Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 193 The Bizarre Post-Apocalyptic World 10

“These black crystals are originally stored in the brains of these people, and naturally contain some of their memories. I just saw a tall and thin person in the crystal in Zheng Dayong’s brain, but I couldn’t see his face. So I want to put in a few more people and observe them more carefully from their memories.”

"I see. You should have said so earlier. This would have been much easier." Lin Xiaoqian waved his hand. "Brother Zhuang and Liao Zhuang, you two stand on either side of the door. I'll open it when I say open and close it when I say close."

Zhuang Damao and Liao Zhuang stood beside the two doors as Lin Xiaoqian had requested.

Lin Xiaoqian stood facing the door, but at a certain distance, and said, "Open the door!"

As Zhuang Damao and the other man opened the door, the people at the door surged in like a tide, roaring and baring their teeth as they lunged at Lin Xiaoqian.

Those people were electrocuted with a 'crackling' sound just a step away from Lin Xiaoqian, and those who rushed in from behind were tripped by the people who fell in front and were also electrocuted, quickly forming a small mountain.

"close the door!"

Zhuang Damao and Liao Zhuang quickly used all their strength to close the door.

Looking at the mountain of people in front of her, Lin Xiaoqian put her hands on her hips, turned around and asked Mo Ying, "Is this enough?"

Mo Ying nodded, somewhat dumbfounded.

Lin Xiaoqian clapped her hands. "Alright then, you keep studying it. Let me know when you find any clues. I'm going to steam some buns now."

This bunch of people is enough for Mo Ying to study for a while. Since she's just idling around anyway, she might as well go steam some buns and consider it Plan B for saving Jiang Shuang.

Yesterday she made braised pork buns, but Lin Xiaoqian wasn't in the mood for fancy fillings today. She planned to make a simple pork filling instead.

I picked out a large piece of pork hind leg with a good balance of fat and lean meat from the warehouse.

Lin Xiaoqian wielded two knives and finely chopped the pork leg into mince. With each chop, she imagined the meat beneath her knife as the person who had taken Jiang Shuang away, and the anger in her heart grew stronger with each movement of her hands.

Once the meat is chopped, add scallions, ginger, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorn water to remove any fishy smell and enhance the aroma. Then add some salt, light soy sauce, and other seasonings to adjust the flavor. Finally, add some chopped scallions and drizzle with hot oil. The simple fresh meat bun filling is now ready.

Although the process is relatively simple, the filling made by Lin Xiaoqian's hands will definitely taste extraordinary.

Kneading the dough and wrapping the buns were done in one go, and soon an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Mo Ying was extracting memories from his subordinates when the aroma wafted over, slightly distracting him.

Liao Zhuang couldn't help but swallow hard. "Xiao Qian's cooking skills are getting better and better. I have to go eat a steamed bun first. Um, Mo Ying, call me if you need anything." With that, he dashed into the kitchen.

Zhuang Damao was also drawn in by the aroma and couldn't move. His eyes were fixed on the kitchen. He said to Mo Ying, "Mo Ying, I'll go help Xiao Qian first. If you find anything, just give me a shout." Before he finished speaking, he had already walked towards the kitchen.

Mo Ying looked at their retreating figures with some resentment.

He really wanted to go to the kitchen and eat the steamed buns Xiaoqian made.

Distracted, Mo Ying suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his hand suddenly cut off. Looking down, he saw his subordinates wriggling forward. Startled, Mo Ying quickly cast a spell to bind them.

However, it wasn't just this one person; others also began to stir, and some of those who had been stunned by the electric shock showed signs of waking up.

The group of people outside who couldn't get in pounded on the door loudly.

Mo Ying quickly tied up everyone in the room.

As a result, even though these people were tied up, they still writhed and crawled on the ground toward the kitchen.

Mo Ying was completely baffled. What was wrong with these people?

What exactly is in the kitchen that's so enticing them to go further in?

Could it be that you also want to eat steamed buns?

Mo Ying felt that her idea was somewhat absurd.

Use magic quickly to immobilize those people writhing on the ground.

After Mo Ying reminded everyone in the room of their memories, he went into the kitchen, grabbed a plump white bun from the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Your steamed buns smell so good, even those zombies outside can't stand it."

Lin Xiaoqian saw him and quickly asked, "Moying, are you done? How did it go? Did you find any clues about Sister Shuang?"

With a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, Mo Ying mumbled, "Um... all done. We have some clues."

He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and continued, "I found a place in their memories, a place where everyone is forbidden to go."

Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Where? Do you know why it's forbidden?"

Mo Ying shook his head: "I only know from their memories that the forbidden area is located in the very center of the town, and that's all I know."

Lin Xiaoqian immediately stood up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly. I wonder how Sister Shuang is doing now?"

Mo Ying swallowed the last bite of his steamed bun, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, saving Jiang Shuang is quite simple. As long as we keep her conscious, she can teleport back to the restaurant herself through the anchor point. The problem is that there are so many people blocking the way outside. How are we going to get out? Also, the fog outside is so thick. How are we going to find the direction of the forbidden area?"

'Bang!' Lin Xiaoqian slammed his hand on the table: 'That's easy. The fourth floor rooftop is the airfield. Don't we have aircraft and flying cars? Just pull one out and fly it up high. I don't believe we can't figure out what secrets this crappy place is hiding. If I wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting Sister Daoshuang, I would have already blasted this place to the ground with a rocket launcher and let's see who tries to cause any more trouble.'

After making a basket of steamed buns, Lin Xiaoqian felt more and more like she was the one who was being bullied. They had just taken her people away and even came to threaten them. Wasn't this just letting them bully her face?

Can this be tolerated?

That can't be done!

What a wretched town! Once she finds Jiang Shuang, she'll settle accounts with that elusive creature.

Lin Xiaoqian untied her apron and threw it on the table before walking directly into the elevator. Before Mo Ying and the other two could react to what Lin Xiaoqian had said, she disappeared into the elevator.

Mo Ying, Zhuang Damao, and Liao Zhuang looked at each other, still not quite understanding what Lin Xiaoqian had said.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!"

The three of them quickly climbed up the stairs, hurriedly followed Lin Xiaoqian, and jumped into the car at the last second before it took off.

Lin Xiaoqian sat in the driver's seat, her eyes resolute, her hands skillfully operating the control panel, and the flying car quickly ascended into the air like an arrow released from a bow.

As the flying car continued to climb, the town below gradually came into view.

The thick fog enveloped the town like a thick quilt, but there was no fog in a large open area in the very center of the town. From above, the entire fog looked like a giant white donut.

Zhuang Damao pointed at that place and shouted, "Is that the forbidden area?"

Lin Xiaoqian snorted and said, "Besides this place, where else could be stranger than this? This must be it."
