…The weather seems to be getting colder and colder.
Lin Sanjiu woke up from the cold - it was as if all the bones in her body had shrunk into a ball and her blood had frozen. When she half-opened her eyes in confusion, her muscles had been trembling slightly for too long.
Nothing hurts.
She got out of the quilt with only a little warmth left, shivering, grabbed the floral cotton-padded jacket, put it on and wrapped it tightly around her body.
It was getting later, and the room was darker than before she fell asleep, with only a vague outline of furniture left; it was quiet and silent outside, as if the world had forgotten this small hotel room.
Turning on the light, Lin Sanjiu took a look at the Qingtian doll on the ceiling. Seeing that there was nothing strange about it, she opened the room door and walked to the corridor.
Waking up alone in a cold environment, she was very eager to talk to someone. Lin Sanjiu knocked on Chen He's door and asked in a loud voice: "Chen He, are you here? Now
When was it?"
The words died down, the knocking sound also stopped, but there was silence inside the room door.
She waited for a while and called again, but there was still no sound.
...Did you go out?
Lin Sanjiu thought about all the things she had experienced since she came to this world, and her heart could not help but slowly lift up - she turned the door handle and found that it was locked; she touched it lightly with her finger, and a small amount of dust fell.
It seemed like no one had touched the doorknob for a long time.
She went downstairs and walked around the hall, but there was no sign of Chen He or Xiao Qing.
I don’t know what happened when the apocalypse happened. Half of the red carpet in the hotel lobby was kicked up, and the sofa for guests to rest was also in a mess; whether it was on the table or the service desk at the front desk, there was a
The thick layer of gray showed an abandoned desolation.
There must have been a sudden change on the day when the end came - a woman's bag fell in the middle of the hall, powder and lipstick were scattered all over the floor, and the leather shoes worn by the man were buckled crookedly under the reception desk, but the owner did not know where he had gone.
There are no signs of anyone living or moving here.
The sky outside is gray and the world is lonely.
In such an environment, Lin Sanjiu's confidence was suddenly shaken.
Did she really meet a man named Chen He? Was it just a dream she had because she was tired?
——This kind of doubt about oneself, which would never occur normally, quietly grew.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly fell down on the sofa and was stunned in the dust: she frowned and thought for a long time, but found that she had no actual evidence to prove that she had indeed met Chen He.
Although the story about Kisaragi Station was floating in her mind, it didn't mean anything - she had heard this story before, but she had forgotten it for a moment.
Just when she was confused and doubtful, and was about to go upstairs and open the door to take a look, she suddenly heard a muttering not far from the outside of the hotel building: "Why are people here throwing balls and shoes...!"
Then there was a snapping sound, as if someone kicked something away.
"Chen He!" Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up, and all the vague fears that had surrounded her thoughts like a white mist suddenly disappeared. She jumped up and went out to greet him: "You're back?"
The round-headed man was holding a big plastic bag in his hand. When he saw her leaving the hall, he couldn't help but be startled: "Are you awake? Are you waiting for me specially?"
Lin Sanjiu felt a little embarrassed immediately.
"Uh, it's not that... I just saw that you haven't come back for a long time..." She didn't know what she said, so she quickly changed the subject: "Where did you find so much food?"
Her lips were now blue and blue from the cold, and she was wondering if she should eat something to replenish her calories.
"Oh, I've eaten all the food in the hotel. I found all of it in a nearby residential building. After all, this world has food and no danger. It's really great." Chen He said this.
He also became happy and rolled up his short sleeves, "Look, there is a lot of rice, flour, luncheon meat... The kitchen here can also light a fire, and there are all the seasonings."
That's not the best part - because the water and electricity in this world are still running normally, Chen He's plastic pocket even has a few pieces of chicken breast that have been frozen hard after being refrigerated.
Lin Sanjiu, who had forgotten how long it had been since he had hot meals and dishes, was almost overflowing with gastric juice.
She breathed into her frozen hands, "Then let's go cook now! It's just warm..."
Chen He said "Hey", picked up his bag and walked to the kitchen. As he walked, he smiled and said: "I think it's okay. I was quite cold when I first came here, but now I seem to have adapted..."
The two of them were in a light mood, and even joked about Lin Sanjiu's floral cotton-padded jacket, and soon arrived in the kitchen. After a few moves, Chen He found that his cooking skills were much better than Lin Sanjiu's, so he simply let
She rested aside and made a meat fried rice using chicken, luncheon meat and a little dried green onion, which was quickly served to her.
The hot white steam dances slightly on the shiny rice grains, and the aroma is fragrant and tempting.
Lin Sanjiu took a bite immediately.
As soon as the hot meal was in her stomach, a biting chill suddenly burst out, as if even her internal organs were frozen.
Her face was blue and purple, and her body couldn't move for a long time. After a long time, she felt her heart struggling tenaciously out of the cold, barely beating a few times, and pumping out some warm air——
Lin Sanjiu's fingers trembled slightly, and she touched the bowl which was still a little hot in disbelief.
When she raised her head, Chen He's small eyes were looking at her.
"Why don't you eat?"
"I..." Lin Sanjiu wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her teeth were so cold that she couldn't help but knock a few times, cutting off what she wanted to say.
Even though she wasn't so cold that she couldn't speak, she still sensed something was wrong.
Also eating rice fried in a pot, Chen He's round face was glowing red, and because he ate in a hurry, there was even a little hot sweat on his forehead.
You knew without asking that he didn't feel any problem.
"I don't know why, I feel a little cold after eating." She forced a smile, feeling that her blood flow slowed down, and the blood vessels on the back of her hands turned purple. "...Have you ever experienced this before?"
To her surprise, Chen He nodded.
"Yes, but it didn't last long. I didn't have anything to eat at that time. If I didn't eat, I would starve to death. Even if it was cold, I could only force myself to eat... I didn't expect that it would be fine after eating. You should also eat quickly!"
Yeah……
Lin Sanjiu silently lowered his head and glanced at his rice bowl.
She only had two days' worth of food brought from the Garden of Eden. If she wanted to survive here for 14 months, she had to eat what she had here.
Lin Sanjiu even scooped up a spoonful of rice with some fear and put it into his mouth. r1152
