Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng took Aita and left the room.

Since the two wanted to leave the ship, waiting in the room was not a solution. Since they had no clue, they could only try to find a breakthrough point on the ship under the pretext of wandering around.

But Chu Xiao himself knew that this action would most likely fail, but it was better than staying where he was and doing nothing.

He and Ruan Mengmeng have basically visited all the facilities in the B authority area in recent days. Although after crossing that line, this kind of "strolling" has a sweet feeling like a honeymoon, but without Anna, the lively and lovely young lady, around, it seems like something is missing.

"I can't believe it. When she was here, people only felt that the girl was noisy. Now that she's gone, it feels a bit deserted."

"I don't know when we will meet next time." Ruan Mengmeng said softly while holding Chu Xiao's arm, with a slight regret. Then, she couldn't help but think of the other companions who were not around, "I don't know how Sister Yan and the others are doing now. So many days have passed..."

Because there was a clear deadline hanging over his head, Chu Xiao was not as relaxed as before. In two days, he would perform the ceremony and Shikoti would also start the action. Regardless of success or failure, these two days should be his last peaceful days on this ship.

As the two of them talked, they unknowingly approached the luxurious casino on the ship.

They have visited various facilities in the B-level authority area these days, but they have not entered this casino yet. Chu Xiao always feels that this facility is a little different from other things, and there is an unusual smell in it from beginning to end. After all, this casino is the only place that can be entered regardless of the level of authority.

"Brother Xiao, do you care a lot?" Ruan Mengmeng noticed Chu Xiao's gaze.

"Mengmeng, do you want to go in and take a look?" Chu Xiao said, "Just think of it as a way to broaden your horizons."

After that, Chu Xiao led the two girls beside him to the door of the casino, and was greeted by the beautiful bunny girl standing at the door. The other party had a sweet smile, was wearing extremely revealing clothes, and the huge hemisphere formed a huge presence, which made Miss Ruan snort unhappily.

Just at this time, from the direction of the low-level area, a mysterious middle-aged man also walked into the casino. Chu Xiao couldn't help but take a closer look at this man. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and should be an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere, but there was a hint of almost fanatical persistence in his eyes.

It wasn't just this person. When they entered the casino, all the men and women they saw, regardless of their level of authority, all had a similar enthusiasm. The man who entered the door at the same time quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared - it was obvious that he was a regular here.

The casino was a huge space, much larger than any facility Chu Xiao had seen on the ship, and the number of people there was greater than any facility he had seen before. All kinds of tools, both seen and not seen before, were placed in this space, and almost every facility was crowded with people.

Scantily clad waitresses carried drinks and walked among the crowd, and handsome dealers distributed cards in the game. Among the crowd were gamblers who were overwhelmed with excitement, and gentlemen who were spending money lavishly with beauties in their arms. Countless people mixed together, forming a scene of decadence and extravagance.

The air is filled with the smell of desire.

Chu Xiao felt acutely uncomfortable, as if something invisible and intangible was flowing throughout the hall. He couldn't help but look up at the dome of the hall.

There is a huge mural on the dome with religious themes, but it fails to make this place look sacred.

"Sir, you and your female companion have a B level of authority, so you can get a certain amount of chips for free and go directly to the VIP area to play." A beautiful staff member was responsible for receiving Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng. Chu Xiao confirmed that this woman was not a man-made person, because her eyes, like everyone else here, clearly flashed with "desire".

"I'm curious." Chu Xiao didn't rush to collect the chips, but asked the woman in front of him, "Since people with authority B can spend all kinds of money on the ship for free, then what can I get even if I participate in this game? Contribution points are meaningless to me."

The staff member smiled and explained, "Sir, you can get everything here. Even VIPs with authority B have things they want but can't get, right? For example, any beauty you see in the casino, or higher authority."

"What do you mean?" The way the other party looked at Eta made Chu Xiao very unhappy, but he did not show it immediately.

"Literally," the staff member smiled unchanged, but in Chu Xiao's eyes, she was like a devil tempting people to fall. "Here, as long as you get enough chips, you can get everything you want, whether it's a beautiful and sexy enchanting beauty, or a higher level of status and authority. Yes, just as you think, everything can be put on the gambling table here, including the 'level of authority'."

Chapter 72 Darkness

Chu Xiao had to admit that if one wanted to stay on the Nibelungen for a long time, this kind of gamble would indeed be tempting.

If it was true as the staff in front of him said, even high-level permissions could be obtained at the gambling table, then it would indeed attract many people to do anything. Although he didn't know what kind of life the low-level permissions lived on this ship, the life of high-level permissions was definitely full of temptation for them.

Even if they were "nobles" with B-level authority, wouldn't they want to take it to the next level in this "city-state" on the sea? Level B and above basically meant that they could stand at the management level of the ship and truly begin to touch the authority of the Nibelungen.

As far as Chu Xiao knows, it is actually extremely difficult to upgrade the level of authority through normal channels, so the casino provides those who are eager to climb up with a possibility of achieving success overnight.

Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng used the chips they received as gifts and started to wander around the casino. As if she already knew that Chu Xiao's identity was special, the beautiful staff member followed Chu Xiao respectfully and politely introduced the specific rules of various games to him.

Before entering the casino, although Chu Xiao had already determined that the cult was a strange and evil organization, the maritime city-state established by Sir Lobelin was indeed full of civilization and order. Even though this civilization and order were established with clear barriers and high pressure, in the post-apocalyptic world, it was indeed a safe corner.

But now, Chu Xiao knew that all the dark and negative existences on the ship were concentrated in this casino. It was like a large vent, allowing the passengers on the ship to constantly vent the dark side of humanity.

In the corner of the casino, Chu Xiao saw some scantily clad women, wearing heavy makeup and posing coquettishly. From time to time, gamblers who had earned chips would go over to talk to them, then hug a woman and walk to a dark corner, or go directly to the guest rooms upstairs.

Obviously, these women are all from special professions. Chu Xiao can be sure that these people are not androids like Etta. Although they can be barely called beautiful, they are more than one level lower than the androids on the ship in terms of appearance and figure. There are also many android waiters with exquisite looks in the casino. As long as there are enough chips, these extremely beautiful women can naturally be taken away, but there are not many customers who can afford such chips. Therefore, these special professionals are not without customers. After all, they are cheap.

One or two women saw Chu Xiao wandering around and wanted to come over to earn some chips, but after seeing Ruan Mengmeng and Aita beside Chu Xiao, they all retreated tactfully. Ruan Mengmeng was already an extremely outstanding young beauty, and Aita was the latest generation of artificial maids, and her appearance was one of the best even among the same kind on the ship.

"Are these people... casino staff?" Chu Xiao asked the staff beside him. He saw a scantily clad woman being held in the arms of a man. The man stuffed a chip directly into the ravine on the woman's chest. Then, the woman happily nestled into the man's arms and took the initiative to take him to an empty corner.

"Of course not." The staff member said with a smile, "They are also guests on the ship. They just chose to earn chips in this way."

"Just to get bargaining chips, is it worth it?" Chu Xiao couldn't understand. Although he hadn't really been to the low-authority area yet, based on what he had learned in the past few days, the low-authority area was not as dire as he had imagined, and it was completely incomparable to the hell on earth he had seen on the shore.

The staff member smiled and replied, "Why not? Even before the Day of the Manifestation, when the world had not yet become what it is now, this kind of thing was very common."

Chu Xiao was speechless. He looked at the people gathered in front of the facilities, touched the chips in his hand, and felt a little irritated for some reason.

Chu Xiao didn't think he was a good person, nor did he have moral cleanliness, nor did he have any interest in interfering with other people's choices. He was irritated by another aspect, another inexplicable feeling.

At this time, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. The other person was wearing a white coat, with a charming figure, but underneath the white coat was an extremely revealing low-cut dress, and on her legs were sexy black stockings, which formed a great contrast.

"Doctor Heidi?" Chu Xiao didn't expect to meet this coquettish woman in the casino. She seemed to be here for fun, and she was quite an expert. She was holding a large number of chips in her hand, and she was leisurely moving between the gambling tables.

When Chu Xiao discovered Heidi, the other person's eyes happened to meet Chu Xiao's.

She smiled seductively and walked towards Chu Xiao and his group.

"What a coincidence, you brought your girls here to have fun." Dr. Heidi crossed her arms and deliberately showed an amazing curve in front of Chu Xiao.

Ruan Mengmeng immediately showed an unhappy and vigilant expression, not only because Dr. Heidi was clearly trying to seduce her man, but also because this woman even dared to covet her, Miss Ruan.

Chu Xiao gently stroked his girl's back: "After all, I haven't been here for so long since I got on board, so I thought I'd come here to broaden my horizons."

"Do you want to learn something new?" Dr. Heidi came very close, so close that Chu Xiao could smell the seductive perfume on her body. "You would rather come to a place like this than come to my infirmary to see me?"

The woman showed a charming look, sighed deliberately and said: "I have been lying on the bed in the infirmary, waiting for you for several days. As expected, an old woman like me can never compare to a young and beautiful girl."

Dr. Heidi is certainly not old. She is a mature beauty, just like a ripe fruit, which seems to be full of sweet juice with just a light bite.

Chu Xiao secretly called her "fairy" and raised the alarm in his mind.

Doctor Heidi waved to the staff around Chu Xiao, indicating that she could leave. Doctor Heidi's status was not low, and she bowed to Chu Xiao obediently and said goodbye, and soon disappeared among the crowd.

"It's rare for us to meet, so let me take you to see something interesting." Dr. Heidi came up and hugged Chu Xiao's arm, burying his arm in the deep valley of her chest.

Chu Xiao felt his arm sinking into the softness of cotton candy, and his whole body shuddered. He wanted to pull his arm out, but Dr. Heidi was very strong, and Chu Xiao was unable to pull his arm out immediately.

Ruan Mengmeng was like a cat whose territory had been invaded, her fur standing on end. She stared at Dr. Heidi fiercely, resisting the urge to attack her - Dr. Heidi's status on the ship was obviously not low, and there was no need to tear each other apart over such a thing.

(ps: This was written in a hurry, so if there are any typos, please post them in the thread if you find any. This is a bit bad...)

Chapter 73: End of the Road

Chu Xiao is in an enviable state of being surrounded by women on both sides. On one side is a young and beautiful girl, on the other side is a mature and attractive lady with a graceful figure, and behind him is a maid with an extremely delicate appearance.

However, Chu Xiao was not distracted at all, but instead had a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end.

After boarding the ship, he didn't have much contact with Dr. Heidi, and his impression of this woman was still "slutty" and "torturer". She should have a considerable status in the cult, which can be seen from her attitude when talking to Shikoti.

Chu Xiao didn't dare to easily believe the "dissoluteness" shown by Dr. Heidi. None of these crazy people in the cult were easy to deal with. God knows what kind of terrible person Dr. Heidi is under the mask of flirtatiousness. He didn't think that Dr. Heidi's enthusiasm for him was out of "like" or something like that. The way this woman looked at him was obviously closer to the eyes of a beast seeing its prey, as if Chu Xiao would be eaten up by this woman if he was not careful.

There was a strong scent of perfume coming from her body, which seemed to be able to stir the fire in people's hearts, but Chu Xiao seemed to smell an undisguised smell of blood in the fragrance.

Ruan Mengmeng showed strong hostility without hiding it. She held Chu Xiao's arm and stared at Dr. Heidi on the other side. To be precise, the girl's hostility was more focused on the snow-white mountains that were squeezed and deformed in Dr. Heidi's white coat.

"Two lumps of excess fat." The girl muttered softly and squeezed Chu Xiao's arm hard against her chest.

Chu Xiao didn't dare to remind his girl that she was using too much force and his arm was hurting.

Ruan Mengmeng's straightforward little hostility caught Dr. Heidi's eyes, only earning her a scornful smile. She deliberately straightened her chest, and the large area of ​​exposed whiteness rippled with dizzying waves as she moved.

"Are you a frequent visitor here?" Chu Xiao asked Dr. Heidi. He had to quickly find some topics to divert their attention in order to get out of this embarrassing situation.

"When I'm bored, I'll come here and play a few games," said Dr. Heidi. "After all, other places are so boring that I can't get excited."

Dr. Heidi is not only a frequent visitor here, but also a master in the casino. She can easily turn around a few gambling tables and her chips will multiply several times. However, even so, Dr. Heidi still looks unmotivated.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Dr. Heidi invited. "If necessary, I can give you some chips."

Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng had little interest in this kind of activity, and even though they had chips in their hands, they had no intention of betting. However, Chu Xiao looked at Aita who was quietly following behind him, and suddenly stuffed the chips given by the casino into Aita's hands.

"Eta, you try it." Chu Xiao pointed to a nearby gambling table and said to Eta, "Come back after you lose."

Aita looked at the chips in his hand with his usual confused look - Chu Xiao found that he really liked seeing Aita with such an expression, as if he had discovered a new world.

The maid naturally would not refuse the order from her master. She took the chips to the nearby gambling table. The game played on this gambling table was a game called "Sic Bo", which is simply "betting on the size", which can often be seen in movies. The rules are not complicated, just bet on the size.

The appearance of a beautiful maid near the gambling table naturally attracted the attention of the gamblers, but these people all knew who they could touch and who they could not touch on the ship, and they didn't even dare to look at Eta for another second.

The maid had good luck and won three times in a row. The chips in her hand not only did not decrease, but increased instead, making the gamblers around her jealous.

Aita looked at the increasing number of chips in her hand, and the confusion on her face became more intense. Her master's order to her was to lose all the chips before returning, but now she had more chips.

So, Etta visited several gambling tables in succession. Perhaps the maid was really lucky. Judging from her actions, she was obviously a complete novice in this area, but the chips in her hand kept increasing, so that soon a group of gamblers followed Etta's side and bet behind her.

Chu Xiao's jaw almost dropped as he looked at the chips in Etta's hand that were gradually piling up into a small mountain.

"Your maid is really lucky." Even Dr. Heidi, a veteran, couldn't help but sigh, "Do androids also have the aura of a novice?"

Ruan Mengmeng seemed very excited and cheered behind Eta. Although she did not like gambling, she liked those old gambling movies very much - because she thought they were very cool, she even specially learned the technique of flying cards.

"Master..." Eta looked at Chu Xiao with an innocent face, holding the chips he won.

Chu Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​letting Aita lose everything: "Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now."

He asked Dr. Heidi: "These chips...what can Eta exchange for?"

Heidi was a little surprised. Before answering Chu Xiao's question, she said to Etta, "It seems you are lucky to have met a good master."

Then, she looked at Chu Xiao and said, "Your little maid has earned a lot of chips. Contribution points are meaningless to you, but you can exchange them for some good things. I'll take you there later. Now let me take you to see something more exciting."

After that, Dr. Heidi held Chu Xiao's arm and came to the elevator of the casino. When the security guard in front of the elevator door saw Dr. Heidi, he did not step forward to ask or stop them. He took the initiative to open the elevator door and welcome several people in.

When the staff introduced Chu Xiao, they mentioned the existence of the VIP area. Chu Xiao and others, as owners of B-level permissions or above, can directly enter the VIP area. What Chu Xiao didn't expect was that the VIP area was not on the upper floor, but on the lower floor.

In Chu Xiao's imagination, the VIP area was nothing more than a more luxurious venue, prettier service staff, more attentive service, and perhaps a separate box with a more stylish environment. But when the elevator stopped and slowly opened to both sides, the huge and noisy voices almost exploded Chu Xiao's eardrums.

The VIP area was just as Chu Xiao had imagined, with luxurious decorations and all kinds of scantily clad beauties walking among the crowd, but the situation here was obviously even more...unbearable to the eyes. Chu Xiao even saw several couples making love in public.

And that’s not all, a huge human voice came from the center of the area.

The structure of the central area reminded Chu Xiao of the ancient Roman Colosseum. The audience on the platform looked toward the center of the venue and shouted wildly, some swore, some screamed, and some shouted excitedly, as if they wanted to completely vent their bestial emotions!

Chu Xiao smelled a strong smell of blood, which immediately reminded him of the days when he was escaping on the shore.

Under the guidance of Dr. Heidi, they came to the audience area, and Chu Xiao finally saw the source of the bloody smell.

It was an arena covered by a metal cage, and the people fighting on the arena were actually humans and zombies!

"what is this!"

"This is the end of someone who has lost everything." Dr. Heidi took a glass of red wine from the waiter and raised her glass slightly to Chu Xiao, "Why don't you try to place a bet? Bet on whether he lives or dies."

Chapter 74: Shocking Change

Chu Xiao found that he had seen the man on the ring before. He was the one he met at the gate when he entered the casino. At this moment, he was locked in the same cage with the zombies, dodging desperately and screaming in fear.

The audience sitting in the stands shouted enthusiastically. Some young and timid female audience members couldn't help but cover their eyes and scream when they saw such a scene, but more of the audience members still appreciated this cruel performance. Some people shouted for him to die quickly, and some people insulted him and asked him to stand up and kill the zombies so that they could make a fortune by surprise.

Chu Xiao stood on the high platform, looking coldly at the scene happening on the ring. The young man was used to the cruel scenes and had a very good understanding of the human nature in the doomsday world. He had seen noble martyrs and also encountered cruel and despicable people, so he would not despair of human nature, but at the same time he would not have too high expectations.

Ruan Mengmeng looked at the cruel escape scene below with a grim face. Having fully understood the power of zombies, she didn't think that an unarmed man could survive the attack of zombies.

"It's really disgusting." The girl looked at the well-dressed spectators in the stands and felt that they were a group of filthy beasts. "Is this funny?"

"Is this a bad show?" Chu Xiao felt a little uncomfortable knowing that the man he had just met would soon become zombies' food.

"Do you think we forced him to get into that cage?" Dr. Heidi shook her finger gracefully. "This is a voluntary game. No one forced him. He voluntarily went in and fought the zombies."

"Why did he do this?" Ruan Mengmeng asked. She couldn't believe that someone would make such a stupid choice.

"The people in the stands are guests of the casino. They are betting on victory or death in the ring," Dr. Heidi pointed to the ring in the center, "and the man in the cage is also betting. He has lost all his chips in the casino. With nothing left, he chooses to put his last chip - his life - on the gambling table. If he wins this life-and-death fight, he can immediately turn things around and get back everything he lost. If he loses..."

Dr. Heidi shrugged and took a sip of the red wine in the goblet: "...Then it will become a challenge for others."

That's why she said that it was "the end of the road for those who have lost everything."

"Stupid guy." Chu Xiao couldn't find a suitable evaluation and could only say "stupid" dryly.
