MTL - Rules Strange Story: My Family is Not Normal-Chapter 465 Assignments

  Chapter 465 Assignment of Work

   “Snack less, we don’t know how long we’ll be in this city yet.

   Do you want to eat the thighs just now? "

   Fatty Peng shook his head when he heard this, "No, no, no, I won't eat."

  He retracted his hand, not daring to think about those snacks anymore.

   Zhou Bai took out a bag of bread from his luggage bag, took out two slices, and distributed the remaining bread to the other two.

  From two o'clock until now, they haven't had dinner yet.

  Fatty Peng ate a whole load of snacks, but he wasn't hungry yet, even if Qi Fa didn't eat a single bite, he couldn't take it anymore.

  He didn't bring anything in his backpack, and he obviously didn't bring any food.

  He saw Zhou Bai handing the bread in front of him, with an awkward expression on his face, but he still stretched out his hand to take it.

  The three of them gathered in a small hotel room in a crisis-ridden city, gnawed on the unpretentious bread in their hands, and continued to discuss the next issue of survival.

   “We must have a place to live every night.

  Although this hotel does not look normal, but at present, we have no other options.

   So, until we find a second place to live, we'll have to live here. "

   Neither Qi Fa nor Fatty Peng raised objections.

   So Zhou Bai continued to lower his voice.

   "As you have just seen, these snacks are things that can be traded for the people here, and they are of high value."

   Fatty Peng straightened his back proudly when he heard this.

  But Zhou Bai's next sentence instantly made him fall to the ground in frustration.

   "So these snacks of yours must be managed together.

   There is also a limit to how many snacks you eat in a day, we have to make sure we can live enough to complete the task. "

   Fatty Peng fell to the ground after hearing this, and sadly touched the flesh on his belly with his hands, feeling as if he was about to say goodbye to them.

   Zhou Bai patted him with his hands: "Do you know how many snacks you brought in total?"

  Fatty Peng sat up and shook his head blankly.

   "Then go and count it, and make a list for me later."

  After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he got up and drew the curtains again.

  Fatty Peng took the pen and paper handed over by Zhou Bai, pulled his suitcase, squatted in a corner, and silently counted the things he brought.

   Zhou Bai glanced at Fatty Peng's round back squatting in the corner, turned his head, and continued talking to Qi Fa.

   “It would be cumbersome and unsafe for us to go out and do tasks with these things.

  But we put these things in the hotel, and there is no way to rest assured.

  I think, you should know what I mean. "

  Qi Fa nodded silently.

   "So, I hope you stay here tomorrow, while Peng Kuan and I go out to explore the way first.

  This hotel is not simple, only if you stay, I can rest assured. "

  When Zhou Bai finished speaking these words, there seemed to be some fluctuations in Qi Fa's bottomless black eyes.

  He turned his head awkwardly, scratched his head without knowing where to put his hand, and scratched his arm again.

   Finally heard that Fatty Peng was counting the amount of beef jerky in the corner, and finally found a reason to escape from here.

   "418, 419, 430, 431...

Eh? No, where did I just count? "

  Qi Fa walked over, insisting on squeezing into a small corner with him, and then began to dislike him again.

   "Sit over a little bit, you squeeze me.

  Can you count?

  Fuck off, let me count..."

  Qi Fa didn't agree to Zhou Bai's request just now, but judging by his reaction, Zhou Bai should assume that he agreed for the time being.

   Zhou Bai took out the pocket watch hanging on his chest, and seeing the time displayed on it, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.

  So he walked to the window, propped up a small slit with his hands, and leaned over to see the situation outside the street at this time.

   I was able to see some pedestrian streets just now, which will almost become a "ghost street".

   Even some small animals were not seen, only one or two corpses with bones left, lying alone on the street.

  Zhou Bai looked at the desolate scene on the street with a frown, and when he was about to close the curtains again, he suddenly noticed that the thin child holding the steel bar just now seemed to be still lying on the ground.

  There are no people around him who are staring at him.

   And he also lost his strength, he could no longer hold the steel bar in his hand, and under the red moonlight, he closed his eyes weakly.

  It seems that he has to spend the night outdoors tonight...

   Zhou Bai sighed inwardly, put down the curtains, glanced at his teammates who were still counting supplies in the corner, opened his suitcase, and took out his change of clothes.

   "I'm going to take a shower first.

   Remember to leave a bag of potato chips outside after counting, I have to go to the room tomorrow. "

  Fatty Peng not only miscounted the number of biscuits just now, but also disrupted Qi Fa's counting progress.

   This will be being beaten by him on the floor.

  Hearing Zhou Bai talking to himself, he quickly stretched out his hand to ask for help.

   But Zhou Bai gestured to Qi Fabi to make him hit softly, then turned around and walked into the toilet.

  Fatty Peng could only cry and beg for mercy, and promised that Qi Fa would not talk to him when he was counting in the future, thus avoiding a beating.

  When Zhou Bai came out of the shower, Fatty Peng had already sat back on the bed and was eating candy.

   Qi Fa, who thought he was too in the way, squatted in a corner and worked.

   Fatty Peng saw Zhou Bai coming out of the shower, and happily handed him a candy.

   Zhou Bai reluctantly rejected him.

   "It's late, go take a shower."

   Fatty Peng responded, and walked into the toilet with his clothes.

   Zhou Bai slept in the position closest to the toilet.

  He lay on the bed, listened to the sound of water coming from the toilet, saw the thin figure crouching in the corner, and then closed his eyes in a daze.

  However, before he really fell asleep, he suddenly heard Fatty Peng cursing from the toilet.

   "What's going on? Why is there no water suddenly?"

   Zhou Bai vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes suddenly.

   "What kind of broken hotel is this? How can there be no water after taking a shower halfway?"

   Fatty Peng's complaints continued to come from the toilet.

  Then, Zhou Bai heard the sound of the door opening in the room directly opposite.

  He got up from the bed and walked to the door.

  Looking closer to the cat's eye, he saw a middle-aged man with a pair of pig ears coming out of the opposite door.

   "Since the faucet in the toilet is broken, it shouldn't be too much for me to go to the little beauty at the front desk now, right?"

   Zhou Bai heard the words and picked up the pocket watch hanging on his chest.

   I saw the time displayed above, it was almost twelve midnight.
