Chapter 19 Hurricane Season 19 The truth at dawn, hurricane strikes!
Li Fu's eyes widened suddenly. Isn't she the shopkeeper?
She looked carefully and saw that although Jiang Runian looked gentle, she was actually angry. Ten years of being sisters was not for nothing. Li Fu immediately understood her thoughts.
"Yes, yes, the lobby of Qingshan Inn is under her management, and we are just helping her." Li Fu shook her head as she spoke, and her twin ponytails almost hit Chen Wu's face. "After all, Sister Liu is brave, strong, down-to-earth and reliable. We feel relieved to leave the lobby to her."
Chen Wu sneered: "Girl, the inn is far away, you probably haven't heard about her in Shuguang Town?"
Jiang Ruunian put down the teacup, seemingly gently, but with a loud bang.
She blinked her eyes and said innocently: "I've heard of it."
"Then why did you hire her? She could have seduced a girl your age—"
"I heard," Jiang Runian interrupted him and told the story, "a little girl's bird went missing, and her father wouldn't let her look for it. He locked her in the room and said, 'It's just a bird, someone must have roasted it and eaten it.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in Shuguang Town fell on Chen Wu.
Chen Wu's face turned darker and redder, looking extremely ugly.
The little girl who lost the bird is Rice.
Chen Wu ignored his daughter's need for companionship time and time again, and even wanted to throw away the little wooden bird.
Although the residents of Shuguang Town have a harmonious relationship, interpersonal relationships are inevitable when living together. Many parents have tactfully advised Chen Wu not to be too harsh on Dafanmi. But Chen Wu has always disliked the little girl's behavior. What's the point of crying about losing a bird? This is the end of the world. She doesn't think about how to make progress or survive all day long, but just plays!
Jiang Runian continued leisurely, "But the bird was the little girl's first good friend after she came to the apocalypse. It accompanied her all the way from the wasteland to Shuguang Town. She said that her family was either busy outside or quarreling at home every day, so she could only chat with the bird. When she arrived in Shuguang Town, she met more people of her age. They also liked the bird and were very anxious when the bird got lost. But none of the adults were willing to help them. What should they do? Fortunately, there was a big sister named Liu Yinshuang in the town who was willing to protect the bird."
No one in Shuguang Town said a word.
Originally they only despised Chen Wu, but in fact everyone was an executioner who destroyed innocence.
The apocalypse is coming, and every player is in a panic, especially those with families. It's already a hassle to take care of the adults, and add the elderly and children... The simplest way they can think of is to trap people in a small safe zone. Even though the surrounding area of Shuguang Town has been relatively stable, they ignore the companionship and spiritual needs of the elderly and children for the sake of convenience.
After an unknown amount of time, someone whispered, "Have you found the bird?"
Jiang Runian pursed his lips, indicating that Liu Yinshuang should answer in person.
The 1.82-meter-tall guy stood up awkwardly as if his name was called by the teacher in class, scratching his head: "I found the bird, but..."
"You're not going to die, are you?"
"That child must be very sad..."
"Brother Chen, this is really your fault."
…
Chen Wu was furious. He didn't know what kind of magic Qingshan Inn had cast. Before coming here, everyone had agreed to investigate Liu Yinshuang's background and build a good relationship with the inn. How come after coming here, they were going to attack him? !
He waved his hand and said, "Enough! Stop talking! It's just a bird talking!"
Seeing his arbitrary attitude, Liu Yinshuang thought of the grievances that Rice had suffered at home. She suddenly straightened her chest and took a big step to stand in front of Chen Wu.
"Why don't you let me say it? Are you afraid that people will know that the bird was thrown into the wasteland with the cage and burned to death?" Liu Yinshuang was a head taller than Chen Wu, so she could look down on him. "You are the only one in your family who goes out of town during the day, and you are the only one who can do such a rotten thing."
During those days, the children of Shuguang Town gathered quietly every day and went out of the town to look for the bird.
Grasslands, river banks, forests... a few little kids whose legs were not even as long as Liu Yinshuang's were climbing over mountains and crossing rivers and wading through water barefoot. When they got tired, they would take out some ham, apple and rice from their bags to eat, wipe the sweat off their face and continue looking.
When they reached the wasteland, Liu Yinshuang spotted a bird cage that didn't belong here. She wanted to find a reason to send Dafanmi away and secretly hide the bird cage, not wanting her to see this result, but Dafanmi had already trotted over and picked up the charred bird cage.
She asked: "Boss Liu...is it because the end of the world has come?"
Because of the end of the world, her father became cruel.
Because of the apocalypse, she can no longer go out to play.
Because of the doomsday, not even a little bird can survive?
Liu Yinshuang didn't know how to comfort people, and the other children just sobbed quietly.
Rice bit his lower lip hard, took the bird to the forest, dug a hole and buried it, without shedding a single tear.
"Daddy Rice, I know you don't like me. But," Liu Yinshuang clenched her fists, closed her eyes and mourned for the bird for three seconds, and when she opened her eyes again, she was extremely resolute, "Just because they are protected doesn't mean they are weak."
After hearing this, the adults in Shuguang Town also became worried.
Even though Damifan was accused by Chen Wu yesterday, she didn't say anything about it and didn't complain about her father at all.
Were they too harsh on a few-year-old child? The end of the world can destroy everything, and so can the cruelty of mothers and fathers.
Facing the condemnation of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Chen Wu's face turned pale. He felt a little remorseful, but in front of so many people, his dignity as a man made him unable to lower his head.
Chen Wu pushed Liu Yinshuang's shoulder hard, but she didn't move. He became even angrier, and turned to the other people in Shuguang Town and spat, "I wanted to see what kind of fancy things your Qingshan Inn has, but it's nothing special! A place like this where employees can talk nonsense must be full of problems!"
He pulled the arm of a man with whom he had a better relationship, but the man shook him off and quietly moved away from him.
Chen Wu: “……?”
"I haven't bought any attribute food yet, why are you leaving?"
"It's my turn to kill monsters tomorrow, and I plan to stay here."
"We came here for the inn, not for you..."
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, eh?
Chen Wu pushed aside the crowd that crowded the gate, turned around and spat on the threshold: "Don't blame me for speaking harshly, you may not be able to leave this kind of inn if you enter it!"
After saying that, Chen Wu ran towards the eastern forest without looking back.
"Is it appropriate to let him go back alone?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Hasn't he always claimed to be the strongest in Dawn?"
"Forget it, forget about him. Boss Jiang, can you still read the menu I just mentioned?"
Jiang Ruonian smiled and said, "Of course."
Li Fu was in charge of the menu of Qingshan Inn. She only cooked for as many tables as there were in the inn. After all, Jiang Ruonian was so efficient in developing new dishes that he had to renovate a new one every one or two days.
After a week, the exquisite and beautiful menu was filled with six major categories: meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, cold dishes, staple foods, snacks, and drinks, taking up an entire page.
The people from Shuguang Town held several menus and looked at them in amazement.
Spicy pork ribs?! Vinegar fried chicken?! Glutinous rice balls?! Cakes, desserts, and milk tea?! Is this what a doomsday game should have?!
Not only that, the menu also considerately marked the attribute buff in small print. Jiang Runian reminded: "After many tests, the attribute buff of the dish can only exist three times at the same time - of course, three overlapping attributes also count."
Three?! This is too extravagant!
You know, top players only eat one attribute dish at a time, but Qingshan Inn will directly give you three servings, and the total cost is only a hundred dollars!
The people in Shuguang Town discussed it together and decided to gather three tables of people based on their professional abilities and eat food with different buffs to maximize the benefits.
After checking in the three members of the Dawn Town Adventure Team, a gust of evil wind blew in through the door.
Li Fu straightened her messy hair and closed the door muttering, "It was calm just now, why is there a sudden strong wind?"
Since coming to this world, Li Fu has almost always stayed in Qingshan Inn and rarely went out. She thought it was just an ordinary windy and rainy day.
But the players of Dawn Town who had lived here for a year were immediately shocked when they heard it - this was obviously a precursor to a hurricane disaster!
"How could it happen so quickly?" Someone was already panicking. "We encountered a random natural disaster on the eighth day of the hurricane season... We only saw it once in the entire hurricane season last year."
"Random natural disasters are much more serious than polar night disasters... Fortunately, Dawn Town has just upgraded its protective shield, so it can withstand it."
"Dawn Town is fine, but we..."
The words were not finished, but everyone knew it.
No matter how powerful this Qingshan Inn is, it is just a newly established inn. Judging from the range of the protective shield, its level is definitely not as high as that of Dawn Town. It is still feasible to deal with the polar night disaster, but the intensity of random disasters... may not be able to save the lives of so many people.
Jiang Ruonian shook his head helplessly and pointed at the table of delicious dishes: "Eat first."
A few people picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, tremblingly put it into their mouths, and praised it happily. Then a gust of wind blew a huge rock and smashed it onto the protective shield, scaring them again.
This process was repeated several times, and the people in Shuguang Town were finally desensitized.
They truly realized that random natural disasters were no match for Qingshan Inn.
The AI of random natural disasters is obviously more violent and furious. Not only is the wind speed stronger, but the things it sweeps away are also more outrageous, and it can even uproot a small mountain on the spot. Jiang Runian has already imagined what kind of chaos the wilderness will be in after this hurricane.
The people of Shuguang Town finally relaxed and savored the delicious food.
Suddenly, a deep and sharp cry was heard amid the howling of the wind outside: "Help! Help me!"
Under the attack of the hurricane, the voice had been distorted, but the people in Shuguang Town who had lived together for several days could still recognize that it was Chen Wu's voice.
Someone opened the window and vaguely saw a person clinging to the thick banyan tree trunk among the rocks and flying trees. He couldn't wrap his arms around it with both hands, so he could only grab a long beard with one hand, which was about to break.
"Chen Wu is calling for help, what should I do?"
"What can we do? This is a natural disaster. Saving him is like Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather."
"Can we just watch him die without any help?"
Jiang Runian leaned against the counter, his chin in his hands, listening to the hoarse cries outside with boredom.
She glanced at Liu Yinshuang's tightly pursed lips. Jiang Runian made a "piupiu" sound, which attracted Liu Yinshuang's confused eyes.
She smiled and asked, "Do you want to save me?"
