Chapter 94 Death Apartment (10)
Humans have a certain tolerance for hunger and thirst, but this tolerance is limited.
After nearly 24 hours without eating, everyone's tolerance has reached a critical point. There is no digestible food in the stomach. The stomach acid pepsin digests itself, and the stomach feels burning and cramping.
It's fine when I don't remind, just as I was reminded by the rumbling sound of my stomach, the hunger and thirst that had been hinted to ignore can no longer be ignored.
Pain in the stomach, dry and itchy throat, licking the lips with a dry tongue, did not have a moisturizing effect, but only felt the deep lip lines on the lips and the popped lips.
Yu Zhuzhu has a habit of light fasting on weekdays. Her tolerance for hunger is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but at the same time, her huge daily water intake makes her even more intolerable to be dehydrated for a long time.
Coupled with the long-term tension and fear in the story, her body's water and salt are lost at a much faster rate than usual. In this case, her thirst for water is actually far more than usual.
Many people hardly drink water at ordinary times. They may feel that it is not so unbearable to not drink water for a day. He completely ignores the importance of water intake to the human body. These people may indeed drink very little water, but in the vegetables they eat every day There is a lot of water in food such as meat, plus some messy drinks, in terms of water intake, it is completely up to the standard.
Not eating, not ingesting any fluids, and without any supplements in the body, there is no source of water intake at all, which has a huge impact on the human body.
When people lack food but have water, their survival time is completely different from that when people lack food and water intake. The latter's time is much shorter than the former.
This is only the first day, and it may not even have passed 24 hours. In the remaining two days, the negative effects of this hunger and hunger on the body will be multiplied geometrically, plus the middle Because of the increased physical exhaustion of running around, some of them may die of hunger and thirst without waiting for the ghosts to take action.
The most important thing is that the environment is not right. If they are in a safe and comfortable environment, it will be fine if they don’t drink water for a few days, but who makes them now in a world of 100,000 people, in a dangerous environment at any time, they must have Sufficient physical strength and energy to face dangers that may come at any time.
"I really can't drink urine, it's all in my body anyway."
Cheng Kun licked his dry lips and said calmly, not knowing where he came from, so he can give this advice without changing his face.
"Why don't you say you'll eat shit when you're hungry?"
Jiang Zheng said angrily.
It was because of the scene I just saw that I was hungry and disgusting, and what Cheng Kun just said added a psychological shadow.
But have to say that Cheng Kun's proposal is practical and effective. Many people choose to collect urine when they are extremely dehydrated, which can replenish both water and a very small amount of salt.
But reason returns to reason. How many normal people in real life will drink urine, even their own urine is not enough. First of all, they will not be able to pass the test in their hearts.
"I suggest you better not do it."
Jiang Zheng intended to ridicule him, but Cheng Kun seemed to take it seriously and gave him popular science in a serious manner.
"There are intestinal bacteria in human feces. In addition, there is a little hydrogen sulfide and skatin, which is also the main source of fecal odor. There are pathogenic bacteria in these intestinal bacteria. One of the ways that you have to eat these things back, no one can guarantee that you will not get seriously ill from those pathogenic bacteria that you re-intake.”
Cheng Kun paused after speaking.
"Of course, you must eat, and no one is stopping you. There is indeed a large part of protein in the feces, inorganic salts and water, which may really be able to satisfy hunger. Occasionally eat one or two meals, maybe it can last you 72 hours. , After you leave "One Hundred Thousand", your negative buffs in the story will naturally disappear."
As long as you can still breathe at the end of the story, when you leave the story and return to the real world, you will still be alive and free from all illnesses. Gu Chu has experienced it firsthand. Back then, she scratched the skin on her body full of holes. After leaving that story, he returned to his original appearance.
Cheng Kun's narration was very bland, but the person who listened to it was about to vomit in disgust.
"Do you have to eat shit and drink urine?"
Jiang Zheng said frantically, and he could vaguely hear the sound of chewing pieces of meat coming from downstairs, which made people nervous.
"Eating shit is what you said."
Cheng Kun's eyes suddenly became fierce, and with the tendon and tattoos on his body, he looked so scary.
"Otherwise? What do you want to eat and drink for the next two days?"
His eyes swept across the rest of the people, and paused for a few seconds when he saw Zhang Fengnian.
Besides shit and piss, what else is in this apartment?
...Looking at the growing defensiveness in each other's eyes, obviously they all thought of it together.
Evil thoughts are seduced step by step. Once you start doing it, this is a kind of breaking. The bottom line of people is that in breaking again and again, it becomes lower and lower, lower and lower... Once Pandora's box is broken Release, and the demon will no longer be under control.
Now, each of them can firmly say that they will not give up the bottom line, but in 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours... In the future, because of hunger and thirst, their willpower becomes fragile, and their more vigorous desire to survive will make them It's unknown what kind of thing it will do.
Never try to test humanity!
【You can choose to be kind, or you can choose to be evil】
This sentence in the task book prompt seems to indicate from the beginning that this is not just a dangerous escape game, and their enemies in this game are not just those who can see the ghosts, and now they are still There is one worst enemy, and that is yourself.
What will be the result of choosing a different path, there is no clear answer in the prompt, no one can guess what "One Hundred Thousand" is thinking, and sometimes, they even doubt whether One Hundred Thousand is a complete spirit. Wisdom things are hidden somewhere, looking at their embarrassed appearance at the moment.
"Let's think about it again, there is no mortal situation in "One Hundred Thousand". There must be some normal food and water in this apartment."
Jiang Zheng didn't care about He Cheng Kun raising the bar, and said with a serious face.
There are always some readers who stick to the bottom line, so for these readers, this escape game is a dead end. But readers who are familiar with this game know that no game can be a dead end, and "One Hundred Thousand" must still have a chance of survival, but they haven't found it yet.
Jiang Zheng suspects that there is such a batch of materials in a corner of the apartment that has not yet been searched, but in order to allow readers like them to compete, this batch of materials is very likely to be very limited.
Of course, this is just his speculation at the moment.
Jiang Zheng swallowed his throat hard, probably because he was thinking about food in his head, he only felt more and more hungry and thirsty. When he swallowed, he didn't even secrete saliva, and the throat was dry and dry. .
Several people present were almost in the same state as Jiang Zheng.
The sound of the female ghost downstairs finally stopped, and several people on the fourth floor stopped their mouths and quietly paid attention to the movement from below.
That thing went upstairs!
Just when everyone's hearts were being raised, the voices below stopped on the third floor. The female ghost didn't chase them up to the fourth floor, but returned to their room, and everyone was a little relieved.
When the foreign trouble disappeared temporarily, everyone's contradictions once again returned to the internal worries.
"The layout of room 108 is different from my room. There is no bathroom and it looks smaller. From what I don't know, it seems to be a female room with a sense of age."
Cheng Kun opened his mouth to break the silence. He did not mention his theory of excrement and urine, but simply shared his findings on the first floor.
Of course, he didn't mention the old man who suddenly appeared behind him while he was checking the room.
In order to save saliva, Cheng Kun spoke quickly and concisely, and did not elaborate on the simple but very thoughtful arrangements in the room at all.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other people with a clear attitude, hoping that they would quickly share their findings on the floor they were on.
"The problem of the woman on the third floor, we don't need to elaborate, you just saw it with your own eyes."
Jiang Zheng stared at Cheng Kun and said dissatisfiedly.
Before, he thought that this big man looked rather unscrupulous, but now he may not think about it.
Among them, only Cheng Kun inspected a floor alone, so even if he provided clues to mislead them, they could only verify it through the later inspection of the first floor. If he just concealed some more important findings, they would It is even more impossible to know. Even if the clues are discovered later by checking the first floor by himself, there is no way to judge whether Cheng Kun is ignorant or deliberately concealed.
But they are different. There is another reader who monitors every move during the inspection. One chooses to hide it, and the other knows it even if he doesn't expose it. He doubts the character of his temporary partner. During the time, I unconsciously doubted every word the other party said.
And if he chooses not to lie or hide because of fear of this, Cheng Kun will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary, because he can get many clues to other floors without any effort.
And when the other party shared the information on the first floor before, they didn't give them time to react. If he hadn't opened his mouth so suddenly, they could have confessed to each other and given a clue that they both agree with and can tell others.
treacherous! cunning!
Jiang Zheng cursed inwardly, while squeezing out their discovery on the third floor bit by bit.
Just as Jiang Zheng was about to tell the horror scene they had seen in the room belonging to the female ghost on the third floor, Zhang Fengnian picked up his words.
"There is a lot of blood in the female ghost's room on the third floor, and there are two styles of clothes in the cabinet, one kind of good family, one kind of exposure, in line with the identity of the prostitute mentioned in the story."
Because of the lack of water, Zhang Fengnian's voice was a little hoarse, his speech speed was similar to Cheng Kun's, and his description was as concise and general as possible.
"We hid in the room and saw the true face of the female ghost. When the female ghost raised her head when she heard the movement, you should have seen it too."
Because of Zhang Fengnian's reminder, several people remembered the bloody face, the blood-stained white teeth without lips covering them, and the pale pupils staring in their direction.
This seems to be a faceless ghost. To be precise, it is a faceless ghost. The other party is wearing clothes that almost cover her whole body. Just now they were only focused on her movements, but they didn't notice anything other than her face. Whether the skin on other parts of her is still there.
But just as she twisted her limbs and lay on the ground, sticking out her tongue greedily to eat, one could not help but suspect that the lost skin and muscles of her lips and face were all grabbed and eaten by herself.
After saying this, Zhang Fengnian kept silent, as if he had finished all the clues he had so far.
Jiang Zheng glanced at Zhang Fengnian. The other party meant that he wanted to hide the horrible scenes they had seen in the room on the third floor.
This Zhang Fengnian was indeed as scheming as he imagined.
However, Jiang Zheng also acquiesced to Zhang Fengnian's concealment after thinking for a while. After all, it was an important clue that they risked their lives to get. Why should they tell others so easily? This is a deadly game. They have to work hard here To survive, we must strive to obtain the highest reward. Everyone in front of us is a competitor, and it is not a game of making friends.
Besides, didn't Cheng Kun hide any important news? For example, when they saw him before, why was he lying on the old man's rocking chair.
It can be seen that people are selfish, and now Zhang Fengnian has concealed this clue, and he is just cooperating with Zhang Fengnian.
"We found nothing on the fourth floor, and after...after..."
Liu Lin said in a hoarse voice. Thinking of the scenes that happened before, she still has lingering fears in her heart, and she still choked up when she spoke.
"I just want to live. If you can help me survive this catastrophe, ten million, twenty million... No, no, I will give you fifty million. As long as I can live, I will give you more money." I would also like to give it to you."
Liu Lin acted like a terrified rich man, as long as she could survive, she was willing to spend as much money as she could.
They all briefly explained the clues they found in the previous inspection, and only Gu Chu and Yu Zhuzhu were left.
Everyone looked at them with unison.
Gu Chu was still hesitating whether to tell them directly what she found in those buckets on the fifth floor, but in fact, if she didn't tell them, these people would find out sooner or later.
This test of human nature made Gu Chu extremely disgusted.
But she couldn't stop this test of humanity, she was silent for a moment, and now, finding the ray of life in this story has become a crucial thing.
"There is no light on the fifth floor. After we groped to enter, we found that there seemed to be only one room on the fifth floor. But because there is no lighting tool, I don't know what kind of layout it is inside."
Gu Chu spoke.
"If I'm not wrong, Yu Zhuzhu and I also met the monster that Liu Lin said killed Xu Chaoqiong."
This remark shocked everyone else, and they didn't bother to explore the strange layout of the fifth floor.
"That thing didn't enter the fifth floor. We just saw a huge and twisted shadow at the entrance of the stairs on the fifth floor.
That point of light could hardly reflect any reflection, let alone in an already pitch-dark environment.
Anyway, Yu Zhuzhu's naked eyes didn't see anything at all, and she also knew from Gu Chu's mouth that there was danger approaching at that time.
"Why didn't that thing hurt you?"
Jiang Zheng asked urgently.
Xu Chaoqiong's tragic death gave them a sense of urgency. Even a woman who backed the fair and most likely rented a bunch of life-saving items before entering the story could not survive. Are they sure they can beat Xu Chaoqiong?
"We don't know either."
Gu Chu shook his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, which was indeed a question she still hadn't figured out yet.
"Could it be that the monster itself cannot enter the fifth floor?"
Because since they saw the shadow of the monster, the other party has been standing on the last step to the fifth floor. Gu Chu frowned and pondered, is it because the ghosts have some restrictions and can't enter the fifth floor?
Of course, there is another possibility, because before the monster was ready to enter the fifth floor, it was attracted by Liu Lin and Xu Chaoqiong for some reason, and then, Xu Chaoqiong died.
It was still too few times, so that Gu Chu could not accurately judge the killing opportunity of the monster.
"Is it because of the sound from the fifth floor?"
Yu Zhuzhu said cautiously.
"Not long after we entered the fifth floor, there was a thumping, thumping sound in the room, just like the sound of chopping meat and bones. After that monster appeared, Sister Gu and I hid in the corner. Who knows, the monster didn't come in until the strange noise disappeared, I may have been too scared, and I realized that the monster left early in the middle."
Yu Zhuzhu didn't know why Gu Chu concealed the things stored on the fifth floor, but among the remaining readers, Gu Chu was the only one she subconsciously felt reliable.
Moreover, she is a newcomer. Under the circumstance that an experienced reader like Xu Chaoqiong may die at any time, if she wants to live, she must show her own value. She is willing to help her when she is in danger and others can do their best to help her. Reach out and pull her.
Yu Zhuzhu made a desperate bet on Gu Chu. Not only did she not expose Gu Chu's lies, but she even spoke according to her intentions.
Yu Zhuzhu's well-behaved appearance is very deceptive, and she is still a newcomer. After she opened her mouth, several other readers didn't know what they thought, but on the surface they seemed to believe it.
These are the clues that can be exchanged at present. Whether to believe it or not, and how much to believe is a matter that everyone should weigh in their hearts.
In the moment of hunger and thirst, no one chooses to rest, almost all of them are forced to check the places that they have not checked.
Cheng Kun, Jiang Zheng and Zhang Fengnian chose the fifth floor by coincidence.
Gu Chu watched them go upstairs, where there should have been the stumps that she and Yu Zhuzhu had picked out and not put back in.
But now Gu Chu, who has doubts about the apartment itself, is betting that when they go upstairs, they will only see what she and Yu Zhuzhu saw when they went upstairs.
The flesh and blood are still in the crock pot, maintaining the original appearance... After a night of experience, everything here seems to have been reset directly, just like when Gu Chu and the others came in before.
It was not surprising that Yu Zhuzhu chose to follow her to Gu Chu, but what surprised her was that Liu Lin chose to follow her.
According to normal logic, it is definitely safer to be with Cheng Kun and the other three experienced readers. After all, there is already a newcomer Yu Zhuzhu beside Gu Chu, and the two of them are already on the fifth floor. With contact and understanding, in the event of danger, even if Gu Chu wants to save a person, he will most likely choose Yu Zhuzhu, unless Liu Lin feels that in Gu Chu's heart, her money is more attractive than Yu Zhuzhu.
And among the remaining readers, only she and Yu Zhuzhu are women. Maybe it is for this reason that Liu Lin chose her and Yu Zhuzhu, who are both female.
Because of his doubts about Liu Lin, Gu Chu acquiesced to Liu Lin's choice.
Instead, Cheng Kun took the initiative to ask Liu Lin to join them.
At this point, I also received a sneer from Jiang Zheng. I guess he thought that Cheng Kun was open to seeing money. Even if Liu Lin chose Gu Chu, he had to ask the other party to act with him. It was probably because he took a fancy to the thank you promised by Liu Lin. .
Gu Chu has been observing the movements downstairs in her self-study. After making sure that the woman on the third floor leaves again, she walked to the turning point of the stairs on the second and third floors, where Xu Chaoqiong was divided by the monster.
Strangely, Gu Chu frowned. She thought she would see a place where the bones were eaten cleanly, but who knew that the place was still the same as when she first heard the screams and went downstairs.
The criminal police career allowed Gu Chu to face these things calmly. Gu Chu was silent for a moment. Could it be that the female ghost's appetite was too small to swallow a whole corpse?
She walked over and squatted down. She wanted to know what the female ghost had eaten. Gu Chu has cooperated with the forensic doctor to complete the assembly of some victims' bodies. For her, this is the process of finding the truth for the victims.
In this way, she used the calmest expression to do something that was extremely terrifying in the eyes of others.
Maybe it was her composure that infected Yu Zhuzhu. When the other party saw this, she took a deep breath and squatted down to help. She recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, held her breath, and kept telling herself not to be afraid, her hands and feet were stiff like a robot, help. action did not stop.
At this time, Gu Chu's precise memory came in handy. She placed them in the right position according to the shape of these things and the texture of the incision.
Liu Lin stood behind the two, her face backlit, hidden in the shadows, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Chu and Yu Zhuzhu also seemed to have forgotten her as a person, and never asked her to come to help from beginning to end.
I don't know how long it took, Yu Zhuzhu had picked up the last piece, and Gu Chu also took it from her and completed the final piece.
All the existing ones on the ground were used, and at this time, the complete Xu Chaoqiong also appeared in front of them, the fat, thin, height and Xu Chaoqiong in memory were exactly the same.
Gu Chu was silent, the greedy female ghost in their eyes just now eats people, and only the things that fell from the pocket she was holding disappeared!
