Recap
“The students’ response strategy is mainly defensive. Most of them took the initiative to retreat to the back mountain, and only a few people were preparing weapons and traps. This instance is probably an escape type. In addition to facing strange and unpredictable anomalies, students must also be prepared to make and use makeshift weapons.”
“If you have the ability to survive in the mountains, the best response strategy is to wait for the opportunity and hide in the mountains to seek shelter from the natural environment albeit tire yourself out.”
They analyzed the route that is most suitable for student Ji Xinghai. When someone announced.
“Ji Xinghai has gone down the mountain.”
___
Student Ji Xinghai has collected a basket full of wild mushrooms. People who don’t know the situation would think that he had personally come to the mountains to forage for mushrooms.
[Are they poisonous?]
[They are all edible, there are several matsutake mushrooms.] An viewers member listed the names of the mushroom that Ji Xinghai had collected.
[Good guy, if he could touch the treasure chest as well as mushrooms, it would be great.]
[Collect +1, +1, +1…]
Anyway, that’s the worst case scenario. The viewers in Ninth State watched their student’s abnormal operation with a strange feeling of “breaking the jar”.*
*(unprecented)
Other students were looking for treasure chests, while theirs were looking for mushrooms.
Other students began to look for safe shelters while they found a mountain stream, washed the wild mushrooms, washed their hands, washed their face, and then went down the mountain.
After Ji Xinghai left, Zhang Ziqing, who had ran away, returned to where he had fled in embarrassment. He was like a vigilant mountain dog, bending over to look for traces that did not belong in the forest.
There was no doubt that he had found traces left by collecting mushrooms, and this shrewd face was full of surprise and doubt about life for a moment.
He was wondering why Ji Xinghai did not have a conflict with the humanoid anomaly, and why he had happily picked a lot of mushrooms. [Of course he didn’t understand; he thought that without him, the Ninth State would be dead.]
In fact, the viewers of Ninth State didn’t understand either, but this didn’t prevent them from laughing at Zhang Ziqing’s failure to execute; after the big guys’* analysis, the viewers already knew that Zhang Ziqing’s appearance before was not a coincidence but premeditated hunting.
*(netizens who put out analysis in comment sections)
After searching for a while and finding no more traces, Zhang Ziqing left the forest with all kinds of questions. At this time, Ji Xinghai was carrying a basket of mushrooms and going down the mountain by following the stream.
The mountain stream jumped between the cracks in the rocks and turned into white lines under the action of gravity. He walked down while enjoying the beautiful scenery with a makeshift stick in his left hand and an axe in his right. It was a calm scene straight out of a survival boot camp advertisement.
At the same time, the random student from the Federation, Jiesen, who was skilled and bold, had already run to the foot of the mountain to explore the new map.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a student of the Federation. He has the widest exploration of the instance, is passionate, and is more ornamental and entertaining. Many viewerss are attracted to him. They also want to know the situation at the bottom of the mountain.
Ninth State and the Federation have always been at odds. Now there is also the hatred factor for Zhang Ziqing. They are anxious to see their opponents eliminated, but Ji Xinghai is still leisurely enjoying life. He whistles as the wind catches his hair and enjoys the flowers on the road, which are out of tune with the atmosphere of the whole world.
The mountain forest where the students were spawned in was not developed, so there was no obvious mountain road, but Ji Xinghai was as agile as a monkey in the mountains, and he actually went down to the middle of the mountain smoothly.
A hunter’s hut full of trophies of prey appeared halfway down the mountain, and a reddish-brown hound barked at him in the small yard surrounded by wooden fences.
He glanced at the dog.
The hunter’s hut was hidden under the shadow of tall pine trees, with no village in front and no shop behind, it was weird. The BGM of the quiet mountain life in the viewers’s head turned down, and suddenly there were a few more traces of coldness and weirdness, swaying like a female ghost singing.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were stimulated, goose bumps appeared and they were having heated discussions about it.
The off-site personnel got more clues than the student, and there were countless experts analyzing and guiding from outside the domain, so they knew from a third person’s perspective that there might be more clues at the bottom of the mountain, but there were also more dangers.
It was not only the Federation students who chose to take risks for high scores. Some students had encountered a damaged mountain temple or a thatched hut next to the terraced fields when they went down the mountain.
Some people get unexpected gains, some get unexpected dangers, and it is said that some people are locked in the cellar by NPCs.
“Can’t we just avoid this hut? It looks like a ghost movie configuration.” The host in the CCTV live broadcast room asked questions on behalf of many viewerss.
“Crisis, danger, and opportunity coexist. I know everyone wants the student to hide in a safe corner until the end of the instance, but the student will have their own judgment. If the risk is controllable, they will give it a try.” In the Ninth State CCTV live broadcast room, which represents the official position, last year’s outstanding students are explaining.
This is a big sister who looks gentle and intellectual, with Jiangnan charm. She was also an official student last year.
She is cautious, but she also dares to fight. She got full marks five times in the twelve exams last year, won five exemptions for the motherland, and got many precious materials. She is a first-class military medal winner.
She works as the CCTV’s famous host.
Because the analysis here is more comprehensive and accurate, when the viewers in the live broadcast room doesn’t know the direction, they will come to the CCTV live broadcast room to find some confidence.
“Squeak!” The wooden door of the hunter’s hut opened, and a skinny middle-aged man in black clothes and black pants walked out. He had a thick beard, and his skin was wrinkled, and he looked very honest.
“Did you come down from the mountain?” the man asked.
Ji Xinghai looked directly into those eyes. The dark brown eyeballs in the middle-aged man’s old eye sockets rolled around like a hyena hiding in the dark.
“Yes, I walked for a long time.” Ji Xinghai smiled and scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed. He was like a student still sitting in the high tower of the campus, with the tenderness and fragility of early spring.
The viewers members who had been watching the live broadcast room were all shocked and couldn’t help wiping their eyes. Who is this person?
“That…” Ji Xinghai glanced at the trophies hanging at the entrance and asked, “Did you dry these?”
“Yes, they are all prey from the mountains, tender and plump.” The middle-aged man licked his lips and said, “You must be tired after walking for so long? Do you want to come in and sit down and rest your feet?”
Ji Xinghai looked at the middle-aged man and then at the tied dog. He lowered his head and rubbed the ground with his toes embarrassedly, and the traces of his blurred footprints were erased.
If he did not live alone, there would be more footprints on the ground, and not just one person.
The wind blew, and the prey hanging under the eaves swayed. No one can tell whether it was a sheep or a deer. The smoked ribs exuded an attractive, oily sheen.
In the CCTV live broadcast room outside the venue, the former student suddenly sat up straight, and his expression became a little serious. The host next to him had already felt something was wrong, but the viewerss who were scrolling through the screen were still struggling with Ji Xinghai’s sudden “performance.”.
Why is he like a different person? [So strange, split personality?]
[Woo woo woo, I’m a little scared.]
“Am I welcomed? Is it convenient?” Ji Xinghai, who was not acting, asked hesitantly.
“Why is it inconvenient?” The middle-aged man’s serious face softened a little. He turned around and said, “There are so many people going up and down the mountain today.”
The axe carried the momentum of the wind.
“Ah!” It came too fast. The viewerss in front of the screen couldn’t help but scream; their eyes widened, and they stepped back, falling back into the chair.
The ribs swayed slightly under the eaves, and the wind blew through the woods, making a humming sound. The arm raised the axe and fell, and a cold glint flashed, making the visitor’s light-colored eyes as sharp as a beast.
The axe swung half a circle with momentum and accurately and effectively chopped a gap between the spine and the skull. Only a crisp sound of “clack” was heard, and the neck was directly broken in half. The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face, but he fell down like a powerless weed.
Across the screen, the viewerss covered their lips tightly.
Crazy, crazy. In the bright sunshine, a shadow bent over and chopped something again and again. He was as precise and cold as a skilled lumberjack, he cut off the neck in three or five strokes.
The black head rolled twice and stopped in the nursery full of spices and vegetables, with a pair of eyes still open.
The shadow slowly straightened up.
“Ah, ah?” The previously arrogant red hound tucked its tail between its legs and shrank back, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
“…” The live broadcast room suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the host’s gasp.
He knew something would happen, but he didn’t expect it to be this scene.
“It was a bit sudden, but,” the gentle sister who was the commentator chose her words carefully in the silence, “I think our student must have their own thoughts and judgments at that moment. Sometimes it is difficult for outsiders to fully empathize with the student in that state.”
She moved her body and strategically drank a sip of water, her mind still spinning rapidly.
There were few messages in the live broadcast room, as if the viewers were still in the stage of being frightened and speechless. “Huh?” The indicator light on the tablet in front of her lit up, and two small words appeared inside: human flesh.
Though they don’t know why he took action, he now has a small house with complete facilities. From the result, perhaps there is nothing wrong with taking action.
[Only the NPC died.]
[As long as our student doesn’t die, everyone else can die.]
The position determines the attitude. Before the host found a reason, the people of Ninth State had already completed their own thought process for themselves.
Yes, the NPC seemed to have no problem and enthusiastically invited the student to go in and rest. Ji Xinghai, who suddenly took action, looked like a calm murderer.
But so what?
Is morality useful for the Hunger Games?
No.
So he can also do without morality. He is in charge of killing, and they are in charge of burying. It’s that simple.
‘It seems that I don’t need to explain it anymore. ‘The commentator slightly raised the corners of his lips. Three years of live broadcasting have also changed ordinary people in Ninth State.
Against the light, Ji Xinghai tilted his head with his axe to look at the corpse. His delicate and emotionless face, like a puppet, no longer showed any of his previous immaturity.
A layer of floating light appeared on the corpse lying in the pool of blood, and a bowl-sized thing grew inside, attempting to sneak away, but the cold light of the axe came faster than it. The axe cut off the path of the strange thing and split it into a crack.
He picked it up, and it was a dry, dark gray mushroom with layers of black skirt and white edges.
The fresh corpse on the ground had turned into a skinny thing, like a dead tree. A human figure could be vaguely seen, and the broken limbs were shining with oil, but no blood was seen.
The mushroom in his hand was lifted up, and the wrinkled mushroom meat with white outside and black inside was piled into a flower shape. If you get close, you can smell the complex and tempting aroma.
Except for the small eyes that kept flashing at the root and the tiny mushroom whiskers that had nowhere to go, this was the delicious dry mushroom, a specialty of the southwest.
“Woo, let me go.” The dry mushroom rubbed its whiskers and made a pitiful sound. Its layers of mushroom meat shook and sprayed out invisible spores that can confuse people.
“Let me go…”
Ji Xinghai calmly crushed it: The dried mushroom that has become a spirit must be very fragrant when fried with rice.
So he had already discovered that the NPC was not a human? [How did he discover it?]
The hearts of the viewers outside the venue were almost crushed along with the dried mushroom. How could this be a dried mushroom? This was when one of the three views of countless ordinary people began to shatter.
“Level 1 anomaly, wooden skeleton, level 3 anomaly, black crown mushroom?”
The corpse suddenly turned into two abnormal creatures, one of which was a relatively high-level level 3 anomaly that had appeared so far. This unexpected development left the commentator stunned for a second.
Strangely, do abnormal creatures know how to cooperate with each other these days?
Humanoid anomalies are rare, after all. The anomalies in the instance are still mainly physical, but these anomalies have their own abilities. Some can be controlled, and some can be transformed. For example, this level 3 abnormal black crown mushroom was originally a mutation of dried mushroom, but it mutated to have the ability to change its form, can turn into a human, can speak human language, and can confuse the mind of humans.
However, it was the first time that they have seen an anomaly collude with a wooden skeleton to disguise himself as a human anomaly!
Oh my god, this black crown mushroom has evolved, right? It even knew how to cooperate with the wooden skeleton to disguise itself as a human. But why did it stay motionless after being caught? [Isn’t it a level 3 anomaly?]
[Upstairs, it was split and pinched into a ball.] Moreover, the main abilities of the black crown mushroom are deception, confusion, and illusion creation, but the wooden skeleton is quite good at close combat, but it has been sent to heaven.
How did Ji Xinghai find out? [I went back and watched it three times but couldn’t find any flaws.]
The dead became abnormal creatures, and killing people became a “justice attack.” Those viewerss with a higher sense of morality immediately accepted Ji Xinghai’s previous actions.
The live broadcast room became lively again.
How did he find out that they were abnormal creatures?
Ji Xinghai found a ghost. He killed the person just because he smelled the “delicious” scent of malicious intent, and that there were many human bodies hanging under the corridor, so he took the initiative.
What if he killed the wrong person?
Then he killed the wrong person. The skinny and dry monster on the ground didn’t have much appeal to him, but the dried mushroom essence had a special fragrance, his body instinctively urged him to, “Eat it.”.
The words “natural treasure” and “tonic” floated back and forth in his mind, and he was extremely excited. The appetite aroused by the masked man could no longer be suppressed.
Hungry.
