Right on Target: Chapter 43 food
Su Heting never expected that this would be the result of his visit to the supermarket. The price tags on the shelves were updated, but the items were gone.
Su Heting asked: "Is there any other shortcut to get here? Or is there a group of survivors around?"
Xie Zhenshu shook his head and said firmly, "We are the first to arrive."
Su Heting entered and saw a handwritten calendar in front of the cash register, which also marked today's special prices. He wiped it with his thumb and said, "The writing is not dry yet."
Xie Zhenshu stood among the shelves, flipped through the empty boxes in the meat freezer, and said, "The ice cubes have just been refreshed."
Su Heting said: "It means that everything was normal when it first dawned. Jue repaired here as usual, and there was no problem until it was time to refresh the food."
Xie Zhenshu gave a "hmm" and agreed with this idea. He opened an empty box, bowed his head and smelled it, and said, "It smells like meat."
Su Heting was moved when he heard "meat". He leaned over and smelled it, and he was very sure: "It's beef."
He believes that Jue is a good system with a kind heart, and the refreshed food is so considerate, there is even beef, but it is a pity that he can only rely on smelling to satisfy his hunger.
Xie Zhenshu said: "Only here will refresh the meat, and other places will heat rice **** and curry."
The punishment area does not know when it will be dark, and it is close to the land of gods and demons. It is an extremely dangerous area for ordinary survivors. Only Xie Zhenshu usually visits. Perhaps it is for this reason that Jue can refresh a variety of food here, without having to be as cautious and hide as he is in the city.
Su Heting said: "Last time there was a worm in the weapon box, but this time the food was not refreshed. Obviously, the main **** system has been eyeing it. Speaking of which, I have a question, has the main **** system always known about Jue's existence?"
Xie Zhenshu nodded and said, "I know."
Su Heting asked: "Are they also looking for Jue?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhenshu replied very cautiously. Seeing that Su Heting seemed to be thinking about something, he continued, "Jue has been hiding here since he left the hunting experiment. The main **** system has tried many times, but it can't be found."
Su Heting said, "Why are they looking for Jue?"
Xie Zhenshu put the empty box back and said: "Eat it, collective evolution."
The music in the supermarket has stopped, and the "hum" of the air conditioner is loud. Su Heting's back was chilly, he used his tail to drive away the chill, glanced around from the corner of his eye, and saw that every lighted place was like the eyes of the main **** system.
Xie Zhenshu sensed the cat's reaction and said, "Go out."
The two exited the supermarket, and it was the hottest time outside. Su Heting pulled up the zipper of his coat and stood against the wall, where there was a shadow to avoid the sun.
Xie Zhenshu turned on the intercom and called out: "Yu Cheng."
It took three or four seconds for Yu Cheng to reply: "Sir!"
Xie Zhenshu asked: "Do you have anything at the refresh point?"
Yu Cheng squatted under the scorching sun and had been guarding for more than twenty minutes. He took off his glasses, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "No, nothing..." He didn't want to disappoint, so he hurriedly answered, "The refresh time may be delayed, I'll wait and see!"
Su Heting and Xie Zhenshu looked at each other, their hearts sank.
Xie Zhenshu said: "Don't wait, go to the next refresh point."
Yu Cheng said in a daze, "Okay..."
Xiao Gu answered through the intercom: "It shouldn't be, it's almost two hours before dawn, and it's not usually delayed for such a long time."
Dongfang looked at the wounded under the awning. In order not to cause panic, he slipped aside covering his ears and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Has the food not been refreshed?"
Xie Zhenshu was silent for a while, and said, "No."
This answer silenced everyone.
The atmosphere was heavy, and the sweat on Yu Cheng's forehead couldn't stop flowing. He was flustered and drove the car extremely fast, arriving at the next refresh point within ten minutes. Unfortunately, there is still nothing refreshed here.
Xiao Gu hugged the gauze tightly and said, "What's the matter?! We don't even have heated rice balls."
Hua Zhi pursed her lips and said, "Not only the rice balls, but other supplies have not been refreshed."
Dongfang frowned: "I don't know how long it will be bright, so many survivors can't stay on the ground."
Xie Zhenshu said: "You count the number of people and take the survivors to the place of birth."
The place of birth he was talking about was the place where the survivors went online. It was a huge underground storage room that was closed on all sides and could only go down by a special elevator. From there, the conquerors began to explore outwards, and many nutritional surfaces were also stored there.
This kind of nutrition is different from the food on the ground. It is the charity of the main **** system. The amount is accurate to the number of survivors, and each person has only one portion a day. Regardless of age, gender, weight and physical condition, the amount of each serving of nutritional noodles is fixed, and it is difficult to feed people. Many people starved to death in the early days, but now it has become their retreat.
Yu Cheng sat in the car feeling bored, he sighed deeply, started the car and walked back.
Hua Zhi asked: "When will the officer and the cat arrive? Let's go together."
Xie Zhenshu looked at Su Heting and said, "We stay on the ground."
Su Heting can go offline and Xie Zhenshu can be resurrected. This is an advantage that others do not have. They can stay on the ground and continue to search for supplies.
Hua Zhi hesitated, she said, "I can also stay on the ground."
Xiao Gu said: "It's me! One is that I am the oldest, and the other is that I don't want to go back to the place where I was born. It's too much like a breeding farm. I have nightmares when I go back."
"Why is it like paying the bill, and you still grabbed it? The officer said we will leave. Don't run away!" Dongfang has quick eyes and hands, picked up Xiao Gu, and said to the communicator, "Sir, we promise to complete the task, please stay on the phone .”
Dongfang seems to be generous, but he is the most obedient and reliable.
Xie Zhenshu said: "When Yu Cheng returns to the team, you are ready to go."
Xiao Gu frowned, and sighed: "There was something wrong with the black worm incident last time. I was still wondering why they came out in broad daylight. Now it seems that it is just the beginning. What is the main **** system doing?"
Dongfang threw Xiao Gu into the car and said, "What can we do? Take it. You wait here for Yu Cheng, and Hua Zhi and I will notify the various search teams to count the number of people. After a while, you two will count the number of people who can still drive. Let's go, we're almost there."
Su Heting couldn't hear clearly, so he could only glance at Xie Zhen's book.
Xie Zhenshu temporarily turned off the microphone of the intercom, and asked, "What time do you go offline?"
Su Heting frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't know."
It is estimated that he was disturbed by Zhuyin when he went online this time, and he was muted before he was told how long the time limit was. Counting the time, it has been almost thirteen hours.
Su Heting remembered last time, Xie Zhenshu asked him when he would come again. The words that came to my lips turned around and became: "Don't panic, I can accompany you till night."
