Chapter 21 Let's have a hot pot

"I'm the only one here now, and staying in a double room is a waste of space. Could you please help me move to room 102? I can charge you the same rate as a double room. Also, I'd like to rent it for a month."

This is where Zhang Lei is smart.

Xia Yan smiled again, took the two second-level crystal cores he handed over, and directly deducted 930 points after recharging, leaving 1070 points on the card.

"The room rate cannot be changed. I've already moved you to room 102. Today's room fee has also been deducted. Here's the room card."

Zhang Lei nodded and took the room card. "My things are still in room 202. I need to go upstairs to pack them up first. I'll give you the room card for room 202 later."

Xia Yan called Xiong Xiong and asked him to clean up Room 102. She took out disposable soap, shampoo, and a towel from the drawer and handed them over. "There's no bathroom in the single room. You need to walk to the end and turn left to use the public bathroom to wash up."

Zhang Lei took it, thanked him and left.

Xia Yan glanced at the woman who had been standing in the hall. After thinking for so long, she wondered if she was going to buy anything or not. If not, she would go to sleep.

Xia Yan wondered whether he should ask them to go back to their room?

The woman stood motionless in the hall with a pale face. The weather was dark and gloomy. When I looked up suddenly, I thought she was doing a mission in the underworld!

At this time, the "female ghost" turned around, walked over quickly, half-leaned on the cashier, and asked anxiously, "No one is buying anything now, right? I want everything in the glass cabinet. How long can the food be kept?"

"one day."

"Only one day?! Where's this water? Can you sell it?"

"water?"

The water in the water dispenser has always been sold by the cup. I wonder if it can be sold by the barrel.

"System, can water be sold in barrels?"

[No, currently only double rooms have mineral water, up to 4 bottles per room per day]

After getting the system's answer, Xia Yan shook his head at her.

"Sorry, if you have a cup, you can buy water by the cup size. We can't sell it in buckets at the moment."

She stood up, took out a plastic bag, and put the remaining clothes and supplies in the glass cabinet into it.

"Want some laundry detergent too?"

"want."

"Okay, that's 79 points total. Please swipe your card."

The woman returned to the room with a bag full of goods. After a while, she came out again and walked straight to the lunch machine. She chose three servings of cumin duck leg fried rice and went back to eat.

After a busy morning, the hall finally became quiet again.

Xia Yan asked Xiong Xiong to set up the chairs and the small round table, and she ordered a small hot pot from the food city.

About a minute later, a small pot with red oil floating on it appeared on the table, and small plates of vegetables and meat were gradually placed around it.

Green bamboo shoots, baby cabbage, sweet potato and lotus root slices, a small plate of crystal noodles, beef tripe, tripe sheets, shrimp paste, beef slices, lamb slices, and even a complimentary cup of sour plum soup.

This "Long Live Singles" hotpot meal cost her a total of 70 points.

Plug in the small pot, bubbles begin to appear at the bottom of the pot, and the spicy and fragrant aroma wafts through the hall.

After the pot boils, Xia Yan puts the meat into the pot first.

Xiong Xiong was very considerate and opened the door a crack, allowing the smell to float out through the crack.

Xia Yan scooped up a shrimp ball with a spoon, dipped it in the sauce and took a bite.

Tsk, so tender, smooth and tasty.

People who like to eat should eat the meat first and the vegetables last.

I picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce and put it into my mouth. Wow, it was so satisfying.

Zhang Lei happened to see this scene when he came to deliver the door card and swallowed his saliva.

Eating hot pot?

There are also dishes? ! ! !

He took a deep sniff and felt the hot pot spirit deep in his soul being drawn out.

Strange, why can't I smell anything in the hallway?

Zhang Lei didn't dare to stay for long, for fear that Xia Yan would feel that his presence disturbed their meal.

So I put down the door card and left.

He kept taking deep breaths with his back to Xia Yan's mouth and nose.

Take a sniff, it smells good, it really smells good!

But soon, when he walked into the corridor, he not only could no longer smell the smell of hot pot, but his desire for hot pot also faded.

Zhang Lei touched his stomach. He felt very hungry just now, but now he didn't feel anything at all.

Xia Yan just looked up when Zhang Lei appeared and continued eating.

Anyway, the things she bought from the food city are only for her to eat, and there is also a tricky game mechanism.

The smell of food can be smelled within a range of 2-5 meters, but after 5 meters not only can the smell not be detected but the desire for it will also fade.

If someone intends to steal food, as long as he gets within two meters of Xia Yan, he will not only not be able to see or smell the food, but will also forget his original purpose.

Then I walked back, and two meters away, I smelled it again, and within two meters, I forgot it again...

This cycle continues until the person no longer has the urge to snatch the food, or Xia Yan finishes eating.

It is also specially marked: This game rule is supreme and takes precedence over all other supernatural powers or means. This food city strives to protect the rights of consumers, please enjoy your consumption.

So Xia Yan had no burden on eating, and even if she traveled to another base in the future, she would not have to worry about food and drink.

After eating and drinking, she poured the remaining sour plum soup into a paper cup, and the pots, plates and other items were recycled by the food city.

Xia Yan felt warm all over. She went back to her room, changed into thicker clothes, put on long rain boots, picked up an umbrella, and prepared to stroll along the street.

She remembered there was a park to the west and went to see it.

Xia Yan asked Xiongxiong to watch the store door while he opened his umbrella and walked into the rain.

The entire sky was grayish white. The rain had subsided from yesterday's heavy downpour, but it was still cloudy and rainy. Puddles formed in the lower parts of the streets, and water kept flowing down the eaves to the ground.

Xia Yan walked forward along the high ground.

The whole city is desolate. This is the world after the disappearance of humans.

In fact, in this area, apart from her hotel which is still in operation and has living people, I'm afraid there are no other humans?

Xia Yan walked quietly in the rain.

From a distance, it looks like a faded watercolor painting.

As you go west along the street, the number of trees on both sides of the road gradually increases.

The temperature was high and there was little rainfall a few days ago, so the leaves were dry and yellow due to lack of water, and the small bushes next to the roots of the trees died directly.

After the apocalypse, plants were also attacked by a special virus, and the originally straight tree trunks suddenly began to twist and tangle.

If you look closely, you can see that where two adjacent trees are entangled, there are long strips like needle tips inserted into each other, desperately trying to snatch nutrients.

Between two trees, one must die.

Xia Yan turned another street and noticed a relatively large supermarket across the street.

She was eager to go in and take a look.

The last thing you need around the supermarket is zombies, but on rainy days the zombies are absolutely stunned——

He just stood there facing the rain, letting it hit his face, and didn't respond to any sounds around him.

Some people with lower levels of superpowers would risk catching a cold on rainy days to go out and kill zombies and accumulate crystal cores.

But Xia Yan didn't want to pick up a crystal core from the dirty and sticky brain.

There's nothing we can do about it. She has so many resources and the ability to be so pretentious.
