Chapter 7 Figures in the Night
There was hot water vapor in the pot. Mo Yu held a white block with one hand and a knife with the other. He scraped off some white powder from the block and put it in the pot.
It's almost eight or nine o'clock in the evening since it was dark. Because they wanted to save power, both of them turned off their phones and could only rely on guessing to determine the approximate time.
The white blocks are solidified salt blocks, and this thing will not expire and you can find a lot in the kitchen.
After adding the salt, he picked up the spoon and stirred it, then served a little soup in a porcelain bowl, and tasted it.
The taste is not good and it is bitter, but compared to hungry, it is considered a ball of bad taste. At worst, it can be eliminated quickly and you don’t taste the taste.
It’s the same principle as Zhu Bajie’s eating ginseng fruit. As long as I eat it quickly enough, I can’t taste it at all.
Besides, it is good to season with salt, which is a hundred times better than clear soup with water.
"It's ready to eat."
The dishes were quite large, and the two of them shared the food voraciously and sat on a chair to rest.
There were only small flames on the gas stove in the room, and the outside of the window was pitch black.
"Is this paper still useful?"
Mo Yu lifted a large bag of unopened paper from his feet, which was also found in a certain room. Except for the unopened bag, the other bag was broken.
Zhang Lingxi: "It should be useful. The place where it is placed is quite dry. Please take it apart and see if it smells bad."
Hiss!
Mo Yu tore open the packaging bag, took out a small bag and opened it. He smelled it without mold or fragrance, and the paper felt a little harder.
It should be good, just make do with it, but fortunately it is double-layered packaging and sealed.
"Stay a little longer, sharpen the remaining knives, and we can rest." Zhang Lingxi reached out and pulled a piece, rubbed the paper with her fingers, confirmed that it was still good, wiped her hands casually and threw it aside.
Sharpening a knife is not a job that can be completed quickly, especially the goal is covered with rust, which makes it even more difficult.
But the two of them did not have the mentality of complaining. The most important thing now is to survive. Complaints have to wait until the pressure of survival is not so great.
To be honest, the two of them have poor survival skills and the relevant knowledge is even more barren, but they can only use this barren knowledge to ensure their own safety as much as possible and persevere until the day they return to the original world.
Well, maybe there will be that day, maybe not, but I will always hold hope. After all, humans are social creatures. In such a ghost place, sooner or later, they will have a mental breakdown.
Fortunately, now they have two people sharing the pressure.
"Lao Zhang, where do you think we should start the investigation?" While sharpening the knife, Mo Yu decided to discuss this while he was free.
Although I was uneasy before and avoided this aspect, I still have to face the issue of going back.
Zhang Lingxi stopped sharpening his knife and remained silent. This was one of the biggest problems they had to face besides survival.
Survive, go home, face unknown monsters.
Three major problems, survival is barely solved by the materials they have collected now.
Facing an unknown monster, the two of them work together and can probably fight even if they know each other's weaknesses.
Only by investigating how to go home, there is no clue and no clue to find, and this is what they really care about the most.
No one thinks that living in ruins is better than modern cities. Even Bei Ye and De Ye will not choose ruins.
"Maybe we can investigate why this city has become like this first, or look for communication tools and try to contact outside the city to see if there are people from this world who can come to save us."
After thinking carefully, Zhang Lingxi gave an answer that seems pretty good at the moment.
But the problem is that the city is completely abandoned and there are no communication tools. Their mobile phones have electricity, but neither of them will modify them. Besides, I don’t know if there are any communication satellites here.
They now want to know if there are people outside the city, so they can only go out.
Another option is to stay and investigate the truth about the abandonment of the city and the monsters.
Mo Yu stopped his movements and a bold thought popped up in his heart: "You said, the master of the black hands threw us here, would he just want us to investigate the truth about this city?"
"Well, this sounds a bit nonsense, but the possibility is quite high." Zhang Lingxi poured a little water on the whetstone and continued to sharpen the knife, but he stopped again not long after.
"But when you say that, I think of a problem. Although I didn't find eyeballs in that mess, I can't be sure that the monster has no vision."
Mo Yu looked up at him, and then the two of them quickly looked at the still burning gas stove.
Mo Yu was close to him and immediately stood up to extinguish the flames. The room was pitch black.
"Oh, I can't work now."
In the darkness, Mo Yu's helpless voice came, followed by the collision and Zhang Lingxi's soft cry of pain. When he was groping, his thigh hit the corner of the table.
"Is it okay? Why don't I click it again?"
"Forget it, it's okay. It's so dark, it's even more troublesome to cut your hands."
Although some of the wood furniture was rotten, some were well preserved, such as solid wood sofas. The two of them had their old noses moved over.
One long one, two short ones, although not enough to sleep alone, is better than lying on the cold ground.
Two short sofas are opposite each other, and two stools are added in the middle to increase the length. You can just lie down one person. The worn-out books you find are used as pillows, otherwise you may feel a stiff pillow when you wake up tomorrow.
"Hiss~ga!!!"
While the two were tidying up their "bed", a sharp and harsh twitch came from outside the window, scaring their bodies to instantly stiffen.
A few seconds later, they picked up their weapons and fumbled to the window.
"It's the monster's scream, there's really more than one."
"I heard the sound came from downstairs. It was too dark to see clearly."
At night, there are fewer dark clouds in the sky than during the day, and some moonlight shines on buildings and streets.
With the faint moonlight, the two of them vaguely saw black shadows flashing across the street downstairs, and they could only see this.
"Don't worry, go to bed early. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm so tired." Mo Yu yawned, turned around and groped back to the sofa.
Zhang Lingxi: "Well, I'll take a break from the stronghold tomorrow, nail the windows and repair the doors."
Mo Yu: "Then you have to find some more materials, and the rest are not enough."
Zhang Lingxi looked at the street, turned around and went back to sleep, nourishing her energy so that she could have the energy to work tomorrow.
Black shadows flashed again on the streets, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually became thicker, and the faint moonlight disappeared, causing the city to fall into complete darkness.
