The atmosphere was awkward, and the three men couldn't hold on to their words. Joanna seemed not to notice the inner feelings of the three men. Maybe she had been holding it in for a long time. She kept gossiping about the people around her.
All kinds of things that green tea bitches do.
Egg suddenly understood that Joanna had been hiding at home for the past few days. She had food, drink, and entertainment when there was electricity. It was just like taking a long vacation at home.
Joanna has not changed her mentality at all. For her, the world still remains the same as before.
Just when Joanna was talking about her third boyfriend, Iger interrupted her. He said: "Sorry, Joanna. Some of the three of us are hungry. We have some food with us, but we may need
Process it."
It's not that Iger deliberately wanted to change the subject. I'm really not hungry after a big meal.
If you lie down after eating the paste, you may be able to go to sleep now, but after exercising vigorously, that little paste is simply not enough.
After hearing what Iger said, Joanna said sorry. She took a candle from the living room and moved it to the kitchen. Joanna put the candle on the top of the cupboard, then took out the pan, and then she turned the switch of the gas stove.
, there was a snap, and a blue flame rose up.
I didn't expect that Joanna still had a liquefied gas tank at home. No wonder she didn't see how anxious she was even when the power went out.
Although America is rich in natural resources and petrochemical resources, and the prices are extremely cheap, in areas that are not densely populated, energy companies will not spend a lot of money to build gas pipelines, or even refill liquefied gas.
The sites are also not evenly distributed, at least not in this community.
Most people in the gospel community use electric energy to cook. Modern appliances have greatly facilitated people's lives, but their shortcomings are also obvious. After yesterday's power outage, various appliances in the kitchen cannot be used. Even Sister Maria can't use them.
Forced to become a gooey chef.
Joanna took out a box of eggs and a box of bacon from the refrigerator. She turned around, picked up a kitchen knife, cut off a large piece of butter, and put it on the pan. After the butter melted, she picked up the eggs and skillfully placed them in the pan.
While banging the eggs, he cracked the eggs into the pot and threw away the shells. Then he picked up another egg and knocked it into the pot. The whole action was smooth and smooth. It was obvious that he didn't cook less.
After looking at the kitchen door for a while to confirm that he didn't need his help, Iger returned to the living room. He opened his backpack and rummaged around.
After a while, Joanna came out with three plates, each with a strip of bacon and two fried eggs. Out of politeness, Iger handed a canned yellow peach to Joanna.
After two days of eating, the hot bacon and eggs exuded an irresistible aroma of protein. Iger swallowed, and then started to start with some impoliteness.
Seeing Father Locke and Vance praying before the meal, and Egg gobbling it up alone with a fork, Joanna showed some disgust on her face, and her favorable impression of the dark-skinned boy dropped from 0 to negative.
Joanna suddenly remembered something. She took out the mobile phone clamped on her chest and looked at it. She couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it! The mobile phone is turned off! I must have missed the time!"
After saying that, Joanna turned on the flashlight and ran upstairs.
Iger had finished eating quickly at this time. When he saw Joanna running upstairs in a panic, he followed her.
"Hey, what did you miss?" Iger asked as he ran behind Joanna.
"Contact. I missed the contact time." Joanna quickly ran back to her bedroom. She opened the curtains and picked up the flashlight and flashed it somewhere outside the window.
Iger also ran into Joanna's bedroom at this time. He saw Joanna flash the flashlight in her hand three times in a row. After a while, there was a real light source outside the window and it started to flash.
When Egg saw it, he quickly ran to the stairs and shouted downstairs: "Father, Vance, come up and take a look, Joanna is in contact with other survivors."
Not long after, the three of them arrived in Joanna's bedroom and saw a light source somewhere in the darkness, flashing regularly towards them.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Vance said, "This seems to be some kind of code."
Iger nodded and said with certainty: "It's Morse code."
"Do you understand?" Vance turned his head and asked Iger. He was a little surprised. This kid seemed to understand a lot.
As a result, Iger's next sentence directly replied: "I don't understand." Vance almost stumbled.
Egger explained: "Morse code is difficult to understand. Once you understand it, you can't remember it. We all live in the modern communication era. Who would learn this?"
Yes, who would learn this?
Yes, who is that person and how could he do this?
Egger took Joanna's flashlight and pointed it at the light source that kept flashing the Morse code. He first pulled it from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, and then from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. He repeated this three times, and the light source on the opposite side finally disappeared.
Flashed.
Joanna didn't react. She asked Iger: "What was the message you sent him? Did you understand the message he sent just now?"
Iger shook his head. He turned off the flashlight and handed it back to Joanna. Then he said angrily: "You can't understand. What I replied to him was three ×. ×, ×, ×."
This...can be considered a form of successful communication.
After the four of them returned to the living room, Joanna took back the three empty plates on the table. Then she took off her high heels and huddled on the sofa. After opening the canned fruit, she ate the chunks of yellow peach with a fork in small bites.
"I would like to ask, what happened to the survivor I just contacted?" After Iger sat down, he immediately asked a question that everyone was most concerned about.
After Joanna swallowed the mouthful of yellow peach, she said: "It's nothing. On the first night, I saw someone turning the lights in the bedroom on and off in the distance, so I also added a flashing light so that everyone would know where it was.
There are still living people.
After eating a yellow peach, Joanna put down the canned yellow peach and continued: "In the entire community, we have three flashing lights in the entire community. After the power outage yesterday, we changed to flashlights.
Then……"
Joanna hesitated and then said: "Yesterday, two people wanted to escape at night, but not far from my house downstairs, they were blocked by a group of infected people."
At this point, Joanna stopped. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and cried a few times, then tried hard to stop. Joanna sniffed and said: "It's so miserable. It's so miserable after being caught by those infected.
Those monsters bit the two people to death and ate them bit by bit. I listened upstairs without even daring to show my head."
Joanna suddenly turned to Iger and said: "Can I ask you something? If I am caught by those infected, please put a bullet in my head. I really don't want to die so miserably, really
of."
After saying that, Joanna finally couldn't hold back her tears and started crying. Iger didn't nod, didn't make a sound, didn't comfort her and said "it's okay", and didn't promise her "I will protect you".
In this world, comfort and promises cannot be fulfilled. It is better to remain silent than to talk about those empty lies.
