Fear of food

Chapter 39 Swill as a High-Class Food

Coffee laughed and said, "Actually, if we look at it from another angle, doesn't Cookie's ability mean that he is the nemesis of terror?"

Zhui Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Wild food can create terror, and biscuits can eat wild food... That makes sense!"

Gan Shuidao said, "Could the terrible food in Jinghai City be caused by these wild foods?"

Big Pancake's eyes lit up as he said, "Then let Biscuits eat all the wild food, and the fear of food will disappear, right?"

Chen Qi said with a wry smile, "First of all, there's so much wild food. Even if you let me eat until I'm stuffed, I still couldn't finish it all. And the wild food keeps respawning. I probably can't eat as much as it keeps respawning."

"Secondly, I feel that the cause of food phobia in Jinghai City cannot be so simple, because food phobia came first, and then wild food came into existence."

Chen Qi still remembers that at the beginning of the food phobia outbreak, there was no wild food to be found outside. Later, he went to many hospitals for treatment and only then did he start to find wild food in the hospital.

As time went on, wild food appeared more and more frequently, and it was no longer limited to hospitals.

Chen Qi concluded: "While wild food is certainly not the source of food terror in Jinghai City, it is undeniable that it is indeed very special and closely related to food terror disasters."

"If wild food has the ability to create terror, then it makes sense that when I eat wild food, people around me will protect my food!"

Coffee and the others suddenly realized, "That's right! Now that I think about it, those people protecting wild food were actually defending terrorism!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Gan Shui's eyes, and he said seriously, "I think that learning more about wild foods might really help to end the food phobia disaster in the future."

Coffee nodded in agreement, saying, "Then let's take this opportunity to observe and see how this miniature food phobia zone created by wild food will develop."

Zhui Feng also said, "That's right. If this food-fearing area continues to expand, you should eat those wild foods as soon as possible, Biscuit."

So the group chatted idly on the sidelines, while observing the development of the miniature food phobia zone.

They chatted while continuing to eat.

Chen Qi tried eating normal food again, but vomited it up once more.

Now he was pretty sure he couldn't eat normal food anymore!
"Wild foods are special, and I have also become special because I have been eating wild foods for a long time."

Chen Qi sighed inwardly, feeling for the first time that he was becoming less and less human.

If one day the fear of food is really eliminated and there is no more wild food in the world, will he starve to death?
"The scope of food phobia is shrinking!"

Before long, Chen Qi and his team discovered that the miniature food phobia area was shrinking.

Chen Qi quickly ran back to his backpack, opened it, and found that the wild food had all shrunk again!
Wild food is getting smaller, and the range of food phobia it causes is also shrinking...

Chen Qi opened his phone's camera and pointed it at the wild food, only to find that the image displayed was just an empty backpack!

The wild food was completely hidden from view.

He was already somewhat used to it.

Chen Qi picked up a bag of wild spicy strips, tore open the packaging, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Because the spicy strips had shrunk, he ate them all in two bites, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face.

Wild food tastes so much better!

As he ate the spicy snack, his food phobia shrank further.

Chen Qi quickly ate the wild foods in his backpack. It was rare that there were no food protection teams to interfere, so he ate to his heart's content.

In the end, only one bucket of wild instant noodles was left as an object of observation.

At this point, the area of ​​food phobia was reduced to a diameter of about 20 meters.

Chen Qi carried the instant noodles back to the parking spot, casually tossed them on the ground, and the group continued to observe the changes in the noodles.

During the waiting period, Chen Qi felt that the time was right and made his request at the opportune moment.

“I talked to Momo when I came here, and we mentioned the rule about high-end food that Dabing mentioned…”

Upon hearing this, Dabing visibly tensed up.

Chen Qi continued, "Momo thinks this guess is very likely true, so I have to find a way to get the cream cake."

Before Chen Qi could continue, Coffee chimed in, "Do you need our help?"

Chen Qi nodded frankly, admitting, "That's right, it would be difficult for me to do it alone." "I remember you said that cream cake was in a closed ward of the hospital, and there was a parasite nearby," Coffee asked the others. "It was quite dangerous and difficult. What do you guys think?"

Zhui Feng took the lead and said, "I'm definitely willing to help. Not to mention that Biscuit saved my life, if it were any of you asking for help, I would give the same answer."

Ganshui curled his lip: "Although I'm just here to make up the numbers, I'm always there when there's something going on in the group. So don't ask me, I'm never absent."

Coffee joked, "That's true. You always step up when something happens, but you're never really of any use."

The swill-washed man said without any pretense, "I may be useless, but I need to show my attitude. Otherwise, if I run into trouble in the future, who among you will be willing to help me?"

"What about you, Big Pancake?" Coffee asked.

Dabing kept secretly observing Chen Qi, feeling that the faint smile on Chen Qi's face was mocking him.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say to Biscuit."

Dabing pulled Chen Qi aside and whispered, "You won't tell anyone, will you?"

Chen Qi looked puzzled: "I'm usually very tight-lipped, but what are you referring to?"

Big Pancake: "Didn't Momo say anything to you? About me?"

Chen Qi: "I already said so."

Big Pancake: "What is it?"

Chen Qi: "I told you I'm a tight-lipped person, I can't tell you."

Big Pancake nodded vigorously: "Good brother, I believe you."

Then he turned around and shouted to the coffee shop, "My brother's business is my business, count me in!"

"What are those two whispering about so mysteriously?" Zhui Feng asked, his face full of curiosity.

Coffee curled her lips into a smile, but said nothing.

When Chen Qi and the other person returned, Coffee said, "It seems that it was unanimously approved, and everyone is willing to help."

Zhui Feng said, "Just being willing to help isn't enough; you need to have fighting ability too!"

Coffee said, "Currently, our combat power can only be obtained through derivative foods. We've used up all the derivative foods from the flatbread and biscuit. To be on the safe side, we should wait until the flatbread finds another high-level food before we take action."

"But there's no certainty about this; we don't know when we'll be able to find it."

At this moment, Gan Shui suddenly said, "I actually have a high-class food in my hand."

Zhui Feng and the others looked surprised: "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

"I found it about a week ago," the swill said, shaking his head. "I don't dare to eat it."

The group looked at each other, then suddenly fell silent.

Yes, now that we know that eating high-end food may bring misfortune to our families, they might not have been so determined to eat it if they had known this before.

“However…” Gan Shui gritted his teeth and slammed his fist hard on the hood of the car next to him, “I’ve decided, I’ll give it a try!”

“My parents and my wife seem normal now, but that’s just an appearance. I know there will be more and more abnormalities in them.”

"If I drag this out, I'll only be letting them die a slow death. I might as well take a gamble!"

"It's good that you've come to your senses," Big Pancake said with a stern face. "But why did you smash my car? Why didn't you smash the coffee shop instead!"

"The coffee truck is expensive; I can't afford to pay for it."

"You... don't come back with me later!"

"Who cares! With your car parked on the side of the road, people will think it's a ride-hailing vehicle!"

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Coffee interrupted their bickering. "Since you've made up your mind, you might as well eat the high-class food. I'm very curious about what your ability is."

"I always carry it with me."

As he spoke, Gan Shui took a lunchbox out of his backpack. As soon as he opened the lid, a strong smell of sewage hit him.
