In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the cloud finally couldn't withstand it.

Zhang Yuan gave Jiang Qingyue and the others a big surprise; at the last moment, he actually managed to snatch the cloud-shaped quantum computer.

There was a two-second gap between the end of the battle and the arrival of the supreme god's hand. Everyone tried to launch a sneak attack during this two-second gap, but no one succeeded.

For example, right now, as soon as the barrier disappeared, Jiang Qingyue's arrow had already reached the arena, repelling the hand that was attacking Zhang Yuan.

Long Jiuxing and the others also rushed to the arena to pick up the person.

Other powerful figures from various regions also intervened to ensure the safety of their own people.

"Jiang Shen, here you go." Zhang Yuan handed over six quantum computers.

Jiang Qingyue took the six quantum computers that Zhang Yuan brought back. The main god would draw lifespan rewards to everyone before the next round would begin. There wasn't much time in between, so she had to check the quantum computers to see how many spoils there were and whether they were enough for the next person to go on stage and risk their life.

If all resources are used and there is still no hope of winning, then the only option is not to participate.

The first quantum computer belonged to that slug; they were the richest group they had discovered after observing dozens of battles.

Sure enough, when Jiang Qingyue opened the computer, he found that this guy, who was only ranked twentieth, also had a spatial backpack.

Zir Artur:

Health stat: 99/100

Satiety level: 100/100

Moisture content: 100/100

Trading currency: 5000000

Space backpack: 7/9 cubic meter

Overall Index: 36124+

The spatial backpack can only be viewed after merging with the quantum computer. Jiang Qingyue directly pulled the hand of Jia Fugui, who was ranked 19th, opened the other party's quantum computer, and selected to merge.

If all resources are used and there is still no chance of winning, then the quantum computer can be inherited by the 18th person, so it will not be wasted.

"Take the contents out and let's see," Jiang Qingyue said impatiently after the fusion.

Jia Fugui didn't waste a single second.

There was a pile of things on the ground.

Jiang Qingyue quickly rummaged through the useful items. Besides a bunch of local specialties that he couldn't understand, there were also quite a few familiar things. Five million trading coins were in a large box, which Jiang Qingyue simply put aside, as he didn't need them right now.

She is looking for crystal nuclei.

They quickly found three boxes. The largest one contained a level four crystal core, while the other two smaller ones contained level five and level six crystal cores, respectively.

As for level seven crystal cores, there wasn't a single one.

There weren't any level three ones either, which must have been used by the other party to enhance their strength. The high-level crystal cores of level four and above were kept because they were reluctant to use them. It's also because these guys were confident enough in their strength, otherwise there wouldn't be any left.

"I'll look at the remaining quantum computers, you can use them first." Jiang Qingyue pushed all the crystal cores to Jia Fugui.

Jia Fugui was one of the two naked men who followed Wang Longhua alongside Zhang Yuan, and was later bought from her by Liu Yuyao through bribery. His strength was not much different from Zhang Yuan's, and he had no shortage of combat experience.

As long as you can increase your combat power and have two more weapons, you still have a chance to fight your way into battle.

Jiang Qingyue then opened the other few quantum computers. Among the remaining five quantum computers, one of them also had a space backpack, but the backpack had been emptied and contained only a corpse, a lump of iron.

Clearly, this backpack belongs to those lumps of iron from District 5. They're being very cautious; they've either run out of resources or saved them for their teammates who haven't even entered the fray yet.

Fortunately, the values ​​of these quantum computers are all above 200,000.

The stronger a person is, the more special items they have used, and they will inherit all of them, resulting in a significant boost.

Jiang Qingyue dumped everything on Jia Fugui.

After using all the spoils, Jia Fugui's combat power was 283000, higher than Zhang Yuan's.

However, this guy had no weapons, and Zhang Yuan's soft armor and helmet were destroyed, so there was no way to continue using them.

Without the aid of special items, it's really hard to have confidence.

"It's alright, Jiang Shen. My combat strength is no weaker than theirs. Even with equal combat strength, I'm not without a chance."

Jiang Qingyue calmly observed the other major regions.

It's actually quite easy to tell who's going to play, because everyone is pouring resources into the person who's about to take the stage.

Observing the energy of those people and comparing it with Jia Fugui's, Jiang Qingyue felt increasingly uncertain.

No one had any extra special items to lend to Jia Fugui.

Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then handed him the bow: "Take this and see if you can increase it ninefold."

She herself didn't believe what she was saying; the Dog God would never let her exploit this bug.

But Jiang Qingyue still held onto a sliver of hope, just in case.

Okay, whatever.

Jia Fugui took it over, and his value was still 283000, not multiplied by nine.

Unless Jiang Qingyue kills himself and merges his quantum computer with Jia Fugui, the Snow Concealment Bow will not be inherited by Jia Fugui and will come with nine times the effect.

Otherwise, even if it is temporarily lent to him, it will only be an ordinary bow.

Moreover, without the bow, Jiang Qingyue would be unable to provide ranged support, and even if his own side won, they might not be able to leave the arena.

"Forget it, Jiang Shen." Jia Fugui handed the bow back. "Like you said, if you can die, so can I. I, Jia Fugui, am no coward..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Yuyao slapped him on the head: "What does this have to do with whether it's good or bad?"

Liu Yuyao scolded, "This is a critical moment of life and death. What's the use of reckless courage? If you don't make sufficient preparations, it won't just be you who dies, but everything Zhang Yuan went to great lengths to seize, and your personal terminal as well."

"What should I do then? Should I just not go?"

On the stage, the Eternal Winter God had already distributed the lifespan rewards.

Zhang Yuan said impatiently, "Why don't you give him my personal computer? We can use whatever we can to get some points. Anyway, I've already finished all my ranked matches, so it doesn't matter whether I survive or not."

"No." Jiang Qingyue shook her head.

She discovered that the situation was worse than they had anticipated. She saw several people who were about to go on stage leaving their belongings with their companions, indicating that they did not intend to bring them on stage.

It seems that even the strongest District 93 suffered a death in the last match, along with the consistently powerful Slug and Iron Lump.

The deaths of these powerful individuals will make the next battle even more worrisome; they will use every available resource and will not spare any more.

In other words, even if they obtained it, they would only have an empty quantum computer.

That's not enough at all.

Jiang Qingyue looked at Li Jianguo, who was ranked 18th. His combat power was only a few points different from Jia Fugui's before the upgrade.

Regardless of whether Jia Fugui plays or wins, they don't have the resources to support Li Jianguo, so Li Jianguo's fate is sealed.

She looked at the man, who was about the same age as her father, and said, "Uncle Li, let me see you off."

"Can I know why it's me?" Li Jianguo sighed. He had originally thought that if Jia Fugui had no hope of winning, he should give him the quantum computer.

Jiang Qingyue looked at his hands: "You're so old, yet you don't have a single callus on your hands from the apocalypse. You have a gentle demeanor, it doesn't seem like you got to where you are today on your own."

Li Jianguo remained silent. He had to admit that Jiang Qingyue had a keen eye for people and could observe them so carefully even in this kind of environment.

Jiang Qingyue explained, "The situation is worse than we anticipated, and the previous method won't work. I plan to do everything I can to boost Jia Fugui's combat power to 300,000. After that, there will be a hurdle; any further upgrades will require level four or higher crystal cores."

"What are the benefits of doing this?" Li Jianguo didn't quite understand.

"I'm not entirely sure either," Jiang Qingyue said. "I'm just guessing. If two quantum computers of the same combat power merge, their combat strength will be severely reduced."

"What if we use a more advanced optical computer to fuse them?"

"For example, what would happen if a quantum computer with a combat power of 300,000 were given to a device with only 200,000 combat power to be integrated with?"

She hadn't thought of this before, but she just discovered that when she only had 200,000 combat power, using level 4, 5, or even 6 crystal cores would increase her combat power even more.

Will the same situation occur with the fusion of optical computers?

Whether it is true or not, we are now desperate and have no choice but to try anything.

Li Jianguo remained silent. No one wants to die, but time did not allow him to dwell on it for too long.

Jiang Qingyue offered two options: "You leave your personal terminal, and I promise that everyone present, regardless of who survives, will take care of your family. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely resurrect you just like I resurrected my parents."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you, but we don't have the resources right now, so this is the only way you'll be able to play in the next round."

Li Jianguo was helpless; he was now just like everyone else, with a combat power of 200,000.

However, the number of players ranked the same in other districts was approaching 300,000. Without any special items to enhance his abilities, he wouldn't last a second and ended up handing his personal terminal to the enemy.

"So you're saying I have no choice at all? Come on, make your move cleanly. I've never suffered much in my life."

"I'm sorry," Jiang Qingyue said, "I had no choice."

Li Jianguo: "I'm not blaming you, I'm just unwilling to accept it."

He didn't say what he was unwilling to accept, but everyone knew that it was extremely rare for someone to break into the top twenty in the apocalypse, regardless of whether they had practical experience or whether it was just luck.

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves?

Who wouldn't want to see a wider world?

But now they have no chance.

Li Jianguo gave his personal computer to Jia Fugui, and Jiang Qingyue then took out the only remaining level 7 crystal core and several level 6 cores and gave them to Jia Fugui.

Now, she has no crystal cores left.

If they fail to grab the spoils, they will have to use 200,000 combat power points to fight against enemies several times stronger than themselves.

Jiang Qingyue stared intently at Jia Fugui's stats on the individual combat power ranking.

After absorbing all the crystal cores and Li Jianguo's quantum computer, Jia Fugui's combat power changed to 300001.

"call!"

Everyone in District 8 breathed a sigh of relief.

They really have nothing left now. If this still doesn't reach 300,000, then another life will have to be sacrificed to make up for it.

The main deity was already calling out from over there: "Please welcome the nineteenth-ranked player from each district..."

"Jiang Shen, shall I go?" Jia Fugui asked calmly, as if to say, "I bought a few steamed buns, do you want one?"

In reality, among the players from each region, there are certainly those with a combat power of 300,000, and even if there aren't, there are quite a few with over 290,000.

Even with the aid of special items, Jia Fugui, who was unarmed, still didn't have much of a chance of winning.

The purpose of forcibly increasing his power level to 300,000 was to give this high-combat-power quantum computer to a low-level person for fusion, hoping to produce a miraculous effect.

If Jia Fugui's personal computer is left on the stage, then Li Jianguo's death will have been in vain.

"No, I'll see you off." At the moment the suction came, Jiang Qingyue personally saw Jia Fugui off.

He held his personal terminal and remained silent for a long time.

The battle was halfway through when she finally handed the personal terminal to Meng Zixuan, who was ranked 17th.

The other party accepted it without a word and clicked "Merge".

Jiang Qingyue's gaze was fixed on Meng Zixuan's personal terminal.

Long Jiuxing, Zhao Mingyue, and the others had no interest in watching the battle on the stage, so they all crowded around.

Everyone was very much looking forward to it. In the past, they would fuse with quantum computers that were one level lower or about the same level as themselves, because no one could kill someone stronger than themselves, so they couldn't conduct experiments.

This is the first time that a stronger combat value has been used to fuse with someone of lower strength.

The data jumps around, then finally freezes.

Meng Zixuan, male, 19 years old, combat power 397000.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... thirty-nine thousand, it really is thirty-nine thousand." Jiang Qingyue counted again and again, afraid that she had misread it.

She guessed there might be an increase, but she didn't expect such a large increase, which directly boosted Meng Zixuan's combat power from 200,000 to nearly 400,000.

In other words, they simply couldn't produce a single crystal core, otherwise they could have piled up 400,000.

"Holy crap!" Meng Zixuan scratched his head. "I'm about to take off!"

He had his own weapon, a heavy sword, and Zhang Yuan also gave him the woolen slippers.

His speed, strength, and stats are all top-notch in his ranking. If he loses again, he'll be too ashamed to show his face.

"Jiang Shen, who do you want to kill?"

Looking at the battle that had ended on the arena, Jiang Qingyue uttered four words: "Leave no one alive."

"This is a bit difficult, isn't it?" Meng Zixuan said, "Taking down the ones in front won't be a problem. According to my estimate, the combat power of the troops in this battle is at most just over 300,000. I have a huge advantage in every aspect."

"The battle will end when there are only ten left, leaving only a two-second window. In those two seconds, I might have a chance to ambush and take down one or two, but killing them all is unrealistic, isn't it?"

"That's right," Wang Defa chimed in from the side. "Their people will definitely intervene; they can't just stand by and watch their own people get killed."

"Then stop them." Jiang Qingyue instructed, "Meng Zixuan is the strongest; he won't need our protection at the last moment."

"Our mission is to stop those powerful outsiders who want to intervene and save people."

"Longlong, you can handle the slug thing."

"Wang Defa, that pile of iron lumps in the Fifth District is yours."

"Liu Yuyao, you stop the sixth district."

"Nangong Zhao, I'm entrusting that pile of clouds in District 93 to you."

"..."

Nangong Zhao's lips twitched. Good heavens, he just handed over the strongest to her. He trusts her that much?

He glanced calmly at the largest cloud in front of District 93, and his heart trembled with fear.

That's impressive!

That guy's combat power might have already exceeded 500,000, or even more.

Jiang Qingyue truly thinks highly of her.

"And what about you?" she couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Qingyue: "I'll fight the stronger one."

Nangong Zhao wondered, is there anything stronger than that big, fat cloud?

How come she didn't notice?

Could it be that Jiang Qingyue possesses some special item that allows him to see through the strength of everyone present?

Then why did she need to judge everyone's strength through Zhao Mingyue before? Could it be that Jiang Qingyue was pretending to be weak while actually being strong?

This discovery delighted Nangong Zhao. It's good to have a trump card. If there's another trump card, does that mean that even if they all die, Jiang Qingyue can still live?

Humans can still survive.
