"Miss You, aren't you with us?" Ximan walked over, with obvious disappointment and worry on the boy's face.

She glanced at Fang Zichen and Xiaolu who were rushing here in the distance, took out a baseball cap from her backpack and put it on, lowering the brim of the hat to cover half of her face: "No, there are too many people here, I'll go to the north of the mountain to see

look."

"But if we live together, we can take care of each other—"

Ximan wanted to say something else, but Lin Wu patted him on the shoulder. He glanced at Fang Zichen in the distance, and then looked at You Xi: "We are all arranged to be in the same hotel for the time being. If you have anything, you can come and see me.

us."

"Thank you." She felt that Lin Wu might have misunderstood something, but this misunderstanding could explain why she wanted to live separately from them, which she thought was good.

Yuan Qi held her son in one hand and a large travel bag in the other, watching You Xi leave.

Yuan Ning covered the wound and sighed: "Let's go."

It took You Xi almost forty minutes to reach the north part of the mountain. At first there were many people on both sides, but after crossing two mountain roads, the number of people became less and less.

Now is the early stage of the disaster. Although everyone is panicking, the order is still not disordered. Some people who saw her carrying a bag alone and carrying a large travel bag did not show any strange eyes, at most they only glanced at her.

After crossing the mountain road, we found another flat terrain with well-maintained roads and smooth brick surfaces. There were some small buildings appearing on both sides, most of which were around five or six stories high, but there were also seven or eight-story apartment buildings.

She found a small B&B building facing north and close to the cliff. The location of this building was a little bit off, but because it was on the edge of the cliff, several north-facing rooms had balconies, so they could see the scenery in the distance.

Originally this was a sea view room, but after the tsunami the city was flooded up to the fourth floor. Now everywhere you look you can see a gray-black ocean with floating garbage. Slightly taller buildings stand here and there, like a vast ocean.

of isolated islands.

People with poor psychological quality cannot see such a scene, so the rooms facing north are mostly empty. You Xi wants to check the situation outside at all times, so the location of this room is very convenient.

She went in and inquired. The B&B was still in business and the prices had not increased, but breakfast and ordering services were gone. The island's manufacturing industry was weak. Most of the daily necessities were delivered by ship. Now there is no purchase channel.

, the few stocks must be kept for your own use.

The B&B was cheap, so she paid for five days and got the westmost room on the fifth floor.

The room is not as clean and tidy as a hotel, but the place is not small. The interior is about 40 square meters, with a wood-colored interior. There is a bathroom on the left side of the entrance, a simple tea bar on the right side, and a bed, wardrobe, and sofa after entering.

The terrace has floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. The terrace space is quite large, with a round table and two chairs. Because this room is on the westernmost side, the view is very good, and you can clearly see both the west and north directions.

The room has water and electricity, but they are open only for a limited time, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., for a total of two hours. The water flow is very thin, only a quarter of the normal period, but this is enough.

After locking the door, she took off her shoes, lay on the bed, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, You Xi got up after taking a nap for an hour, washed her hands and face with hot water stored in the Star House warehouse, wiped herself and changed into a set of clean clothes: a soft cotton T-shirt and loose sweatpants, and then took out

A pair of slippers are placed in the room to wear, and the travel shoes worn when going out are placed at the entrance.

Because she had settled down temporarily and she was satisfied with the room, You Xi was in a good mood and decided not to eat takeout today and make dinner by herself.

She first took out a cup and a pack of hanging ears, used a solid alcohol stove and a stainless steel kettle to boil a one-liter bottle of mineral water, brewed the hanging ears, poured the remaining hot water into a thermos kettle to keep warm, and then

Just put it on the warehouse shelf.

The coffee powder absorbed the boiling water, and the whole room was suddenly filled with the aroma of coffee. She closed her eyes and took a breath, feeling like she was back in her small apartment.

After a minute or two, she took out the ear-hanging bag, put a piece of sugar in the coffee, then took out a bucket of 4c seven-day-old fresh milk, poured an appropriate amount, and then took a big sip.

The aroma of coffee, slightly bitter, a little sweet, and the silky taste of milk reminded her of every late night when she was working on comics in her apartment.

Coffee is her life. It is really hard to imagine a world without coffee.

She had even thought about putting the newly purchased fully automatic freshly ground coffee machine at home into the Star House warehouse so that it could be brought into the post-apocalyptic world, but in the end she gave up because of the power problem. Now think about it, compared to instant coffee,

It seems like she should stock up on more ear-hanging coffee.

The leisurely time with a cup of life-saving coffee and a small piece of cheese cake ended, and she started working on dinner.

There is a public kitchen on the first floor of this B&B. She went upstairs to take a look. It was quite big inside, but the natural gas stove could not be used because the gas was cut off. There were two very primitive stoves on the other side, which could be used as long as there was carbon or firewood.

Cooking food and rice feels like it is for guests to experience life, which is just right for the current situation.

But the dinner she made didn't have to be that troublesome, and she didn't want to be high-profile, so she could make it in the room.

She first moved the round table on the terrace into the room. It was an iron table, which was safer for cooking. The door had already been locked, and the balcony door had been opened for ventilation before and was closed tightly now. She did not close the curtains. Anyway, there was a cliff outside the window.

No one can see inside.

She wiped the round table clean and took out the windproof solid alcohol stove, checkered baking pan, fireless self-cooking pot, and picnic knives one by one.

Next is the ingredients, a 500g box of sliced ​​pork belly, a piece of lettuce, a cucumber, a few green onions, a salt shaker, a pepper shaker, a cumin barbecue dry ingredient can, and three or four heads of garlic.

Finally, I put some barbecue sauce in a disposable cup.

She added an appropriate amount of rice to the fireless self-cooking pot, washed it with the stored water, then poured in mineral water, heated it to a certain temperature with an alcohol stove, then took the fireless self-cooking pot aside and let it slow down on its own.

Slow cooked.

She temporarily extinguished the fixed alcohol in the alcohol stove, then quickly washed the pork belly, lettuce, cucumber, and shallots, drained the lettuce, cut the cucumber into strips, cut the shallots into sections, peeled and sliced ​​the garlic, and drained the pork belly with paper towels.

.

When everything was ready, she relighted the solid alcohol, set up the baking pan, and used chopsticks to place the pork belly on the baking pan. After a while, as the temperature of the baking pan continued to rise, the pork belly began to produce oil and make a sizzling sound.

An irresistible and alluring fragrance emerged.

She smelled the aroma and watched the heat. When one side turned a slightly burnt golden color, she turned the pork belly over.

The solid alcohol heat is high enough. The pork belly is sliced ​​from the supermarket and the thickness is just right. This kind of meat is very simple to grill. You don’t need to add anything. Wait until both sides show some burnt golden color and cut it into small pieces with scissors.

, just sprinkle a little salt and black pepper.

She put out the fire on the alcohol stove and placed the barbecue directly on the baking sheet, which was convenient and kept warm.

The rice on the side was ready. She took a piece of lettuce, first added a little crystal soft rice on top, then the barbecue dipped in barbecue sauce, then cucumber strips, two sections of green onions, a piece of garlic, and finally sprinkled a little bit of garlic.

Then put the dry barbecue ingredient powder on top, wrap everything with lettuce, and it's ready to eat.

The lettuce and cucumber are sweet and crispy, the barbecue meat is three fat and two lean and charred and delicious, the barbecue sauce is fresh and salty, the rice is sweet...

All the flavors put together, it is obviously a very simple recipe, but it is so delicious that it can be swallowed by the tongue. Even the green onions and garlic are very harmonious, which just relieves the greasiness of the barbecue.

A piece of lettuce, bulgogi and rice, just finished it in two bites, this feeling of satisfaction is like owning the whole world.

She took out another cup of coconut-coconut-roasted grass jelly and ate it with the barbecue.

It's a pity that such a rice dish filled with lettuce and barbecued meat is very filling, and You Xi didn't feel so hungry after eating the second one.

So she began to change the way she ate it, sandwiching a piece of garlic between two pieces of barbecue, dipping it in barbecue sauce and cumin powder, and eating it directly, occasionally chewing a cucumber or eating a piece of lettuce.

In the end, there was still a lot of rice left, and the barbecue, cucumber, and lettuce were all finished.

She took out a soup bowl, filled it with rice, and put it directly on the shelf in the Star House warehouse. The rice was still hot. Next time she wanted to eat the rice, she didn't have to cook it, she could just take it out and eat it.

There were not many tableware and it was easy to put away. It took her five minutes to wash everything and put it away. She washed her face and hands again, then leaned on the side of the sofa and continued to drink Shaoxiancao. It was sweet, glutinous, and ice-cold. This taste is from this restaurant.

Her favorite in the milk tea shop.

She was very satisfied with her dinner and was very grateful. For a stay-at-home girl, the happiest thing in the world is to stay at home, wait for takeout and eat delicious food. Of course, if you can also watch dramas and variety shows and movies while eating, that's it.

Even better.

"It seems that I have to put that 256g memory tablet into the Star House warehouse next time." I just don't know if the next apocalyptic world will have the same peaceful time as this one.

You Xi has been staying at the B&B for three days. He spends one or two hours every day doing some physical training using the facilities on the small terrace. He spends more than half an hour taking out his picture album and sketching pens to practice. During the meal, he closes the doors and windows tightly and sits in the room.

Use a solid alcohol stove to simply cook some food.

She doesn't have to torture herself by eating instant noodles every day. Some delicious things are actually very simple to make.

For example, for hot pot, as long as you have onion, ginger, garlic, cooking oil and spicy hot pot ingredients, use a camping pot to stir-fry until fragrant, add water and boil, then take out the beef and mutton slices, tripe, vegetables, duck blood, konjac, various meatballs, etc. that you bought in the supermarket.

Just wash and rinse it and you can eat it.

Another example is the spicy hot pot, which uses the same onion, ginger, garlic cooking oil and spicy hot pot ingredients. After frying a lot of oil, add shrimp, lunch meat, beef and mutton rolls, vegetable mushrooms, meatballs, etc., stir-fry for a while and then it will be cooked.

, paired with rice, every bite is full of happiness and satisfaction.

Of course, she would go out every day to check out the situation outside and find a way to leave Island L.

There are more and more people in the Wanghaishan Hotel area day by day. The rescue team rescued more survivors and injured people, but there is still no news of external rescue.

Her previous guess was correct, the scope of this tsunami should be very large.

Think about it, this is an apocalyptic world. If the tsunami disaster is only a local area, why would the word "apocalyptic" be used?

The tsunami came suddenly. Except for those who were lucky enough to stay in high-rise buildings, most people lost their belongings in the water, so very few people stayed in hotels at their own expense.

The boss and his wife put a piece of paper on the glass door and wrote the room price in several languages, and then spent most of their time in the room on the first floor.

For three days, the water level has not receded, but it has not risen again, and the temperature has dropped a lot. This morning, when You Xi opened the sliding door of the terrace, he shivered because of the cold wind that hit his face.

The long-sleeved singlet on her body could no longer resist the coldness. She hurriedly closed the sliding door, took out a light down jacket from the Star House warehouse and put it on. Then she added a pair of warm pants to her sweatpants, and then reopened the terrace.

Door.

It's only about 7 or 8 degrees outside. The temperature in L Island is between 25 and 35 degrees all year round. It dropped below 20 degrees a few days ago, which is already very low. Unexpectedly, it dropped by more than 10 degrees overnight.

.

You Xi zipped up his down jacket. The warm clothes blocked the chill, but he still felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

She suddenly realized that another disaster had come quietly and unknowingly.

There is no such thing as escaping Island L and returning to Capital City S before the hypothermic catastrophe started!
