Chapter 83: Garbage Street (V)
Garbage street.
At 6:35, the four elementary school students gathered at the original place.
The first thing they talked about after meeting was not what they had discovered along the way, but——
"Damn, why do I feel a little tired? My physical strength wasn't so bad when I was in elementary school!" Zhang Huawei put his hands on his waist and gasped for breath.
"Me, me too," Shen Leng panted until his face turned pale, "My physical fitness was much better when I was a child..."
This street is only about 800 meters long, how could it make them so tired?
Gao Zhanyuan's face also looked a little ugly, but the first thing he cared about was: "Brother Yu, are you okay?"
Mu Yu leaned against the wall: "I... I'm still alive..."
Gao Zhanyuan instantly exploded: "Brother Yu, hold on, Brother Yu!! I will find a way out and send you to the hospital soon, Brother Yu!!"
Mu Yu grabbed the guy who didn't know where to rush.
This guy has his second-year syndrome again.
He calmed his breath, stood up and frowned, "Why do I feel like this is a bit like near-death, a super slow-motion version."
"——Feeling of near death?!" the other three people blurted out at the same time.
Doesn't the feeling of near-death occur only in time-limited matters?
Zhang Huawei's mind raced: "Could it be that the dungeon wants us to find the right food to eat as soon as possible, or else we'll die? Damn, blinding us isn't enough, why do they have to add this?"
Mu Yu was also a little puzzled.
He frowned and thought about this question, then said, "Actually, if we want to find the hidden clues, all we need to do is let one of us regain his sight, and then we can just follow him. But this is indeed a bit too simple... The dungeon may be trying to force each of us to find the right food to eat to save our lives."
However, to be honest, this wave of near-death feeling did come very slowly...
Mu Yu evaluated secretly and decided that at least they would not be killed within a few minutes, so he could ignore it for now.
So he asked Shen Leng and Zhang Huawei: "Did you find anything just now?"
The two men immediately approached them, took out their mobile phones and showed them the photos they had just taken.
——There is really something on the kt boards of those food stalls!
"Look at this milk tea shop," Zhang Huawei said excitedly, pointing to one of the photos. "This milk tea shop clearly states that drinking their milk tea can 'improve eyesight'!"
Mu Yu and Gao Zhanyuan leaned close to his phone and looked at it carefully.
In the photo, under the cash register of this milk tea shop called MoMo is a row of colorful price lists, and on the right side of the price list are a bunch of words:
“We offer a variety of delicious milk teas. The classic longan and wolfberry milk tea can improve eyesight! There is a black cat sheriff in the store, you can take a photo with it!”
Next to the slogan is a cartoon cow kitten yawning with its mouth open.
The stall number of this milk tea shop is 002.
In addition, Zhang Huawei and Shen Leng also took a picture of the slogan of a fried food shop, which clearly stated "Rich nutrition makes you feel like it's day in the dark."
A clay pot fish head restaurant claims: "Put the whole fish head in to stew, and your eyes will light up after taking a bite!"
There are also some other shops with slogans that evoke associations.
Compared to the two of them, Mu Yu and Gao Zhanyuan's discoveries were a bit insignificant.
They only found a kebab shop, whose slogan read: "The specialty is grilled offal, chicken liver, kidney, pig heart, goat eggs, tripe... the spicy seasoning will make your eyes light up!"
...Luckily this store is not the one opened by Gao Zhanyuan and his seniors, otherwise Gao Zhanyuan would have been unable to hold back...
They also noticed a fruit salad shop that advertised itself as "rich in many vitamins that are good for the body."
At first, Mu Yu and Gao Zhanyuan both felt that this fruit salad shop did not seem like the store they were looking for.
However, the other party put a bracket after the slogan and wrote: "The store manager's knife skills are neat and pleasing to the eye, but his eyesight is not very good [covering mouth and laughing] If you find that he cuts the wrong thing, please throw the fruit to him immediately!"
Mu Yu suddenly felt that this store was a bit strange, so he asked Gao Zhanyuan to take a picture of it.
Gao Zhanyuan asked him puzzledly at the time: "Why, Brother Yu, isn't it said that the store manager has poor eyesight? If their fruit salad is useful, can it not even cure the eyesight of their own store manager?"
Mu Yu said, "The line of markings at the back is a bit like a rule."
In addition, Gao Zhanyuan also took some photos of Lao Wang Noodle House (this shop has spinach and pork noodles, spinach is good for eyesight), some private cake shops (they have blueberry cakes, blueberries are also good for eyes)...
Of course, these stores don’t have any clear reminders. Chef Gao simply relies on his knowledge of nutrition to believe that these foods are good for the eyes!
To sum it up like this -
Mu Yu touched his chin and said, "The relatively clear clues are a milk tea shop, a fried food shop, a clay pot fish head shop, a kebab shop, and a suspected fruit salad shop, five shops in total."
So……
He thought about it and said, "Why don't we start from the milk tea shop!"
This store is closest to their current location, and milk tea is also the food with the simplest preparation process, so it can be obtained quickly.
They always have to try it out to see if these foods can really heal their eyes.
There was no objection to this, it was just a question of who should be the first to raise the issue...
Shen Leng looked dumbfounded.
Zhang Huawei looked up at the sky and down at the ground, his eyes rolling around and his gaze wandering.
The owners of these shops are all monsters. It is obvious that there will be risks in dealing with them. They don't want to be the first to be exposed...
Mu Yu actually had no intention of letting the three newcomers take the lead. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the milk tea shop.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a shadow rushed out from beside him, faster than him, like a small cannonball.
Mu Yu looked carefully and saw that it was Gao Zhanyuan. In the blink of an eye, this guy had already rushed to the door of the milk tea shop!
Mu Yu hurried over, and Shen Leng and Zhang Huawei hurriedly followed him.
When they ran there, Mu Yu panted and raised his voice: "Zhu Zhu, what are you doing!"
He held his chin high, with a head of golden hair and a cold and arrogant look, full of the rebelliousness of an elementary school student: "Brother Yu, you are an experienced old man, you must not die first, if anyone has to die, I have to die first!"
Mu Yu: “…………”
Zhang Huawei and Shen Leng: “…………”
Mu Yu almost couldn't breathe: "Can you not hang up first when it comes to hanging up... No one will hang up! By the way, have you already ordered?"
"Yes, that longan and wolfberry milk tea."
All of a sudden, the four little kids all turned their heads and stared into the store.
A graceful monster dressed in Barbie pink is humming a song and shaking a cup of milk tea.
After shaking the milk tea and sealing it, it came over and asked with a smile: "Do you want to take it away or drink it now, kid?"
Gao Zhanyuan said crisply: "Drink now!"
"Okay," the Barbie pink monster inserted the straw into the milk tea cup and handed it to him, "Here, take it, welcome back next time!"
……Um?
Four pairs of eyes immediately stared at the cup of milk tea.
...It's so easy to get it?!
This monster has no intention of peeling their skin or pulling out their bones or anything like that, and this entire store doesn't have any death mechanism or death level that they plan to show off?
Gao Zhanyuan was no longer as rebellious as before.
He asked Mu Yu quietly and uncertainly: "Brother Yu, can I take this milk tea?"
Mu Yu looked at the slogan on the KT board under the cash register.
[There is a black cat sheriff in the store, you can take a photo with it! 】
He thought about it, raised his head, and asked sweetly, "Sister, are we going to take a photo with Black Cat Sheriff?"
The Barbie pink monster covered his mouth with a smile: "Hey, if you want to take pictures, then take them! Do you want to take pictures?"
The four little kids immediately shook their heads like rattles!
——Just kidding, that's just looking for trouble. Since taking photos with cats is not mandatory, then let's not do it!
Mu Yu winked and Gao Zhanyuan immediately took the milk tea: "Thank you, sister!"
Four little brats jumped down the stairs and ran!
They ran straight to a corner not far away and stopped.
At this moment, the milk tea is already in my hands.
The whole cup looks no different from real milk tea, the portion is the same, the color is the same, and the ingredients are still the same.
But after drinking this thing, whether the person is still the same person, I don’t know...
Amidst the interlaced rapid breathing, three pairs of eyes were focused on Gao Zhanyuan.
Gao Zhanyuan attracted attention and his face was tense. He was obviously a little nervous, but he was not panicked.
He held the cup of hot milk tea as if it were a bomb, and said solemnly, "Brother Yu, I'll drink it!"
"..." Mu Yu thought for a second and nodded to him, "Okay, you drink it."
With Mu Yu's words, Gao Zhanyuan seemed to regain some confidence.
He took a deep breath, held the cup of milk tea tighter, and leaned forward.
Under the nervous gazes of Shen Leng and Zhang Huawei and the thoughtful sight of Mu Yu, Gao Zhanyuan held the straw and took a sip.
Milk tea liquid gushed out of the dark blue translucent straw and flowed into Gao Zhanyuan's mouth.
Gulp.
He swallowed a mouthful.
Gulp.
Take another swallow.
One more bite.
…
………………
Zhang Huawei came over and asked in confusion: "No, why are you still drinking? Tell me how it feels, buddy?"
Gao Zhanyuan sipped most of the milk tea, spit out the straw, and looked confused: "I think it tastes quite good..."
Zhang Huawei: “…” No, who asked you this? !
The next second, Gao Zhanyuan's eyes widened: "Fuck, my eyesight seems to have improved!"
"!" Shen Leng and Zhang Huawei became excited instantly.
Gao Zhanyuan opened his eyes wide and looked at them, then stared at the person beside him, blinking his eyes, and said in a surprised tone: "Brother Yu, it's really getting better. I can see clearly now, and the feeling of near death has disappeared!"
——In other words, these foods are really useful?
Mu Yu immediately said, "Zhuzhu, look around, do you see anything you didn't see before?"
Gao Zhanyuan was very obedient and looked around immediately.
He slowly turned his body, concentrating his attention, scanning everything within his field of vision like a ray.
The other three people were also paying close attention to his reaction, trying to see when he would fix his gaze.
When he turned 180 degrees, Gao Zhanyuan stopped.
At this moment, he was facing the silently rolling thick fog behind the rows of stalls.
Zhang Huawei and Shen Leng asked nervously: "What did you see? Is there something in the fog?"
Gao Zhanyuan looked at it carefully for a while, raised his arm, pointed at the fog, and said doubtfully: "It seems that there are buildings outside the fog."
……architecture?
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking, but in their vision, it was still blurry, no different from before.
Mu Yu asked, "What buildings? Are they the roads and buildings outside the garbage street?"
"It looks a bit like it, but not quite." Gao Zhanyuan squinted and opened his eyes wide, trying to identify it. "Anyway, there are still many buildings outside, but I don't think I can see anyone..."
Mu Yu bent his thumb and placed it to his lips, concentrating on thinking.
...As for what the world inside the fog looks like, the players who survived from various copies have never known. After all, no one has tried to go in, and those who have gone in have never come back.
But no matter how you think about it, the dungeon shouldn't allow players to see the "truth in the fog" so easily...
What's more, it is an ability to "see" that is only obtained through game settings.
In theory, this ability should only allow players to see things in the dungeon.
But Gao Zhanyuan clearly saw the buildings through the fog. If those buildings were not "things from the foggy world" but "things from the dungeon", how could he explain the fog...
Mu Yu paused and suddenly thought of his previous speculation - there were more than four players in this copy.
However, they just walked through the entire garbage street and didn't see any familiar figures...
Gradually, a bold idea came to his mind, and light gleamed in Mu Yu's eyes.
...Could it be that the map of this dungeon actually contains more than just this garbage street? !
The fog surrounding them at this moment is not real fog, but some kind of optical illusion... The area outside Garbage Street is also part of this dungeon map... Yes, that's right!
That makes sense!
Otherwise, which "home" are the train tickets intended to take them to?
Where can the life guidance of the hotbed lead them? !
Are we always wandering around in a garbage street? !
Mu Yu quickly raised his head and told the other three people his idea. When they heard it, they were dumbfounded at first, and then excited.
Zhang Huawei asked excitedly: "Then do we have to get out of the fog before we can meet up with other players?"
"Then we have to solve our own problems before we can go out, right?" Shen Leng said, "Otherwise, we don't know when the feeling of near-death will kill us!"
Zhang Huawei: "Then come back when you feel like you're about to die..."
Mu Yu frowned and said, "I think we have to consider the possibility that once we go out, we won't be able to come back."
Although this fog is not the same as that fog, its function may be similar, that is, "separation".
The spaces on both sides are separated, so it is very likely that they cannot go out as they wish or come back as they wish.
They can't take things too simply.
When Zhang Huawei heard this, he immediately said, "Then let's all go drink milk tea and leave after we finish. Anyway, milk tea has been proven to be effective and safe!"
Although the method is simple and crude, it is not impossible to try.
The four little kids turned around and ran back to the milk tea shop, and each ordered a cup of longan and wolfberry milk tea.
The milk tea shop was empty at the moment, and the Barbie pink monster was very idle. It was obviously very happy to see them again. It quickly made three cups of milk tea and handed them to them with a smile.
Mu Yu, Zhang Huawei and Shen Leng each took a cup and immediately lowered their heads to drink.
One bite, two bites, three bites...
Most of the cup of milk tea was quickly finished. Mu Yu raised his head and looked forward, but a look of confusion appeared on his face.
What's going on? His eyes are still blurry and not clear at all.
Beside him, Zhang Huawei was also wondering: "Why is it useless?"
"Me too," Shen Leng touched the corners of his eyes anxiously, "My eyes are still like this..."
Gao Zhanyuan had been standing by waiting for them to join his team. Seeing this, he looked puzzled: "How is it possible? I just drank it and -"
He and the crystal coffin behind him suddenly disappeared together.
