Chapter 145 Donate blood in exchange for a mouthful of gruel

Chen Li saw that they were extremely pitiful, so he couldn't really hit them, it was just an act of ferocity.

"No, don't hit me."

The skinny man was terrified and dodged tremblingly.

Chen Li shook his head helplessly when he saw them. It seems that he needs to find and track them down by himself.

Thinking of this, he took out a small notebook from his backpack, and wrote it down in the notebook.

The next morning, early in the morning—

Chen Li was awakened by Chen Xinghe's scream, so frightened that he quickly got up and went to her room.

"what happened?"

"Ah, brother, I'm so scared, I thought you would never come back."

Chen Xinghe looked at Chen Li with teary eyes.

Chen Li smiled, and said comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm back."

As soon as he said this, they heard someone outside knocking on some kind of iron plate and shouting something.

Now the sky outside is hazy, gradually brightening up, but it's a pity that I can't see where the sun body is.

Chen Li and Chen Xinghe quickly left the door of their temporary residence.

I met a skinny old man head-on, who seemed to be at night, walking slowly on the street while knocking on iron plates.

The old man soon spotted Chen Li and the others, and greeted them with a smile, "Oh, you are the newcomers who came yesterday."

"Yes, what are you doing here?"

Chen Li asked curiously.

The old man said with a smile: "The main thing is to remind everyone that the danger is over and you can go out."

Chen Li smiled knowingly.

Chen Xinghe was surprised: "I can't believe there are other people here, I thought everyone in this small town disappeared."

Until she woke up last night, she basically didn't meet a living person. It seems that she slept very hard last night. She didn't know that she was almost made into a delicacy by those skinny guys. .

Just then, a sound came from the house on the other side.

"Don't run around, you know?"

It was the voice of a mother, and then a child who looked like a little carrot head ran out.

He shouted angrily: "Understood, I will play for 5 minutes."

He ran happily, passing the old man.

The old man said lovingly: "Xiao Shuai, you have to listen to your mother."

"Okay, grandpa."

The kid named Xiaoshuai responded happily. His body is very thin, but his head looks big, which is why he looks like a carrot head.

"What a good boy."

The old man nodded with a smile. He continued to shake the iron plate in his hand and made a crisp sound, which resounded throughout the quiet street.

Where the old man passed by, the street looked clean, but there were rusty cars parked around it. It seemed that the group of guys were right last night, the cars in this place couldn't be driven anymore.

Because of the old man's reminder, a small number of people got up one after another and came out of the room.

They start the day looking for food, basically they have nothing else to do, just look for food to fill their stomachs.

Those people were as thin as skeletons, and they had no strength to walk, as if they had lost their souls.

Most of them all headed in one direction.

"What are they going to do?"

Chen Li asked the old man curiously.

The old man smiled as he walked: "They all go over there to exchange some porridge, do you want to go too?"

"Can I exchange it for gruel? What can I exchange it for? Money?"

Chen Li immediately became excited, and there was still food to eat!
Didn't the group of guys say last night that there is nothing to eat in this place, and they all started to gnaw tree bark and dig grass roots to eat.

"Didn't it mean that there is no food in this place?"

The old man smiled, as if he was forced to smile helplessly.

"Money? It's completely useless in this place. One person can only exchange gruel once a day, and it still needs to be exchanged with blood. Do you think you can exchange it for gruel every day?"

Both Chen Li and Chen Xinghe stared wide-eyed, "What? Exchange with blood!?"

"Of course, what do you think you can exchange it for?" The old man looked helpless. He often went to draw blood in exchange for a bowl of gruel to barely fill his stomach, but this full stomach was far from enough for the body's overdraft and nutritional needs.

Chen Li and Chen Xinghe looked at each other in shock. This place is so weird that they need to exchange blood for gruel.

This is simply a place to eat people!

But here, people are meant to be cannibals, right?

Chen Li frowned, and hurriedly asked: "Who wants to draw blood? Why do you draw so much blood?"

"It's good to have something to eat. As for who comes to draw blood and what the blood is used for, no one knows, and no one cares."

As the old man said, he continued to tap the iron plate in his hand, and he also walked towards the place where the blood was drawn.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Li said to Chen Xinghe in a low voice, the junior sister nodded after thinking about it for a while to express her agreement.

The two followed the pace of the old man, walking towards that side.

At this time, the old man smiled and said: "Of course, if you are willing to give it to me, then I can give you a gift, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Xinghe and Chen Li who were following behind.

Chen Xinghe looked at him curiously, and asked, "Excuse me, old man, what do you want to give?"

"I can't tell you yet, but I'll let you see it later. Don't worry, it will definitely benefit you. You won't suffer. Of course, I won't lose either."

The old man had a smile on his face when he said the last sentence, and his expression looked quite happy, as if everything was over.

"Thank you senior!" Chen Li thanked gratefully.

The old man walked over, picked up a stone on the ground and threw it aside by the side of the road. It seemed that the old man cared about the sanitation of the town very much.

Chen Xinghe followed closely behind Chen Li. She was a little confused now, mainly because she didn't know as much about this foggy town as Chen Li did.

Chen Li told Chen Xinghe a lot of information about this weird foggy town.

"What? You said we can't get out!"

Chen Xinghe shouted in shock, her voice was so loud that many people turned their heads to look over.

Chen Li said helplessly: "Junior sister, please lower your voice and don't be so excited. I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Oh, then hurry up and continue talking."

Chen Xinghe took a deep breath and listened carefully to Chen Li's words.

"For the time being, we can't get out, but we must find a way to get out. If it doesn't work, I will do a big job in this foggy town. Don't forget that we still have a lot of special talismans in our hands."

When Chen Xinghe heard what her senior brother said, she felt relieved a lot. She didn't want to stay in such a depressing place for the rest of her life, especially not being able to eat delicious food was the most unacceptable thing for her.

Chen Xinghe glanced at those passers-by who were as skinny as skeletons, and said in a low voice: "Well~ that's fine, when does the senior brother plan to strike?"
