I run a food city in the last days

Jiang Yiyin looked at him puzzled.

Gu Huaiting rubbed his chin: "The food was fried in a pot and put on a plate. Everyone else is fine, but I'm the only one who got infected?"

When he said this, she felt something was wrong.

Putting aside whether her cooking skills would have made such a mistake, how come he was the only one who ate the poisonous part of the food that everyone put on the same plate?

It would be too much of a coincidence.

Sun Hao and others recalled that when they ate today, although they were still afraid of the fungi at first, in the end everyone basically took a few bites, and the only difference was the amount.

They all became serious and immediately started thinking about various conspiracy theories.

But he heard Gu Huaiting say: "I'm fine now. You can go and rest first."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to her: "Ayin, stay with me for a while longer."

"...cough." Sun Hao pulled Axiong away with an expression like "I've eaten enough dog food."

She was a little puzzled by his sudden coquettish attitude, but she still obediently handed over her hand and let him pull her to sit down.

The door was tightly closed by Sun Hao. Gu Huaiting leaned her head against hers and suddenly whispered: "Do you remember what I just said?"

She frowned: "It's strange to say that I didn't understand a word of what you just said to the air. I can only confirm that it was neither Chinese nor English."

He was silent for a moment: "...I feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" She became nervous, "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

"No." Seeing that she was worried about him, he hugged her a little tighter and rubbed her temples before continuing, "I actually have memories of the scene after the poisoning, and I don't think you can listen to what I said. understand the language.”

She frowned: "Maybe you were in a hallucination and subconsciously thought you were speaking Chinese?"

"But I feel like that's my mother tongue."

She blinked, recalling the strange syllables she had just heard, and then looking at Gu Huaiting's face, which was obviously Chinese, she couldn't help but wonder that the unintelligible language was a dialect of an ethnic minority.

He pressed his forehead and said solemnly: "My intuition tells me that the memory I lost is very important. I must find an opportunity to go to the Garden of Eden."

However, they never expected that Wutong Base would receive the news the next day:

Eden Base is temporarily closed to the outside world.

"What does it mean to be closed to the outside world?" When she asked, she was praying that it wasn't what she had guessed.

Gu Huaiting looked solemn: "Before the announcement of reopening, the Eden Base will no longer accept anyone to enter, and no one will be sent out. It has become an isolated place for the time being."

"Damn, did they do it on purpose?"

The two of them were discussing a trip to the Eden Base yesterday, and today it was announced that it was closed. This coincidence made people suspicious.

But Eden probably didn't know their plan. What happened to make them make such a choice?

Gu Huaiting understood the situation better than she did, and was worried about more than just what happened: "Now the campsites used by everyone when traveling far away, the medicines used to drive away mutant plants, and many other things come from the Eden base. If this closure time If it’s too long, there may be problems with these things.”

She was more optimistic: "It shouldn't take long, right? The survivors in the Garden of Eden also need to survive. Can they be completely self-sufficient?"

After saying that, seeing everyone's ugly faces, she opened her eyes wide: "No, is it really possible?"

She found it hard to imagine that even in the original world, her motherland was strong and hard-working, and could not survive independently of the entire world. No matter how powerful the Eden Base was, it was just a survivor base. Self-sufficient?

Doesn’t that mean that everything they do is “contribution”? After all, they can live well without communicating with the outside world at all. Whether it is building campsites or developing various pharmaceuticals and high-tech products, there is no need to use them for other bases.

She finally understood why the Garden of Eden was so beautiful in the eyes of the survivors.

This is simply the real-life incarnation of the legendary Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

She asked Gu Huaiting again: "If they say it's closed, it's closed? With such a big base, everyone can always find it by themselves, right?"

"The strange thing is here," he shook his head with a wry smile. "Unless there are residents of Eden to lead the way, or you have obtained the official residence qualification of Eden, once the closure is announced, others will not be able to find the location of the base."

It was getting more and more unbelievable. She couldn't help but doubt the rationality of the existence of the Garden of Eden, and even thought about the magic spell that hid the address in someone's soul in a story that she had read that was popular all over the world.

Could it be that the Garden of Eden walked away in a magical style?

After thinking hard for a long time, I still have no clue, but there is only one thing confirmed——

Unless the Eden Base is lifted from the blockade, their plan to find out what's going on cannot be carried out.

What else can be done? I can only endure it.

However, the temporary failure of the plan does not mean that they will be idle. In fact, both she and Gu Huaiting are busier than before.

As the weather improves, Gu Huaiting's team plans to go out for a business trip.

But there were too many orders in the food court, and she really couldn't spare the time to go with them, so she had to hand over the remaining two self-service ordering machines to them.

She had already thought of the placement.

One was placed at Longwu Base. She didn't like the style of that base, but it didn't stop her from making money from them.

But there is no need to let those people come to the food city. The takeout business is different. We don't need to meet each other, just talk about money.

She chose the survivor base where Yu Wei lived before his death to place another self-service ordering machine.

Yu Wei was the supernatural being who was trapped in the gray snow and died as soon as she rescued the person.

After the snow stopped, she and Gu Huaiting took the time to inquire around the surrounding bases, and finally found Yu Wei's relatives.

Upon hearing the news of his death, their eyes were red, but when they spoke, they could only feel melancholy:

"Actually, we have already guessed that he hasn't come back for so long."

"But thank you for letting us... no longer have to worry about it every day."

"There is no need to leave food for him every day."

As they talked, they couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and they just cried silently.

There are too many things to carry in the apocalypse, and the shadow of death will come over you at some point, and even the sadness is only faint.

No one had the extra energy to cry loudly.

Their peaceful faces with tears in their eyes were deeply etched in her mind, but there was nothing she could do to persuade them.

No one can empathize with the emotions of separation and death for others.

The only thing she can do is to bring a little change to the survivor base, hoping that the food can soothe people's hearts and bring a glimmer of hope in the apocalypse full of suffering.
