Chapter 364: The Food Crisis Returns
After Chu Chen gave the order, Chang He and the others left.
Back in the cave, probably because he couldn't stand the sudden drop in temperature, Chu Chen relied on his night vision to see that most of the people were shivering and working.
After calling Fang Wei, Chu Chen instructed him: "Old Fang, everyone may be frozen, in this way, you see if there are any materials that can be burned, start a fire first, and let everyone warm up." In addition, you go to Jiang Jing and ask her to find some medicine to prevent colds, boil some hot water, and let everyone take some medicine to prevent it! ”
Fang Wei nodded and asked Chu Chen: "Okay, Boss Chu, when I left, I asked people to put all the gasoline into the oil drum, now use some leftovers to make leather clothes as fuel, can I add some gasoline to help combustion?" Also, where do you see the fire, what is the right place? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Chen pointed to the position in the middle, and Fang Wei said: "If you burn the fur, it is estimated that the black smoke is billowing out, and the smell is estimated to be not good, alas~ Let's do this first, put the fire in the middle, the man will roast the fire in the half circle outside to keep warm, and the woman will bake the fire in the half circle inside to keep warm!" ”
Fang Wei nodded again, and after responding, he turned around and went to arrange.
After a while, the raging flames burned, of course, even though the black smoke was billowing and the stench was permeating, everyone still quickly gathered around the fire a few times, no matter what Fang Wei said, they were not willing to leave.
Chu Chen also approached the fire, walked to the fire from the path that everyone got out of the way, Fang Wei smiled and said: "Old Fang, everyone is tired enough today, from having breakfast in the morning to now more than six o'clock, it has been nearly ten hours since they have eaten, in this way, I am in charge today, Aunt Miao, I will bring you some snake meat later, you cook a few pots of snake soup, everyone first go to the fire to warm up, then drink a few bowls of snake soup, and then take some medicine to prevent colds, and finally, everyone is responsible for setting up their own tents, and sleeping after setting up, Tonight, let's do it all night, and tomorrow, Lao Fang, you will make unified arrangements! What do you think? ”
After Chu Chen finished speaking, the surrounding people immediately cheered, and Fang Wei's response was also drowned out in the cheers of everyone.
Squatting beside the fire, covering his nose and roasting for a while, Chu Chen felt warm all over his body, and only then did he find Miao Chunhua and take out some of the snake meat sent by Shen Xing and them in Jiangjiu City.
This snake meat was originally arranged for storage by Fang Wei, but when he left Jiangjiu City, Fang Wei was afraid that the snake meat would rot and deteriorate, so he reminded Chu Chen and let him be included in the different dimension.
Chu Chen has always been reluctant to include bulk sea salt in the different dimension, also because he is afraid that the sea salt will be mixed with other things, after all, one or two things, Chu Chen wants to separate them in the different dimension, it is very simple, but if he wants to separate the countless sea salts, it will be a little troublesome.
After taking out the snake meat, Chu Chen did not return to the fire, although the fire drove away the chill from everyone, but it was also consuming a lot of oxygen around him!
Coming to the sewage outlet, Chu Chen stared at the huge ice block, looking a little helpless.
An emaciated figure walked out of the hole.
With the faint light emitted from the entrance of the cave, Shi Yingying asked Chu Chen, who was not far away, "Brother...?" Are you going to remove the ice? ”
Chu Chen was suddenly awakened, and after looking back, his eyes lit up: "Yingying, you just came, come and try it, see if you can control this piece of ice and find a way to get it away!" ”
Shi Yingying nodded, walked indifferently past Chu Chen, came directly to the ice cube, stretched out her right hand, and slowly stretched out the ice cube.
As Shi Yingying's right hand slowly approached, the surface of the ice quickly melted into ice water, dripping onto the ground.
Perhaps because she was afraid that the ice water would flow to Chu Chen, Shi Yingying glanced downward, then stretched out her left hand and pointed it to the ground, condensing the ice water flowing to the ground into ice.
Soon, the huge ice cube was melted by Shi Yingying into a hole that people could enter and exit.
After a while, Chu Chen saw the iron railing that Li Shijie said through the hole.
I don't know if it was the people who came before who reinforced the iron railings.
This iron railing actually directly seals the entire sewage outlet, instead of the ordinary railing about one meter high, and in the middle of the iron railing, there is a door made of iron pipe.
Seeing that there was a lock on the door, Shi Yingying aimed her right hand at the three-finger-sized lock.
Soon, the lock was covered with a layer of frost.
Taking a step back, Shi Yingying faced the frozen lock and released an ice arrow with her bare hands.
"Bang!"
After a muffled thud, the lock shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.
Opening the door, Shi Yingying continued to walk slowly outside, and at the same time, melted the ice.
A few minutes later, Chu Chen began to be surprised by the thickness of the ice cubes, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind poured in, blowing white frost on Chu Chen's face instantly, and the coat on his body was even heavier!
Chu Chen took a few steps back to the side and let go of the cold wind.
After patting his face and body, Chu Chen shouted at the mouth of the whirring and windy cave: "Yingying? If you get through, you'll be back! ”
There was no sound inside, perhaps, it was the fierce cold wind that muffled Chu Chen's voice.
It was very abrupt, and the cold wind stopped abruptly.
Just when Chu Chen felt strange, a cold wind began to emerge from the entrance of the cave again, and after it lasted for a while, the cold wind weakened a lot again!
After a while, Shi Yingying returned to Chu Chen's line of sight, and after she passed through the iron gate, she looked at the iron gate that could not be locked, and thought for a moment.
Subsequently, Shi Yingying closed the iron door, condensed a piece of cold ice directly at the original lock position, and locked the iron door.
Back in front of Chu Chen, Shi Yingying explained to Chu Chen: "Brother, I made a few corridors with ice outside, and I will check three times a day in the future, there should be no problem." ”
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this, rubbed Shi Yingying's head a few times, and found that her body was still at room temperature!
After thinking about it, Chu Chen asked Shi Yingying, "Yingying, how is the situation outside?" Can you go out and search for food? ”
Shi Yingying frowned, shook her head at Chu Chen and said, "No, except for me, no one can live for three seconds when they go out!" ”
Chu Chen secretly smacked his tongue: This time the wind and snow are probably even more terrifying than the one in Long County!
With a light sigh, Chu Chen took Shi Yingying back to the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, I don't know who hung a curtain.
After Chu Chen entered with Shi Yingying, Fang Wei trotted in front of Chu Chen.
Bending down slightly, Fang Wei pointed to the curtain and explained to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, I didn't know what was going on just now, suddenly a cold wind blew in, and the old slave asked people to hang a curtain here to prevent the cold air outside from coming in, and also to prevent the warm air from inside from coming out. ”
Chu Chen nodded slightly, didn't explain much, and returned to the fire with Shi Yingying.
At this time, a large cauldron was erected on the fire, and of course, due to the lack of fuel, the people did not raise a second bonfire.
Perhaps the fire is fierce, and the snake soup in the cauldron has begun to boil, obviously cooked.
Put a few spoonfuls of sea salt, Miao Chunhua stirred a few times, and then, she scooped a little, and after trying it, she nodded to Jiang Xin not far away.
When Jiang Xin saw it, she took Jiang Jing and gave Chu Chen, Chu Yi, and Yang Lan a bowl each.
After Chu Chen tried it, he found that this snake soup was worthy of being one of the famous dishes of China, and it was indeed delicious.
After a few sips, Chu Chen got up and smiled at everyone: "Yes, our Aunt Miao's craftsmanship, there is nothing to say, everyone can eat with confidence, tonight, this snake soup is full!" ”
With everyone's cheers, Fang Wei came to Chu Chen's side and reminded in his ear: "Boss Chu, we don't have much food, if we eat it openly, I'm afraid it will ......."
Chu Chen shook his head and squatted directly on the ground, and Fang Wei also squatted down.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of snake soup, and when everyone was quieter, Chu Chen said in a low voice: "Starting tomorrow, the food in the team will be arranged by you, but don't starve everyone!" ”
Fang Wei had a bitter face, and there were words of suffering.
Chu Chen glanced at him, felt a little funny, and comforted him: "Don't be bitter, if we can find a stable source of food, we won't lack this bit of food, if we can't find it, hehe, no matter what, we will all be trapped here, and it is useless to leave this extra bit of food." ”
Between Fang Wei's eyebrows, he wrinkled into the word 'Chuan', and sighed heavily: "Alas~! ”
Chu Chen shook his head, and his tone was a little heavier: "What are you sighing, everyone is freezing today, and you haven't replenished your energy, if you fall ill tomorrow, what should you do?" ”
Fang Wei was helpless, nodded and left quietly.
