Idol's Doomsday Survival Guide
Chapter 71 Dinner
The so-called elder is an old man who is over seventy years old.
The main hall has a large area, and there is no trace of shabbyness at all. It is incompatible with the stone house outside, and even the chandelier is made of crystal.Only a kerosene lamp was burning inside.In the middle of the main hall stood a huge dining table, made of wood, covered with a large red carpet.Counting down from the main seat, there are more than 20 chairs.Unlike the ones I saw in the stone house before, the chairs here are basically upholstered with high-quality goose down.
The person who brought them said that the main hall leads to two rooms on the left and right. The room on the left is divided into three rooms, which are the back kitchen, the bathroom and the bath, while the room on the right has only two rooms. One is the elder’s bedroom. One is the guest bedroom.
Their arrival was notified to the elder early in the morning. The old man was wearing a brown robe and slowly turned around with his hands behind his back.He is very old, his face is covered with spots, and even his hair is gray and thin.He was very pleased to see them coming.Holding his cane with his withered hands, he paced towards them bit by bit.Zou Tu looked around and saw a row of heavily armed young men, twelve on each side, wearing khaki hooded robes, and watching this side with vigilant eyes.
"Welcome, welcome." The old man looked at Ji Nanze, squinting his eyes, "Young man, you must be exhausted after traveling all the way. There is nothing else in the shelter, what there is...is enthusiasm. Exchange food and water, you don't have to Alright, you stay here, have a meal before leaving."
Ji Nanze was a little uncomfortable with his eyes, Zou Tu blocked him behind with one hand, stepped forward and said, "It's not that we don't want to stay, old man... er, old man." He looked at his little finger that was caught , quickly changed his words, "We still have companions outside, if we only care about our own appetite, I will be sorry for their efforts. Therefore, we only need to exchange things."
At the moment, as things stand here, it's not a good idea to interfere too much.They just need to get what they need, and figure out the source of the scents outside.
After hearing his words, the old man nodded slightly and said, "But from my point of view, you seem to have come here empty-handed. What do you want in exchange?"
"Intelligence." Knowing that Zou Tu didn't prepare the answer to this question, Ji Nanze stepped forward, "We know everything that happened in the outside world, and we can see that you don't often return to the ground. And tomorrow, he and I will We don’t care about these materials when we leave here, but exchange and contact are necessary, and your understanding of the drastic changes in the outside world is also necessary.”
"Oh? How are you sure we need to go back to the ground?" The old man squinted at him. "Now, the ground may be in chaos, and we don't need to know what's going on outside. We just need to stay here and wait... "
"Waiting for death?" Ji Nanze looked at him and smiled faintly, "Here, you can only wait for death slowly."
There were a few young people behind the old man who wanted to come forward, and Zou Tu, not to be outdone, blocked Ji Nanze behind him.
He whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm still sure of dealing with these people. Whatever the senior wants to say, just say it."
The old man narrowed his eyes and reached out to stop the young men: "...what do you know?"
"Radon gas," he said, "is a substance that exists in underground soil and groundwater. It is a harmful pollution. It may cause cancer, and it may also cause indeterminate diseases. Those people outside have already shown obvious symptoms .”
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Nanze.
"You have been in this environment for a long time, and most people's physical conditions have found it difficult to adapt to the outside world." He said, "Very few people will find your refuge, and we may be this month, no...even as long as The only traveler who came to visit for half a year. What you want, only we can have."
"How can I believe that you didn't make up a story to lie to me?" The old man stared at him, his eyes already a little shaken.If Ji Nanze's guess is correct, lung disease is a long-term intractable disease that has plagued them.He doesn't need to find a breakthrough in this matter, this person will make a deal with them sooner or later.
"That depends on what you mean." Ji Nanze said, "No matter how sincere I say, if you don't believe it, you can't change it. I can only tell you that until the disaster is over, nothing will come here It’s a visitor. For the rest, it’s up to you.” He looked at the old man, as if he wanted to find a flaw in the other’s face, but unfortunately, he let himself down.
"Come to think of it, we haven't been outside for a while." The old man suddenly laughed, "Yes, young man, of course. But I have one condition, stay, it's just an invitation to dinner, you don't You will be infected with some strange disease. But, tell me more about the outside world with this old man."
Ji Nanze glanced at Zou Tu, as if asking for his opinion.He didn't quite believe the old man's invitation. Now is the time when everyone is in danger. Anyone may harm or kill them in any way. They must be careful not to fall into despair.
"I see, we accept your invitation. But... please allow us to leave tonight."
The old man looked at them, smiled, and did not speak.
Meals were quickly prepared in the main hall.When the cook walked from the door to the corner corridor with a burden in his arms, Ji Nanze leaned next to Zou Tu and whispered, "I don't think it's that simple here, so be careful when eating. I always feel that since the illusion is in the two It must not be a coincidence that it happened to me at the same time. What's more, a girl appeared in my vision...I'm pretty sure that the other you also saw it at the time."
Zou Tu frowned: "Senior, do you want to ask them?"
Ji Nanze shook his head: "No, it's like a disease. It's a kind of privacy for them. There are so many of them. If they really don't want us to leave, it's hard for us to fly away from here even if we have wings. Let alone Said that we want to find the source of that smell. So, Zou Tu, don't provoke them, understand?"
Just as they were talking, that scent wafted out of the entire hall.
Black, viscous hallucinations, all over again...
Ji Nanze quickly bit the root of his tongue, and suddenly woke up under the sting of a ray of blood. He scanned the people in the main hall and found that everyone was in a state of trance.And Zou Tu was also aware of the familiar smell, he bit his lip and tried to maintain his composure.Unlike everyone else, he and Ji Nanze exchanged glances, and immediately confirmed that the smell came from the corridor on the left.There are only three rooms in the corridor on the left, kitchen, toilet and bath.And the only possibility is the kitchen that the cook just walked into.
Is he cooking something?
But the smell from that thing seemed to form a kind of neurotoxin, which naturally formed hallucinations in their brains.After a while, they were sure that the people present not only looked strange, but even turned a blind eye to their doubts.The old man sniffed deeply in the air several times, and sighed: "Every time I smell this fragrance, I feel like I am 30 years old again, and the air is full of the smell of my youth."
Ji Nanze smiled awkwardly, looking at the appetizers they served.
These appetizers are some shriveled vegetables, but for other people in this underground shelter, they seem a bit too rich.However, the situation here is different from Nanshan Street. Jiang Sen has a good impression of him, so he is willing to share all information about Nanshan Street.As for this underground shelter, there are too many uncertainties.
He must tread carefully.
"Old sir, I am afraid that you have contributed a lot to building the shelter to such a large scale in a short period of time."
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the first few years of the construction of Matsutake Town, an underground air-raid shelter was built. It was only used as a shelter later, so I can't be credited for it."
"You all live underground, where did you get the meat?" He picked up a piece of radish for Zou Tu and asked pretendingly.
"Meat? Isn't there always a lot of meat?" The old man smiled, "We have a breeding farm. Although the recent harvest is not satisfactory and the number of cubs born is also declining, it can still last for a while. By the way, outside How is the situation? How long do you think it will take before we can go back to the ground and live again."
"Conservatively speaking, about a year." Ji Nanze held a piece of green vegetables and observed the old man's reaction.
The old man just smiled and had no other reaction.
"Then you have to save food and money."
He glanced at the empty chairs around him, lowered his eyelashes, and asked, "Old man, there are quite a lot of empty chairs here, why don't you call other people to eat together?"
"My old friends, some of them died long ago, and some of them were disabled. That is, the disease you mentioned has been tormenting us, and it is not getting better. We don't have any doctors, so we can only wait for death slowly." He said, "But we still dare not go to the ground. Those monsters outside are really... too scary."
"Monster?" he asked, biting his fork, "Old man, what kind of monster do you see?"
The old man raised his head suddenly, his pupils dilated slowly, but he still didn't look like the monster in his hallucination.He was just an old man, a human being, with those dry, sagging eyes fixed on him.Then, he seemed to notice the shock of Ji Nanze's wrist, and he smiled strangely.
"It's the monsters you saw. They cannibalize people and confuse others. Young people, don't get close to them. In the end, you will be the ones who suffer..."
After talking like this, Ji Nanze couldn't eat anymore, Zou Tu also saw his worry, grabbed his hand under the table, and calmly comforted him.But at this time, four dishes of meat dishes and a large bowl of broth were also served.The meat should be fresh meat, and it doesn't have the color of frozen meat, exuding bursts of tangy heat.
They were familiar with this hot air, it was the scent they had smelled outside before.
"Okay, since the dishes are all served, you young people, don't be too polite. Tell me what's going on outside, old man, while eating." He said, picked up a chopstick of meat, and put it in Chew in your mouth.Ji Nanze frowned as he looked at the sumptuous food on the table. Even though the old man repeatedly emphasized that it was domesticated domesticated by the shelter itself, he still had no appetite.
Ji Nanze also half-heartedly told him some things that happened outside. While thinking about the origin of the scent, he was also curious about the girl who disappeared mysteriously: "Old man, this smell is very special." He said, "I still smell it. Quite curious."
"That's right, I was very surprised when I ate it for the first time." The old man laughed, "The young people here usually do nothing but tinker with these things, and they are very good at it. It's become a feature of our sanctuary."
Ji Nanze lowered his head. Although he hasn't touched meat for a long time, he still can't control his hands.When he was an idol, the necessary body management had to be retained.When the old man said some clichés, he just listened and responded, and didn't make any other reactions.But at this moment, from the corner of his eye, Zou Tu who was beside him suddenly covered his mouth. Although the movement was as small as possible, Ji Nanze still saw that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking violently.
While the old man wasn't paying attention, he took out a very small paw that had been boiled and rotten from under a plate.It looked like some kind of bullfrog.But Ji Nanze took a look and felt something was wrong.How can there be frogs in domesticated livestock in the basement?
Zou Tu used chopsticks to pick apart the flesh, and looked at the tendons and bones inside.The scalps of the two of them exploded immediately.
This claw, unlike a bullfrog, is not a bullfrog at all.
It should have been chopped alive from something they couldn't have imagined.
The main hall has a large area, and there is no trace of shabbyness at all. It is incompatible with the stone house outside, and even the chandelier is made of crystal.Only a kerosene lamp was burning inside.In the middle of the main hall stood a huge dining table, made of wood, covered with a large red carpet.Counting down from the main seat, there are more than 20 chairs.Unlike the ones I saw in the stone house before, the chairs here are basically upholstered with high-quality goose down.
