The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

On the other side of the screen, Chen Jia's profile picture was of an ordinary-looking woman, who looked to be about the same age as Su Yuan. She was the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd.

After about ten seconds, a brief reply popped up.

Chen Jia: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Her words were full of wariness, but Su Yuan didn't care and continued typing: "I mean no harm. I just saw your situation in the chat channel. Perhaps I can help you a little."

Chen Jia: "Help? Hah, how can you help? Are you a doctor? Even if you are, what can you do right now?"

Su Yuan looked at the other party's reply, his fingers hovered over the keyboard for a moment, and then deleted the long string of explanations and comforting words he had prepared.

He opted for a more direct approach.

Su Yuan: "I'm not a doctor, but I've killed some unclean things and know a little about this. Are you feeling hot and cold right now, with swollen limbs and pustules all over your skin?"

After the message was sent, the other end fell into a long silence.

More than a minute later, Chen Jia's reply popped up again, but this time her tone clearly carried a hint of shock and unease.

Chen Jia: "How...how did you know?!"

Su Yuan knew he had made the right bet.

He doesn't have clairvoyance, but he has a perception level as high as 111.5.

Just now, the instant he added the other person as a friend, his abnormal perception had already vaguely "seen" the other person's status through that unseen connection.

Although separated by a vast distance and not clearly visible, as if seen through frosted glass, the intense, pervasive aura of plague and death was impossible to conceal.

Su Yuan: "Not only do I know these things, I also know that you feel like you're about to die and that you're on the verge of a mental breakdown, right?"

This time, Chen Jia replied almost instantly.

Chen Jia: "I feel like I'm going to die."

Su Yuan: "Yes, I know."

Chen Jia: "..."

Chen Jia, on the other side of the screen, was completely stunned by the brief and cold reply.

What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?

Shouldn't a normal person first offer some comfort and say something polite like "Don't give up" or "There's still hope"?

Why is it that when it comes to him, he just says "Yes, I know"?

How can you continue this conversation?

Just then, Su Yuan sent another message.

Su Yuan: "Just think of it as having someone to talk to before you die. Don't overthink it. I'm not that amazing."

Su Yuan: "We were really just chatting."

Chen Jia: "..."

Chen Jia: "Is it about my last platform?"

She took a deep breath, her fingers trembling, and began to type.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Or rather, when people are in extreme loneliness and despair, the desire to confide in others will overwhelm everything else.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Jia finally decided to open up and tell Su Yuan about her nightmarish experience.

"My second stop was originally just an ordinary personal platform called 'Abandoned Shopping Center,' where I would stop for five hours."

"I was quite happy at the time, thinking that I could finally find some good stuff, but just as I was about to get off the train, the entire train was suddenly enveloped in a blinding green light. When the light dissipated, I found that I was no longer in the same place."

"Outside the window, it was no longer that dilapidated shopping mall, but a... a huge city shrouded in green mist."

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.

It's fog again.

The forest park was shrouded in black fog, the Mac Farm in pale gray fog, and now there's a new kind of fog: green fog.

It seems that "fog" is a very crucial element in this world.

"The announcement on the train has changed. The voice tells me that I have been chosen by 'God' to participate in a great trial, and the stop time has changed from five hours to... indefinite."

"unlimited?"

"Yes, Infinity. There were hundreds of other players who were teleported there with me. All of our trains stopped on a wide street that seemed to have no end, like rows of cold coffins."

Then, a mysterious person wearing a green robe, whose face was obscured, appeared before all of us.

He said, "Welcome to the Plague City to participate in the selection of the Plague God. Only the final victor will receive God's blessing and leave here alive."

Chen Jia continued her narration, and Su Yuan grew increasingly alarmed.

"The first item of God's choice was 'blessing.' The mysterious man snapped his fingers, and a silver tray appeared out of thin air in front of each of us. On the tray was an eyeball that was still rotating and oozing green pus."

Su Yuan asked, "What kind of eyeball exactly? I know this question is a bit presumptuous, but you don't have to say if you don't want to."

Chen Jia: "..."

"The eyeballs were like they were alive, the blood vessels on them were still pulsating, you could even feel them 'looking' at you. Some people couldn't take it anymore, screamed and knocked over the tray, and then..."

Chen Jia paused for a moment, as if recalling some extremely terrifying scene.

"As a result, the mysterious person simply raised his hand, and the player's head exploded like a watermelon with a 'bang,' splattering red and white everywhere."

"Everyone was terrified, and no one dared to resist anymore. We could only close our eyes and swallow that disgusting eyeball whole."

"I still remember the texture. It was smooth and chewy, with a smell of rust and rotting corpse. I almost threw up, but I forced myself to swallow it."

Su Yuan felt nauseous just looking at these written descriptions.

He recalled how he had deliberately baptized himself with snake venom in order to evolve.

Although the process was painful, at least it was a choice I made voluntarily.

Chen Jia and the others, however, were forced to swallow this stuff that sounded horrible just from hearing about it, under the threat of death.

"After swallowing the eyeball, the mysterious man said that we had received the 'blessing of the plague god,' and from now on, our bodies would be constantly eroded by the plague. There was only one way to survive."

"That is, to become the final victor."

"The mysterious man said that only the plague can fight the plague. We can only survive when the virus in our bodies reaches a delicate balance. Therefore, in order to delay death, we must hunt down other 'chosen ones,' dissect their bodies, take out the 'plague source ball' that has been partially assimilated by their bodies, and then devour it."

"Each time you devour a Source Sphere, you can temporarily suppress the plague within your body and become stronger. Until finally, only one person remains! That person will be the ultimate 'Chosen Champion,' and the Plague God will personally bestow upon them the antidote, allowing them to completely rid themselves of the plague and gain immense power."

Seeing this, Su Yuan finally understood.

Why does it look like a monster cell from a certain anime?

After everyone ate, they were forced to start a dark battle royale!

So, as the sole survivor of this competition, Su Yuan was slightly surprised to see that this ordinary-looking avatar had actually become the champion of this PUBG competition!

"So you became number one? After all, you're the only survivor..." Su Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"First place? Heh..."

Chen Jia's reply was filled with bitterness and self-deprecation.

"If surviving counts as first place, then maybe it does."

"After that mysterious person announced the start of the game, he randomly teleported hundreds of us to various corners of that huge city. I was very unlucky. As soon as I landed, I was face to face with a burly man with a face full of scars."

"When that guy saw me, his eyes turned red, and without saying a word, he pounced on me, yelling, 'Give me your eyeballs!' I was terrified and could only fight back desperately."

"I don't know where I got the strength, maybe it was the instinct to survive. I grabbed a broken steel bar from the trash can next to me and stabbed it hard into his eye. He screamed and fell down, but his body also knocked me down. We both fell through the gap in the overpass into a dark and smelly sewer below."

"I broke my leg and hit my head, and I passed out immediately. When I woke up, I didn't know how much time had passed... I was lying in the cold sewage, my whole body was dirty and smelly, and the nausea made me vomit several times."

"And that strong man died right next to me. His body was already swollen and smelly. I was scared and hungry at the time, so I could only drag my broken leg and crawl around in that maze-like sewer, hoping to find a way out."

Su Yuan frowned.

They encountered a deathmatch right from the start and both fell into the sewers; their luck was certainly not good.

However, it was precisely because of this accident that she avoided the most brutal battle royale at the beginning of the game.

"I stayed in the sewers for a long time, so long that I forgot about time. I survived by drinking the dirty water and eating the garbage that floated in the water. Until one day, I suddenly felt something was wrong with my body."

"It's like... you said, alternating between hot and cold, swelling in the limbs, and pustules starting to appear on the skin. I know, it's that damn eyeball starting to act up. I thought I was going to die, so I just lay there waiting to die."

"But just when my consciousness was at its most blurred, that mysterious person in the green robe appeared in front of me once again."

He told me, "Congratulations, lucky girl, you are the last survivor."

"I was stunned. I asked him where the others were. He said they were all dead. In the endless killing and devouring, they turned into mindless plague monsters and were eventually torn apart by each other."

"He said my resistance to the plague exceeded his expectations, that I had managed to survive until now without consuming other source spheres. He was very satisfied with me and said I was a qualified 'container'."

"Then, he gave me a bottle of potion that glowed green, saying it was a gift from God, an antidote for the victors, and that drinking it would cure them."

"I felt like I was grasping at a last straw, and I drank it without thinking. And then... you know what happened."

Chen Jia's narration ends abruptly here.

After reading the above text, Su Yuan finally understood this person's experience and began to have an answer in his heart.

"It matches my feeling."

"Another evil god..."

"If I'm not mistaken, what she drank last was definitely a decoction of flesh and blood!"
