"The key at this stage is not 'survival, what is it?'"

Xue Yang felt that his brain could no longer catch up with Jiang Qian's train of thought, so he simply asked more directly.

Jiang Qian smiled, "Do you remember why I didn't choose to indulge my appetite in the first place?"

Xue Yang thought for a while, and his mind moved: "I remember you said that we should do the opposite: we must be cautious in all the behaviors that the copy induces us to do!"

"That's right."

Jiang Qian affirmed Xue Yang's reaction speed: "Since I came here, I have been observing and thinking, transforming into an infected person of bullet ants, greedy appetite, hunger, and a sense of loss of control...... All of this is similar to the 'mutation' in the world of superspecies."

"Maybe it's due to chance, or maybe it's out of caution about the logic of the dungeon, but in short, I'm not very appetizing to the logic of gaining power by devouring the infected and the human natives."

"At the level of the super-species world, once a player undergoes an abnormality, his energy structure will be unbalanced or even collapse, which means that the entire career will stagnate and his future will be ruined."

"If the logic of cataclysm and the logic of mutation are in the same vein, does that mean that the way of survival to indulge one's appetite and gain strength, and the one who chooses to restrain one's appetite like us, are actually equivalent to the choice of two evolutionary paths?"

Speaking of this, Xue Yang suddenly reacted: "Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this!"

He thought about the first time he encountered the snake hand black trench coat, and the two of them had discussed the logical possibility of the player eating people to become stronger.

At that time, they had speculated that the degree of strength might be related to the number of cannibals and creepers.

"So you mean that the core at this stage is not survival, but the 'choice' of the way to survive?"

Without waiting for Jiang Qian to answer, Xue Yang immediately became confused again:

"Since it is a choice of survival, what are the conditions of reward and punishment? Cannibals, eater creepers, can directly gain power, but what about us?"

"We choose to restrain our appetite, but what is our reward?"

Jiang Qian smiled and said unceremoniously, "How do I know, I'm not a roundworm in the stomach of the copy."

Xue Yang was speechless for a while.

I remembered that all the above discussions were based on Jiang Qian's conjecture and speculation, but there was no conclusive evidence.

In fact, the clear information available to them is still very scarce.

"Alas......" Xue Yang slipped on the bench, "I'd better sleep a little longer, it's better to save my strength when I fall asleep."

However, at this moment, the sound of children running and playing came from outside the locker room door.

The militia at the gate seemed to have gone to relieve themselves and was not nearby.

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang stopped communicating and looked curiously at the small window at the door.

At the same time, the voices of several children were clearly heard through the small window:

"Wait, you guys! There's something awesome over here!"

"Shit! You're not, aren't you? Don't go ......."

"I heard from my dad that there are two dangerous species in that house, and they will eat people if they go crazy! Aren't you curious?"

"I'm scared ......," it sounded like a girl's voice. ….

But her cowardice provoked ridicule from the other children: "Hahahaha! Little Bob was scared, he was scared!"

Then came a rush of shoving.

The weak boy known as Little Bob screamed in protest: "Hey, wait! Don't~"

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the locker room was slammed, and a boy's cheek was forced against the small window.

It was as if someone was pressing his body and head, making it impossible for him to retreat and escape.

Therefore, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were able to clearly see the boy's face.

It was a little boy with curly brown hair, much thinner and haggard than little Allen, and his face was so frightened that he almost cried.

But when he saw Jiang Qian and Xue Yang sitting in the locker room clearly, the fear in his eyes seemed to dissipate partially.

Because Jiang Qian and Xue Yang look no different from humans!

It was difficult for him to associate the two with what he knew to be a "dangerous species".

"It's dangerous for them to frolic like this," Jiang Qian joked with Xue Yang, "At this distance, if I really want to prey on him, it's actually easy."

But he spoke English.

The frolic outside the door came to an abrupt end!

Including little Bob, whose cheek was on the small window, and the mischievous children were stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed and scattered!

Jiang Qian chuckled.

But I heard another unfamiliar voice coming from outside the door:

"Don't you think! Monster!"

At this time, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were stunned.

Is there anyone else at the door?

The owner of that voice is obviously a girl, she is actually the militia who is responsible for guarding Jiang Qian and Xue Yang tonight.

At the same time, he is also a loyal supporter of the leader Yin Lizabeth!

has just changed shifts, and it is relatively troublesome for women to solve their physiological needs, so there is a brief oversight.

"You two be honest!"

The voice of the female militia came unceremoniously again, she never "showed her face", but her unceremonious way of speaking could easily make people associate her with the "female man".

"I can't mess with it...... I can't afford to provoke," Xue Yang whispered.

Jiang Qian chatted with the other party with great interest: "It's okay to be honest, but we haven't eaten enough, and we're very hungry. If you feed us, you will be honest."

As soon as these words came out, I didn't expect the female militia outside the door to be angry directly: "You haven't eaten yet?!"

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang glanced at each other.

I heard the other party knock on the glass of the small window with a gun and scold: "The meal I sent to you today is the ration of the whole day of the family in Ideal Town!" Not enough?"

"What did you contribute? Did you participate in labor, or did you go out on a mission in exchange for resources? Oh my God, eat and drink for nothing, too little?"

"I've never seen a brazen infected like you!"

The female militiaman's voice was very loud, and the scolding echoed in the middle school gymnasium, and a trace of embarrassment floated in the air.

They confronted each other for about a minute.

Jiang calmly responded to the female militiaman's accusations: "I understand your accusations, and we can't deny them. But our situation is really different from what you know to be infected......

……

Inside an abandoned car factory.

Through the hazy moonlight, it can be seen that the huge workshop is full of "corpses" of all shapes.

Among them, the remains of the creepers are the majority, most of which have been hollowed out of their organs, and the remains of skin sacs and arthropods with low nutritional value remain.

The smallest number are the different forms of super-species players, and although there are only a handful, their corpses are intact and undamaged.

In addition to the above two, there is a third race: humans!

A dozen living people, all of different skin colors and even from different settlements, were tied to an angular pillar, all of whom were dying and dying.

Only a beautiful girl with a bronzed complexion who resembled a gypsy girl was still full of energy, and when she caught the opportunity, she yelled at the orc who had caught her trapped here:

"Hey monsters! Seeing how well you eat, I'm about to throw up."

"Can you at least explain the purpose of kidnapping us without killing us? When will we be able to make a decision?"

The human-faced anteater crouched in front of the machine tool, feeding on a huge creeper......

Indifferent to the angry scolding of the beautiful girl.

"Hey?!"

The girl was anxious:

"Idiot! At least say something, are you deaf? Are you deaf or deaf, you can't be a retarded person who only knows how to eat stupidly?"

In the midst of the curses,

The human-faced anteater suddenly put down the corpse in his hand, and his eyes flashed with cold light and aimed at the source of the scolding.

……

Typos and flaws are corrected first.

Crazy elegance
