Chapter 30
[Hahaha, I know the answer to this one. Salicornia is edible, but it only grows near seawater.]
[I can too. Broccoli grows on the coast.]
[Artichokes, artichokes, this one is also edible.]
The audience in the live broadcast room posted the information about wild vegetables they had found, and almost everyone’s avatars became pictures of wild vegetables.
After a closer look, Shi Buxi realized he only recognized the green cauliflower, the same cauliflower he'd eaten before. What surprised him most was the wild chives. The wild chives he'd seen in the mountains before were similar to the cultivated ones, long and thin. However, the leaves of the wild chives in Area 3 were oval. Aside from the flowers, they looked completely different.
Shi Buxi selected a few wild vegetables that were said to grow by the sea, memorizing their shapes. Then, along with Jian Xiaonan, he began searching. In a place untouched for three thousand years, the vegetation flourished abundantly. The first vegetable they found was a salt-peeling vegetable, which had a salty, slightly fishy flavor. They also found purple cabbage and wild grapes so sour they could make your teeth fall out.
The three of them ate lunch while searching, eating bread. Around four in the afternoon, Feng Shen called Shi Buxi back through the audience. The three of them walked back, carrying, and hugging a bunch of things, looking like they were fleeing.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also very happy, counting carefully how many kinds of vegetables and fruits they helped Shi Buxi find and how many talismans they could get.
[Three vegetables, three fruits, and something called cassava. Hehe, kids, let's come back tomorrow.]
[Yeah, this is definitely not enough to eat.]
"It should be enough." Shi Buxi replied. Today's things were carried back in baskets. After adding some fish caught by Feng Shen and others, it should be enough.
[Ah, so are we leaving tonight or tomorrow? ]
[Come on, let me tell you some good news and bad news. The good news is that we can draw seven talismans, and the bad news is that there are only 20 billion people to share. Hahahaha.]
【……】
[Fuck, wasn't there only about 10 billion people online this morning?]
[The ten billion people in the dream, haha, I just want to know, who posted on Starnet saying there was a talisman to draw?]
[Wow, aren't bamboo shoots added? ]
"Ten tickets, let's draw ten for everyone. But we may have to wait until the show is over before we can give them to everyone." Shi Buxi said.
[Okay, okay, hahaha, I said children are the kindest people in the world.]
[Woo woo, is that the time to smoke now? ]
[Wait, can we wait until the show is almost over before drawing?]
I agree.
The barrage was full of comments of approval, so Shi Buxi didn't force it and nodded in agreement.
When the three came out of the forest, it was already dark. Feng Shen and Zong Ziyu were standing outside waiting for them. Seeing them coming out with everything hanging all over their bodies, he was happy and quickly stepped forward to help take the things over.
"We also caught a lot of fish and shellfish and stuffed them all into the cold storage. But there's a problem now. We don't know how to cook." Feng Shen got a headache when he thought of the pile of things in the kitchen.
"I can do it." Tian Lou has been feeling a little depressed since he teamed up with everyone. He can't fight, and he's not a healer like Jian Xiaonan, so he feels particularly useless. Now that he hears that he can be useful, he can't help but speak loudly.
Shi Buxi also knows how to cook simple dishes, but when she saw Tian Lou suddenly become confident, she didn't say anything at this time.
"Hahaha, then we'll rely on you from now on." Feng Shen nudged him with his elbow.
"Okay." Tian Lou said happily.
However, when they returned to the kitchen in the cabin, they found that there was no oil or salt.
"I do!" Shi Buxi reminded.
Everyone slapped their foreheads and remembered the fresh chicken soup they had drunk before.
Chef Tian Lou was in charge of this meal, and Shi Buyi and Jian Xiaonan assisted him. After Feng Shen and others moved all the things from the car to the boat, they had nothing to do, so they took out the unpeeled bamboo shoots and peeled them.
The first person to try it was Lu Feng. He didn't expect that his hands would be pricked by fine hairs, which made him feel numb and painful. He was so uncomfortable that his face looked hideous. In his words, it was not as painful as being stabbed by someone.
With Lu Feng's previous experience as a lesson, the people behind him simply took clothes and wrapped their hands before starting to peel them.
In the kitchen, since Shi Bushi didn't have much oil, the dishes that could be cooked were limited. The vegetables were washed and eaten raw, and the seafood was steamed. Finally, some salt and oil were added to make them fragrant.
After eating bread for so long, how could there be a meal of meat? No one complained at all and cleared out all the food.
"If we don't have any staple food to eat like this, I'm afraid the food in the cold storage won't be enough." Feng Shen said after he had a full meal.
"Stay another day tomorrow?" Shi Buyi leaned back in his chair, looked up at the starry sky, and thought of his master. He wondered if his master knew he was here.
"We can stay for another morning," Zong Ziyu suggested.
Others agreed.
"I've finished taking a shower. Do you want to take one?" Jian Xiaonan came out wiping his hair. The water on this ship was filtered from seawater and turned into pure water. There was no need to worry about running out of water, and they could take a refreshing shower.
"Me, me." Zong Ziyu and Feng Shen jumped up from the deck almost at the same time and ran away.
Jian Xiaonan walked over to Shi Buxi and saw him staring blankly at the sky. He then looked at the camera next to him, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiaoxi, you really don't know that Yaya zombie?"
"Huh? I don't know him!" Shi Buxi came back to his senses and turned around and said.
"Where is your home on the main planet?" Jian Xiaonan thought about it and decided to start from here. She wasn't asking these questions to find out anything, but the identity of the Yaya zombie was too worrying. She had also looked at Shi Buyi with confusion that night, so the other party might be hiding a lot from Shi Buyi, including his true identity.
As for whether Yaya Zombie is a zombie, Jian Xiaonan thinks the answer is "no". His Majesty grew up in front of the people, so how could he be a zombie?
"A small hill in District 15," Shi Buyi replied. After arriving in this world, he had briefly learned about the regional divisions of the main planet. The Imperial City was District 1, and then outward, to District 15, the outermost.
Jian Xiaonan was even more puzzled when he heard this. District 15 was so far away from District 1 that it was impossible for them to have any contact. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you have any particularly good or mysterious friends?"
Shi Buxi turned around and looked at Jian Xiaonan in surprise. He then smiled and shook his head. Besides the Tang family father and daughter, the only people he had met since arriving here were Jian Xiaonan and his friends. So where was this mysterious friend? "Are you suspecting that Yaya Zombie knows me? Or perhaps it's someone who knows me in real life?"
This possibility had been suspected by the livestream audience, Zong Ziyu, and the others, so there was no need to hide it. However, seeing Jian Xiaonan ask this, Shi Buyi thought of the cloaked zombie's words "Your Majesty the Queen" that night, and then recalled how he was being held by the Fangya zombie...
Shi Buxi: ...
He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
Jian Xiaonan looked at Shi Buyi, who was confused at first and then seemed to suddenly realize something. He didn't know whether his reminder was good or bad.
The two fell silent at the same time.
【……】
What are you talking about? What is it that a VVVIP like me can't listen to?
[What happened to the Yaya Zombie? Don't tell me you've discovered the Yaya Zombie's true identity.]
[Ahhh, so what does this silence mean? ]
[Speaking halfway, the ship will encounter a huge deep-sea monster halfway through.]
[Wow, tell me secretly, who is the Fangya zombie? ]
"I'm going to take a shower." Shi Buxi saw Zong Ziyu and Feng Shen coming out wiping their hair, and got up to go back to the cabin.
The camera followed the contestant's terminal, and the audience naturally followed, chattering and asking questions, but was finally turned off by Shi Buxi.
audience:……
After Shi Buxi came out of the shower, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Everyone was tired after a whole day, and they hadn't slept well before. Now that they were in such a safe place like the cabin, they quickly felt sleepy. However, the ship was not very big, with only two small bedrooms with double beds.
"I'll sleep on the floor." Shi Buyi said. Rather than sleeping in that small bedroom, he would rather sleep in the living room where he could see outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He liked it that way.
"I'll sleep on the floor too." Feng Shen shrugged and went to get his things and make his bed.
Zong Ziyu said he also wanted to sleep in the living room, so the living room was almost full.
Lu Feng failed to get a seat, and looking at the deck outside the cabin, he felt like sleeping outside. However, when he thought about being blown by the sea breeze all night and waking up the next day with his whole body sticky, he gave up.
Seeing that everyone had chosen, Jian Xiaonan turned around and found a room to sleep in.
Although the ship is not too big, it is still much wider than a carriage. In addition, sleeping in the cabin is safe and reassuring, so everyone slept very soundly that night.
However, when they woke up the next day, Feng Shen and Zong Ziyu found themselves sleeping in a tent.
The two men climbed out and were stunned to see each other. Then they looked at each other, turned to look at the deck, and then at the half-open glass door. Shi Buxi, who was sleeping sprawled out in the living room alone, was stunned.
"Are we sleepwalking?" Zong Ziyu asked Feng Shen blankly.
"The sleepwalker would take the tent, open it, and then sleep inside?" Feng Shen gritted his teeth, inexplicably thinking of the incident a few nights ago when Zong Ziyu was dragged out of the car by someone, no, by zombies, and put on the roof to sleep.
"Tell me, who is coming?" Feng Shen grabbed the camera flying in the air and asked with a sinister smile.
[Woo woo, don't do this, it's scary. ]
[I admit it, I admit it, it was the Fang Zombie, no, it was the Black Cloak Zombie, who dragged you from inside into the tent like dead pigs.]
[Hahaha, damn, this is hilarious. Does the Yaya zombie think Xiaoxi is its master?]
【Ahhh, I want to knock, I want to knock. 】
[You guys were wrong last night. You shouldn't have let the kids sleep in the middle. Hahaha. After picking on Actor Jian, you picked on Feng Shen. Hahaha. Yaya Zombie's face went black right there. Too funny.]
"He was wearing a mask, how did you know his face was black?" Feng Shen touched his neck, not knowing whether he should be glad that he didn't bite it.
【That black air pressure is almost becoming substantial.】
"You should be thankful you have a tent. We all thought he was going to just dump you on the deck."
[No, we thought we were going to throw it into the sea. Hahaha.]
[Shouldn't the scariest thing be that neither of them woke up?]
[Damn, that seems to be the case. Zong Ziyu woke up last time, although he was knocked unconscious by his mental power. What happened this time?]
[Wait, isn't the electromagnetic wave of your distress bracelet turned on? ]
"What I want to know more is how this door is opened." Feng Shen stood up and walked towards the half-open glass door.
[Of course, the black-caped zombie opened it with wire. That's amazing! Isn't this door high-tech? How can it be opened with just a piece of wire? I don't understand.]
Feng Shen listened to the audience, walked to the gate to check, and found that the ship lock was indeed intact.
"Well, what are you doing?" Shi Buyi was awakened by the audience's laughter. He got up with a sleepy face and looked at the two people at the door blankly.
"Your driver is here to mark his territory again." Feng Shen gritted his teeth, walked into the cabin, and couldn't help pinching the little ball on his head.
"Ah? Driver?" Shi Buyi was even more confused.
【Hahaha, the Yaya zombies are coming. 】
[Pfft, he came over last night and didn't do anything but sit next to you and stare at you for at least half an hour.]
[Woo, I thought he was going to bite you.]
[Why do I want to take off my coat and get into bed when I see this?]
Shi Buyi understood, but also became even more confused. After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, does your Majesty already have a queen?"
【yes! 】
"What about your queen?" Shi Buyi asked.
[I don't know, some say he's missing.]
[Some say he died of a sudden illness.]
【Why are you asking this suddenly? 】
"I suddenly remembered." Shi Buyi scratched his head, climbed up from the bed, and tidied up the bedding and pillows.
As I was folding the papers, my hands paused and a thought flashed through my mind: Am I being used as a substitute?
