Chapter 4 tasted pretty good.
Chapter 4 tasted pretty good.
"Dude, you're all sweaty, take a break."
Wang Lei stepped forward and patted Chen Yang on the shoulder: "Leave the finding of supplies to us, and we'll split the spoils when we get them back."
Chen Yang waved his hand, refusing decisively: "No need, I can go down and find it myself, thanks."
Seeing that Chen Yang didn't appreciate it, Wang Lei scratched his head awkwardly.
He knew perfectly well that Chen Yang had forced the large iron gate open.
Without Chen Yang, the three of them probably wouldn't have been able to open that iron gate.
"That won't do!" Wu Xia chimed in, her face serious.
"Brother Chen, if you hadn't broken down this door, how much stuff could we have transported at once using just that rope?"
Not to mention we still need to get materials to build defenses.
"Defense?" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "What kind of defense?"
Zhu Yong, who hadn't said much until now, finally spoke up:
"Here's the thing, we discussed it before you came up."
As more players join, the mix of people will inevitably lead to more problems.
We plan to secure a corner on the rooftop and fence it off to protect our supplies and lives.
He paused, his tone becoming somewhat heavy: "Brother Chen, we're in a game now. As for laws and morals... from now on, we'll have to rely on self-discipline. We need to plan ahead."
Chen Yang understood instantly. These three people wanted to first claim territory and build a fence around themselves.
In order to ensure that he could survive for seven days.
In this game, Chen Yang saw things very clearly: although the flood was fierce, it was unlikely to drown too many people.
The only thing that can truly cause a large number of players to perish is the knife between players.
He recalled the room he had just ransacked and silently made some calculations in his mind.
Only a few floors of the building remain unflooded, making it virtually impossible to find enough food to sustain everyone in the limited space.
While it's true that as long as people have water to drink, it's not difficult for them to survive for seven days, but when faced with hunger, human nature simply cannot withstand the test.
When you're starving, who can guarantee that your neighbor won't look at you like you're a piece of braised pork?
Now Chen Yang finally understood why the three of them were trying to open the door.
If it's just food for three people, Wu Xia could easily get enough for seven days by going down the rope.
However, if it is necessary to move things such as wooden planks that can be used to build defenses, the only option is to open the iron gate.
"Alright then, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He knew in his heart that these kinds of favors were the hardest to settle. If he didn't let them repay the favor, these three people might keep bothering him.
Rather than being constantly remembered, it's better to go along with their wishes.
As for the food allocated to me... I can simply not eat it and use it to trade for other things.
The three of them quickly went down to find food and drinking water.
Chen Yang leaned against the wall and opened his control panel.
Player Name: Chen Yang
[Special Reward: Negative Entropy State (Duration: Permanent)]
【力量:0(+11)】【体质:9】【反应:0】【精神:0】
Available attribute points: 7
[Equipment: None]
Item: None
"My temporary strength has increased by 11 points. How can I make it permanent?"
Now that Chen Yang is no longer afraid of being submerged by floods in the short term, it's time for him to think about how to use the [negative entropy state] penalty to become stronger.
"If only I had my phone, I could use AI to look up ways to permanently atrophy muscles."
At this moment, Chen Yang began to miss his cell phone.
Another ten minutes passed, probably because my physical condition had reached 9 points.
Chen Yang felt that his body was recovering very quickly.
I moved my arm, and it didn't hurt as much anymore.
He stood up, preparing to go downstairs to collect some soap and laundry detergent.
At this time, most people were still on the 27th floor.
So, besides Wang Lei and his two companions, only Chen Yang was on the 32nd floor.
Chen Yang casually pushed open a door.
The room was a mess, clearly having been ransacked long ago. The furniture was covered in a layer of dust, unlike anything Wang Lei and his group had just left behind.
However, when most people are fleeing for their lives, they are focused on food and water, and very few people will bring things like laundry detergent or soap.
Sure enough, Chen Yang found several bars of soap and a large bag of laundry detergent in the bathroom without much effort.
He grabbed an old backpack, stuffed all the toiletries inside, then tore open a bar of soap, expressionlessly popped it into his mouth, and crunched it like a cookie.
A moment later, the whole bar of soap was swallowed.
Chen Yang waited for a while, but his mind was completely silent; the expected system notification did not sound.
"Hmm? It's not working?"
Chen Yang frowned. It seemed that this level of toxicity was no longer effective in boosting attributes.
We need to find something even more ruthless.
He muttered to himself, then turned around and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the room, hoping to find some powerful insecticide or toilet cleaner.
A short while later, he actually found a bottle of powerful insecticide.
Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to spit a mouthful into his mouth.
[Inhaled toxic gas detected: Constitution +3, Reaction +2]
In that instant, a pungent, spicy smell shot straight to the top of Chen Yang's head, so sour and pungent that tears almost streamed down his face.
"Cough cough... Holy crap!"
Chen Yang's throat was hoarse and sore, and he couldn't help but curse, "Adding attributes is one thing, but I've suffered just as much. It's killing me."
Fortunately, his physical condition is now far superior to that of ordinary people, and his resistance is extremely strong. This burning sensation only lasted for a few minutes before gradually dissipating.
He wiped his face, stuffed the insecticide into his bag, and continued rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
He quickly found a box of rat poison.
Looking at the huge skull logo printed on the packaging bag, Chen Yang was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he felt confident.
This thing looks very nutritious.
He opened the packaging and poured all the red granules into his mouth.
To my surprise, in order to trick the rats, the medicine was actually made to taste sweet and fragrant, and the taste was actually quite good.
"Ton ton ton..."
Taking advantage of this momentum, Chen Yang unscrewed another bottle of toilet cleaner and gulped it down like a beverage.
[Detection of highly toxic substance: Constitution +10, Reaction +5!]
As soon as the system notification sounded, a sharp, meat-grinding pain exploded in my stomach.
Chen Yang's face turned blue from the pain, but the effects of this medicine were indeed incredibly potent!
Chen Yang squatted on the ground for a while to recover, until the cramping pain subsided, before he could stand up again, supporting himself on his knees.
Just as he stood up, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind him!
Someone attacked!
At this moment, Chen Yang's reaction value had reached 7 points, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
When the other person's iron rod was only twenty centimeters away from the back of his head...
