Chapter 008 Chapter 8 Sour Soup Beef
Bai Feng walked into the room and closed the door gently, with a smile on his face, his eyes slowly scanning the furnishings in the room.
This room is the same as An Qing's, also a small room of two square meters, cramped and depressing. A bed, a small table and a chair are all the furniture in the room.
There is a row of hooks on the wall for hanging clothes.
After looking around the room calmly, Bai Feng walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down. Then he picked up the kettle on the table and turned over the cup that was upside down on the table.
Crash——
The water from the kettle poured into the cup.
The water was boiling, steaming. The white mist blurred Bai Feng's vision. He silently looked at the water in the cup that was still rippling. The smile on his lips disappeared little by little, and fatigue and numbness appeared in his eyes.
He gently stroked the rim of the cup for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
The handkerchief was stained with tiny green fuzz.
This was the fluff that fell off when he gently wiped the red leaves of the mutant plant with a handkerchief when he was carrying them.
The red leaves are brightly colored, palm-shaped, thick, and covered with many tiny green hairs.
This mutated plant is extremely poisonous. Accidentally inhaling the hairs on the leaves can easily cause poisoning. Therefore, everyone who goes to collect red leaves must be extremely careful.
Red leaves are extremely poisonous, but they are one of the raw materials for making potions that inhibit the growth of plants. They are very important and indispensable to the base.
Bai Feng stared at the lint on the handkerchief and carefully shook it into the cup of water.
The fuzz on the red leaves cannot withstand the high temperature, and the moment they fall into the water, they melt into it.
The white water instantly turned into a cup of light green water.
Bai Feng picked up the still hot water, stared at the liquid, watched the steaming white mist gradually decrease, and waited for the water temperature to gradually drop.
He just sat at the table and waited quietly.
Familiar faces seemed to appear before my eyes.
He used to be the captain of Team 1011. After being seriously injured, he could no longer serve as the captain of Team 1011. He retreated to the base and became a laboratory material mover.
In this world, everyone tacitly keeps a sufficient distance from each other. Even those who stay in the base will not establish close relationships with others because they have long been accustomed to keeping a distance from others.
But no matter how stressful or overwhelming it was when I was out, at least I had teammates around me.
And now, he was all alone, feeling as if he was suffocated by darkness.
Every day he felt very tired, confused about the road ahead, unable to see the future, and even felt that life was meaningless and painful.
Bai Feng knew that this mentality was wrong, and he tried his best to find hope for survival. He participated in singing activities in the square every night, played games in the entertainment corner, and even rented novels from the library. He also tried to write his own novels.
He tried very hard to survive.
His former teammates kept their distance from him after he left the team, but Bai Feng would wait at the entrance of the base in the afternoon every time they went on a mission. When he saw his teammates return safely, he would quietly walk away.
But this time, he couldn't wait for his former teammates.
Bai Feng felt so tired, so exhausted that he no longer had the energy to go on.
He had this feeling a long time ago, and it became stronger with time. This time, when he learned that the beast tide broke out prematurely after Team 1011 went out on a mission, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and he didn't want to struggle anymore.
It’s too tiring to live like this.
Although Bai Feng had already collected Hongye's fluff after receiving the news, he still waited at the base entrance with a glimmer of hope.
No one entered the base until dark.
Bai Feng shook the water in the cup. The water temperature had dropped. He held the cup close to his mouth.
The red leaves were extremely poisonous. Although he had only collected a little bit of fluff, it was deadly enough.
He suddenly thought of the girl next door and felt a little guilty. He hoped that he would not cause her any psychological trauma.
This sense of guilt made him hesitate to drink the water in the cup, but he couldn't put it down.
In the end, he chose to escape in a miserable manner. After silently saying sorry to An Qing in his heart, the cup of water tilted.
Boom boom boom——
Before the glass of water touched his lips, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Feng paused and hesitated for a while, then put down the cup and covered it with a kettle, then stood up and walked towards the door.
The knocking on the door continued, again and again.
Bai Feng opened the door.
Then he was stunned for a moment, "An Yiqing?"
An Qing smiled, nodded and asked, "Can I come in?"
This question was baffling, and Bai Feng frowned, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."
In the base, people tacitly keep their distance from each other and avoid intimate relationships, but that doesn't mean they are truly free from desire. On the contrary, people in the base are very open about sex, and as long as two people are attracted to each other, they can spend a wonderful and relaxing night.
An Qing came over and knocked on the door, asking if she could come in. Bai Feng saw that it was obvious that she wanted something to happen.
Perhaps it was his earlier initiative to greet her that caused her to misunderstand.
Bai Feng felt a little funny and didn't understand why she liked him.
An Qing was a little confused by Bai Feng's blunt rejection. What did he mean by "he didn't mean that"? "No, I just want to make a deal with you."
Deal? Bai Feng frowned. Looking at An Qing's expression, he probably realized that he was overthinking it, but he was even more confused. "What deal?"
An Qing sighed and said, "Let's talk inside. It's not easy to talk here."
Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and let her in.
The two-square-meter room was already cramped, and now with two people standing inside, the already small space became even smaller, making people very uncomfortable.
An Qing walked in and took out a bucket of instant noodles.
When An Qing took out the bucket of instant noodles, she still felt a little distressed, because this was five points of happiness.
But she was also very curious about how much she could gain from Bai Feng.
"This is instant noodles with sour soup beef flavor. Five coins a bucket. Do you want it?" An Qing shook the bucket of instant noodles in her hand.
Bai Feng looked at the white barrel in her hand.
He had just read a food article yesterday that was about a time travel back to the pre-apocalyptic era, and it included a description of instant noodles.
For people today, instant noodles are something that only exists in legends. They are said to be extremely delicious and one of the most delicious foods.
But how exactly is it delicious? Because people nowadays have a superficial understanding of what delicious means, it is actually difficult to describe the specific texture and taste. Anyway, the whole article is just describing how delicious this dish is and how delicious that dish is.
Although the vocabulary is limited, it gives people enough room for imagination, so many people borrow this book.
Bai Feng looked at An Qing helplessly, "Are you kidding me again?"
An Qing walked past him and went to the table. "Are you kidding? I'm serious."
When Bai Feng saw her walking towards the table, his heart tightened and he hurriedly wanted to reach out to pull An Qing, but his hand suddenly stopped.
An Qing put the instant noodle bucket on the table, opened the lid casually, revealing the golden noodles inside.
Bai Feng stared blankly at the pancake inside.
An Qing had already taken out the seasoning packet and fork. She expertly tore the packet apart and placed it in the pancake. She picked up the kettle beside her and asked, "Is that boiling water in there?"
Bai Feng was still a little dazed. Although he didn't know what instant noodles tasted like or what they tasted like, he could find some food posters in the library, including instant noodles.
He couldn't be so ignorant as to not even know what instant noodles look like.
Bai Feng pinched himself subconsciously, wondering if he was dreaming, but the sharp pain told him clearly that he was not dreaming.
An Qing looked over in confusion: "Is there boiling water in here? Don't just stand there. Is it drinkable?"
Bai Feng came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, then saw An Qing holding a kettle and pouring water into the instant noodle bucket.
As soon as the boiling water is poured in, a rich fragrance wafts out.
Bai Feng swallowed subconsciously, staring at An Qing, "Is this really instant noodles?"
Before he could finish his words, saliva started to flow from the corners of his mouth, and he hurriedly wiped the saliva away.
An Qing smiled and closed the lid of the instant noodles. "It's genuine goods, five coins, it's not expensive. Don't you really want to try it?"
Bai Feng had completely forgotten the heaviness and depression he had felt before. He couldn't take his eyes off the instant noodle bucket, and saliva kept secreting from his mouth. He didn't even dare to open his mouth, as he felt that his saliva would pour out as soon as he opened it.
He nodded vigorously to indicate that he wanted to try it.
Then he fumbled around in a panic, took out his wallet, pulled out a banknote with a base pattern printed on it, and handed it to An Qing.
An Qing took the coins that Bai Feng handed over and unfolded them to take a look.
It is a bit similar to the RMB, but obviously smaller and thinner, with the appearance pattern of the entire base in the middle.
An Qing counted the coins and looked at Bai Feng with a smile, "Wait two more minutes and you can eat. Starting tomorrow, I will open a small restaurant on the first floor of Building 13 in front of the square. Come and take care of my business then."
Bai Feng's eyes were only focused on the instant noodles that were still steaming and emitting a rich aroma. He couldn't hear what An Qing was saying at all.
An Qing smiled when she saw this, and when the time was almost up, she nodded and said, "Okay, it's ready, you can eat it, I'll be leaving first."
Bai Feng didn't care about so many things at all. When he heard that it was okay, he immediately stepped over and opened the lid like An Qing had done before, revealing the soaked noodles inside.
It smells so good, the aroma of beef in sour soup is really tempting. Bai Feng held the fork next to him awkwardly, not knowing how to start for a moment.
After a while, he tried to pick up the chewy noodles with a fork and put them into his mouth.
The sour taste with a slight spiciness swept over his entire tongue. Bai Feng subconsciously widened his eyes and sucked the noodles into his mouth without any instruction.
He chewed it slowly and it was just as delicious as described in the novel!
Bai Feng couldn't control himself at all, stuffing the food into his mouth and chewing it in big mouthfuls.
The delicious instant noodles made him feel satisfied, and this satisfaction made him happy both physically and mentally. He finished the whole bucket of noodles in a short while.
He held the instant noodle bucket and drank up all the soup in it.
Boom——
The bucket of instant noodles was placed heavily on the table.
"Burp—" He burped long and loudly.
In this corridor, the doors of many rooms were open. Some people were standing at the door looking in, while others walked out directly.
"What is this? It smells so good—"
"Slurp, yes, this smell makes my mouth water. I don't know where it comes from."
"Did they develop a delicious nutrient solution at the base?"
At this time, An Qing also received a system prompt.
[Ding——Happiness +100]
