Before going to the supermarket, Yu Hanjiang told his teammates a few things.
He looked extremely serious and whispered word by word: "Judging from the information Xiao Lou received during the meeting, there is currently no cure for this infection. Once infected, those parasites will quickly eat the human brain.
Let human bodies become their puppets. We need to survive in this secret room for 14 days. When everyone acts, you must pay attention to protecting yourself and never be infected! Otherwise, not only will you die, but the entire team may also be affected.
You will be buried with him!"
Everyone nodded seriously to show their understanding.
The most terrifying thing is that bugs can disguise themselves. If teammates are infected, they will pretend to be normal people and follow everyone around them. In the dead of night, while everyone is sleeping, they will secretly give everyone a bite... everyone will collectively change.
Adult insect.
It's disgusting just thinking about it.
Yu Hanjiang paused, glanced at the pale teammates, and continued: "In addition, the parasitized people look the same as normal people on the surface. They may disguise themselves as normal humans and approach us. This situation is difficult to prevent. So, this
In the secret room, the eight of us, as a group, will not cooperate with any other challengers, nor will we save anyone - remember, we only take care of ourselves."
Although it is ruthless to refuse to save someone in the face of death, it is already difficult to take care of oneself in this situation. There is no way to judge whether the person saved is an infected person, so it is not wrong for Yu Hanjiang to set rules in advance - an eight-person team
, only believe in yourself, and only take responsibility for yourself.
Xiao Lou Wen said: "Everyone, please listen to Captain Yu and leave others alone. In the past 14 days, no one is allowed to leave the team without permission from Captain Yu. Even if we need to go to the bathroom in a hurry, we must summon the card
Cards will solve it."
A girl gave them a [Temporary Toilet] card when they were doing their daily routine at sea. These supply cards are kept by Xiao Lou. It would be very dangerous to leave the team alone. It is best for everyone to have food and accommodation for 14 days.
Together, don't separate.
The teammates all realized the seriousness of the situation and looked at each other.
Ye Qi said: "Understood, the eight of us will form a group and try not to come into contact with strangers!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded and said: "Let's go to the supermarket and buy supplies together. If a stranger approaches you, no matter who it is, stay away immediately. Be careful not to be suddenly attacked."
Yu Hanjiang gave an order and the eight people acted collectively.
It was already half past one, and no one had eaten, but they didn't feel hungry at all. Maybe it was because the first day in this world was too exciting, and everyone was so nervous that they all forgot about "eating lunch".

Mo Xuemin's decoration company is diagonally opposite the central square, and there is a large supermarket five hundred meters away.
At this time, the street was blocked by vehicles, and the traffic on the entire street was paralyzed.
The nearby sidewalks were full of frightened screams, and blood was flowing all over the ground. It was obvious that the infected people were attacking humans crazily, and countless people were scratched and bitten.
The parasites are carried to other areas.
The city center is in complete chaos, and it is only a matter of time before the entire city is infected.
Xiao Lou whispered: "Everyone avoid blood stains on the ground. This parasite is transmitted through blood. People who are bitten may still have viable pathogens in their blood. Try not to come into contact with the blood."
Ye Qi almost stepped on a ball of blood. His face turned pale and he immediately jumped away.
Suddenly there was a scream on the sidewalk across the square, and an infected person was seen chasing and biting two girls. The two young girls ran forward quickly. One of them was wearing high heels and ran a few meters. His feet twisted and he accidentally fell down.
On the ground, the infected person pounced on her and bit her ear off completely. The girl collapsed on the ground, covering her bloody wound, and let out a broken cry.
"Help ah——"
However, no one paid attention to her.
Even her best friend who ran with her turned pale when she saw this scene and immediately turned around and ran away quickly!
That bloody scene sent chills down Xiao Lou's spine.
The strange thing is that after the infected person bit off her ear, he did not continue to attack her. Instead, he looked for the next target with scarlet eyes, leaving her injured where she was.
As Xiao Lou walked forward, he told Yu Hanjiang through telepathy: "It seems that these infected people are just spreading the parasites. As long as they are passed to each other, they will not continue to attack, just like some kind of biological invasion of the earth and quickly occupy the territory."
Likewise, those who are bitten will turn into their own kind?"
Yu Hanjiang also saw the scene on the opposite street, frowned and said: "What I'm curious about is, how do they judge which people are their own kind and which people have not been infected? On the surface, it seems that the infected and the uninfected
It’s hard for people to tell the difference.”
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said: "They should have their own language, or signals, or tastes."
The only way to explain it is that these things are actually quite smart and can instantly determine which ones are of the same kind and which ones need to be attacked. It seems that after they occupy the human brain, they will send signals to their companions to avoid accidental injury.
Low-level zombies may attack each other. After all, they have no IQ. However, such high-level parasites can hurt each other. They can also sense each other and may even cooperate... This is scary!
Once the entire city was infected, wouldn't it be that Xiao Lou and the others entered the Zerg's lair?!
Xiao Lou's face turned pale and he said: "The secret room requires us to survive for 14 days. There is no restriction that we must stay in the city to survive. Can we escape?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's play it by ear. If it doesn't work, we can follow the 3 of Spades' clearance method, find a remote place, occupy a building as a base, and set up traps to eliminate these bugs."
Xiao Lou nodded.
There was a supermarket just in front of them. The two stopped their thoughtful communication and walked in with their teammates.
The urban area is in chaos, there are traffic jams on the road, and it is noon time, so the supermarket seems very deserted. There are only a few young people buying groceries. They don’t seem to know what is happening outside. They are patiently picking up fruits.
The couple was chatting and laughing while buying tomatoes there.
Yu Hanjiang glanced around and found that there was no obvious abnormality around him, so he led everyone into the supermarket.
The temperature in the supermarket was very low, and the area where he entered happened to sell fresh vegetables. The air-conditioning was on in the open freezer. Even if he was wearing thermal underwear, Xiao Lou couldn't help but have his teeth chattering from the cold.
Shao Qingge rubbed his nose and sneezed: "Why is it so cold?"
Xiao Lou said: "Maybe the heater is broken. Let's hurry up and go shopping first."
As soon as you enter the supermarket, you will find the frozen section, the fresh food section, and the vegetable and fruit section. Some aunties in charge of weighing are here to help customers calculate the prices. In the cooked food section, there are several men in white hats making roast duck, which are displayed in the cabinets.
The smell of freshly baked pig's trotters and chicken legs was in the air, and everyone's appetite was aroused by the smell. Only then did everyone remember that they hadn't eaten lunch.
But the supermarket is not a place to eat. Yu Hanjiang said: "After shopping and going out to eat, try not to touch these cooked foods."
It is currently uncertain whether the mode of transmission is only through blood. What if it is also transmitted through food? Back in the Endless Sea, Shao Qingge spent money to learn a lesson. You cannot eat anything in the Spades Chamber, only vacuum-packed sealed food.
, such as instant noodles and biscuits, are the safest.
Ye Qi swallowed, looked away from the roast duck, and quickly followed Yu Hanjiang.
The eight people quickly left the deli area and entered the depths of the supermarket.
They didn't realize that behind them, the aunts who were responsible for weighing vegetables and fruits, the cooks who grilled cooked food, and the women who sold fresh meat products collectively turned to look at their backs, with strange smiles on their lips.
***
This supermarket is very large, and walking inside is like walking through a maze. After walking around several corners, you finally see the daily necessities and snacks section.
There was a large amount of milk stacked on the aisle, with a sign saying "Today's Sale" on it. Xiao Lou picked up a box of milk and looked at the production date and shelf life - the shelf life of this box of milk is 3 months, so you can stock up on more.
He directly lifted two boxes and put them into the shopping cart.
Ye Qi took four boxes of compressed biscuits next to him, while Liu Qiao took dozens of boxes of chocolates and put them in the shopping cart.
Lao Mo and Long Sen went to move the mineral water, Qu Wanyue was responsible for counting the supplies, and Yu Hanjiang went to find his schoolbag.
Since we had to travel light this time, there was no need to bring canned food, snacks, etc., just enough to satisfy everyone. Everyone pushed the shopping cart and quickly scanned the goods, and Yu Hanjiang quickly brought eight schoolbags over.
There are not that many schoolbags in the supermarket, and they are all different colors, and there are also student schoolbags with cartoon patterns printed on them. But now is no longer the time to pursue details, so he puts the schoolbags into the shopping cart.
Qu Wanyue finished counting the supplies and said, "It's almost enough."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Let's go."
Toiletries such as toothbrushes and towels were prepared with "toiletry bag" supply cards. These cards can be brought into the secret room, so to survive in the secret room, you only need to stock up on food and common medicines.
The eight people walked around a corner and suddenly saw a group of girls also scanning goods quickly. There were several black schoolbags of the same style in the shopping carts they were pushing. No wonder the area selling schoolbags had been cleared of more than half of the goods. It turned out that they were
They bought it first.
In addition, there are also a lot of mineral water, milk and cookies in their shopping carts.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and said in unison: "Challenger team?"
Ye Qi obviously also noticed these girls and said softly: "Why do they feel familiar? Have you seen them somewhere?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and quickly remembered: "The 10-person girl team that left the Caribbean ship in Zhou Chang's secret room in [Endless Sea] before? Everyone wore sportswear and flat shoes that were convenient for movement, and their hair was all
Tie them up. Looking at their outfits, it should be them, right?"
Mo Xuemin said with certainty: "Yes, he is from Luoying Pavilion."
At that time, the girl team adopted the method of hijacking another ship to clear the customs. Judging from the final number of people who cleared the customs, they should have survived. As for whether they encountered sharks and what to do specifically, since they were not in a sea area, Xiao Lou also
Not sure.
br/
These girls are obviously the elite group of Luoying Pavilion Guild.
I heard from Brother Jiu that the president of Luoying Pavilion is Chu Huaying, codenamed "Spider Goddess", and she is one of his surviving teammates in Plum Blossom J.
Although Xiao Lou has never met Chu Huaying, a woman who can survive the nightmare chamber of Plum Blossom J must be a very powerful person. For the sake of Ninth Brother, Xiao Lou also has a good impression of Luoying Pavilion Guild.
.
This group of smartly dressed girls acted in a unified manner and were well-trained. Unexpectedly, they also came to the survival secret room of the 8 of Spades.
Ye Qi said: "The presence of people from Luoying Pavilion means that this survival secret room is not just the eight of us, but maybe there are also challenger teams from other guilds?"
Recalling that the Spades Chamber often encountered other challengers in the past, Xiao Lou nodded and said: "It's possible. The Spades Chamber often matches many teams, but this time it's not like looking for gems in Liuxi Village. There are no challenges between the challengers.
There is a competitive relationship, and we need to face the problem of parasitism together. However, bugs can disguise themselves, and it is difficult for challengers to achieve absolute trust and join forces. It is a good thing that each goes his own way and does not drag each other down."
Professor Xiao's analysis is very reasonable, and the teammates have no intention of saying hello to these girls.
The girls from Luoying Pavilion obviously saw them. One of them, a tall girl with a height of over 175cm, came over, nodded to Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, and said hello: "Outlander?"
The title "outsider" has become a conventional name for challengers.
Yu Hanjiang only answered one word: "Yeah."
There was a safe distance of more than two meters between the two. It was obvious that Yu Hanjiang was wary of her being an infected person, and she was not confident about Yu Hanjiang's team. It would be safer to talk to each other through the air.
The girl said: "Let's exchange some information. Let me start by saying that this world is a parasitic infection. The parasites will enter the brain of the infected person and control the body of the infected person. We don't know what the pathogen is at the moment. The known transmission routes are blood, parasites, etc.
The insect spreads very quickly, a bit like the human world being invaded by the insect."
This girl was very organized and spoke very calmly. Xiao Lou looked at her with admiration and said, "We know about the same information as you. As for the transmission route, blood has been confirmed. Air can be eliminated. Can it be transmitted through food?"
There are currently no proven cases, so we cannot take it lightly."
The girl nodded and said: "Since it is a Zerg invasion, I suspect that there will be a mother worm or a leader of the Zerg in this world. Are there any special bosses among the plot characters you met?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said: "There is no boss-like character yet. I only heard that many people died in the respiratory department of the Second Hospital. There was one survivor. The other plot characters I met were all infected later."
The girl looked a little regretful: "We are the same. The Second Hospital seems to be the first to discover cases of infected people among all hospitals, but it cannot be ruled out that some people were infected earlier, but they just did not go to the hospital for examination... It seems that even if there is a boss
It’s not easy to find either.”
Xiao Lou said: "Yes, after all, it will not be easy to survive for 14 days."
The teams on both sides were several meters apart. After a while, the girl said, "You wish for your own good."
Xiao Lou said: "I also wish you good luck."
Neither party has any plans to "join forces". After all, the setting of "bugs can disguise" is a bit scary. No one knows whether the underneath of this layer of skin has been occupied by bugs. How can strangers trust it?
The girls' team turned around and left the shopping area, and Xiao Lou and the others were also preparing to go to the cashier.
At this moment, a young man wearing supermarket work clothes suddenly stopped them with a smile and said: "Our supermarket has a special promotion. Just apply for a membership card and buy a box of milk and get a box free. Do you want to participate?"
look?"
Before Xiao Lou could speak, Yu Hanjiang interrupted him coldly: "No need."
The young man smiled and said: "You can also buy one and get one free for chocolates. Sir, please apply for a membership card."
Yu Hanjiang looked obviously impatient and lowered his voice: "No need."
He turned to leave, but the young boy stretched out his hand to stop him. Yu Hanjiang quickly sidestepped and frowned in displeasure: "What are you doing?"
The boy explained softly: "Sorry, I am an intern in a supermarket. The manager has assigned us tasks. If we fail to complete the tasks, our bonus will be deducted. Sir, please do me a favor. Just fill in the information and you can apply for a membership card.
Very simple."
This boy is quite handsome and has a bright smile.
If it were the real world, Xiao Lou would definitely help with this. It is very convenient to register a mobile phone number and apply for a membership card in the supermarket. There will also be various discounts during holidays...
But now, looking at this boy's smile, he always felt that something was not right.
The temperature in the supermarket is getting lower and lower. Xiao Lou is so cold that he has goosebumps all over his body. This boy is only wearing very thin work clothes and shirts, and he still has a smile on his face... Isn't he afraid of the cold at all?
The moment Xiao Lou realized something was wrong, the boy turned around suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Lou's cheek!
Xiao Lou happened to be standing next to Yu Hanjiang.
This boy kept talking to Yu Hanjiang, his eyes were also on Yu Hanjiang's face, without even looking at Xiao Lou. His teammates thought he was just an ordinary supermarket shopping guide, an intern who solicited people to apply for membership cards - they did not expect that he would suddenly
Attack Xiao Lou!
Seeing that the boy's hand was about to touch Xiao Lou's face, Yu Hanjiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he flew up and kicked him directly in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground - he actually dared to attack Xiao Lou, and he knew how to attack in the east and in the west.
, conduct a surprise attack?!
This bug does have some ideas.
However, Yu Hanjiang had already become wary when he approached.
Yu Hanjiang has experienced hundreds of battles and battled wits and courage with countless criminals. How could a mere insect hurt Xiao Lou under his nose? The moment he noticed the boy raising his hand to attack Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang kicked him to death.
Kicked out——
The boy was nearly 1.8 meters tall and heavy. He was kicked several meters away by Yu Hanjiang. This shows how hard Yu Hanjiang had just kicked him! There was a loud "bang" sound, and the young boy's body was thrown straight.
He hit the shelf in the middle of the supermarket, and countless Coke bottles crashed down, instantly burying him!
The teammates looked at this scene and were all frightened.
Captain Yu's movements were as fast as lightning. The bug probably didn't expect that Yu Hanjiang would have seen through his plan of "making an attack in the east and attacking in the west." People who have been policemen have a strong sense of crisis, and every move he made was watched by Yu Hanjiang.
In eyes.
The boy was buried under the drink bottle, motionless. Yu Hanjiang picked up a mop in the supermarket and wanted to go forward to check whether he was dead or alive. But at this moment, the drink bottle was suddenly pushed away, and countless bottles rolled over.
The young man who had just been buried climbed out of the pile of bottles at an extremely fast speed.
He glared at Yu Hanjiang with his scarlet eyes, and seemed to realize that this group of people was difficult to deal with, so he simply crawled away nimbly close to the ground.
The boy crawled on the ground as fast as a snake. Suddenly, he saw a handsome boy crawling on the ground. Everyone was stunned. By the time they reacted, he had already disappeared around the corner.
Yu Hanjiang's face turned ugly: "The supermarket is also infected, everyone, please leave quickly!"
***
At this time, the cashier.
There are eight aisles at the cashier, and there are eight young girls standing there. People from the Luoying Pavilion team are queuing up in front.
Since everyone bought a lot of things, there were not many people in the supermarket at this time of the day, so they separated, and every two people pushed a shopping cart into the cashier aisle.
The girls at the checkout quickly swiped the barcodes, and the price of each item appeared on the computer.
The challengers of Luoying Pavilion began to pay with gold coins.
The captain, who was 175cm tall, just stretched out his hand to hand the gold coins to the girl at the cashier. As a result, the cashier grabbed her with his backhand and clawed directly at the back of her hand with his sharp nails!
The tall girl was from the elite team of Luoying Pavilion. She reacted very quickly and retracted her right hand to avoid the attack. Her face changed and she said sternly: "They are all infected, hurry up!"
The professionally trained team has first-rate execution. After hearing the captain's words, the girls around them immediately jumped out of the fence with agility. The shopping cart was too heavy to carry away, so they simply abandoned the shopping cart and ran faster than rabbits one by one.
quick.
Xiao Lou happened to see this scene when he came to the cashier.
He stood in the distance and glanced across the eight cashier aisles. The eight young female cashiers had exactly the same expressions on their faces, as if they were carved from the same mold!
There is no heating in the supermarket in the winter. They are all wearing short skirts and smiling brightly. It is really weird no matter how you look at them!
The girls from Luoying Pavilion ran very fast, climbed out of the fence and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The eight cashiers failed to attack and did not chase them. Instead, they collectively turned their heads and looked at Xiao Lou with a smile.
Xiao Lou: "..."
The hairs all over his body were about to stand up, and he whispered: "Everyone is infected..."
Yu Hanjiang's face was serious: "Don't throw away the supplies, please withdraw to the supermarket first!"
The passage at the cashier is very narrow and only allows one person to pass through. If you escape by climbing over the fence, it will be ruined if you are scratched in the process. These bugs just pretended to be cashiers and wanted to take the opportunity to scratch the back of the customer's hand when paying.
Now that the plan fails, they will definitely not be so gentle. Once they attack with all their strength, the risk will be greater if they go directly through the cashier aisle.
Yu Hanjiang calmly returned to the supermarket, wanting to discuss strategies with his teammates.
His sharp eyes glanced behind him——
Sure enough, the supermarket staff who were cooking roast duck, weighing fruits, and cutting fresh meat just now, as well as the customers who were pretending to pick vegetables and fruits, suddenly came behind them quietly.
These people didn't make any footsteps.
Because they crawled here close to the ground.
At this time, dozens of people were crawling on the ground like insects, staring at them with scarlet eyes.
In front of them, eight beautiful cashier girls were smiling at them.
Ye Qi's scalp almost exploded: "Holy shit, this supermarket is actually a nest of bugs!"
