Chapter 4 Chapter 4 A glimmer of hope for people
No one doesn't want a more comfortable and livable living space.
Compared to the various strange floating objects that were transformed from common things that kept them alive at this time, the hatred value brought by lying on a particularly comfortable bed could obviously be directly maxed out.
Not to mention Chang Ruijia's unconcealed expression of satisfaction, which aroused the envy and jealousy of countless people around her.
When people are thrown blindly into an uninhabited sea, a person whose quality of life is obviously different from others is a template that attracts hatred even if he wants to keep a low profile.
It's just that no one wants to be the first to take action before they fully understand the situation.
On the sea, where only the sounds of wind and sobbing could be heard, the sky began to darken.
The arrival of night is actually not good news at this moment.
The fatigue of staying on the floating objects for a long time has begun to appear in everyone's body. Some people who can still curl up on the floating objects don't feel anything, but for those who can only struggle to maintain their balance on the floating objects, despair of life comes with the night.
There were already more than one sounds of people falling into the water.
After the first person who fell into the water disappeared inexplicably, not many people wanted to challenge the authority of the ocean anymore, but the current situation is not something they can solve whether they want to or not.
The uncontrollable fatigue made it impossible for them to maintain their condition. After trying desperately to persist, they could only drop the floating objects with despair in their eyes. Then, they seemed to be dragged to the bottom of the sea. Their figures were no longer seen, and even the struggle was rarely seen.
Some people really can't hold on any longer and are ready to give up on themselves.
As the night fell completely dark, the sounds of people falling into the water continued to ring out, which seemed particularly desolate amid the uncontrollable sobbing around them.
Feeling the ghostly atmosphere around her, Chang Ruijia didn't know what expression she should make. Perhaps for those people, being able to hold on until now was already the best they could do.
No one has the right to mock their tenacious spirit of persevering until this moment.
——
As the desolate atmosphere around her grew deeper and deeper, just when Chang Ruijia thought that the first night would be spent like this, a voice that sounded particularly surprising amid the sobbing suddenly rang out.
What's wrong? What happened again?
Chang Ruijia's heart, which had never dared to relax, suddenly became tense again. She hurriedly raised her eyes to look into the dark night.
However, with the faint moonlight at this time, coupled with the dark blue that seemed to rise from the depths of the sea, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the visibility over the entire sea surface was pitch black.
No matter how hard she tried to open her eyes and observe, she could not see what was happening where the sound came from.
But soon, Chang Ruijia began to understand why such a voice suddenly appeared.
That surprised voice seemed to have just started an outburst among the crowd, and soon there were exclamations one after another around her, and she suddenly discovered a strange energy from her body.
Faced with the unknown, Chang Ruijia originally wanted to refuse, but no matter how she tried, even if she used all her strength, she had no way to stop what was happening in her body.
It’s fucking fucked!
Chang Ruijia cursed inwardly. After the excitement during the day, she thought things would be a little calmer at night, but who knew such a domineering thing would suddenly appear.
It's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be driven away or thrown away.
After trying various methods without success, Chang Ruijia took a deep breath and lay back on her big bed.
It doesn't matter whether you live or die! When you are tired, destroy it!
Hurry up, she is in a hurry to reincarnate with those people before!
But soon, feeling the feedback from her body, Chang Ruijia suddenly understood why others exclaimed "eh" in surprise.
The fatigue brought by having been tense all day and being nervously prepared to deal with emergencies disappeared without a trace in an instant after that wave of energy swept through the whole body.
If she hadn't been blind and forced to float on the sea, unable to move, she would even feel that she could go out and run five kilometers, feeling full of energy.
Chang Ruijia's eyebrows moved, thinking of the despair that was just floating in the entire night sky, listening to the sobs that had now become much softer, she suddenly understood something.
Could it be that... this is the turning point for humanity in this crisis?!
The ability to instantly make people energetic can completely relieve all discomfort after a tiring day of clinging to floating objects. Isn't this a big bug?
But Chang Ruijia soon realized that she was still thinking too simply.
Because in the pitch-black night sky where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, after the surprised "eh" sounds passed, other unusual sounds were heard under the night sky.
The rustling sound always makes people feel extremely familiar.
Before Chang Ruijia could react to the voice, an overbearing fragrance suddenly drifted into her nose.
It’s spicy chicken!
Chang Ruijia suddenly understood what those sounds were. For people like them who hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, wasn't the aroma of this spicy chicken enough to make their mouths water?!
This smell is so fragrant that it can make people addicted!
Trying to smell the aroma wafting through the air, Chang Ruijia seemed to be able to imagine taking a bite of spicy chicken, the salty, savory, and spicy taste, the tender and juicy chicken, and the crunchy peanuts...
Raising her hand to wipe the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but swallow her saliva like everyone else.
Compared with this fragrant, spicy and overbearing taste, the white steamed buns that she had been longing for suddenly lost their competitiveness.
But how could such a familiar fragrance appear in a place like this?
Following the direction of the smell, Chang Ruijia looked over with almost confused eyes, but could only see pitch-black darkness.
After racking her brains for a long time, she finally remembered a clue.
In this direction... Chang Ruijia touched her chin hesitantly. If she remembered correctly, the first person she saw of the frying pan during the day was in that direction.
Could it be that there was some special connection between the spicy chicken and the frying pan? It was too dark, and without any other evidence, Chang Ruijia couldn't just come to a conclusion about her suspicions as she would during the day.
However, this fragrance also served as a reminder to her, giving her a perfect excuse to calmly fill her stomach without fear of being exposed.
Under the cover of the dark night and the outstanding taste of the spicy chicken, even the big, white, fragrant and soft steamed buns that people had not dared to touch before would not attract other people's attention.
Realizing this, Chang Ruijia no longer cared about the spicy chicken that she could smell but couldn't eat. She excitedly opened the Kan Yidao system and exchanged the steamed buns.
The world is big, but filling your stomach is the most important thing!
After daybreak, she might not dare to take it out openly.
Chang Ruijia took a deep sniff of the spicy chicken smell that was still lingering in the air, and then took a big bite of the steamed bun.
There was the smell of spicy chicken in the air, so it wouldn’t be a waste to keep it for dinner.
While eating, a new idea popped into Chang Ruijia's mind.
How boring it is to chew dry steamed buns!
She fumbled to pick up the life-saving kitchen knife beside her, carefully split the steamed bun in half horizontally, and poured the pickled mustard greens between the two slices of steamed bun.
Hahaha, burgers! Lao Chang’s secret Chinese-style mini burgers!
In order not to waste any of the hard work she put into exchanging permissions, Chang Ruijia was very stingy and poured out even the last bit of juice left in the bag without wasting a single bit.
The salty and fragrant pickled mustard greens juice soaked the dryness of the steamed buns, and paired with the crisp and refreshing pickled mustard greens, Chang Ruijia, who had been hungry all day, stuffed them all into her mouth one bite after another.
It was just that her overly hasty movements almost made her choke and roll her eyes. The half bottle of water that was left on the bed at some point in time saved her life.
Otherwise, she would have bitten the bullet on the steamed bun before she died in the doomsday crisis. What a blessing!
After finally catching her breath and her stomach couldn't hold any more food, Chang Ruijia lay back on her bed comfortably, enjoying the moment of peace.
Hey! She said that although she didn't know why other places would emit such a mouth-watering fragrance, when it came to resting comfort, no one could compare to the big bed under her!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to stay in bed for 24 hours a day, dragging the manuscript until the final deadline to complete it.
She was already very lazy to begin with, and ever since she bought this big bed, she had become even lazier, reaching a new level. Unfortunately, those days were probably gone forever.
Chang Ruijia turned over and sighed. In this situation where they didn't even know the future, who wouldn't want to work hard to survive? She couldn't afford to be lazy anymore.
While trying hard to think about the future, Chang Ruijia was attacked by sleepiness after eating and drinking. Finally, she could not bear the sleepiness after two days and one night without sleep, and fell asleep to the slow rise and fall of the waves.
In the dream, there seemed to be a free society like before. Although she didn't know why she was so happy about such common things, she was still happily immersed in the satisfaction in the dream, and the corners of her mouth slowly revealed the most satisfying smile of the night.
——
The next morning, Chang Ruijia was awakened by the dazzling light.
Directly towards the end of his bed, a fiery red sun slowly rose, leaped over the horizon, and hung in the clear sky.
Although still a little sleepy, Chang Ruijia felt that it would not matter if she woke up any earlier as she could witness such a spectacular sunrise.
As the sun slowly rose, many people around who were also asleep began to wake up.
Even if there were one or two people who were so sleepy that they had forgotten what was happening, they were completely awakened by the sudden screams around them.
Although I didn't know what time I fell asleep last night, because of the baptism of that strange energy, Chang Ruijia felt that she had no feeling of fatigue at all.
Originally, she thought that the people around her were the same as herself, because the baptism of the same energy had completely eliminated the fatigue in their bodies at the moment. However, as the painful wails gradually sounded in her ears, she realized that it seemed that was not the case at all.
Chang Ruijia looked around and saw more than once someone waking up from their small space with a grin on their face, rubbing their body in pain, probably because the part was numb from being pressed.
What's worse, every time a part of their body is touched, they will be instantly stimulated and shed tears, as if they were being tortured.
Noticing the look Chang Ruijia was giving them, the people grimaced and looked back in pain. When they saw the comfortable big bed under her, the envy and jealousy in their eyes became even more intense.
Compared to a floating object where you have to curl up, a bed where you can stretch out comfortably is so attractive!
If it weren't for the mysterious disappearance of those people who fell into the sea yesterday, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to control their impulse and would have jumped into the water to fight with Chang Ruijia for ownership of the bed.
But now, they have somehow entered the ranks of "superpowers", so naturally they have more reasons to comfort themselves.
What does it matter how comfortable the bed you slept in last night? You're just an ordinary person. Aren't you going to be drooling over your superpowers?!
Something is wrong!
Chang Ruijia, who was sure to be envious, looked at the mysterious smiles on other people's faces and wondered in confusion.
If not everyone was baptized by that energy, then where did the energy in her come from?
Suddenly remembering the source of the aroma of spicy chicken last night, Chang Ruijia looked in the direction of her memory, and as expected, she saw the remaining chili residue in the frying pan of the big brother.
It seemed that it was just as she had guessed. The aroma of spicy chicken came from her eldest brother as expected, but why did such a bowl of food appear out of nowhere?
Chang Ruijia's mind was full of questions for only a moment. Before she could look around and look away, she soon discovered that many people had things on them that she hadn't seen yesterday.
For example, yesterday I glanced at a woman lying in a courier box, and suddenly there was a mango core in her hand.
For example, yesterday she still sympathized with a man who was crouching in the cup, and there were two more glass-like objects in his hands, just like beer.
The frying pan man had spicy chicken in his hand, the delivery box woman had a fresh mango core in her hand, and the cup man had a beer in his hand...
Chang Ruijia only then realized that the things in their hands seemed to have a great connection with the floating objects under their bodies, exactly like the functions those items were supposed to have.
What is the function of the bed? Chang Ruijia suddenly realized that it is to allow people to have a good sleep and relieve all physical fatigue!
After figuring out these connections, she suddenly realized that there was no explanation more reasonable than this one.
