such as: strong hunger."

Xue Yang nodded a little blankly, and swallowed unconsciously.

Jiang Qian looked at Xue Yang: "Didn't you eat enough just now?"

"Fuck, just two mouthfuls are enough to fill the gaps between your teeth! Are you sure there is still a sack?" Xue Yang was eager to try, his eyes shining.

"This..." Jiang Qian snorted and laughed, "It's almost gone!"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them rushed to the storage room at the same time!

"Jiang Qian, you are too naive! Just for a bag of soil, is it worth it for you to fight so hard?" Xue Yang hugged his friend's thigh tightly.

"Then what are you doing?" Jiang Qian supported Xue Yang and walked forward, "I went to get the soil, I didn't say I would take it all by myself..."

The two were in a stalemate at the entrance.

Suddenly, a sound similar to knocking on the door came from the door:

"Knock, knock"

Accompanied by a tempting "fragrance"...

Xue Yang's eyes shrank, and he suddenly stopped, and the saliva in his mouth was secreted rapidly!

Jiang Qian also stopped and looked at the door vigilantly.

...

Canyon Lao Liu, who is well versed in tracking, evacuated cautiously all the way to the outside of the station.

Knowing that he and Qianlong Wuyong were matched to the same copy, he was extremely excited and full of fighting spirit! He tried to kill the other party in seconds through this most intuitive comparison.

The more eager he was to win, the more cautious he was.

"This dungeon lasts 72 days, so the fatal crisis shouldn't happen so soon. On the contrary, we should play the long game and find configurations such as side quests and hidden quests to clear the dungeon perfectly!"

"Well... the important thing is to do it better than Qianlongwuyong! Only in this way can those Qianlongwuyong's brain-dead fans wake up a little."

Canyon Laoliu maintained a steady pace and kept an eye on the surrounding environment, memorizing and analyzing the many characteristics of the city under the background of the disaster.

He was afraid that he would miss important information due to a mistake, thus slowing down the progress of the dungeon strategy.

After all, there are not many opportunities to slap Qianlongwuyong in the face. In the eyes of Canyon Laoliu, he must firmly grasp this opportunity and win Qianlongwuyong at all costs to have a chance to counterattack.

Whether he can become famous in the future depends on this battle!

While planning secretly, he jumped up from the archway at the exit.

Looking down at the situation outside the station from a high place...

The eyes that were originally slightly excited lit up a different brilliance at this moment!

Rows of skinny, crawling figures close to the ground were densely appearing in the vision of Canyon Lao Liu.

He swallowed his saliva subconsciously, looking at the sharp claws of the crawlers like pliers and the sharp tail stings on the buttocks, and secretly evaluated:

"Are these ugly things the infected in the current disaster world? They look very weak..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound beside him, which made Canyon Lao Liu's already highly alert nerves tense up even more.

He looked back suddenly, and a crawler with a huge mouthpart was shaking its tentacles on the top of its head and approaching in front of him.

Until this moment, he finally saw the true appearance of the crawler:

Skinny, rough and burnt skin, covered with thorns, sunken cheeks, but abnormally bulging eye sockets.

There was no spirit in their eyes, showing a dirty look.

"Go to hell!"

Canyon Lao Liu threw a heavy punch without fear.

"Crack".

The head of the creeper was blown away...

The half of the body that remained in place was trembling, and a stream of juice spurted out from the neck. The limbs that lost the control of the brain trembled again and again, and finally fell from the archway and died.

Canyon Lao Liu stared at the strange corpse on the ground and couldn't help swallowing his saliva again.

So hungry...

What's going on?

He continued to stare at the incomplete corpse of the creeper on the ground, and his appetite surged more and more vigorously.

It seemed that what was scattered on the ground was not the infected and transformed monster, but the crispy and fragrant roast chicken, or even the spicy and refreshing fried skewers.

"Pah"

A strand of saliva slipped from the teeth of Canyon Lao Liu.

...

"Tap, tap"

"Crack, click"

The strange noise at the door became more and more urgent.

Xue Yang sniffed the air carefully, swallowing the saliva secreted by his salivary glands, and he suddenly rushed towards Jiang Qian anxiously!

However, he was held down by Jiang Qian.

"Wait, don't go out yet." Jiang Qian swallowed his saliva and said.

"I'm...hungry, Lao Jiang, aren't you hungry? There's food outside, believe me, it's true!"

Hunger was torturing them. He knew very well what was outside the door. That thing was really disgusting, but it made them want to "eat"!

Now Jiang Qian understood very well the animal torture that Ye Xiaojing had suffered.

That's why he strongly resisted this feeling of being out of control led by his appetite!

"The things outside are not food."

Jiang Qian spoke with difficulty. He was trying to persuade Xue Yang and restrain himself.

So Xue Yang simply kept silent, but increased his struggle!

The physical consumption continued to increase the burden of hunger on the body. Jiang Qian simply slapped Xue Yang on the back of his neck with a knife and knocked him down.

Then he swallowed his saliva and moved the Guanyin soil from the storage room. After eating a few handfuls, he picked up a kitchen knife from the kitchen and walked to the door.

The strange noise continued, separated by a door.

Under the pressure of intense hunger and food shortage, Jiang Qian gave up the use of super-species abilities and chose to use the most primitive and fierce means to violently suppress the "inferior ingredients" that were delivered to his door.

...

In the abandoned car factory.

Zhang Bizi, who maintained his half-orc state, was sitting on the machine tool rack that had long been stopped, holding a dark crawler in his arms and eating it slowly.

Under his feet, countless crawler corpses had piled up like a hill.

He chewed the black "meat" carefully, satisfying his surging appetite without scruples.

His small eyes occasionally swept over the prey passing by in the darkness, and then fell on the empty bones, as if calculating the food reserves.

Just when he was eating happily, the closed workshop door "clicked" and the lock core turned.
