Chapter 1478: Surviving the Doomsday 13
Only about half the people have arrived now, and many of the beds are empty. Many people choose a position near the door so they can escape quickly. Others chose a position against the wall so that they could have one side undisturbed. So there are people in all four corners.
Xining looked around, thought for a while, and walked to the pillar.
He chose a bed that was one bed away from the pillar and put down his bag: "Kathy and I will sleep on the lower bunk, and you will sleep on the upper bunk. If you find it troublesome, you can sleep on the opposite bed."
"I'll sleep on the top bunk." Although it's a bit troublesome to climb up and down on the top bunk, it can better protect the "family". No one wants an outsider to sleep on top of his wife and daughter, even if he is a woman.
Jack had no luggage, so there was nothing to pack. He was tall, and he could get a general view of the bed above by standing on tiptoes. He reached out and rummaged through the bedding and pillows, and saw her putting on Kathy's slippers and socks, lying down, and covering her with the quilt.
Although it wasn't night yet, Casey hadn't slept in bed for the past two days and was obviously very tired.
Xining sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Casey who fell asleep with his eyes closed, and sighed slightly. It was really pitiful to lose his father at such a young age. But you are lucky to be alive!
Just as she was thinking about it, a furry hand reached out from the side and hugged her shoulder.
It was Jack who put his arm around her.
To outsiders, it looks so cozy for the couple to sit on the edge of the bed and look at their sleeping daughter. But if you knew that this "couple" just met at noon yesterday, and the man forced himself into the woman's car with a gun, I don't know how he would feel.
Jack asked softly, even though his voice was lowered, he still revealed the fortitude of a tough guy: "Why did you choose this place?"
Although they have only known each other for a short time, every decision she makes always has goals and intentions.
Xining looked at Casey, who was sleeping like a little angel, and said softly with a smile: "The main beams of the building play a supporting role. Even if the earthquake collapses the building, the beams may still not collapse. Then there will be something underneath. With enough space, it is possible for the rescue team to dig through the rubble and rescue the people.”
She said with a bit of joking: "You don't even know this? Mr. Construction Worker."
While Jack exhaled hot air from his nose, obviously laughing, she raised her arm and slowly bumped her back with her elbow: "Also, we have just met, so we should cultivate our relationship first and don't get too close. ”
This elbow strike is very slow, just like a demonstration, and of course it has no lethality.
Jack raised his hand and wrapped his palm around her elbow to prevent her from moving back. He said in a brisk tone: "Are you going to throw it away after using it?"
"This is not called taking advantage, it's called helping each other." She corrected: "And the relationship should be cultivated later. After all, my bastard is still alive, and I am a very principled person. Wait until two days later, when I become a widow Say it again.”
This reason is really understandable. The relationship between men and women in this country is quite open, but it still attaches great importance to marriage. Friends can talk, but the bottom line is marital fidelity. For this reason, the law also protects the innocent party during divorce. Those who make mistakes will suffer heavy losses when it comes to property division.
Although the whole world will end soon, and there will be no such thing as property, you should have a bottom line as a human being, otherwise you will be like that scumbag. It seems that it is for love, but in fact it is achieved by concealing and sacrificing the family to achieve the so-called love. . This love should not be called love, irresponsible lust should be more appropriate.
Jack let out a long breath, and he didn't know whether it was regret or something. He lowered his hand, but he didn't sit back, and he was still very close.
"Okay, Mrs. Lewis." These words are quite humorous. It seems that Jack still has some emotional intelligence and is not as simple-minded as his body shows: "Just to tell you, my surname happens to be Lewis, so there is no need to change my surname in the future. .”
Lewis is a common surname, but it is quite a coincidence that they share the same surname. The meaning is already obvious...
Xining did not look back and said calmly: "Save your life first. The current environment is also suitable for emotional sublimation. If you have someone you like, treat me as your younger brother and sister. Multiple family members are fine."
What's more, the body owner is a surgeon and belongs to the talented category. In any era, good doctors are always in short supply. Jack curled his lips: "I don't have such a bastard brother." After saying that, he took off his shoes and socks, quickly climbed onto the bed above, and lay down.
Xining laughed suddenly. I don't know if that scumbag's ears are hot at this moment. Even if they are, he should be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
She also lay down, lying next to Casey as undisturbed as possible, and soon fell asleep.
Because she no longer had worries, it was safer to hide here than outside anyway, so she fell into a very deep sleep, and it was Kathy who woke her up.
"Mommy, Mommy, it's time to eat!" Casey's voice was soft and sweet.
She rubbed her eyes and saw Kathy sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a brioche bun and a packet of milk and eating it.
Jack sat on the empty bed opposite. Seeing that she was awake, he handed her a biscuit and a packet of milk.
"Thank you!" She took it, opened the thin transparent plastic outer packaging of the bread, and started eating.
Then he opened the can of luncheon meat, and while opening it, he said: "Dinner was distributed just now, and I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I took Casey to get it."
With a hard pull, the lid of the luncheon meat was pulled open. Jack couldn't find a tool to divide the luncheon meat at the moment. Xining took the bag, pulled out a small knife from inside, and handed it to Jack.
"Thank you!" Jack opened the knife and scratched in the lunch meat can: "Fortunately, Kathy was here and told you that you were still asleep and didn't go, otherwise you would only have one portion per person. If you are a family, you can also get a can. Otherwise you can only get two pieces.”
Xining smiled and reached out to touch Casey's little head. Who said that such a young daughter is a burden, she can still help.
Jack handed over the divided can, which had been divided into three even slices. Xining took out a piece and gave it to Casey, and then gave it back to Jack: "I don't like meat, you two should share it."
"Don't worry about not having enough to eat, men can get two portions." Jack grabbed two bags of bread and shook them.
Even two bags of bread are not enough to satisfy an adult male. It seems that this state of semi-starvation will last until I can go outside.
Xining reached for the can of luncheon meat, took out one piece, took off half of it, put the other half back and handed it over: "I really don't like meat, this is enough. You eat the rest, I don't want to Want a skinny man.”
Jack didn't insist anymore and ate all the meat in the can. After eating, he wiped his mouth and stood up: "You go to bed first, I'll be back soon."
Xining asked: "Where are you going?"
Jack replied: "Let's see if there is any work we can do and bring back some food."
Xining sneered: "Thousands of soldiers have just arrived, and some of them are laborers. You'd better lie down and rest. Staying still can maintain your strength."
