Chapter 73: The Long Night (5) (3rd Update))
"I don't know if there's anything useful to us in this iron cabinet." Packed peaches in canned food for the other two and ate the rest in the pot herself, Su Ruoying ate the rest and set her eyes on the iron cabinet that they couldn't open.
"Enough!" Unexpectedly, Carl, who had been with a gloomy face and did not speak, suddenly became angry at this time.
He stood up and pointed to the glass that had been smashed by Luo Fei before and said, "Are we really robbers?" If Luo Fei's behavior of smashing the glass into the house just now didn't want everyone to freeze outside until dawn, even if we ate his canned yellow peaches without the permission of the owner of the house, we could barely find a reason to excuse ourselves, but now you actually want to destroy the owner's locked cabinet? Even if our future is really uncertain now, can we really not leave any human nature behind? β
Both of them were frightened by Carl's sudden anger, and Su Ruoying even dropped the pot in her hand because of a sudden mistake. Half a yellow peach rolled out of the pot, staining the floor with a lot of dust.
"You say I'm inhuman?" Su Ruoying, who has always yelled at others, immediately stood up and fought back after a short period of shock: "Who told me to be gentle when knocking on the door before, and to be cautious in this empty room where no one is around?" Who was the one who showed dissatisfaction with a gloomy face after entering the house, but ate the canned yellow peaches we cooked with "inhumane" means with peace of mind? Is it really wrong for me to fight this iron cabinet? Who knows if the contents of this cabinet will save our lives in the future? β
The angry Su Ruoying continued to counterattack Carl with rhetorical questions, but he didn't expect Carl to be a hard bone, he directly put on his backpack, lit the originally extinguished torch with the stove and walked towards the door, saying very angrily as he walked: "I really can't stay with people like you, take care of yourself!" After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without looking back.
"Don't go, Carl!" Luo Fei immediately chased after him and tried to keep him.
Carl stopped after leaving the door, turned back sadly and tried to say something to Luo Fei.
"Let him go, Luo Fei!" Su Ruoying, who was still angry, shouted to Luo Fei behind her: "A person who is so pedantic still claims to be an expert in wild survival, such an expert should let him survive by himself!" β
Luo Fei saw that the expression on Carl's face changed from sadness to anger again, this time he didn't speak again, just nodded to Luo Fei and turned around and left immediately without saying a word.
"Carl." Seeing Carl himself slowly disappearing into the night along the road south, Luo Fei was very reluctant to whisper these two words, and sighed helplessly and returned to the house and closed the door.
"Do you think I'm doing something wrong?" After all, it was the loss of an NPC that might be helpful to the two of them, and Su Ruoying also turned from anger to depression at this time after Carl left. When she saw Luo Fei return to the house, she immediately opened her mouth to ask him, trying to get a little recognition from him.
"I don't know right now." Luo Fei's mind was also a little messy at this time, he picked up half of the yellow peach that had just rolled to the floor, went to the bucket to get some water to wash it and handed it to Su Ruoying: "Let's eat something more!" β

For the rest of the night, Su Ruoying, who was obsessively looking for something to destroy the iron cabinet, finally found a crowbar under the bed!
During this period, Luo Fei used a canned food box to boil some water for the two, although the canned yellow peach was only enough for the two to raise the full food value to about 80, but fortunately, the thirst value recovered to 100, which also made the two more calm than before.
"I still think that Carl's resolute refusal to let us move the iron cabinet will definitely have something to do with the next development of the script." Just when Su Ruoying motioned for Luo Fei to pry the cabinet with a crowbar, Luo Fei said with some worry while comparing how to pry better.
"He's actually just afraid that the owner of the house won't be able to explain it!" Su Ruoying still said indifferently: "You also saw his performance outside the house before, we didn't listen to him at the time, so we got canned food and water that can be restored." Now he won't let us pry the cabinet, but don't you think that the crowbar can be found under the bed, which is some kind of hint from the system to us? β
"Okay!" Although playing this game, Su Ruoying kept saying that she would let him take her, but in the real world, Luo Fei had been Su Ruoying's subordinate for a long time, so when facing Su Ruoying's very resolute request. Luo Fei was still a little used to it, and he didn't want to refuse.

With Luo Fei's unremitting efforts, it took about five minutes for him to completely pry open the iron cabinet.
The iron cabinet is divided into two layers, the upper floor is lower, and there are four cans of canned beef inside!
"I'll just say I'm right!" As soon as Su Ruoying saw the can, she immediately became happy.
She took one out and weighed it in her hand, and said with some relief, "If we find that NPC starving on the side of the road tomorrow, I wouldn't mind using this can to save that stupid guy's life, and let him know that people can't be inflexible in all situations!"
Luo Fei continued to look at the floor below by the light of the stove, but there was a metal axe that could be used to chop trees, and two small boxes that I didn't know what they contained.
"Look, now we even have axes to chop wood in the wild! That stingy captain refused to give us a handful, I didn't expect to get it here!! β
Su Ruoying was even happier when she saw the axe, and at this time, Luo Fei squatted down and took out a small box to open it, and he was immediately stunned when he saw what was inside!
"What's inside?" Su Ruoying, who was standing behind him, asked him.
"Like, shotgun bullets?" Luo Fei handed the small box to Su Ruoying and said with some surprise.
"It's a shotgun bullet, this length won't be a pistol." Su Ruoying put the small box containing 10 shotgun bullets on the table behind her, unlike Luo Fei, who was a little worried, but showed a very expectant expression: "Could it be that there is still a shotgun hidden in this room?" β
As she spoke, Su Ruoying immediately launched an operation to search for a shotgun.
"Probably not!" The two had searched every corner of the house before, and Su Ruoying had just found that under the bed of the crowbar was the last place where she could hide something.
But Su Ruoying still wanted to look under the bed again, this time it was Luo Fei lying on the floor and looking inside, Su Ruoying removed a branch from the torch and lit a fire to illuminate him, so as not to light the bed with too much torch fire.
Under the fully lit bed, there is nothing left.
Su Ruoying stood up with Luo Fei with some disappointment, and asked strangely, "Why don't there be shotguns in this room, but there are so many shotgun bullets in the iron cabinet?" β
She already realized something after saying this, and Luo Fei also expressed his speculation: "That means that the shotgun was taken away by the owner of this house, and we are likely to meet him on the way back here!" β
