Zheng Rui still remembers listening to Professor Jin Yinan's lecture during his freshman military training, and said at that time: "There are two victories against opponents, and the first time is in the heart." ”

This sentence was also written on the title page of Professor Jin Yinan's new book at that time, although Zheng Rui had never read the book — and now she regretted a little why she didn't read it in the first place. No, she now regrets why she didn't listen to the military theory class well, although it was mainly about modern warfare, and it is estimated that it is useless now, but at least after listening to it, she may have more confidence in her heart.

The first time she killed the alien, she was completely unprepared, but after killing the first time, she was already very confident the second time.

But it's not the same as fighting with people.

Aliens don't have thoughts, people do. Fighting with aliens, winning is winning, and she won't die anyway after losing, aliens can't always catch her and gnaw, and there will be a chance to escape in the future. However, as an immortal type, if you lose the fight with the enemy, it is equivalent to being permanently imprisoned, plus giving the enemy an infinite health canister, which will have a greater impact on your teammates.

So she felt that as long as there was no guarantee of 100% victory, she must not do it lightly.

But now it seems likely that conflict will be inevitable. So...... What should she do in the event of a conflict?

-- It is necessary to carry out psychological construction first and be psychologically prepared at all times.

Zheng Rui felt that she needed a political commissar, maybe a political commissar like Zhang Beihai.

But this time it may still be ...... Don't?

Zheng Rui also thought that it takes time to organize actions. When the other party is not organized, she can go to the vegetable field to collect a wave first. After all, she is only a dozen meters away from the vegetable patch, and the other party has to cross almost a neighborhood plus a road and the sidewalks on both sides to get here. It's her home fight, and she should have the advantage.

Zheng Rui immediately ran to the counter, took off the bag with gadgets hanging on the side of the counter, and ran straight out.

"Xiao Rui!" Bian Na didn't react, and chased her out when she saw her running out, "I'll go with you!" ”

"It's okay, let's hurry, they're too late." Zheng Rui looked back at her, "Take a bag, let's make a quick decision, just take the big chunk." ”

——

Zheng Rui and Bian Na had just brought back the bag full of fruits and vegetables when they saw someone sneaking over from the opposite side at the entrance of the steps.

"Liu Haojia, that grandson ......" Bian Na whispered through gritted teeth, "Is it him you saw just now?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Rui leaned next to her and nodded, "The rest of them are the ones you lived in the basement before?" ”

"Not exactly." Ben Na whispered to her, "The one in black on the right is the one I said to be the poison attack type...... The one who picks the beans is in a basement of Building 3, I don't know what type it is, but he has a good relationship with the boss of Building 3......"

"Look down—he's looking this way." Zheng Rui shrank her head back from the ground.

Bian Na also shrank up the moment the other party looked at her, but muttered a little apprehensively: "They ...... Won't you come? ”

"Probably not." Zheng Rui analyzed in a low voice, "They should be a little taboo about us, so they just stole things from the public area and haven't gone directly to the basement." As long as the two sides don't meet this time, there should be no fighting. ”

They quietly returned to the commissary with fruits and vegetables.

After stepping into her "stronghold", Bian Na relaxed a little, and said to Zheng Rui: "Actually, we are not afraid of them, Xiao Rui, you are so strong, I don't feel weak now - this is really thanks to you, I didn't know that my broken ability could be used as a 'laser' gun." ”

"Well, without me, you should find out on your own soon." Zheng Rui smiled and took out a kale from her pocket, "Sister Na, let's eat something good today - these dishes won't last long anyway." ”

In the dark, Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong also quietly came over and looked at the fresh vegetables and fruits in the bags in their hands.

In fact, there are edible fruits such as begonias and hawthorns in the green belt of the opposite community, and they are not very short of soluble vitamins, but begonia hawthorn and grape tomatoes are still incomparable. On the way here, the two of them also found that vegetables were grown in the "flower bed" in front of them, but in order to be able to "form an alliance", they still endured not going to eat directly, and now they can finally eat it "legally", which is obviously a happy thing.

"What is this?" Zuo Youcheng's eyes were glued to the kale, "Big guy, I've never eaten it, can you give me a piece for me to taste?" Please~"

"Classmate, can we make a little difference?" Zheng Rui checked the cruciferous vegetables in his hand and said helplessly, "These things will break quickly when they are picked, so everyone must have a share." ”

She saw this as a good opportunity to show common interests and strengthen alliances, so she immediately said, "We're friends after all...... In this special period, friends have to share weal and woe, and as long as I don't starve to death, I will definitely have a friend to eat. ”

"Applause!" Zuo Youcheng applauded cooperatively, and Fang Tong also patted twice, which made Zheng Rui feel a little embarrassed.

Zheng Rui pretended to be an old cadre and coughed lightly twice, and asked Bian Na, "So...... Sister Na, how do we eat these things? ”

Bian Na is also a person who once left home alone to study in the city, and her self-care ability is much stronger than Zheng Rui, who has to live at her grandfather's house during the summer vacation. She quickly figured out how to combine these fruits and vegetables with the convenience foods she already had — grapes could be eaten as is, tomatoes and lettuce would be added to instant noodles, kale and garlic would be made into garlic kale, and the soup with instant noodles would be two dishes and one soup.

It's a little improvised, but even in the last days, life has to be a bit ritualistic.

What's more, today is the first day of the alliance, and it is worth commemorating.

After two dishes, one soup and after-dinner fruits were placed on the "table" made of empty boxes, Bian Na, as the cutest young lady, sandwiched chopsticks instant noodles with half a tomato and two slices of lettuce in each of the plastic cups of the four people, and shared the soup in the pot with everyone.

"Come, I wish us a happy alliance!" Zuo Youcheng thought first and raised the instant noodle cup to the center.

The other three also raised their glasses, and the four plastic cups touched each other in pairs in the air, completing the humble celebration.

Zheng Rui took a sip of the instant noodle soup in the cup, and for a moment it seemed that she really felt the sense of mutual trust that permeated the air. However, it is also possible that it is just because of the ritual itself, or the illusion that the instant noodles are too fragrant.

However, this did not affect her and Benna's ability to share the same pot of food with the two new boys - human sociality is actually a kind of thing imprinted in instinct.
