Chapter 100: Addiction and Rules and Violations
Jiang Wan listened to it, although she didn't know what he meant by the lack of time in his mouth, but overall, the faster the movement, of course, the better.
She stretched out her hand, her fingertips scurrying over the shelves, and after the two of them walked about 180 meters away, they walked from the small package of snacks at the beginning to the area where the daily necessities were dropped off on the sign.
In this area, a large number of strangely shaped items are lined up on the shelves, and they walk all the way, the furniture with the rice cooker is a head, the brain giggling, its lips and tongue have long been removed, but it can still make sounds.
Above that head, Jiang Wan raised her head, and her gaze fell on a line of words.
"Automatic Rice Cooker – Automatic Reminder & Time Signal"
She was silent for a moment, a little at a loss where to start complaining.
"Obviously, it would be more convenient to develop technology." She muttered in a low voice, but heard Chen Qing's voice beside her: "It is impossible to develop a technological ...... in this kind of place."
He inhaled deeply, the desire in his mind beginning to turn into pain, feeling the discomfort coming from all over his body and the ends of his limbs, and came to the conclusion that he could be relieved by just opening another handful of snacks for the entities......
He lowered his head, and his voice was a little weak: "If civilization develops in the Backrooms one day."
They've got language and communication, and they can hunt the intruders in hordes, and try to take away some of the inconsequential investigators from them.
As long as they succeed once, they will gain a lot of wealth, and one can be brought into the face of others, and the other can bring luck to the big toe.
They can follow these investigators, tear a piece of minced meat from a huge ball of meat, swallow it once a day, and live happily.
For them, technology and thinking are the least necessary existences.
Why waste your energy on thinking, just see who is unhappy to kill it, anyway, the entity depends on the rules to survive......"
But as he spoke, he was suddenly stunned.
Yes, entities depend on the rules to survive, but if they break the rules, and it is the supermarket, or the entity that has become this supermarket, to attack them, then what do these entities that wander in the supermarket do?
"Rules...... Rules. ”
He was silent, his hands loosening the cart.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wan looked at him, as if she was a little puzzled, and she looked at Chen Qing's trembling hands, which was even more strange.
But Chen Qing listened, he just took a deep breath, and he restrained the most direct desire from his heart and from the nerve endings and shook his head at Jiang Wan: "I'm going to find those entities......"
"What are you looking for them for?" Jiang Wan frowned puzzled.
"I don't think so."
He paused for a moment, and repeated the words posted at the door of the supermarket: "1. Stealing is prohibited in the supermarket.
2. Order evasion is prohibited in supermarkets.
3. It is forbidden to help the goods escape. ”
He turned his head to look at Jiang Wan, and then continued: "First, second, whether we have already violated the rules."
But you see, nothing is happening now, and it can even be said that it is because after we ate the food, it was after we violated the law, and it was safe. ”
He pointed around, his eyes clearer as he thought, "There's definitely something wrong with this place...... Maybe it's the rules, maybe it's the environment in this Backroom......"
He was silent for about a few seconds before he asked Jiang Wan again, "How long will it take you to find Zhang Lan's body?" ”
"How long does it take...... she thought for a moment, "twenty minutes." ”
"That's half an hour. Half an hour is up. We meet at the exit of the supermarket, and if you find it in advance, you will have to wait until the 30th minute to show up there, understand? ”
She listened to Chen Qing's words faster and faster, and her face began to feel a little nervous.
It was the first time she'd been alone in the Backrooms, but she didn't want to be the last.
She took a deep breath and nodded with a blazing gaze, "OK." ”
"From now on, go your separate ways."
As soon as the words in Chen Qing's mouth fell, the mobile phones on the two of them began to count down, and their bodies turned, one walked in the direction behind him, and the other set off towards the road ahead.
But it was only less than three or four seconds, and after Chen Qing and Jiang Wan were separated for dozens of meters, his knees began to be unable to support Chen Qing's body, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, he raised his hand to support the shelf next to him, and the goods on the shelf were either sarcastic or laughing maniacally.
He supported his body and leaned himself against the wall, he felt the weakness of his body, and thought of Zhang Lan in his mind......
No, maybe it was a sentence left by Zhang Lan's parents.
"This place has medicine to save her. There must be medicine in this place that can save me. ”
He was silent, his gaze on the distance inside the supermarket.
"How nice it is to have a cigarette......," he muttered with a chuckle, "but I don't know how to smoke." ”
He smiled and laughed, and was silent again: "Maybe the smoke can't suppress this feeling......"
He walked farther and farther away with the shelves around him, and when he reached the snack area, Chen Qing saw that those entities were picking and choosing.
And this time, they didn't always look at Chen Qing, they just raised their heads and glanced at it after feeling the comer, and just this glance made Chen Qing realize that their attitude towards themselves had changed.
They raised their heads, then lowered their heads again, staring at the food on the shelves as if everything in front of them was none of their business.
And what about Chen Qing? Chen Qing walked all the way to these people, and even walked in front of them no more than three or five meters away, and they didn't raise their heads.
He watched as the entities tore open their packages and watched as they poured the pure white larvae out of the pouch into their mouths, a pale green liquid spilling from the corners of their mouths and happy smiles on their faces.
He was trembling, he felt the craving in his heart like a drug addiction, and his body seemed to be weak enough to be treated by the adult worms.
He gritted his teeth and leaned against the shelf.
No, absolutely not.
He thought desperately, thinking, he had relied on ...... And the pain.
He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and broke off a piece of iron from the shelf, and he raised his hand, and the iron drill pierced into his thigh.
Not enough, it's not enough.
But the pain was enough for him to think.
"They break the rules.
Stealing is prohibited inside the supermarket, they have already stolen food. Wondering if the food was not a commodity......
Evasion is prohibited in the supermarket, and they will be put back after eating, is this not evading orders?
No, these two rules are not right! ”
