Chapter 153 It's All the Gatekeeper's Fault

Xie Tu carried the pot into the shop.

Most of the princess dresses in the clothing store had already been packed up, leaving only empty hangers.

Wu Kui piled the sealed cardboard boxes in the corner.

Xiao Yunzhao sat on the stool, her skirt layered and taking up the entire seat. She raised her fair little feet, and on the ground in front of her were countless pairs of children's shoes of all kinds.

Like the princess dresses in the store, the sizes are uniform, as if the wardrobe was tailor-made for her.

A group of people, some standing and some squatting, were helping her choose shoes.

Since finding the person.

Xie Tu relaxed completely and walked over to look at the shoes on the ground.

"You don't like any of them?" Xie Tu put down the pot in his hand, walked over to her, squatted down, and asked her.

Xiao Yunzhao raised her fair face and looked at him with eyes that seemed to look at someone with an intellectual disability.

Isn't this obvious?

Xie Tu looked down and picked out two pairs of pink shoes, patiently saying, "This color matches well. You can wear these first, and then we can go look around elsewhere to see if there are any shoes you like."

Xiao Yunzhao: "No!"

Xie Tu seemed not to hear her, and held up two pairs of pink shoes in front of her, "Which pair do you want to wear?"

Xiao Yunzhao puffed out her cheeks and tucked her delicate little feet back under her skirt.

The refusal was quite obvious.

Everyone around him suddenly became mute.

Wu Kui opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head helplessly.

Lai Yongyi tries to minimize his presence.

Subei is resource-scarce and remote; all the children hope for is to be easy to raise and grow up safely.

They had never seen such a difficult person to please.

The surroundings were quiet, and everyone silently watched the aloof man, patiently coaxing her to put on her shoes.

The little bluebird perched on its host's shoulder, looking incredibly content, and raised its head to observe the expressions of the sentries.

It really likes its current form.

It has the same personality as it.

At this moment, Tao Haohao brought over dozens more pairs of shoes.

"Yun Zhao, take a look, this batch was taken from the warehouse."

Duan Xi quickly stepped forward, kicked away the children's shoes around his feet, and opened the shoeboxes one by one.

The little children's shoes are exquisite and beautiful; to this group of straight men, every pair is very pretty.

Unfortunately, she didn't like either of them.

Originally, everyone was counting on the captain.

But clearly, even the captain couldn't do anything about Yun Zhao now.

We can't just force her to wear it, what if she starts crying?

To take this a step further, imagine how embarrassing it would be for her to remember how everyone forced her to wear shoes once she's back to normal...

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yunzhao sat down on the stool and scanned the newly arrived shoes.

Xie Tu noticed that her gaze paused for a moment.

They were a pair of white leather shoes, with tiny rhinestones embedded on the surface and a large bow in the middle.

"Wear these?" Xie Tu reached out and took the shoes, asking for her opinion.

Xiao Yunzhao remained silent, glancing sideways at the shoes in Xie Tu's hand, seemingly considering the matter.

Seeing this, Xie Tu grabbed her swaying little feet and tried to put the socks on her directly.

The rabbit timidly held up the white object in its hand, "Captain... I need to put on my socks first."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunzhao immediately raised her head and said, "I don't want those socks, they're too ugly!"

The people around: "..."

Seeing that things were not going well, Tao Haohao picked up the pot on the ground and ran away, saying, "I...I'll go boil some water first."

*

It took her almost an hour and a half to finally choose her shoes and socks.

The people around him looked relieved.

Everyone cursed the goalkeeper a hundred times in their hearts.

—It's all the gatekeeper's fault that their guide turned out this way!

At this moment, Song Liang came over carrying a pile of firewood.

When Duan Xi saw him return, he glared at him and said, "Old Song, how could you be so inconsiderate!"

He had already prepared the firewood, but he just stood outside and refused to come over.

They clearly knew what was going on inside.

Intentional.

Song Liang was somewhat helpless. If even the captain couldn't handle it, what use would his arrival be?

It's better to just stroll around outside with the chopped wood to avoid getting yourself into a fire.

Song Liang let Duan Xi point his finger at him and accuse him. After he finished speaking, Song Liang whispered the captain's instructions.

This is the important matter.

Duan Xi suppressed his temper, released his peregrine falcon, and went to find the little bluebird.

When the peregrine falcon came out, it walked into the store with a stooped back, like an old man taking a stroll, glancing around every now and then.

Little Bluebird and Yun Zhao are inseparable.

Standing on the main body's shoulder, it glanced sideways at Xie Tu as he opened the bottle of strawberry milk the rabbit had given him, inserted a straw, and handed it to the main body's mouth.

Xie Tu said, "Drink this first to fill your stomach, then I'll go cook."

Xiao Yunzhao reluctantly accepted the milk and drank it.

"I want to eat meat!"

"good."

Upon hearing this, the rabbit secretly rejoiced, thankful that it had brought sausages and luncheon meat in its backpack; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to find any meat in the contaminated area.

Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi remained silent.

The sentries at the large base finally remembered that this was a contaminated zone.

They had been inside for so many days, fleeing and hiding in fear every day, frantically searching for the key, enduring day after day in a state of intertwined hope and despair.

The senior sentries at the large base are doing well, taking care of their kids in the contaminated zone.

The difference is enormous.

Just then, the peregrine falcon entered the shop and approached the little bluebird with a clear objective.

The little bluebird saw it and raised its head.

[You're so weak. We've only been apart for a short time, and you're already covered in dark matter again.]

It flapped its wings, and wisps of green fluorescence began to purify the dark matter within the peregrine falcon's body.

The peregrine falcon, being good-natured, didn't argue with it. Instead, it comfortably raised its head and leaned in to whisper and chatter with the little bluebird.

Xiao Yunzhao had already noticed the commotion.

She looked curiously at the approaching spirit.

I have no recollection of it; I remember nothing.

However, her spirit was clearly very familiar with this group of people, and even communicated with the spirits of other people.

Xiao Yunzhao didn't want to think too much about it. She raised her chin, pointed at Xie Tu, and urged, "Hurry up and cook."

She was hungry.

A cook should have the self-awareness of a cook.

"Okay, if you're tired, take a nap. I'll wake you up when the food is ready."

Xie Tu brought a cushion from the store and bent down to carefully place it behind her.

He glanced discreetly at the two spiritual entities communicating, instructed the rabbit to stay and guard the place, and then left to get her some food.

The pot was set up right outside the clothing store.

To prevent smoke from blowing into the store, the location is on the side of the clothing store, with a glass window through which you can clearly see what's inside.

Song Liang and Duan Xi stayed there, while Tao Haohao went to check out the food street next door.

I'm looking to see if there's anything edible I can get as an extra meal.

Upon seeing the captain come out, Song Liang voluntarily gave up his seat.

The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making a soft sizzling sound.

Xie Tu took out a can of luncheon meat from his backpack, skillfully pried open the can, and began to prepare to fry the meat.

While preparing food, they patiently waited for the peregrine falcon to emerge.

The little bluebird is helping to purify the dark matter, and Duan Xi is feeling much better.

He and Song Liang squatted down and sat to the side. Only then did they have time to discuss the mission.

"This must be another chaotic place."

Song Liang said, "I just went to see it. The area under repair revealed a pitch-black hole, almost exactly the same as the chaotic land I saw before."

Countless fragments are being used to repair the scene.

It seems a major battle took place here.

According to Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi, they witnessed the green fluorescent light shattering the space when the roller coaster crashed into Yun Zhao.

“Yun Zhao should have already fought the gatekeeper before this,” Song Liang said.
