"Be careful." The class leader warned me while I was cutting the bag with a knife, "There's a thin film on the inside of the foam. When it comes into contact with metal and oxygen, it will dissolve. Don't cut too deep or you'll damage the contents."
I tried my best to cut open the first bag. Unfortunately, I didn't find any chocolate inside, but there were some colorful calcium tablets. I wasn't sure if they were actually nutritious or not.
Other than the calcium tablets, there were also six packets of microwave popcorn. Although there was no electricity or microwave after the destruction of the civilization, the popcorn bags contained dried corn kernels, so they could be used to make corn porridge. It was a good thing for everyone.
In addition, since the outside of the bunker was a world of ice and snow, it could be used as a natural freezer. Therefore, there was no need to keep a portion of the survival packs in a "sealed" state. I cleanly cut open the other 4 survival packs and found the following valuable items:
6 bags of salt, a dozen ham sausages, 10 cans of luncheon meat, four pairs of gloves and socks.
"The salt was a great help." The class leader happily extended her hand towards me, "Give me the salt, I'll store it in the sealed jar on the lower level."
After the class leader left with the salt, Winnie came closer to inspect the spoils of war. Xiao Yin had just woken up and didn't seem very interested, but Gong CaiCai curiously watched from afar.
"What's this? Chewing gum? " Winnie found a flat, square cardboard box. She thought it was some sort of flashy item, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was a box of condoms.
"Ah … you can keep this." Winnie turned around and stuffed the box of condoms into Gong CaiCai's hands.
At first, Gong CaiCai also thought it was chewing gum, but after she used her cracked glasses to examine it, she immediately panicked.
"Why are you giving it to me?" Gong CaiCai dropped the box of condoms on the ground as if she had touched a piece of burning coal.
"Do you even need to ask?" Winnie glanced at me with evil intentions, "If he goes crazy and wants to push you down again, you can at least reduce the damage by carrying this with you, right?"
"I, I don't want this." Gong CaiCai said shyly but firmly, "Ye Lin classmate already promised not to do anything bad to me. He even wrote me a guarantee last time."
"Wow, you actually believe a man's promise!?" Winnie picked up the condom box and stuffed it into her pocket. "If you don't want it, I'll take it. It might come in handy."
According to my memories of selling adult products in Dong Shan city, condoms aren't just used for contraception. They can also be used to wrap important documents so they don't get soaked in the rain, or put on shoes to increase friction.
Winnie, however, seemed to have kept the condom box for its most primitive use. She ate the ham sausage in an unladylike fashion at lunch when we sat around the table to eat it with polenta, and the more I watched her, the more excited she became.
"Winnie, eat your food and don't do anything funny." The class leader reminded.
"What's the big deal?" Winnie finished the ham sausage in a few bites and retorted, "Our daily life is the same as the previous day, it's so boring! I might as well die if I have to follow the meaningless rules you set up. "
"Is it a meaningless rule to focus on eating at the dining table to avoid indigestion?" The class leader asked in reply.
"It's meaningless to me." Winnie curled her lips, "My digestive system is fine! I just don't have enough food to eat! "
Speaking of food, I suddenly thought of the 'Yuslar' that I saw earlier today. It kept calling out 'fish, fish, fish'. What did this giant creature, which was obviously illogical, rely on to survive in this world of ice and snow? Would it be happy if I gave it the canned sardines stored in the bunker?
Yuslar might be weird, but I think my way of thinking is even weirder. I didn't think of avoiding such a giant creature, but feeding it as if it was a pet I once raised.
"Xiao Yin, can you smell Yuslar?" I casually asked Xiao Yin who had a small appetite.
Her golden pupils suddenly constricted and flashed with a beast-like glint.
"You saw it? What did it say to you? "Xiao Yin asked in a serious tone.
"It kept calling it 'fish fish fish', I don't know why, but it seems kind of pitiful …"
"It's not pitiful at all!" Xiao Yin slammed the table and everyone's utensils trembled. The class leader did not stop Xiao Yin's sudden outburst and only shook her head.
"Do you know what it is?" My curiosity was piqued, "Is it an intelligent creature like Miyazaki's' Totoro '?"
"Totoro eats chestnuts and not fish." Winnie interrupted.
"Don't ask!" Xiao Yin lost her temper, "No one knows what that thing is! Next time it appears, stay far away from it and be careful not to get eaten! "
"Also, I'm going to bathe in the hot spring, come down and bathe with me!"
The lower level of the bunker was connected to a natural cave. I soaked in the hot spring with the silver-haired loli there and even helped her wipe down her body.
Although my situation would cause a lot of otakus to be envious, but for me, I was doing these things with a heart that was trying my best to get rid of my carnal desires.
Also, I always felt that Xiao Yin's body gave me a sense of familiarity. It wasn't a sense of familiarity because we "slept together every night for an entire year", but it was a feeling of familiarity that seemed right but wasn't.
It seems I also used a towel to wipe down the water droplets on this body under other circumstances, but I can't remember when and where.
"Do you like eating fish?" I don't know why, but I suddenly asked Xiao Yin this strange question.
"Does, does it matter?" Xiao Yin put on her underwear in front of me and sat on a rock next to the hot spring waiting for me to come out.
After thinking for a few seconds, she twirled her hair with one finger and said: "I guess it counts as I don't hate eating fish …"
"Then what about cola and chips?" I was being controlled by an unknown emotion and continued to ask.
The heat rising from the surface of the hot spring distorted everything behind it. Suddenly, I seemed to see Xiao Yin's hair turn into two ponytails, but it returned to its original appearance in the blink of an eye.
"I'm tired." Xiao Yin didn't answer my question, she said with a tired expression, "I'm going to rest on the bed, help me up the stairs."
That night, I still slept on the same bed as Xiao Yin, but she seemed to be very tired. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed. I could only hear her soft breathing in the darkness.
I put my hands behind my head and rested my head on the pillow, thinking about the irrationality of this world, but I also fell asleep very quickly.
I also had a dream.
In the dream, a skinny middle-aged man with almost transparent pupils stood in front of a huge golden disk in the vast universe and repeated one sentence to me.
I couldn't hear it clearly, no, I couldn't hear it at all. It was like a silent film, his voice was blocked by something invisible.
I strenuously observed the shape of his lips, and finally realized that he was repeating this sentence over and over again — — "You must find your real name before you can leave!"
I sat up on the bed with my body covered in cold sweat. I recalled the dream and thought, "My real name is Ye Lin! Could it be that I have a hidden title like 'Supreme of Six Directions, Eight Desolation, Nine Skies, Ten Lands, and Three Realms'? "
It was dark outside the bunker, and the blizzard was howling. Any normal person would choose to stay indoors where it was warm.
But I quietly got up and put on my clothes. I only brought a tactical knife and a flashlight, and walked into the boundless night.
Oh right, there was also a can of sardines.
I wanted to find the fish I saw during the day, I always felt that I had an obligation to feed it fish. Even though a small can of sardines was not enough to fill the gap between its teeth, it was still better than not being able to eat fish at all.
It was even colder at night. I looked at the mountain road in the distance, but I didn't feel like I had shortened the distance by much. The battery of the flashlight was about to run out.
The clouds in the sky were too thick, and no moonlight could penetrate through. If the flashlight went out, then I would be in complete darkness.
But I still waited for a while in the direction of the mountain road, hoping that Yuslar, who really wanted to eat fish, would appear. Unfortunately, it didn't appear, and the flashlight went out.
"When I left, the flashlight still had a lot of battery … Why did it run out so quickly?"
I complained as I threw the can of sardines in the direction that Yuslar appeared, hoping that it had its own way of opening the can.
Thinking about it carefully, my behavior was quite stupid. Canned fish was a very important source of protein after the destruction of civilization. I carelessly threw it away and harmed the interests of the team.
If Yuslar wanted to, it could have gone to the mountain road to find the canned fish in the survival bag, and used force to tear open the survival bag, then used force to break the fish can. That way, it wouldn't need to greedily call for "fish", right?
Could it be that even a creature as large as Yuslar couldn't stand the smell of the survival bag? I obviously couldn't smell anything strange.
"Chi chi chi chi …"
I suddenly heard the sound of some animal running quickly in the snow behind me.
The reason why I could tell that it wasn't a human was because the frequency of its footsteps was too fast. It shouldn't be running on two legs, but on four legs.
I turned around with a bad feeling, only to discover that it wasn't even an animal.
What leaped past me was a four-legged spider robot the size of a basketball. Its movements on the snow were agile and light. There was a searchlight on its head, and with the light, I saw that the word "AM" was written on its shell.
Was it the model or the company? Before I could figure it out, it had already dashed thirty meters in front of me and picked up the can of fish that I had thrown from the snow. Then, it put it into the storage box in its abdomen. Then, it slowed down a lot and swaggered in front of me.
The sleek spider robot with a round appearance, very much like Apple's design, stopped in front of me and looked me up and down with its mechanical compound eyes.
I didn't know what it wanted to do, so I just stared at it. It seemed to be a collecting robot, and didn't seem to be equipped with any weapons.
However, without warning, it suddenly charged at me, raised its mechanical leg, and gave my right leg a head-on blow!
Damn it! I hugged my calf and squatted down. Then, I watched it sway left and right as it ran away in the snowstorm.
This robot took away the can of fish, and then kicked me … What the hell is going on?
