Starvation Corpse

"2 days..."

Qin Yiguan frowned in thought, but his expression didn't seem particularly tense. He slowly said, "When my body flew to within about 1,000 kilometers of this area, something strange suddenly happened. I became emaciated overnight. In other words, this ' Hunger Disease ' has suddenly broken out in this area."

Men Luosha nodded. "We're currently in the far part of B5 Sector, on a forum called ' Demon's Wish.' About a year ago, Hunger Disease broke out here, killing nearly a thousand people so far. And recently, the Hunger Disease has become even more severe, with the death toll multiplying."

Qin Yiguan nodded.

My suspicions were confirmed.

He glanced around and said, "This town seems to have been abandoned for a while, but it was recently reopened and has become lively again. Everyone knows there's a ' Hunger Disease ' here, yet they're all flocking here. Could it be that you've come specifically to investigate this ' Hunger Disease ' because of some kind of bounty?"

Qin Yiguan then looked at Men Luosha's heavy motorcycles. "Your motorcycles are clearly for long-distance travel, which means you've come from afar. But I don't quite understand, don't you all look like doctors?"

"Very smart."

The sexy beauty Men Luosha, glanced at Qin Yiguan, her eyes flickering slightly. "You're pretty much right."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qin Yiguan smiled. "Then you all must have come prepared. In other words, if I want to survive, following you all might give me a sliver of hope."

"Join us?"

The sexy beauty Men Luosha glanced at Qin Yiguan again. At present, this young man was slightly better than a skeleton, but not by much.

The next moment.

Men Luosha's eyes hardened with arrogance. "If I told you the truth about this Hunger Disease, you probably wouldn't dare to join us anymore."

But Qin Yiguan puffed out his chest, which looked like it was about to fall apart, and laughed, "A twist would be best; I hate boring things the most."

Men Luosha smiled slowly, "Hunger Disease isn't actually a disease. Its true form is a monster living in the Experimental Zone called ' Starvation Corpse.' The Starvation Corpse emits ' Hunger Particle,' which parasitize humans, causing them to gradually starve to death."

Then, Men Luosha surveyed the desolate landscape ahead. "After several days of investigation, we've confirmed that the Starvation Corpse are within a thousand kilometers of this town. We are ready and about to capture Starvation Corpse."

"Starvation Corpse?"

"Monster?"

Qin Yiguan was somewhat taken aback. "This is the Metaverse. I know that animals that exist in reality also exist here. Even some animals that went extinct in history have been 'resurrected' by the Gemini Superbrain. Their existence is similar to that of Digital Human... However, these are all modeled after the real world."

"The Starvation Corpse you mentioned..."

Qin Yiguan looked at Men Luosha, "Even in ghost stories, there is no such creature. How could it appear in the Metaverse?"

The sexy beauty Men Luosha, looked at Qin Yiguan and shook her head slightly.

"First, this is the Metaverse Experimental Zone; everything you can imagine, and everything you can't, will happen here."

"Secondly, Qin Yiguan, have you never traveled far from home? It seems your understanding of the world hasn't been fully developed yet."

Immediately.

The sexy beauty Men Luosha gently pressed the side of the motorcycle, and a mechanic's steel knife popped out. She wiped it lightly. "And we are a hunter squad, specializing in capturing the rare and bizarre beings in the Experimental Zone, and then selling them to a wealthy man codenamed ' The Collector '."

Men Luosha then looked at the corpses of the 'scavengers' on the ground and slowly said, "The Collector of ' Starvation Corpse ' has offered a bounty of over a hundred million."

Qin Yiguan nodded slowly.

The whole situation is now quite clear.

It turns out that the root cause of all this was Starvation Corpse.

The reason this town is home to 'scavengers' and 'hunter squads' is because of the high bounties offered.

but.

Qin Yiguan still didn't quite believe the so-called ' Starvation Corpse '.

Although I can conjure monsters through [Gestalt Collapse], it is still just a conjure-upon-a-power ability. To say that there are actually native monsters called ' Starvation Corpse ' in this Metaverse just doesn't feel logical.

The Gemini Superbrain embody humanity's technological aspirations, representing a range of scientific attributes including Future technology, code programming, and more.

The world it creates is based on technology.

If there's anything illogical about this, it's the ' Reality Enhancement ' experienced by a minority.

But that's an enhancement based on the potential of the human brain.

Furthermore, one day, when people truly understand the secrets of consciousness, ' Reality Enhancement ' might not be so illogical!

Even the monsters that appear in the Leviathan Rift are mechanical beings; in other words, other parallel universes are also dominated by technology.

Starvation Corpse...

Could something like this, resembling a tale of gods and demons, really appear in the Metaverse?

It just doesn't feel like a good match.

Why would the Gemini Superbrain create something like this?

But then I saw this moment.

Led by Men Luosha, the heavily armed riders dismounted to check their vehicles and confirm the quantity of their weapons and equipment, seemingly preparing for departure.

The burly man who had spoken to Qin Yiguan Qin Yiguan earlier approached him and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, my name is Tie Liang. Don't worry too much. With Sister Sha's help, the Starvation Corpse will be dealt with quickly. Your Hunger Disease might even be cured on its own!"

I'll tell you in secret.

Tie Liang whispered, "My sister Sha's Fusion Rate has reached 53%, and she's even awakened Reality Enhancement. She's only 26 years old!"

Qin Yiguan nodded silently. "26 years old, 53% Fusion Rate, very good data."

Then Tie Liang's personal AI flashed, projecting a virtual panel. He flicked his fingers, dragging the panel in front of Qin Yiguan, and then enlarged it with two fingers, revealing a sophisticated mechanical arm.

"Brother Qin, look how handsome he is!"

"JJH-66, -- ' Hou Yi Prosthesis,' possesses 12 transformation functions, the most powerful of which is the archery ability like Hou Yi. It also comes in a set gift box, which includes an alloy particle bow and arrow, as well as various powerful arrows."

Tie Liang stared at the incredibly powerful mechanical arm on the screen, drooling. "Once I've dealt with the Starvation Corpse, I'll have enough money, and then I can carry this little treasure with me!"

Qin Yiguan looked at Tie Liang and nodded in agreement.

Not only Tie Liang, but almost everyone in this rider squad is equipped with a mechanical body. They are not necessarily disabled; rather, they voluntarily underwent physical modifications to improve their survival capabilities in this Experimental Zone.

Their belief lies in constantly replacing their limbs with stronger ones.

Men Luosha, on the other hand, was dressed entirely in tight-fitting leather, with no visible modifications to his body.

Perhaps they are so capable that they don't need to be reformed.

To put it bluntly...

Physical modification, to some extent, is a choice made out of necessity.

"That's about it."

But then the sexy beauty Men Luosha shouted, "Prepare to set off and capture the Starvation Corpse!"

The riders responded in unison, displaying impressive spirit!

Men Luosha stepped onto his heavy motorcycle, the engine roared, and shockwaves emanated from the motorcycle.

Qin Yiguan suddenly stepped forward and said, "If you don't mind, I'll go with you."

"You?"

Men Luosha glanced at Qin Yiguan, "Our motorcycles can't carry passengers."

Then, the beautiful woman glanced at Qin Yiguan's Shadow and laughed, "Taking you with me is impossible, but if you can keep up with our pace, I really have no right to interfere."

Men Luosha gently pressed her helmet, instantly covering her face. Then, her buttocks slightly protruded, making her hot figure even more alluring. She lay prone on the motorcycle and twisted the throttle.

Buzz...

With a deafening roar, the heavy motorcycle's wide tires kicked up a cloud of gravel as it sped away.

The other members of the hunter team followed closely behind.

As they drove into the distance, the black flagpole on the back of the motorcycle suddenly released a huge and dazzling sail of light, which seemed to be a powerful energy device.

The light shimmered and sparkled.

The entire heavily armed motorcycle convoy transformed into a blur of light and shadow, vanishing into the horizon in an instant.

Qin Yiguan then remembered that their motorcycle was called ' Far Sail Motorcycle '.

"Their speed is at least 50% of the speed of light."

Qin Yiguan looked at the Shadow, which hadn't yet started moving, and scratched his head. "I don't think I can catch up?"
