Chapter 15: Augustine's Good Guy Card
Li Mu and Kadia inspected the second and third floors of the villa, searching for a pile of wood, some broken steel and iron sheets, a few electronic components, an old radio, half a box of cigarettes, a lighter, three intact chairs, a table, some soiled bedding, and two single beds.
"It's so good that there are so many things to finally be able to sleep in bed again." Kadia rolled on the bed excitedly, and then said, "I didn't dare to sleep too deeply at night when I was alone to survive, but now I can finally sleep well." ”
"Hey, Kadia, Lee, look at what I've found." A rough voice came from downstairs.
"Looks like Bruno is going to surprise us." Kadia said excitedly.
"I guess it's the ingredients that make the chef excited." Li Mu said noncommittally.
"Well, let's go down and have a look." Kadia easily put the half of the box of cigarettes and lighters she found into her pocket, and then came to the first floor with Li Mu.
At this time, Bruno was happily holding a piece of bacon in the kitchen on the first floor.
"It's great to have meat, I haven't smelled meat for a long time, it looks like I can have a good meal tonight." Kadia was excited to see the bacon in Bruno's hands.
Li Mu was not too excited about this, because he had just come here from a peaceful modern society, and although he knew about the shortage of materials here through the dungeon introduction, he still didn't have that kind of experience when he really faced all this.
Li Mu put the axe on the ground and rummaged through the pile of materials Bruno had collected on the ground, two small aluminum pots, a pile of cutlery, a few sprouted potatoes, some damp flour, a few bottles of spices, a stove for picnics, and a small grill. Two boxes of canned meat and one box of canned fruit, all on the ground.
Li Mu looked at these things on the ground and couldn't help but sigh at Bruno's talent, worthy of being a chef in the industry, and his sensitivity to professional appliances is not ordinary.
At this point, Bruno seemed to remember something, and he patted his head and took out a bag of ground coffee from the cupboard and handed it to Cadia. "Well, this is for you, I found it in the cupboard, I remember you said you loved coffee...... However, we are sorry that the coffee beans were not found. And the sugar cubes are gone. ”
"Oh that's okay, that's enough," Kadia happily took the bag, and then took the cigarette and lighter out of her pocket as if remembering something, "I found it from upstairs, I think you seem to like to smoke......"
"Oh God," Bruno excitedly took the cigarette, then expertly pulled out one, lit one with trembling hands, took a deep inhale, and then exhaled a faint smoke ring, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "Ah, it's unbelievable." The last time I smoked a cigarette in my memory seemed like a century ago. ”
"Don't worry, our days will get better and better, maybe it won't be long before we can live a normal life." Kadia comforted.
After smoking a cigarette, Bruno seemed to remember something, he opened the cabinet again, took out two bottles of red wine from it, and handed them to Li Mu, "I'm sorry, Li, I haven't smoked for too long just now, I'm a little too excited, this is what I found here, I remember that you like to drink, but I don't know if you like this kind of wine or not." ”
Li Mu casually took the two bottles of red wine and expressed his gratitude. He knew that this should be the identity that the game system had set for him. However, in terms of his own preference, he himself does not like this kind of wine that has a sour and astringent feeling when drunk. However, in any case, this is a piece of Bruno's heart, and it should be accepted politely no matter what.
While a few people were inspecting supplies and discussing future plans, there was a knock on the door.
Li Mu and the others suddenly fell silent. Li Mu picked up a two-handed axe from the ground, and Bruno didn't know where to pull out a kitchen knife. Only Kadia picked up a frying pan from the ground and held it in front of her.
"Is it a rebel?" Kadia asked, a little worried.
"I don't think so, they're not so polite." Bruno said as he pushed his glasses, which were a little dirty.
"Just go out and see." Li Mu said and walked towards the door.
Bruno shrugged his shoulders at Cardia and followed Li Mu's footsteps towards the foyer.
Seeing this, Kadia reluctantly followed. After all, they are a group.
The three of them cautiously walked to the door, and Li Mu glanced outside along the cat's eye on the door.
Outside the door stood a middle-aged man in a black coat, his hair was messy, it seemed that he hadn't washed it for a few days, his pants were also covered with dust, and he was holding a cardboard box in his hand, the mouth of the box was sealed, and he didn't know what was inside.
Li Mu observed for a moment and didn't feel any sense of danger from the other party's body, so he opened the door after letting Kadia hide aside to watch the situation sneak attack.
"Excuse me, is there anything you want?" Li Mu leaned his two-handed axe against the door, and his right hand was intentionally or unintentionally attached to the leg strap with the Viking flying axe. He is confident that as long as the other party has the slightest malicious action, he is confident that he can put the throwing axe on the opponent's head in a second.
"Oh, you're new neighbors, I'm Augustine, and I live in the house next door." The middle-aged man pointed to the house not far away, "I'm leaving here, but there are many books that I can't take with me." But winter is coming, and I'm afraid that someone will burn them as fuel, you know, in this case a book is not even worth a piece of moldy bread. I fear that someone will burn them as fuel in the days I am gone, so I beg you to keep these books for me, and in return I can give you two boxes of cans and a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine. ”
"That's it," Li Mu thought for a while, he had played the original text of this game copy a few times, and there would be some people in the game who would give you some supplies as a starting benefit. Although many of the game's mechanics have been modified by the system, such as no longer needing to craft a tool table, characters no longer have backpacks, health bars disappear, etc., it seems that trigger events like this that affect the subsequent development have been retained.
Moreover, according to Li Mu's observation, although the middle-aged man in front of him was dressed a little shabby, he still had a scholarly temperament, and there was no trace of an ambush person looking at the other party's posture and the surrounding situation.
Therefore, to sum up, what the middle-aged man in front of him said should be true.
Li Mu thought of this and took the box, "We can help you save this box, however, we can't guarantee that we will always live here, and you know the recent situation, we can't guarantee that we will be able to save these books until the end of the war, we can only say do our best." ”
"That's grateful." Augustine scratched his dirty hair. "I have some books to give to the other neighbors, so I won't stay here longer, good luck. You're such a nice guy. ”
"Can I retract my review?" Li Mu looked at Augustine's back, and his heart was full of helplessness.
