Chapter 215
After all the butchers had left, Song Yu and his two companions emerged from under the skeletons.
The empty white desert is only marked by a few human remains on the ground, testifying to their existence.
Jiang Chenxuan silently collected the remains of the dead players into her backpack. Seeing this, Xin Jia raised an eyebrow at Song Yu. This person was actually quite kind.
"The national base has a rule that if a player who has died is found dead and their remains are collected and brought back to the real world, the base will give the player who brings back the remains some rewards."
Jiang Chenxuan gave the two of them a bitter smile and explained.
The companions who were just laughing and joking a moment ago have turned into skeletons in the blink of an eye, and some have been captured and their fates are unknown.
Jiang Chenxuan is just introverted and doesn't like to talk, but she is not a machine without any emotions.
"They have all made contributions to the country."
The national base will also give these deceased players a proper burial and take good care of their relatives and families.
It must be said that the national team has done an impeccable job in these aspects.
Song Yu and Xin Jia nodded in agreement. The players in the national team were indeed peaceful, and there were very few instances of them killing each other, even in dungeons.
They have never denied the strength and existence of the national team. To be honest, to some extent, with the national team around, people like them dare to act recklessly.
Aside from Xiao Hei, Song Yu mostly only trusted players from the national team.
However, their personalities are indeed not suitable for the national team.
"Let's go."
Song Yu waved his finger, and immediately a small portion of the mechanical worm-borne virus covered Jiang Chenxuan's body.
"Thank you."
Jiang Chenxuan was not ungrateful and nodded slightly to Song Yu in thanks.
Song Yu glanced at Jiang Chenxuan several times. Are all players on the national team like this?
Jiang Chenxuan, Tang Hong, and Chu Lang—these are the kinds of national team players she knows. They all have this kind of personality.
And then there's Sang Ning. Is it easy for someone with a quiet personality to become a top-tier player?
Song Yu and Xin Jia chirped softly, and Xin Jia nodded in agreement.
"That's how it is in novels; this kind of protagonist is popular now."
Song Yu thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
Previously, it was popular to have a cool, domineering, arrogant, and bossy protagonist. Now, especially for male leads, the most popular type is the quiet, taciturn, and capable one.
It's like it doesn't have a mouth.
Fortunately, the few she knew all had mouths.
Although he doesn't talk much, he can still communicate normally.
After complaining about the four of them, Song Yu and her two companions finally began to see a different view from the White Desert.
It is a group of buildings.
The three of them immediately became serious; they were finally about to enter the society of the predators.
Countless oval-shaped buildings, resembling eggs, stand in the desert, where sparse yellowish-green plants grow, each equipped with monitoring equipment.
Song Yu was certain of this.
Mechanoworm-derived viruses are highly sensitive to machinery.
There is a boundary membrane separating the White Desert from the Wilderness. The three of them were not in a hurry to leave the White Desert. They needed to be prepared, at least not to be discovered by the surveillance cameras and predators outside.
The mechanical worm-borne virus intrusion monitor can only operate after it has crossed the boundary membrane, and this brief moment is enough for predators to detect their presence.
During their long stay in the White Desert, Song Yu and the others were far from idle.
The White Desert suppresses all technological products, leaving the mechanical worms in a state of semi-death, but this precisely helps Song Yu develop the functions of the mechanical worm source virus.
If Song Yu wanted, once she left the White Desert, she could manipulate the mechanical worm source virus to instantly destroy all the technological products in front of her!
But doing so would be tantamount to alerting the enemy.
"give it to me."
Xin Jia smiled shyly at Song Yu and Jiang Chenxuan, but she could easily avoid appearing in front of the surveillance cameras.
In front of Song Yu and the other person, Xin Jia summoned a huge earth-attribute demon.
It's an insect that looks like an earthworm.
It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the three of them whole, then disappeared underground and left the White Desert, ensuring that the surveillance cameras outside wouldn't detect a single trace!
The moment they left the White Desert, countless tiny insects crawled onto the plants mixed in with the soil, silently beginning to infiltrate and tamper with the database.
"Little Black has become a star in the arena. In three days, they will have Little Black duel with a butcher from... the slaughterhouse!"
Jiang Chenxuan contacted the other players in the player base and spoke to Song Yu with a serious expression.
She didn't tell Song Yu the details, fearing he might act impulsively.
The butchers at the slaughterhouse were the same predators they had just seen.
A match that can be called a duel requires an opponent of absolutely terrifying strength!
Little Black wouldn't be a match for them.
Song Yu's expression was very unpleasant; even if Jiang Chenxuan didn't say it, Song Yu could guess it.
The stars of the Colosseum...
She couldn't imagine how much torment Xiao Hei had suffered in the past few days, how many powerful enemies it had faced, how many injuries it had sustained, and how many times it had been on the verge of death to survive until now.
Just thinking about it makes Song Yu wish he could destroy the predator society right now!
Xin Jia didn't say anything, but patted Song Yu on the shoulder to calm her down.
"Let's see how many usable people these slaughterhouses have first."
Song Yu took a few deep breaths and quickly calmed himself down.
If nothing unexpected happens, these oval-shaped buildings are likely farms and slaughterhouses.
The area outside the White Desert, which is fenced off, is where free-range humans live; this area is where humans are raised in concentrated numbers.
With the mechanical worm-borne virus present, Song Yu and her team can crush the technology of the predator society.
If you bring a smart brain, you can completely crush them.
However, since AI is not very controllable, let's leave it in the real world.
If things turn out like the omnics in Crisis, it'll be difficult to deal with.
Avoiding the patrolling predators outside, Song Yu and the others quietly entered the breeding farm, the one where Bei Yuan and the others were being held.
Jiang Chenxuan was able to contact Bei Yuan and the others. Relying on data analysis, the mechanical worm virus compared the information from both sides and successfully located the place where the predator was holding Bei Yuan and the others.
Upon entering the farm, the three men's hearts sank.
It has nothing to do with personal relationships, but rather stems from a human perspective of the sorrow felt towards those working in farms.
This scene would make any normal human being feel uncomfortable.
Unlike the clean and tidy silver-white exterior of the farm, the interior was filthy and reeked of foul odors.
It's like raising pigs. All the humans are naked and chained to small, cramped troughs, where they eat, drink, and relieve themselves all in one place.
Even the ceiling height here is very low, probably no more than one meter, so humans cannot stand up and can only lie down.
Every human's eyes were numb and dull, only flashing with an extremely fierce light when they were fed. Looking at these humans' plump, white appearance, they did indeed resemble pigs.
Here, humans possess only basic survival instincts, devoid of any sense of propriety or shame, unable to speak human language, and devoid of any desire to escape.
In many troughs where different genders were kept together, there were also children and infants, who were not yet fully grown and were laughing and babbling.
They are unaware of their current situation.
Seeing this, Jiang Chenxuan turned her head away in distress, and Song Yu couldn't help but frown.
"The strong prey on the weak. Pigs are weak, so we eat them. The people here are weak, so they are eaten by predators."
Xin Jia didn't feel any distress; that's just how the world is.
Do cannibalism not exist in their world?
Whether it's eating in the literal sense or eating in the spiritual sense, the essence of society is the survival of the fittest, and they can't change that.
Xin Jia had no intention of getting involved; she would simply rescue Bei Yuan and the others and leave.
This is the greatest act of kindness she has ever shown.
Jiang Chenxuan had the will but no power; she could barely protect herself, let alone save these people.
"Let's go."
Song Yu's attitude was ambiguous, remaining neutral between the two.
But she knew clearly that her most important goal now was to rescue Bei Yuan and the others, and to work with these players to rescue Xiao Hei.
In a predator society, not every predator is as strong as a butcher.
The three of them passed through the humans and continued upwards.
Although it has been confirmed that Bei Yuan and the others are being held here, they still need to find their exact location.
Thanks to the filth and disorder of the farm, the mechanical worm-borne virus released by Song Yu went undetected by the predators.
She quickly located the location where Bei Yuan and the others were being held.
On the 43rd floor.
As they ascended, the three discovered that the lower the level, the worse the environment became, though the conditions weren't much better at the top.
Without exception, all the humans here are fat and healthy, some with skin so swollen it looks like giant worms.
The more Jiang Chenxuan looked, the more alarmed she became. This one breeding farm alone housed at least hundreds of thousands of humans.
How many people are being held captive in the countless farms in this area?
The white sand of the White Desert is probably really made of human bones.
There are not many predators in the farm, and there are none at the lower levels.
It wasn't until they reached the fortieth floor that Song Yu and his two companions spotted the predator.
The floors above forty are exceptionally high to facilitate the movement of predators.
They carefully avoided the predators; Song Yu and her companions would not kill them until they found Bei Yuan and the others.
With the mechanical worms and the disguise of the Xin Jia demon, these predators couldn't detect them at all.
We arrived at the forty-third floor without any problems. The environment here was slightly better, but it was still like a house from the 1960s or 70s, not much better.
Each individual, roofless room was like a dollhouse for Song Yu and her friends when they were children, to the predators.
The predator can see everything inside the room clearly.
Bei Yuan was locked in a room with a man, and it seemed the predator wanted them to have a child.
That's true; good ingredients produce good ingredients.
Song Yu and Xin Jia exchanged a glance, but neither of them made a move immediately.
They need to determine how many capable humans like Bei Yuan have been captured in the area, and how many predators like those butchers are.
Song Yu and Xin Jia could easily take on one, two, three, or even four butchers at once, but what if there were dozens or hundreds of butchers here?
We'd need at least ten times more Song Yu, Xiao Hei, Sang Ning, Shen Jie, Xin Jiatang, and Hong Chulang to make it enough.
Song Yu released the mechanical worm-borne virus, which gnawed a tiny hole in the outer wall. One by one, the viruses quietly left from there and flew to various farms to collect information.
The three of them stayed quietly, waiting for the virus to return. Xin Jia was so bored that she wanted to yawn.
It took a full three hours for the mechanical worm-borne viruses to send back the data.
There are a total of 7,652 farms of varying sizes in this area, and the farm they are in is of medium size.
There are tens of thousands of people like Bei Yuan who are imprisoned in the upper floors of buildings.
These are all individuals with some combat capabilities, and could be used by Song Yu.
All Song Yu needed was for them to create chaos in the predator society so she could take the opportunity to rescue Xiao Hei.
However... after learning about the predators' strength and cruelty, will these humans be willing to continue fighting them?
"They don't have the means to escape the White Desert."
Jiang Chenxuan knew what Song Yu was hesitating about, and immediately spoke up.
Given the vast distance of the White Desert, these humans, who have been confined to farms for so long, could not possibly have enough resources.
That was indeed the case; Song Yu hadn't subconsciously thought of that.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to hesitate about.
Song Yu glanced at Xin Jia, who nodded, and the two attacked at the same time!
Starting from Song Yu, countless mechanical worm-borne viruses instantly flooded the entire farm!
Everything in sight, all the walls and technological creations, has been completely devoured by the mechanical worm-borne virus!
Furthermore, under Song Yu's control, the mechanical worm virus rapidly expanded and multiplied, devouring the outer shells of other farms!
No matter how robust the farm is, it cannot withstand more than three seconds under the relentless onslaught of the mechanical worm-borne virus!
The digitization of viruses is no joke!
At the same time, the magma demon that Xin Jia summoned, which was a thousand meters tall, instantly pierced through the ceiling. It looked down at these egg-sized buildings from above, and with a gentle squeeze, the "eggs" shattered!
"Amazing."
Song Yu gave Xin Jia a thumbs up.
"No la."
Xin Jia smiled, this magma demon was her greatest weapon.
Difficult to summon, difficult to control.
Xin Jia really went all out.
Both of them needed to focus on controlling the virus and the demon. Jiang Chenxuan stayed by their side every step of the way, preventing the predators that rushed towards them from getting close!
Bei Yuan was completely stunned by this scene. She had just finished bragging to the natives of this world that her companions would definitely come back to save her, and then Song Yu, Xiao Chen, and Xin Jia appeared out of nowhere!
"What are you standing there for, Dad?!"
Bei Yuan's neighbor, who was always bragging, slapped her across the face. Instead of helping her friend, she was just standing there dumbfounded. Did she want to continue living this inhuman life because she was having such a good time?
The natives, who had long lived in the high-pressure society of the predators, reacted much faster than the players. Countless natives imprisoned in the upper levels rushed towards Song Yu and Xin Jia!
They had only one thought in their minds: Song Yu and Xin Jia absolutely could not be caught!
