Chapter 70

The round-faced girl walked forward tremblingly and entered a shop, this time it was an egg fried rice shop. She knocked on the door, looked at the owner and asked, "Excuse me, may I come in?"

The boss smiled and said, "Sure. Would you like one serving of fried rice or two?"

Blue Backpack said, "One portion. We're not too hungry now."

The boss looked at their sweaty and pale faces, smiled, and said, "I know but I won't tell you." He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you some fried rice, okay?"

They both nodded.

The boss pointed them in a direction, which was a dark corner of the store: "You can sit there. It's the only place without any customers."

Round Face and Blue Backpack were sitting in the corner. They suddenly felt much colder than standing outside the door. They shivered and looked at each other and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong here?"

Blue Backpack said, "It's dark and cold in here, which is really weird. The table seems a little dirty, mainly because it feels a little greasy, but it may also be because the table is brown."

The round-faced man said, "I'm having a little trouble breathing. I wonder if it's because it's too high up here."

When the two of them were speechless, the boss came over with egg fried rice.

"please."

The boss put the things down and turned away.

Round Face whispered to Blue Backpack, "I think it's weird that the boss always smiles. Normally, bosses wouldn't smile like that after customers come into the store. But he's still very happy. What is he happy about?"

Blueback said, "We need to find a way to get out of here, but what if we try every store and still can't get out?"

The round face moved its pale lips: "Then we may die here."

Blue Backpack nodded, lowered his eyes silently, picked up the spoon and stirred the fried rice.

The round-faced girl held the chopsticks and tried to stir the chopped green onions and eggs in the egg fried rice. She found a pair of bright red eyes underneath. After looking into her eyes, she smiled, revealing the white teeth between her eyes.

Round Face pinched his eyeballs and said to Blue Backpack, "Look, these little white teeth are like rice grains. They are quite cute, aren't they?"

Blue Backpack took a look, nodded, and said with a smile: "I wonder how it tastes."

The round-faced man put the eyeball into his mouth, chewed it twice, and said with a smile: "It tastes super bad. It seems to have mustard and ketchup in it. I don't know why it is mixed like this, but I guarantee that when I open my mouth now, the inside of my mouth is red. It tastes so bad..."

Tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes because she was stung by the mustard.

The blue backpack turned out a bunch of hair from the fried rice. The hair was still tied with a red hairband. A closer look revealed that it was covered with a layer of milky white sticky grease, like solidified lard, and a little bright red blood dripping on the surface. It quickly fell along the edge of the spoon and fell into the fried rice. The fried rice was yellow-white and suddenly turned red.

He stuffed his hair into his mouth and said to the round-faced man, "It tastes like chocolate and soy sauce, and a little bit of chili powder. I ate a Sichuan peppercorn, and a bunch of meaningless nagging from old ladies before they dance in the square. Nonsense, nonsense, go to hell, ungrateful bastard, unfilial son, garbage, so disgusting..."

Lan Baokuai swallowed the hair, and when he saw that there was still some fried rice, he almost vomited it out.

His face was faintly green.

The round-faced man glanced at him and said, "If you're not feeling well, it's okay if you don't rush to eat."

Blue Backpack shook his head: "No, let's eat faster and then go to other stores. Maybe after we finish eating, we can go home."

Round Face said, "I hope so, but I can't guarantee it."

She paused. "Let me be clear. Even if we finish eating, we may die on the way instead of leaving here."

Blue Backpack took a deep breath and smiled unkindly: "Let's continue eating."

The round-faced man nodded.

They finished their egg fried rice, stood up, paid, and left the shop.

Then they entered the pig's trotter noodle shop, where the pig's trotter was a rotten white human hand that tasted like banana.

The third shop sold rice noodles with soy sauce and eggs. The rice noodles were transparent, the eggs were yellow, and the soy sauce was black. When I was halfway through eating, there was a terrified human face in the plate and a rubber taste in my mouth.

The fourth shop sells red oil noodles. The noodles are hollow inside. A closer look reveals that they are red, like small intestines. When they were almost finished eating, their mouths suddenly smelled of flowers. Some people couldn't help but vomit, and found that there were not noodles on the ground, but green wriggling worms. They couldn't help but vomit all over the ground again.

The fifth store is a self-service supermarket. At the door is fermented yogurt recommended for passers-by to eat. Next to it is a small stall selling cold skin, cold noodles, cold rice cakes, brown sugar ginger water, candied haws and tomato scrambled egg rice.

These things all look normal.

The passers-by who gathered here looked at the food, choked, and staggered towards the stall like zombies.

Because there were so many people, the yogurt was snapped up in no time. Then people went to the stall next door and said to the stall owner through the glass: "Give us one portion! Anything. Something cheaper."

Some people started vomiting again. The people around them were used to it and just walked a little further away to prevent their clothes from being soiled by the vomit and the wind.

People who ate the yogurt vomited out their own brains. Although no one knew how they vomited it out, after they vomited, their brains suddenly became empty, their skulls sank, their eyes rolled up, and they lay on the ground, dead. Their two black eyeballs rolled out from under their tightly closed eyelids, spun twice on the ground, and hit the stall next to them like black glass beads.

There was also glass under the stall. The two objects collided with each other with a bang, and the eyeball shattered into a black paste, emitting a smell of a mixture of brown sugar and dark chocolate.

The people who had eaten the cool skin started to cry out that they were hot, and then took off their clothes. They still felt that it was not enough, so they took off their own skins and threw them on the ground, and then stepped on them twice. The people lay on the ground, covered in blood and bright red, and were dead.

Those who ate the cold noodles were sweating profusely and their faces were red. Their tears, snot and sweat all fell into the bowl without cold noodles. When they lowered their heads, their heads also fell into the bowl and turned into a pile of red peppers.

The person who ate the cold cake cried out that he was very cold, and he lay on the ground hugging himself. His teeth lined up to pull himself out of his mouth, and he climbed up the stool, climbed into the plate, lay flat, and turned into a new cold cake.

After someone drank the brown sugar ginger water, the person lay on the ground, held his abdomen, rolled over, shouted twice, and then stopped moving. His limbs melted and turned into a red paste, emitting a pungent smell of ginger juice.

The stall owner stretched out a long spoon and stirred the ground. The dead bodies turned into a paste and turned into sticky brown sugar ginger water.

Some people eat candied haws and take a bite, biting off their teeth without realizing it, because their teeth have become the transparent, crispy sugar coating on the surface of the candied haws with a slightly browned color. With a series of crunching sounds, their teeth disappear, and the sugar coating of their candied haws also disappears because they have swallowed it.

The person who was eating tomato fried rice hid the farthest, thinking he was fine. While eating, he suddenly choked on his trachea. He covered his throat and lay on the ground. He found that he was mute and vomited a lot of blood. He also vomited out a yellow egg, an uncooked yellow-white sticky liquid that was slightly green. He even vomited out the rice, but upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a lot of maggots.

Those who were still alive rolled their eyes and lay on the ground, unconscious, even the bench they were sitting on was overturned.

Jongin turned into a normal human, hugged Paradise and said, "They all look the same."

Rakuen nodded.

Jongin asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Rakuen looked at the shivering students and said, "We should follow them and continue up the mountain. This is not the top yet."

Jongin smiled and said, “Okay.”

He pulled Paradise over and said, "Let's go!"

After discussing with the students, the teacher felt that this place was indeed dangerous, so he nodded and agreed to their proposal.

A strong wind blew over, and everyone felt very cold. No one thought that if two people huddled together they would get sticky and hot. They wanted to stuff themselves into the fire and looked towards the paradise with envy.

Jongin held Leyuan in his arms and walked up step by step very steadily, whispering in a low voice and smiling with his eyes curled.

“They have a really good relationship.”

"Fuck, why don't I have friends like that?"

"Why aren't they dead yet?"

"What a fucking envy, wuwuwu, I'm scared, wuwuwuwu——"

A middle-aged man with black lumps wriggling all over his body was crawling on the ground, dragging his immobilized legs. As the stones rubbed his skin, blood flowed out from under his skin. The bright red blood quickly fell on the ground and turned into dark red ink. His broken skin gradually squirmed outwards, as if it was a red crispy intestine cut by a knife. No one could bear to look at it.

After some time, the red part of the man's body turned out black, and the black part turned into strips of things. It was hard to tell whether they were flesh and blood, bones and flesh, or something wrapped in tattered cloth. It looked very miserable and pitiful.

Someone couldn't help but approach and try to help: "Excuse me, sir, how can I help you?"

The man said, "I am in so much pain. I want to go to the top of the mountain and jump into the well. I can reach the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. There is medicine in the Taoist temple that can cure my disease. Great!"
