Chapter 606 - 605: How Does Brother Huai Have Boiling Water for Instant Noodles?!

The top-secret skill not taught lightly was forcibly passed on to Guo Yin by Mu Qiu.

"Rebellious kid" Guo Yin outwardly refused, but was actually listening very intently.

Just after the secret was imparted, the familiar alarm sounded over the ruins.

"Beep——"

The long, piercing sound made everyone tense up immediately.

"Third hour has arrived, all guests please return to the starting point!"

"Third hour has arrived, all guests please return to the starting point!"

"Third hour has arrived, all guests please return to the starting point!"

Mu Qiu let out a breath; she thought someone had found a card again.

"Let’s go, let’s go have a look..."

"Beep——"

"Han Xizheng is out!"

"Han Xizheng is out!"

"Han Xizheng is out!"

The four of them stopped in their tracks, exchanged glances, their eyes full of shock.

Mu Qiu: "Who acted so fast, couldn’t let the guy finish his monologue?"

Zhao Yu: "Double kill by one person? Or someone else made a move?"

Guo Yin: "Is it that scary?! By the time we get to the fast food joint, will they have wiped everyone out?"

Chen Yi: "Shu Ran was left alone!!!"

The news came too quickly, Mu Qiu could hardly hold back her smile.

She knew it, the infighting drama is spectacular!

"Let’s go, let’s hurry to the fast food joint, I’m dying to find out who’s so awesome."

...

The rampant summer sun meant everyone was drenched as if they’d been poured on after running around outside all morning, perfectly fitting the post-apocalyptic setting.

Mu Qiu ran into the fast food joint, face full of excitement; six people were already seated inside.

Cheng Zhirang, Shen Zhousong, Li Yang, Shu Ran, and two others in specially arranged spots.

Shi Yuhuai and Han Xizheng sat beside a square table, separated by a couple of meters from the round table where everyone else was seated.

Han Xizheng probably didn’t expect to be eliminated, lying sprawled on his chair like a blob of meat, head against the backrest looking at the ceiling, contemplating life.

While Shi Yuhuai sat upright, leisurely pouring water from a kettle into a stainless steel bowl, the water releasing an intoxicating aroma of instant noodles.

Then he unfolded the remaining noodle package, covered the bowl with it, and placed a book on top.

The entire action was smooth and natural, without any awkwardness.

But the kettle was quite out of place there!

Mu Qiu stood by the round table, bewildered, asking, "Why does Brother Huai have boiling water for instant noodles?"

Li Yang was still exchanging glances with Guo Yin, said, "Because he got eliminated, the crew agreed to satisfy such simple requests."

Elimination perks like that?

She immediately pulled out a packet of dried seaweed, darted forward, and said earnestly, "Can I borrow some water to make seaweed soup?"

Shi Yuhuai looked up at her and said mercilessly, "No, unless... you get eliminated too, then I might consider it."

"So cruel! Am I doing this for myself? I’m thinking of everyone’s benefit!"

Shi Yuhuai: "I’m not keen on benefiting everyone."

"...Pardon the bother, goodbye."

Seeing his sullen face, one could tell he really didn’t want to benefit everyone, especially since the killer who took him out might be among them.

She again tucked the dry seaweed back into her shameful little backpack and discreetly returned to her seat.

Zhao Yu had saved her a seat next to Cheng Zhirang.

Though a few people were missing at the round table, leaving other spots available, every time she arrived late, the only seat left was next to Cheng Zhirang. Wanting to avoid suspicion but not wanting to make a big fuss about changing seats, she resigned to sitting beside him.

Once seated, Cheng Zhirang slightly lifted the Ultraman backpack she carried, lowered his voice and said, "Is it heavy? It’s so hot, put it down for a while."

So she followed his gesture, placed the backpack on her lap, holding it meekly, ignoring the surrounding gossiping gazes.

Everyone was seated before Guan Yu and Chu Qiu arrived, fashionably late.

Also unbearably hot, they sat on the outermost chairs as soon as they came in, gulping noticeably with dry throats.

Chu Qiu: "Sorry for the wait."

"Where did you guys go? Weren’t you with Sister Shu Ran and the others? Shying away in guilt?"

Guan Yu swallowed hard a couple of times, didn’t immediately answer, but looked up, sniffing towards the direction of the aroma.

Then in shock, with indignation, she asked the same question Mu Qiu had just asked.

"Why does Brother Huai have water for instant noodles?!"

Shi Yuhuai shot her a glance, the look akin to viewing a giant roadside ant.

Without much interest, he withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on the nearly complete instant noodles.

Without a response, Guan Yu immediately looked to Mu Qiu without repeating herself, just widening her eyes in an exaggerated expression of shock.

Mu Qiu shrugged: "It’s a special perk given by the show to eliminated participants—a kettle of hot water."

"Then why are you standing there?! Get out your dried seaweed!"

"I begged, but Brother Huai refused. Besides, we don’t have a bowl."

Guan Yu swallowed again, ignoring the first part, waved her hand and said, "No problem! Having a kettle is enough!"

"...Are we just going to gulp seaweed soup from the kettle? What crazy show allows that?"

"The point is, Brother Huai won’t lend out the water," Li Yang lay on the table, turning his head, adding,

"He’s eagerly trying to find the killer who eliminated him, wanting to take them down. Sister Guan Yu, wasn’t it you guys? Feeling guilty, so you came late."

"Definitely, let’s hand them over to Brother Huai, calm his anger, and we’ll get a kettle of water."

Shu Ran, hungry, thirsty, tired, and hot, almost couldn’t maintain her dignified expression, could definitely do such a thing to trade friends for water.

Guan Yu slammed the table.

"Is that what you think of us?! Chu Qiu and I surely aren’t the killers! We were delayed because we encountered that plague doctor monster and had to hide for a while!"

Another person who saw 049, Mu Qiu asked eagerly, "Isn’t 049 adorable? It’s such a kind-hearted being."

"Adorable my foot, have you ever seen such a cute critter with a long pointy nose wearing safety goggles?!"

Its appearance caused them to scatter in terror. Especially Chen Yi, those long legs spinning like a windmill.

Mu Qiu: "But in comparison to other high-risk monsters, 049 is quite good. It only wanted to save Brother Huai and Han Xizheng, just failed due to surgery accidents."

"Your taste is delivered even lower than an eye’s poor judgment."

"..."

Two bickering like school children, while third wheel Shu Ran looked on disdainfully, her face almost saying—

Associating with you drags down my friend-worthiness level; I am above this.
