Chapter 99: The Immortal Body
"You're such a black-hearted businessman, it's too expensive."
It was a magnetic man's voice, and I wanted to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt like they were stuck to something.
"It beautifies the environment, purifies the air, and provides the oxygen necessary for human breathing, which is far more important than the money in your pocket."
It was the woman's smoke, and then I heard the sound of a lighter, and the woman seemed to be spitting smoke, "To put it bluntly, I'm doing a loss-making business so that I can fill my stomach." ”
"The air is free, and while I won't buy it, I'm going to tell you out of kindness that it's just a broken flower."
The sound of the door closing.
The woman was holding the pot of flowers and was about to put them back in the display case, but she found me lying on the bed, looking at her with my eyes open.
Smack!
The pot fell to the ground and shattered.
"White ...... Brother Bai! The woman threw away the cigarette in her hand and staggered to the bedside, "Are you really awake......"
I looked at the woman's face, almost in her thirties, somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her.
Don't......
"Are you Mengmo?"
"Who is Mengmo? Oh yes! You must have met in the game world, right? The woman was a little excited, she pulled a dagger from her waist and cut the rope that bound me, "Can you move?" Can you sit up? Give it a try! ”
I tried to move my body, but I found that only my left arm could be raised, and I was wearing a watch on my wrist, "This is CLORIS-NA, right?" ”
"Hmm!" The woman hurriedly helped me open the clasp of my watch, "Let's see if I can take it off." ”
Just like a regular watch, it was easily taken off.
Tears poured out from the woman's eyes.
"Oh my God, you're really awake......"
I looked at the woman's appearance, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it felt, "I...... Do I know you? ”
The woman froze for a moment, then smiled again, "Yes, I know...... Maybe it's really old, you don't even recognize me. It's understandable, but it's still a little sad......"
As she spoke, I noticed that my neck could move slightly, and it seemed that my body was gradually recovering.
"I'm sorry, maybe you're my friend in this world." I looked out the window of the flower shop, sometimes a strong wind swept through the flying sand, sometimes it seemed to be still, and a few rays of the setting sun shone into the room.
"I'm Ye Zi, Brother Bai, do you remember me? At the bonfire party of the freshman year of high school, I also danced. ”
"Ye Zi!!" My upper body left the bed excitedly, but fell back heavily, "You are Ye Zi!" Oh, my God...... You really are Ye Zi. ”
I looked at her face, and the young Ye Zi...... It's really her, I really didn't think about it just now.
Second Uncle mentioned in my state of mind that the present world is similar to the past, and the apocalyptic world I am in at this time is similar to the future.
Ye Zi is old.
This...... It's incredible.
"Is it necessary to be so surprised!" Ye Zi turned around and picked up a mirror from the counter, stroked his face with the other hand and muttered, "I don't think there is such a big gap between myself and when I was young?" ”
At this moment, the door of the store was pushed open, and a sturdy man with a bow and arrow walked in, he ripped off the dead snake hanging from his neck and threw it to the ground, "They went to the far north to grab water, let's take turns in the past few days, you go back to the castle to rest first...... Why did this pot break? ”
"I broke it." Ye Zi bent down to pick up the cigarette on the ground, and the long soot fell to the ground, but she still took a sharp puff on the cigarette butt.
"You broke it, and it makes sense. How many times have I said that try not to smoke in the store, these flowers and plants are all endangered plants. "The man took a few steps towards me with his bow and arrows on his back, and when he looked at me, his feet suddenly slipped, and he sat down on the ground.
He looked back at Ye Zi, "I'm not mistaken, right?!" Brother Bai, he ......"
"Wake up." Ye Zi said with a smoke spit.
I sat up weakly with my arms propped up.
The man's hair was long, bent and glued together, and occasionally covered his eyes.
It was as if he hadn't been washed for a long time, and his face was dirty, and some dust seemed to be stuck in the scar on the left side of his face.
The lower body was wearing camouflage military pants, and the upper body was simply naked, with only a belt tied to the bow and arrow behind his back. But the most complicated thing is his waist, with all kinds of knives and leather boxes hanging from his belt.
It's not at all.
But even if he looked like this, I could recognize him.
"You...... Is it Muzi? ”
"Brother Bai! Hahaha! Li Muzi rushed to me excitedly and hugged me, "You're awake!" You're really awake! ”
I just felt like he was going to shatter all the bones in my body.
"Be careful, he's empty now." Ye Zi stood aside and reminded.
"That's right! It's void, his body was void a long time ago. Li Muzi let go of me, turned around and picked up the dead snake on the ground and handed it to me, "Brother Bai, you make up for it quickly!" ”
I looked down at the dead snake he was holding, and then looked up at him blankly.
What do you mean? Let me eat?
"Eat! Are you sleeping stupid? That's good stuff! So saying, he took a sharp bite, tore off the snake's flesh, chewed it hard in his mouth, threw the snake into my lap, and said to me like a child, "Eat it!" Delicious! ”
"I ...... Not too hungry. As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach began to rumble, and my eyes were a little dizzy from the intense, belated hunger.
Dizzy for a moment, I looked at the dead snake in front of me that had been bitten down, and lost my mind in the blurred vision.
I dragged the dead snake and tore it with my teeth like crazy.
Chewing and swallowing, the blood moistens the dry esophagus...... It was like the best thing I've ever tasted in my life.
"That's right, eat!" Li Muzi looked at me excitedly.
"He's so hungry." Ye Zi also looked at me with a smile.
And when I was frantically eating the dead snake raw, I didn't notice that the two people next to me were swallowing their saliva from time to time.
When I came to my senses, I noticed that the two of them were staring at my empty palms in a daze.
"Anything else?" I shamelessly said, "I feel so hungry all of a sudden......"
Both of them came back to their senses, but neither spoke.
Li Muzi picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, "I'll go out for a while." ”
"You come back to me!" Ye Zi dragged him out and blocked in front of him, "Are you crazy?" It's going to be dark soon! ”
"I'll be back before dark."
"No way!" Ye Zi looked at me, lowered his voice and said to Li Muzi, "If you go out now, not only will you not find food, but you will also meet sleepwalkers, stay here honestly, or go back to the ancient castle to sleep, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" ”
Li Muzi glanced back at me, and also lowered his voice and said to Ye Zi: "Brother Bai just woke up, he is hungry now, I have to go and find him something to eat, I have to try it anyway!" ”
"Try a fart!" Ye Zi pushed him back with both hands and said to me, "Bai An, maybe you don't know the current state of the world, that snake is the ration for all of us in the past few days, and you have eaten it." If Li Muzi goes out now, he will have to risk his life. ”
"Ye Zi! How can you do that? Brother Bai didn't wear the watch for us! ”
"That's what I am." Ye Zi turned around and walked a few steps, completely locking the door of the store, "Let's take him back to the ancient castle first, and then go out tomorrow morning to find something to eat." ”
"Brother Bai, I'll carry you back." Li Muzi walked to the bedside.
"No, I feel like I'm almost recovered." I tried to get out of bed by myself, although I was a little dizzy, but I could barely stand up, and after a while, I was able to take a slight step, "I'm sorry, Muzi, I didn't know that food in this world was so scarce." ”
"As long as you wake up, it's better than anything else." Li Muzi helped me to the back door of the flower shop, Ye Zi unlocked the combination lock next to the roller shutter door, and the door was automatically closed.
Behind the roller shutter door, there is a stone door.
Ye Zi pressed another password, and the stone door slowly rose, and what greeted him was a round table with several wooden chairs around it.
The dim light, the large furnace not far away, there was no fuel or flame.
"Brother Bai, do you remember this stone house?" Li Muzi looked at the photo hanging on the wall, "Speaking of which, this stone house was built by Mikasiu alone. ”
I looked closely at the photos on the walls, and everyone was standing together in front of the gate of the castle, like a family portrait, and there were a few other people I didn't know.
"This black tuxedo is Mikassiu...... That's right! Why don't you let Mikassius conjure food? Isn't he a demon in this world? ”
"Looks like you've really forgotten a lot of things. After the meteorite rain, the whole world is stuck in a static force field, and all special abilities are unusable. Li Muzi pointed to the photo, "Look, you were still holding a giant sword at that time." ”
"It's just a plastic model." Ye Zi leaned against the wall and lit another cigarette, "There really is, everyone wasted more than half a month and made it for you with steel, but you can't take it." In vain, I remember that Su Yi had to help you create ......"
"Ye Zi!" Li Muzi interrupted her angrily, "Can you not always mention those things from before!" ”
"You showed him the photos, what does it have to do with me?"
"I'm here to help him recall the past, what are you always sarcastic about Brother Bai!"
"How can I be sarcastic about him? Didn't you just think about it? You are allowed to speak for yourselves, did you build the stone house? Funny! ”
"Muzi, Ye Zi, don't quarrel between the two of you." I finally glanced at Su Yi who was holding my neck in the photo a few more times, and said to them, "After all, we are all old husbands and wives, everyone tolerates each other, why always quarrel." ”
"Poof, old husband and wife?" Ye Zi flicked the cigarette butt into the stove, "Brother Bai, we broke up more than ten years ago, have you forgotten about this?" ”
"Broke up?!" I only felt a thunderbolt slam down, and when I had to separate from Su Yu, the couple I envied the most was Ye Zi and Mu Zi, it was normal to be noisy occasionally, after all, they could be together all the time. When I woke up in the apocalyptic world and saw that the two of them were still beside each other, I was both envious and sad, what a happy thing! But they ......
"You two used to have such a good relationship, why did you break up?!"
