Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

49: Tear the face! Both of them were hit! 3/6”Should we ask other places?”

Zhang Meng thought for a moment and asked Wu Tian.

”If the attitude of other places is the same as this one, then your guess can basically be confirmed.”

”Let’s go!”

Wu Tian nodded, his face grim as he walked towards the next house... ”Bang bang!”

”Hello, I’m a tourist. I want to ask if there’s a place called Peach Blossom Garden here?”

”...”

”No Peach Blossom Garden, I don’t know!”

Bang!

The second place’s attitude was no different from the first!

A few minutes later... ”Bang bang!”

Wu Tian then knocked on the third Villagers’ door.

”Hello, I’m here to visit. I heard there’s a Peach Blossom Garden here. Do you know where it is?”

”I don’t know!”

”Don’t ask anymore!”

Bang!

The door was slammed shut again, and the faces of Wu Tian and the other two standing at the door grew increasingly grim.

”...”

”I’ll try again!”

The Fatty still wasn’t giving up and continued to knock on the third door.

”Bang bang!”

”Uh... Hello!”

The Fatty smiled kindly.

”We are hikers here to climb mountains. Are there large areas of peach blossoms here?”

”We want to go see the peach...”

”No, get lost!”

Bang!

The door was slammed shut again!

... ”This...”

”Why are so many people here so strange? What’s wrong with this village?”

The Fatty started to panic a little.

”Why is everyone pretending to be confused when they clearly know?”

”What kind of place is this, exactly?”

”Why does everyone act like a different person when Peach Blossom Garden is mentioned?”

”I...”

”Should I go ask again?”

The Fatty frantically started to walk towards the next house.

”...”

”No need!”

Wu Tian, with a solemn face, stopped the Fatty.

”It’s already very clear!”

”No matter how many more people you ask, everyone in this village will give you the exact same answer.”

”There’s definitely something fishy about this village!”

”Let’s go!”

Wu Tian walked back the way they came.

”Perhaps we can get some information from the restaurant owner.”

”And, if nothing unexpected happens...”

”Tonight will be a sleepless night!”

... ”No way...”

”I just opened the live stream, and the Host is already giving me such a thrill?”

”It’s probably not just an ordinary thrill. Even a fool can see that there’s definitely something wrong with this village. The questions the Host and his companions asked might have already made the Villagers wary. They might even make a move tonight!”

”Look!”

”The Host wasn’t wrong, tonight is definitely going to be exciting!”

”No way!”

”This is a real village, with real living people. What problems could there be?”

”Upstairs, the village is a proper village, but the people might not be!”

”Holy crap, don’t scare me!”

”Where’s my blanket, where’s my blanket?”

”Phew... Good thing it’s broad daylight right now. I almost peed myself!”

”Upstairs, are you an idiot? If it were dark for the Host, would you still be lit up?”

”...”

Amidst the heated discussions of the Fans in the bullet comments, Wu Tian and his two companions, after observing all afternoon and encountering countless rejections,

returned to the shop at the entrance of the village again at dinner time!

Under the dim afterglow of the setting sun, the shop still hadn’t lit up.

Only a few candles were lit on the counter, flickering like ghost flames in the evening breeze...

”Huh?”

Using the reflection of the setting sun’s afterglow, Wu Tian finally saw the light blue house number at the shop’s entrance.

”...Number 38?”

”Oh?”

”You’re back?”

Just as Wu Tian was lost in thought,

the Shopkeeper walked out of the small shop. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he was still wearing a straw hat, and he instinctively pulled down the brim when facing the direct sunlight.

He looked at the three returning people with a smile.

”Hehe...”

”Dinner is ready.”

”Come in quickly and warm up!”

”...”

”What dishes?”

”Are they as good as at noon?”

”Hehe...”

”I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

Wu Tian smiled faintly, and without a change in expression, he led Zhang Meng and the other person into the dim shop.

However... as he passed the shop’s entrance, Wu Tian quickly glanced at the house numbers of the two shops adjacent to this one.

At that instant!

Wu Tian’s pupils suddenly contracted!

Goosebumps quickly rose on his arms!

”...”

But Wu Tian hid it well, sitting at the table where they had sat during the day as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the table full of steaming dishes, Wu Tian had no desire to pick up his chopsticks.

”What’s the Shopkeeper’s name?”

Wu Tian asked indifferently.

”My surname is Zhang.”
