Just then.
Among the crowd.
Another young, thin woman stepped forward. Her pupils trembled as she looked at the light screen overhead, then closed her eyes.
"I choose... A."
She hadn't eaten in three days either.
She had no other choice.
As a science student at a C9 university, she understood what a hundred million American cockroaches meant.
If she wanted to survive...
She could only gamble on Option A.
Without even looking up, Shen Sui said flatly:
"Only the first person willing to take a risk is exempt. The second still has to hand over supplies."
The thin woman showed no reaction and said nothing.
Three bags of bread...
Even if she handed over one, she would still have two...
Enough to keep her alive...
A countdown appeared on the light screen.
10.
9.
8.
Soon, two more men gritted their teeth and rushed to the right, beside Wang Dalong, declaring through clenched teeth:
"I choose... B."
A man in his forties scratched his head and walked up behind Lin Yu.
"I choose... A."
After that.
No one else moved.
Most survivors were waiting for an extremely low-risk [Choice]. Once a clearly harmless [Choice] appeared, over a hundred survivors would rush forward all at once...
But when a risk was involved, only a handful would usually move.
At that moment.
Wang Dalong looked at Shen Sui and shouted:
"Captain Shen, if I survive, can I keep all my supplies too? I was the first to choose B!"
Shen Sui replied calmly:
"If you survive... yes."
There was something else Shen Sui left unsaid.
And that was...
Wang Dalong was already certain to die.
The countdown ended!
A blinding light flashed, and everyone who had made a choice vanished from the clearing, transported by the light screen into a special space...
To face their [Choice]!
Lin Yu's vision went black, and he was transported straight into a biological laboratory bathed in blue light. The glass surrounding him was frosted, obscuring everything outside.
Directly in front of him stood a brown American cockroach, only three centimeters long.
"So this is the No. 32 Biological Laboratory on Kostan Planet?"
Lin Yu looked at the American cockroach with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Just as expected!
Everything was exactly as the Analysis information had shown!
With opportunities to use Analysis.
Every [Choice] in the world would become his treasure trove from now on!
They would no longer pose any danger!
Lin Yu stepped forward and crushed the American cockroach underfoot.
Its guts burst out!
Splat!
This special breed of Apocalypse American Cockroach was even weaker than an ordinary American cockroach. It couldn't even fly and was completely at his mercy.
Lin Yu didn't waste the American cockroach's corpse either. He picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket.
In the apocalypse.
Everything had value.
When he ran out of options and was on the verge of starvation, even a cockroach could provide protein.
[Challenge successful.]
Three bags of cream-filled bread were deposited in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu snatched up the bread.
Sweet!
Meanwhile.
Inside another sealed, dark room.
The instant Wang Dalong arrived, his pupils contracted sharply and his face went deathly pale!
He looked up to see endless American cockroaches in front of him, beating their wings and staring straight at him.
American cockroaches filled every inch of the space!
There was no end in sight!
Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but American cockroaches.
Even the walls...
And the ceiling were covered in American cockroaches!
Their densely packed bodies piled together like an enormous black monster.
The next second.
The American cockroaches lunged at him in a frenzy!
They swallowed up the last clear patch around him.
The entire room...
Had not a single gap left.
There was nothing but endless American cockroaches.
Wang Dalong ran with all his strength, flailing his arms like a madman, trying to escape the swarm surrounding him.
But only when his fingertips touched the cold wall.
Did he realize...
A hundred million American cockroaches.
Had already filled the entire room!
The American cockroaches completely engulfed Wang Dalong, biting into his body and plugging his nose and ears with their bodies. When he couldn't help screaming in pain, the densely packed cockroaches began frantically burrowing into his mouth...
Wang Dalong went mad, throwing himself onto the floor and rolling with all his strength.
He tried his hardest to crush all the American cockroaches to death.
But...
A hundred million was too many!
As he rolled, he realized his body was rising higher and higher.
The dead American cockroaches beneath him were enough to raise his body off the floor.
Wang Dalong fell into despair...
He knew...
There was no saving him.
From the moment he chose the American cockroaches, his fate had been sealed.
And the others who had chosen Option B shared that same fate.
Wang Dalong's horrific ordeal happened to be projected on the light screen.
During each light-screen [Choice], one or more survivors would be randomly selected from each answer for a live broadcast.
And this time, those selected.
Were Lin Yu and Wang Dalong.
Lin Yu's effortless success stood in stark contrast to Wang Dalong's ordeal!
The survivors couldn't stop trembling, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.
Without a doubt...
Wang Dalong was dead...
And his death had been agonizing!
"My God, a hundred million American cockroaches are actually that terrifying? This..."
"There isn't a single gap in the whole room. Isn't that certain death?"
"Probably only a Transcendent with wide-area destructive abilities would have any chance of surviving in there."
"Thank goodness I held back... I almost went along and chose B too..."
"I never expected the people who chose Option A to be so lucky. That special mutant cockroach actually posed no threat at all!"
"I'm so jealous... Three pieces of bread..."
Just then.
The light screen flashed again.
Those who had just entered the [Choice] were sent back.
On the left stood Lin Yu, the thin woman, and the man in his forties.
On the right lay five corpses, or rather... five skeletons, because the American cockroaches had gnawed away every scrap of flesh on their bodies.
The thin woman and the man in his forties looked overjoyed. They clutched their bread tightly, their eyes reddening.
They...
Had won their gamble!
From the crowd.
A delinquent with tattoo sleeves and dyed yellow hair sauntered over. With his nose in the air, he sneered, "You got pretty lucky. Hand it over!"
He was the other Transcendent in the Survival Squad.
Naturally, he meant the supplies they had to hand over.
Although reluctant, the thin woman and the man in his forties each took out a bag of bread and handed it to him.
Those were the Survival Squad's rules.
Then.
Yellow Hair turned his gaze toward Lin Yu, an amused smile curling his lips.
"What about you?"
Lin Yu said nothing and glanced at Shen Sui instead.
Yellow Hair frowned, intense displeasure flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to curse, Shen Sui's calm voice rang out. "Yellow Hair, don't break my rules."
Hearing Shen Sui's voice, Yellow Hair frowned.
But in the end...
He held his displeasure in check.
An icy smile curved his lips as he gave Lin Yu a long, meaningful look.
Just as he was about to leave.
Lin Yu picked up a bag of bread and held it out, speaking in a calm, even voice.
"I'm giving you this bag of my own accord. It has nothing to do with the rules."
Yellow Hair grinned when he heard that.
He patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said:
"Well, you know how things work, kid."
"I'll take the bread. If you ever run into trouble, just mention my name!"
"It'll do the trick!"
With that.
Yellow Hair snatched the bread from Lin Yu's hand and swaggered off, looking smug and arrogant.
Lin Yu had shown him respect.
And that made him very happy!
Lin Yu watched Yellow Hair walk away, his gaze calm, without saying a word.
