Chapter 142: Chili

"Be careful when scalding, be careful when scalding, your noodles are good!"

The boss came over with the noodles. The noodle soup was steaming and looked delicious.

It's a pity that everyone here is already on the verge of vomiting in Sewage Town.

After careful consideration, Ye Lan spoke.

"Boss, how long have I been gone?"

The boss was stunned. His thought of asking about the taste was interrupted, and then he replied without thinking: "It has been more than three months, right? You suddenly disappeared at that time. We almost thought it was an illusion..."

Three months? It matches the time I guessed.

As her thoughts moved slightly, Ye Lan casually chatted: "How have you been lately?"

It is difficult to doubt the mystery behind these words. It is usually customary to greet acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time.

"Later, it was okay..."

Looking at the hesitant boss, Yelan's face remained calm and seductive.

"What happened? What happened next?"

After hesitating for a moment, the restaurant owner shook his head.

"It's nothing. After the magic sickle left, the town has never been attacked by aberrant creatures again, and its life is very stable."

He talked as if he wanted to convince even himself.

"We occasionally hear about the situation from the outside world. It's pretty good here. Although it's not as good as Glory City, it's still acceptable. This is the end of the world."

Nodding slightly, Yelan was stunned.

"Are you free to leave?"

Wenyan's restaurant owner was obviously puzzled: "Yes, why not?"

For a moment, Ye Lan felt a little stupid. The blockade of Sewage Town happened later. No matter how far we go back, it can't be traced back to this day!

"I mean, is anyone leaving?"

The restaurant owner nodded immediately: "Yes, but relatively few. It's so dangerous outside, where to go and how to go? Except for some young people who are not afraid of death and want to see the outside world, who goes out?"

Yes... In these post-apocalyptic days, traveling far away is no longer an era where you can just get on a train or fly and go wherever you want.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, who are these two..."

"My friends in Glory City." Ye Lan took over the words without giving him a chance to elaborate: "What is the mayor doing? And that Amon. I miss them after not seeing each other for so long. "

The boss was stunned: "Mayor? You work in the office. We don't know. We are very busy every day. As for Amon..."

His eyes were slightly different: "Who knows, he is a kid! He is messing around every day."

"Hey, how many are there? Here, let's see what we can eat."

A new customer came to the restaurant. He smiled and nodded to the boss, indicating that you should go and get busy. Then he lowered his head and ate the noodles.

The restaurant owner left here, and only the three of them were left. They looked around and started communicating in a low voice.

"Did you find anything?"

Bliss.

Yelan ate the noodles and nodded: "Yes."

"It's different from the sewage town of the future. They don't want to eat this thing, but they have to eat it for some reason." He couldn't help but echo the restaurant owner's reaction: "So when these foods are mentioned at this time, you can still see the smile on their faces. It feels strange. But sixty years later, they have become completely accustomed to it, and they still don’t understand why we are so resistant to this thing.”

Xia Qingyu nodded and sighed.

"I didn't find that much. All I can confirm is that the photo frame hanging over there is still just a derivative of the anomaly, not the original thing."

Not the body?

Ye Lan looked at the other side of the wall, where the picture frame was hanging neatly. This was also his first time to sit in his 'special seat' at the Mosquito Restaurant.

There are too many people over there, so it’s not convenient to talk.

"This is very useful information." Ye Lan said: "When I came here last time, I was wondering if the photo frame here was a breakthrough, but due to the situation at the time, I couldn't come in to investigate."

"I sneaked in at that time, and I have already seen it once." Suddenly, Xia Qingyu realized something, with a strange expression: "Is that when you recognized me?"

With a slight nod, Yelan stopped eating noodles... she really couldn't eat any more.

He's not a real pig, and he's almost vomiting if he eats this stuff every day. He only ingests it for the Black Devil Chili Pepper...wait a minute!

Devil's black pepper?

Not to mention this bowl of noodles, I didn’t seem to see it at all in the quick glance at the menu just now?

"Boss!" Ye Lan raised his hand, signaling that he needed service: "Can you order some chili? I have a strong taste and I really can't get used to it!"

Hearing this, the restaurant owner who had just arrived looked at Ye Lan with an extremely outrageous expression.

"Hell! Where can we get chili peppers after this apocalypse? Are there any chili peppers to eat in Glory City?"

Is there no sewage town?

Ye Lan raised his eyebrows and skipped the topic.

"In a big city, there are many people, so there is always some inventory left. Don't worry, I'm just asking casually."

That's it...

Taking a look at the untouched noodles on Yelan's table, the boss seemed very unwilling to admit defeat.

This is questioning your own cooking skills!

"We usually use insect juice for seasoning, but you don't have it here. It must be lacking in soul! How about some?"

Yelan:......

No need to bother you.

After the boss left again, several people couldn't help but look at each other.

"There are no black devil peppers in the current sewage town?"

"Maybe it was cultivated later?" Xia Qingyu put forward his own guess: "At this time, everyone should not have adapted to the post-apocalyptic world."

But Ye Lan frowned and did not agree with this statement.

Looking at Ye Lan's entanglement, Xu Lezhang couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Is this matter... not that important?"

Not important? Ye Lan shook his head gently.

"Have you forgotten what you said about the purpose of Guanghui City?"

Xu Lezhang:...

The answer is exactly the opposite, this matter is very important!

The power of the devil black pepper is too terrible. So the first and most basic question is, why does it grow in the sewage town? There is no now, so when did it appear?

This is not the effect that a crop should have at all. Even if it is a product brought about by abnormal influence, it seems too excessive!

Although it is very weak, it can even restore abnormal spiritual energy!

According to the Mind Cat, abnormal creations are always and must be inferior to the abnormal creation. And if an abnormal energy can continuously create things that restore its power, wouldn't it have been invincible long ago?

And as the town defense team surfaced, Ye Lan could gradually guess. The people who tried to destroy the vegetable field were the town defense team!

In addition, the "robbery" that he encountered in the alley was probably premeditated. It was Luo Chou who sent out to assassinate or at least test him, who ignored the commission, did not listen to the advice, and was put into the sewage town by Arthur!

"It's really dangerous. I didn't know anything at that time, but I was already caught in the battle of wits and courage between the two forces in the sewage town..." Ye Lan murmured.
