Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend
Chapter 168: A Husband's Doomsday Self-Saving Guide 19
"We have no money." Zhang Chunliang announced the bad news.
It is twelve o'clock noon, time for lunch.
"I feel a little hungry." Li Mufeng leaned back in his chair weakly. He had only eaten some biscuits since last night and had not eaten for more than ten hours. "Is there anything else to eat?"
Ever since Zhang Chunliang's pet octopus ate their ten thousand yuan because of greed, he suddenly became calm and no longer felt as guilty as before.
"Also have some biscuits with water, it will fill you up." Wu Mei suggested. She herself is an alien species and actually has no interest in human food. Without consuming any substance, she should be able to hold on for another three months.
So she didn't eat anything and gave all the snacks to Zhang Chunliang and Li Mufeng.
Zhang Chunliang bought these foods from a vending machine because he had a great demand for food and had almost finished them during this period.
But this is still not enough.
Starting at nine o'clock in the morning, he stopped taking any food and gave the few foods he had to Li Mufeng.
Li Mufeng reached out to take the biscuits on the table, and a tentacle quickly flew over and slapped his hand hard.
Li Mufeng pulled his hand back in pain, and while shaking it off, he looked at the octopus lying on Zhang Chunliang's arm with an indescribable look: "Are you going to do nothing about it?! It's too much!"
The little octopus hooked the biscuit bag and handed it to Zhang Chunliang affectionately.
Zhang Chunliang's throat rolled. He was really hungry and his whole stomach was twitching with pain.
But he still held the biscuit bag that the little octopus handed to him and pushed it to Li Mufeng: "Eat it, I'll think of a way."
He no longer had enough money to buy expensive snacks from the vending machine.
Just like Wu Mei said, they also need to save money to buy supplies.
Another conductor pushed the dining cart through their carriage. This time, there were fewer meal boxes on it than before - this train had not yet reached the station, so the passengers had no choice but to eat train meals after they had finished the food they brought with them.
Zhang Chunliang took a look at the price. A box of rice was 300 yuan, which was much more expensive than before.
“In the end, the hungry passengers will fight over the lunch boxes. Even if some smart people think that these lunch boxes may be foods of unknown origin, they will have no choice but to eat them.” Li Mufeng chewed the biscuits cherishingly, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
Although Li Mufeng and Wu Mei had forgotten the fate of the person who ate the lunch box, their instinct as game players told them that the more the game forces you to do something, the faster you will die from it.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Mei stared at Zhang Chunliang and suddenly asked.
Zhang Chunliang had been staring at the conductor who had just passed by, and only now came to his senses.
"It's a bit strange." He said, "The conductor just walked past and brought a gust of cool air." Unlike the coolness brought by the air conditioner in the train, the coolness brought by the conductor was as cold as if it had just been thawed out of the freezer.
He had only felt such coldness in one person - the strange "conductor" yesterday.
He couldn't help but frown and looked at the conductor again - he walked very slowly. Zhang Chunliang originally thought that he was trying to delay time to attract more people to buy his lunch boxes. Now thinking about it, it was probably because he had just thawed and couldn't move very flexibly.
Who is he? Is he the same person as the strange "conductor" from yesterday?
"Lunch box - 350 yuan a portion - lunch box -"
Shortly after the conductor left, the sound of hawking was heard again behind him.
"Why are they getting more and more expensive?" a passenger complained, "Aren't boxed lunches getting cheaper and cheaper?"
Many passengers are thinking of waiting for the lunch box prices to drop before buying them.
This time, the person who entered the carriage was a female conductor. She was wearing heavy makeup, had a very stiff smile, and her walking posture was a bit unnatural.
Zhang Chunliang smelled a cold and musty smell on her - she was with the conductor in front.
The little octopus suddenly stretched out its tentacles and grabbed the conductor's sleeve.
"Rip——" Her clothes were actually torn.
"Would you like to buy a box lunch?" The conductor seemed not to notice that his clothes were torn, and asked with a stiff smile, "Be sure to buy it...as soon as possible. The later you wait, the more expensive it will be."
"What kind of crap rice are you selling? It tastes much worse than yesterday. Is it stale?!"
A passenger started to complain, saying that he did not buy yesterday's train meal because it was too expensive, but the tempting taste kept lingering in his mind, so today he reluctantly bought one and prepared to try it. However, he did not expect that the lunch box he bought from the previous conductor was quite unpalatable, with a sour taste as if it had been left for a long time.
He became furious and started shouting, trying to get the conductor to pay him.
The conductor ignored the angry man and waited patiently for Zhang Chunliang's answer.
Zhang Chunliang had an idea and reached out to pick up a lunch box and looked at the bottom - this lunch box actually had a formal label, but it showed that the expiration date was one month ago.
One month ago, according to Wu Mei, this was the day when the train was contaminated by strange tentacles and an accident happened.
These boxed lunches most likely came from the trains before they were contaminated!
"I'll buy one box... no, two boxes." He took out the change Wu Mei gave him and bought two boxes of lunch.
Li Mufeng's eyes were incredible: "You are really hungry."
The conductor paused for a moment, gently peeled off the tentacles of the little octopus, then carefully smoothed his torn uniform and slowly left.
All the while, she ignored the angry passenger.
"What kind of attitude is this!" the passenger exploded. He ran out and chased the conductor away swearing.
Zhang Chunliang looked at the lunch box for a moment, then took off the lid, scooped a spoonful of rice into his mouth, and chewed it in big mouthfuls - it tasted bad, but it gave him a sense of security to live.
Li Mufeng swallowed his saliva: "Can I eat it? It looks... quite fragrant."
Zhang Chunliang finished most of the lunch box in a few bites, and looked at the other box with some dissatisfaction.
Li Mufeng's eyes tightened, and he quickly grabbed the lunch box and said, "Dad, this is for me!"
So Zhang Chunliang could only regretfully eat up his lunch box completely, without leaving even a grain of rice.
He pinched the little octopus's paw that was about to snatch the other lunch box, and wiped its mouth clean: "You can eat it, there's no problem."
At this time, the man who had just caused trouble for the conductor came back again.
He still looked somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not complain, and it seemed that the matter had been resolved.
"What's going on? Why are those guys still selling spoiled lunch boxes?" A passenger asked him curiously.
"Stop talking. It's so unlucky. We ran into a psychopath again." The passenger curled his lips. "Those two conductors are fake. I don't know where they got a batch of low-quality boxed lunches from and sold them at high prices. They have been caught by the genuine conductors."
He raised the three steaming lunch boxes in his hand, somewhat proudly: "As compensation, the conductor gave me three lunch boxes. I just opened them and saw that they were very fresh and full of good stuff!"
Soon, the smell of salty and fragrant stir-fried meat spread throughout the entire carriage.
Li Mufeng was eating a somewhat spoiled lunch box and couldn't swallow it. He sincerely felt in his heart that there was really no hope for resurrection.
Zhang Chunliang gently kneaded the tentacles of the little octopus and thought quietly. The cold and rotten smell seemed to still linger on his nose.
"I'm going to leave for a while." He suddenly said to the two of them.
