Chapter 148 Meow meow meow
After the two guests left, the simple porridge shop returned to peace again.
The lights were still on, the porridge on the stove was still warm, the young store manager was still standing outside, the big silver dog was dozing beside him, and the simple waiter Niutou was ready to serve rock sugar and pear tea to new customers at any time.
The wind chimes on the door curtain swayed gently, revealing a clear and pleasant sound.
The simple porridge shop is quietly waiting for the next customer...
Not far away.
It began to snow, a sudden snowstorm, and before long the snow had piled up behind the knees of grown men.
The young man was wrapped in a wide cloak, his hood was covered with snow, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with white frost.
The pair of dark eyes watched Wang Rong and Wang Tao go away, then refocused on the small tricycle with the light on.
He didn't know how long he sat in the dark.
It seemed that only a few hours had passed, but it also seemed that tens of thousands of years had passed. In the cold snow, he gradually lost track of the boundaries between time...
The young man's eyelashes drooped.
As he breathed, the air in front of him turned into white mist.
The snow and wind gradually dissipated, and the young man's face could be seen clearly.
That was an impressive face.
Half of her face was as beautiful as the bright light of a lonely moon in the sky. Her lips were thin, but they did not make people feel cold. Her dark eyes rarely contained strong emotions, but they could make people feel at ease and trustful, and willing to give their lives to her.
If Wang Rong and Wang Tao, who had just left, saw this half face, they would probably widen their eyes and scream.
Because, that was the face of Mu Dongsheng, the former S-class mercenary and savior of the Oriental Base, who had long been declared dead!
Along with Mu Dongsheng's legendary fame and stories is his outstanding appearance.
Since Mu Dongsheng became an adult, he has received a lot of love letters every year. There are not many people who can write in this day and age, but countless young men and women take advantage of the little free time they have after returning from a mission to learn to write stroke by stroke under the lamplight, just to clumsily write a love letter to express their feelings to Mu Dongsheng.
Like every protagonist in a novel, it was once a face blessed by God.
……'once'.
Because now, half of Mu Dongsheng's face is still as noble, beautiful and bright, but the other half is completely alienated.
That is not half of a human face.
Anyone who sees the remaining half of the face will inevitably scream the word "monster".
It is difficult to describe that half face in words, but anyone who sees it with the naked eye will be completely surrounded by the dark and indescribable fear, trembling all over and unable to utter a word.
In the void as deep as a black hole in the universe, there was a mouth that was whispering vague words. Translucent tentacles grew out of the mouth, encircling the thin young man in a possessive and even slightly morbid posture.
The mouth said:
"Hungry... so hungry... Ah Sheng, give me some food... I want... I want Ah Sheng..."
The normal half of Mu Dongsheng's face pursed his lips and said nothing.
There was no color in his face.
Gurgle!
There was a loud growl from the stomach, indicating that the owner of this body was hungry.
——At the same time, far away in another dimension, countless viewers in the live broadcast room were screaming.
[Ahhhhhhh, is this the real living Mu Dongsheng? ? ? So handsome ahhhhhhhh! ! ! ! 】
[Sangbao, come and give your mother some stickers, woooo]
[It turns out that Mu Dongsheng was already possessed by the S-level pollutant 'Meteoric Kiss' at this time. I thought it was something that happened later.]
[Fuck, the atmosphere is so bitter, outside of the crowd, I love it... (drooling)]
[Is Mu Dongsheng actually here at this time? Orz, other anchors have been looking for him for a long time but couldn’t find him. How could they bump into this NPC who was setting up a stall?]
[What kind of NPC is this?] This is our 24k gold. This is the embodiment of the law of cause and effect. This is Mr. Jian, the boss of the most powerful snack stand in the universe! ! ! ! ! Boss Jian and I are so close! ! ! ! How lucky were those two siblings who got lost in the wilderness to actually run into Boss Jian?]
[To be honest, I feel that Mu Dongsheng's appearance here is not a coincidence. Having just merged with the S-level pollutant, both of them must be very hungry. At this time, a snack stand filled with the aroma of porridge appeared in the wilderness... They must chase after it no matter how far away it is... What's more surprising is that they didn't take action immediately. Ahem, they are still a little restrained.]
[Mu Dongsheng is simply beautiful, strong and miserable]
[I feel so sad when I see him QAQ]
…
In the plane of "Abnormal Era", in the Death Desert.
The simple porridge shop not far away was wrapped in lights, and everything seemed so quiet and warm.
But the place where Mu Dongsheng was was bitterly cold.
The accumulated ice and snow had buried him up to his waist, but he still sat in the frost with his eyelids drooped, as if he didn't feel the cold.
Only very occasionally would he raise his eyes and cast a longing glance towards the warm porridge shop not far away.
Hungry.
So hungry.
His entire stomach curled up and spasmed because of emptiness. If someone could hand him a bowl of hot porridge at this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that Mu Dongsheng would be willing to give everything, including his life.
This hunger started many days ago and has become more and more intense over the past few days.
Seven days ago, Mu Dongsheng's memory of everything became vague.
That day, he and Li Zhou led a team together to carry out an ordinary mission.
Everything should have been simple and normal, just like any other ordinary day. According to their abilities, they would be able to complete the task and return to the base for lunch in less than half a day.
It could be said that he was confident or conceited, but Mu Dongsheng didn't even bring any rations that day.
Until that moment, the moment the S-class alien arrived.
All the order that maintained Mu Dongsheng's past world...completely collapsed.
Everything in front of me was shaking - the screams of people around me, the roar of incoming pollutants, and the sound of weapons colliding. Mu Dongsheng had been through many battles and should have had no fear of any alien species, but for some reason, he was a little out of shape that day.
And there is Li Zhou.
Li Zhou, the childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, Li Zhou who made a pinky promise to be together forever when they were eighteen, Li Zhou who said that she would fight alongside him no matter what desperate situation they faced... and Li Zhou who had planned for this betrayal for a long time.
At the moment the alien attacked, Li Zhou, who was well prepared, reached into his back and peeled out his S-level lightning crystal core.
The last thing in Mu Dongsheng's memory was Li Zhou holding the bloody supernatural crystal core, with a twisted smile that looked like fear and pride on his lips:
"Don't blame me, Mu Dongsheng. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for trusting others and climbing so high. Who do you think you are? Why can you call the shots while I am only worthy of being your shadow, your foil?"
"I think you are just like me, a piece of filth!"
After saying this, Li Zhou turned around and fled, leaving behind Mu Dongsheng, whose supernatural crystal core had been dissected out alive.
Mu Dongsheng should be terrified.
He felt no fear, terror, despair or even sadness.
The strongest and only feeling that permeated my entire body was...
hunger.
Hunger is gnawing at my internal organs like maggots.
The huge monster hiding in the shadows came up and greedily wrapped Mu Dongsheng up, gradually becoming inseparable...
Mu Dongsheng didn't want to recall what happened afterwards.
He thought he was already dead.
In other words, he was indeed dead, and the one who survived was a walking corpse being invaded by an alien species. A shell.
Mu Dongsheng, who had turned into a shell, lay in the snow in the wilderness for seven days and seven nights.
In the endless snowstorm, being eaten away by hunger bit by bit, at that moment when it seemed that even the sanity of being a human being was about to completely disappear——
A light lit up in the wilderness.
Along with the sound of laughter and conversation, a small tricycle came from a distance with a humming sound. The stove was lit, and the aroma of porridge and hot air wafted out. Between the sparse lights, the plaque could be seen:
'Simple porridge shop'.
Mu Dongsheng's unconscious pupils turned slowly, and his dry lips trembled slightly.
Is that a... porridge shop?
“…”
The porridge shop is so close, so close.
It was so close that it seemed that as long as Mu Dongsheng stood up and took two steps forward, the young and handsome store manager would come up to him with smiling eyes, say "Welcome" to him with a warm mist, welcome him in, and serve him hot porridge.
Just feeling the firelight coming from afar and smelling the warm aroma of porridge mixed in the cold wind, Mu Dongsheng closed his eyes and couldn't help but imagine the feeling of sitting in front of the shop and drinking porridge.
The heat from the crackling charcoal fire should be warm;
The flickering lanterns leaking light, the softly ringing wind chimes, the dozing dog;
And the hot porridge freshly served from the casserole, after taking a sip, should be hot and smooth, which can instantly warm up one's internal organs...
Everything in this place is extremely desirable.
There were a few moments when Mu Dongsheng almost wanted to give up everything. He walked forward regardless of anything and said, "Boss, I want to buy a bowl of porridge."
But, it doesn’t work.
Mu Dongsheng lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
The muttering of the pollutants entangled with him became louder and louder, even carrying an anxious and faintly threatening tone:
"Ah Sheng...hungry...ruined...ruined..."
He also needs to eat.
If Mu Dongsheng straightened his neck and refused to eat a bite, then He, who was in the same body with Mu Dongsheng, would not die, but would also feel the same hunger and despair.
Mu Dongsheng could feel that the aroma of porridge wafting from not far away made him more and more restless.
The porridge shop owner would probably not welcome such an uninvited guest.
Mu Dongsheng had no doubt that the moment he walked into the porridge shop, the monster that occupied his body would break out and devour everything.
That small fire in the snowy desert, the fire that brings blessings and protection to passing travelers, will probably be extinguished because of this.
He originally thought that he had long lost all his human rationality, emotions, and empathy. But I didn't expect that at this moment, that damn desire to protect was still at work.
But the bone-eating hunger became more and more intense...
