Zane Turns People Into

You Lei Sha is gone.

Her expression as she left was quite subtle.

Parasites turn people into ghosts, but the Zane Dungeon turns people into monsters.

Neither human nor ghost?

After You Lei Sha had completely left, Gong Qiying, with the same subtle expression, started flipping through the video. Looking at the group of survivors who had become even more outrageous than the crazy ones, even he found it difficult to keep his emotions in check.

Originally, he wanted to show You Lei Sha how survivors grew into hunters full of violent aesthetics under Sain's education, but when he opened the Crystal Ball, the person inside gave him the feeling that he could roar and Magnetic Field Rotation at any time.

What else can we do? Let's get You Lei Sha away first, and hopefully there won't be any strange comments about Sain in the future.

How did you all become like this?

Gong Qiying remembered that she had engraved all the precautions and other details into Fan En's mind. This young man should be the instructor for these newcomers. He seemed like a reliable young man and should be able to restrain people's behavior.

Wait, could it be that there's a problem with the instructors?

The images gradually reversed, one scene after another flashing by, finally allowing Gong Qiying to find the source of the problem.

"A shadowy figure in this underground city once warned me to maintain reverence for all hunting, so that I could resist the bestiality brought about by blood healing."

In the video, Fan En solemnly gives people instructions on what to pay attention to. The survivors all look like they have undergone blood therapy, but a few are missing. There are ten of them in total, all listening attentively.

However, Fan En suddenly changed the subject and said:

"But I also discovered something: as I gradually felt the thrill of hunting, my body could feel its hidden power being unleashed. This potential would eventually turn into real power within my body. In other words, the more addicted I am to hunting, the stronger I become!"

"But I discovered something else. With the help of that Doll lady, as long as we turn the Blood Echoes into our own power, especially intelligence and stamina, upgrading these two aspects can improve our resistance to the addiction to hunting pleasure. I have also tested it. If we upgrade more than three levels at once, the addiction to hunting in our minds will be completely suppressed!"

"So everyone, while we still need relatively little Blood Echoes to become stronger, let's immerse ourselves in the hunt! We absolutely cannot miss this great opportunity!"

"Go, everyone! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After reading it, Gong Qiying fell into silence.

It turns out the problem really was with Fan En!

I never expected that someone as honest and unassuming as you could come up with such a wicked way to become stronger!

Gong Qiying opened his mouth as if to say something, then fell silent for a moment before finally closing his mouth.

I really don't know what to say.

So where did this weird way of getting stronger come from? It sounds like taking Beast Pill. Blood healing wouldn't give people this kind of ability, right? It can't be a special constitution of the Red people.

Regardless of the reason, judging from the results on site, this unorthodox method really works.

The old woman, who was panting after running for a while, picked up her cane and frantically stabbed the Beastification Citizen who couldn't fight back. The remaining people, who were even stronger than her, made even more obvious progress.

Gong Qiying watched as these people, even more like Beastification Citizen than the Beastification Citizen, howled and hacked wildly. Then, one by one, Fan En forcibly tied them to the Doll to level up. After leveling up, they basically came to their senses and then threw themselves back into the hunt.

It turns out that Fan En served as a last resort in this process.

"Something must be wrong."

From the perspective of ordinary, kind-hearted people, the training methods of these survivors definitely don't look like the right way; you could believe it was some kind of cult's cruel trick.

But upon closer reflection...

In their own eyes, Fan En and his group's current situation is perhaps the absolute hell on earth.

Lacking food and clothing, with parasites constantly mutating, the number of survivors is dwindling, and it's uncertain whether the kingdom will send reinforcements or even whether the country still exists.

They were so insecure that they had finally found the only hope in this hellish underground city, so naturally they had to do everything in their power to improve themselves and increase their chances of surviving in hell, all in order to reclaim the city.

If you look at it this way, their behavior is quite normal; in fact, they've done a very rational job by only going this far.

Should we do something about it?

After thinking it over, Gong Qiying decided not to interfere with the survivors' actions.

They chose this path themselves, and so far it hasn't shown any significant harm, so let people decide for themselves.

He might at most ask Gilbert to elaborate on the dangers of excessive hunting.

The Meat Mountain that entered the Zane Dungeon today is definitely not the last mutant. More mutants will come in the future, and Sien eliminating these powerful mutants will be the greatest help to the survivors.

As for the scattered parasites, let the survivors who are hot-bloodedly reclaiming the city deal with them.

Gong Qiying waved his hand, swiping away the dungeon screen on Reid's side and opening the screen on the Arnor Kingdom.

Everything is running smoothly at the core, and because Anzi III needs more Blood Vial, Farron Keep currently ranks first in terms of the number of active adventurers in all regions.

There doesn't seem to be much else to talk about. Oh, right, I don't know who spread the news that the Royal Palace was considering establishing Sien as a "National Dungeon." It's something that's still far from being finalized, but thanks to the propaganda of the Sparkfire Church and others, it's become common knowledge and has gained a lot of support.

The day when the Zane Dungeon truly becomes the National Dungeon of the Arnor Kingdom is drawing ever closer.

Gong Qiying scrolled through today's messages, her brows furrowed slightly. She felt restless and couldn't calm down.

He finally sighed, opened Reed's dungeon construction panel again, and added some insignificant things that should be useful to the survivors.

After he finished doing everything, he muttered to himself:

"You like humans that much, Godwyn?"

For survivors, time is the richest thing.

When you're hiding in an underground shelter, there's almost nothing to do if you don't leave. At that time, you feel like time is passing very, very slowly, and the feeling of each day dragging on forever becomes a tangible reality.

But today, Yi Sha felt that time had passed very, very quickly.

I always felt like I had just slashed some Beastification Citizen and leveled up a bit, so how did it become the end of the day?

My body was already tired, but my mind was still excited.

"Brother, I haven't felt this fulfilled in a long time."

Yi Sha lay in the white flowers, looking at Fan En who was wiping the gun for her. The pistol was truly a magical artifact. After seeing it today, she became obsessed with it. It was just a pity that everyone only had one, and they didn't plan to give her an extra one to fulfill her dream of being a dual-wielder. The dual pistols she had just used were borrowed from Fan En to make up the difference.

Now she understands why Fan En's personality changed so drastically after spending a day in the dungeon; she feels her mindset has also changed somewhat.

Unlike Fan En, who treated everyone equally, Yi Sha's intuition told her that leveling up shouldn't involve evenly allocating points. She treated herself like a guinea pig, focusing solely on increasing intelligence, vitality, and a little bit of strength, and so far, the results have been quite good.

Now that I have power, it seems that it is not impossible to create those traps and mechanisms that I could only think about before.

Moreover, she seemed to have a special talent for using guns, hitting the target every time. After a day of training, her Gun Parry success rate reached 50%, far exceeding all the survivors. Even Fan En couldn't compare to this genius girl.

"Dungeons are truly amazing," she exclaimed sincerely.

"Everyone is living a fulfilling life."

Fan En replied with a smile, then looked up and saw the survivors lying flat all over the Hunter's Dream, looking truly exhausted.

Several survivors separated from the main group when they entered. It seems that the maximum number of people who can explore the dungeon together at the same time is ten? A reasonable number. Since the precautions had been explained beforehand, Fan En was not too worried about the few who got separated.

To avoid the negative impact of such an event, the people agreed to leave the underground city and meet in the outside world in thirty-six hours. They only had enough food and supplies for one and a half days, and since everyone was new to the city, it would be unwise to bring all the supplies with them.

However, it seems that this underground city will not be closed. If they live here with supplies, wouldn't they be able to rest easy?

Fan En shook his head, banishing the lazy thought from his mind. They still needed to find more survivors and expand the scale of saving the city.

He looked at the group of people who were resting. Their progress today was quite impressive. He felt that they were all flames of hope. They just needed to make their flames a little stronger so that they could hold up a whole sky.

"It's time to eat."

Although the place we were in was called Hunter's Dream, we still felt hungry, and because of today's intense exercise, we got hungry very quickly.

However, the types of food you can eat do not change depending on your level of hunger.

There's some spoiled but still edible hard bread, and pickled vegetables so salty they could kill you with savory flavors. That's all people can eat now, so naturally, everyone has complaints.

"If only I could have some honey Lemon Cupcake," Yi Sha sighed, grimacing as she shoved the pickled vegetables into her mouth. The people around her sighed as well, eating as if it were a daily chore.

However, just then, a fragrant aroma wafted over, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"What smells so good!"

People then realized the Doll was missing, and following the scent, they found a small table set up in the workshop's backyard, covered with various items.

"Brother, am I dreaming?"

Yi Sha raised her hand to wipe her mouth, and saliva was already dripping uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth.

"Big, about?" Fan En's lips were also a little numb, and his eyes gradually lit up.

The behavior of the others was even more horrifying; they could easily be mistaken for starving ghosts.

Because that small table was filled with a sumptuous and fragrant meal!

It's steaming hot, and it's still emitting heat!

Unable to contain their excitement, people rushed forward, and some even dared to scoop up a spoonful of soup and drink it, even if it was poison.

"How is it? Is it edible?" People stared at him nervously.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock."

The sound of water droplets hitting the ground?

No, it's that person who started crying!

"I... I haven't eaten such delicious food in so long, waaaaah!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved and quickly gathered around the small table to wolf down their food. Without any pause, food was being stuffed into their mouths before it even slid down their throats. Everyone's expression was ferocious, so ferocious that they could have eaten a whole cow.

The brain is frantically sending signals like, "This is delicious, that is delicious, everything is delicious!"

As the meal progressed, people's expressions softened, and eventually, tears streamed down their faces. One cry after another touched everyone present.

The effect of a delicious meal is definitely not limited to filling one's stomach; its more important function is to create pleasant memories and remind people of something:

I am still a person, someone who pursues life!

This feast acted as an anchor, firmly holding people's scattered spirits captive.

But where did these things come from?

[Doll Banquet]

[Made for the Doll responsible for taking care of the hunter in the dream; the dishes are plentiful and the taste is excellent.]

The inspiration for the dish comes from the memories of an unconventional hunter who has tasted countless delicacies throughout his life. The fact that a Doll without a sense of taste and who does not need to eat can reproduce it is presumably out of a sense of responsibility to take care of the hunter.

This was a gift from Gong Qiying, a dinner with no special effects, yet people's reactions made it seem as if it had special effects.

At the very least, it strengthened people's resolve.

"For the honey Lemon Cupcake!" Yi Sha cried as she stuffed the last cookie into her mouth, slurring her words, "I'm going to kill all the parasites!"

"Kill all the parasites!"
