Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 205

On the third day of the dungeon, Song Yu and Xin Jia got up very early in the morning.

It's Christmas Eve again, and I wonder which village's original inhabitants or buildings have suffered some bad luck.

Before leaving, Song Yu and Xin Jia spent the whole morning quickly searching all the buildings on campus.

There really weren't many props left in the school, so Song Yu and Xin Jia found a whole bunch of paper, pens, school uniforms, textbooks, and the like.

There wasn't much food.

The resources in this instance are somewhat scarce.

Song Yu had previously estimated that her food supply would last through this instance.

However, after these two days, Song Yu estimates that he'll be lucky to hold out for half the time.

After leaving the school, Song Yu and Xin Jia headed to a farm located in the desert area, following the map's directions.

Because of the aircraft, it only takes them about half an hour to get to the desert farm.

This was after Song Yu had factored in the time it would take to encounter predators on the road.

However, when the two of them were halfway there, they saw a group of humans walking along the edge of the swamp.

Judging from their attire and skill level, these people are either native inhabitants or new players.

In such a terrible instance, the system actually sent in new players, which Song Yu hadn't expected.

The system is too cruel.

No matter how dangerous the dungeon is, it must include new players.

As the difficulty of dungeons increases, the talents of new players are indeed getting stronger and stronger.

But no matter how talented you are, you still need to be alive to unleash your full potential.

Song Yu and Xiao Hei generally don't target newcomers unless there's a conflict of interest that crosses their bottom line.

They wouldn't bother newcomers unless it was unavoidable, nor would they intentionally kill new players to exploit their talents.

Perhaps she used to, but not now...

We simply can't afford to nurture talent.

"Want to go down and take a look?"

Xin Jia looked at Song Yu and asked in a low voice.

She is now disabled and has no say in the matter.

We have no choice but to listen to Song Yu.

"Ah."

Song Yu nodded. Whether you're a new player or a local, you can try to get some information by interacting with them.

Connecting the swamp and the desert was a canyon, and the dry wind carried a faint smell of blood from below into Song Yu's nostrils.

These people are injured.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, they didn't have any medicine, so they could only carry the wounded to find medicine.

People like that are the best to get close to.

After all, she could help them with good intentions.

"Do you need help?"

The two descended and approached the group of strangers. Song Yu asked a question.

Even though she tried her best to appear friendly, the group of strangers still looked at Song Yu and her companion with wariness and fear, like startled deer!

If there's one advantage the ordinary natives of this world have, it's probably their extraordinary sensitivity to blood.

The blood here does not refer to fresh blood, but rather to the murderous intent and malevolent aura that comes from killing too many lives.

Song Yu and Xin Jia are exactly those kinds of people.

They killed countless people, both human and monster.

"Is your companion injured?"

"I am a doctor."

Song Yu's gaze swept over the people being carried, and he spoke casually.

"If they don't receive treatment soon, they will die from excessive blood loss and organ damage."

She wasn't afraid these people wouldn't agree, unless they truly didn't care about the lives of the people on her back.

If you didn't care, why would you deliberately carry these burdens?
"..."

Upon hearing Song Yu's words, the group of people indeed hesitated.

Do you have any medicine?

"We have no money, and we have no hidden stones."

They cautiously observed Song Yu and Xin Jia's expressions before speaking.

"Even if I don't have any, I can use what I have on hand."

Song Yu smiled and took out a surgical kit, which was filled with various simple medical instruments and commonly used medicines.

"...Thank you, sirs."

Although they didn't know what Song Yu and Xin Jia's purpose was, the people still expressed their gratitude.

Regardless of their identities, as ordinary people, they had no power to resist, did they?

Since that's the case, we might as well go along with them.

Whether predator or thief, the weak... can only passively accept their fate.

Fortunately, Song Yu and Xin Jia are not bad guys and generally wouldn't lay a hand on ordinary people.

After all, they're not murderers, and taking action would be exhausting, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Song Yu simply wanted to obtain more specific copy information from these humans who appeared to be indigenous.

Many of the people in the village are like lunatics.

They all have mental health issues and are extremely resistant to outsiders, completely refusing to communicate with them.

It's difficult for players to get information from these people.

The indigenous people put the wounded down, and Song Yu checked on the condition of the wounded.

The problem is not big.

Stop the bleeding and apply the medication.

The tools in her medical space were perfect for these people.

"Would you like to eat something together?"

Xin Jia took out some pre-made rice balls from her backpack compartment, handed them to them, and asked.

Although it's called a rice ball, it's actually just rice with vegetables, including braised pork, minced meat, eggplant, and other dishes.

It was still warm when I took it out.

"Don't worry, we just want to ask you some questions about the world."

Xin Jia raised a harmless smile, which was her usual disguise.

"Are you outsiders?"

"Ah."

Song Yu deftly treated the wounds of several injured people and responded softly.

The wounded were all conscious, but no one made a sound while their wounds were being treated.

She wasn't given any anesthesia.

If it weren't for their pale faces and sweat-drenched bodies, Song Yu would probably have thought they had lost the ability to feel pain.

She's so patient!

The group exchanged glances, then reached out and took the rice balls from Xin Jia, which was considered an agreement to the deal.

"The creatures in this world are divided into predators and prey, you should know that, right?"

A slightly older woman spoke softly; they were currently hiding behind a large rock, in a fairly secluded location.

"know."

Xin Jia nibbled on her rice ball and nodded.

"Although there are many dangerous creatures in the wild, the only ones that can truly be called predators are the giants."

"They are the true, unshakeable predators; the rest of the creatures are simply preying on each other within the food chain."

The older woman's voice was very low, and she sighed almost imperceptibly.

"We don't know how those creatures came to be; it's just that one day, the end of humanity suddenly came."

"They hunt humans everywhere and feed on them."

"The human population began to decline dramatically, and some people began to lead us in resisting these predators."

"They've become increasingly difficult for humans to catch, so they've established these human breeding farms."

“…” Xin Jia focused intently on eating her rice ball without saying a word.

Both she and Song Yu understood the significance of this breeding farm.

Human-run farms, you can imagine what they're used for.

Since there weren't enough people to eat and they couldn't catch any more, they bred and reproduced the animals they had caught before, which ensured a continuous supply of food.

"This area, which is called the 'wilderness,' is their breeding ground."

“There are countless human farms like this, villages are the farms, and we are the free-range prey.”

At this point, the older woman couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Where did the humans that were eaten come from?"

This wasn't the kind of information Song Yu wanted to hear; she could deduce it herself, so it was irrelevant.

"It's also supplied from the farm."

The older woman paused.

"But it's a farm that's different from the [wild]."

"The difference between free-range chickens in the mountains and chickens raised in cages."

Xin Jia glanced at Song Yu; these predators really know how to eat.

However, the presence of players from this world and NPC merchants in the [wilderness] indicates that the system still intervenes here.

The situation is better than that of chickens raised in cages in a [chicken coop].

With the system involved, predators in the wild must also have rules to follow.

"where?"

Song Yu looked at the older woman, but his hands did not stop moving.

Perhaps the location of the "chicken coop" is the special location indicated by the diary in the general store.

If we can get the information out of these people, we'll save money.

"Sorry, we don't know either."

The older woman shook her head; she too had been selected from the "chicken coop" because she was too old and had lost her value.

All the ingredients selected from the chicken coop are kept in cages, so they can't see what's happening outside.

"What's the situation inside those farms?"

"Are those humans who led your rebellion still alive? And where are they?"

Song Yu then asked a few more key questions, as the rewards for such tasks are usually quite substantial.

In the last instance, Song Yu switched to a smart computer.

That's a supercomputer.

An AI capable of unleashing an apocalyptic storm.

Song Yu's requirements were not high; he just wanted someone of a similar caliber.

“Those farms have many predators and terrible environments. Humans born there are no different from livestock.”

However, many predators unexpectedly prefer those livestock-like humans, finding their meat tender and delicious.

"So predators have also formed societies?"

Xin Jia made another rice ball. After treating the wounded, Song Yu washed her hands and took one to eat.

The two were moving in perfect unison, chewing incessantly.

"Um……"

Although I hate to admit it, that's the reality.

"So your world..."

Song Yu and Xin Jia exchanged a glance. Just like in the previous instance, the main creatures of the world had changed.

In the world of Omnic Crisis, the main life forms have become machines, but the machines don't eat people; they only kill them.

The new main creatures in this instance kill and eat people, turning humans from the dominant species into food.

This is quite difficult.

It's much harder than the previous dungeon.

In the previous instance, humans and omnics were at least on the same level, but in this instance, humans have been demoted to food!
It's really difficult to regain humanity's dominant position.

We need to see if the players in this world are still around, how many are left, and what their attitude is.

Judging from the situation of the old woman at the grocery store, things don't look too good.

Before the brief conversation was even over, Song Yu was already considering whether to change his strategy for this instance.

After all, she has no relation to these humans, right?

Some tasks are not mandatory.

"As for those saviors you asked about... I know a few of them were captured by predators, and their fate is unknown."

"As for the others... I don't know either."

"There are rumors that they have been hiding in the wild, looking for the best time to rebel."

This middle-aged woman was just an ordinary person; she didn't know much.

At most, they just know a little more than Song Yu and the others.

"That's it."

Song Yu crossed his arms, tapping his muscles absently with his fingers as he fell into deep thought.

If there are many "wilderness" areas and many breeding farms, then the AI ​​still hasn't found Xiao Hei's whereabouts...

Could it be that Xiao Hei isn't in this [wilderness] area?

This is truly unfortunate news.

Song Yu immediately started to have a headache; she still had to buy that diary.

Diary entry: 100 gold coins. Looks like I'll be living in the wild for the next few days.

To be honest, Song Yu really wanted to get all four of them together in this instance.

Danger often means huge rewards!
This wasn't the first time the four of them had worked together, so they seemed relatively reliable.

Most importantly, she and Xiao Hei have two.

Even if they turn against each other, their chances of winning are relatively high.

Hey.

A diary is different from a list; it's just a place, and she and Xin Jia can pool their money together.

If Xin Jia also intends to take a gamble.

However, this cannot be said in front of these indigenous people.

After asking some more questions about this world and receiving a lot of information, Song Yu left some medical supplies for these people and then left.

They're all bandages and medicines.

These items are too low-level; they're not just out of her depth, they're completely useless to her.

That's why she's so generous.

Moreover, the indigenous people told her where there were plenty of raw materials of all kinds, and she wanted to make a batch of Pearl Whisper potions.

Although dangerous, it was worth a try for Song Yu.

Song Yu still planned to stockpile a batch of cloth to make bandages.

The bandages were of low quality and she couldn't use them, but they weren't without value.

Her portable medical space can also be mass-produced automatically, and she also has the talent of an assembly line worker.

Just right.

After saying goodbye to the indigenous people, Song Yu and Xin Jia set off again.

Before leaving, Song Yu glanced back at one of the indigenous people without making a sound.

This new player is clever; he blends in with the natives and pretends to be one of them.

These locals were quite considerate; they didn't reveal the new player's identity at all.

As for how Song Yu knew that the native was a new player in disguise...

All I can say is that being an all-around doctor is a great talent.

We are all human, that's true, but the living environment of humans is different in each world, especially in a dungeon like a post-apocalyptic world.

There are some subtle differences in physical appearance.

With the help of the all-around physician and the data analysis of the mechanical worm source virus, Song Yu easily figured out the identity of the new player.

"Let's go."

Song Yu looked away. If they meant no harm, then neither she nor Xin Jia would.
