Chapter 45 Determination

Because the two of them are in Xingwang District right now, they naturally choose the principle of proximity, and plan to find out the 10 suspicious restaurants in Xingwang District first, and then go to Chenghua District.

Before leaving, Xia Qi also specially told the person in charge of the task force, but there was not much substance, it was nothing more than that the police people went according to his previous deployment, and explained that Chu Mengqi would be in charge of the next things here, so that they could do a good job of auxiliary work.

Pushing the mess to Chu Mengqi, Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed in his heart, in fact, in his feelings, it was this kind of trivial thing that was the most tiring.

Sitting in the car, Xia Qi used the communicator to call Chu Mengqi again, told Chu Mengqi about the deployment on his side, and told Chu Mengqi that he and Leng Yue would start investigating those suspicious restaurants.

Chu Mengqi didn't show any dissatisfaction when she learned about it, but just told Xia Qi that her things had been released through various media platforms, and the rest would be handled by her, while they just had to investigate those restaurants and find a way to find out those zombies.

Chu Mengqi obviously knew very well what she needed to do in her heart, which made Xia Qi feel that his reminder was a little redundant, in fact, he had always been very clear that Chu Mengqi seemed to be nervous and did what he was doing, but he was still very reliable in this kind of thing.

In less than 10 minutes of driving, Xia Qi and Leng Yue were already in front of a suspicious restaurant.

This restaurant is the Dongliu Street hot pot restaurant that Zhang Bin's wife Xu Xiaoxian said.

A small storefront, opened on a commercial street crowded with all kinds of restaurants and snacks, because it is not a meal, so there is no one in the whole street, it is deserted, and only a few shops have business.

As for the hot pot restaurant they wanted to investigate, it was completely dark, and there was no one at all.

The owner of the shop, a middle-aged man with a bare head and old-fashioned glasses, fanned back and forth with a paper fan in his hand while looking east and west along the sides of the shopping street.

"Look at this boss, he doesn't look like a good person."

When he saw the shopkeeper, Xia Qi couldn't help but complain.

After Leng Yue heard this, there was nothing that still fit his character, and with an expressionless face, Xia Qi came to the front of the shopkeeper.

"What? Is it closed today? ”

Xia Qi glanced at the boss and asked suspiciously.

"It's open, please come inside."

Seeing that the two of them were here to eat, the boss's ass hurriedly lifted up from the chair and beckoned them to come in with a smile.

Xia Qi and Leng Yue followed the shopkeeper into the store, the interior was just as they saw outside, it was not very spacious, the area was no more than 70 square meters, and some tables were crowded with them.

They found a place closest to the cash register and sat down, and the boss had already put the menu on their table.

Xia Qi took the menu and looked it up and down, then put down the menu and said:

"Two portions of pork, mutton and beef, by the way, cut two plates of tomatoes without sugar."

After hearing what Xia Qi ordered, the boss was more or less dazed, and saw him smile and asked:

"Is that all? Don't you want drinks or something? ”

"Don't."

Xia Qi shook his head, and then deliberately urged:

"Hurry up, I'm hungry."

The shopkeeper glanced at Xia Qi a little unpleasantly, I don't know if it was because of Xia Qi's urging tone, or simply because Xia Qi didn't order much.

Waiting for the boss to enter the kitchen to prepare, Xia Qi lit a cigarette and said to Leng Yue with a hippie smile:

"Leng Shen, you can eat more when you eat zombie meat for a while, this thing is really a big supplement, make sure you eat it big and hard."

"I don't have to eat it to tell if it's zombie meat."

Leng Yue obviously didn't hear that Xia Qi was telling him a meat joke, and suddenly replied at this time.

Xia Qi smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and didn't know how to get back to Leng Yue, so he deliberately pretended to be watching the shopkeeper, and turned his head to the back kitchen that was covering the curtain.

Soon, the shopkeeper walked out of the back kitchen with a copper pot with charcoal fire, and after it was placed on the table smoothly, he said to Xia Qi:

"The dipping sauce is self-help, you can take it yourself in a while."

The shopkeeper pointed to the table next to them, which was filled with a lot of dipping sauces, all sorts of things, but it looked very complete.

Xia Qi nodded symbolically, and the shopkeeper walked into the back kitchen again, apparently preparing meat for them.

While the shopkeeper hadn't come back yet, Xia Qi turned on the TV hanging on the wall, and after changing two stations in a row, he heard a news report about being infected with corpse poison.

To be more precise, it is a report on the infectious virus, after all, it is not only difficult to be accepted by the public, but even the relevant units will not allow it to be broadcast.

Although there were some differences from the report he wanted, on the whole, he said some of the things he wanted to explain, and it didn't take long for some people who had already begun to show symptoms of necrosis to rush to the police stations in various areas.

When Chu Mengqi gathers them, he will be able to ask some suspicious restaurants from their mouths and completely determine the whereabouts of all the zombies in the incident.

As soon as the news was broadcast, the shopkeeper walked out of the back kitchen with a few plates of meat.

"Pork, mutton, beef, all together."

After the boss finished smiling, Xia Qi and Leng Yue's eyes were on the two plates of beef.

The two plates of beef were a little dark red in color, and there was a strong smell of corpses from them.

People who have not been poisoned by corpses naturally can't smell this corpse smell, so Leng Yue didn't smell it, but when he took out a piece of paper from the pocket in his arms and pasted it on this plate of "beef", he saw that the beef that was originally cut into slices suddenly began to shrink, and then a large amount of yellow pus oozed from the meat.

The boss didn't know what he was busy with in the cashier at this time, so he didn't see this scene, Leng Yue pushed the "beef" in front of him forward, and whispered to Xia Qi:

"Zombie meat indeed."

Xia Qi nodded understandingly, but he didn't immediately go to the boss to trouble, but frowned and picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into the boiling hot pot.

After soaking it again, he put this piece of meat into his mouth a little incomprehensibly.

"What are you doing?"

Faced with Leng Yue's inquiry, Xia Qi didn't say anything, and after chewing twice, he spit out the meat in his mouth, and then he got up from his seat with a gloomy face and stepped to the cash register.
