Chapter 45: Chef
Because of Gu Ping and Luo Hui, Chen Mu could somewhat understand He Ying's mood. This girl's mentality and approach at the beginning were very similar to Dong Junwei's, and she seemed to be a stronger person.
But unfortunately, her luck is obviously not as good as Dong Junwei's.
"Later, we would be extra careful every time we went out, usually at night. Fortunately, they didn't dare to send people to guard the faucets, so we didn't have to worry about drinking water." "It seems that drinking
tap water directly is no problem." Tang Jing nodded. head.
"What's the problem?"
"Nothing." Tang Jing shook her head and didn't explain much.
"Do you have other water sources?" He Ying was curious.
"We were lucky and found a box of mineral water."
He Ying: "..."
"But now it seems that there is indeed a mysterious force that is forcibly changing certain rules to allow humans to survive." "
Why is that so? Say?"
"If it is normal, after our bodies become smaller, the functions of many organs cannot cope with the current environment. Drinking water, air, food, corresponding to our kidneys, respiratory tract, and digestive system, logically speaking, it is impossible to continue Maintain the same physiological functions as before..."
When Tang Jing said this, seeing everyone's confused faces, she stopped explaining and said with a smile: "But even superpowers have appeared, there is nothing difficult to understand about these things. "."
He Ying continued: "After the water problem was solved, food gave us a problem. Fortunately, at this time, a few of us awakened our abilities. Although it is not very useful, it can still help a little. , so we entered the cafeteria again, thinking that it would be best to find a safe base inside, so that it would be easier to find food in the future." "But I didn't expect that at this
time, people from No. 1 Middle School had already occupied this place." "
That was When?" Chen Mu suddenly asked.
"About the third day after the disaster."
"In other words, it took the people of No. 1 Middle School three days to move from the playground to the canteen." Chen Mu said thoughtfully.
"Maybe less than three days." He Ying said.
"Huh?"
"When we entered the canteen for the second time, we found that they had made several fortress-like fortifications with stainless steel basins in the front hall, and they had a clear division of labor and order." "How did they do it?
"
"It seems like they just buckled the basin on the ground."
Tang Jing shook her head: "It should be more than that. If it was just buckled on the ground, any mouse could destroy it. Moreover, they dare to build a fortress in an open space like the front hall of the cafeteria. There must be something to rely on."
"I don't know about that." He Ying said: "I relied on my light movements to explore from a distance several times, but I didn't dare to get too close." "They have a total
of How many people?" Chen Mu asked.
"I estimate that there are at least a hundred or so."
Everyone looked at each other.
No wonder No. 1 Middle School dared to stay in a place like the cafeteria. Even if half of the people were awakened, there would still be 50 superpowers. All kinds of weird abilities could indeed support their daily activities.
"Did you confront them again later?"
"Yes. At first, I thought that the cafeteria was so big that even if there were many of them, as long as we hid a little, we wouldn't necessarily encounter them, so I had the courage and a few people with awakened abilities. My classmates went in to look for food."
He Ying said this and sighed: "Unfortunately, I don't know if it was bad luck or something, but I met them twice in a row. I wanted to talk to them at first, but they ignored me at all. , we started fighting as soon as we came up. We were no match at all, and several people died one after another.
"Since then, I have never dared to eat in the canteen again, and I can only pick up garbage on the outside to eat." "
Everyone felt sad when they heard it.
But Chen Mu asked again: "Do you know if anyone else in our school survived? "
Yes!" "He Ying was categorical.
Chen Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that she was so sure.
He Ying continued: "We once met a student from our own school named Li Xu. According to him, most of the people in the first and second grades of high school were on the playground. He survived there, and he himself was sent out to gather students from the school, but he went too far and got separated from the team.
"Playground? " How did they survive?
"I don't know. Li Xu refused to say it, but looking at him, he seemed quite proud. I guess the people in the No. 1 Middle School were kicked out by them and were forced to run to the cafeteria, so they were very concerned about Ziwei High School. " Everyone is hostile. "
That's possible. " "
Chen Mu thought of the inexplicable hostility of the group of people in No. 1 Middle School, and he agreed with this guess, and asked: "Is that Li Xu also a person with abilities?
"Yes, and his ability is very special. He can mentally control animals other than humans. " "He Ying sighed as he spoke.
"Damn it, this is too strong. "
Everyone was filled with admiration and envy.
"It sounds really powerful. There was no yearning in He Ying's words, and she said helplessly: "But in fact, the effect is very limited." "
How come? " "Everyone was puzzled.
"Actually, you should also know that the type of a person's ability is only one aspect. The degree of mastery and your so-called mental power are the most critical. "
So, the animals he can control are actually very limited? " "Chen Mu probably understood what she meant.
He Ying sighed: "Not only is it limited, according to Li Xu himself, when he first awakened, it was very difficult to control an ordinary ant. After several days of practice, he can control it. It can only have a certain impact on insects of the size of flies, but it is only an impact, far from control, and the duration is very short.
"It seems like it's really useless. "
"It's not completely useless. A few times he was able to control an ant to explore the way to dangerous places. Although the distance couldn't be too far and the time could only last about five minutes, it still helped us avoid some. " Danger.
"What happened to him later? " "Chen Mu remembered that He Ying had said that among the remaining five of them, only Sun Yuan and herself were capable people. Obviously, the one named Li Xu was either dead or left. "Li Xu always said that he would take
the We went to the base camp over the playground, but unfortunately the journey was far away, and his ability was not enough to bring us back safely, so he stayed with us for the time being, thinking of finding a chance to go back together. Unfortunately, during the time of No. 1 and No. 1 Middle School During the confrontation, he also..." He
Ying said this, inevitably a little sad: "Because of Li Xu, I have always regarded going to the base camp over the playground as the ultimate goal, but unfortunately the entire school is too big for us now. Well, even if you get to the playground, there is a high probability that you won’t be able to find anyone.
"Have you never asked Li Xu about his specific location? " "
After asking, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. I couldn't force him. Who would have thought that he would be killed soon."
"That's about all I know, what else do you want to ask?"
...
Chen Mu and Tang Jing and Dong Junwei looked at each other and each had some ideas, but at this time, it was difficult to discuss directly in front of He Ying.
Counting the time, it was already noon.
Tang Jing smiled and said: "Let's talk about the rest later. Everyone should be hungry too. There is delicious food today. We have wine today and will get drunk today. Let's have a full meal first." "However, Chen Mu may still need to take the spoon himself
. Yes." Dong Junwei smiled.
He Ying was confused: "Isn't Du Jiajia the head chef?"
Dong Junwei said with a smile: "Our head chef has just learned to cook for three days and can only make one rice pancake. Therefore, we can only let the chef's teacher, Comrade Chen Mu Returning to the world."
