I Opened a Restaurant in the Apocalypse, and the Kid Next Door Cried from Craving

Chapter 143 Izumi

Upon hearing the system's words, Ruan Tian was momentarily surprised, and she instinctively asked a follow-up question:

"What? System, do you know what you're saying? I'm still an NPC?"

Back when Ruan Tian was still in the game, she was a genuine NPC.

But who would have thought that even after she had transmigrated, she would still be an NPC?

At this moment, Ruan Tian had many questions and doubts in her heart, and she really wanted to ask the system for clarification right now.

But at the same time, she was also very scared, afraid that if she asked such a question, the system would crash again.

So even though she didn't hear a reply from the system, Ruan Tian didn't press the matter further. She simply kept her mouth shut and said nothing more.

The system, presumably having touched upon some taboo issue, also fell silent.

Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became completely quiet.

Ruan Tian stopped calling the system by its name and silently drove the electric tricycle toward City E.

The closer Ruan Tian got to City E, the more she discovered something extraordinary.

Compared to other cities, the green coverage rate around City E is inexplicably high.

At first, Ruan Tian didn't take this situation seriously, but as she saw more and more towering trees, her vigilance gradually increased.

"What on earth is going on? Is City E different from other regions, and is it a city dominated by plants?"

For example, the mechanical city ruled by Yul may seem smaller than other cities, but its true power is much greater than that of other cities.

Even now, Ruan Tian doesn't know exactly how many mechanical beasts Yu'er controls.

These unknowns are all Yul's trump cards.

"It seems my new target is definitely not as simple as I imagined. What kind of person could survive in such an environment?"

Ruan Tian couldn't help but feel a little curious. She still had a lot of survival points, so she didn't need to worry about her future survival environment.

Just to be on the safe side, she decided to stay in a safe place outside City E for a couple of days.

Once the system regains consciousness, she will ask it what exactly happened.

After making up her mind, Ruan Tian found a clean place outside E City. She checked it out first to make sure it was safe, and only after finding no problems did she set up camp there.

She carefully carried Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng, the two great figures, off the electric tricycle, afraid that they would leave her sight.

"You two are my precious darlings right now, and I absolutely cannot let anything go wrong between you two!"

Having made up her mind, Ruan Tian took the angel egg down again and placed it very carefully between Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi.

"Given Angel Egg's current capabilities, it's unclear when it will be able to heal the psychological trauma of these two individuals, but there is one person it can do!"

For some reason, Bai Chulan's image gradually appeared in Ruan Tian's mind.

"I wonder how Bai Chulan is doing now. His specialty is healing. As long as he's around, there's no need for angel eggs."

Ruan Tian sighed, thinking that once the system regained consciousness, she would ask it a few questions to see if she could get Bai Chulan's address.

Then, we'll bring Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng over and have Bai Chulan give them a proper treatment.

Dreams are wonderful, but Ruan Tian doesn't know when the system will awaken.

However, Ruan Tian didn't have to wait long. The system quickly returned to Ruan Tian's consciousness at midnight.

【Ruan Tian.】

Upon hearing the system's voice, Ruan Tian was immediately overjoyed!

But soon, she realized something was wrong...

What did the system call her again?

Ruan Tian?

Despite knowing each other for so long, she had never heard the system call her that before.

The system has always habitually called Ruan Tian "host".

But when he woke up for the second time, he actually called out Ruan Tian's name, and his voice sounded far too calm.

Ruan Tian became wary. Was the current system still the same system she knew?

Seeing that Ruan Tian didn't speak, the system also fell silent, and the atmosphere became quiet again.

Five minutes later, the system spoke again:

【Host. 】

Hearing that familiar tone and manner, Ruan Tian finally felt relieved. She let out a long breath and couldn't help but complain to the system:

"You have no idea how scared I was just now! After your second crash, you were like a completely different person, and you gave me a really strange feeling."

[Really? It seems I said something I shouldn't have again.]

The system quickly changed the subject, saying to Ruan Tian:

[Host, why didn't you enter City E?]

"That's because I'm not as reckless as I used to be. I'm thinking of asking you about E City and the next target after you wake up."

[Host, you did the right thing. Don't worry, I'll give you the data now.]

Soon, Ruan Tian received the information from the system, which she opened and carefully examined.

Just as Ruan Tian had predicted, in City E, the World Expo Green Garden was still being held the day before the apocalypse broke out.

Who could have imagined that this place would suffer so much after the apocalypse?

These green plants, after being infected by the virus, turned into terrifying man-eating monsters.

It even developed intelligence.

“This is going to be a bit difficult to deal with,” Ruan Tian stroked her chin. “That giant mushroom that can cause hallucinations almost wiped us out before, let alone the Green Garden.”

The plants in the green garden are incredibly diverse, with all sorts of qualities and varieties!

"System, do you think there might be carnivorous plants among them?"

[You know what, you really think, host, there are definitely plenty of man-eating plants out there.]

"Right! I also think there must be man-eating plants, which makes things even more difficult."

Ruan Tian shook her head helplessly. Just by looking at the map of City E, you could see that it was densely covered with green plants.

So who will be her next target?

"System, don't tell me... that the next target, Ino, is alive in City E, and has been alive for so long."

Ruan Tian gasped in shock. What kind of monster was this person?!

How could they survive in a place like this for so long?

"Wouldn't the level of danger then rise rapidly?"

After just a moment's thought, Ruan Tian fell silent and began to consider how she should enter City E.

System: [That's not the most amazing part. The most shocking thing is that Jing Zhenxu doesn't just need one person to live, he...]

The system paused for a moment before continuing:

He also brought four dependents with him.
