Spring City Mystery 2
The morning wind was filled with moisture, the clouds in the sky were white, the sky was blue, and then there was an endless road. There was a big hole in the front of Yan Ke's car.
Yan Ke held his forehead helplessly. As expected, sometimes he really couldn't believe everything Nan Yu said. But after seeing Nan Yu's lost expression, he couldn't bring himself to say any words of accusation.
"Thank goodness I stepped on the brakes just now, otherwise the front of the car would have been flattened."
Yan Ke smiled and said, "It's okay, just practice. After all, it's not your first car. Once you get used to it, this situation won't happen again." Yan Ke checked the damage to the car and concluded that the car was still drivable, but it looked half-new and half-broken, and its style looked a bit scrappy.
"Nanyu, we can find a repair shop in the next city and have it fixed." It looked like it was indeed hit hard.
Yan Ke checked Nan Yu's body and said worriedly, "I thought he didn't get hurt just now."
"No, it's just that the brakes were a bit harsh. Hahaha, your car is nice and the brakes are quite sensitive."
"It is indeed sensitive. I'm glad you didn't get hurt. It's also my fault. I should have told you what the function is."
Nan Yu curled his lips. He was not angry at all. Was Yan Ke really a punching bag? He had crashed his car into such a mess, and they had to drive the car to the next city for repairs. He felt a little regretful now. He should not have been interested in driving. He felt embarrassed that Yan Ke had done this to him.
Nan Yu originally thought that if Yan Ke said something to him, he would use it as an excuse to make Yan Ke admit his mistake.
But the feeling of drifting a car is still quite exciting.
So the two of them drove the wasteland-style car to the next city, but as soon as Yan Ke started the car, smoke came out.
Yan Ke looked at the road ahead with a wry smile. In order to avoid the tentacle monster that the girl had transformed into, they had now reached the edge of Quan City. Although there were many tall buildings all around, all the people in Quan City had left because of the spreading fog.
"It's okay, let's go check it out, what if there are other means of transportation?"
Nanyu also knew that it was his fault that the car was hit like this, but Nanyu felt that the car was not very sturdy. He looked at Yan Ke for a few times. He sold so many talismans and props he drew in exchange for such a not very sturdy car. Yan Ke was much poorer than he imagined.
"What about the things in the car?" Nanyu asked. Nanyu didn't care much about the car now, but he felt that this place was deserted and they might go hungry, which would be really bad.
"Well, we can eat first and then leave. These foods are not prizes won in the weird game. I can't put them in the game backpack. I can only eat a little now to avoid wasting them."
Nan Yu nodded in agreement. Besides, these things were brought out by Yan Ke from the supermarket, and he liked many of them. If they were just thrown in the car, they would definitely go bad, which would be a waste.
"What to eat?" Nanyu asked, "The hot pot you made last time was pretty good."
"Okay, let's eat hot pot."
The last time we ate hotpot, Nanyu was still a calico cat. His body really limited his performance. He is still thinking about fish cakes. Because he was too young, he didn’t get to eat the fish cakes he longed for.
Looking at Nanyu who was suddenly looking at him with starry eyes, Yan Ke was shocked by the cuteness. My God, even if Nanyu was weird, she was cute and weird. This kind of expectant starry eyes was simply too unfair.
Yan Ke coughed and said, "Okay, I'll go check out the ingredients."
On the empty road, the front of a car was flattened due to a collision, but Yan Ke was like a busy little bee, driving back and forth, sorting the ingredients, checking whether they were spoiled, and found that the stored things were intact.
Maybe it is already autumn, and the flowers, plants and trees in Quancheng are still lush and blooming, but the temperature has begun to drop, resulting in these foods not being corroded by high temperatures in the past few days.
Yan Ke took out a small stool, opened the back door of the car, and sat in the car. His hands did not stop for a moment, preparing the pot, washing the ingredients with mineral water, and making the dipping sauce.
Nanyu watched the whole process, watching Yan Ke set up the portable camping table, light the fire, get the pot, wash the pot, pour water, put in the hot pot base, and other smooth tasks. However, Nanyu had no intention of stepping forward to help. He was just a handsome young man staring at the pot and waiting for food.
It's just that the expression gradually merged with that of the calico cat.
Yan Ke’s experience now is that the person she likes is a cat. Although this cat has many secrets like herself, it has saved her life several times in dangerous moments.
My God, this is too magical.
"You have a nice set of cooking equipment, what a pity."
Yan Ke glanced at Nan Yu and said, "It's not a pity. We've used it several times." But in his heart he thought that it was the car rather than the pot that was okay. He didn't expect Nan Yu to crash the car into such a terrible state in a blink of an eye and it couldn't be driven away. This car was much more expensive than this set of cookware.
Nan Yu didn't know that Yan Ke was feeling sad about the car's tragic death, and his eyes were filled with the hot pot that was about to be cooked.
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Yan Ke was thinking that the car could not be driven now, and because of the fog, the car was now in a scrapped state.
It was impossible for him to walk, and he would not be able to reach the next city in several months.
Nan Yu may have never thought about this question. At this moment, he was completely conquered by Yan Ke's hot pot. He looked like he was enjoying the food.
Just like in the previous dungeon, what Nanyu cares most about is probably the delicious food in this dungeon.
Although he is not of my race, his tsundere personality makes Yan Ke unable to help but pamper him.
"Hmm, this tastes good. Where are we going later?"
Yan Ke said: "Eat more, and then we will search the map for the route." It was unknown when the next car would be found, and Yan Ke was very worried.
The car he had picked up before was parked in the residential area opposite the car sales place. He still remembered the location and wondered if he should go and check on the car. He remembered that there should be at least half a tank of gas left in the car. He was afraid that among the people who retreated, there would be someone who would take advantage of the situation and steal the car.
This was Yan Ke's plan, but plans could not keep up with changes. When Nanyu Yan Ke finished his meal, he suddenly heard a roar from upstairs behind him: "Ah!!"
A hysterical voice pierced the sky, and Yan Ke and Nan Yu were attracted by the voice at the same time. They looked together towards the place where the voice came from, which was a residential area.
There are actually people who don't believe in the harm of the fog and don't leave in the hope of getting lucky.
Nan Yu looked at Yan Ke and said, "You don't want to go and take a look, do you?"
"Why should I go? Someone who is not afraid of fog is much better than me." He put on his packed backpack and said, "Let's leave here first. This matter is definitely not something we can solve."
Nanyu nodded in approval and said, "Not bad. You have grown a lot."
When Yan Ke didn't notice, Nan Yu looked back at the location of the community. The energy of the fog had not completely disappeared, and the human who screamed was in great danger.
"Where are we going next?" Nan Yu asked Yan Ke, "Your car can't be driven."
Yan Ke said: "It doesn't matter where we go, let's find a means of transportation first."
"Is it hard to find?" Nan Yu asked.
Yan Ke looked back and said, "It's okay. Everything will work out when we get to the bridge."
"Okay, let's go then."
As he spoke, Nanyu habitually pulled Yan Ke's hand, which was a little rough and calloused, and rubbed it a few times. Yan Ke had become accustomed to it. In the copy world, Nanyu would make such intimate gestures from time to time, as if to test his tolerance for Nanyu. This kind of intimate gesture may not have any special meaning, but Yan Ke felt his heart beating violently, as if it was pierced by an electric current.
There was nothing unusual on his face, but he was feeling excited inside and couldn't hide it.
Nanyu found it interesting to see Yan Ke like this. In Nanyu's impression, Yan Ke was just like that, with a pure heart. Although it was full of secrets, it would make people unable to help but unlock them, and then invade his heart little by little and dig out those secrets with their own hands.
After the mysterious fog, the streets of Quancheng became unusually quiet, as if time had stopped here.
The fog not only obscures the vision, but also is an invisible force that penetrates into every corner silently.
Those survivors who were lucky enough to escape the initial disaster thought they had escaped, but they never imagined that the real nightmare had just begun.
Although Nanyu and Yan Ke had already discovered the abnormality, they had no intention of exploring it because they knew that they had already completed the copy and the remaining fog power here would gradually fade away until the essence of the energy desert of this world was restored.
Just like the girl who suddenly turned into a tentacle monster after being invaded by the fog, it seemed that she revealed the weirdness of the fog, and Yan Ke was also unfortunate as the chosen player.
The misfortune of different people is just the difference between a suspended death sentence and immediate execution. They are all fish on the chopping board and targeted prey.
Yan Ke also knew that this kind of thing was not something he could control. He was not affiliated with any official background or non-governmental organization. Once he was exposed, he would become the target of public criticism. The development of things was irreversible. He had good intentions, but he could not be dragged down by his kindness because he did not dare to gamble on human nature. As a result, he was willing to have too many conflicts with people like Fang Yu.
But as human beings, we should save others without persecuting each other.
Finally, the two found a shared electric car. Fortunately, it still had 90% of the battery left. Yan Ke was very satisfied. This way he could take Nan Yu to find the car as soon as possible.
When they turned on the navigation to find the car, even though they went in the opposite direction of the shouting, they saw a breathtaking scene.
It was a residential area, and there were crackling sounds coming from downstairs, which were particularly clear in the already quiet street.
With a casual glance, I saw several dried tentacles wriggling on the ground in the community. As the power of the fog faded, the tentacles gradually lost their vitality and became silent. The scene looked really weird and scary.
