Qi Yue's movements were very fast, and after a while, she cleaned herself up, and even the dried zombie blood clots on her clothes were taken care of by her.

In the convenience store, Qi Yuan was sitting in front of the cash register, tapping on countless slender codes that she couldn't understand on an old-fashioned laptop.

Hearing the girl's movements, he raised his head and greeted with a slight smile: "Qi Yue, you're not a local, are you?

While speaking, Qi Yuan quickly pulled out two military folding chairs under the food cabinet and placed them next to the original freezer in the store, and the tables and chairs were barely made up.

It just so happens that the snacks and tea in the store are very rich, and it is polite to make people feel comfortable. The delicate and elegant girl smiled shyly, and took the folding chair handed over by Qi Yuan with some embarrassment:

"Hmm. I didn't know what was going on, but when I opened my eyes, I realized that I had fallen into a pile of zombies. Brother Qi, can you tell me a little bit about the specific situation here?"

"Of course you can, after all, after tonight, the real end times will come......" As for what kind of apocalyptic escape it is, Qi Yuan decided to be vague.

Because...... The origin of this girl is by no means simple. He has something that may need a little inducement to get an answer.

"The end times of the world...... It's not the kind of Su Shuang's 'strong man respected' and 'the weak eat the strong' in novels, films and television. It's the kind of powerlessness that is 'as small as a cockroach, groveling and surviving for life, and as a result, he is still easily slapped to death by someone'.

In such a world where etiquette and music are broken. As long as you're strong enough, you'll be able to live a good life like the protagonists.

But in this world, there are more ordinary people. That kind of paradoxical creature that is unremarkable, weak and tenacious. Moreover, its apocalyptic setting is completely different from the setting of other writers in order to meet the needs of the protagonists-

Here, the 'zombies' who have suffered from radiation lesions are the lucky ones after 'natural selection', but those ordinary people and people with abilities are the outcasts.

Let's put it this way. The aliens in this world are like amphibians born from the sea clan after the differentiation of land and sea in ancient times. And the 'zombie' group is the 'pseudo-terrestrial creatures' that have changed because of the great changes in the environment.

They have completely lost the ability to live in the seawater, and can only continue to evolve, and the weak are constantly eliminated, until the level of the 'Zombie King', they can be regarded as the real evolutionary success, and adapt to this mutated high-radiation world.

Just like the terrestrial creatures after the successful evolution of ancient times, they are completely accustomed to the scorching sunlight and the air with only a slight humidity, and even slowly begin to enjoy it.

And those ordinary people who have not undergone any mutations are still 'aquatic animals'. can only survive in the past environment, even if the zombies don't eat and the aliens don't deceive, they can't adapt to this diseased world.

The crystal nucleus in the zombie's mind is a derivative of the radiation source, which is very similar to the trace elements practiced by the supernatural, but it is completely different.

The only thing in common is that the trace elements that escaped overnight at the beginning of the end of the world are also derivatives of the radiation source. Or rather, the diseased body. ”

While explaining this long list of false information that had nothing to do with this world, Qi Yuan's eyes kept falling on Qi Yue's face, observing her every subtle movement and expression.

It's a pity that there was no panic and outburst that he expected to be exposed, or the strangeness and questioning that he didn't speak the right way.

The girl listened very simply, looked at her with respect in her eyes, and nodded her head from time to time along with his explanation.

Occasionally, when I have any doubts, I will raise my hand obediently as if I was in class. After Qi Yuan nodded cooperatively, he would ask a question:

"Ahh......h

So it seems......

Qi Yuan lowered his head and took a sip of his homemade flower tea in the thermos cup, and the mist quickly spread on the lenses, almost instantly enveloping the surging thoughts under his eyes.

However, he still gently continued to explain along the pit dug before: "Well, there is no endless road to heaven. Sometimes, danger and opportunity coexist. ”

"Ahh

"Yes, in the last days, you can rely on the crystal nucleus in the zombie's mind to upgrade, and the more high-level zombies are, the more precious they are. Qi Yuan was amused by her and laughed directly, and Qi Yue realized how stupid his behavior was just now, and his whole face instantly turned red and was about to smoke.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan also knew the measure, resolved the embarrassment in a few words, and continued to bring the topic in the direction he wanted. Qi Yue didn't feel anything wrong, and kept following Qi Yuan's train of thought:

"This is a familiar routine...... Wait, there's a bug in this setting! This human being is so weak and has no ability, how can they defeat those zombies who are several times stronger than them and are not afraid of death?"

"Therefore, here we have to carefully praise its human ability cultivation system. In this world, the overall stage of human ability is-

[Exercise the body, fill the internal strength, and then unite the inside and outside, practice to the transformation realm, and investigate life and death. Approximate to the Xiuzhen system.

The specific subdivision is from the "chaos, clarity, and small knowledge" of forging the body to the refining of "learning, acceptance, and learning".

After that, the hierarchy of 12 layers and 36 levels, such as "self-knowledge, helplessness, and moderation" in the transformation stage to "Yazheng, Mandate of Heaven, and Great Dao" in the final barrier-breaking stage. ”

"Ah, it's really complicated. is obviously a zombie siege like a foreign sci-fi blockbuster, and it has created an atmosphere of ancient cultivation. ”

Qi Yue complained, and with a little headache, he wrote down those nouns that he had never heard of on the paper one by one.

Sure enough, is this the fundamental difference between traveling and reading novels? In the novels she read before, the cultivation realm was basically unified Qi training, foundation building, Yuan Ying, and so on.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the girl's subconscious note-taking action, and regardless of whether she could accept so much world information at once, he continued to introduce:

"Well~ Although there are many types of abilities, they generally travel in the same direction. On the zombie side, it relies on the evolution of the crystal nucleus in the brain - over time, the zombie crystal nucleus will automatically upgrade under the "strange magnetic field" generated by the radiation source of this world.

The upgrade process is irreversible. If someone is killed by an accident and the crystal nucleus is exposed to sunlight, or if someone simply absorbs and digests it with an ability, evolution will end completely.

At first, it is a one-year upgrade, and after four years, it evolves to a half-year level. This time, the time period will be shortened to half of the original time, but it will evolve into a level every three months, but it will evolve into three months.

Then there is another reduction in the transition time period, and after a year, the zombie upgrade time will be as fast as once a month and a half. Immediately after that, half a year later, half a month was upgraded to a level.

Then the transition time of just three months quickly turned to a week...... Time is getting shorter, evolution is getting faster, and the levels are getting higher and higher......

If I don't stop it, I'll take a look...... It only takes seven years and nine months. The zombie brigade can rise all the way to the peak of level 24, which is more than double the level of humans!

Fortunately, the zombies must pass level 12 to become the 'Zombie King' in order to regain their senses.

Otherwise, the world will continue to follow the rules of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Humanity will be eliminated......"

"What?!" Qi Yue exclaimed, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to interrupt Qi Yuan's introduction. But after hearing such a terrifying future, she really couldn't calm down:

"It stands to reason that even if that chip has great activity, it is very difficult to affect the activity of the brain that has long since died and even decayed, so how can it still be 'revived'?"

Qi Yuan could completely understand, he gently patted Qi Yue's shoulder, motioned for her to sit down and said slowly:

"Of course, there are limits to the zombies' upgrades - they can't hurt their brains. Once you are really brain dead, it is useless even if you upgrade your crystal nucleus to full level. ”

"It's cruel to have a world like this......"

"Yes, the instinct and hunger for power inside the crystal nucleus will force the zombies to continue devouring humans. On the human side, because they are afraid of being eaten by zombies and killed by their own kind, they must resist and become stronger, so they also need to kill zombies to get chips.

It is also mixed with ancient cultivation elements, so this kind of chip is similar to the aura of ancient cultivation, but it is a solid version. In other words, it is the post-apocalyptic version of the spirit stone. ”

Qi Yue bit her lip and clenched the corner of her clothes uncomfortably: "Anyway, it is impossible for the two sides to reconcile, right? Unless this diseased world returns to normal, and the two sides work together, there will be no superfluous thoughts." How is that possible, though?"

"Yes......" Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, but secretly added in his heart: If you have the aura of the protagonist, it will be different.

The novel he wrote when he was sick in junior high school is that the protagonist has worked all the way from a small security guard to the leader of the base, and even the zombie king who has regained his consciousness has been captured, resulting in people willing to control their low-level zombies and not eat humans, or only attack the forces of men who disobey him.

This is also the later ending of Qi Yuan's novel.

It's far away, anyway, the more Qi Yuan looks back, the more he feels that it is not a good feeling in his heart. When I first wrote the article, I brought in the protagonist, but I didn't think that Su Shuang was enough. Anyway, no matter how other people and forces reduce their intelligence, whether the character image collapses or not, they must push the long-awaited pair of dog men and women to the throne.

But now, he lives in this world.

In any case, it is impossible for him to look at hundreds of millions of ordinary people in this world, just because of a few simple words of description on his keyboard, an innocuous setting, and just disappear into this world.

Since he Qi Yuan can come here, with that system that doesn't know the depths. He has to do what he can to do well. Even if it's just to help one more person out of the danger of death.

He can't let the waste material abilities and ordinary people in this world like him die just because they are not the protagonist, they don't have the protagonist's aura and the so-called "law of the jungle".

"The law of the jungle" sounds good. In fact, it is all those who have power and power, pulling a fig leaf for their selfish behavior, a high-sounding excuse for abusing the mentally handicapped.

Especially when we are all ordinary people, with family to protect and friends to help, all of them are like cockroaches, no matter what miserable and difficult environment it is. You have to work hard to survive and get used to this collapsed world.

Since he was able to create such a world of decayed etiquette for the sake of "sales" and "sister's love", he is not afraid to spend his life protecting these lives he likes.

even, fight for this life for them to have a bright future. The only thing to be thankful for is that this world is called Reverse Time.

His Honkai world is just one of the holographic projections. Right now...... It depends on what the people behind the game want to do.

"By the way, Brother Qi, what level of cultivation have your abilities reached? Eh, wait!" Qi Yue, who had been led by Qi Yuan's nose for most of the day, finally reacted to something wrong!

"Yesterday, I saw that those zombies were obviously slow and weak, it stands to reason that this should be the early stage of the end of the world, but why do you know the process and cultivation system of the later stage of this world?"

"Poof, silly girl, I finally found out~ It's not in vain that I spent so much tongue. Qi Yuan didn't hide it from her, after repeatedly testing and confirming that it was harmless, he was completely ruthless to this stupid girl.

After all......

"Brother Qi...... Could it be that you are a reborn?!, and what kind of friendship did I have with you in my previous life?"

"Haha, why are you so cute. What's going on with you, I'm the one. ”

This is also the most heartily laughing since crossing into this inexplicable other world.

The kind of joy that came out of his heart soaked into his smile and spread, and the warm emotions like the sun were also transmitted to Qi Yue's heart.

She touched her nose a little awkwardly and whispered, "So you already guessed that I was a traverser?!"

"Well, after all, so am I. It's a pity that I'm not wearing it, but I'm wearing it. ”

"You're a really disgusting person. But seriously, Brother Qi, how do you know the progress of this world? Or rather, are you wearing books?"

"Clever. But that's only half right. Qi Yuan said casually with peanuts and tea, and when Qi Yue heard this hidden head and tail, all kinds of selling words, he couldn't wait to beat people: "So what's going on?"

Qi Yuan took a sip of flower tea, and took out a roll of something I don't know what it was from his arms:

"It's true that the world is made up of novels, but there is more than one book.

The world we are in now is not really a post-apocalyptic world. It is an amusement park projected by holographic technology for people to entertain and hunt for treasures.

What I've just said is just some of the settings in this role-playing scavenger hunt, and they all come from a web novel I once wrote. ”

"Wait, Brother Qi, you say slow down. I can't react a bit......

In other words, we are not really fighting zombies in the last days. It's all just a game, or a façade. We're all going to be fine, are we?"

Qi Yue was trying to sort out the complicated thoughts that were wrapped in a ball of yarn, and Qi Yuan also listened, and he could also point out the occasional mistakes and omissions of the other party in time:

"Not necessarily. This world is much scarier than a zombie siege. After all, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. The real danger is always out of sight. ”

It's like the system that found him earlier and forcibly bound it together.

After these days of temptation, and the strange content it released in the past two days, he has roughly figured out the most critical questions:

This pirated system is different from the previous system 173, it is lifeless, and it has no independent thinking ability.

Not to mention the ability to transform or fluent demeanor speech, it even needs to rely on the internal programming of the system to answer the host's questions.

It's just a tool.

also because of the stark contrast between the piracy system and Xiaolu, Qi Yuan had a conjecture...... Could it be that the system is a mass-produced energy harvester driven by an unknown energy?

Of course, this conjecture did not come out of thin air-

As early as a month ago, the moment Qi Yuan tried to pluck the flower from his head to test the system, he clearly sensed that there seemed to be some energy secretly overflowing from the top of his head.

He felt it carefully, but found that this unknown mysterious energy was somewhat like an emotion—joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment, but it was more extensive.

And the so-called task of collecting "sunlight, rain and soil" previously released by the system made Qi Yuan even more determined in his thoughts.

Hundreds of complex and subtle emotions in the human body should be able to provide energy to it, and the stronger the mood swings, the greater the energy absorbed.

And the eight strongest basic emotions: grief, fear, amazement, acceptance, ecstasy, rage, vigilance, and hatred are the most systematic and receive the most energy.

The four emotions of lust, hatred, anger, and laziness bring basic energy and promote the host's emotional disorder, which is always emotionally exploding.

In order to better absorb energy, the system selects the candidate who reads the writing host as a fat pig, scans the host's temperament, habits, and abilities through a technology, and then makes predictions and generates scripts.

And the supporting roles needed by the script, in order to better harvest leeks, are naturally those "to be attacked" characters who are in line with the aesthetics of the fat pig in all aspects and can affect his mind with every move.

When the host dies or the system has absorbed enough energy, the pirated system may break away from the small world forcibly distorted by the energy and return to its owner for its use, and then the energy will find some nascent small world to repeat the old tricks.

As for the so-called cards that are treated as carrots by the system and hung in front of the host. Qi Yuan guessed that it should be a kind of existence similar to a power bank, storing energy.

However, I haven't seen the card itself yet, and he can't analyze what the specific situation is.

After all, because after dying drunk, his already broken soul was summoned and forcibly crossed, his current ability is only the first level of body forging, and even his strength in the first grade of elementary school in his previous life is not good?!

The strange code that Qi Yue saw on his laptop after he got out of the bath just now was the forbidden rune he had created in his previous life.

It's a pity that with his current three-legged cat's kung fu, at most he can only turn off the prompt sound after the system frantically harvests leeks.

Although it was chicken, Qi Yuan was still quite satisfied. He didn't want to turn himself into a refined egoist because of the nihilistic pie drawn by this garbage system.

Gain strength by deceiving and hurting a girl's trust and feelings?

Sooner or later...... This system, as well as the garbage behind it, he will find it all!
