Chapter 7: Living in the Moment
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
"Cook."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"Of course, I haven't eaten it, come on, let's try my craft.
It's not me who blows, I think when I was in college, I participated in the strongest instant noodle competition in the whole school, and I was easily a champion!
Hey, what are you hiding behind?
What do you mean?
My noodles are delicious.
Cut.
Don't eat pull-down.
To miss out on this delicacy, I can only say that you are not in luck. ”
Seeing that the heat is almost over.
Chen Ze took the pot aside, took a pair of chopsticks and started it directly.
The soft and chewy noodles are like mysterious girls, appearing and disappearing in the fresh soup and heat, which is intriguing.
It's just an ordinary ingredient.
Seemingly shoddy cooking techniques.
Outcome.
This smell makes people's mouths water just by smelling it.
Could it be that this is the true strength of the champion of the strongest instant noodle competition in the whole school?
It is not visible.
But in reality, he has reached the legendary supreme realm.
Back to basics.
Well.
Born in the last days, this little skill is not worth mentioning.
Slightly.
When they were full of water and food, they had nothing to do.
Before the end of the world, they may hold their mobile phones, tablets, computers, or chase dramas and tear beeps, or open black and eat chicken, in short, they will have fun.
But now that there is no electricity, nothing can be done.
Chen Ze secretly regretted it.
I knew that I could get two novels during the day, and I could pass the time by reading them by the firelight.
Add ingredients to the fire.
Very bored.
Chen Zegang wanted to chat with Liu Yu and them to relieve his boredom, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Tang Cheng taking out a piece of paper from his backpack.
Take a closer look.
Ooh.
It turned out to be a math paper.
What does he want to do?
Did you burn the paper to vent the fear and anger that was once dominated by the exam?
It's naïve.
Wait, I didn't even burn the rolls.
They were all together.
What are they discussing.
They...
Oh my God, how boring are you to do the test paper in front of me.
No way.
I'm going to take a look at it too.
That's right.
If the two sides of the triangle are 6 cm and 4 cm long, and the third side is even, the perimeter is _.
Wow.
What the hell is this topic, my college student actually wouldn't.
Chen Ze shook his head vigorously.
Wrong.
It must be that this question is too tricky.
Next question.
△ABC≌△DEF, and the circumference of △ABC is 12, if AB = 3 and EF = 4, then AC = _.
Read.
Chen Ze hid his face.
Sneak back to your original position and look up at the sky as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, they didn't find themselves to solve the problem, otherwise they would have died of embarrassment.
A college student is actually stumped by a junior high school math problem, and if it is discovered, it will be a black spot that will not be erased in a lifetime.
Speaking of college, Chen Ze's eyes became dark.
Exactly four years.
He was in a daze, and he didn't know how he got here.
During his freshman year of military training, his parents divorced, leaving him a house, and then both of them left.
Really, it's even more uncomfortable than the death of both parents.
He was abandoned.
Afterwards.
The counselors and classmates took good care of him and guided him patiently.
But how can such a thing be thought of all at once?
Wait until you want to open.
Hehe.
Already graduated.
Everyone went their separate ways, and it was rare to get together.
Chen Ze realized it later, only to realize that he had not only missed the opportunity to study in the past four years, but also missed many friends worth cherishing.
I wonder how they are now?
Maybe turned into a monster, wandering aimlessly somewhere.
Perhaps, like myself, he is a survivor, looking up at the stars on such a night, reminiscing about the beautiful and irrevocable past.
He let out a long breath.
Alas.
Suddenly it became so sad.
Rise.
Shook his arm.
Chen Ze and Liu Yu said hello and went out for a walk.
Starry.
A cold breeze blows on your face.
It should have been an excellent scene for self-cultivation and qi, but Chen Ze was very confused in his heart, or confused.
World.
Mankind.
I.
Alive.
Death.
It feels so fake, so strange.
It seems that everyone and everything is separated in an invisible bubble.
This unreal feeling made his heart empty.
As if something was missing.
Is it affection?
Is it friendship?
Is it love?
Chen Ze didn't know, but he had long been used to it.
In my heart, if it's empty, it's empty.
It's a little cold when the wind blows outside, but it calms your mind and doesn't think about the mess.
Pull out a cigarette from the storage space and light it.
The world is so big, and there are so many troubles, let them go away with the smoke.
Three in a row.
Chen Ze stretched his waist and faced the starry sky.
"In the past, it was not satisfactory.
The future is unpredictable.
I.
Chen Ze.
There are no lofty ideals and aspirations, and there are no noble collective sentiments.
I don't want to do bad things, and I don't want to learn.
There is no one who loves me, and there is no one I love.
Alone.
Live in the moment. ”
Yes, living in the moment, that's his outlook on life now.
Abandoned by my parents, then I adjusted to life without my parents.
The earth has entered the apocalyptic era, so I will adapt to the life of a survivor of the end times.
The world is changing, and so am I.
Took a turn.
Back at the bonfire, Chen Ze returned to the appearance of the big brother who loves to complain.
Ah.
I said, did you all work hard like this before?
One by one, they are the same as the three good students, what's the matter, if this fire is separated by a wall, you still can't dig the wall to steal the light?
Liu Yu and the three of them rolled their eyes one after another.
Long-winded.
A few people chatted about some things again.
Assign a good alternate vigil.
Didn't sleep well.
Insomnia.
Liu Yu They are okay, after all, they have survived for a week in the last days.
Chen Ze was miserable.
It's the first time I've lived in a tent.
Monsters could break into the outside at any time, and he didn't dare to sleep to death, so he simply contracted the vigil in the second half of the night.
Stay up late.
Otaku's housekeeping skills.
In addition, the physical fitness has been greatly enhanced now, and it is not in the way.
When the sky turned white, Chen Ze did not delay and directly woke up the other three.
They are not hypocritical, and none of them will lie on the bed and refuse to get up.
Quickly clean up.
One large and three small, each carrying a backpack.
Chen Ze drives a three-wheeled motorcycle, responsible for guiding the way and transporting supplies.
Liu Yu rode bicycles in a triangular formation, guarding beside him.
The first stop is the southwestern outskirts of Anwa City, where another railway is transferred.
Then pass through the city of Jiuping, where supplies are replenished.
Finally, arrive in Yecheng and find a local survivor base, if not, you can only build a new base by yourself.
The whole journey is probably... It's about 200 kilometers.
It is expected to arrive within three days.
It's still quite cold in the morning.
Chen Ze put on the gloves he had prepared earlier, lit the fire, and set off.
The four-person squad is not fast.
The first is to save physical strength, the second is to reduce the noise of motorcycles, and third, the railway is not a road, how fast do you think it can be?
The surrounding scenery slowly recedes.
In the reflector, Chen Ze saw that the morning sun was gradually rising, red, as if it contained countless breaths of life, which made people feel more cordial.
Speaking of which.
I haven't seen a sunrise in a long time.
