Chapter 264 You Can Think of Yourself as a Gift
Shi Jiaojiao did not reply, but continued to wait.
Because rising temperature does not mean it is a safe period. It is possible that the temperature will rise all the way to 70 or 80 degrees.
After five minutes, the temperature stopped changing, as if the pause button had been suddenly pressed.
Shi Jiaojiao did not dare to be careless. She waited for another ten minutes to make sure the temperature had stagnated, and then took out the thermometer.
Thirty-one degrees.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the number on the thermometer and couldn't help but smile.
"You can come out now. It should be the safe period."
She didn't say everything, because God changes faster than a child's face. Yesterday's safe period was two hours, who knows how long it will be today?
But even if it's only for a moment, it's enough to make people excited.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei witnessed the temperature change with their own eyes today and couldn't help but marvel at it.
It feels like the temperature is a set program, it goes up when it is told to and stops when it is told to.
Shi Jiaojiao didn’t think too much about it. Even if the end of the world was a program set by someone, so what?
They can neither change nor stop it, all they can do is enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.
Wang Jia originally wanted to get together with Tang Wei, so that the four of them could sit in a row and chat together.
But Shi Jiaojiao refused.
As I said, they were still not sure how long the safe period would be today. The safest place to stay was sitting at the door. In case of any accidents, they could hide in the cave as soon as possible.
Shi Jiaojiao was half leaning on the chair, her sunglasses covering most of her face, leaving only a small chin exposed.
She closed her eyes and lay quietly.
But I was always alert in my heart.
Fortunately, God did not suddenly turn against me this time, and the safe period lasted just two hours, not too long or too short.
When the alarm rang at seven o'clock, the temperature changed at the same time.
This time the four of them were prepared. They were no longer in a hurry like they were yesterday when their butts were burned by fire. They returned to the cave five minutes earlier.
After today's observations, the four of them had a general understanding of the cold and hot worlds.
It is hot for eleven hours and cold for eleven hours every day. There is a two-hour safe period when the high and low temperatures alternate in the early morning.
There doesn't seem to be any danger at the moment.
After today's verification, Shi Jiaojiao and the other three were a little excited.
After the safe period, they can go out at least once a day.
God knows these past few months have almost driven me crazy!
Wang Jia said excitedly: "Tomorrow is the safe period, do you want to come over and play cards?"
Shi Jiaojiao asked curiously, "What brand?"
Tang Wei added: "Mahjong, this is what Jia Jia and I found when it was extremely cold, and we have never been willing to throw it away. We thought that since there are four of us in total, it would be just enough to make up the number, but then there was white fog and polar day."
Shi Jiaojiao didn't have any objection. The four of them getting together and talking could help to ease their emotions.
Mu Ci had even less objection, as he always did whatever Jiaojiao said.
In this way, the four of them decided on the card game for the next day.
Even the high temperature during the day and the low temperature at night could not affect everyone's good mood.
Now that the four of them have figured out the temperature handover time and the safe period, the next step is to resume their daily routine.
The four of them stayed up all day without sleeping.
By seven o'clock in the evening, everyone was so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, and they all quickly climbed into bed to date Zhou Gong.
At four-fifty the next morning, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci got up early and turned off the heating in their home.
As soon as five o'clock arrived, the two rushed out of the cave.
This card game was held in Wang Jia's cave. Shi Jiaojiao had too many things and it was troublesome to clean them up. Plus, if Wang Jia and the other person came over, Xiao Hei would have to be taken out.
She was a little reluctant, so she chose Wang Jia's house.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wang Jia and Tang Wei had already set up the table.
At this time, don't even think about using the mahjong machine. You're lucky if you can put together a set of mahjong.
Mu Ci took out two bags of corn kernels and gave one to Shi Jiaojiao as bargaining chips.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei had no corn kernels, but they had dried soybeans.
This is the most suitable chip, you can eat it if you win.
Shi Jiaojiao had never played cards before, but there is a saying that goes, newcomers have good luck.
It’s okay if she can’t win, she just stares at Xiaoqi to win.
In order to make his girlfriend happy, Mu Ci kept feeding her cards.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia knew how to play cards, but they couldn't resist the luck that only newbies have, and there was someone next to them who kept giving away the cards.
After a game of mahjong, Shi Jiaojiao actually won a huge sum of money.
It was already six forty at this time, and Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci did not stay any longer. They happily went home with the chips they had won.
Of course Shi Jiaojiao didn't care about these beans and gave them to the little robot when she got back.
Add a little salt and fry the soybeans until they are crispy and crunchy, and the corn kernels can be made into popcorn.
Make them all into small snacks, and then take them to share with good friends during the safe period the next day.
The emergence of the safe period has also made the city, which had been quiet for several months, lively again.
Officials also encourage survivors in shelters to go out and look for supplies during the safe period.
Although locusts eat up everything they can when they pass through, there are always things that they cannot chew.
Even if you don't need these materials yourself, you can take them to the supply and marketing cooperatives for exchange.
When there are a lot of people, conflicts are bound to occur.
The thief and the robber are back again.
But those who survived to this day are all tough guys, so for a while, a lot of lives were lost in the city.
The authorities can do nothing about this.
Originally, when the white fog appeared, the shelter had basically been completed.
This base is not just about building a few houses. The materials used in the various buildings and the site selection, every aspect has been carefully considered.
The authorities plan to transfer the survivors in batches.
But the subsequent polar day disrupted the official plan, so the migration can only be carried out after the polar day ends.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't know the official plan, and she was worried about something these days.
That means Mu Ci’s birthday is coming soon.
Mu Ci’s birthday is only half a month earlier than mine.
She forgot about it in the first year of the apocalypse. It wasn't that she didn't care, but she even forgot her own birthday. At that time, her mind was full of the shadows of her past life, so she had no time to care about anything else.
She did prepare in advance the next year, but Mu Ci only wanted to live with her in the space, so he did not bring Wang Jia and Tang Wei along.
This year is Mu Ci’s third birthday in the apocalypse, but it is also their first birthday after they became a couple.
Shi Jiaojiao had been thinking about it for several days and planned to give Mu Ci a surprise.
But after searching the space, she found nothing useful, so she decided to learn from Wang Jia.
Of course, this kind of thing couldn't be discovered by Mu Ci, so the two of them met alone during the safe period under the pretext of a sister gathering.
Mu Ci and Tang Wei, who was kicked out of the house, sat together, looked at each other, and both remained silent.
Wang Jia on the other side looked at Shi Jiaojiao, who was full of distress, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He waved his hand, and when the other party came closer, he slowly said: "If you can't think of a gift, you can think of yourself as a gift."
Shi Jiaojiao's face turned red after hearing this.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Is this even a solution?
