Chapter 8 Sand and Sea
After eating and drinking, endless fatigue invaded Li Teng again.
As soon as he collapsed, he fell into a deep sleep.
Even if the helicopter sent him to a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, no one could stop him from having a good sleep at this moment.
At least, it's warm here.
And I am neither thirsty nor hungry anymore.
…
Li Teng didn't know how long he slept.
How many hours maybe?
Maybe even longer.
When I woke up again, the helicopter door was open.
Outside...it's flat ground.
After eating bread, biscuits and drinking drinks, his body also gained strength.
Li Teng climbed out of the helicopter's cabin and stood on the flat ground below.
Concrete floor.
After the helicopter put down Li Teng, it flew straight up to high altitude and left.
After walking a few steps on the flat ground, Li Teng wondered if he was dreaming.
My feet felt light and fluttery, as if I was walking in a fantasy world.
Finally back on the ground?
The question is, where is this place?
There is no snow or rain here, and the temperature is moderate, about 20 degrees Celsius, and it feels very comfortable.
After looking around, Li Teng quickly became convinced.
This is either by the sea or on an island.
The place where he stood was the landing pad of the helicopter, with the beach and seawater behind him, and a building in front of him.
There is no doubt that he must first enter that building to figure out where he has been sent.
Although Li Teng only had a set of smelly pajamas and hadn't brushed his teeth or washed his face for several days, now was not the time to worry about his image.
Come and have a look.
If we can find someone, everything should be clear.
…
"Is anyone there?"
Li Teng came to the street and shouted several times into the empty street.
No one responded.
Next to the street entrance is a restaurant.
The signboard just says "restaurant".
Although there was no money in his pajamas pocket, Li Teng still walked in when he saw the restaurant.
The bread and biscuits he had eaten on the helicopter had long been completely digested by his hungry stomach.
He is still very hungry now.
There is a clock hanging on the wall of the restaurant, which shows the time is 10:03 am.
If the time is accurate, Li Teng estimated that the helicopter may have been flying in the air for three or four hours.
It might also be shorter.
There is an LCD screen next to the clock.
The LCD screen showed a countdown, which looked like one hour and fifty-seven minutes.
It looks like the countdown ends at 12:00 noon.
"What's going on with the countdown? Is the restaurant open?"
"Isn't it too late to open at 12 noon?"
"It's even more unlikely to be when the restaurant is closed, right?"
The whole restaurant was empty.
At least Li Teng didn't see anyone after looking around for a long time.
"Is anyone there?"
"Can I order food?"
Although Li Teng only wore a set of pajamas and had no money, he was forced by hunger and had to shamelessly ask for a meal on credit.
No one responded.
Li Teng looked around the restaurant carefully.
There is a sales outlet in the restaurant, and there is a machine next to the sales outlet.
Isn't it a buffet?
Li Teng walked over.
Sure enough, it was a vending machine.
What is shown on the display is the menu.
There are quite a lot of varieties of food on the menu.
There are steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, rice, various types of noodles, fried cakes, braised eggs and other home-cooked breakfasts.
You can also order rice dishes, including home-style stir-fry, roast chicken, roast duck, pig's trotters, braised pork, lobster, hairy crabs, and even various delicacies from the mountains and sea.
Li Teng's mouth watered when he saw it, and his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
These foods were not purchased with money.
Instead, a membership card is required and the points in the membership card can be redeemed.
The machine in front of you can apply for membership cards.
After facial recognition, the machine automatically filled in Li Teng's name.
But this is not a very unusual thing. WeChat and Alipay have already had this function. Maybe the restaurant and those systems are connected to the Internet.
Now is not the time to think about such things.
The membership card is a white card with no words on it.
After getting the membership card, Li Teng can use the points in the membership card account to redeem food.
It's a pity that there are no points in Li Teng's membership card account.
I don’t know where these points came from.
Was it exchanged for cash?
After researching for a while, Li Teng discovered that his membership card account had functions similar to Huabei.
You can advance 100 points into your account.
Although he was very hungry and wanted to eat a big meal of roast chicken and duck, Li Teng resisted in the end.
The more tempting the food, the more points it costs.
Moreover, his stomach has been hungry for several days, so it is not appropriate to eat foods that are too greasy at this time.
In the end, Li Teng only advanced five points.
Five points were exchanged for a bowl of hot dry noodles, a steamed bun, a bowl of porridge, three steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.
After confirming the exchange, the food was delivered on the conveyor belt at the food outlet.
Li Teng looked through the food outlet to see what was going on inside, but found that it was dark inside and he couldn't see anything.
Although I couldn't tell where the food came from, the food was indeed hot and didn't smell anything strange.
Even these hot dry noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns and the like are all delicacies to Li Teng now.
Eating steamed buns with pickles is an ultimate enjoyment.
Eat all food.
Very full.
Li Teng still wanted to eat, but held back.
Overeating at this time will destroy his severely damaged and fragile stomach and destroy his weak body.
It's better to take it easy.
"Thank you for the food. I will definitely find a way to pay the bill later." Li Teng shouted several times into the restaurant.
Although no one may hear it, your promise-keeping attitude must be expressed clearly.
After eating and drinking, Li Teng returned to the street.
There is a clothing store next to the restaurant.
Next to the clothing store is a bath center.
Looking at his smelly and dirty pajamas that he hadn't changed into for several days, Li Teng quickly got into the clothing store.
Just like in restaurants, there are no clerks in clothing stores, only vending machines.
Just like in the restaurant, the clothing store also has wall clocks and LCD screen countdowns on the wall.
It looks like something big will happen here at twelve o'clock noon?
What could it be?
Let’s buy clothes first.
The most important thing is to buy a pair of socks and a pair of shoes.
During these days on top of the stone pillar, he was always barefoot.
There are cheap clothes and expensive clothes in clothing stores.
Li Teng didn't have many points in his account. He chose the cheapest clothes, a promotional suit, clothes, pants and shoes and socks, which only consumed a total of twelve points.
Counting the points from the meal just now, Li Teng now has a total of seventeen points on credit.
