Chapter 3 Is this a coincidence?

Chen Yi was born in 2055 in the Wandering Earth Age and is now fifteen years old.

The year he was born, humans had already evacuated to the dungeon and started the Wandering Earth plan. He has lived in the dungeon since he was a child and has never been to the ground. Therefore, he has not witnessed the planetary engine that is one section higher than Mount Everest to push the earth forward.

Although he has never been to the surface, thanks to the current developed technology, he has seen the situation outside from some video materials.

The earth has left its former orbit around the sun, and has wandered for more than 20 years under the propelling of planetary engines, and has accompanied the earth for billions of years. If you observe it on the surface with the naked eye, it will be difficult to distinguish it from other stars.

The sun's light cannot provide warmth to the earth. The surface temperature has dropped to minus 50 or 60 degrees below zero, and it is still declining. Now the entire ground world is covered with thick ice and snow.

In such a harsh surface environment, animals and plants cannot survive. According to the latest survey report, more than 95% of the once vibrant and colorful world have completely extinct and become history. They can only be seen in video materials.

In the harsh environment, animals and plants cannot survive, which leads to an extreme lack of food for humans.

There is not much food available nowadays. Foods such as chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, rice and flour have long been away from people's dining tables. People of Chen Yi and the others can only imagine the taste of those foods from the descriptions of some elderly people.

In today's society, more than 95% of the people on the earth eat mainly three types of food: earthworms, cockroaches and rats!

Once upon a time, these three animals were synonymous with disgust and dirtyness, but now they have become the main food that most humans rely on for survival. On this basis, humans have even developed hundreds of cooking methods...

Earthworms, cockroaches, and rats, these three animals have strong vitality and are able to survive and reproduce in many harsh environments. Each dungeon has places that specialize in cultivating these three creatures. Their importance is strategically attached. After all, it is related to the eating problem of billions of people.

Earthworms can reproduce by eating soil, which is more convenient to cultivate than cockroaches and mice. Therefore, in fact, the food that most humans eat nowadays is earthworms.

Dried earthworms, earthworm noodles, earthworm skewers..., there are a wide variety of flavors and methods.

It’s not that there is nothing else except these three mainstream foods nowadays. For example, those potatoes, sweet potatoes, even rice, wheat, soybeans, etc., there are chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle, and sheep, and even vegetables. However, the quantity is very rare. It is a luxury for ordinary people to take a look at it. They give priority to high-ranking officials, politicians and scientists and workers who have contributed to all mankind. Even if those foods occasionally flow into the people, they are so expensive that they are prohibitive.

For thousands of years of history, class division has never stopped. Even though it is a time when the earth is wandering, there are still a few people who enjoy a high-quality life that ordinary people dare not imagine. This is reality.

Recalling all kinds of food in my mind, especially with the memories of my predecessor, Chen Yi found that the cooking methods of some earthworms, cockroaches and mice actually tasted quite good...

Vomit ~!

Thinking of those things, he subconsciously retching a few times, especially when he looked at a pot of earthworms in his hand, his face turned pale.

My predecessor may have been used to this kind of food, but how could he eat it shortly after he just came to this world? Not to mention eating it, he couldn't stand it after watching it for a long time...

Although he was very hungry at this time and even though humans could not escape the law of true fragrance, Chen Yizhen was not so hungry that he praised the pot of earthworms in his hand for their true fragrance.

"Brother Yi, eat it quickly, why are you standing there? This is a sour and spicy 'earthworm noodles'. You may not be able to eat it in the next meal."

On the public dining table in the cafeteria, Chen Yi's friends each had a bowl of earthworm noodles. They seemed to be hungry and sucked it so much that it smelled so good. One of them couldn't help but speak when he saw Chen Yi.

Seeing their eating behavior and the sounds of "eating noodles" around them reaching their ears, Chen Yi's face turned paler and his stomach was sore and his throat was churning.

God, kill me, how can I eat this?

Seeing that Chen Yi's face was wrong, a friend stopped the chopsticks and sucked a piece of earthworm noodles in his mouth into his mouth and swallowed it with concern: "Brother Yi, are you okay? Is it uncomfortable there? Could it be that those grandchildren broke you in the morning? We will take revenge later, but now Brother Yi, do you want to see a doctor?"

Hearing the words of my friend, Chen Yi smiled unnaturally, and his thoughts flashed and he immediately went downstairs: "I feel a little uncomfortable, but I haven't seen a doctor, and it's not about the morning business. I just don't have any appetite at all..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yi paused for a moment and said carefully: "I have no appetite and can't eat it, and waste food will be severely punished, so why don't you help me share the burden?"

"Hehe, the relationship is good. I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Thank you, Brother Yi, I just happened to be not full..."

One of the friends' eyes lit up after hearing Chen Yi's words. He was sure that Chen Yi was not a joke. He immediately started to pick up the earthworm noodles in his basin without saying a word. The others also moved their chopsticks when they saw this.

After a few strokes, Chen Yi and the earthworm noodles in the front basin were completely divided by them, and then the starving ghosts were reincarnated as if they were swallowing them, as if they were afraid that Chen Yi would regret it.

After a little dumbfounded, Chen Yi suddenly realized that these things that he felt a little disgusting when he looked at were actually the food they depend on for survival, especially when they were in the middle of the old man who was poor, not only would they not dislike them, but also felt that they were not enough.

I am still afraid that they don’t want it. I guess they are having fun secretly now?

Seeing the scene of them eating earthworm noodles voraciously, Chen Yi couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said, "You guys eat, I'll leave first, I'll help me return the bowl to the recycling area later."

Chen Yi ran away after giving up such a sentence. He was out of sight and was afraid that he would not be able to help but vomit it if he stayed there.

Seeing that Chen Yi was leaving, several friends subconsciously looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but wonder: "Did you find out? After the fight today, Brother Yi has been weird all the time, and I can't tell you the details."

"I also found out, forget it, no matter how much he eats, no matter how good Brother Yi is, he will never become another person." Someone shrugged and stopped engaging in this issue.

The others thought for a moment and put it behind their backs and focused on the food in front of them...

Chen Yi, who left the cafeteria, breathed a little relieved, but the horror scene of eating earthworms as noodles still lingered in his mind. He was not a special forces soldier who had received strict outdoor survival training, so how could he eat earthworms without changing his face?

Unless you are about to starve to death, I will not eat it if I beat you to death!

Chen Yi thought to himself by driving the horror scenes of eating earthworms out of his mind.

But now there is an urgent question in front of him, that is, he is so hungry that he is croaking, and the more he thinks about it, the hurried...

"Where are you going to make food? And it's still 'normal' food." Standing on the playground outside the cafeteria, Chen Yi scratched his head in a tangled way.

After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he thought of a place where he could eat normal food, that is, restaurants in commercial areas outside the school. In those places, there would definitely be normal food. Combined with the memories in his mind, especially Chen Yi, who had been in contact with idle people in society, he knew that the so-called cats have cats and rats have rats. Even in the wandering earth period where various supplies are extremely scarce, the owners of those restaurants always have a way to get good things.

But, although Chen Yi thought that he would probably be able to eat normal food in a restaurant, he had to give up this idea before he could take a step.

Because he has no money!

The coalition government will give him a monthly relief of 100 yuan. Not to mention that Chen Yi has spent almost this month, even if he has a complete 100 yuan, it is impossible to afford a normal meal in a restaurant.

Even without asking Chen Yi, he could imagine that in the current situation where various supplies are extremely scarce, how expensive should normal food be? Don’t think about eating a king meal. Often, such food must be paid first...

"Then the question is, I can survive a hunger or two, but it's impossible for me to never eat anything, right? Who can withstand it? Could it be that I have to eat earthworms when I'm about to die of hunger?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yi was in a bad mood. Food, something he once didn't care about at all, has now become an urgent problem that he needs to solve, especially when he wasting food countless times, he wanted to slap himself twice.

Some things are really precious only after they are lost.

Now that he is in the wandering world of the earth, he will not talk about anything else, even if he makes up his mind to grab it, he will have nowhere to snatch it...

"Chen Yi, why are you muttering alone? Are you trying to get some bad things? I can tell you, my eyes are staring at you, if you dare to do bad things, I will tell the teacher!"

Just as Chen Yi was considering whether to take the risk of robbing the restaurant, a nice but slightly threatening voice sounded behind him.

My thoughts were interrupted, and Chen Yi turned around and found that it was Su Xiaoye's girl who was examining herself at this time.

Ignoring her youthful and beautiful face, Chen Yi waved his hand and said, "You are not doing anything, I'm upset, go cool down."

"Hmph, why aren't I doing anything? I'll tell you Chen Yi, uncles and aunts entrusted you to my father to take care of you. My father has no time to care about you, so let me watch you to avoid you going on a wrong path. Who do you think you are willing to care about you?" Su Xiaoye immediately put his hands on his hips and looked at Chen Yi and a little cat with his teeth and claws, and said, "My breasts are so fierce."

Chen Yi, who was desperate to solve the food problem, had no time to pay attention to her. She originally wanted to walk away, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

So he looked at Su Xiaoye up and down.

After being seen by Chen Yi, Su Xiaoye felt uncomfortable all over. For some reason, he immediately glared and said angrily: "Chen Yi, what do you want to do? Tell you, I'm not easy to mess with!"

As she said that, she waved her fist in a demonstration.

He didn't care about her threat, but looked at her, Chen Yi smiled and said, "What, Xiao Yezi, although your behavior of always beating me for reporting is a bit awkward, but we are not a neighbor at all, so let's discuss something with you?"

"You must be making some bad ideas, there is no need to discuss!" Su Xiaoye reacted like this when he heard Chen Yi's words, and then he didn't fool Chen Yi... and turned around and left after the opportunity to discuss.

Chen Yi could not let her go? The hope of whether she could eat normal food was likely to fall on her, so she followed her.

Indeed, it is difficult for Chen Yi to get normal food with his current identity and financial resources on the wandering earth, but there is a door to other worlds deep in his consciousness. Can he get food there?

A voice in the dark told Chen Yi that he could go to an unknown world through the door as long as he wanted, but he did not dare to take the risk of running over.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoye is his neighbor, and Su Xiaoye's father is an officer who often goes to the ground to perform tasks. In this way, can you fool Su Xiaoye and ask her to get a protective suit from her father? It would be even better if you could get a weapon. In this case, there would be certain guarantees to go to the unknown world through the door deep in your consciousness.

Of course, even if you have protective clothing and weapons, going to an unknown world is not necessarily absolutely safe, but it is better than not having any protection. Protective clothing and weapons are just the foundation. Before this, Chen Yi had to test the world over the Shimen to truly pass.

As for whether he can come back after he goes, although this is also very important, Chen Yi was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he couldn't care about so much.

The prerequisite is to get a set of protective clothing from Su Xiaoye!

Of course, it is not that only Su Xiaoye can get protective clothing. It’s just that considering her own situation, the probability here is a little higher. Otherwise, Chen Yi would be too lazy to touch her cold butt.
