Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 194 The Bizarre Post-Apocalyptic World 11

Lin Xiaoqian hovered the flying car directly above the forbidden area.

Liao Zhuang couldn't help but say, "Hiss~ Why does that place look so familiar?"

"How can this place not look familiar? Isn't this the place where we encountered those monsters last night?"

Liao Zhuang looked puzzled: "Huh? Isn't that outside of town?"

Mo Ying frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems that's not the case now. We must have completely misunderstood. It seems that we didn't leave the town last night, but instead went to the very inner part of the town."

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, saying, "I was wondering what was wrong. Now that I think about it, we must have been deliberately lured here last night."

"What do you mean?"

Mo Ying said uncertainly, "I'm just guessing. For example, the sudden sound last night and the sudden thinning of the fog seem to be guiding us here."

Liao Zhuang suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted, "Look, there seems to be a house behind that boulder!"

Following the direction Liao Zhuang pointed, the group saw a very simple wooden house hidden among the boulders and weeds.

The house was less than 20 meters from where they were standing last night, but it was not easy to be spotted.

Behind the house, the ground was littered with the monsters they had encountered the night before, and they all seemed to be sleeping.

"Could this be the home of that girl named Xiao Li?" Lin Xiaoqian wondered, frowning.

Mo Ying nodded slightly, her eyes showing wariness. "Very likely."

Zhuang Damao rubbed his hands together, "Who cares if it is or not, let's go in and find Jiang Shuang first."

Liao Zhuang nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

Mo Ying took out a stack of concealment talismans from his storage bag, tore one open, activated it, and stuck it on the outside of the spaceship.

In an instant, the spaceship's outline became blurred, as if it had blended into its surroundings, making it almost impossible to detect from the outside.

Mo Ying then distributed the concealment talismans to Lin Xiaoqian and the others, saying, "These talismans can conceal our presence."

Lin Xiaoqian carefully parked the flying car behind a boulder near the cabin, then got out after attaching an invisibility talisman to her body.

Several people crouched down, their eyes fixed on the small wooden house that exuded an eerie aura, one hand holding a talisman and the other tightly gripping an energy gun.

While keeping an eye on the surroundings, Mo Ying whispered, "Everyone be careful. This place is eerie. Although the concealment talisman can hide your whereabouts, it's not foolproof. Try not to make too much noise. If you notice anything, just be prepared and teleport back to the restaurant."

The four of them slowly approached the cabin, taking each step with extreme caution, afraid of disturbing the people inside or the monsters behind it.

When they arrived at the cabin, Mo Ying gently approached the window and peered inside through the mottled window paper.

The room was dimly lit, and some blurry outlines could be vaguely seen.

In the very center was a dilapidated table, and on the table there seemed to be a basket, but it was too dark to see clearly what was in the basket.

In one corner of the room, there was a simple bed, and it seemed that a person was lying on the bed, but the face could not be seen.

Mo Ying turned around and gestured to the others, indicating that there were people inside.

Then, he gently grasped the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open.

The door hinges emitted an extremely faint creaking sound, which seemed unusually loud in the quiet atmosphere.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from inside the house, like someone turning over.

The four men tensed up, immediately stopped what they were doing, and held their breath.

Then, a cool male voice came from inside the house: "Come in, I know you're at the door."

Lin Xiaoqian and his group were afraid of being tricked and dared not make a move.

"Creak—" The door suddenly opened, and a pale-faced young man stood in the doorway, only a fist's distance from Mo Ying, who was walking ahead.

The young man was thin with sunken eyes, but his gaze was unusually bright. However, he did not seem to see Lin Xiaoqian and the others. He took a step forward, his brows furrowed, and he looked around the doorway suspiciously.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xiaoqian bent down and carefully walked past the young man into the room.

Her footsteps were extremely light, almost making no sound, her eyes fixed on the young man's every move, her energy gun ready to fire at any moment.

After entering the room, Lin Xiaoqian quickly scanned the entire room, not missing any corner. However, apart from the old table and the simple bed, the room was clear at a glance. There was still no trace of Jiang Shuang, nor any obvious place where someone could hide.

Strange, where did he hide Sister Shuang?

Lin Xiaoqian was filled with doubts and was pondering when Mo Ying, Zhuang Damao, and Liao Zhuang also cautiously entered the house, one after another, close to the wall.

At this moment, the young man saw that there was no one outside the door, so he turned around and went back into the house. He walked to the table, took out a bun from the basket, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Only then did everyone realize that the basket contained steamed buns, and they could tell from the smell that they were Lin Xiaoqian's braised pork buns.

Not only that, even the basket on the table was from the restaurant.

Lin Xiaoqian stared fiercely at the man. It really was him, the little boy in the yellow shirt. He had been playing tricks on her last night, and now he had hidden Sister Shuang somewhere again. He was utterly despicable.

The man seemed to sense that something was wrong, frowned, and scanned the room with his eyes.

Lin Xiaoqian gripped the energy gun tightly, her finger on the trigger, ready to fire at the slightest movement from the man.

Mo Ying quickly stuck a talisman on the man and then shouted, "Back to the restaurant!"

Then the man's figure disappeared before their eyes.

Lin Xiaoqian and the others didn't dare to delay and quickly teleported back as well.

They returned to the anchor point on the fourth floor, but did not see Mo Ying or the man.

Liao Zhuang tore off the concealment talisman from his body and asked in confusion, "What happened? Didn't Mo Ying say he was going back to the restaurant? Where is he?"

Lin Xiaoqian had a sudden inspiration and thought of a possibility, so she quickly said, "Let's go to the first floor!"

Upon reaching the first floor, they witnessed Mo Ying using the magical artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope, to bind someone up like a rice dumpling.

"Hey! Mo Ying, you really brought this guy back!" Liao Zhuang exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Ying plopped down in a chair and read: "Luckily, I got back to the restaurant in time, otherwise he would have almost gotten away."

After saying that, he explained, "I put up a replica anchor point talisman on the first floor before, and because I had this guy with me, I didn't go up to the fourth floor."

In Mo Ying's mind, the fourth floor was their private space, and he was reluctant to let any unknown dangerous creatures go in.

Lin Xiaoqian looked at the man who was tied up like a dumpling, stepped forward, and glared at him fiercely. "You bastard, let's see how you play tricks now! Tell me, where are our companions?"
