355. So is he dead?
Qiao Du and the three of them followed the crowd to the building, the three-story building was like a common cafeteria in a mental hospital, and when they walked in, they could see neatly arranged tables and windows.
"It's really a psychiatric hospital cafeteria!"
Qiao Du sighed.
"What?"
The light clouds are puzzled.
"It's like a hospital, where we need to get plates and line up to those windows to pick up food."
Qiao Du's old canteen was a regular customer, and he was very skilled, so he immediately took the plate and went to line up.
Qianyun was interested, drew the gourd in the same way, and followed Qiao Dui.
Kiriyama frowned and looked at the two of them, then at the dinner plate, before picking up the iron plate and lining up together.
After waiting in line for a while, Qiao Du came to the front of the line.
He looked out the window.
The aunt in the apron was serving food with a spoon, and the ones that were eaten were either masalas of various colors and mushy shapes, which looked clean and hygienic, or they were dry and hard breads, which made people lose their appetite at all.
In line with the idea of not eating for nothing, Qiao Du filled a full plate.
Finding a place to sit down, the three of them looked at each other.
"The food looks like it's in a can."
Kiriyama has a lingering feeling about the cans at the amusement park in his last mission.
"Although it is a pre-made dish, after all, you don't need money, don't dislike it so much."
Qiao Du picked up the stainless steel spoon and took a bite.
"It tastes surprisingly good, so you can try it too."
Qianyun tasted it, frowned, and silently pushed the plate out.
Instead of eating, Kiriyama looked at the others.
"It's weird, there's no farmland, there's no animals, and the people in the town seem to eat here."
"If I had food to eat, I wouldn't want to go to work."
Qiao Du took another bite of bread, and her mouth crunched.
"Just ask the people who distribute the food later."
Qianyun glanced at the cafeteria aunt behind the window.
Everyone ate quickly, and the number of people in the cafeteria gradually decreased, and between the three of them, only Qiao Du licked the plate cleanly.
Throwing the plate to the recycling place, Qiao Du went to the window of the cafeteria aunt.
"Please tell me where this food comes from."
Qiao Du didn't fix what she didn't have, and spoke directly.
The canteen aunt, who was cleaning up the leftover food, looked confused, and soon, she put down the spoon and motioned for the three to follow her.
"It's so convenient!"
Qianyun applauded and followed Qiao Du inside.
They came to the back kitchen.
It was said to be the back kitchen, but it was just an ordinary earthen stove, and Qiao Du saw the cans in the corner at a glance.
"Sure enough, it's canned, Ahsan, you're so smart!"
"Why don't I think you're complimenting me?"
Kiriyama twitched the corners of his mouth and leaned over to pick up a can.
There are no labels or words on it, so I can't tell what era it is.
Qiao Du generously opened one and tasted the taste inside.
"It's these things."
He was sure that this was the meal that the cafeteria aunt had given them just now.
"Where did these cans come from?"
Kiriyama asked.
"There's a lot in the warehouse."
The cafeteria aunt said in a flat tone.
"Where's the warehouse, take us to see it?"
Qiao Du divided the contents of the can by two.
The cafeteria aunt led them to the building behind the cafeteria.
Qiao Du saw that this huge building was full of various boxes, most of which contained canned food of different flavors, neatly arranged, enough for the people here to eat for a long time.
"Is this the legacy of a former civilization?"
He has seen many wasteland movies with similar scenes, where the former civilization left a lot of food, and the people of the wasteland fought for it, weaving countless ups and downs of the plot.
"How much do you have to eat in a meal?"
Kiriyama sensed something was wrong and looked at the cans.
"Five boxes."
The cafeteria aunt replied without thinking.
"Then you can only eat here for three or four years at most, and you all took it from the warehouse before?"
Kiriyama pinched his fingers and felt wrong.
"Yes, that's how I've taken it since before, and I've never finished it."
The cafeteria aunt replied.
"Never finished it?"
Kiriyama felt even more weird.
"You've really been eating this since you settled here, and the warehouse hasn't been empty?"
"Yes."
The cafeteria aunt's tone was a little sluggish, probably due to Qiao Dui's influence.
"Is it true that these cans have grown up and will reproduce on their own?"
Qiao Du guessed.
The red text in his field of vision emerged from the cans one by one.
[Eat boldly with confidence, these canned food will not let you grow a tail, nor will you have an extra pair of eyes, in this difficult era, it is a blessing to be able to eat! 】
At least prove that these canned foods have no side effects after eating.
As for how it came about, it's not clear.
"Let's put the canned food thing aside, we have to go to Ah Guang."
Qianyun felt that it didn't matter how these cans appeared, and that he couldn't rely on these cans to fly into the sky, so it was better to find that weird researcher as soon as possible.
"You're looking for Aguang?"
The cafeteria aunt reacted when she heard Qianyun's words.
"You know him?"
Kiriyama enters detective mode and does not miss any opportunity to get information.
"He's a celebrity."
The cafeteria aunt started the mode of chattering at the entrance of the village.
"What's the way to get famous?"
Qianyun seemed to have conjured melon seeds in his hands, and pricked up his ears to listen.
"He never eats in the cafeteria, he always talks about things in the cafeteria that he can't eat, and he wants to fly into the sky."
The cafeteria aunt replied.
"He tried once before, but he broke a leg, and now he can't walk, but he still wants to try, I don't know if he fell stupidly."
"Does he have any friends?"
Qiao Du asked suddenly.
"No one wanted to approach him, so he lived in a dilapidated house by himself, and the mayor of the town was kind-hearted, and occasionally sent someone to check on the situation to prevent him from dying in the house."
The cafeteria aunt replied.
"So is he dead?"
Qiao Du asked.
"Should. Not dead, right? ”
The cafeteria aunt hesitated.
"Let's get a can and go to him, maybe he'll eat it after we make friends with him."
Qiao Du took the sheep by the hand and touched a can.
The three of them left the cafeteria and headed out of the city.
Soon, Qiao Du saw that among the ruins, there seemed to be cultivated fields, green vegetables and fruits were planted in them, and white poultry gathered in the wooden fence.
At a glance, they discovered Ah Guang's residence.
Because it was the only intact house in the ruins.
However, all that was left of the surrounding houses was ruins, and no one would live in this miserable place.
Next to the house, Twilight sees a winged machine that looks a bit like an early airplane, but with a huge, heavy jet that imbues it with the style of a DIY player.
As they approached the house, a man on crutches stepped out of the house and limped toward the plane.
