Chapter 43: Everyone is a Little Hamster
Washing up and getting all the putty that had dried on his skin and rubbed at some point, Luo Xun put the purified water from today into the water reservoir on the top floor - he had a set of equipment before the end of the world, and he could store water in it without going up to the top floor.
In addition, I made a small bucket of clean water and put it next to the water dispenser, and put it there for later use. There is no shortage of electricity in their homes, so they continue to use the water dispensers they bought before the end of the world.
"You can take instant noodles, rice noodles or something out to exchange things with people, but I think it's better to exchange things like noodles, these things have an expiration date, and we can't eat so much...... I can ask Li Tie about them tomorrow, I remember that they seemed to have gotten a lot of pots and pans made of stainless steel last time. "The last time I went to the supermarket, Li Tie and the others came back with a lot of metal tableware, and when they came to the base, they were in a hurry, and they didn't even bring their own tableware at school, but only bought some simple food.
It's easy to do when you eat a big pot of rice at the base, and there are tableware at the base. But once you get back to where you live, it's a problem β five big men have only two small lunch boxes, and they have to take turns when they eat. Therefore, when they went out two days ago, they had fished a lot of money from the supermarket, and there were many wealthy people in the family at this time.
Li Tie is also smart, and the tableware he came from the supermarket did not take those porcelain and glassware that looked bright and good-looking and could not withstand bumps, but picked up various metal tableware to use, and he did save a lot.
Luo Xun pulled a small abacus in his heart, and Yan Fei poured cold water on him: "What if they hear that you are going to do something and want to get a geothermal heat?" β
Luo Xun was dumbfounded, yes, if they came to Yan Fei for help, they wouldn't stop them, and didn't they live on the top floor because of the good light here, in addition to solar energy, the other main goal is to grow vegetables and eat? There are five of them, and they need them more than they need on their own.
"That'...... Let's go out tomorrow to collect something. β
Yan Fei couldn't help but laugh, took two steps forward and naturally put his hand on Luo Xun's shoulder: "Let's see the situation tomorrow, we have collected a lot of metal materials this time, I have seen them, some of them are stainless steel, and they have not been used when I made things before, and this time it can be used for floor heating, and I will go out tomorrow to change some and come back, which should be enough for the next room." But what about the house we live in? Do you want to remodel together? β
The house had been renovated long before the end of the world, and if it was to be remodeled, the floor would have to be lifted, the pipes had to be relaid, and finally the floor had to be re-floored. And all the furniture in the house had to be moved, and the project was too big. But if you take advantage of the opportunity to decorate next door now, you can save a lot of things in the future.
Luo Xun's expression was tangled and distorted a few times, but he still decided to give up for the time being: "Wait a minute, I don......'t know about this house yet" He was always worried that the owner of this house would find it? Although he knows that this community has not been completely capped and the builder has not yet done the house book, so the owner of this community only has a certificate in his hand that can redeem the house book in the future, but the owner of the house is the owner after all, no matter whether people will come back with evidence or not, they will be in trouble when they arrive.
As for the family of three living here in the previous life, why didn't they meet the original landlord? Even if the landlord at that time didn't die in the zombie tide, I'm afraid that for the three of them to be unreasonable, plus the size bonus, etc., after the original owner found it, they may not necessarily give up the residence, right? Maybe they will say that the black is white, but who will take those things with them when they flee anyway? Don't you see how many people didn't even know where they lost their ID cards when they registered before?
Subconsciously was taken up to the second floor by Yan Fei, and after entering the bedroom, Luo Xun's footsteps paused stiffly, and he couldn't blame him for feeling uncomfortable when he saw the bed now, it was really these days...... Ahem, every morning when I wake up, I am so scared by the people sleeping next to me that I can't be more abusive!
I don't know if it's too tiring to be busy decorating during the day these days? Or is the north wind blowing fiercely outside, and the heat source around you is particularly attractive? Anyway, every morning in the past few days, Luo Xun found himself sleeping in Yan Fei's arms......
Of course, while sleeping in someone's arms, his hand will naturally hold the waist of the male dog that makes the mouth water, if he is calm enough, he can also touch two handfuls before getting up early to take advantage...... In other words, it feels really good!
As a result, Luo Xun lives in entanglement, pain, expectation, and self-examination every day, and because of this, now he feels hot as soon as he returns to this bedroom, but a trace of expectation involuntarily rises in his heart.
In fact, Luo Xun also doubted that Mao had his head resting on his arm every day when he woke up? Instead of holding someone else in your arms? It's not like you're playing hooliganism, it's like someone...... Ahem, take the initiative to hug him?
Luo Xun is not a fool, but he knows better that he is not so attractive, if he has half of Yan Fei's appearance and body level, maybe he will think that Yan Fei deliberately took the initiative to say something. But the problem is that he is too self-aware! An ordinary person like himself with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure, who is even a head shorter than Yan Fei, and can't be found if he is thrown in the pile, where can he see Yan Da Beauty?
Of course, there is another possibility--Luo Xun secretly turned his face sideways to glance at someone who was standing by the bed and undressing--maybe this thing had a habit of holding things while sleeping! Even if you are not honest after sleeping, you will roll to him, but if someone is not in the habit of holding things, she will never sleep in his arms! Up to waking up next to each other!
Slowly climbed into bed from the side by the window, Luo Xun decided to go to bed later today, anyway, tomorrow everyone decided to take a day off for a while and did not need to decorate, and sleeping later would not affect anything, so he just took the opportunity to ......
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Luo Xun, who had just sneaked a peek at him from time to time, he fell into a dark and sweet dream after dipping his pillow in no more than three seconds, Yan Fei raised his eyebrows.
This guy looks really tired these days, and he can basically fall asleep with a pillow. It can be seen from Luo Xun's reaction in the past two days that this guy has doubts about sleeping in his arms every day, but there is no evidence yet.
Can...... Who is Yan Fei? Even if he was carried into his bed, hugged and took advantage of the behavior of sleeping together, what if he was discovered? If he is not discovered, he will only sleep honestly with him for the time being - it takes a lot of money to decorate the house these days, how can he have time to fall in love during the day? But if it's discovered...... Hehe, he will definitely honestly and unceremoniously directly use his hands and feet to simply eat people, and fundamentally solve all kinds of troubles caused by this problem.
As for the renovation after eating? He can use the method of helping Li Tie and a few of them make weapons to recruit them to help decorate, anyway, they have been coveting the hands and crossbows used by themselves and Luo Xun for a long time.
Pulling open the quilt, he naturally hugged the person into his own quilt, Yan Fei got into it and wrapped his left hand under Luo Xun's neck, pulled the quilt with his right hand, and then naturally went in along the hem of his shirt at the back of his waist.
Luo Xun unconsciously rubbed into Yan Fei's arms, raised his hand and honestly wrapped his arms around the waist of the male dog who had been thinking about it all day, and slept more steadily. I didn't notice that the ill-intentioned hand behind me was sliding up and down on my back, and I was sliding down the groove of the spine in the middle of my back......
The touch of his hand made Yan Fei's eyes narrow, and his chin was pressed against the top of Luo Xun's head. Or eat it now?
Yan Fei's mind would turn to this matter every night in the past few days, and at the beginning, it was only because of the warmth and the feeling of home that Luo Xun brought him that he wanted to keep him by his side. But in the past few days, since he came back from this outing, all kinds of behaviors of approaching him and deliberately holding him into his arms when he slept at night have made Yan Fei realize that he seems to be really bent, and he will really have a person of the same sex*.
But now is not the time, wait, wait a few more days to find a chance to find a way to pick things out, and you can eat people into their stomachs......
Luo Xun stood weakly in front of the bathroom sink, obviously thinking about going to bed later last night, to see if he took the initiative to carry it over, or if he subconsciously rolled over after falling asleep. Can...... Fall asleep when you lie down or something.,Even if I studied every day until midnight before the college entrance examination, I didn't sleep so quickly, okay?!
Could it be that this kind of problem occurs because he was reborn once and his spirit is not good? The fatigue of two lifetimes adds up to ......
After brushing his teeth and washing his face hatefully, Luo Xun walked out of the bathroom.
Yan Fei was wearing the black tight high-necked woolen sweater he had worn when he first came here, and was sitting at the table waiting for Luo Xun to have breakfast together.
Today, the two of them ate wontons, which were wrapped and frozen in the refrigerator before Luo Xun's end of the world, and a lot of them have been consumed, and now only some are left to survive by storing food at home.
There was no conversation between the two, and after each of them finished eating the ravioli, he got up and knocked on the door.
Wang Duo yawned to open the door, rubbing his eyes and letting people into the room: "It's early, we haven't cleaned it up yet." β
The putty in the room looks much whiter and cleaner than before because of the putty that has been wiped once. Although there are still some places on the wall that seem a little uneven, they are still much stronger than the previous one.
Li Tie is fighting to the death with one of his Nests; Wu Xin was slapping lotion on his own face...... Luo Xun always felt that this would aggravate the symptoms of his acne; He Qiankun was munching on a pack of instant noodles that were used as crispy noodles, and after seeing the two of them, he waved his hand and continued to eat busily.
The fact that he was going to get a geothermal heat, but the stainless steel at home was not enough, and he needed to go out to change some things to explain to Li Tie and them, in exchange for a group of people whose eyes were shining, they almost jumped up and hugged the two.
"Earth Dragon?!"
"It's going to be a lot warmer at home, right?"
"You can also take the opportunity to turn your home into a greenhouse to grow vegetables!!"
"But...... You should use a lot of stainless steel, right? Where are we going? β
The five of them were excited at first, but then they thought of the actual problem and then wilted again. This method is very good, their current room has not been decorated to the floor, and they can take the opportunity to add a pipe to transform the home into a more suitable life after the end of the world.
But even the various materials of stainless steel need to be exchanged with something. Li Tie and they are not as good as Luo Xun, there is not so much food in the house to take out and exchange things, although they have some points, but these points have to be exchanged for food later!
Luo Xun thought for a while and said: "It's better for you to take a look at the situation first, anyway, the floor will not be installed until the wall is completely done, and the speed of our decoration is slow, so it is better to wait until the end to see the situation and then decide whether to install it or not." β
Li Tie looked at them and nodded, yes, although they also want to get this thing in a hurry, but with their group of second-knife novice decoration team, I'm afraid they won't be able to install their own house within a month or two! Maybe there will be another way for them to earn points, so it's good to exchange them with the people in the base for huΓ n materials!
After discussing the matter, everyone got up and prepared to go downstairs.
Luo Xun and Yan Fei had already made two backpacks of instant noodles and other things before they went out, and they were going to exchange them for some things to come back.
Li Tie and the others took the points that everyone had saved before, and went to the window of the base to sell food to exchange for food - the official food is large and sincere, but only accepts points to exchange for huΓ n. The free market outside depends on who is more powerful in the mouth and eyes of the buyer and seller, and who can exchange more and more affordable things.
Yan Fei directly "lifted" the steel plate in front of one of the two elevators, revealing the elevator door behind and pressing the button. After the elevator came up, everyone walked in, and after entering, the steel plate was put back in place. Although it is very inconvenient to go up and down the stairs every time, and no one can open these "doors" except Yan Fei, this is just because there are too many things in the corridor now, and it is a temporary method taken for fear that outsiders will come in and take advantage of the busy time when everyone is busy.
During this period, Luo Xun unexpectedly discovered that it seems that the seven people on this floor all have Cheng DΓΉ's family squatting attributes? Anyway, in the three days that they were locked upstairs, no one was making a fuss about going out for a walk, and if it weren't for the fact that 1601 didn't have enough food to eat, Luo Xunyan suspected that they would rather sleep at home all day than go out to buy things and go shopping.
Of course, Luo Xun himself is the same at this point, the only one who seems to be uncomfortable with this is Yan Fei, and there is a great chance that this product will be assimilated by Luo Xun and several people in the future.
Happily going downstairs, after walking downstairs, everyone obviously felt that there were more people in the base.
The seven-story building that was about to be rebuilt after the demolished bungalow next to it had been framed in just a few days, and seeing the progress of that building, Wang Duo pointed there and said with a smile: "Don't look back, people have even built a house, we haven't renovated the house yet, right?" β
Luo Xun smiled and said, "Don't say it, it's really possible." "It's winter and it's not easy to decorate the house, and they're going to make it more detailed this time (in fact, because they haven't mastered the trick yet, and it's too slow to do it), maybe no one is really building a house fast."
A few people walked to the gate and pointed to a place as a place to come back and meet later, and the group of seven people dispersed.
Li Tie and the five of them went to the official food window to buy food, and Luo Xun and Yan Fei went shopping to buy things.
As soon as you come out of the Hongjing community, you can see that the streets outside are occupied by all kinds of small merchants and vendors, various temporary sheds have been built on the sidewalks, and many people are wrapped in several layers of quilts and sleep under the eaves of the former shops on the side of the road.
It's still winter, and although it hasn't snowed recently, the weather is still very cold, and many people have obviously arrived at the base recently. Because the total number of houses that can be lived in the base is not much, some houses must be reserved for those who have the ability and ordinary people who have the materials and are willing to rent houses, and there are even some people who forcibly evict the original residents to live in by themselves because there are no manpower in the base to maintain order...... Therefore, there are not a few people who sleep on both sides of the road temporarily.
Luo Xun didn't feel any discomfort with this kind of chaos, or rather, he felt that this was what the post-apocalyptic base should look like.
Luo Xun walked with great interest while looking at the things placed on both sides of the road, there are more people who have fled to the base recently than before, and these people who have fled have everything with them, from food and clothing utensils, to pots and pans, and there are all kinds of things that are indescribably useful, of unknown origin, and that they came back from nowhere before coming to the base.
There is even a situation that some people are in charge of some kind of work before the end of the world, or simply watch the warehouse for transportation, and when they flee for their lives after the end of the world, they also pull the goods on their cars together to escape.
If the car is carrying food, then it is okay, just leave it at home and eat it slowly. But there are many people who carry with them what they carry with them is not food and clothing at all, and it is useless to put them in their hands.
Some people throw away the useless things along the way, but there are still people who bring them into the base.
Luo Xun and the others saw that someone was directly driving a car parked on the side of the road, and the trunk of the car was opened, and there were a bunch of things in it.
A van was full of socks and underwear, and there were many people in front of his car, one of whom was standing on a big rock and shouting: "Take a walk and take a look~ The unpolluted and natural small underwear produced before the end of the world can be replaced with a pack of instant noodles!" Two packs of biscuits can also be replaced! A base specialty, big steamed buns, can be exchanged for two~ Don't miss it when you pass by~. β
On the other side, there is a pile of plastic products in the car, from shelves for toothbrushes and towels in the bathroom, to drying racks, paper baskets, and buckets.
The two of them walked and looked, not to mention, there were really many kinds of things, from all kinds of daily necessities to all kinds of materials, to jewelry, but only the stall where to buy food was basically invisible.
There's no way, clothes, shoes and socks or something, everyone can still wear it. But the food ...... The more you eat this stuff, the less you eat! Especially after the vast majority of people have been abused once after entering the last days when they have no food at home and have to risk their lives to go out to find food, who still doesn't know the preciousness of food at home?
So, despite the cheerful shouting of these stalls outside, there are indeed many people who are very interested in these things, but few people are really willing to pay for their own rations in exchange for things.
Even if a lucky team goes out and brings back a bunch of food to sell, it will often be snapped up by people who hear the sound in just ten minutes.
Even though most people have no shortage of food in their homes, in this precarious environment, everyone has a hamster heart, and everyone is determined to transform their home into a hamster nest.
