Chapter 102 Drinking Soup
I'm not important at all? How dare you say that, Chen Xiao'er.
Rather than being angry, the devil felt more relieved: Fortunately, I arrived in time, fortunately, I didn't take action just now.
Because this cunning human finally told the truth in front of her companions - she was playing games again!
Regarding the "game" that Chen Xiao'e mentioned, Xinnaya felt a mixture of pleasure, interest, vigilance and disgust.
The devil's intuition told her that if she asked this question to her fellow tribesman named Milo, she would probably get an answer that would embarrass her and make her hate Chen Xiao'er even more.
The ultimate black is still black. So, needless to say, the bond between Chen Xiao'er and me is already one of unbreakable, unbreakable, pure black.
Sinaya suppressed the urge to attack and watched them go away.
Chen Xiao'e was surrounded by apostles and so many humans. If a fight broke out, she would surely have prepared a dazzling array of tricks.
And... Xinaya's expression gradually became excited, and she showed her fangs wantonly.
Rather than brawling in your traps, I'd rather disrupt your game unexpectedly. That would be fun!
The devil's body was ablaze with flames, and the body made of pure light swung around the bottom of the valley, burning the remaining soil with a bit of disgust.
It's your fault for being so slow! You wasted my time.
If I had known you would be attracted by my leftovers, I should have stayed where I was.
Sinaya shook herself impatiently, and the spreading "flame" suddenly sensed the approach of other people.
“!”
Humph, you do have a backup plan, Chen Xiao'er.
The demon grinned and vanished, returning to human size, but still composed entirely of light. She hovered dozens of meters in the air, surveying the scene below.
A group of people ran by at a steady pace. Their goal wasn't the wreckage, but... the "trace" left by Chen Xiao'e. Wherever she walked, a radiation vacuum would temporarily form, and the fog would be less.
The devil knows these people.
Although human flesh faces were unremarkably ugly, and no one cared about them except Chen Xiao'er, the abyssal creatures' inherent perception was too superior, automatically recording their mental fluctuations.
What were they doing here at this hour? Were they preparing to retrieve the trap they had set? Could it be that Chen Xiao'e had predicted my actions again, knowing I would come after her? The devil was deeply curious.
…
Beep beep.
Zheng Lu put away the measuring device and shook her head. "Not so good. We're a little late. Another high-energy anomaly passed by and obscured our tracks."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Lin Lang didn't dwell on it. After all, encountering traces of Chen Xiaomie was an unexpected surprise.
Along the way, they captured one living anomalous being and collected three anomalous remnants. To reduce the risk of casualties, they avoided dangerous anomalies whenever possible, but these results were already good enough.
The students buried their heads in searching and came to two conclusions.
First, Chen Xiao'er should have walked straight ahead, because using her special ability, she could see an empty strip of light in the distance.
Second, there are high-energy radiation residues in this "ruin". It is possible that some powerful anomaly came into contact with Chen Xiao'er and was then eliminated or left.
"What should we do? Should we catch up with her as soon as possible?" Everyone whispered to each other.
Xing Shuyao held the pointer in her hand and shook her head: "No, after we catch up, don't get too close to avoid triggering classmate Chen's superpowers."
While tracking, they found a large number of traces left by humans. If Chen was traveling with the underground people, they might go to the underground people's base.
The underground people are likely to sacrifice the people on the ground in order to survive. Fortunately, Chen has the apostles to protect him, so there is no need to worry.
After briefly describing his hypothesis, Xing Shuyao raised his hand and pointed slightly west of the light strip. "We'll attack from this direction first. If Chen and the apostles launch an attack from inside the stronghold, we'll coordinate from the outside. If they plan to use their tactics to kill the [God] worshipped by the underground people, we'll occupy the high ground and use heavy weapons to assist in the hunt."
"Great, great, let's prepare for both situations."
“As expected of you!”
"Let's go quickly, otherwise all the clues will be gone."
The students stood up one after another. The sand pit was so clean that it looked like it had been burned by fire. It was not worth wasting time at all.
Everyone returned to their normal pace, moving forward at a steady pace that was 2 to 30 percent faster than the underground people.
They are led by those with physical strength in the front, those with auxiliary abilities and those who use special items release their abilities in the middle, and those with special abilities are led, held, and rested at the end of the team in turns.
The fog was thick and human figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Xinnaya floated leisurely in the air. With her vision, she could clearly see people's movements and launch attacks at any time.
But she was not about to do that because her mind was completely absorbed in the topic just discussed.
So that’s how it is. I think I understand Chen Xiao’er a little bit now.
After repeated reflection, the devil developed a sense of superiority from reading a wide range of information and gaining a glimpse of the overall situation:
If the mediocre people in this group are at the first level, they only know how to follow other people's plans and chase Chen Xiao'er's footsteps.
The cunning guy was on the second level. He knew he needed to cooperate with Chen Xiao'er's plan and took the initiative to stay away so as not to be affected by the changes when the plan started.
Chen Xiao'er is on the third floor. Not only does she want to wipe out those underground people and destroy their so-called "gods", she is also setting up an unknown trap to plot against me.
And I saw through it all.
So now I am standing on the fourth floor, above Chen Xiao'er!
Hahaha, go away, you bunch of useless humans!
Chen Xiao'er, I'm so horny—I can't wait to ruin your plans.
I will destroy everything you have and then pull your hair to ask you what "not important at all" means!
The factor of joy surged in the body, and the purple light ball emitted circles of light in the air, blowing the thick mist everywhere.
…
The atmosphere in the underground stronghold was deathly quiet.
The tribesmen who were running around didn't dare to breathe. They took the plate of peas from the chef and ran out without delaying for a moment.
The cook threw the torn towel viciously, and she puffed out her cheeks and stuck her head towards the soup pot, looking like a giant turtle about to spit water.
The kitchen helper hugged the cook's big belly tightly and tried to persuade her: "My dear mother, my dear mother! Sister, please don't make things more complicated. We still need to throw [that stuff] in. If you spit it out, be careful what you scoop up with the spoon!"
"xx!" The cook, who was neither his mother nor his sister, retracted her neck and cursed in the dirtiest way possible.
No wonder she was so angry. Who did the leader bring back today?
Normally, prisoners would have their legs broken and tied up, but these two women walked in straight ahead, not only wearing eye-catching clothes, but they even dared to sit down and order food!
Just order it. Although feeding the sacrifices is indeed a waste of food, you can get a lot of rewards after offering the sacrifices, so it is not unacceptable to feed them something - bullshit!
"What the hell are you talking about? Fish, shrimp, crab, boiled chicken, stewed lamb, and even horse mushrooms need to be fried in flour and oil. She can't die from eating the best food!"
The cook angrily picked up the kitchen knife and cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
Oil and flour are not allowed to be added. Even for the last meal before execution, there is no rule to force the use of oil and flour.
She didn't care about the shameless girl's nonsense like "I'll pay", "The service center should have it", "Is there strawberry parfait", etc.
Give money? If money was useful, they would have moved to the ground long ago!
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.
The cook chopped up all the small white mushrooms grown in the humus, then pushed the chopped mushrooms into the water and added a handful of strong-smelling wild vegetables.
These wild vegetables are not good things. Even the people underground know that the plants grown outside without any treatment are full of radiation and pollution.
But the cook doesn't care about that. The sacrifice will die tomorrow morning, so why should he care about whether it radiates or not? That's called radiation!
The dark grey leaves created circles of muddy brown in the boiling water. When the muddy soup boiled over the edge of the pot, the cook quickly put out the fire to avoid wasting firewood.
The kitchen helper took out a broken beaker from his arms and dripped a few drops of dark red liquid into the soup.
The two men looked careless, but they were very cautious when dripping the liquid, as if they wanted to stick their legs out the door.
This thing certainly has color and flavor, all made up for by a pot of rich broth.
Anyway, according to the leader, this strange poison is sweet. If something as delicious as sugar is, wouldn't the people on Earth be able to resist eating it over and over again?
Even if you only take a few sips, the good thing about the strange toxin extracted from the creatures of the abyss is that it is poisonous enough.
The principle is very simple. This thing is some kind of digestive fluid. When a person with super powers swallows it, it will start to destroy organs rich in super powers from the inside. It will take effect when drunk just like alcohol.
Even better, the person wouldn't die even if the food was half-digested, making it a perfect place to offer it to the gods. It's like marinating it beforehand and mashing it to make it easier to eat, similar to how humans make mashed potatoes.
"Okay, bring it over to me."
The cook stared at the soup bowl and blew out a breath: "Eat, eat, eat, I'll let you eat. You've eaten so many of our good things, and now I'm going to let you taste the taste of your intestines being ruptured!"
…
"This broad bean... is quite delicious."
Chen Xiao'er sat on a tall wooden chair, with her senior schoolmate sitting on her left, and people surrounding her.
No one picked up their chopsticks, which made people feel creepy.
She put the spoon back into the bowl with a fake smile on her face, her mouth full of sourness: She really wanted to take a big sip of ice yogurt to suppress the taste in her mouth, but there was no ice yogurt here, and the water was still bitter - what kind of service area is this!
She began to miss military training, but at least the ice cream in the amusement park was super delicious.
Chen Xiao'er looked at the boiled broad beans that had become a mess on the table, the whole-wheat bread that could prick her lips, the pig's blood pudding, and the eggs boiled in soy sauce, and she felt unwell.
Even though I know there is a "scenic spot" premium, it's really a shame to pay for this kind of food.
She looked at Zero pitifully. The senior turned her face gently and pushed the offal stew next to her: "Want to eat this? Do you need me to peel it for you?"
This peeling does not refer to peeling the internal organs, but to the crustaceans in the mixed soup that look a bit like cockroaches.
Gurgle.
Chen Xiao'er swallowed the boiled beans in her mouth with difficulty and shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no, I'm full!"
Huh~
The villagers gathered around the table breathed a sigh of relief, you finally had your fill.
You soak the starch packets that we are reluctant to eat in water and gulp them down. You stir the abnormal growths that we dare not eat in big mouthfuls and swallow them in one gulp. If you eat them again, your food reserves for next month will be used up!
The team leader's face darkened to a smudge. "People on Earth are just so pretentious. Just eat it, and then you put on a very forced, sour face. Not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, don't eat it."
"Mushroom soup is here~~~"
The kitchen helper came over with a big bowl of hot soup, smiling. His feet scraped the ground and he brought the bowl to the table with a bang.
The soup, like muddy soup, swayed in front of her eyes, rolling up one or two mysterious brown mushrooms.
Alas.
Chen Xiao'er's face instantly fell. What the hell was this? She absolutely didn't want to eat it.
But the team leader suddenly became energetic, and even the surrounding villagers became enthusiastic.
They smiled nervously like the kitchen helpers, giggled and helped her serve the soup, and placed it in front of her excitedly.
"Oh, girl, drink it while it's hot. Let me tell you, this mushroom soup is a specialty here! It's so, so delicious, so good! So delicious!"
The team leader was talking with saliva flying everywhere, but fortunately the saliva flew quite far and landed directly in the empty basin at the edge.
Chen Xiao'er widened her eyes and made sure that the leader's fingers did not touch the soup before she took it tremblingly.
Fortunately it’s not chicken soup…
She was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, and she made up her mind, held the bowl to her lips and tilted it up hard!
