While Xie Zhi was chewing the cold white rice, he scooped up a spoonful of old hen soup from the soup bowl with his other hand. He ate very quickly and his eating movements were not decent at all, but Xie Zhi was completely unaware of this. He just ate the food in the dining car in front of him intoxicatedly, squatting on the ground while eating, and couldn't stop crying from his eyes. Tears flowed from the eyes.
"I can eat! I can eat!"
…
Let’s start from two minutes ago. At that time, Xie Zhi asked Zhang Hongmian whether there was Baopuzi soul powder in this spiritual illusion, and the reply he received was naturally negative.
But then, Zhang Hongmian asked Xie Zhi another question.
"When the negative Qing masters enter the spiritual illusion, who are the negative Qing masters playing?"
Who is playing? Playing the role of a savior to save the dead victims in the fantasy world?
Xie Zhi replied subconsciously.
But Zhang Hongmian shook his head and said, I am not asking about a fictitious concept, I am asking what kind of specific person the negative Qing masters are playing in the spiritual illusion?
Xie Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into ecstasy.
"I'm playing you!"
"You mean, in the mental illusion, I can eat without the help of soul powder?"
When Xie Zhi heard that he could eat, he didn't know where the energy came from in his body. He immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards the drugged dining car on both hands and feet.
really! It’s edible!
There is no intention of vomiting at all!
Xie Zhi then remembered that the vomiting feeling near the cart was actually caused by killing the bandage monster, and black water sprayed from the bandage monster's wound and splashed on his face.
But now that black water has long been turned into black gas, and has been absorbed into the air circulation system by the central air conditioner. Even the rancid smell has become very dull. Xie Zhi, who is in Zhang Hongmian's body, is naturally no longer attracted by that kind of people. Affected by the nauseating breath.
Xie Zhi swept away the food in the dining car in a hurry, and while eating, two lines of tears fell on his cheeks.
Putting aside the poison, putting aside the fact that the food was a little cold and the smell of rancid food hovered over the food, this was really the most luxurious meal Xie Zhi had ever had since time travel!
The spicy and sour soup is chewy and refreshing, the old hen soup is fresh and mellow, the pagoda meat melts in your mouth, the squirrel mandarin fish is crispy and chewy, and even the bowl of cold white rice is still crispy and soft with a sweet taste.
The food provided by this retired veteran cadre is good. I will also be a retired veteran cadre in the future.
"Do you want to hear what you're talking about?"
Zhang Hongmian’s complaints came from the opposite side of the spiritual link. While Xie Zhi was squatting next to the dining car to eat, she was also standing next to the dining car, bending down to eat and replenish her strength.
Zhang Hongmian's eating speed is not slow, but compared to Xie Zhi, it is still a lot slower.
Xie Zhi finished two dishes and one soup, and drank the remaining half of the bowl of hot and sour noodles. Zhang Hongmian only finished half of the squirrel mandarin fish at the other end of his memory.
After finishing all the food alone, Xie Zhi silently shouted Crazy Scissors in his heart and once again started his blue fire mode transformation.
Less than three seconds after his transformation, he felt that a large part of the food he had just eaten had been digested and broken down into energy, so Xie Zhi turned off the transformation mode again.
There was a vague sound of chewing and swallowing coming from the opposite side of the spiritual link.
"Hey, you haven't finished eating yet?"
"Thank you. It took less than a minute from the time you started eating to the end of your transformation. If you didn't choke to death, you are truly gifted."
"Only for a minute? I thought I ate very slowly."
Xie Zhi blinked.
Maybe if there was a big eater competition in this world, I might be able to win easily.
"That kind of food-wasting competition was completely stopped after the huge moon disaster. The annual food production supplies the population in the super urban agglomeration. There is not much food and clothing. Which organization dares to hold a competition of this special nature? I can only say His sponsors will never see the sun tomorrow."
"What, will the organizer be held accountable and then shot?"
"That's not the case, but I guess that night he will encounter a starvation pollution field transformed by people who don't have enough to eat. You know, sometimes, maybe the end of life itself does not make people desperate, but look It must be despairing for those who are at the end of their rope to see those who are thousands of times richer than themselves trample on what they regard as treasures.”
"In this way, the normalization of the emotional pollution field is actually a constraint for the powerful class."
"So, at least now, the rich will consider whether they will get into trouble with pollution sites before they act arrogantly. After all, the law will reason with them, but pollution sites will not."
"So, the pollution caused by despair also has its positive effects?"
"Compared with the harm caused by the pollution site itself, it is just a drop in the bucket."
…
Zhang Hongmian finished eating. She didn't eat slowly. It only took her five minutes to eat four dishes and a bowl of rice.
"Shall we go to the corridor next?"
"No, wait a minute."
Zhang Hongmian on the other end of the spiritual link stopped Xie Zhi's imminent steps, and then Xie Zhi heard a rustling sound coming from the other end.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm taking out all the towels from the public towel basket."
Xie Zhi understood what Zhang Hongmian meant, so he also learned from it.
"Are you going to soak all these towels?"
"Well, let's put them all in the hot spring pool for a while and then take them away."
"This is really well prepared."
Xie Zhi picked up a pile of bath towels and threw them into a pool not far away. When he fished them out again, the towels in his hands had increased by two or three kilograms.
Zhang Hongmian said that when he ran to the other side of the corridor, he would pass by a public restaurant with many service staff. In this hot spring nursing home, all the service staff have basically turned into bandage weirdos. If they sense Xie Zhi and Zhang Hongmian, they will pursue them relentlessly.
"What are the rules for chasing the monster with a dry body bandage?"
Xie Zhi suddenly remembered and asked,
"I mean, don't generally infected patients with emotional illnesses have their own behavioral logic? For example, the Moon Head Virus and Satisfaction Mask will increase the desire in people's hearts, and the Chain Virus will make the infected lose their desire to move or even their desire to survive, and become a A 'vegetative' who can only stand still and chase based on instinct..."
"You have only traveled through time for three days, but you are quite knowledgeable."
Zhang Hongmian's response contained a somewhat surprised tone.
"That's true. Desperate weirdos infected by the virus will act according to their own behavioral logic. As for the behavioral logic of the dry body bandage weirdo, at first glance, it may be that of a 'manic hospital nurse'."
"Manic hospital nurse?" Xie Zhi didn't understand.
"Well, when my team members were still there, these bandage monsters would try to capture us every time they encountered us. Once, Awang failed to run away and was directly captured by seven or eight bandage monsters. In the process of being captured, he was sucked into a mummy."
"But what was unexpected was that even though Awang had turned into a mummy, those bandaged monsters did not let go of him. Qiye and I were hanging far behind them. Finally, we saw that these weird people holding on to him had turned into a mummy. The limbs of the mummified Ngawang were sent to the dormitory in the general area. Those elderly people who did not make special contributions were placed in the general area in the nursing home, two floors down from here."
After hearing these words, Xie Zhi realized that the hot spring nursing home was a multi-story building.
Zhang Hongmian said that this hot spring nursing home has nine floors in total, and the one they are currently on is the fourth floor of the nursing home.
"So why was Awang sent to a dormitory?"
"Maybe it's because of the sense of responsibility as a caregiver. In the eyes of the geeks with body bandages, we are all their care recipients. Maybe from their perspective, they are the ones who come to persuade the elderly to return to the dormitory, but a bunch of elderly people don't He's running around following orders."
"That's really... good intentions leading to bad things."
Xie Zhi and Zhang Hongmian chatted for a while. During this period, Xie Zhi carried several piles of bath towels and soaked them in the pool. Finally, the bath towels at Xie Zhi's feet piled up into a small mountain. He hugged them with both hands and weighed more than 20 kilograms. .
Xie Zhi put aside the pots and pans on the dining cart, and then piled the 20 kilograms of wet bath towels onto the trolley.
"Is this much enough?"
Xie Zhi asked along the spiritual link.
"Enough is enough."
Zhang Hongmian responded affirmatively. From the other end of the spiritual link, there was also the sound of Zhang Hongmian exerting force when picking up the pile of bath towels, and the sound of the "squeaking" wheels of the trolley being dragged.
"When we go out later, save our energy first. When we encounter the bandage weirdo, if he is alone, wrap his face with a wet towel and fight quickly. If he is a group, scatter all the towels. , blocking their way while creating space for us to escape..."
Xie Zhi nodded.
Zhang Hongmian's voice on the other side of the psychic link gradually became intermittent and soon disappeared completely, but no new enemies appeared around Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi knew that this meant that Zhang Hongmian had already walked out of the hot spring room and started to break through the corridor.
"call."
Xie Zhi let out a breath.
He calmed down, then pushed the trolley and passed through the thick curtain of the hot spring room.
Breakthrough is about to begin.
Before Xie Zhi pushed the dining cart out through the curtain, Xie Zhi imagined a lot about what the world behind the curtain looked like.
But when he actually walked out of the hot spring room, everything that introduced him still made his hair stand on end in an instant.
"What kind of weird world is this?"
The sight in front of him made Xie Zhi couldn't help but murmur to himself.
