Chapter 42: The Last Meal of Pork Belly
In front of the black wall, one person standing next to the elevator button hurriedly pressed and held the button to prevent it from turning off, while several other people hurriedly pressed, knocked, and patted the black thing.
Push, push can't move.
ShootγI'm afraid I can't open itγ
Knock...... Hand pain!
"Huh?! It looks like metal! β
"It's so thick, there's no sound when you knock!"
"It's a perfect fit, this thing seems to be one with the wall......"
In order to prevent someone from snooping, in order to prevent the "door panel" from being too thin and easy to be pried open with any tools, so yesterday Yan Fei made these steel walls extremely thick. The thickness of the light alone is a full twenty centimeters, which is one of the important reasons why he feels that his mental strength is overdrawn after repairing the gate.
After tinkering for a long time, the elevator couldn't go down for a long time, and someone wanted to go downstairs and started to call the police after pressing the button on other floors, and it took them five minutes to report that they had to stop going down.
The elevator can't go, what about the stairs?
Except for the two people who were going back to talk to their accomplices because the elevator couldn't go, the rest of the people were still here. Getting on the elevator, this time they didn't go up to the sixteenth floor stupidly, but went to the fifteenth floor, ready to go up the stairs.
As a result, when they walked into the corridor and looked up, they were directly dumbfounded-"Wow...... What the hell is this? β
"That door is blocked!"
"It looks like it's really metal!"
"It was the one who did it yesterday, right? Yesterday I made a lot of steel needles floating. β
Although they still couldn't figure out what Yan Fei's ability was, it didn't hinder their rich associative power. Although they hadn't seen the metal abilities in the army, they knew that Yan Fei could make the steel needles fly, what if these steel plates and steel slides were also blocked here after he flew to the top floor?
As for how to get such a large piece of steel plate upstairs...... Hawkers, anyway, people are superpowers, God knows what to do? And they just think about it, what is unreasonable?
I can't go up, I can't get in, and when I think about the people on the top floor, I'm afraid they're all there this time, and these people have even less courage, so they turned around and went downstairs and left.
By the time Luo Xun and Yan Fei felt that there was not enough metal at home and remembered that there were still a few large steel plates outside that could be used, these people had already gone away.
Yan Fei first took away the metal that was diagonally paved on the stairs, and then removed one layer from several layers of steel plates for use - anyway, there were steel plates blocking the door, was the metal on the stairs useless, and what if the people on the base had something to do to go door to door?
There has to be a place where they can post notifications, right?
After the steel door was thinned, if someone knocked on the door outside, some movement could still be faintly heard inside, Luo Xun They were just to prevent someone from coming up and walking along the way, and they didn't plan to be completely isolated from the world?
When Yan Fei took the steel plate, it happened that the five-person group had also dealt with things like pipes, and they happened to follow them to observe how Luo Xun and the two scraped putty.
This job is a technical job, and you have to be patient, otherwise it will be a problem whether it will be uneven or not, and whether the effect is good or not. The five of them followed for a while, and then hurriedly returned to their room with another putty material to do it.
Seeing that the time was almost noon, Luo Xun put down the work in his hand and said to Yan Fei: "I'll go to hot rice, and I'll continue to work in the afternoon after eating." β
"Well, you go first, I'll figure it out." Yan Fei nodded, his hands and body were already the same as Luo Xun's, a dirty piece here, and a hard piece of putty there. Fortunately, they all wore dirt-resistant clothes before work, otherwise they would still wear their usual clothes like Li Tie and them, and a hundred of them would have to be scrapped.
The five-person group that was about to turn into putty was busy scraping putty, and suddenly smelled a seductive aroma.
Snorting, He Qiankun couldn't help but swallow with a mouthful of saliva: "It seems to be the fragrance of stewed meat, I dreamed of it last night, and now I smell it again, isn't it a dream?" β
"Can anyone stew meat on this day? It's a good fate......" Han Li's eyes were confused, and he felt the urge to get out of the window and drift all the way through the fragrance.
"I must have bought meat jelly at home before the end of the day." Li Tie couldn't help but lean over to the window, trying to smell more fragrance.
"Hey...... I knew that we would have bought a few pieces of meat and kept them......" Wang Duo began to regret it.
"But we don't have a refrigerator? Even if there is a power outage in the urban area, it will be broken! β
A few people were chattering, and when they decided to take out instant noodles and eat instant noodles with this fragrance, Yan Fei came over and asked a few people to eat.
"Eat?" Li Tie and the others were stunned, although they knew that Luo Xun and their family must have surplus food, but they never thought of going over to eat at home.
"Xiao Xun said that everyone has been doing decent work these days, I'm afraid you don't have any surplus food here, everyone has a good meal, isn't it faster to work after that?"
Someone wants to have a treat, and Li Tie and the others still want to have a meal even if they know that they are having a hard time now. Especially after smelling such a fragrant stew just now, nibbling on your own instant noodles is a kind of torture.
After entering the gate of 1603 together, He Qiankun took the lead in snorting, and suddenly said, "Hey? You smell more meat here than we do at home! β
When they turned to the living room, they saw that there was a table made of steel condensed in the middle of the room that had not yet been renovated, and there were seven simple stools on the side of the table, which were also directly shaped from steel, and in the middle of the table was a large bowl of rice - what is it not stewed meat and stew?!
"Meat!"
"It turned out to be your stewed meat!"
"I just said that I dreamed of stew last night, and I didn't smell it wrong just now!!"
At the sight of the stew, the eyes of the five people turned green. Luo Xun brought a large pot of rice to the table and said, "There is still such a piece frozen in the refrigerator, if you put it for a while, it will be bad." Let's just eat it, and then I don't want to eat anymore. "There is indeed only one piece of pork belly in the refrigerator, but there are still some other parts of the meat, but those used for stir-frying, making meat porridge or something are fine, and if you stew it, you still have to say that the pork belly is the most fragrant.
"Good, good!"
"Thank you, Brother Ro! Thank you, Brother Yan! β
"Meat! Meat!! β
Each person fills a large bowl of rice, and one person uses a soup spoon to hold a large spoonful of stewed vegetables and eats it with a stuffy head.
When rice is eaten with this dish, it can be fragrant to people's bones. When they had scooped away a whole bowl of food, they realized that there were other dishes on the table.
Scrambled eggs with celery, stir-fried shredded pork with leeks, and a large bowl of egg soup topped with chopped green coriander.
"Brother Luo, do you have any eggs left?" Biting down half of the braised egg, Li Tie asked vaguely in his mouth.
"One more thing, it's been a bit long, and I'm going to use it all today." In fact, when he boiled eggs last night, he found that one egg was rotten, and Luo Xun was afraid that the other eggs would also be broken, so today he made some of the remaining eggs directly into vegetables and soups, and asked Li Tie and them to help them eliminate them.
There are still quails at home, and after half a day, you can remodel the quail's cage to let them lay eggs, and you will have a steady stream of quail eggs and quails to eat.
Several people nodded violently, and added a bowl of rice to themselves.
"Brother Luo, don't worry, we have learned to scrape putty, and two people will come over in a while to help you scrape together!" The mouths of eating people are short, and they don't have any good things to repay favors now, but it's still no problem to come out with manpower.
Therefore, Luo Xun was not polite, and only smiled and let a few people eat vegetables.
After eating and drinking, the group started work again. Although everyone ate a lot of food at noon, there were still some left, and Luo Xun simply asked a few people to pack it and take it back to their own rooms to eat at night. As for him and Yan Fei? Can you still lack cooking materials at home?
In 1604, the little guy was lying next to the quail's large glass box, still basking in the sun, with a slipper under his chin - from Yan Fei. There is also a slipper under the belly - the provider Luo Xun. There was also a small rice bowl next to the head, and there was nothing in it, but there were still a few pieces of stew here ten minutes ago.
Listening to some faint voices from next door, the little one's ears trembled, and his eyes didn't even open.
Since Luo Xun and the others came back, the big iron plate at home has been opened up a few gaps, and now they are directly taken to the other side of the big hole that has just been opened.
Without the barrier of a large iron plate, it can now spread out on the balcony to dry its fur unscrupulously, and can run over to eat those green things at any time.
Of course, the first time I ate those things, the taste was unacceptable to the little ones. But that day, after jumping out of the iron plate and tasting the green things, he found that he couldn't go back! When he felt hungry, the little one had to nibble on the vegetable leaves with tears in his eyes and pitiful eyes.
I don't think it's delicious after biting once, I feel sour water in my stomach after chewing twice, and I feel like I don't want to eat this thing anymore in my life......
But when the two masters came back and took it back, they ate a lot of dog food to their heart's content, and suddenly for a while, they missed the astringent, bitter, and crunchy stuff again.
After eating a few large pieces of stew today, the little guy couldn't help the thought in his heart again, and quietly ran to the white shelf without the slightest barrier, tore off a green leaf, chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Suddenly, the little guy actually understood that his two masters had to eat these things every time, don't look at the taste is not as delicious as meat, but the taste is still okay when they are eaten together!
As a black back with high requirements for quality of life, it decided to try these things every day after that! Anyway, there are so many kinds, and they all look different, so it's good to taste it and see what it tastes like, and eat the most suitable taste for it~
Several cars drove in the direction of the southwest base, and the people who were building the fence on the periphery saw it from afar, and they all pointed and chatted: "How many waves is this?" β
"I don't know, but there seem to be a lot of zombies coming behind me, right?"
The outer perimeter wall that is now being built at the southwest base wraps the original base in the middle. Because the newly repaired wall is a little far away from the original base, it can only be repaired one by one, and the garrison must be responsible for security defense at the side when each section is repaired, so as not to have any accidents.
So in the past two days, the people in charge of this section of the wall have seen a lot of teams rushing to the base.
Some of them were teams organized by the survivors of the base to go out to search for supplies, some were convoys that had escaped from other bases, and some were people who had lived in the city and had never dared to go out before.
Today, from afar, they see a fleet of vehicles that have not been too small.
"Oh, it's catching up, it's catching up!"
"Someone has been pushed out again...... Alas, what a cruelty. β
"What is this? That day, we also saw a few people first scratch a person all over the body, and the person was also tied up and thrown out, and the zombie pounced on it when he heard it, and it didn't take long to tear the person apart, and the zombie was eaten before it even became a zombie. β
Although the person who spoke seemed to be very regretful, how could he really worry about the dead person in his lively and conspicuous expression?
It's not a big deal to see the excitement, these days they are building the fence and watching the excitement at the same time, but they feel much more interesting than they were in the base before.
While they were talking, another train drove in the distance.
"Hey, there's a tank!"
"It's the team that was sent out before, you see! There are so many cars, there must be those who are big officials who have been rescued! β
"Really, there are still so many people trapped in the building in the city and they don't see them to save them, so I know to take care of these officials first!"
"Who makes the family an official? If you don't save them, who will you save? β
Contrary to the speculation of these onlookers, although there were rescued officials and leaders in this team, more people were ordinary people who drove their own cars all the way, men and women, young and old, as well as scientists and technicians in various fields.
When the convoy caught up, it happened to meet the zombies who were left behind after eating and then looking for the next target, and there was a burst of gunshots, and soon these zombies were completely cleaned up, and the convoy drove towards the gate of the base.
The base has been very lively these days, Luo Xun and they can see it from their own windows, not only the traffic on the street outside, but also many people in the community. But where do they have the time to inquire about this? I'm just busy decorating and cleaning up at home, and I feel that I don't have enough time for a day.
Seven clumsy goods, it took three days to barely scrape the first layer of putty on the walls of the house, in fact, this speed they think is quite fast, but the thought of having to scrape like this twice later, and paint the floor or something, makes the whole world feel like the whole world is going to be gray.
"Tomorrow we will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow we will tile the bathroom and kitchen first, and we will scrape the second time when the walls are completely dry." Luo Xun knew that if he wanted to decorate it, he would have to scrape it three times, especially if there were no major problems, these houses would not be taken back.
Li Tie and the others also knew that they had negotiated with the military before, and they said that if they could get started quickly when the base construction network was built in a few days, the house would not be taken back and directly distributed to them. Of course, you have to make sure that you go to work on time every month, and you can't cheat and cheat.
Therefore, after knowing that this house can be lived in permanently, they will work hard to renovate it, otherwise they can just clean up and live in it? Why do you spend all this time?
"Good! The day after tomorrow is still the old rule, let's learn from Brother Luo Yan first, and then go back to get it ourselves after learning. Li Tie slapped his chest loudly, and suddenly said with a smug smile on his face: "Our mung beans there have sprouted, and today they have finally sprouted!" β
It's still winter, the temperature is relatively low, and the building has long been out of power and gas. If it weren't for Li Tie and the others who came back with an electric heater when they went to the supermarket last time, the mung beans and soybeans they got back would have to wait until the weather was hot before germinating and planting.
"Good! In a day or two you'll be able to eat fried bean sprouts, or you can keep them for planting. Luo Xun sincerely congratulated them.
"We don't want to eat it, wait for it to grow again, and see if we can plant new seeds next year!"
After asking about the mutation again, Luo Xun learned that although there was indeed some mutation in the seeds planted by Li Tie, the proportion was not too large, so he opened it to three or seven. It's a little bit more than my own.,I don't know what causes this mutation rate? In his previous life, Luo Xun had heard that even if some families used primitive seeds to grow crops, they would grow inferior varieties after mutation.
After a long day's work, they returned to the room in 1604 - Luo Xun and the others no longer walked through the main entrance in the corridor, and every day they came here directly to the metal gate between the two doors.
As soon as I entered this side, I felt the temperature around me rise instantly. Luo Xun has to turn on the water purification device every day to filter out clean water, and the temperature brought by heating the water can make the whole room extremely warm, turning it into a conservatory-like room.
Taking off his dirty coat and throwing it into the plastic basket next to the metal door, Luo Xun suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Yan Fei: "The floor next door has to wait until the wall is painted before installing, how about we just make a set of earth dragons?" β
In this room, the temperature can be maintained by a water filter device on the first floor, but on the second floor, an electric heater will be installed on the terrace to maintain the temperature. Although the current solar energy is enough, wouldn't it be more convenient to connect the solar water heater to the earth dragon? Even if you don't use a solar water heater to heat it, it is completely feasible to switch to other homemade electric water heaters!
He had seen this kind of thing in the base in his previous life, and he knew some of the principles roughly, but he still needed Yan Fei's metal ability to figure out how to operate it.
"Make a dragon out of a metal pipe?" Yan Fei raised his eyebrows and thought about the feasibility, "Most of the metals I use now are mixed together, if you want to make plumbing, you have to find something like stainless steel separately to come back." "His current ability can only control the metal and use it, but it can't change the essence of the metal, let alone remove and separate the materials that are mixed together. So if you want to do this kind of thing, it's better to look for similar materials separately.
Luo Xun rolled his eyes and laughed: "Today, Li Tie and the others complained that the food at home is almost exhausted, and they will go out early tomorrow morning to buy some food and come back, or let's go out together?" β
Every day at home to tinker with the house, the two arms are almost unable to lift up when they rest at night, although Luo Xun is very homely, and even if he doesn't go out of the house at all, he can hold on for a long time with all kinds of things in his house, but after staying for a long time, he still wants to go out and walk around.
Recently, a lot of people have come to the base, and you can still see the newly erected tents in the distance in the kindergarten not far away. They could go out and look around to see if there was anything they could get back into.
"Okay, then I'll go out tomorrow and come back with some things by the way." Yan Fei nodded in agreement, he was also tired of staying at home, although he could tease the little guy, feed the quails, and tease Luo Xun when he slept at night, but after all, it was not his style to never go out.
Luo Xun's house, he is not a house.
