Chapter 19: Recuperation
This night, everyone slept peacefully, without superfluous movements, and snored after lying down.
The next morning, Carl woke up, got up from the futon on the floor, and habitually looked around.
"Huh? Was I the first to get up? Karl was surprised, according to common sense, they only slept for four hours, but he was about four hours and forty-five minutes, so he should have gotten up earlier than him.
But today there is something unusual.
"Looks like they're really tired!" He sighed. If you want to survive, you have to pay for rest, and sure enough, everything in the world is an equivalent exchange, and all the peace is earned back by everyone's desperate efforts.
"By the way, I'll have to wake them up later, and they can't sleep for more than five hours. But come to think of it, they also have their own strings. Carl thought to himself.
Early in the morning there was nothing to do, so Carl took two pieces of bread, squeezed some jam on them, and sandwiched them together, and it was a breakfast.
For Carl, he can only feel satisfied when he eats, training and surviving every day, not only for three meals a day, but also for the hope of meeting that childhood friend in the future.
Like ordinary people, he doesn't ask for much, just live a good life.
Swallowing the last loaf of bread into his mouth, Carl wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and everyone woke up from their slumber and were surprised to see Carl sitting at the table eating.
"This kid actually got up earlier than me?" Constance yawned and stretched his lumbar spine, the muscles of his body as explosive as ever.
"It's not that he got up early, it's that we're late." Ji Si said helplessly. She tied her long, loose hair back up and headed to the bathroom.
Her hair was so oily that she had to brush it up.
"Going to bed early and waking up early is good for your body." Rosa smiled and said, "Mr. Karl set a good example for us today. ”
"No, no......" Carl stammered. He knew he had just hit shit luck today.
After a while, Ji Si came out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her head, pointed at Carl, and said, "I'm going to add five laps today." ”
"You go up first, I'll come later." She added.
"Why add five laps?" Karl asked, puzzled.
Ji Si shook her head and sighed, "Because the stronghold lost a member of the group last night, so it is in urgent need of new blood replenishment, I can only speed up your course and training progress as much as possible within your ability." ”
"Otherwise, without a single member, the speed of material search will drop dramatically, and the crisis response ability of various teams will also deteriorate, and more importantly, the stronghold can no longer lose anyone."
Carl was also a little embarrassed, he had been enjoying everything in the stronghold, but he had only saved them once in so many days, and there was nothing else to contribute.
It was as if everyone was for him, and it seemed that he didn't want to be a wreck, so he had to work harder, Carl said secretly in his heart.
"I can understand."
"If only you understood." Ji Si breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was not one of those survivors who ate and waited to die, and he was not taken in in vain.
……
"Keep your waist straight, don't hang your head, keep running!"
A 1.8-meter-old young man is sweating and running, while another little Lori is pointing and correcting mistakes.
"Gaga...... Ga...... "Kar......l was almost so tired that he stuck out his tongue and couldn't keep his eyes open, not to mention the sweat on his head that rained down.
He felt like smoke was rising above his head, like a steamer, as if it was going to explode at any moment.
"Don't get distracted, breathe with your nose and mouth, and try to focus." Ji Si shouted with a wave of her command hand.
"Spell !!" Karl gritted his teeth, his legs running again, running around the rooftop.
43 laps
44 laps
45 laps
"I've finally finished the day's workout." Karl fell to his knees and poured water into his mouth.
Grunt......
Grunt......
Mutter......
Ga!
"Comfortable......" Carl laughed and wiped his face with a towel, because he had just finished exercising and was now feverish. Being able to drink water is as refreshing as dead wood in spring.
"Well, the performance is not bad, today you are free, tomorrow continues." Kiss jumped from the water-filled building on the rooftop and walked towards the staircase.
After she left, Carl rested in a chair, wearing sunglasses, much like an underworld boss.
The bronzed skin and the muscles that were forming made Carl proud, but the bruise on his right shoulder spoiled his mood a little.
"Alas......" he sighed, the wound had been diagnosed by Rosa, and it was a slight fracture. It is believed that it was caused by the use of improper posture to fire the sniper rifle several times in a short period of time.
It's fine, but it's still a little painful.
But it's worth it, not to mention that I have more courage, and my cooperation with them has also improved a lot. At least now I won't be terrified at the sight of a dark shadow, and I'll learn how to deal with and run away.
Now he's a little bored, basically the day's training is done, there's nothing to do, he wants to get out of the Harris Building and go out for a walk around the city.
But it's still quite dangerous to think about, although he won't get lost, but who knows what unspeakable situation will suddenly appear. Therefore, he still suppressed his imminent curiosity.
"Hey, what is this?" Karl touched his cheek, which was suddenly wet.
"Water?" He frowned.
Before he could finish saying "How could there be a ...... all of a sudden?" the sky quickly darkened, as if the end had come.
Bang......
Sand......
Sand......
Sand......
"It's raining." Karl shouted in surprise.
Carl was caught off guard by the sudden turn for the worse weather, so he hurriedly packed his things and crawled down.
However, he was still a step slower, and his whole body was soaked in the rain.
Back at the stronghold, everyone looked at Carl with strange eyes, and Konstan touched his chin and looked Carl up and down, "Boy, have you suffered any blow in your life?" ”
"I'm not...... Ahem. Karl said embarrassedly, "I'm wet from the rain." ”
"Rain?"
"Just look out the window." Karl pointed to the window.
Everyone turned around, and the glass window was indeed stained with a lot of raindrops, although it was a little blurry, but they could still vaguely see the violent wind and rain.
Constan, Kiss, and Rosa glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's faces sank.
"Kuroshio...... Is it coming again? Kiss muttered.
"It's coming again......" Constan's face had been dark since the beginning.
Carl watched in amazement as this happened, and although he wanted to know what Kuroshio was right away, he chose not to interrupt their conversation.
