Chapter 154 Needs to be fed

"Could the gatekeeper be here?" Duan Xi asked.

Song Liang nodded. "That's possible."

Since Yun Zhao has already fought the gatekeeper, there's a high probability that the gatekeeper is here.

Song Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's look around for clues later."

That's definitely not possible now.

The little princess inside is waiting to eat.

They can't leave.

Duan Xi thought of Yun Zhao's current appearance, looked up at the captain's calm face, hesitated for a long time, and asked the question that had been bothering him: "But, how can a person... possibly become young again?"

Unheard of!

Although the timeline within the contaminated area is chaotic, it only refers to the situation within that area.

It's not directed at outsiders.

No matter how bizarre the contaminated area is, or how powerful the rules and monsters that appear are, it's impossible for an adult to turn into a child.

This violates the laws of nature and life.

But the reality is...

Yun Zhao has indeed become a child, and his personality has changed drastically.

If it weren't for the presence of the little blue bird, he would have almost thought the person was the gatekeeper in disguise.

"We'll discuss this later."

Xie Tu took out a clean dagger and was concentrating on cutting the luncheon meat into small pieces and frying them in a flat pan until golden brown on both sides.

As long as the person is alright, it's fine if they shrink.

The rule for contaminated zone 249 is time.

Once we find the gatekeeper, we'll naturally find a way to restore her to her original state.

Only now could Xie Tu calm down and start thinking about the rules while frying the luncheon meat.

"The scenes we've entered so far are the chaotic lands at 4 PM, 7 PM, 6 PM, the residential area at 10 PM, and here."

The amusement park, which was originally one of the two chaotic places, has been confirmed to be in the twelve o'clock direction.

Xie Tu said, "The time at 4 PM and here is the reverse of time; the rest are all clockwise."

Upon hearing this, Song Liang flipped through his notebook, pondering, "What does this mean?"

There are a total of twenty-four locations, and they have visited five of them so far, including two Chaos Lands.

In the other three scenarios.

The artificial lake community, the smiling streets, and the nighttime residences that I first visited all seemed to have no connection.

We were in a hurry to find someone.

Team Zero did not look for clues, nor did they even go inside to activate the scene.

"We can't see anything going clockwise, but time seems to be flowing backward in the counter-clockwise scene."

Xie Tu realized this after seeing Yun Zhao: "The original artificial lake community, the clock that ran backwards, and the television content that played backwards all proved this point."

It was just a normal reverse flow speed; the scene didn't change, so they didn't notice anything.

But something clearly happened here before, which is why Yun Zhao has become like this.

Two chaotic lands, two different flows of time.

He had a guess.

“Pollution zone number 249 is probably a combined pollution zone.”

Xie Tu said this calmly, "As for why we can coexist peacefully, it may be related to the similarity of our rules."

All the anomalies pointed to time.

Furthermore, keys cannot be obtained from mutants or items.

Xie Tu didn't stop what he was doing. After seeing the water boil, he took out the instant noodles from his bag, opened the packaging, and poured them in.

The pot for cooking noodles is very small.

It was a small pot he found in the food street; it could only feed her first, and then the others could cook for themselves.

Upon hearing this, Song Liang and Duan Xi's hearts sank.

The merging of contaminated areas means that this is indeed a five-star danger zone.

Team Zero has never entered the five-star area, and they don't know how the two gatekeepers will get along peacefully.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Tao Haohao returned at this moment carrying a box.

Inside are foods I scavenged from the food street.

He hadn't even had a chance to speak.

At the same time, the peregrine falcon came trotting out, shaking its head. Duan Xi perked up and said, "I've found out."

The noodles were cooked at this time.

Xie Tu took out a bowl he found in the food street, rinsed it twice, scooped out the noodles, and topped it with a thick layer of fried luncheon meat until golden brown.

"We'll talk about it later."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and walked into the shop.

Inside the store.

Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi had packed all the princess dresses.

Dozens of large boxes were neatly stacked against the wall, creating a spectacular sight.

After finishing a bottle of milk, Xiao Yunzhao leaned back idly on the long sofa bench, her almond-shaped eyes darting around.

The store was quiet.

The other three dared not utter a word, fearing that she might make another demand at this moment.

Xie Tu came in and said to the rabbit and the two sentries, "You two go out and get some food first."

The two sentries were overjoyed and exclaimed, "Yes, sir!"

The rabbit was a little worried, and the captain had never taken care of children before. "Captain, should I stay and help?"

Xie Tu: "No need, I'm here."

Seeing this, the rabbit could no longer insist and had no choice but to go out with the two sentries.

Xie Tu looked around but couldn't find a place to put the bowl.

She can't reach the height of the checkout counter now.

The two boxes stacked together were the right height, but she definitely wouldn't agree to it because they contained her princess dress.

He pondered for a moment.

He carried a bowl, dragged over a single stool, and handed her the chopsticks, saying, "Eat."

Xiao Yunzhao glanced at the bowl of noodles; the golden luncheon meat emitted an enticing aroma, but she simply pursed her lips and said, "It's hot."

She's a bit of a handful now that she's shrunk.

Xie Tu had no choice but to pick up the bowl again, pick up a piece of luncheon meat, pause in mid-air for a moment, and then put it into her mouth.

Xiao Yunzhao opened her mouth and ate the luncheon meat.

Pan-fried luncheon meat is even more delicious, and when paired with instant noodle seasoning, the flavor is even more enticing.

Xiao Yunzhao's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

"More!"

Xie Tu held the bowl up and fed her in small bites.

Outside, a group of people were cooking noodles again. While the water was boiling, they called over the two sentries from the salt pond and shared the food that Tao Haohao had found.

Since there is food here, we should naturally save on the supplies we carry in our bags.

Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi haven't eaten anything for a long time.

They didn't bother with formalities and sat down together to eat heartily.

The teammates of Team Zero, who inadvertently glimpsed the situation inside the store, were all stunned.

"The captain is actually feeding Yun Zhao bite by bite!" Duan Xi whispered to Song Liang, gossiping.

The rabbit smacked him with its chopsticks, saying, "Just eat, why are you talking so much!"

“Sister Yun Zhao is just a child now. If she doesn’t know how to use chopsticks, it’s normal for the captain to feed her.”

"Whose six-year-old child still can't use chopsticks?"

The two started bickering again as they talked.

Tao Haohao interrupted them, staring at the two people in the shop, his mind full of questions, "Even if a person shrinks, how can their personality change so easily?"

The little girl in front of me looks exactly like a miniature version of Yun Zhao.

But his personality seems to be that of a completely different person.

Song Liang was silent for a moment, then said, "It should be right. Don't you think she looks a lot like the little bluebird?"

They only knew about Yun Zhao's situation before and after he came to the Dawn Base.

I have absolutely no idea about her past...
