I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 39

Late at night, early summer town.

After returning home with a full load, Lin finally drove through the town's avenue. Fran, who had been napping in the passenger seat, suddenly raised his face.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Zhong finally became alert because of her actions.

"There is a very nice fragrance." Fran lowered the car window that was open a crack.

"Don't extend your tentacles."

Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and reminded at the same time that Fran had a habit of using her tentacles to explore the surroundings. Sometimes if she wasn't paying attention, she would forget the commandment not to reveal her tentacles casually.

Soon he also smelled it with his nose, it was a scent of spices that made his index finger move.

"There." Passing an intersection, Fran raised her finger to a light not far to the right, which was the square of the town government.

Lin Zhong stopped the car at the intersection, turned his head to look over there carefully, and laughed: "It's incredible, there are actually stalls for supper in this town."

Most areas of Chuxia Town are without electricity. Only Axia's hunter base and some public facilities are licensed to connect power lines from the sanctuary area.

At night, the town becomes dark, but the town hall and hunter base are brightly lit.

The small square in front of the town government is also illuminated by street lights, and the town government's radio is still playing music. The nightlife in this town is basically concentrated here. Some people are walking, some are dancing, and some are just sitting quietly.

There were late-night snack stalls in the corner of the square, and the aroma they smelled came from one of the stalls. There were three pots filled with braised food. There were several folding tables and chairs around, and many customers were already gathered there.

There are large fields, farmhouses, and a breeding farm on the outskirts of Chuxia Town. In terms of food, they are basically self-sufficient.

Lin Zhong heard Sister Zhou mention before that A-Xia was adopted and cared for by some wandering infected people when she was a child, so after she became a Dawn Hunter, she established such a containment area for the infected.

The government of No. 18 Shelter Area is also happy that someone is willing to take care of such a place where infected people are concentrated. It can also greatly reduce the conflicts between infected people and the asylum area. You must know that there are many expelled infected people near the asylum area. They quietly formed an anti-government terrorist organization.

So No. 18 Sanctuary also provided part of the funding to maintain Chuxia Town, and with Axia's hunter base ensuring safety, the infected here actually lived quite well.

Although it is called a quarantine area, it is basically open, but most ordinary people are not willing to stay with infected people.If there is no taboo about mixing with infected people, this place can actually be regarded as a good settlement for ordinary people, at least much better than the deserted city.

"I said, do you want to eat?" Lin Zhong asked.

"Okay." Fran replied. .

"Then let's not eat for now. We just ate not long ago." Lin Zhong said and prepared to drive forward.

At this time Fran raised her hand and put it on his shoulder.

Lin finally stopped and was about to shift his foot to the accelerator, looked at the hand on his shoulder, and then at Fran.

Fran's face remained expressionless, but her eyes were fixed on the stalls in the square in the distance.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo said again: "Do you really want to eat?"

"I think so." Fran said.

"Then let's go eat." Lin Zhong smiled helplessly, "Be gentle, my shoulders will be crushed if you do this!"

Fran let go of her hand. Lin Zhong saw that her expression didn't change, but her eyes brightened obviously.

He actually still had a cute side, and Lin Zhong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in laughter.

There were basically no other cars in the town. They parked the car casually and went straight to the braised food stall. Lin Zhong asked Fran to take a seat and went to the stall to order something.

Lin Zhi still had some spare money on hand. The group of wilderness hunters they killed left some coalition government contribution coins in the car - because they can be exchanged for supplies near the sanctuary, the contribution coins issued by the coalition government are also popular among wilderness hunters. circulating.After arriving in Chuxia Town, he also sold some unused equipment.

"Want some wine? There is home-brewed rice wine and canned beer from the shelter area."

After Lin Dian finished his things, the stall owner who was obviously suffering from ghoul disease asked casually.

"How much?" Lin Zhong asked.

"A bowl of rice wine is three yuan, and beer is seven yuan." The stall owner replied.

"Two bowls of rice wine." Lin finished the order without questioning the price difference.

A lot of food here is produced locally in Chuxia Town. Agricultural products grown and raised traditionally in the shelter area can be sold at high prices. However, few people are willing to buy food produced by infected people. Agricultural products can only be produced and sold by oneself, so the price is very cheap. In turn, , when the industrial products produced in the refuge area arrive here, the price will increase by about half due to freight and scarcity of goods.

Soon things were placed on the table, a large bowl containing braised meat, offal, chicken feet, eggs and tofu. Lin finally ordered a plate of pickled cucumbers and salt-boiled peanuts.

"Cheers." Lin Duan drank some rice wine.

To be honest, he was actually quite full. After intercepting the body of the original apostle, he tried to eat with Fran's help.

Because he was eager to reach the evolutionary threshold recorded by Li Suling, he ate a lot.

The effect of eating the apostle's meat is indeed extraordinary.Not long after eating, he felt that his abdomen had turned into a furnace, continuously delivering heat flow of energy to all parts of his body.

This feeling was quite comfortable at first, but as time went by, it made him feel a little restless.

Now he just wanted to eat something else, maybe to dilute the feeling in his stomach.

Fran observed the rice wine in the bowl, smelled it, took another sip, and then said: "The liquid in this bowl contains trace amounts of toxicity, which will burden the internal organs and also affect the nerves. Why? Want to drink something like this?"

Lin was stunned for a while before he realized that the poison Fran was referring to was alcohol. It seemed that Fran could easily analyze the effects of ingested substances on living bodies.

"What people pursue when drinking is the feeling that affects the nerves." Lin Zhi smiled, "A little bit won't kill you. What do you think of the taste?"

"Sweet, a little spicy, not bad." Fran commented.

"That's alright, let's eat." Lin Zhong asked Fran to eat the food and wine, and he took a piece of braised tofu first.

Fran quickly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of bone-in meat, stuffed the whole piece into her mouth, and chewed it into pieces.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, and immediately looked left and right to make sure that no one noticed, and reminded Fulan in a low voice: "The teeth of ordinary people can't break that kind of bone, you should be more careful!"

But Fran didn't respond to him. She just squinted her eyes and chewed slowly, seemingly not listening at all.

"Is it so delicious?" Lin Zhong raised his eyebrows.

"It's delicious." Fran's chopsticks suddenly increased in speed.

"An Xin, I won't compete with you, so there's no need to eat in such a hurry." Lin Zhong couldn't help but laugh again.

Fran took a few bites, her appetite seemed to have finally been satisfied, and she let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, she looked at Lin Zhong, who still had a smile on his face, and suddenly said: "Lin Zhong."

"What?" Lin Zhong blinked.

"What are your plans after this incident is over?" Fran asked looking into his eyes.
