Infinite escape, starting with a garbage bag

Chapter 3 Escape from Longevity Island (3)

The clerk jumped three feet high and screamed louder than Xu Zhao. The clerk and two or three other customers panicked when they heard the scream.

Just wait for this moment!

Xu Zhao quickly took out the garbage bag, put the pile of concealer inside, and also brought in the pile of beauty makeup next to it.

"what are you doing?"

Oops.

Was discovered.

The clerk rushed over to Xu Zhao, and Xu Zhao quickly stuffed the garbage bag into the cabinet next to him.

The clerk pointed at her: "What do you have in your hand?"

Xu Zhao mobilized his consciousness and made the garbage bag containing a bunch of cosmetics disappear. Then he showed his hand covered with white paint to her, "I just helped to pick it up."

The clerk's attention was attracted by her white hands, "Your hands..."

Xu Zhao stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and said angrily: "My brother's prank."

As she walked out, the clerk called out to her again, "Madam, your twenty bottles..."

Xu Zhao had already walked to the door, "I forgot to bring the money. I'll go back and get it now."

As soon as he was out of sight of the clerk, he ran away.

Vaguely hearing the clerk behind him shouting to catch the thief, Xu Zhao ran faster.

The night is getting darker and residents are returning home to rest, but the restaurants on the street are still busy.

Xu Zhao dragged his legs, which were weak from hunger, to a restaurant called longevity restaurant.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the word longevity.

The longevity restaurant and longevity island should be related, right?

She might be able to find some clues.

The longevity restaurant was very lively, with all the seats occupied, and the tables were placed at the door. The owner of the restaurant was greeting the guests and urging the employees to move faster.

Xu Zhao watched around for two minutes. After observing who was the boss, he pinched his thigh suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes, and ran straight over.

"Boss, can I help you here for two hours and then eat a bowl of noodles? I was kicked out by my stepmother and I have been hungry all day..."

As he spoke, Xu Zhao's tears fell.

She has a tender face, and it’s easy to say she is a high school student.

The boss looked at her thin arms and legs with disgust, "What do you know? I don't want it to be a waste of help."

Xu Zhao comes from an ordinary family. She used to work during summer vacations when she went to school. She worked as a waitress in restaurants twice, so she has some experience.

She didn't waste any time. When she saw a table of guests next to her finishing their meal, she went over to clean it up, pulled the cart, and in a few moments she put the dishes on the table into the cart and changed the tablecloths.

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, you clear the table and serve the food."

Xu Zhao cleared two tables and returned to the kitchen. He asked the chef for two steamed buns and ate them before he felt alive.

Pretending to organize the tray, she then looked at the prepared dishes, including chicken porridge, steamed fish, fried meat slices, sizzling shrimps, stir-fried noodles, etc. She found that all of these dishes had red vegetables mixed in them.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and take the dishes out." The head chef came over with a glare, "Longevity dishes should be eaten while they are hot for best results."

Xu Zhao hurriedly responded, read the order, and quickly served the dishes.

"Guest, you ordered longevity lobster, longevity seafood porridge, longevity seafood cake..."

There were two men and one woman sitting at this table, dressed strangely. One had cloth strips wrapped around his arms and neck. The man was wearing a women's blouse and floor-length pants, and the woman was wearing a long windbreaker that was naked from head to toe on a hot day. .

Xu Zhao glanced at their hands vaguely. Two of them were wearing gloves, one of them was dyed dark.

"Beauty, can the longevity food here really make people live longer?" The man wrapped in a cloth called to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao didn't know, but she didn't show it. She smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why would so many people come here to eat?"

"This is the longevity vegetable? Where does the longevity vegetable grow?" the man with the cloth asked, pointing to the red vegetables.

Xu Zhao also thought this was a longevity dish, but she couldn't guarantee it. She imitated the little boy who was drawing and looked at the man with the cloth: "Aren't you a local?"

The man dressed in women's clothing glared at the man with the cloth, and hurriedly explained: "We are locals, he just drank too much, and he is talking nonsense. Of course we know where the longevity food is."

You didn’t even get the wine, so you drank too much?

There is no doubt that these three people are outsiders.

Xu Zhao collected the tray and left.

He turned around and returned to the vicinity of these three people. While clearing the table next to him, he raised his ears to listen to their conversation.

"Brother Zhao, I think there must be clues here." The woman lowered her voice and said.

"Keep your voice down. Didn't I tell you that sometimes NPCs kill people? Lin Gang was reckless just now." The man who called Brother Zhao was a man dressed as a woman. He first established his authority, and then said: "Let's pretend we have no money later." Pay the bill, stay and pay off the debt with work, and then look for opportunities to find the purchase order for longevity vegetables."

Lin Gang, the cloth man, whispered: "We have no money to begin with."

Brother Zhao glared at him.

Lin Gang quickly shut up. Brother Zhao had already entered the dungeon twice, so he was right.

"Who is that? There are not enough people in the kitchen. You go in and help wash the vegetables." The boss came over and said to Xu Zhao.

Xu Zhao could only give up eavesdropping and returned to the kitchen.

She could only vaguely hear a few words in the chat between the three people. After piecing it together, she found that the three of them were also gamers.

Logically speaking, she was a newbie who didn't know anything except the theme of the dungeon, so she should sign up for a group with other players.

However, her rationality told her that it was best not to do so. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention this kind of life and death game. At critical moments, it is not impossible to be pushed out to ward off disasters.

Xu Zhao, who has been working for two years, already knows that the world is dangerous.

The dishes the boss ordered to be washed were mainly longevity dishes, and Xu Zhao finally saw the prototype of this dish.

This vegetable is as long as a finger, and is bright red from the rhizome to the leaves. There is a lot of sand in the roots and vegetables. It is difficult to rinse them cleanly, so you have to manually clean them one by one.

From this we can see that this longevity vegetable grows in the sand.

There were two eldest sisters washing the longevity vegetables with Xu Zhao.

He first talked about his tragic life experience with the elder sisters for a while, and then got to the point.

"...I still want to continue going to school, but my family doesn't give me living expenses. It would be great if I could go pick longevity vegetables..."

She just looked at the menu. This restaurant has dishes with or without macrobiotics. The price with macrobiotics is ten times higher than the price without macrobiotics.

The buns Xu Zhao ate just now did not contain longevity vegetables, and they tasted pretty good.

The boss is reluctant to give the dishes with macrobiotics to his employees.

Xu Zhao thought that he was penniless and could not even afford food.

I also secretly hid some steamed buns, beef jerky, etc., and put them in the garbage bag in my mind.

Far away.

"How can longevity vegetables be picked manually? You are not afraid of being bitten. Nowadays, machines are used. If you dare to win, you might as well catch longevity fish." A long-faced elder sister said.

What? Another longevity fish?

And this longevity fish sounds dangerous.

Xu Zhao looked hesitant and confused.

Another round-faced elder sister said: "Don't encourage Xiao Xu, or you may end up risking your life."

"It's high risk and high reward. The young man next door to me bought a longevity fish not long ago and immediately booked a house in Sunshine Community." said the long-faced lady.

Xu Zhao was excited when he heard this, "I, I want to try it too. Is there anyone willing to take me? If he can successfully catch the longevity fish, I will give him 20% of the reward."

The round-faced elder sister advised: "Xiao Xu, don't think about the profits. How many people die at Changshou Beach every year? It's not like you don't know. The sand there is all red, and it is said that it is dyed red with human blood."

The long-faced elder sister's eyes flashed slightly, "That's what people do if they don't have any methods. The young man next door to me has a method."

Xu Zhao, like a young man who was obsessed with money, quickly asked this long-faced lady for her contact information.

As soon as she took down her phone number, there was noise outside, and someone shouted "Hit me".

Xu Zhao immediately thought of the three players, and they made a living.
