Chapter 177: Mutation - Granary 22
Suddenly, it saw someone among them.
He quickly leaned over to Anjiu and whispered, "Xiangcai, the mutant villain from yesterday is here too. He's too fierce. We can't go any further. Let's leave quickly before he finds us!"
Anjiu didn't respond.
Shiitake poked her back, "You like honey, don't you? I'll take you there. There are other nectars you haven't tried yet. Seriously, don't go any further. This smells not good at all. Hey!"
It looked back several times and found that the bad guy was tall and had long legs, and he approached easily.
I was shocked and surprised to find that the man's eyes were also wide open.
"Hey, it's time for revenge!"
Xianggu picked up Anjiu regardless and walked back.
"Hey man, why do you look so listless? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xianggu stood in front of him and smiled maliciously.
"Come and let my little brother help you sober up~"
It grabbed Anjiu's hand and slapped it without any mercy.
At the moment when they were about to touch, the man's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He raised his hand to grasp the wrist that was attacking him, and cast his eyes downward.
Xianggu suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing over his head.
Yes, it’s a bit scary…
It mustered up its courage and said, "Don't think that we were the ones who were afraid yesterday—Ahhh, Coriander, save me~"
The mutants watching the fun nearby all turned their heads along with him.
They all said in unison: "Wow~ Feigu!"
After dealing with it, Pu Huai reached out and touched Anjiu's cheeks and behind her ears carefully.
Make sure she's not pretending.
Seeing that the other person's eyes were gradually becoming clearer, he used his strength to twist and bend his arms behind his back to prevent himself from suddenly breaking free.
The first thing Anjiu saw when he woke up was the shop opposite with a sign that read "Fuwangwang Hotpot Restaurant".
Something strange...appeared!
Before I could feel any other emotions, I was pushed forward.
"Go inside."
This sound...
An Jiu was stunned and turned around to look back.
"!"
Could anyone tell her what was going on?
Why did she fall into Pu Huai's hands?
Where is the mushroom man???
If he tried to struggle a bit, the force holding his wrist would increase mercilessly.
She heard bones snapping.
——This is totally incomparable to the force he had experienced in previous fights.
It can be seen that Pu Huai had previously withdrew nearly half of his strength.
An Jiu gritted his teeth in pain, "Be gentle, I'll listen to you."
Pu Huai pushed her forward with his wrist and said coldly, "Go into the store."
There is no room for negotiation in the words.
But An Jiu had this idea in mind. She looked up and observed the entire store, trying to find the time limit.
Based on the last perfume shop, we can infer that the store’s existence time is limited.
When the countdown reaches zero, it will disappear automatically.
This means that the time in between is safe.
The second problem we face is, after entering, can we get out easily?
Anjiu thought about this for a long time.
Maybe she could use her Shadow Walker ability to escape from the store.
This requires Pu Huai to be nearby and have the skill to ignore store restrictions - if any.
These are just Anjiu's speculations and are not supported by any data.
To put it bluntly, it's gambling.
It just depends on whether the contents are rich enough to make it worth her risk.
——After coming to a different world, you can’t return empty-handed.
The hotpot restaurant looks brand new with bright glass, and the tables and chairs inside are not tilted around, as if they had just been thoroughly cleaned.
A string of orange lights is lit inside, illuminating the small material area.
Various self-service condiment bowls are neatly arranged on the counter, but it is unclear whether there is anything inside.
Further back, a door curtain with the words 'Kitchen, No Guests Allowed' hangs quietly, but from below one can see a path extending inward.
The whole hot pot restaurant is sound, clean and tidy.
It was also empty and filled with weirdness.
An Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
My eyes couldn't help but fall on the seasoning bowl.
What a great container...
It also has its own kitchen...
There must be pots in there, single pot, double pot, nine-grid pot...
There will also be various colanders, soup spoons, unbreakable melamine plates, side dishes...
Maybe she can add two more knives...
Anjiu decided that she would take risks to achieve this wealth!
As the first fellow villager stepped into the hot pot restaurant, changes appeared above the door lintel.
There is an LED display screen under the sign of Fuwangwang Hotpot Restaurant.
Blood-red words gradually appeared: 'Welcome to the 145th experimental store, hot pot is being enjoyed, dining time: 90 minutes.'
That's an hour and a half of safety time.
That's enough for her!
More than a dozen fellow villagers walked into the hot pot restaurant one after another.
But as soon as they stepped in, they were like headless flies, sniffing around with their noses and circling in place.
Even if they collide, there will be no conflict.
Soon the number of people entering the store reached 20, and Anjiu looked at the display screen again.
The countdown above does not speed up due to changes in the number of people.
It seems that quantity has nothing to do with it.
Seeing the door of the hot pot restaurant right in front of him, Pu Huai finally let go of the hand that was restraining her.
An Jiu rubbed his sore wrist, ignored the threat in his eyes, and instead grabbed the person passing by, pulled up his eyelids, and twisted the soft flesh on his waist to force him to turn on the phone.
The man had just woken up and hadn't figured out the situation yet.
The back waist was pushed and his feet lost control and stepped into the hot pot restaurant.
Three seconds later, he was pulled out again.
A small hand slapped his face.
"Brother, wake up. Do you see anything in there?"
The man's unfocused pupils gathered as he looked at Anjiu, then at the brightly lit hot pot restaurant. He smelled the aroma emanating from inside, and his eyes became blurred again.
"I'm so hungry...it smells so good in there...I want to eat."
He broke free and walked into the hot pot restaurant on his own initiative.
Anjiu seemed to be thinking about something.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the man, and his body wasn't falling apart.
Could it be that this store is just waiting for the countdown to end so that it can use the power grid to harvest the fruits?
The aroma of the hot pot wafts far away.
The fellow villagers who were attracted from nearby walked in one after another, and Anjiu grabbed a few and experimented again.
Finally, I was able to confirm that I could enter and exit freely within the specified time.
Anjiu took a deep breath and stepped into the door of the hot pot restaurant.
"Welcome to our store~"
The vague voice came from somewhere in the store.
But in the instant that Anjiu blinked and closed her eyes, the other party seemed to be so close that they were face to face with her.
At the same time, a picture flashed through her mind - the receptionist in cheongsam bowed to her, extended her hand to the right, and invited her to come in.
When Anjiu opened his eyes, there was nothing in front of him, not a single person in sight.
She tried closing her eyes for two seconds.
——The beautiful receptionist straightened her back, smiled her perfect smile, and kept her hair neatly combed, looking straight at her.
"How many guests are there?"
Behind her, a waiter carrying spicy hot pot soup base just walked by. The red soup was swaying on the edge of the pot, covered with chili peppers.
Noticing the new guest, he turned around and showed his eight teeth.
"Fuwangwang Hotpot Restaurant wishes——"
Anjiu opened his eyes.
The sound that entered my ears suddenly became vague and I couldn't find where it came from.
"——enjoy your meal."
