Chapter 2361 Doomsday Survival Competition 23
Xining carried the rice bowl and walked to the office next to him with his neck hunched. During this short walk, he felt like the exposed skin was being cut by an ice knife, which was extremely irritating. The cold air kept getting in every crack, and even the thick down jacket couldn't seem to block the coldness that penetrated every crack.
I couldn't help but quicken my pace. When I got to the door, I didn't even want to knock on it with my hands. I just shouted: "Instructor, can I come in?"
"Come in!" A voice came from inside the house.
She put her shoulder against the door and moved inside.
The layout of the house is the same as other rooms, with thick mats on the floor and a pipe stove near the window. Water was also boiling on the stove, steaming gurglingly. Water vapor can make the house less dry, which is really useful.
Not only were the instructor and battalion commander there, there were four other people. The three of them were wearing military coats, sitting cross-legged on the floor, eating steamed buns and gruel.
"Girl is here, come and sit. There are no stools, so sit wherever you want." The instructor greeted enthusiastically and moved aside to make room.
Xining walked over, sat down cross-legged and drank the porridge in the bowl while it was still hot. After walking a long way, the porridge that was originally steaming became cold very quickly.
He drank half the bowl in one breath, took a bite of the bun and said, "The cooking team said they also have to go to work and provide two meals a day, morning and evening. I think there is a stove in the house anyway, give me something, and I will cook for myself. You can also open a small stove for those in need.”
"Nothing else, just make some hot soup and noodles or something."
Highlight the key points and start a small focus. Think about it, a bowl of hot soup is better than any ginger soup after a day out. Although the canteen also provides hot soup and rice, half a cabbage and ten eggs can make a regular soup for dozens of people, which is not as delicious as cooking it alone.
The instructor became interested: "Sister, would you like to burn more heat? There are about ten people staying here for logistics coordination, and more than thirty family members..."
Well, I don’t want to waste anything, just use it when you can. Xining doesn’t want to take everything on himself: “There are too many people, there is no electricity or gas, and I need help setting the fire and chopping vegetables. I just cook.”
"No problem." The instructor looked happily at the people next to him: "How about Commander Wang? Your people will help when the time comes?"
Commander Wang? She looked over. She had a shaved head and a dark face with clear outlines. She was average-looking and could not tell her age. After all, they were weathered and had rough skin. They were all the same in their twenties, thirties, and forties, especially The place is very bright for eyes.
Because they are all wearing military coats now, which blocks the epaulettes of the uniforms underneath, it is difficult to see what military rank and military type they are. If nothing else, it should be from the compound next door.
I didn’t believe it at first, but after four consecutive days of snow and the news, it finally happened.
Commander Wang was also eating. He turned to a group of three people next to him and said, "Asking them to cook together when the time comes is not to help, but to order!"
"Yes!" Two of the people in the group next to them stood up suddenly and saluted.
Commander Wang nodded: "Continue eating."
After giving the order, the two sat down and continued to eat steamed buns and drink porridge.
Xi Ning twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, "Okay, this is an order. It will be much easier to arrange things with the order."
The instructor was as gentle and casual as usual: "Battle Commander Li and I are here, let us know if you need anything. Generally speaking, dinner starts at half past eleven, and cooking starts at eleven, right? Just make some random things, and now we still have The only way to get some food is to cook porridge and gnocchi soup.”
"Okay, cook whatever you have. Anyway, I'm going to eat with you." She finished the gruel, gnawed one bun, and then picked up another to continue eating. "That Erniu is in room 307." The instructor thought for a moment: "Should you call him over and meet him?"
"No need, as long as he lives well." Anyway, after the mission is over, basically goodbye. She didn't want the body owner to follow Er Niu back to that barren mountain village, squatting in a corner every time she ate, working with a big belly, and carrying a child while collecting firewood.
The instructor also noticed her coldness and changed the question: "What do you want to tell him?"
Xi Ning ate the buns without raising his eyes: "Tell him to be careful and raise his gun first when he encounters someone. Don't let him get close until he knows the details. If something goes wrong, shoot him and hit him on the head."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed, but the silence only lasted for a few seconds.
The instructor laughed: "Why is this?"
"Ask him not to want to die, just do it."
"Hunger will turn people into beasts. In their eyes, it doesn't matter who you are. You have guns and cars. They are all they need. Even if you have money, they can't buy them. The electricity in Zheng City Prison has also been cut off. Who knows? Can you determine whether the person lying in front of you is a disaster victim or a death row inmate who just escaped from prison? There are also public security bureaus and mental hospitals..."
Nowadays, electronic access control and electronic locks are basically used. Without electricity, they all rely on their own engines for power supply. But after two or three days, when the temperature drops low enough, or the diesel runs out, the doors will all open. At that time, a group of desperadoes all ran out. Because of their identities, they did not dare to go to the resettlement site and could only form gangs to snatch supplies everywhere.
Commander Wang suddenly asked: "What if an innocent person is killed by mistake?"
"Smart dogs know how to obey commands, such as lying down and shaking hands. If you ask him to stand still and insist on moving, he is either stupid, self-righteous, or has ulterior motives. People will encounter many, but they only have one life. .”
The words seemed cold and callous, and that was enough. If you don't want to hear it, you will be educated by reality sooner or later, but you will have to pay the price of blood and life.
"I've finished eating. Come back at eleven o'clock, or call me at that time." She stood up with the empty basin and the plastic bag containing the remaining two buns.
Suddenly something came to mind: "The toilet will be clogged soon, and the entire sewer will freeze. If you don't want feces and water to flow across the ground after the snow melts a year later, it's best to find a way. For example, dig a deep hole in the ground to make a cesspool." , lead everything inside. ”
Then he took a deep breath and said to himself: "One year, a lot."
It was like seeing the excrement of hundreds of people in a year, covering the entire compound, and the "fragrance" floated for several kilometers.
So he shook his head and walked out regardless of other people's expressions.
He quickly returned to his room, poured some hot water into the rice bowl, swung the spoon back and forth to dilute all the porridge on the bowl into the hot water, and then drank it all. This way you can wash the dishes without wasting any food.
Those who have no food stored outside have begun to brave the wind and snow to look for food. At this time, they will feel guilty for wasting food. Seeing her like this, the other roommates in the house also did the same.
Xining sat back on his bed, put the quilt on his body, and leaned against the wall to conserve his energy.
That room will definitely talk about her, don't doubt her, even if they think she is not Zeng's younger brother. Either send her to a resettlement site, where food and basic necessities for survival are also available; or she can stay here.
