Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao, who loved to joke and was always familiar with others, did not notice anything wrong. He raised his right hand and waved:

"Hey, where are your two friends?"

The other party was from Gray Earth, so he didn't change the language on purpose.

The man with a black mole at the end of his right eyebrow turned sideways, looked at this guy, and muttered casually:

"Still in the restaurant, hiccup..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes kept looking:

"It's your boy!

"Do you think I have Alzheimer's disease? I was teased by you just yesterday and have forgotten you today?"

As he spoke, the man stepped forward and raised his fist.

Shang was not angry but happy when he saw Yao. He looked down at the other party from a high position.

At the same time, he also bent his right arm to push up the clothes on his arm.

Compared with when he was relatively thin and not too muscular when he just graduated from college, he has been well-nourished since joining the "Old Tune Group" and is now more than a little bit heavier, and his strength has improved a lot.

After looking at the other person's height and the clearly visible muscles under his clothes, the man with the black mole at the end of his eyebrow silently retracted his hand, shouted "I won't argue with you" and took a step to the side.

At present, he is only one person, and he who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Moreover, at such a distance, even if he wanted to draw his gun, he probably wouldn't be able to do it faster than the opponent's fist.

After watching the man go away, Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin:

"Time is indeed not fixed, but the flow rate is inconsistent with reality."

He hadn't entered this psychological shadow for several days, and he had only spent one night here.

After dawn, the chaos and madness that dominated most human beings seemed to have disappeared.

After extracting the key points, Shang Jianyao touched his belly and muttered to himself:

"Dining room?"

He walked in the direction where the man with the black mole at the end of his eyebrow had come from, looking at the rooms on both sides as he walked.

After arriving at the end of the aisle, he saw a cafeteria there, where many of the people who had chased and intercepted him last night were holding their plates and eating enthusiastically.

Shang Jianyao walked in directly, and no one checked whether he was qualified.

"Well, everyone on the ship must have bought "tickets" or belong to the staff..." Shang Jianyao picked up the largest dinner plate and carefully inspected what food was on it.

The staple food is mainly rice and oatmeal porridge, which contains more water and less quality.

In addition to them, there are also boiled potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes and other cereals.

There are five kinds of dishes in total, namely roasted taro, stir-fried wild vegetables, grilled fish, fried unknown types of meat and grilled fish segments.

The portions of the five dishes are all very generous, but two of them are fish, which inevitably gives people the feeling of eating from the sea. Moreover, whether they are grilled or grilled, they all lack spices and appear very rough.

"Since there are not so many seasonings, why not choose the simplest steamed fish? Could it be that these fish are contaminated, have a strange taste, and need to be suppressed with heavier cooking techniques?" Shang Jianyao looked like he could no longer restore his original appearance. Grilled fish and grilled fish segments, rubbing his chin.

"It's good to have something to eat, why do you care about this?" A cruise ship passenger next to him said to him.

"Yes." Shang Jianyao sincerely realized his mistake.

Then, he spooned a large piece of grilled fish and two pieces of grilled fish and put them on his dinner plate.

——In "Pangu Biology", there are not many opportunities to eat fish. Of course Shang Jianyao wants to try more.

He put a lot of wild vegetables, taro, sweet potatoes, and potatoes on the dinner plate, and took another bowl of oatmeal.

Carrying the full "late night snack", he found a seat and sat down, Gulu swallowed his saliva.

The first thing he tasted was the roasted fish. As he ate, his expression suddenly became strange.

"Cough, cough, um, um..." There seemed to be something in his throat that he couldn't get out.

He's stuck on a fishbone!

Finally, Shang Jianyao could no longer bear it and chose to return to reality.

His figure disappeared into the cruise ship cafeteria.

In the darkness, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, bent his back, and coughed several times in succession.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian asked with concern.

She turned on the lamp casually.

Shang Jianyao calmed down and replied happily:

"Almost died!"

"Didn't I tell you not to try too much and just confirm the current status of the cruise ship?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help but say one more thing, "What happened?"

Shang Jianyao cleared his throat again, confirming again that nothing unnecessary existed.

Then he said truthfully:

"I got stuck on a fish thorn when I ate it!"

"..." Jiang Baimian subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to confirm that his biological cochlea was still there.

When she asked just now, she had imagined many strange scenes, but she still overestimated herself and underestimated Shang Jianyao.

What does it do to get stuck by a fish bone?

Isn't this exploring other people's psychological shadows?

Has the room owner ever been stuck?

"Be more detailed." Jiang Baimian gave up thinking and directly asked Shang Jianyao to explain what the situation was.

Shang Jianyao cheered up and first reported the dishes and staple food in the cruise ship's buffet restaurant.

Then, he said that he found that the abnormality on the cruise ship disappeared and everyone returned to their original appearance.

"So, you started eating in the restaurant?" Jiang Baimian felt that this was indeed something Shang Jianyao could do.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"You asked me to confirm the situation of the cruise ship. Of course I have to measure the level of their chefs."

Jiang Baimian asked feebly:

"How's the level?"

"It's not bad. It's good to be able to achieve this level with poor ingredients and not much seasoning. It's just that they picked too many fish bones." Shang Jianyao looked regretful.

Jiang Baimian confirmed one thing:

This guy is really tasting.

She thought for a moment and brought the topic back on track:

"Every time you enter, it's different from the previous state. Is there a gap between normal and chaos?"

"It's possible." Shang Jianyao said eagerly, "I'll go in and have a look later."

"Don't!" Jiang Baimian was really afraid that this guy would cause trouble again. "After you finish exploring the Second Food Company and go to the First City, you can try whatever you want."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian began to think thoughtfully:

“Every time you enter a cruise ship, time moves forward and jumps around, day and night, day and night.

"If you keep going in and out, and let time keep jumping forward, to the day when the owner of the room leaves the cruise ship, what will happen next? Will you go back to the beginning, or will there be another mystery, or will you just 'clear the level'?"

Shang Jianyao clapped his hands:

"Your idea is very similar to mine."

I don't think this is a word of praise... Jiang Baimian was unable to complain.

"Anyway, I'll give it a try then, go to sleep, go to sleep." She urged Shang Jianyao to get up and clicked out the desk lamp.

The rational and calm Shang Jianyao chose to obey the order.

The next morning, the "old tune team" went out from the Tieshan entrance of the "Underground Ark" and got on their own modified Jeep.

"Let's go!" This time it was Shang Jianyao's turn to drive, and he was very excited.

From here to the ruins of Tieshan City, there were mountain tunnels and highway bridges that could lead directly to it in the old world. However, many of these road sections have long been blocked, and there are mountain monsters who like to throw stones down from high places. Today's ruin hunters often Choose to bypass this mountain.

This time, Shang Jianyao and the awakened person at the "soul corridor" level of the "Salvation Army" had a tacit understanding a few days ago to ask the mountain monsters to "help" clear the blocked road, so that he and others only needed a few You can reach your destination in hours.

——The group of people from the "Salvation Army" contacted the people from the "United Industries" through Mrs. Theresa. Taking advantage of the fact that they still had a week to arrive, they had already set off to the ruins of Tieshan City, preparing to do the work in three to four days. A probe.

"Be careful. If you fall under the cliff, Lao Ge won't be able to bear it." Jiang Baimian reminded.

"I'll do it." Bai Chen suggested.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

“Let this guy expend more energy.

"I'm beginning to miss his injury and sluggish state now."

Shang Jianyao didn't respond. He started the car and turned on the small speaker.

"You carry the load, I ride the horse

"Welcome the sunrise and bid farewell to the sunset..." (Note 1: No need to note it?)

In the open-minded and unrestrained singing, the Jeep drove to the other side of the mountains.

…………

Alert Church, basement level.

Under the guise of visiting old friends, Zug made a request to the "Underground Ark" Management Committee to meet Bai Chen and others.

He essentially wanted to preach.

In his opinion, after the miracle that Zhi Sui watched last night, who among the people present would not believe in "Yougu"?

As for Xin "Yugu", she has three choices. Zug certainly does not want this extraordinary team to join the other two sects.

"President Xue and the others have left." Ulrich did not say the destination of Jiang Baimian and others.

"Left?" Zug was shocked.

After witnessing such a miracle, they just left like this?

Is this still a normal person?

"Yes." Ulrich said nothing more.

Zug wanted to ask again, but Archbishop Dello stopped him with his eyes.

Back in the hall of the Vigilant Church, Zug was about to speak, but Dello had already sighed:

“They weren’t scared away.

"Judging from last night's performance, this is not the first time they have encountered a miracle..."

"This..." Zug couldn't say the next words.

…………

After a smooth journey, interspersed with breaks, at early two o'clock in the afternoon, the "Old Adjustment Team" arrived in the area surrounding the ruins of Tieshan City.

Due to the terrain, they saw the entire ruins from a high position.

Unlike the ruins such as Hongshiji, most of the buildings here collapsed during the chaotic years and the "sweeping" of humans in the early New Era, as well as their battles with each other. Only a few are still standing tenaciously.

In the sunlight, they look like guideposts in a quiet cemetery.
