Today is our second day in detention.
There was no food and no water.
It's already noon, and to conserve our energy, we all lean against the wall and don't move. Although we're hungry, at least we can hold on.
Fei Lichao remained lying there, motionless, and many times I even thought he was dead.
Jingjie had her eyes closed, her breathing was slow, and her lips were pale; she looked very tired and hungry.
Hu Fei and I are in a better situation.
Hu Fei, standing beside me, said, "Hey, are those bastards really going to starve us to death?"
I sneered, "Maybe they don't just want us to starve. Do you know what happens when a group of cats are locked in a room without food?"
Hu Fei frowned. "How is it?"
I glanced at the clear sunlight streaming through the window and said, "Let's eat each other until only one is left, and then starve to death."
Hu Fei suddenly swallowed, which scared me a little.
We can actually get through the hunger now, but if we go more than three days without food or water, problems will arise. In addition to hunger, we might also experience mental health issues, which would be serious.
"I want to eat fried chicken," Hu Fei said. "I want to drink cola..."
I closed my eyes and stopped him, saying, "Stop talking, I'm hungry..."
Ignoring me, Hu Fei continued, "I want to eat braised pork, I want to eat roast duck, I want to eat A-Neng noodles!"
Upon hearing these words, Fei Lichao jumped up from the mat, rushed over, grabbed Hu Fei by the collar, and cursed with red eyes, "If you say that stuff again, believe me, I'll eat you alive!"
Ignoring Fei Lichao, Hu Fei said plaintively, "I can't eat..."
Fei Lichao left him there, went back to his place, lay down, and said, "I have experience with going hungry. I trained with a dozen or so comrades back in the day. So you guys better not think about anything right now, get all those thoughts out of your heads, and go to sleep to conserve energy!"
After he finished speaking, no one responded.
I understand what he means, but we're not soldiers after all, we haven't been trained, and it's hard for us to endure this feeling of hunger.
But even if we can't hold on any longer, we have to keep going, because the people outside won't let us out.
I closed my eyes, trying my best not to think about food.
I thought carefully about what Sister Yu and Zhang Long said.
They captured us, certainly not to starve us to death like this. Although this way of dying is painful, they probably aren't that bored.
Huo Cheng is a vengeful person. Last time, Hu Fei and I ruined his enjoyment of watching the show, so he will definitely retaliate against us and won't let us starve to death like this.
If that's the case, then he must have a purpose in starving us.
Perhaps it's to make us starve to a certain degree, so that we'll beg him, and his vanity will be satisfied.
If that's the case, then this matter will be much easier to handle.
I hope my idea this time is correct, otherwise I'll really starve to death here, it would be too frustrating.
No, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. I should just go to sleep.
I lay on the ground, curled up, trying to fall asleep.
But I just can't sleep!
I lay there with my eyes open until nightfall.
The people of Huocheng remained silent.
It's already the second night, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I licked my lips and found that they were chapped.
I gripped the scalpel tucked into my sleeve, silently vowing to myself, "I must kill them! Kill them all!"
...
On the morning of the third day, I woke up early because I was hungry.
Actually, I barely slept last night because I was too hungry and couldn't fall asleep. Even when I did fall asleep, I kept having dreams and waking up and falling asleep repeatedly. It was a very painful night.
It's early morning now, and I can feel that my body is in worse shape than yesterday.
Yesterday, at least I could stand up and look out the window.
But now, even sitting up is difficult.
I was panting heavily when I suddenly heard a noise behind me.
Looking back, I saw the small window suddenly open, and a fragrant roast chicken was brought in from outside. The aroma instantly woke me up.
I stumbled to the runway window, then grabbed the roast chicken without a word and started gnawing on it.
That delicious taste was just so amazing.
I don't know how to describe this roast chicken. All I can say is that it's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!
But soon, I found that after taking two bites, the roast chicken was gone.
I stared blankly at the empty plate in front of me, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, my stomach started growling. What should I do? I'm so hungry! I want to eat more!
"Ugh!" In an instant, I came to my senses.
Was that just a hallucination?!
I turned to look at the small window and found that it was still the same as before, the railings were still there, but there was no roast chicken anywhere.
I gave a wry smile; it seemed I really was hallucinating.
I glanced at the others and saw that Hu Fei kept licking his lips. I wondered if he was hallucinating like me.
Fei Lichao remained lying motionless, and Sister Jing's face remained pale.
Time ticked by, and it was agonizing.
If this continues, we'll definitely become dehydrated.
...
The third day passed very slowly, but if you just persevere, it will eventually get through.
...
On the morning of the fourth day, we were completely exhausted.
Just then, the security door to the equipment room opened.
