Chapter 111: Borrowing Life
Song Yuqing held her breath unconsciously. Teacher Fu's pair of vicissitudes and gentle eyes encompassed her and the little girl beside her.
Teacher Fu smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and nodded at them, then turned back to stare at the computer screen again, pressed a few keys, and Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao retreated silently and without feeling anything back to Song Yuqing's dim and narrow space.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao looked at each other and supported each other to avoid falling to the ground.
Song Yuqing: ...
She actually felt a little embarrassed. She'd been caught peeping! She'd been chased back! And they hadn't figured out anything yet!
Little Meat Bun also lowered his head and touched his nose.
After coming out of the space, Song Yuqing refrained from discussing the matter of Teacher Fu or Master Fu with others. He first distributed supplies to the people who were crowded in the God's Supermarket to avoid the acid rain and settled everyone.
For some reason, the old man who had been out had returned to God's Supermarket and brought back dozens of zombies.
Not only Song Yuqing, everyone was curious about where the old man had killed the zombies, and they were all eager to try.
But the old man kept his mouth shut, preferring to be scolded for being unkind rather than tell anyone where he had killed the zombie.
Seeing that the old man was pursing his lips tightly and holding the corner of his clothes tightly in his hands, Song Yuqing knew that the old man was worried about something, so he took the initiative to help him out.
The old man used all the zombie bodies to exchange for acid rain-proof cloth. He set up a small stall under the Chinese tallow tree with the cloth in his arms and made a simple roof with the acid rain-proof cloth.
The acid rain fell continuously.
The old man borrowed two shelf boards from Song Yuqing, one long and one short. The long one was used to make tools, and the short one was used to write signs.
The sign he wrote read: "I don't know how long this acid rain will last, but my umbrellas and raincoats are available 24 hours a day. Give me a minute, and I'll give you an umbrella and a raincoat. Limit ten purchases per person."
Song Yuqing and everyone else crowded at the door, watching the old man put the handwritten sign in front of the stall.
"Old man, what does this mean?"
"I don't have much time left, so I want to spend some time with everyone. If everyone gives me a minute, I can live longer."
After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"Is this borrowing life?"
The old man didn't deny it: "So one person can only buy an umbrella from me ten times."
Song Yuqing looked at the words on the sign, thoughtful.
Although she didn't understand why the old man did this, she vaguely felt that she should support him.
Liu Xiaona stared with her eyes wide open: "Grandpa, how are you going to take one minute of other people's time?" Is she really confused?
The old man looked at the people in the God's Supermarket and smiled calmly: "I am a time master, I have my own ways."
"So you are a time-based person!"
"This is the first time I've seen a person with time abilities!"
"Ah! I've heard of you! Are you the one who went to the lab at Base Zero?!"
The old man lowered his head to make an umbrella, and the noisy voices seemed far away from him.
Song Yuqing and the shop assistants looked at each other, and they confirmed their eyes, confirming that the other party was thinking of Shen She, the little adult-like child.
"This ability is truly unique!"
"Make me an umbrella quickly, I'll trade one minute of my life for yours!"
"No one else has this special ability like you. You can take other people's lives at will!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and a trace of fear flowed into the air.
Don’t think too much!
“I won’t do that.” The old man didn’t even look up, concentrating on making umbrellas, cutting the long roll of acid rain-proof fabric into pieces.
Song Yuqing: "Your time ability is different from another time ability user I know. His time ability only allows time to partially rewind or blur time."
The old man paused for a second, two seconds, three seconds, and finally spoke: "If you use that ability too much, it will backfire. The longer you use it, the shorter your lifespan will be."
Song Yuqing thought of the last time he video chatted with Shen She, when Shen She already looked like a young man, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
She looked at the old man carefully again, observing his eyebrows, his nose bridge, and his face shape.
A bold guess came to my mind.
“Ding ding~”
A message alert sounded from the computer, interrupting the storm in Song Yuqing's head.
"What? There's internet?!" Liu Xiaona excitedly jumped over to the computer. News came in: there was internet, so they could contact all the bases. No need to worry anymore. God's Supermarket was the last place to survive.
Song Yuqing and Liu Xiaona rushed to look at the computer screen, with anticipation on their faces.
However, the information that popped up on the computer screen did not belong to any base.
A message without a sender.
"I don't know if you've guessed it, but I'm Master Fu, but I'm not Master Fu. I sincerely advise you not to come here again. The truth you want to know is not important. Just live well. Survive first and then we can discuss other things. Don't worry, your Master Fu will be back in your God's Supermarket soon."
Xiaoyi was originally at the cashier counter. With Song Yuqing's permission, he leaned over to look at the information on the computer.
"What does this mean?"
Song Yuqing nodded: "I don't know either."
I don't quite understand.
This message was sent by Teacher Fu, right?
The world where Teacher Fu lives can be directly connected to the world she lives in. But why?
Furthermore, Teacher Fu pressed a button, and she and Little Meat Bun were sent back to the dimension. Why was that? Are the two worlds related in some way?
Also, why does the world where Teacher Fu lives seem to be magnified several times? Are they shrunk in the glass tube, or are the proportions of things in the two worlds different?
Also, why is the underwater city in the parallel world the intermediary to enter Teacher Fu’s world?
Also, what is the relationship between Master Fu and Teacher Fu?
Why is there a picture of God’s Supermarket on Teacher Fu’s computer screen?
Everything is unknown.
Confused, Song Yuqing felt that his brain was a blurry, sticky mess.
But, Master Fu is coming back!
The four employees of God's Supermarket instantly smiled happily.
"When will Master Fu come back? How soon is soon? What on earth has he been doing?" Liu Xiaona smiled for a few seconds, then suddenly her smile turned fierce. She slapped the table hard, but was punched on the arm by Song Yuqing.
"Why did you hit me?" Liu Xiaona felt very aggrieved.
Song Yuqing pouted at Xiaoyi: "Don't scare Xiaoyi."
Xiaoyi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it won't scare me..."
Liu Xiaona looked at Xiaoyi's little face, which was obviously pale with fear, and scratched her head in shame.
"Master Fu, who is it?" Xiaoyi asked cautiously.
She would hear this name from the mouths of the employees in God's Supermarket from time to time, sometimes in conversations, sometimes in soliloquy.
"The boss behind our God's Supermarket. He comes and goes without a trace."
