Chapter 9
A flyer with its own special effects, but the content written on it is very simple and crude.
If it were before the end of the world, it would definitely be thrown into the trash can.
Fang Dashan carefully took the flyer. The cheerful and light-hearted music that was out of tune with the surroundings finally stopped, and the surroundings fell into a terrifying silence again.
The taciturn twins stared at the flyer in his hand without saying a word.
The two children had never had the chance to go to school, so they were naturally illiterate. Fang Dashan read the above content for them, and his expression became more and more strange as he read: "Having cheap and delicious food can reduce pollution. Getting a good night's sleep can also reduce pollution..."
He finally couldn't help it, and seeing the two children's heavy eyes, he wiped his face and revealed a decadent look: "This is a scam!"
He cursed under his breath.
I don't know who released this, but as soon as the words "reducing pollution levels" came out, I knew it was definitely a lie.
In fact, there were countless such scams in the first two years of the end of the world.
There were mercenaries selling the meat of unknown and unregistered monsters, falsely claiming that eating it could cure pollution. There were also cults using the promise of reducing pollution to recruit believers, but no matter what, they all ended up in a miserable state.
Every base and security zone attaches great importance to this issue. Once someone is found spreading rumors, they must be arrested and controlled.
And those who choose to believe, whether it is eating meat of unknown and filthy things or other methods, generally pay a heavy price.
In this era when everyone's conscience is numb, many people jokingly say that those two years directly artificially screened out a group of humans with unqualified IQs.
Fang Dashan had a good friend who had been through life and death with him. He believed this scam and spent all his money and crystals to buy a strange gelatinous substance.
The pollution level of nearly 80 made him live in fear every day, so he ate it when he returned home.
Unexpectedly, the thing had a hallucinogenic effect. That night, my friend killed his wife and daughter with a knife.
When he woke up the next day and saw body parts all over the floor, he collapsed and chose the same knife to end his own life.
Later, the police arrived and found through testing that the thing was cut from a wild mushroom outside the safe zone.
It doesn't have the legendary effect at all.
This kind of thing has happened too many times. Some people die not from filth, but from the viciousness of their own kind.
Since that incident, Fang Dashan hated these scammers.
The twins stared at him blankly, and finally one of them spoke up: "Can't... you go?"
The anger in Fang Dashan's eyes froze, and he clenched the flyer in his hand tightly.
The location shown above is only half a day's journey from here.
They couldn't make it to the base, but this hotel was still okay.
The two children had very ugly expressions because of hunger in their stomachs and dry throats, and their pale lips were covered with dead skin.
No matter which way they go, it's a dead end, but selfishly I can't bear to let them leave hungry.
Fang Dashan let out a very low sob from his throat, and finally his eyes slowly became firm: "Okay, let's go over there."
It doesn't matter even if he is deceived. He just wants to change the water and some food, whether it is poisonous or not.
...
It was almost noon when Wen Bei woke up from bed. He rolled around lazily. The hard wooden bed made him feel a little uncomfortable. The wound on his shoulder that he accidentally pressed on made him grimace.
When he makes money in the future, he will definitely buy some better furniture.
After silently swearing an oath in his heart, he got up, washed, and changed into clothes that could cover the fingerprints on his neck.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Ji Mingyuan had already had breakfast. Looking at his boss who slept until noon, he felt helpless like an old father.
Ji Mingyuan: "Want to eat dumplings?"
Wen Bei nodded in a daze.
As soon as he sat down, Ji Mingyuan brought him dumplings.
After sighing inwardly that the employee was good, the rabbit housekeeper rushed out of the garden in a hurry.
The rabbit housekeeper rubbed his paws and said, "Guests are coming."
Wen Bei had no choice but to put down the dumplings he had just drunk a mouthful of soup from, walked to the cash register in the hall and sat down, putting on a polite smile that he had trained himself with from many work experiences.
The rabbit butler opened the door and welcomed the guests in, cracking his three-petal mouth: "Welcome to the hotel."
The three people were clearly reflected in the red eyes.
Fang Dashan was so frightened that he hugged his child behind him and asked, "Can rabbits talk?
The rabbit butler stared at them and repeated, "Welcome to the inn. I'm the butler here. You can ask me any questions."
Fang Dashan swallowed hard, looked around for help, and when he saw Wen Bei, his eyes lit up and he strode forward: "Hello."
Two children followed him like ghosts.
Wen Bei was very dedicated and didn't show any surprise at all: "Hello."
In Fang Dashan's eyes, this expression made him look like an otherworldly sage.
Fang Dashan, who was a little disappointed when he saw the shabby appearance of the hotel, completely changed his mind after entering the hotel.
This hotel seems to use some magical space technology, and the interior is much larger than it looks from the outside.
There must be a very powerful space polluter supporting it.
Every polluter related to superpowers and space is a key protected person in the base.
Could it be this young man in front of me who looks like he has just reached adulthood?
The awe in Fang Dashan's eyes deepened, and the hunger in his stomach made the stomach cramps even more severe.
He gave his last rations to his two children yesterday and has not eaten for two days.
Fang Dashan lowered his voice and asked, "Do you sell any food here?"
Wen Bei: “Of course.”
The rabbit butler came over and said, "The restaurant is here. Please follow me."
Its furry appearance caught the attention of the two twins.
They poked their heads out from behind Fang Dashan and two of them said in unison, "Rabbit?"
There was uncertainty in his voice.
Fang Dashan couldn't help feeling sad.
The end of the world came a year after these two children were born, and now they are six years old, and they have never seen an uncontaminated rabbit.
Although the rabbit in front of me can walk on its hind paws and speak human language, at least it doesn't look weird.
Much better than those disgusting deformed rabbits.
Thinking of this, Fang Dashan's aversion to the rabbit suddenly decreased a lot, and he was willing to follow him towards the restaurant.
After the rabbit butler led them to their seats in the restaurant, he handed them the menu. On the large menu, only the item behind the dumpling soup was shown as available for order.
Fang Dashan didn't mind at all. He hadn't eaten dumplings for five years, and the price of the ten crystals was as cheap as advertised.
He swallowed again, with black mud still between his fingernails, and rubbed his hands nervously: "I want some dumplings."
Despite the low price, he was still short of money.
The rabbit butler nodded, put away the menu, and skipped towards the kitchen.
Ji Mingyuan came over and poured each of them a glass of water.
The three people who had been thirsty for a long time didn't care whether the water was poisoned or not, and drank it all up.
Just like a dead tree being watered, the body that was feeling uncomfortable all over suddenly felt much better.
Fang Dashan: "Thank you."
Ji Mingyuan: "The water in the hotel is free."
After that, he served each of them another glass.
Water is also a precious resource in the end times, and the faucet in this magical hotel is not connected to the water pipe but can still keep flowing water.
If he hadn't remembered his identity as an employee, Ji Mingyuan would have wanted to tear down the hotel and study its structure carefully.
It was not until they drank the third glass of water that Wen Bei came over from the kitchen with a bowl of freshly baked dumpling soup.
The aroma of the dumpling soup immediately whetted the appetites of the three hungry people.
Fang Dashan stared at the bowl of dumpling soup with wide eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.
The dumplings inside look full of meat filling, the dumpling skin is white with a slight sheen, and the soup is covered with a little golden oil, which makes the aroma very fragrant.
At least from the outside, this is a perfectly acceptable dumpling soup.
The fragrance kept drilling into his nose. Fang Dashan's mouth was watering rapidly, and he regretted that he did not bring more crystals with him when he escaped.
There is no such thing as a crystal card in the safe zone, and too many crystals will make your luggage heavy.
Fang Dashan pinched his thigh flesh to successfully divert his eyes from the dumpling soup: "Can I have two more small bowls?"
Wen Bei nodded, and the rabbit housekeeper went directly to the self-service condiment area and got two more small bowls.
Fang Dashan distributed dumplings to the two children. There were sixteen dumplings in the bowl of dumpling soup. He took out all the dumplings and divided them evenly into two small bowls. After handing them to the children, he took a sip of the soup first.
The delicious taste suddenly blooms on the taste buds.
Fang Dashan: "It tastes good!"
As the warm soup entered the stomach, it instantly relieved the burning sensation.
The two children had never seen dumplings before. They scooped up the dumplings with spoons out of curiosity but were a little clumsy. They were burned when they bit into the skin, but no one was willing to spit it out. They quickly chewed it in two big mouthfuls and swallowed it.
After that, I learned to blow on it twice before putting it in my mouth.
When there were only three dumplings left in each of their small bowls, no one wanted to eat anymore.
The twins looked at their father.
Fang Dashan panicked: "Why don't you eat anymore? Are you feeling unwell?"
Is there really something wrong with this bowl of dumplings? But he just drank the soup first and clearly had no reaction at all.
The twins shook their heads in unison and reached out to push the bowl toward their father: "Eat."
Fang Dashan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his nose suddenly felt sore.
He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand in embarrassment and said in a dissembling way: "Dad is not hungry, just drink the soup."
The twins looked at each other, but neither of them wanted to move. They only looked at their father with the whites of their eyes, showing the rare stubbornness of a child.
Even if Fang Dashan pretended to be angry, it was useless, as he felt both touched and anxious in his heart.
Suddenly there was another bowl of dumpling soup on the table.
Wen Bei's eyes were calm: "I only drank a mouthful of soup from this bowl, please have it if you don't mind."
