I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1098 - 1198: Our World Is Actually Upside Down

History has always been written by the victors.

Especially when it’s Jing Shu who has just earned the right to speak for the whole team.

Not to mention, now that Jing Shu has something to say, Yang Yang would figure out a way to send her to the sky if she wanted, so Yang Yang said with a welcoming smile: "Please go ahead." The esteemed VIP can speak freely.

Jing Shu said seriously: "I want to go to the sky."

Yang Yang: "?"

Everyone: "?"

Yang Yang’s mouth twitched, "Uh, well, that’s a bit difficult. How exactly do you plan to go to the sky? Or did you discover something?"

See, when it’s time to really shoot for the sky, you become reluctant.

Jing Shu silently mocked Yang Yang’s expression, then said earnestly, "I want to conduct an experiment, and I need your cooperation because I think I might have found a way out."

When Jing Shu said this, everyone became serious, and even Chu Zhuohua sat up straight.

"How do we cooperate?"

Big Yellow Teeth asked excitedly from one side: "Surely, the way out is in the sky, right? I was saying, the path outside that Zhen Nantian took might be our only exit."

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, we don’t know what’s going on right now. It’s better to wait for Jing Shu to conduct her experiment first."

The meeting didn’t even commence, it broke up right then and there, and the people from the second team started hustling around, leaving Professor Huang and his group utterly bewildered. What is even going on? Just because of a single sentence from that woman, does nothing else matter anymore?

Huang Xiaoxiao sighed in resignation, "Uncle, what should we do now?"

Professor Huang took a deep breath, feeling famished, "People need food like iron needs steel—skip a meal, and you’ll be really hungry. You go ahead and borrow some food from the second team. As it stands, we’ve already delved inside the energy, so the upcoming stuff is steady. Even if the second team finds something, in the end, they won’t be able to bypass us."

Huang Xiaoxiao blinked, "Uncle, if you want to eat something, why not just eat the slime on the ground? If you think it’s dirty, we can scoop some from the pool."

Professor Huang frowned, "How can this be edible? It’s like snot."

"Exactly, exactly, when I fell just now, I accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls. This thing is salty and sticky, just like snot, it almost made me choke to death in my throat."

"If you eat this snot, can Professor Huang eat this filthy substance? Professor Huang is already of an age; how can he eat such things? I can see the second team has plenty of resources. Let’s borrow some, and repay them tenfold later."

A group of students chattered incessantly, completely unable to accept eating the dark sticky liquid.

Huang Xiaoxiao chuckled a couple of times, casually picking up a blob of slime, stuffing it into his mouth—closing his eyes, swallowing it—and then supplementing his daily necessity, stating thereafter:

"You all just aren’t hungry enough. A single Insect Cake from the second team costs 100 contribution points, and a cup of water is 50 contribution points. If you want to borrow, go ahead. Oh, I forgot to mention, in this Eight-dimensional Space, if you don’t eat slime, you won’t be able to fall asleep. Everyone in the second team is also eating slime."

In the beginning, Huang Xiaoxiao could still borrow some food, but now, he’s skillfully eating slime already. Eating slime is so convenient; consuming those Insect Cakes costs so many contribution points, and he can’t earn that many contribution points even after one outing.

"Hiss—this is outright robbery!"

"Selling an Insect Cake for so much? We barely earn a few thousand contribution points per trip, and it’s not even enough for one meal?"

"Professor, aren’t you going to do something about it? They have so much food, being so selfish, why don’t they just share some of it?"

"Exactly, professor, you’re not at an age to consume this—"

Before the sentence was finished, Professor Huang had already nonchalantly grabbed a chunk of slime, fiercely swallowing it down, "It conveniently replenishes water and salts. Eat, eat quickly, finish eating before we discuss serious matters."

Others: "..."

Alright, since Professor Huang himself is eating it, what reason do they have not to eat it? However, Professor Huang surely is ruthless.

Professor Huang’s group quietly began to strategize, while Jing Shu’s side was fervently conducting the experiment.

Within half an hour, as per Jing Shu’s instructions, a human ladder was constructed, with Hulk and the Abdominal Foot Worms forming the base, while Xiao Ye and the Zombie People made the second layer platform. Eventually, Jing Shu managed to touch the "top" of the stomach.

And not long before, the place where Zhen Nantian had left with two others was through the huge opening that opened from here.

Jing Shu fiddled up at the top of the stomach for a while before concluding the experiment.

Everyone looked at Jing Shu with anticipation, even Chu Zhuohua asked hopefully: "How did it go? Is the exit at the very top? Can a hole be opened there? What material mainly composes that part?"

Jing Shu remained silent for a moment and shook her head: "It seems it’s as I thought—the very top is an entrance but not an exit."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Jing Shu scratched her head, unsure how to explain, when suddenly her eyes lit up. She picked up a plastic bag, filled it with some air, then sealed it, "Look at this plastic bag. Normally, when it’s tied, the knot faces upward, doesn’t it?"

Everyone nodded.

Jing Shu continued, "But in reality, it’s placed upside down. It only flips right side up and opens up when air is required. When there’s no need for air, it’s placed upside down."

Big Yellow Teeth: "???" So why didn’t he understand?

However, Yang Yang got it. He placed the plastic bag upside down, with the opening facing downwards and the completely sealed plastic bottom facing upwards, then said: "Are you saying that our current sky is actually the bottom of the stomach, the ’butt’? And the ground we’re standing on is the stomach’s entrance where food comes in? It flips when feeding?"
