The next day, Xigua's store officially opened.

Outside the store, the sun has gradually risen, and the fierce sunlight continues to scorch the earth. Inside, Xie Feng and Eric yawned boredly, while Cecilia kept looking at the store door intently.

"Watermelon, I said..." Xie Feng finally couldn't help but said: "How busy do you think it will be on the first day of opening? You pulled me up before five o'clock... It's half past nine now, and I'm still a customer.

None...there are quite a few flies."

Cecilia was still staring at the door motionless, and said to Xie Feng: "It is precisely because it is the first day of business that I have to open the store early. I want to leave a good impression of 'opening the store early' to the customers."

Xie Feng said with a depressed look: "It's a good impression. Who usually goes to the grocery store at 6 o'clock? No, we have been guarding for three hours, and no one has passed the door."

Just then, a voice sounded from outside the door: "Huh? When did a store open here...a watermelon store? What is it?"

After hearing this, Cecilia immediately ran out happily. Before going out, she turned to Xie Feng and said, "Look, isn't there a guest here?"

Xie Feng's face looked very depressed - someone else just happened to be passing by, right?

As soon as Cecilia went out, she immediately shouted very skillfully: "Hello, welcome to Xigua's shop, how can I help you?" - Cecilia had practiced this all night last night, and at this time

It was said so sweetly and so naturally.

"Ah? Is that you?" Two voices sounded outside the door at the same time.

Xie Feng was confused for a moment, then walked around the sleepy Eric and walked out of the store.

Outside the store, besides Cecilia, there was also a man standing. The man was tall, with strong muscles crisscrossing his naked upper body. He had dark skin and was estimated to be nearly 1.9 meters tall.

The whole person stood there like a black tower. The black tower was also dancing with a pole, and two buckets filled with water were hung on both ends of the pole.

When Xie Feng took a closer look at his appearance, hmm? Isn't this Comstock? So he asked, "Why are you here?"

Comstock scratched his head innocently: "What? Can't I come here?"

Xie Feng said: "That's not what I meant... Why are you carrying water? Is the well near your home broken?"

Comstock laughed and said, "No, I'm picking up the water for making noodles."

Xie Feng said: "Making noodles? Can't we use well water?"

Comstock shook his head and said: "It's not that it can't be used, but the noodles made with ordinary well water are not strong enough, so I have to fetch water from the lake south of Dukuba every day. The water in the lake is better than the water in the well.

The water is much better, and the noodles made are very chewy - When I passed by here a few days ago, I saw that it was still being renovated, and I thought it was an ordinary home decoration. Unexpectedly, it turned into a shop today, and it seemed to be you two.

It's open." As he said that, Comstock looked at Xie Feng and Cecilia ambiguously.

It was not the first time or twice that he was misunderstood like this, so Xie Feng simply ignored it and changed the subject: "I have to pick up water to make noodles every day. It seems that you are also very picky."

Comstock smiled and said: "The noodles are not for me to eat, but for the guests - I opened a noodle shop in the north of the city, and the business is pretty good. If you have time, you should go and visit it."

Xie Feng was slightly surprised and said: "Hey, I didn't expect that such a big guy like you is also a chef and owner of a noodle restaurant - wait, you said Chengbei? Then doesn't it take a lot of time and energy for you to carry water every day?"

Comstock patted his **** and strong chest and said: "What's there? This is just part of my morning exercise, and it's also on the way."

At this time, it was Cecilia's turn to be surprised: "Running from the north of the city to the lake in the southwest of the city to fetch water is just part of your morning exercise? Then what is the entire process of your morning exercise?"

After thinking for a while, Comstock said: "Because it is morning exercise, it should be relatively easy exercise. Get up at five o'clock every day, set off on time at 5:15, run around the city wall first, and then return home.

Do another five hundred push-ups and five hundred squats, then take a pole and a bucket, run half a circle around the city wall and pass through the west gate. Exit Dukuba from the south gate. After fetching water, run half a circle around the city wall and pass through the east gate and return home. Basically.

When I get home, it happens to be the time when the workers get off work, and then I can start making noodles. I happened to be on my way home now when I met you."

Hearing this, Cecilia swallowed first, then pulled Xie Feng's sleeve and whispered: "That...Brother Feng Xie...Comstock does more exercise every morning than I have in my entire life."

Exercise..."

Xie Feng sighed slightly and said, "It's because you don't exercise too much. Basically, you just stay at home and raise bees."

Comstock heard what Cecilia said, and then smiled and said: "Hey, Cecilia, it's not enough if you don't exercise regularly. Let's do this. You can run with me starting tomorrow."

Hearing this, Cecilia quickly smiled awkwardly and said: "Ah? I run very slowly, I definitely can't keep up with you... Ah! Suddenly I remembered that there is something to do in the store. Brother Feng Xie, you guys talk first...

"With that said, he ran back to the store in a hurry.

Comstock looked at Cecilia's disappearing figure and murmured: "Huh? Isn't she running pretty fast?"

Xie Feng smiled, noncommittal, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was almost lunch time, and then said: "If your shop hadn't been far away, I would have really wanted to try the noodles you made today. How would it taste?"

."

Comstock smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. My first exercise in the afternoon is to squat and jump around the city wall. I can bring it to you on the way."

Xie Feng: "..."

Comstock said: "Why this expression? My signature noodles - braised beef noodles are very popular. If you are interested, I can send it to you to try today."

Xie Feng: "...Master Kong's braised beef noodles?"

Comstock said with great interest: "'Master Kong'? Haha, this name is quite interesting, and it is quite similar to my name. Anyway, my noodle shop doesn't have an official name yet, so I might as well use the name 'Master Kong'"

, thank you very much."

Xie Feng: "..."

Comstock seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "By the way, Feng Xie, have you heard about today's news?"

Xie Feng was stunned and asked: "What news?"

Comstock said: "It's about Shiba Zumo's 'living dead'!"

Xie Feng was stunned again: "Living dead?"

Comstock was slightly surprised and said: "You don't know? This is big news. The whole Dukuba has been talking about it in a lively manner - most of the people in Shiba Zumo's village have turned into walking zombies.

Those 'living dead' seem to have lost any judgment and memory. When they see a living person, they are like wild beasts when they see delicious food. They are bitten or scratched by the 'living dead'.

People died suddenly in about an hour, and soon they became a 'living dead' again. Now Chief Mondhari, the lord of Shiba Zumo, has joined forces with Chief Ukesi, the lord of Dukuba, and Terra

Chief Muhai, the lord of Marburg, imposed a military quarantine on Shiba Zumo. The army surrounded the entire Shiba Zumo and did not allow people inside to come out. If anyone insisted on coming out, they would be shot to death by random arrows on the spot.

.It is said that dozens of people have been shot so far, half of them are the 'living dead'."

It’s so similar, it’s so similar, it’s obviously a scene from “Resident Evil”!

Xie Feng said slightly nervously: "So... after the military isolation, no measures will be taken? Let the surviving villagers inside become the living dead?"

Comstock said: "So today, the three major lords jointly issued a reward: whoever can cure Shiba Zumo's 'living dead' can receive a reward of up to 10,000 dinars - see

Everyone still thinks that the 'living dead' are just some weird infectious diseases, and we hope to find a doctor to treat all the 'living dead'."

Xie Feng said: "'It seems that everyone thinks so'? Don't you think so yourself?"

Comstock smiled: "Who knows? Maybe those 'living dead' are demons from hell. Can demons be cured into angels? Haha. In fact, my idea is to simply send an army in."

Kill all the living dead, and that will be all over. If the reward is for adventurers to go in and kill the living dead, maybe I will sign up - I don't believe those living dead can withstand my fist." said

With that, Comstock waved his fist as big as clay very proudly. It seemed that Comstock had great attainments in "empty-handed fighting".

Comstock looked up at the sky and shouted: "Ah! Oh no, it's getting late. I have to go back quickly... Do you still want your face?"

Xie Feng smiled: "Let's talk about it next time. We have already ordered the recipe for today's lunch - it's the leftover wheat bran from last night."

Hearing this, Comstock took steps, trotted back and shouted to Xie Feng: "Then if you have time, come to my shop and try my noodles, I will give you two bowls for free."

Xie Feng also responded: "If you have time, come to our store and patronize it. We will give you a 20% discount."

After Comstock left, Xie Feng stood there, frowning slightly, and said to himself: "'Living Dead'?"

…

In Abdullah's mansion, Xie Feng lay comfortably on his favorite big sofa and said to himself: "This sofa is really comfortable. It would be great if I had one like this at home."

Abdullah on the side smiled slightly and said: "Speaking of Feng Xie, you came to my house this time to try to steal my sofa, right? Let me explain first, I will never let this sofa go. It belongs to me before."

A student gave it to me."

Xie Feng sighed: "Am I just that good in your mind?"

Abdullah said: "Oh... I can't give you the manuscript! I haven't had time to back up the copy I gave you last time. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a trade secret. If any of my manuscripts leak out,

It will cause an uproar. If you hadn't promised me yesterday that there would be no rumors, I wouldn't have told you."

Xie Feng smiled slightly and said: "Don't be a smug person. Although I admit that you were very good at doing business in the past, if those so-called manuscripts of yours are not needed by Xigua, I really am not interested."

Abdullah took a sip of water and said, "Oh, what do you want? That's wrong! Why did I just acquiesce that you came here to ask for something from me? I won't give you anything!"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't want anything from you. I'm just here to think about something."

Abdullah said with some relief: "Hmm? What do you want to ask?"

Xie Feng got straight to the point: "What do you think of Shiba Zumo's 'Living Dead'?"

Abdullah was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "So you are also coveting the reward of 10,000 dinars? Oh, that's right, Cecilia's medical skills are already good, maybe she can actually find a way."

Xie Feng said: "Stop the ink, do you have any opinions or treatment? I know you have many books here, including many medical books. If those 'living dead' have appeared before, there must be relevant records.

."

Abdullah laughed and said: "You really asked the right person. I just looked through the relevant ancient books today, and there are indeed some." After saying that, Abdullah stood up and walked towards a corridor, and Xie Feng

He quickly stood up and followed.

Library, huge library, huge underground library. Dazzling bookshelves, countless books, displayed under dim oil lamps.

Xie Feng stared blankly at the underground library, which was estimated to contain millions of books, and murmured: "I finally know where you spent all the money you made when you were young."

Abdullah rolled his eyes at Xie Feng and said, "Am I not young now?" After saying that, he ignored Xie Feng's reaction and walked straight to a bookshelf, seemingly casually picked up a book, and then

Seemingly turning to one of the pages at random, he said: "According to paragraph 5 on page 68 of this 'Ghost Stories of Calradia', it seems that a similar 'living dead' incident occurred more than three hundred years ago. Follow

Shiba Zumo's 'The Living Dead' is very similar this time."

Xie Feng couldn't help but ask: "What does the book say? I mean I don't want to know the cause and effect, I just want to know its description of the 'living dead'."

Abdullah, who was about to have a long talk with Xie Feng, rolled his eyes at Xie Feng again, then turned over a few pages of the book and read: "According to a genius doctor at the time, the 'living dead' occurred because of an incident.

Something called a 'virus'."

Virus? Xie Feng couldn't help but be surprised. What surprised him was not that the "living dead" were caused by a "virus", but that Xie Feng knew that the concept of "virus" should not have been proposed until hundreds of years after this year!
