Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 196 The Bizarre Post-Apocalyptic World 13

Liao Zhuang scratched his head and nudged Zhuang Damao beside him with his elbow: "What's going on now? They said Xiao Li saved them before, but now they want to tear him apart."

Zhuang Damao was equally bewildered: "How would I know?"

At this moment, Zheng Dayong tentatively asked, "We're not from this town. Xiao Li did save our family. Is there some misunderstanding?"

The atmosphere froze for a moment after Zheng Dayong said this, then the middle-aged woman cried and cursed, "He saved you? How is that possible? He's inhuman, a monster who eats human flesh, how could he possibly save people?"

She glared fiercely at Zheng Dayong: "You're definitely in cahoots with them!"

Zheng Dayong trembled at the middle-aged woman's fierce gaze and quickly waved his hands to explain, "I... I really wasn't with them. I was just telling the truth. If it weren't for Xiao Li that day, my family would have been eaten by those zombies long ago. There are zombies everywhere outside, and the country has fallen. He brought us to this town and we've been able to live a peaceful life here."

Although things seemed to be out of his control after they arrived here, at least the three of them were still alive, and he was quite grateful to Xiao Li.

Lin Xiaoqian said to Xiao Li, "Now that things have come to this, don't you have anything to say?"

Xiao Li seemed lost in her own thoughts, ignoring Lin Xiaoqian, and kept saying, "No, it's not like that..."

Lin Xiaoqian turned to Mo Ying and said, "Why don't you just search his soul directly, but try not to damage his soul."

Mo Ying raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and raised his hand towards Xiao Li's head.

"Since it is a soul search, there is no way it will not damage the soul. At best, it will cause dementia; at worst, it will cause death."

Xiao Li's body trembled slightly. Although he couldn't see the hand above his head, he could sense someone standing in front of him, seemingly about to do something.

"Wait...wait a minute."

Mo Ying's hand paused.

"I...I might know where your companions are. If I help you find them, can you spare my brother?"

Mo Ying didn't retract his hand: "Negotiate terms? It's a bit late. Even if you don't tell me now, I'll find out soon enough."

Xiao Li said tremblingly, "You can't hurt me now. If I'm not here, Xiao Ze will really go crazy, and then your companions will be in danger."

Mo Ying didn't speak, but she withdrew her hand.

Xiao Li sensed that the danger had receded and immediately said, "There is a cellar under my wooden house. Your companions may be in the cellar."

Lin Xiaoqian retorted, "We didn't find any cellar in your house at all, so stop trying to pull any tricks."

"The entrance to the cellar isn't in the cabin, it's somewhere else. I can take you there."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately panicked and shouted, "Don't let him go! He's a monster! Kill him right now!"

Others in the town were also clamoring that Xiao Li should not be let off the hook.

Lin Xiaoqian immediately cast a silencing spell to seal their mouths, preventing them from making a sound.

Saving lives is the priority. The longer Jiang Shuang stays outside, the greater the danger she may face.

Because there was no spiritual energy outside the restaurant, and they were worried that the Binding Rope wouldn't be able to hold Xiao Li, they replaced it with a high-tech shackle that Mo Ying had brought back from the orc world, specifically used for binding prisoners.

Liao Zhuang was left alone in the restaurant, watching the people in town, mainly trying to glean more information about the world from them.

Lin Xiaoqian and the other two took Xiao Li and teleported directly to the flying car in front of the wooden house.

Mo Ying, that clever little devil, stuck a replica anchor point on the flying car parked in front of the wooden house; otherwise, they would have had to drive another flying car over.

Having witnessed the extraordinary skills of the group, Xiao Li dared not delay and quickly led the way. The group followed behind him, passing by one side of the wooden house and arriving at a pile of rocks behind it.

Behind the wooden house lay a multitude of terrifying-looking monsters.

They opened their eyes after sensing the movement and looked up. Since Lin Xiaoqian and the other two had all been covered with invisibility talismans, the monsters could not see them.

Seeing that only Xiao Li had come over, the monsters lowered their heads and continued to close their eyes and sleep.

Before long, they arrived at a huge rock. Xiao Li walked over to the rock and felt around at the bottom for a while. Then, with a "click," the rock slowly moved to one side, revealing a dark hole.

"This...this is the entrance to the cellar," Xiao Li said to the air in a trembling voice.

Mo Ying went in first, followed closely by Zhuang Damao, who gave Xiao Li a push, and Lin Xiaoqian also followed cautiously behind.

The cellar was dry, with no damp smell. As you went deeper into the passage, the ground was paved with smooth stone slabs, without a trace of moss, making it very easy to walk on.

"Brother?" A clear, childlike voice rang out from inside.

Xiao Li asked anxiously, "Xiao Ze, did you sneak out again?"

There was no further conversation inside. Instead, a little boy wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt came out. He had fair skin, clear and bright eyes, but his lips were slightly pale.

"The steamed buns made by the family on the street corner are delicious. I brought some to my brother yesterday. Did he eat them?"

Looking at her younger brother, Xiao Li felt a mix of emotions, both heartache and worry.

"Brother ate it, it was delicious." Xiao Li forced a smile and patted Xiao Ze's head.

Then, he felt a push on his waist and immediately asked with a serious expression, "Did you kidnap one of them?"

Xiaoze stared with wide eyes and shook his head: "No, brother, I've already evolved. I won't be able to control myself from eating people anymore, so why would I grab people?"

Xiao Li's body trembled slightly as she said in a dry voice, "Tell your brother the truth."

Xiaoze tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Brother, what's wrong? You..."

The next second, his expression suddenly turned fierce, and he turned around to look: "Someone's here!"

It turned out that while the two brothers were talking, Lin Xiaoqian secretly went deeper into the cellar and soon saw an operating table on which Jiang Shuang, who was lying unconscious, was lying.

Lin Xiaoqian gently shook Jiang Shuang, but Jiang Shuang did not respond. Moreover, her limbs and neck were tightly bound by ropes on the operating table, and there were many needle marks on her arms.

Lin Xiaoqian frowned, picked up the operating table, and carried it back to the restaurant.

The moment the two disappeared, Ozawa sensed something was wrong.

When he returned to find the cellar empty and the experimental subject he had worked so hard to obtain vanished into thin air, his anger erupted like a volcano.

Ozawa let out an angry roar, and the monster lying on the ground outside also became enraged at the same time.
