Chapter 1489: Surviving the Doomsday 24
I saw that the time was exactly seven o'clock in the morning, and on the TV was a beautiful woman in civilian clothes, with a sweet voice, looking at the manuscript in her hand, and started to broadcast.
"Dear citizens, today is..."
There is no remote control, so the volume and start and stop times in all rooms should be the same. The only choice is to turn the TV off or on.
But obviously most people don't want to close it, because apart from TV, there is no other entertainment here. Of course, there are certain activities between couples that even if Kathy wasn't here, Jack thought, she wouldn't think about it.
I heard something moving outside: "Open the door, get your meal, open the door fully, dong dong dong, open the door, get your meal..."
After knocking once, all the doors opened, including Xining.
The oatmeal in her hand, even though it was very thin and made with milk powder and no sugar, made Xi Ning almost cry after eating it. Jack and Kathy ate without even raising their heads as they quickly put spoonfuls into their mouths.
It was the first time in more than half a year that I had a decent breakfast.
After eating, put your mouth to the edge of the bowl to drink. After drinking until there is not a drop left, lick it clean. Such a clean bowl saves water. It only needs a little water to rinse it and put it aside for use next time.
At noon, what was delivered was a beef burger set, including mashed potatoes, French fries, and a packet of ketchup. Beef is minced meat made into a round patty. There are two slices in a burger, with onions and shredded lettuce sandwiched in the middle.
Eating these things felt like entering heaven, and Cathy was happier than she had ever been during the New Year.
These junk foods that used to be sold everywhere are now simply more satisfying and satisfying than eating caviar and foie gras.
The fries were eaten while watching TV in the afternoon. Jack opened the ketchup packet a little bit, and Kathy held it in one hand, squeezing out a little bit at a time, covering it with fries, and then putting it in her mouth.
In the past, I just squeezed it into the basin without thinking about how much it would stick to the plate.
There were only about twenty or thirty chips in a bowl of French fries. The three of them ate little by little while watching TV. They actually ate for more than an hour.
Suddenly a notice appeared on the edge of the TV, calling for enlistment...it was recruiting again, but this time I didn't know who it was for.
Someone outside shouted with a loudspeaker: "We need you, join us, and for your family. In the army, you will have better treatment and have the opportunity to become a hero. When you are old, you can proudly tell yourself Grandson, what a great man his grandfather is..."
Compared to the noise outside, the room seemed much quieter. Only the TV made a not too loud sound that was just audible.
Although the gunshots last night were still in my ears, some people were still moved. After all, everyone is in the military zone now, and this is the lowest level of the military zone. We can live so well at the grassroots level, but what if we go further in...
In troubled times, there will be opportunities. Instead of waiting here half-dead, just go and have a look. Just like a gambler, even if he knows that he will lose more than he will win, he will still give it a try.
Jack, who was leaning next to him, asked softly: "Can I go this time?"
Xining picked up his last French fries, thought about it, and broke it into two pieces, giving half to Casey and half to Jack.
Jack didn't answer: "You can eat it."
Xining put it in his mouth and said slowly: "Are you sure that the situation inside has stabilized? Regardless of the family or the country, if it is immortal, the east wind will prevail over the west wind today, and the west wind will overpower the east wind tomorrow. Those who enlisted before The soldiers have become the losers today, and no one can tell. If the regular army loses, they will become rebels. "The rebels now may actually become rebels after they are beaten back. It won't matter if your life is lost then, your family will be unlucky as well. I don’t know if those who stayed in the same place were eating the same food or less. Anyway, it is impossible to be like them, with a small private room, a bath, and a hamburger set meal.
Xining turned over and muttered before going to bed: "If you go, we will divorce."
Jack suddenly let out a "chi" and burst into laughter.
What Xining did on the first day was to calculate the water consumption and flush the used water into the toilet. After dinner, I immediately took Kathy to take a shower, this time dry cleaning. There is also hot water in the faucet. Wet your body first, rub out the dead skin, and then rinse with water. Otherwise, in these two minutes, the amount of water output is so small, and the time is up as soon as the whole body is wet.
He didn't dare to let Jack go out, although he was recruiting soldiers outside now and he could go out. But in case Jack went out and was persuaded to become a soldier, it was better to stay in the room. The shower curtain is opaque and extends from top to bottom. Everything can only protect against gentlemen, not villains. If someone really has evil intentions, they can still break in even if there is a door.
Seeing the bath water flowing away from the sewer pipes, Xi Ning wondered, would the water be processed, put into bottles, and provided to people in civilian areas?
Think more deeply about whether those corpses will be put into the cold storage until needed... After all, more than half a year has passed, and a batch of meat in the cold storage should have been consumed, leaving some empty space.
You can't think about it anymore, otherwise you will have thoughts when you touch the meat. Out of sight, the mind is pure.
Sitting on the edge of the bed with Kathy, clean and smelling good, waiting for her hair to dry. And Jack went to the bathroom to take a shower and was probably applying soap, and she had random thoughts again.
Of course I'm not thinking about "that" aspect, but just following up on the food issue just now.
Even if you really wait until that time, you may eat food from the civilian areas first, use "food" to feed "food", and then use living "food" when it really doesn't work in the end.
No, I said I didn’t want to, so why did I think about it again?
I hate this kind of mission, it’s so cruel!
Mo Ming: "This is called cruelty? Wow!"
Xining: "Hi, long time no see, great dark system, when will the mission end?"
Mo Ming: "Although my name contains Mo, it does not mean it is darkness. Please remove the darkness in the future and keep the others."
No nonsense, you can get points early when the task ends.
I can actually hear this: "It's almost time. In a few days, we can go out. After we go out, the task will basically be completed."
How many days was that? One day, two days, three days, or half a year? As a system, you should know approximately when you can go out.
Mo Ming: "A few days is a few days, within one day to half a year."
...Has anyone ever seen such a cheap system?
At nine o'clock in the evening, lights out on time. Xining and Cathy still slept in the bed below. The bed was much bigger and the mattress was much thicker and softer. It still smelled good today and they slept really comfortably.
Jack seemed to have not slept well up there, tossing and turning. I don’t know whether he is thinking about conscription or she.
The next afternoon, when Jack was doing push-ups and abs next to him after a hearty lunch, she was sure it was the latter. When you have food and clothing, you will think about that. The food has been good these two days. If you can eat enough, you will have excess energy. The end of the mission should be coming soon, is it possible that she needs to take the place of "Bridal Night"?
