Chapter 43 Watching the Show
"I know him! He was the one who drove us, mother and son, out! We were almost eaten by zombies!" The old woman's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she pointed at Feng Tianxi with a hateful look.
"Oh~Is that so." Xia Yan looked at the two of them thoughtfully.
The hairs on the boy's back stood up, and a strong sense of crisis surged over him. He nodded hurriedly to agree with his mother, "We are from the same base, but he is usually domineering and doesn't like us. We left because we couldn't live in the base anymore."
Feng Tianxi also recognized the two people at this time, and was even more surprised. He smashed the transparent facade with even more force.
"Does that mean there's a grudge?" Xia Yan leaned forward as if interested.
Feng Tianxi inside broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He had indeed just offended two people. If he said something bad about them again at this moment, he would be even more hopeless.
But the sound was blocked and could not be transmitted at all. Seeing the mother and son looking at him, Feng Tianxi knelt down in desperation, clasped his hands together with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed several times.
The old woman was startled and took a few steps back.
When will the high-and-mighty Feng Tianxi kneel down and beg for mercy? The sun is rising from the west!
Thinking of the injustices she suffered at the base, the old woman's eyes turned red as she cried out in anger and grief, "It's more than just hatred! I wish I could eat him alive! If it weren't for Feng Tianxi's interference, how could my husband die! How could my child not be able to go on missions and have to do the lowest level of hard labor every day?!"
Doesn't he have supernatural powers? Xia Yan looked at the boy. He had a face full of suppressed frustration, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Feng Tianxi.
Xia Yan didn't intend to delve into the entanglement between the three people. It was meaningless to her.
It’s enough to know that this mother and son are not in the same group as Feng Tianxi.
She smiled faintly and nodded, then said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, but the restaurant is closed today. Please go to the breakfast machine in front to buy breakfast."
Fortunately, the old woman was not a talkative person and she did not insist on telling others about her pain or getting sympathy from strangers.
She just glared at Feng Tianxi fiercely, wiped away her tears, and walked with the boy to the breakfast machine to order the cheapest pancake.
Their crystal cores won't last for a few days, so they have to be used sparingly.
After buying breakfast, the two went back upstairs.
Feng Tianxi didn't expect that the two of them had also checked into the hotel and even threw stones at him at the critical moment.
His only hope now is Feng Bei, and he just hopes that she can come back soon.
Half an hour later, the boy went downstairs alone, apparently planning to go out and kill zombies to save crystal cores.
The old woman remained alone upstairs, praying for her son's safe return.
......
As night fell, the hotel turned on its lights, becoming the only beacon in the ruined city.
The boy wiped the rotten blood off his face, pried open the zombie's head, and reached in to feel for the small crystal core inside.
His ability level is not high enough, and his physical fitness cannot be fully restored after a meal, so he can only look for lone first-level zombies.
Not all zombies have crystal cores in their heads. No one knows the principle of how crystal cores are generated, and no one knows which zombie has a crystal core in its head.
Everything depends on fate.
Regardless of the color of the crystal core, crystal cores of the same level have the same energy.
Suddenly, he touched a sharp, hard object.
Crystal core!
The boy was delighted. He pulled out the crystal core with force, wiped it clean on the zombie's tattered clothes, and carefully put it into his inner pocket.
Inside was his harvest for today, three first-level crystal cores!
I have to go back quickly, my mother must be worried.
The boy raised his head and looked at the only light source in the ruins, and a feeling of happiness surged in his heart.
Maybe it's hope.
......
At the door, the old woman rubbed her hands nervously and looked into the distance, until she saw a familiar figure appear at the end of the street, and then she felt relieved.
"Little one! Come quickly!"
The boy quickened his pace, his lips curled up, and seeing that his mother was safe and sound, he felt relieved.
Hard work does pay off.
"Take a rest, little boy. Are you okay?" The old woman held the boy's arm and checked him anxiously.
"It's okay! I'm not hurt at all!" The boy smiled happily and wanted to pick up his mother and spin around.
He can finally provide a roof over his mother's head in this apocalyptic world! This feeling is so great!
"Then hurry upstairs and wash up, and come down quickly after dinner. The boss said we'll be treated to a play tonight!"
Watch a show?
The boy then noticed that all the customers were in the living room, and some of them were simply sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating their boxed lunches.
The old woman was afraid that the female boss would get anxious waiting, so she took his arm and walked upstairs.
In the hall, Xia Yan walked indifferently to the door of the restaurant, where Feng Bei was diligently cleaning.
"Hurry up and don't waste everyone's time."
Feng Bei nodded in panic, not even wiping the sweat off his head, and his hands moved even faster.
She originally planned to come back for lunch at noon and then go out to find a place to hide, but she didn't expect to see Feng Tianxi in mid-air as soon as she stepped into the hall.
"Dad!" After a scream, she rushed over, but bumped into a transparent hard object.
Something's locked up Dad! What is it?!
Feng Tianxi inside saw that Feng Bei had finally arrived, and he cried even more excitedly, pointing at his throat and then at Xia Yan on the sofa, making an unknown whimpering sound.
"What did you do to my father! Let him out!" Feng Bei ran to Xia Yan, and under her fierce gaze, he changed his hand from grabbing her collar to grabbing his own pants.
Xia Yan didn't waste any time and directly showed her the surveillance footage.
Feng Bei's face turned paler the more he looked at it.
What a stupid thing he did!
Seeing the food thrown on the ground, Feng Bei was so angry that he almost fainted. Are you kidding me! That's food!
After the video was played, Xia Yan grabbed Feng Bei by the back of her collar with a cold face and threw her into the restaurant.
"Clean up the inside."
Feng Bei was about to retort when Xia Yan said lightly, "If we can't finish this, neither of us will survive."
Then she heard Feng Tianxi shouting, "Good daughter! Listen to the boss! Save Daddy!"
Then there was silence again.
Feng Bei was originally a little afraid of Xia Yan, who did not show his emotions on his face, but now he had no choice but to obey him. He honestly picked up the tools beside him and started cleaning.
Xia Yan threw over a few large plastic bags, motioned for her to throw the debris into them, then turned and left.
Although she was not here to supervise, Feng Bei still did not dare to mess around. After all, her father's life was in her hands.
She mopped the floor several times, cleaned the walls, and cleaned the glass, cabinets, and robots. She was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.
Looking at the clean restaurant, she breathed a sigh of relief and planned to ask the boss to come in and check. After the inspection was qualified, he could let them go, right?
Feng Bei rubbed her aching waist, harboring an inappropriate hope in her heart. She hoped that Boss Xia was a kind person and wouldn't dwell on such a trivial matter...
She came to the hall and found that all the customers were sitting or standing in the hall. They turned their heads to look at her with eyes full of hatred, as if they wanted to eat her alive!
Feng Bei was puzzled and thought that everyone was dissatisfied because they could not eat in the restaurant.
She snorted in her heart, thinking that these people were living as if they had never had a good meal.
Isn't it just that I didn't eat at the restaurant? Is it necessary to look at her like this?
Feng Bei was about to call Boss Xia, but suddenly heard a familiar voice and unbearable cursing.
!!!
Feng Bei turned his head very stiffly, and sure enough, he saw the surveillance playback on the screen.
