The bun on the table was a bit cold in the middle, and the back of the fried egg was a bit burnt. How long has it been, this feeling of facing an empty dining table alone. The person who always served him delicious breakfast was now hospitalized. The doctor said she was temporarily out of danger, but it would take a while for her to wake up.
The gunshot wound caused acute inflammation, and the blood loss made her body weak to the extreme, causing her to have a high fever.
Two days had passed, and she still showed no signs of waking up.
When he thought about her haggard face, Jiang Chen felt a stab of pain in his chest.
He took a bite of the bun with the fried egg and frowned.
He silently put the fried egg and the half-cooked bun back on the plate, took the plate back to the kitchen, and dumped the food that was as bad as his mood. He opened the fridge and took out the frozen pizza, put it on the plate, and stuffed it into the microwave.
Jiang Chen returned to the table with the hot pizza, turned on the TV without any expression, then used a fork to pick up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth.
He didn't feel like eating, so he tried to focus his anxious attention on the TV.
The TV was playing the morning news.
The scene happened to be the gunfight on the street the day before yesterday, and the silhouette of the Iron Man suspended by the helicopter.
A UA military expert who didn't want to be named commented that this type of armor had little practical value on the battlefield. Sacrificing stealth to increase its defense might be enough to defend against bullets from normal weapons, but it was useless against anti-material sniper rifles or recoilless cannons. Infantry and tank cooperation could completely make up for the weakness of infantry in defense. There was no need to spend a lot of money to develop this "useless" armor …
Some experts questioned the authenticity of the video, and questioned why the helicopter crew didn't cut the cable and drop the metal object on the ground. (The video didn't capture the flying power armor.)
As to the effect of the modern world's anti-material rifle on the power armor, Jiang Chen didn't try it, but it shouldn't be able to penetrate it. Since the power armor could withstand a few shots from the sniper rifle in the apocalypse.
The TV was a great way to kill time. While watching TV, he mechanically stuffed the pizza into his mouth and quickly finished his breakfast.
He put the plate into the dishwasher, looked at the time, and planned to go back to sleep.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Xia Shiyu.
"I saw the news … Are you okay over there?" Xia Shiyu asked worriedly.
She obviously didn't know that the male lead of the news was Jiang Chen.
"I'm fine." Jiang Chen forced a smile and tried to use a calm tone.
"Your voice makes me worried. Do you have a cold?" Xia Shiyu frowned.
"Nope. By the way … you should have arrived in Xiangjiang yesterday. I had something to do, so I couldn't call to greet you. Sorry. "
"No, it's nothing. I don't really care. "Xia Shiyu blushed and coughed to hide the panic in her heart.
Jiang Chen's words reminded her of the kiss at the airport.
She did not know what kind of courage she had at that time. When she got off the plane in Melbourne, her heart was still beating wildly.
"The selection of the closed beta players has been completed. They will arrive in early July. You can host them then." Xia Shiyu changed the topic.
"Mhmm, leave it to me." Jiang Chen didn't notice Xia Shiyu's thoughts as he nodded.
"What about Ayesha? Is she okay? "
"… She's still sleeping." Jiang Chen told a lie that was neither true nor false.
Xia Shiyu paused for a moment. She felt a bit sour and jealous, but there was nothing she could do. She also knew that once she left, the two would definitely live a shameless life.
But she didn't want to torture herself to think about it.
"Okay. You … Mhmm, control yourself. "
Jiang Chen paused for a moment as he felt the jealousy spreading across the ocean. He couldn't help but smile.
"Control what?"
"Control that, that."
"Which is that?" Jiang Chen pretended not to know.
"That, that …" Xia Shiyu's face turned red as her lips trembled. After a while, she squeezed out a word. "Pervert!"
Beep —
[This girl hung up the phone.]
Jiang Chen shook his head and put away his phone.
He didn't expect that in such a short time, his mood would improve a lot, and he would pull himself together again.
"I'll go see Ayesha … Mhmm, it's almost the end of the month. Should I go to the warehouse first and move the food-" Jiang Chen suddenly stopped.
The apocalypse.
Right, the apocalypse! He forgot about that!
Jiang Chen slapped his forehead and quickly walked out the door.
…
Rice, soybeans, flour, and other grains were piled into a small mountain. There was also fresh meat, salted meat, and all kinds of canned food. Together with the dairy products and salt, the cost of this batch of goods was over half a million USD. Some of the food came from the Xinlong Food Processing Plant that moved to Pannu Islands, and some came from the farms that signed a supply contract with Australia.
As the amount of goods increased, Jiang Chen hired a part-time manager in Australia to work with Cassan, who was eating sugar cane at the door. He was responsible for making sure the goods were filled on the second last day of the month.
After spending ten minutes to sweep the warehouse full of food to the apocalypse, Jiang Chen returned to the mansion in the apocalypse. He found Lin Lin and explained his intention.
"Ayesha? Is it the girl I saw last time? "Lin Lin pressed her finger against her lower lip as she thought.
"Mhmm. She's injured and is still unconscious. Is there any all-purpose medicine? "Jiang Chen said.
"There is no all-purpose medicine." Lin Lin rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen. "It's troublesome if we don't know where the injury is, especially if it's in the brain …"
"It's not the brain." Jiang Chen shook his head. "It's a gunshot wound. But because of excessive blood loss, the wound reopened, and bacterial infection … Mhmm, and lack of oxygen."
Lin Lin was shocked when she heard Jiang Chen's words. [How severe is the injury?]
[But it's okay.]
[It's all external injuries. If it doesn't involve the brain, it shouldn't be too difficult to treat.]
"Smart medical chamber. I remember there are seven or eight in the community center of the base. That thing is very effective in repairing normal damage to human tissues. Based on the severity of the injury, you'll be fine after soaking in it for a period of time. I have to say, just how backward is the medical conditions there? "Lin Lin couldn't help but complain.
"You'll know if you check the history books."
As he said this, Jiang Chen's anxious heart relaxed.
He didn't know there was such a good thing in the base. It was too careless of him. He always heard of people being injured in the base, but he didn't see any patients recovering in bed. It turned out there was such an advanced treatment method.
"Note, before lying in the medical chamber, you need to pour in a special nutrient solution. That should be in the base's warehouse. Don't forget. "
"Thank you," Jiang Chen said.
"You're welcome. Bring me some mango pudding next time —"
At this time, Lin Lin suddenly covered her mouth and coughed.
Shocked by her sudden movement, Jiang Chen asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, there may be a small problem in the past few days … Maybe it'll be fine after a while." Lin Lin avoided Jiang Chen's gaze and said perfunctorily.
"What's the problem? Tell me." Jiang Chen grabbed Lin Lin's shoulder and looked into her eyes with different colors.
Lin Lin blushed under the "scorching" gaze. She twisted her body and removed her blushing face.
"It's getting hotter, dummy."
"Hotter?"
Jiang Chen asked in confusion, but he didn't get a response.
Lin Lin, with her head buried, blushed, pushed him out the door without any explanation.
