I am a chef in the end times

Chapter 110 The price of growth

Lu Wanzhuo rolled around on the bed and let out a comfortable sigh.

Isn't it just for this moment that she works so hard? !
If Diss hadn't said that she could escape from the cage-like basement by breaking through the fourth floor, she would have waited for Zhou Ze and the others.

At this moment, Xiran stood by the door and knocked.

"Going out for a stroll?"

Lu Wanzhuo sat up, "Go shopping?"

Is there anything else to do in this place?

No, no, the point is that they can come and go freely? !
In fact, after breaking through the fourth floor, they also have a general understanding of the situation here, and the quality of life has also risen sharply, so there is no need to close it.

Even if you want to run, you can't get out.

"This place is the same as our last days. Useless things will come out to sell. But they don't have coins, they are all bartered."

"Look at it!"

Lu Wanzhuo followed Xi Ran out.

The busiest place here is near Tongtian Tower.

The overall layout of the building here is centered on the Tongtian Tower and outward in a circle.

And the various squares, the places where things are exchanged, are also the places closest to Tongtian Tower.

Lu Wanzhuo just walked around with Xiran for a while and then felt that it was boring.

After all, there's really nothing good about it.

There are still many people who want to exchange some worthless things for good things.

At this moment, Lu Wanzhuo suddenly heard a scream, followed by crying.

Not far away, a woman was pulling a girl hard, and the girl was crying and resisting.

Beside the woman stood a man with eyes full of impatience.

"Is it okay, my time is very precious!"

"Yes, yes!" the woman turned her head while tugging, "Wait, wait!"

The people around seemed to be familiar with this scene, and no one went up to help.

"What are you doing?" Xi Ran whispered.

"Sell the child." Lu Wanzhuo remained expressionless.

"what?!"

Xi Ran was stunned.

Before the end of the world, in the world she lived in, it was illegal to buy and sell human beings!
Not to mention selling children.

Even after the end of the world, many people sell themselves to survive.

Selling children on the street like this...

Xi Ran felt like her faith had collapsed.

Especially the child's miserable cry shocked her even more.

Lu Wanzhuo was too familiar with the scene in front of her.

In her original world, there were too many such situations.

Those who can’t afford to eat have to sell; those who sell their daughters for a son to marry a wife; some people in the family are addicted to gambling and sell their children to pay off their debts; some even sell their children to her to save their lives...

"People in this world don't have supernatural powers. Women's physical strength is inherently weaker than men. It's too normal to sell an underage girl." Lu Wanzhuo said.

"You call this normal?!"

"Is it abnormal?"

Xiran looked at Lu Wanzhuo's calm expression, there was no joke in her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at the two people who were still tugging in front of her...

In this world, maybe it is normal.

"I used to think that our world was cruel enough. Live a good life, but suddenly everything changed when I woke up."

"Maybe their world is truly cruel. It's just this big, like a prison, with no grass growing. Although no one is watching, it can't go anywhere. The only survival material depends on a tower, and this A tower, if it fails, it will kill them!"

"What a gift from God is simply a temptation from the devil!"

Xi Ran turned her head and left here.

Lu Wanzhuo looked at the pull in front of her and continued to walk forward.

He walked past them as if he hadn't seen them.

She walked forward until a transparent but shimmering cover appeared in front of her eyes.

She stretched out her hand and put it on lightly, a tingling pain swept across her whole body instantly along the palm of her hand.

Even though she had prepared herself before, her hand was still unable to move because of this energy.

"It's scary." It was the old man at the registration office.

"My home is there."

Lu Wanzhuo followed the old man's eyes and saw a dilapidated house not far away.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the old man again.

Being able to become a registrar proves that he was a very powerful tower breaker when he was young. How could he live in such a place.

"I chose it myself. Only here can I always remember the truth of this world."

"When I was young, I always thought that living at the top of the world would be enough as long as I was strong enough to break through more towers and get more resources. However, when I was really at the top, I found out that this place is really cruel. "

As the old man spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the transparent barrier.

Seeing the concentration of spiritual power, Lu Wanzhuo jumped towards the old man's hand, but he still didn't take back his hand.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had discovered many wounds on the old man's hands before.

At that time, I always thought it was left over from my youth.

"It's such a big place, I tried my best to make myself stronger, I tried my best to let myself break into the tower, but it's still such a big place. Even the higher I go, the more I hate why I live in such a place!"

"Everyone has said that as long as you break through the top floor of the Tongtian Tower, you can leave here, but you can't leave here at all. This is just a dream for future generations to live on." The old man looked at Lu Wanzhuo, with eyes full of love. A kind of madness, "You are the same, come in and don't even think about leaving!"

Lu Wanzhuo looked at the old man, turned around and left.

Perhaps, we have to speed up to get out of here.

On the second day, under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, the group of them came to the registration office again with a pile of food.

The old man registered with a smile, as if nothing happened last night.

But that crazy smile was remembered in Lu Wanzhuo's mind, and it sounded a wake-up call for her!
The people here look normal, but they are all illusions!

"Why do you want to break into the tower? Isn't it good now?" Bald Wu smiled and looked at Lu Wanzhuo.

"Look at where we live now, what we eat every day, and the respect of those people outside. Which one is not better than our original world? Why risk your life to break into the tower?"

"You can see the end of this world at a glance, why is it better than the original world?" Lu Wanzhuo asked.

Bald-headed Wu was silent for a while, and immediately smiled again, "You young people are like this. You always like to run out, but you don't want to come back in the end. Besides, what's the use of the world being so big, isn't the place where you live is just that one acre Three points."

"There is no big enough world, how do you know that the place where I live is that one-acre three-point land?"

Bald Wu wanted to say something, but Xi Ran came over to stop him.

She looked at Lu Wanzhuo, "If you want to break into the tower, it's up to you."

Meaning, don't pull us on.

"Are you going to live in this abnormal world for the rest of your life, and then slowly become the abnormal person you said yesterday?"

Xiran understood what she was talking about last night.

"Isn't this the price of growing up? Who doesn't grow up and become what they hate the most."

Xiran turned around and left with his teammates.

Lu Wanzhuo stared at their backs for some reason, then turned around and left.

In the place where I just came last night, Lu Wanzhuo stood in front of a dilapidated house, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
