30. Care
Hao Dong's situation is obviously not conducive to their death in the next few hours, and they have no way to communicate with the outside world now, so they can only wait for the queen and Ergou to find out the problem and then rush over. However, according to the volume of this cold storage, this is estimated to be a mobile cold storage, that is, even if the queen arrives, they may not be able to find them in the original place. And if you want to cast a net to find it, you will definitely have to delay in time.
Qi is still sure of his own physique, the cold storage should fully reach the set refrigeration temperature, and the time spent in the middle is not necessarily, but overall according to the current cooling speed, it can be inferred that at least two or three hours should still be needed. What's more, if it just drops to zero degrees, it is basically useless for him, so if the other party is really prepared, at least he will consider minus fifty or sixty degrees, or even below minus one hundred degrees, then the time will need more.
So in fact, he has already begun to think that the other party's purpose should not be to kill them immediately, because if it is just him, even if there is really no way to escape by himself, it is still possible to wait for the queen and them to come to the rescue. After all, they have already found out that they are gone, and they will not be so stupid to go straight through, and if necessary, they will directly use the method of alarming the army outside, using the power of the military to search. That would be a lot quicker β and of course more cumbersome.
However, Hao Dong's situation is not easy to say, this child is too thin, and his complexion is not very good. Obviously, they eat the same things as them, and almost every meal is big fish and meat, but when it comes to him, it seems that everything is useless, not to mention that people are not much stronger, and the blood on their faces has not increased much. It's like a rectum, and when you turn around and excrete it after eating it, you can't keep it at all.
For the next few hours, unless he found a way to escape this place immediately, he could only resist. When the temperature drops to an extremely low level, he feels that he is not sure whether this child can hold on.
Hao Dong noticed Qi Jue's gaze, behind the flashlight, there was obviously the brim of the hat to obscure it, but he could see those eyes as bright as stars, and the emotion in his eyes was a little regret, as well as some worry. So he suddenly understood that he had probably become a burden again at this time.
In fact, he should have complained at this time, it was not he who wanted to come here, it was Qi Jue who took the initiative to bring him. He was supposed to act with the queen and the others, and the safety factor would have been much higher. But Qi Jue not only acted on his own, but also dragged him in. This responsibility is definitely on Qi Jue.
But he didn't, he just felt a kind of inferiority at this time, close to self-loathing.
If they weren't so useless, maybe they wouldn't be in such a situation now. After all, he was following Qi Jue just now, if he could be more vigilant and find the people outside the cold storage earlier, the situation might be completely different at this time.
Even if he can't warn in advance, then at least his physical fitness is better, such as that door, Qi Jue can't open it alone, but if he also has his strength, two people work hard, maybe they can open it.
But the truth is that he couldn't do anything in the end, he could only watch them fall into trouble, and then watch Qi Jue work hard in the predicament alone, and finally became a burden that Qi Jue needed to worry about.
This strong feeling of inferiority reached its highest point at the moment he saw Qi Jue's worried eyes, making his face more and more pale.
In his understanding, Qi Jue is a completely cold-faced god, this is not to say that he has a straight face all the year round, but that his mood fluctuations are not too obvious for anything. He laughs, he suffers, and he laughs at certain things, but these emotions are so faint that he doesn't notice them if he doesn't pay attention. But now that the worry in the other party's eyes was so obvious, Hao Dong didn't feel flattered, he only felt that maybe the trouble he had brought to Qi Jue right now was bigger than the trouble here itself.
"Little Qi Ye ......"
Unable to withstand the pressure generated in this atmosphere, Hao Dong finally opened his mouth first. The throat is dry and the voice is astringent. The voice between a teenager and a young man has a unique warmth, and he opens his mouth gently, but he can't express his voice clearly because of the thirst of his throat, and the second half has a little cracked trill.
Qi Jue never felt that he was a person with a flood of compassion, in fact, he wouldn't even look at the kittens drenched in the heavy rain on the side of the road. He was taught that he was not suitable for survival, so dying early is a relief for the unfit themselves and the people around them.
Therefore, Hao Dong's previous state only made him worry that it would hinder his actions, especially if something happened to Hao Dong, it would be detrimental to the entire expedition. However, this trembling little Qi Ye made him feel as if something was on the tip of his heart, which was not very obvious, but the feeling of worrying about the other party was real.
Qi Jue's brow furrowed a little tighter, if it was a girl on the other side, he might know more exactly what this feeling wasβalthough he hadn't had the opportunity to experience that for the time being. But the other side is just a weak boy, pale and thin, the kind of little boy he doesn't care about the most. He really didn't understand why the same sex could give him the feeling that he wanted to take care of the other person, after all, in his opinion, timid and powerless men were more useless than women and should be eliminated.
But now there is no time for him to think more about this kind of emotional question, it is too delicate, and when he figures it out here, maybe they will all freeze, and they can only stand here in their current position, unable to move again.
No matter what incomprehensible feelings the other party brings to him, in one sentence, he can't let this big boy have an accident here, both in public and private. This may not be easy to do under the premise that the situation outside is unknown, but it is not completely impossible, in short, he can only try his best to give this guy the shelter he can at the moment, and reduce the time he needs to rely on his own quality to resist to a minimum.
Thinking of this, he remembered something that he had overlooked: "Haven't you had dinner yet?" β
Hao Dong was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to stare at him for so long, but the last thing he asked was this, but he was indeed brought out by Qi Jue before he had time to eat dinner. What does it mean to not eat? This means that when the body needs calories, there is no nourishment in the stomach to provide the nutrients necessary to replenish the calories.
This is obviously quite bad at the moment, so Hao Dong nodded honestly. At this time, he fully believed that the more the situation that Xiao Qi Ye mastered, the more beneficial it would definitely be to their current situation, and he couldn't take care of self-esteem and the like.
Seeing him nod, Qi Jue took off the big bag on his back, put it on the ground, turned on the flashlight for a while, and then handed over two boxes to Hao Dong: "Eat one box first." Four hours later no one came, and another box was eaten. β
Qi Jue's actions were not expected by Hao Dong at all, which made him stunned again. But the other man's hand kept up, holding a small box, and there was one on top of this box, and he was just stretched out and waiting for him to take it. This time, Hao Dong quickly came back to his senses, took the box into his hand, and saw that it was two boxes of rice that could be self-heating.
This kind of thing was all the rage for a while, and it had a place in one of his few past memories related to cooking, but the reviews were terrible, it was a taste that would definitely make you eat it once and never want to think about it again.
I didn't expect Qi Jue to have fresh ones in his hands, and I don't know where I got them. Anyway, the major supermarkets in China are not very likely to see this thing, even if it is a chain store such as 7-11, it sells more ordinary lunches, and there is a microwave oven in the store to help heat it, and the taste of the rice that comes out is much better than this one.
But he didn't have to pick now, and this place was completely closed, so it was definitely impossible for him to have a microwave oven for him, but this kind of rice that he could heat himself was very suitable for such an environment, at least he could eat a mouthful of hot food.
Now is not the time to be hypocritical, Hao Dong sat down, tore open a box of wrapping paper, put the lunch box on the ground, took out the small plastic box containing the rice, folded the water bag and the heating bag, and then put the small plastic box back in place and covered it. I touched the edge of the outside of the big lunch box, found the pull buckle on it, and with the hissing sound of the chemical reaction, the whole box quickly became hot.
Small Theatre:
γAbout Lunch Boxγ
After escaping the predicament, Hao Dong became interested in the self-heating rice he had eaten in the freezer, and with his chef's instinct, there was something that could be improved at all costs.
Then they had a little free time, so he decided to do it himself.
His teammates have very different opinions about this.
Queen: "I still approve of your cooking skills, and if you have to pay for it yourself, I'm fine." But we can't delay our plans. β
Hao Dong: "Oh good. "It's a big deal to do more while you're resting, but then you have to think about keeping it fresh.
Ergou: "Are you going to rob me of the logistics task?" I won't appreciate it, and I won't reimburse you! But if you want to try it, you can come to me. β
Hao Dong: "............ Good. "I know that foodies can't be trusted!
Qi Jue: "Follow me." β
Hao Dong: "Huh? β
The brand-new large kitchen, with all the utensils, flashed brightly and blinded Hao Dong's eyes: "Wow! β
Qi Jue: "Are these things enough?" β
Hao Dong: "Enough! That's enough! β
Qi Jue: "Write down any materials you want, and order fresh ones to use at any time." β
Hao Dong: "Oh good......"
Qi Jue: "You don't have to worry about the work of keeping fresh and encapsulating heating materials, someone will do it." β
Hao Dong: "Well, I know......"
Qi Jue: "Are you still satisfied?" β
Hao Dong (stunned): "Satisfied." β
Qi Jue (smile): "It's good if you're satisfied." β
The younger brothers of the Qi family next door cried: Could it be that this head of the family is also controlled by his wife!
