Chereads / The Apocalypse of Hungry World / Chapter 9 - Exploration

Chapter 9 - Exploration

*Hello, human, it's day two.*

The news of a hungry world has come again.

*Hungry World: Still the same as yesterday, when the rainbow bands in the sky start to burn, the outside will be quiet, and you will come out again to find food and treasure.*

*If you have a lot of food, you can't stay in the cage, the cage is not your eternal shelter, and when danger comes, it will be useless.*

*When the rainbow ribbon above the sky burns to completion, be sure to return to your residence.*

*No more tips on food today, there were only a few hazelnut mushrooms left yesterday, and it's your luck to find them.*

*Try to level up and eat better things, good luck.*

"Why don't you give us a hint? If you want to kill us, just say so!"

The players started making sounds.

"Yeah, there's also sneak attacks like the Chilop worm, and the cage is apparently made out of Ulla grass, it's really giving us trouble!"

"Unfair!"

"It's dangerous to be everywhere without warning us!"

*Unfair?*

*Ha ha ha ha!*

The entire hungry world suddenly resounded with strange laughter, resounding in every cage.

It also echoes in Adam's clay chamber.

*Are you used to being at the top of the food chain, and you feel unfair when you come here? So, have you ever been fair to other creatures in your human world?*

*Accept the rules, just like you used to make the rules.*

*Play well and seriously! Oh, I forgot, if you die, you really die.*

*If all players die, then your human race will become extinct.*

*Total destruction.*

*Good luck to you.*

The words that the hungry world will no longer speak, but humanity will completely perish, make all players feel that the atmosphere is heavy.

With the sound of the rainbow ribbon burning, the red light once again enveloped the hungry world and penetrated into the cage.

Once again, the bell rang solemnly.

It stretched long and awe-inspiring, like a funeral that was about to begin.

When all players push the door open and stand outside.

They saw flames covering the sky again.

Rainbow ribbons flowed from one side to the other, and one end started to burn.

The red light was so glaring and distinctive that it pierced through the entire hungry world.

Adam carried a kitchen knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked forward step by step.

This time, the storage space in Adam's kitchen knife contained only a few light items, and the heavy items were placed in the B kitchen knife storage room received from trade.

[Wastewood forest, originally no resources available, but after gathering clay in the wasteland yesterday, something new seems to be growing.]

At this time, the hidden clues have changed.

"Oh? A new lead?"

Adam hastily walked towards the clearing yesterday.

Then saw some straight trees growing in the clearing.

[Basswood, strong texture, straight grain, this is high-grade wood, good material for building granite houses, can only be filled with a level 3 kitchen knife.]

"Huh? Can only be harvested if my knife kitchen level reaches level 3?"

Adam took the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at the level.

[Level 2, temporarily unable to harvest Basswood.]

"Then how do I level up the kitchen knife?" Adam subconsciously looked up at the sky before letting out a sigh.

While counting the time of today above the sky, Adam just wanted to keep moving forward, but suddenly his heart moved.

"Although I can't harvest Basswood, I can harvest others!"

Pointed the kitchen knife at the waste wood forest and started swinging it wildly.

Most of the waste wood forest falls.

[Wood waste, it's useless.]

*Hungry World: Waste wood, recycled?*

"No!"

Adam felt that the clues from this hungry world were not very useful.

In a clearing where a forest of waste wood fell, a hint of clay appeared.

"Fill the clay!"

Adam swung the kitchen knife at the clay.

[Clay +1.]

[Clay +1.]

[Clay +1.]

...

After gathering all the clay, Adam noticed that beneath the clay, normal soil was exposed.

It turned out that under the forest the waste wood was covered with a layer of clay, so that other plants could not grow, but only wood waste.

Since basswood grew where it was after gathering clay yesterday, is it possible to grow more basswood tomorrow by creating the same clearing today?

"I hope tomorrow, I can upgrade the kitchen knife to 3 to collect the basswood here." Adam sighed and then connected his own kitchen knife B with the kitchen knife.

[Items can be transferred between your two kitchen knives.]

Adam had previously prepared B's kitchen knife to accept the transaction in his hand.

After transferring the clay, Adam also received an Ashwood tree trunk from the kitchen knife storage room B.

Then seeing the large area of fresh land that was exposed, Adam continued to move forward in satisfaction.

[Ahead, two dense-toothed rats are sleeping on the grass, and even if you don't touch them, the sound of footsteps will worry him.]

[Your kitchen knife can destroy one of them, but if you are bitten by another, you will not be able to break free, and although you can destroy the second with a kitchen knife, being seriously injured will also prevent you from moving forward or even back into the clay room .]

"That's right, if there is bleeding in a hungry world, then I will bleed to death!"

Adam immediately changed direction, avoided the dense-toothed rat, and walked on for a while.

[Ahead, five dense-toothed rats are sleeping in the Ashwagandha forest, although you don't have a human scent, but the footsteps will worry him, the five dense-toothed rats rush over, hold your limbs and head, otherwise you will die.]

It seemed that the Ashwagandha forest could no longer enter, so it shifted direction and moved forward.

[In the dungeon ahead, eight dense-toothed rats are sleeping. Although you don't have a human scent, but the sound of footsteps will worry him, and if you are discovered, you will be torn to bones in one minute.]

"How did the dense-toothed rats become so numerous now?" Adam was astonished when he saw that the hidden clues always turned up a rat-toothed rat wherever his feet took him.

[In the devouring war last night, the dense-toothed rats won an overwhelming victory. They devoured a large number of roaming chickens. The reproduction rate was extremely fast. Today, they will continue to breed. creatures will flee here from terror, and solid-toothed rats will attack everywhere because they are too hungry.]

"It turns out that this is how the wave of dense-toothed rats is coming!"

It seems that it will only take today and tomorrow before this moment of terror of the dense-toothed rat wave comes!

Solid-toothed rats without food will then destroy all cages.

A few rats will eat their own group, but most of them are likely to starve to death, causing the population to decline, and another round of devouring wars will start to repeat itself, and another species may once again rule over the starving world.

Adam carefully passed the dense-toothed rats in the cave and continued to move forward.

[Today's treasure pot is a bit far, 10 kilometers away from the current location. If you hurry to the treasure pot and don't encounter too much trouble, you can return to the clay house.]

[If you encounter extremely dangerous difficulties and time delay, you may not be able to return to the clay room.]

[Extreme danger chance is 1%, do you want to advance?]

"Of course walk forward! Why be afraid when the extreme danger is only 1%?" Adam thought to himself.

Stepped forward with a kitchen knife.

Along the way, Adam kept bumping into the sharp-toothed rat tips, and he chose to cut them off quietly.

But the other players weren't so lucky.

"There are a lot of solid-toothed rats today chasing me!"

"Up a tree, up a tree, they won't climb a tree!"

"My feet are gnawed by Chilop worms, I can't climb up the tree, there is a hole here, can I hide in the hole?"

"You want to hide in a hole? Stupid! Rats are even better at drilling holes!"

"Be careful, every friend, every time you get hurt, Alice will be in tears."

"It's you again! You're still lying in the cage and watching the rainbow bands burn up in the sky? Then amaze everyone with your singing, right? Why don't you just die?"

"Hahaha, it seems that there are idiots who are jealous! Each person has his own survival rules! Alice's benefits as an art lover and having a soothing chant have been on the popular list of transactions, and you can't even exchange them!"

"Damn it, I want to go to Thailand to be a pretty girl when all this is about beauty!"

"Don't talk nonsense, another dense-toothed rat is coming, run! Today's rat nest has become more numerous!"

When Adam saw the contents of the hungry chat, he involuntarily smiled. Then continue his journey down the underground cave.

[It seems that in front is a group of Chilop worms wrapped in hemp.]

Adam looked at the location the hidden clues pointed to, but found nothing.

"Huh? Where?"

Carefully following the direction of the arrow, Adam suddenly discovered a pile of one-meter-long objects, lying on the ground.

Very similar to the surroundings.

If it weren't for the arrow shaking and raising hidden clues, it would not have been detected by Adam!

Walked forward to take a closer look, only to find that it was indeed such a dense Chilop worm.

"Did I find the Chilop worm nest?"

Slash!

Adam swung the kitchen knife. Then he saw that Chilop's entire nest of worms jumped up at once, and at the same time screamed.
