Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Kiana looked like she had eaten something very spicy, and her face turned red from the spiciness. She only recovered after she took the water handed to her by Jiang Ming and drank it all.

“Is this chili?”

"To be precise, it's Jueyun Pepper."

Jiang Ming explained for Kiana.

"I heard that this pepper is so spicy that it makes people run straight to the top of Jueyun Mountain, making people crave for cool air, so it is called Jueyun Pepper."

"It's so spicy...it must have been you, Jiang Ming!"

"Ahem... yes."

The big monster Jiang Ming admitted it readily.

Because Kiana guessed correctly, she triggered another try.

But when she ate the sea ganoderma that Thomas put in, she was immediately frightened by the smell and insisted that it was Jiang Ming who put it in.

Jiang Ming cried out that he was wronged.

Later, Ying ate the sunset fruit that Paimon put in there.

But as everyone knows, Ying is a mute, so she is not allowed to speak here.

Then it was Jiang Ming's turn. After putting the food into his mouth, Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? Jiang Ming, did you also eat the Jueyun pepper?"

Kiana asked with a happy look on her face.

"What do you mean by looking so happy... But unfortunately, I didn't get to eat the Jueyun pepper. From the taste, it seems like melted cake."

Jiang Ming rested his hand on his chin and thought.

"Because the hot pot soup base melted the cake, but the cake base melted the cream and hot pot base together, the taste was really a bit weird..."

"Is it Miss Linghua who put it there?"

"Huh? Yes...yes."

Linghua looked surprised.

"Then next is my encore."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming closed his eyes again, picked up a piece of food from the pot and put it in his mouth, but he quickly opened his eyes with a distorted face, obviously having eaten some winning ingredient.

"Who released the ice mist flower? Stand out right here!!!"

.................................................. .....

Everyone quickly had an unusual hot pot time...

"Hey, this is definitely the weirdest hot pot I've ever seen, but luckily Thomas ate most of the weird food."

Paimon said with a look of having survived a disaster.

"That's right... I'm the one with the highest score! Wait a minute, my stomach suddenly hurts!"

Thomas immediately showed a painful expression. I really don’t know what he had eaten.

"It's all because Thomas put a lot of weird stuff in it, which made the soup taste weird afterwards."

Linghua scolded softly.

"Even the normal food tasted a little weird, and I didn't guess it right several times."

"But Linghua also put a small cake in the hot pot, and Jiang Ming ate it. And from what he said, cooking cake in a hot pot... well... it feels so weird just thinking about it."

"Sorry, I thought it would be delicious..."

“The taste is indeed unique.”

"No...I can't do that anymore. I need to rest for a while..."

Thomas obviously couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground. It took him a long time to recover.

"Actually, Thomas... you don't have to try so hard. It's okay. Just guess a few wrong and pass the ball to Kiana and Jiang Ming."

"Haha, actually I always feel that my luck has been bad recently, so I need the blessing of the God of Hot Pot to change my luck."

"Your luck is not just bad, it's really good. How did I catch you?"

Jiang Ming looked at him with a strange smile.

"I can feel that after all this trouble, my bad luck has run out! I declare that today's hot pot game is over, and I am the winner!"

"oh----"

Paimon congratulated him weakly.

"Huh... the game is over, and the work is over, so is it time for the long-awaited vacation?"

Thomas looked at Linghua and asked.

"Well, if the Tenryo Bugyo is really busy preparing something as Thomas said, then we have some time to breathe."

Linghua thought seriously.

"Then let's each take a break for a while. We'll gather at Mulou Teahouse in a few days to discuss the next strategy. This is a rare holiday, so we must make good use of it. I also need to pack up and prepare the ingredients for the next hot pot game."

Thomas obviously didn't suffer a loss from the hotpot just now, and he was still talking with great interest.

“Is there a sequel to this game?!”

"Haha, of course. How can once be enough? See you later."

......

"Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming, let's play this game with Mei and the others after we go back!"

Kiana seemed to like this game very much and suggested it to Jiang Ming.

"Well, of course, but we'll be busy once the vacation is over."

..............................................

..............................................

Chapter 80 She looks like Mei!

The next day, Mulou Teahouse.

When Jiang Ming and Kiana returned here, Ying and Paimon also happened to arrive here. After they entered the Mulou Tea House together, the Mulou Tea House was empty. Taroumaru kept barking, and an ominous premonition surged into everyone's heart.

"Strange, why is it so quiet today? It's totally different from usual. Isn't Thomas here?"

Paimon said with some confusion.

"Isn't that guy still preparing ingredients for the next hot pot?"

“Woof woof…Woof!”

Taromaru shouted anxiously while sitting on the counter.

"Hey - stop hiding, Thomas, I've seen you, come out!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof!"

Taromaru was still yelling at Paimon, as if he was trying to convey some message.

"Huh? No one responded. Where did Thomas go? And Taroumaru, who is usually so honest, seems to be very impatient today..."

At this time, Linghua rushed over anxiously and asked immediately when she saw Jiang Ming and others.

"Have you seen Thomas?"

"We thought he was with you. What happened?"

Hearing this, Linghua's body trembled and she said with some uneasiness.

"Oops... I just heard that Thomas was captured by the Tenryo Bugyo on my way here."

"Captured?!"

"Well, I couldn't tell whether the news was true or not, so I ran over to confirm it immediately. If Thomas didn't show up here as agreed, it means that the rumor is most likely true. General Raiden will hold a ceremony to hunt the 100th Eye of God in front of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue. The holder of the 100th Eye of God, who will be hunted publicly, is probably... Thomas..."

"So the ceremony Thomas mentioned before is the Eye Hunting Ceremony prepared for him?"

"Thomas is a foreigner and the holder of the Eye of God. More importantly, he is a member of the Society Bugyo...Tenryo Bugyo really found a good target to kill as a warning to others."

Jiang Ming suddenly spoke up.

"...No, I have to save him!"

"Calm down, Miss Linghua."

Jiang Ming grabbed Linghua who was trying to rescue people.

"The Tenryo Bugyo went to capture Thomas specifically to make the Society Bugyo rush to rescue people, so that they can label you as rebels, which is very disadvantageous to you."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Time is running out and the ceremony is about to begin. I can't just give up on Thomas!"

Linghua said in a firm tone.

"He's my friend, I can't just leave him alone."

"Of course, but Thomas is also our friend. We will rescue him and bring him back safe and sound."

"But if that's the case..."

"Isn't it just being an enemy of God?"

Jiang Ming gave Linghua a reassuring look and said.

"No matter what aspect it is, I don't think I'm inferior to her. You just said that, right? Time is running out."

"..."

"Well, please, I will...wait for you to come back safely."

Linghua said gratefully.

"Just leave it to us, Kiana. Let's go."

"oh oh!"

"Ying, let's go too. One more person means more strength!"

"Ok!"

On the road.

"what?"

Jiang Ming complained in his heart.

"When did this system become so sophisticated?"

.................................................. ...

Under the gaze of the people, the eye hunting ceremony is about to begin. Thomas has his hands tied behind his back on the execution platform, waiting for General Lei Dian to take away his divine eye and embed it on the statue of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed God.

People were talking about this matter and sighing that it was a pity, while Jiang Ming and others stood outside the venue watching it all, waiting for a suitable time to enter.

"Eh? Jiang Ming, is that General Thunder? Why does she even look like... Ugh!!"

Originally, Kiana wanted to say something, but was immediately covered her mouth by Jiang Ming.
