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

After the three of them came down, Miao Xiu quickly took out all the spoils of their battle.

The most looted items were quantum computers, thirteen in total. They also managed to grab three special items, but unfortunately, they were all close to being unusable.

"Weapons are so rare," Chen Sanyang remarked.

Ordinary weapons are useless in everyone's hands; what's useful are special items, and special items are extremely scarce.

Especially for combat and defensive items, unless you ambush the enemy and kill them in one move, you might not be able to get them intact. Otherwise, by the time you get them back, they're usually all broken.

The materials are there, but they don't know how to fix them.

"Jiang Shen, I have one here." Meng Zixuan dragged over a large bag. He had obtained the most spoils of war in history, and it was only now that he had sorted them out. There were a total of ninety-nine quantum computers, plus a huge pile of various weapons.

However, most of them were scrapped.

There was a curved sword, which was still usable.

"Agh!" A sudden, piercing scream rang out.

Jiang Qingyue and the others quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

Someone died.

The one who died was the leader of District 41, the one who, along with Big Fat Cloud, wanted to wipe out the human race. He's been killed.

"It was the First District that did it." Wang Defa gasped. "I just turned my head and blinked, and in that instant, I was killed."

Jiang Qingyue and the others quickly looked at the leader of the first district. He had light golden hair and ice-blue eyes, and was so handsome that he was almost inhuman. He calmly merged with the quantum computer of the leader of the forty-first district and threw the corpse to his subordinates as a snack.

"He's a formidable rival, you need to be careful," Liu Yuyao warned.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiang Qingyue will be fighting these leaders in the final round.

With such a ruthless person around, Jiang Qingyue is in big trouble.

Especially since the leader of District 1 was already very strong, and now he has also killed the leader of District 41, the growth after the integration of the quantum computers is probably quite significant.

Jiang Qingyue sighed: "What I'm afraid of now is not the final battle, but being ambushed."

She seems to have set a very bad precedent for everyone.

Originally, everyone's attention was on the arena. But ever since she killed the leader of District 40, that giant crab, everyone knew that the God of Struggle below the arena wouldn't care.

So everyone started following the trend.

The giant crab is a great tonic for them, and the human race is also a great tonic for the other major regions.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Qingyue felt a chill on her neck.

Zhao Mingyue and Long Jiuxing stood on either side of Jiang Qingyue, gripping their weapons tightly and scanning their surroundings, afraid of being attacked.

Nangong Zhao and Liu Yuyao were just as nervous as they were.

They weren't too worried about their own safety, after all, they hadn't yet chosen to integrate with the quantum computer, and their combat power was around 200,000. For those powerful individuals, killing them wouldn't be worthwhile at all.

Two hundred thousand combat power points, if they are fused together, they may only increase by two points, and if they are fused with the weakest subordinate, they will only increase by two thousand.

Therefore, launching a sneak attack would only result in facing Jiang Qingyue's counterattack, which is not worthwhile at all.

But Jiang Qingyue is different. Her own combat strength is extremely high, and all the leaders who merged with her experienced a significant increase in their strength.

The key is that Jiang Qingyue, as the leader of the Eighth District, has his own space, which contains many treasures.

Therefore, for everyone, Jiang Qingyue is the most deserving of being killed.

"Your nervousness is useless." Jiang Qingyue took out the warning device and looked at it; it was red to the point of being black.

She handed the compass to Nangong Zhao. To be honest, this thing was somewhat useless; it could only provide early warnings.

But now that everyone knows it's dangerous, do we still need it for early warning?

"Why are you giving this to me?" Nangong Zhao looked at the little gadget in his hand.

Jiang Qingyue said, "Take it, it's better than nothing. Let me know when the red color turns completely black or the danger level drops."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue looked at the pile of quantum computers in front of her. Some of them were brought by Meng Zixuan, and some were brought down by Miao Xiu, totaling one hundred and twelve.

There are many quantum computers, and there are a total of fourteen people, including Kuang Shuang, who did not participate.

Jiang Qingyue herself is not included; her current strength is already quite high. If she were to fuse with a quantum computer of this level, it would only increase her strength by two or three points, which wouldn't be of much use.

In other words, the remaining thirteen people can share one hundred and twelve quantum computers.

Of course, the later the stage, the higher the required combat strength, so it's impossible to divide it equally.

Kuang Shuang and Jiang Qingtian's combat power has reached 420,000.

Jiang Qingyue sorted through the quantum computers, found the twenty weakest ones, gave ten to each of them, and let them merge.

After the fusion, Kuang Shuang's combat power reached 458300.

Jiang Qingtian's is slightly stronger, 459600.

She handed the scimitar to Kuang Shuang.

The voice of the Supreme God has already sounded: "Please welcome the 14th ranked person from each district to the stage."

When Jiang Qingyue got up, she saw a crab staring fiercely at Kuang Shuang from the 40th district.

This startled her, and she quickly grabbed a handful of Plant Doctor Essence and stuffed it into Kuang's hands: "Watch out for that crab."

Before Kuang Shuang could answer, she was already sucked onto the arena.

As soon as she went up, she was surrounded.

The one leading the pack is that big crab from District 40.

"What's going on?" Wang Defa and the others didn't expect that with only a few crabs left in District 40, and Jiang Qingyue becoming so strong, they would actually dare to be enemies with the human race.

"We'll try anything, even if it's a dead end." Jiang Qingyue saw the large crab that only attacked and didn't defend, and instantly understood.

The opposing leader is dead. Many of their crabs had already died, and now only a dozen or so remain.

Even if a few of these dozen or so crabs manage to survive in a competition with similar rankings, they will still die in the second round.

In the second round of the competition, the main god will eliminate the experimental zone that ranks last.

Based on the current situation, the most dangerous areas are actually areas 40 and 41, because the leaders of these two experimental areas are dead.

Without a strong leader, the second round will be even more difficult for them than for the humans.

But none of them wanted their territory to be wiped out, so the crabs fought back.

We must rebuild our strength in the remaining dozen or so battles of the first round. We don't need to be the strongest, but we must at least avoid being at the bottom in the second round and be stronger than Area 41.

Not only did she understand, but the others also looked at the crab with sympathy after a moment's thought, but only for a second before withdrawing their sympathy.

Let alone the fact that the crab-like appearance of the other side makes them naturally regard District 40 as seafood, even those humanoids, or even creatures that look exactly like humans, would not act like saints under such circumstances.

"Jiang Shen," Chen Sanyang said, "So, does that mean we just need to play it safe and develop our strength? Judging from the current situation, by the second round, the last place will be either the 40th or 41st district. Even if we rank third from the bottom, we won't be eliminated."

Theoretically speaking, Chen Sanyang's thinking was indeed correct.

But the reality is: those who strive not to be eliminated are always the weak.

Initially, the weakest of the hundred experimental zones were the humans, so they suffered the most. Because they didn't try to find a solution, they were definitely ranked last.

The situation has changed now. The experimental zones 40 and 41 are now most likely to rank last, so these two races will suffer the most.

But this is only what the weak pursue; the strong are different.

Jiang Qingyue's gaze unexpectedly met that big, fat cloud.

The other person's gaze was naked and direct, as if to say: You're delicious too.

There was also the giant robot in Experiment Zone 5, whose gaze seemed to say to Jiang Qingyue: You are mine.

He calmly withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Qingyue knew that only a few weak experimental zones were trying to avoid being wiped out, while the goal of these strong individuals was to eliminate some of their experimental zone's enemies in this battle and then strengthen themselves.

Every time a battle ended and the protective barriers around the arena disappeared, a strong smell of blood would waft out, and Jiang Qingyue noticed that many races were sniffing it with fascination.

Perhaps the smell of human blood is perceived by them as sweet, just as the smell of peach juice is to humans.

Jiang Qingyue didn't know if other regions knew about this, but smelling such a sweet aroma, it wouldn't be too much to take a bite, right?

Besides, she can't contact the officials in the Eighth District right now, but Jiang Qingyue doesn't know about the officials in other districts. What if they haven't lost contact?

Did they spread the news of the human race's great tonic back to their respective regions?

Jiang Qingyue felt that this was very likely.

Because they actually had no grudge against those clouds in District 93, but from the beginning those guys seemed to be targeting humans specifically to kill.

At first, Jiang Qingyue thought the other party was just picking on the weak.

Later she discovered that even though humans were no longer easy targets, the clouds still targeted and killed them.

Jiang Qingyue rubbed the personal terminal on her wrist. Even though she tried her best to hide it, her heart was still beating faster than normal.

She suddenly noticed something she had overlooked: the big, fat cloud had been staring at her neck, perhaps not only at her personal computer and combat power, nor just at the essence of the plant doctor.

It was the human corpses in her spatial backpack.

"Sister Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"

Faced with Long Jiuxing's concerned gaze, Jiang Qingyue silently shook her head and continued to distribute the quantum computer in her hand.

It seems that the crabs have reached some kind of agreement with people in several regions to jointly target the human race.

I originally thought that 420,000 combat power points would be enough, but now it seems that it is not safe enough. Even Jiang Qingtian's nearly 460,000 combat power points are not safe enough.

Jiang Qingyue specially picked out a personal computer with a spatial function for Jiang Qingtian: "Melt it."

After Jiang Qingtian integrated the quantum computer, she opened her spatial backpack. Unfortunately, she wasn't lucky; there were no crystal cores inside, only a little over two million trading coins and some food.

Jiang Qingyue searched through the remaining quantum computers and found that three of them had spatial storage capabilities.

He simply asked, "Is there anyone else who doesn't have space?"

"Me!" Chen Sanyang raised his hand high, afraid that if he was too slow, he wouldn't get a share.

"I don't have any either," Yan Kexin said.

Yang Qingqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have any either."

Not enough to go around.

Jiang Qingyue remembered that Liu Yuyao and Zhao Mingyue had also taken out crystal cores from their large backpacks and handed them to her, which meant that neither of them had any.

Jiang Qingyue looked at everyone's rankings: "Let's start with those who are about to go on stage."

Everyone nodded, and no one had any objections.

The space backpack is only useful in normal times. Right now, I just want to check if there are any crystal cores or similar items inside to increase my combat power.

Besides, if we can get back alive today, we'll get a lot of quantum computers, and everyone will have some.

If we can't get back alive, there's no point in keeping it.

Jiang Qingyue opened the individual combat power ranking.

After merging with the giant crab's quantum computer, she has been busy fighting and has not yet checked her combat power.

She's definitely number one. Even though she was similar to Nangong Zhao before, now that they've merged, she's undoubtedly number one in the Eighth District.

However, her overall index is only slightly over 500,000, and the overall index does not represent individual combat strength.

The comprehensive index is a value jointly evaluated by combining individual combat power, survival index, and new power ranking.

Jiang Qingyue believed that her combat strength should be higher than her overall index, because her current situation was not good.

In other words, in the system's assessment, her current survival index is extremely low. This extremely low survival index will lower her overall evaluation, making her overall index appear very low.

Even with the survival index lowered, her overall evaluation is still over 500,000, so her combat power must be very high.

As to how high it was exactly, Jiang Qingyue guessed it should be over 600,000, because in her perception, there was a big gap between her and Jiang Qingtian, who currently had over 400,000.

Therefore, she should have a minimum combat power of 600,000.

Other characters who have undergone significant changes have already been in the arena. However, once they enter this area, their rankings are fixed and they are fought according to their initial rankings. Therefore, changes in combat power will not affect their previous rankings.

Currently, there are only thirteen players in the eighth division who have not yet played.

Individual combat power rankings:

First place: Jiang Qingyue, female, 27 years old, combat power 680000

Second place: Nangong Zhao, female, 32 years old, combat power 200000

Third place: Long Jiuxing, female, 18 years old, combat power 399600

Fourth place: Zhao Mingyue, female, 18 years old, combat power 200000

Fifth place: Liu Yuyao, female, 45 years old, combat power 200000

Sixth place: Chen Tangtang, female, 23 years old, combat power 200000

Seventh place: Huang Yali, female, 31 years old, combat power 200000

8th Place: Yang Qingqing, female, 19 years old, combat power 200000

Ninth place: Shen Yi, male, 30 years old, combat power 200000

10th Place: Yan Kexin, female, 14 years old, combat power 200000

Eleventh place: Chen Sanyang, male, 39 years old, combat power 200000

12th Place: Wang Defa, male, 33 years old, combat power 200000

Thirteenth: Jiang Qingtian, female, 24 years old, combat power 463500

Apart from Jiang Qingtian, who is about to take the stage, Jiang Qingyue, who has fused with the giant crab's optical brain, and Long Jiuxing, who has fused with the optical brain of a small crab, the combat power of the rest of them is all stuck at 200,000.

Once everyone entered, their rankings were fixed. Otherwise, based on their current combat power, Jiang Qingtian should be ranked second.

Wang Defa hadn't said anything earlier, so he must have a spatial backpack. Jiang Qingyue bypassed him and handed Chen Sanyang a quantum computer with a spatial backpack.

The second one was given to Yan Kexin.

Shen Yi didn't say anything just now, which probably means he did.

Finally, Jiang Qingyue gave the last one to Yang Qingqing, who was one place behind Shen Yi in line.

After the three of them merged with the quantum computer, they all opened their spatial backpacks and took out everything inside.

Many of them were unfamiliar to them, so they handed them over to their personal computer assistants for identification.

Jiang Qingyue said helplessly, "We still don't have a single crystal core. It seems that no one is confident. We've used up all the crystal cores, regardless of their level."

The most abundant item in the space is trading currency; the total trading currency in the three spaces is 13.1 million.

Jiang Qingyue gathered everything into her own space. Upgrading the quantum computer would bring rewards. She didn't know if she could exploit the bug this time, but even if she failed, it would still count as one reward, and she would at least get a special item.
