Chapter 287: Weird Doomsday: The Young Man
The small iron wheels rubbed against the ground, making a gurgling sound.
The third-class carriage, which was originally bustling with activity, suddenly became eerily quiet following this sound.
Next to Li Fangran, the middle-aged lady who had been talking like a screaming chicken suddenly stopped talking as if her throat was strangled.
The entire workshop seemed to have been paused. Everything became quiet, and the only thing that could be seen was the crew passing by pushing a cart.
"Lunch box, 20 ghost notes each, is anyone interested?"
The attendant's eyes swept over all the people and monsters in the car, but everyone/monster who made eye contact with her chose to lower their heads without exception.
"It's time for lunch, doesn't anyone want to eat a delicious box lunch?"
Li Fangran suppressed his curiosity and didn't even glance at the food bucket that was filled with a strange aroma. In this strange world, curiosity kills not only cats, but also people.
Just because she wasn't curious didn't mean that others weren't curious. When all the weirdos were looking down, a young man quietly raised his head and looked around, and happened to meet the flight attendant's eyes.
"Sir, would you like a box lunch? We have the freshest spicy human meat stew, steamed pork ribs, and stir-fried human feet. Which one would you like?"
The young man was stunned. He just raised his head to take a look, why was he called out?
Besides, he is a human being, and these vegetables are all his kind. How can he eat them?
He waved his hand and said weakly:
"I'm not hungry yet, I'm not hungry yet..."
The flight attendant finally caught a passenger, but she didn't want to let him go so easily. She rolled her eyes, pushed the cart to the young man, and put a small piece of pork ribs in a small paper box for him.
"This is free for you to taste. If you think it tastes good, you can try our lunch boxes. After a long journey, a bite of hot food is the most satisfying."
The two weirdos sitting next to the young man immediately showed envious eyes. If they knew there was a benefit of food tasting, they would be the first to look at the flight attendant. It was all because of their lack of money.
But what is honey to you may be poison to me. The tasting of this steamed pork ribs with soup really puzzled the young man.
"Uh, I'm not hungry yet, forget it."
He used this excuse a second time, and even more unfortunate was the fact that his stomach rumbled like thunder.
"Goo~~~"
Now not only the flight attendants were looking at him strangely, but even the guy sitting next to him couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Are you human? Why wouldn't you eat it if I gave it to you for free?"
The flight attendant asked with a smile, but there was a hint of greed and coldness in his eyes.
The weird creatures sitting near the young man changed into their original forms one by one, as if as soon as he showed a flaw, they would rush over and eat him.
"No!!! I'm a weirdo. I won't eat food given to me out of pity. I'll buy it! I don't need your sample!"
"Sir, I'll give you twenty ghost notes. Thank you for your patronage."
Finally, a box lunch was sold in the carriage. The attendant didn't care whether he was a human or not. The train had only been running for a few hours and it was not yet time to hunt.
She quickly packed a set meal of steamed human bone soup for the stunned young man, and after receiving twenty ghost notes, she poured the sample-sized ribs back into the pot and continued to push the cart forward to sell them.
After she left, the whole carriage became lively again. The young man's seat had become the focus of the carriage, and everyone would cast curious glances at him.
Whether he is a human or a fraud will be revealed in this bowl of pork rib soup.
Among the crowd of ghosts with sparkling eyes, there were a few stealthy figures.
I saw an unusually fat player and an unusually thin player huddled together. They looked at each other and communicated by sending text messages to each other on their mobile phones.
"Brother, this looks like a human, do you want to bring him into our camp?"
"You are stupid. Even if he is a human, he is not stupid at all. Our team is not a garbage recycling station. We don't accept anyone. It's just right for him to help us attract firepower."
"Okay, continue to observe if there are other humans in our carriage, and bring him into our camp as soon as possible."
"Received, over."
Li Fangran went with the flow. As long as everyone was observing that person, it would not be unusual for her to take a few glances at him.
No matter how stunned the young man was, he knew that he was in a dilemma. He glanced to the left and saw a monster looking at him with tentacles stretched out, trying to tie him up at any time. He glanced to the right and saw several monsters sharpening their knives and muttering some mysterious spell.
His hands holding the bowl were trembling, and just when he was about to drink it all in one gulp, a turning point occurred.
"Mom, I'm so hungry. What is that? It smells so good. I want to eat it too..."
These words of childishness were spoken so quietly, but they sounded so loud in the ears of the young man.
Who is it? Let him see who it is.
A little girl sitting three rows in front of his left poked her head out and looked at him enviously, her saliva so much at the corners of her mouth that she could hardly hold it back.
Her mother grabbed her daughter and said that on the train, coveting other people's food would be regarded as a provocation.
The young man was delighted, but his remaining rationality told him not to reveal his feelings so obviously.
He held back his nausea, took a sip of the soup, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“It smells so good…”
He sighed at the bowl of soup with an intoxicated look on his face, which strangely attracted the approval of many people who had no money to buy food.
Indeed, on the train, this kind of warm and fresh meat is delicious and tasty, but it is a bit expensive, and they are reluctant to buy it anyway.
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
The little weirdo in front of the left gave another great assist. The young man raised the bowl to his mouth and sighed in a pretentious manner.
"That kid, come here."
The little girl who was crying out for hunger opened her eyes wide, looking somewhat at a loss. Her mother, who looked very young, held the little girl in her arms, stroked her hair, and consoled her:
"Don't be afraid, mom is here."
After saying this, she put the little girl on the chair and stood up.
"What are you going to do?!"
The young mother's face was full of determination.
The young man sighed, looked at the mother, walked over and put the meal in his hand in the mother's hand.
"I just drank a sip of soup. If you don't mind, give it to the child. It's the time for growth."
After saying this, he put the lunch box in the young mother's hand.
Hehe, finally this hot potato was thrown away.
The young man secretly applauded his own intelligence.
But this look, in the eyes of others, is something else.
"Does this kind of weirdness really exist in this world?"
Not to mention other weird things, even the young mother was stunned.
Considering that he had just said that he would not eat charity food and rejected the food sample offered by the flight attendant, everyone had an inexplicable illusion that perhaps he really was that kind of person?
This scene fell into the eyes of Li Fangran who was watching through the gap between the seats. Others did not realize that the young man was a human being, but she could tell at a glance.
She knows the importance of having a good teammate. Isn't this a good option right now?
