DAY 21 Unexpected strikes
When we came out of the laboratory, we were dressed in a white coat with a tube of deadly germs in our hands.
"Let's go, let's negotiate." I took a deep breath and prepared to go.
"Wait, aren't you hungry? It's past noon, and I haven't eaten since last night. "Crush looked at me a little embarrassed.
"My brother and I ate compressed biscuits on the way here. But is there a place to provide food in the school? I was a little surprised, "I thought the facilities in the school were completely out of service." β
"No, there will be further riots if food is not provided, so the relevant personnel on the government side will still distribute food and drinks regularly. However, the amount of food has been getting smaller and smaller recently, and since Professor Xu left, I don't know if there is something in it, and every time I eat it, my hands and feet are weak and my brain is dizzy. I guess it was so that we didn't have the strength to escape, so we put a small amount of anesthetic or something. "Spread your hands in pieces. But what can be done? Other than that, they have no other food source.
I pondered for a moment, "Then it would be very bad to eat that kind of food and go to negotiation." "The situation outside is not optimistic, and it is estimated that the government has allocated fewer and fewer supplies...... "We must find other food for you to eat."
"For example? Small supermarkets and fruit shops have long been hollowed out. Shredded pouted.
"Hmm...... Do you remember the pile of potted plants that were planted on the balcony of our dormitory...... Is there such a pot of purple potatoes that left it to fend for itself? β
In fact, the people in our dormitory are very uninteresting and impatient.
In order to beautify the dormitory and improve the strength of women, we raised bonsai very much with the crowd. But generally choose plants that are easy to feed, such as cacti, the most common watermelon seeds, or something. And we don't dislike the appearance, all of them are treated equally, and the kind that can generally eat the leftover ones is the most favored by us.
That pot of sweet potatoes was when I saw the introduction of sweet potato planting methods on the Internet, and I wanted to try the taste of sweet potatoes grown by myself, so I left one of the purple potatoes that I bought back and wanted to steam for dinner, and cut them into pieces and buried them in one of the pots.
But then I didn't pay much attention to it.
After that it really seems to have thrived on its own. I don't think the purple potatoes that I planted with such dedication should not grow much, so I can't bear to eat them, so I only occasionally pinch a few purple potato leaves and fry them to add vegetables.
As a result, this is when it actually came in handy.
We decided to go back to the dormitory. The dormitory area is on the South Campus, which is also very convenient anyway.
This time, I didn't even run into anyone along the way. We went back to the dormitory building, which was empty and eerily quiet.
The elevator is still in operation. But we were afraid that at this time, if something broke down in the elevator and blocked us inside, no one would come to save us, and we didn't know where to cry, so we decided to climb the stairs.
But...... Our dormitory is on the 11th floor. The building is only 12 floors high.
I looked at the high roof, and I felt my heart suddenly become very heavy. The last time I just climbed the stairs to go back to the dormitory was during my innocent freshman year. At that time, I didn't care about squeezing the elevator with people, I felt that I was young and strong, and it was good for my body to climb the stairs more and lose weight. But after climbing once, I immediately ran back to wait in line with people in frustration.
"Are you sure that the physical strength we spent climbing the stairs can be replenished with the purple potatoes on it?" My brother said coldly, in exchange for a roll of my eyes.
"Why don't you take the elevator? Although I haven't been back to my dormitory for a long time, the operation of these infrastructures seems to be quite secure. Shattered reluctantly kept looking back at the elevator.
I waved my hand tragically: "Let's ...... Let's experiment. β
When the elevator came, we childishly rushed in and pressed the floor button and immediately ran out to see it slowly close and then go up one floor at a time. The younger brother stood aside and couldn't help but complain: "The last time I played like this, it was when I was in the second grade of elementary school. β
I ignored him, leaving him with a cold back of his head.
As a result, it came back from the eleventh floor without any problems.
We decided to take a gamble. We got into the elevator.
With our incessant prayers, the elevator came to the eleventh floor again.
So we drifted back to the dormitory like a dream.
Shatter took out the key and opened the dormitory door, God bless the bonsai are still there. At a glance, I saw the familiar green on the balcony, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Which is purple potato?" The younger brother looked at the plants, which had to be distinguished by their leaves.
"Right hand up the second." I put down the backpack on my back and walked over, "Its leaves can be eaten, come, help me loosen the soil." β
My brother and I started digging in one direction, and the crumbs tested the water and started boiling the water. "Actually, we'd better hurry, it's not safe here, sometimes the infected person is too stuffy in the library, and sometimes he will come here." She couldn't help but remind us.
"It's okay, he'll negotiate directly here when he comes." I didn't raise my head, the basin was not that big, and the two of them quickly dug up the purple potato. "It's so small, and I don't have a sense of accomplishment at all." The younger brother shook his head, disappointed.
"You didn't grow it in the first place." I gave him a roll of the eyes, pinched the rhizome, and handed it to him, "Oh, take it and wash it, I'll wash the leaves." β
"Do we need to keep another one for seeding?" Shattered asked.
I looked at the little bit of fruit, and finally shook my head: "No, I can't eat enough to eat like this, and I can't grow much more." β
So I boiled the water, put on a steaming tray again, and put the purple potatoes that had become smaller after washing the clods on my body on the steaming tray. The small steaming tray is not satisfied, and it looks a little pitiful.
"You can eat it, my brother and I have both eaten." I sat in my chair and looked at the shattering.
"No, it's been a long time, and it's time to digest it. This is still planted by you, and if you don't eat it, I won't eat it. Shattered shook his head, very insistent.
"But it's really only enough for one person. When the negotiations are over, if they are successful, we will still have safe food to eat in the car; If that fails, eating those foods that contain narcotics won't make a difference. Now we have to make sure that you have the physical strength to go with us to complete the negotiations. The younger brother also sat down and persuaded the shattered.
"Okay...... Glutinous rice, brother glutinous rice, you are so good to me. Shatter seemed a little moved, and there was some small light in his eyes.
"Hey, why are you so sensational all of a sudden, I haven't had time to thank you for giving me such a valuable medicine. You see I've earned it, so a few broken purple potatoes can be exchanged for a bottle of such a bullish medicine, if only I could make a few more friends like you, it's worth it. "I was a little embarrassed, so I started to deliberately joke and tease her in order to change the atmosphere.
"Hahaha." She touched her tears, laughed, and sniffed her nose twice.
Crush is actually quite a slender person. For some reason, looking at the way she is now, I really want to protect her.
When the purple potatoes are cooked, they grab the purple potatoes with broken hands and eat them. I helped her use the boiling water to catch sweet potato leaves, and at the same time told her all kinds of jokes to make her happy. At this time, there was a sudden heavy "knock, knock" sound outside, and the floor was faintly shaking, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"Oh no, it's 'him', it's 'him' coming!!" Crushed still had a bite of purple potatoes in his mouth, and when he heard this voice, his face immediately changed, and he looked at me in a panic with his mouth open.
My brother and I instantly understood what she meantβit was the rampaging infected!!
