Chapter 112 Food is Missing
This is a function built into the transparent phone. Just bring a few phones close together before use, select the signal band, and then fix the signal, and you can implement the intercom function within a range of 10 kilometers.
This intercom function is somewhat similar to her WeChat. After opening it, voice, pictures and even videos can be sent. You can send them to a group or to a single person, but you can't make real-time calls.
At present, the signal network outside has not been disconnected. This function is a bit useless at present, but once the network is disconnected one day in the future, the importance of this function will immediately appear.
Not only can you talk in real time, but you can also send videos. If she happens to be outside and her parents need to contact her for something, or if she wants to contact the other party, it will be very convenient.
In addition, this phone is completely transparent when not in use, and can be attached to the wrist. It does not take up space when stored, which is very convenient for You Feng and Fan Qi, who have no space.
Because the simulated apartment will never be cut off from water, electricity, gas and gas, Fan Qi and You Feng have relaxed a little in the past few days, and no longer think about cooking all kinds of fresh food or making them into fast food that is more convenient to eat.
Now their home is big enough and safe enough. If they want to eat hot pot and barbecue every day, why should they force themselves to eat dry fast food? Even if they go out to exercise in order to adapt to the world in the future, they can find a place to teleport back without being noticed.
Suppose, for example, a few days later, You Feng and Fan Qi followed her to join the team and went out to look for supplies. If they got lost along the way, or walked too far into the jungle and too far away from home, ordinary people might be forced to find a suitable place to spend the night.
But their family can teleport back to the star house. Although it costs 30 star coins for each of You Feng and Fan Qi to teleport, if they encounter danger, these 30 star coins are equivalent to the money to save a life, which is very worthwhile no matter how you look at it.
If the family of three acts alone in the future, even if they do not encounter danger, they have been outside for a few days and feel tired and do not want to walk home, there are two convenient modes.
The first is to teleport home, which is equivalent to walking outside, taking a super-high-speed aircraft home, and getting home in a second to take a shower and sleep.
The second is that if you feel that a new place is better, you can reset the location of the Star House and move your entire home there, and you can still get home and go to bed in one second.
If Youxi is the only one moving alone, it will be even more convenient. She can teleport back to the Star House for free, so it would be a
waste if she doesn't move. With her speed, she can run to the next city to exercise and search for supplies during the day, and teleport directly back home to eat at night.
Teleporting saves time and can save lives, so in the native world, her safety factor is very high, which is why she agreed to travel with the team without saying a word.
At this point, the portable shelter function of the Star House has finally been reflected a little bit.
But at the same time, Youxi realized that the remaining 290 star coins were far from enough, which made her completely give up the idea of buying the ice control skill. Combined with the type of disasters in the original world, she has made up her mind to save star coins to buy plant affinity.
Among the three existing fantasy star tools, plant affinity is the most expensive one, which costs 800 star coins.
In the end, she spent 60 star coins to buy a [Strong Anti-Sugar Pill] for each of the three of them, and after taking it, she strengthened the physical training of her parents. Even if they can't fight ten people like her for the time being, it's no problem for them to deal with one or two normal adults.
In addition to physical training, she would also run upstairs every day, starting from the 15th floor where their home was, going down to the first floor and then up to the top floor, running five times a day. With her current physical fitness, these five times would just make her feel tired.
Of course, running upstairs was also to check the situation outside.
**
That day, Youxi was notified in advance by Xu Yan that everyone would gather on the first floor at 10 a.m. to prepare to go out.
She got up early on purpose and started her daily fixed task of running upstairs. When she was about to finish, she passed by the 14th floor below their home and found a middle-aged woman and her husband knocking on the door of the house next door.
I don’t know why she knocked so hard and hard, and she looked very impolite.
Youxi slowed down and looked outside the security door. She found that the middle-aged woman was knocking on the door of the professor and his wife. She stopped and did not go home immediately.
After a while, the professor and his wife came to open the door. They were both older and had been worried about not sleeping well recently. They got up late in the morning and just put on their clothes. They were both a little sleepy, but they still asked each other what was going on in a good mood.
"What's the matter? You two still have the nerve to pretend to be innocent?"
The middle-aged woman was probably very angry because she had been waiting for a long time after knocking on the door. As soon as she opened her mouth, it was as if she had eaten firecrackers. "You two knocked on my door yesterday and said you were uneasy and asked me what I was going to do next. I thought that your son and daughter-in-law were not around, and you two were alone and old, so I not only brought out snacks to treat you, but also chatted with you and comforted you. But you, while I was going to the restroom, actually stole my food!"
The accusation came out of the blue, and the two old people were unprepared and a little confused, but they soon realized that the other party was accusing them of being thieves, stealing food from their house when the situation outside was so tense.
The old woman waved her hands anxiously, "No, no, how could that be possible! We have food at home, why would we take things from your house?"
"I knew you wouldn't admit it! After all, you look gentle and kind in normal times, and you're a retired professor, so who would be willing to admit that you're a thief? But let me tell you, you've picked the wrong guy! I'm not a person with a good temper. Things are like this outside now, and food is so expensive. And you took a few bags of dried goods from me. Those dried shellfish, mushrooms, squid, and abalone are extremely expensive even in normal times, let alone now?
I tell you, if you don't return my things today, I will let everyone in the building know about this, and everyone will know that you two are thieves!"
The middle-aged woman said, taking out her mobile phone and turning on the camera function, obviously wanting to take a video and upload it to the Internet.
The two old men turned pale and kept waving their hands to say that they didn't take it, but such flimsy words were no match for the other party.
The middle-aged woman not only filmed, but also started to explain with her mobile phone, saying that the other party was a role model, but was old and thief... When she was talking angrily, her mobile phone was taken away by someone.
"Who is it? Who took my mobile phone!" She turned around and met a pair of cold eyes.
You Xi didn't say anything, but went directly to the album, deleted the video just now, and then went to the recycle bin and deleted it completely.
She held the other person's phone and said, "It is illegal to casually film the other person before there is evidence and to define false charges on your own. Of course, you may not understand the law."
"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman reached out for it. She saw the phone right in front of her several times, but she failed to catch it every time. She was so angry that she turned around and glared at her husband, asking him what he was doing standing there like an idiot and to quickly get her phone back!
"Neighbor." After saying this, You Xi handed the phone to the other party's husband who was standing next to her. "You have been neighbors for such a long time, and you were able to welcome him into your home yesterday, which shows that he must have qualities that you trust.
I also believe in their character and they will never do such a thing. After all, we are not completely destitute yet, and everyone has food at home. How could they become thieves for such a little food? Or when we were guests at your house, no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing that is obviously suspicious."
"If it wasn't them who took it, who else would have taken it! You are one of them!" said the middle-aged woman, taking the phone back from her husband and wanting to turn it on to take a photo. This time, the person she intended to take a photo of was You Xi.
As a result, before she could open her phone, her wrist was hit hard by the other party's clasped index and middle fingers. She screamed in pain and subconsciously let go of the phone.
The phone fell and landed back in Youxi's hand again.
"If you don't want the phone, just tell me. I can throw it out the window directly." Youxi frowned, "If something is missing, look for it carefully. Even if you can't find it, don't slander others casually - unless you have evidence."
The other party held her wrist with an unpleasant face: "Girl, you are really fierce. Where are you from? I will settle with you later!" The
middle-aged woman signaled her husband to get the phone. She planned to go back first and think about who to ask for help and how to solve this matter after returning.
But Youxi stopped her: "I'll go back with you to see where the things are."
Youxi had already seen that the middle-aged woman had really lost something, but she also believed in the character of the professor and his wife. It was impossible for them to steal things. If they did, they would not be so stupid as to steal when she was a guest.
Where did the things go?
In order to prove that she was not lying, the middle-aged woman asked Youxi to enter the house and open the food cabinet in the living room. She said that the bags of dry goods were placed there. Because the family needed to eat before, each bag was opened, but only a little bit was taken out. Now there were only bags in the cabinet, and the things inside were gone.
Youxi went forward to take a look. The food cabinet was made of wood and fixed to the wall. There were several empty bags inside. You could smell the smell of dried goods and dried seafood, and there was another faint strange smell in between.
Youxi had never smelled that smell before. Although she didn't know what it was, her intuition told her that the missing things might be related to this smell.
This family also had three people, a husband and wife and a daughter. She deliberately observed the expressions of her daughter and her husband. Whether she was checking the cabinet or studying the bags, they looked at her with worry on their faces. It didn't look like she was being faking it.
What's more, these bags of things were not too little, nor too much. They could be used as a dish for several meals after being soaked, but they were not the kind to resist hunger.
So, the things really disappeared, and it took one night.
"This is a bit strange, but I have to go out with the team today, and it's almost time now. When we come back, I will bring Xu Yan and a few others here to see if there is a way to access the building's surveillance video from the computer."
The surveillance that You Xi mentioned is in the corridors of every floor of the building. "As long as you check the surveillance, you can know who else has entered your home. Of course, you can also see the professor and his wife when they left. It is clear whether they took anything. Before the results come out, don't run to the next door to make trouble, otherwise you have to solve this matter yourself."
The middle-aged woman naturally wanted to find the food back, and the other party was willing to help check the surveillance, so she temporarily suppressed her temper.
When Youxi came out, the elderly couple were standing outside the house, waiting with a worried look on their faces. When they saw her, they thanked her repeatedly and repeatedly stated that they would never steal anything.
"I know, don't worry, she won't come to make trouble for the time being. I'm going out today, you guys stay at home today, and we'll talk about everything when we come back."
After that, she went upstairs amid the other party's thanks again.
**
An hour later, after returning home for breakfast, Youxi changed into a waterproof and sweat-absorbent sportswear, put on a hat and mask, put on a backpack, and went to the first floor to meet up with the others.
There were a total of thirteen people in the whole building on this trip. There were originally more people, but several of them retreated at the last minute.
Xu Yan, the brothers Gou Yaoyang and Gou Mingfeng, and Chen Tong were all there. To her surprise, Chen Tong's husband was also there.
Most people wore protective suits, and some, like her, only wore sports equipment. But without exception, almost everyone carried a backpack, and almost everyone held some tools that could be used as weapons.
Pesticides, golf clubs, kitchen knives...
Everyone's purpose was quite clear. One was to check the situation outside, and the other was to go to the supermarket across the neighborhood to see if they could get in.
If they got in, they would definitely take some supplies home to make the risky trip worthwhile.
Because it was Gou Yaoyang who took the initiative to organize this action, he was temporarily leading the team. He counted the people in the team and said a disclaimer.
The general meaning is that when everyone forms a team, mutual assistance is definitely necessary, but he is just the leader and is not responsible for the safety of everyone. Personal safety is the responsibility of each person. Don't let others come back to settle the score with him if something goes wrong. It would be better not to go out in the first place.
This is to prevent everyone from blaming each other like the last giant rat accident.
The people who can come today are of good psychological quality. Everyone nodded to show that they understood, so Gou Yaoyang signaled Xu Yan to unlock the elevator. Thirteen people walked into the elevator and squeezed into each other, and soon came to the elevator room of the underground garage.
