Chapter 20 The Joys of Staying Home
After a satisfying meal, Yu Miaomiao pulled Lu An into her private space, where they discussed how to unlock the "treasure trove" of the wealthy cinema manager.
Two cobblers, if put together, can make half a Zhuge Liang.
"Easy."
Lu An easily cut open the more than half-meter-thick alloy cabinet door with a water jet, creating a complete rectangle. He even polished the edges and corners to prevent Yu Miaomiao from cutting her hand when she touched the things inside. He also controlled the force so as not to damage the internal structure at all.
"6." Lu An seemed to be a self-taught student who skipped grades; while her peers were still learning 1+1, she had already taught herself calculus...
In my previous life, I had never seen many people wield water-based abilities so smoothly. Most water-based ability users serve as water resource replenishment for bases, and like spatial abilities, they belong to the survival type of abilities, with relatively weak combat capabilities.
Of course, the main reason is that everyone's superpowers were awakened suddenly, and they all found the right way to use them through trial and error.
Looking at the contents of the "treasure trove," the two became even happier.
All of these are imported medicines; it seems this wealthy person has quite a few underlying health conditions.
Various special drugs for the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, diabetes, etc., from a certain Hui or Rui Pharmaceutical... a whole warehouse full, good heavens!
They don't need these to exchange for sub-crystals, so they can just roam freely in the base!
It's important to understand that after the apocalypse, these medicines were almost completely depleted, making them extremely scarce. Providing such a large quantity at once could save many lives.
They also stockpiled a lot of medicine, mostly basic medicines and some special medicines. They only managed to get a few boxes of these hard-to-obtain special medicines.
Given the sheer quantity, they suspected the manager might be a drug dealer. No wonder a mere cinema manager harbored a whole room full of secrets.
But now that it's in their hands, we must plan and utilize it properly.
That night, everyone who went to search for supplies had a hearty meal.
Seeing that they had brought back a lot of supplies, Zhang Fengqiang gave them more food. Although it was mostly vegetarian snacks, it was a blessing for them, who hadn't had a proper meal in many days.
They couldn't win, so they had to compromise and live a life of ignominy, because only by staying alive could they seek development.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yuan Lixuan lay on the bed, his mind filled with lustful thoughts, his thoughts revolving around Yu Miaomiao's beautiful and delicate face.
Before the apocalypse, Gao would have probably watched the whole thing, but now...
My eyes lit up and I remembered the girl I touched this morning. Wasn't she living next door?
He was immediately seized by a thieving thought. As the night deepened, he could no longer restrain himself and slipped into the next room in the dark. Before going in, he glanced at He Liang, who was sleeping in the living room. Good, he didn't notice.
A few moments later, the sounds of a light struggle could be heard in the room, but they quickly subsided; the woman was clearly no stronger than the man.
Even if Yuan Lixuan only has one hand now, he can still pin someone down and do whatever he wants.
He Liang opened his eyes. It wasn't that he hadn't heard, but that he didn't want to see.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Lixuan pulled up his pants and returned to his room. Lin Miaorong lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with her numb eyes.
She hated it so much; everything she went through was the fault of that arrogant woman.
Yu Miaomiao was sleeping soundly, dreaming of picking mushrooms with the three little ones... How interesting!
Ever since her last trip to find supplies, Yu Miaomiao has refused any invitations from her tent neighbors.
They claimed publicly that she didn't eat much and didn't finish her food.
She has such a huge amount of supplies in that space, there's really no need for her to suffer like this. After the last time she disguised the supplies, she could have said she hadn't finished eating them and dragged it out for ten days or half a month.
Moreover, the recent extreme cold weather has intensified, and going out is like risking one's life. She and Lu An don't need to risk their lives; staying at home is the right thing to do.
Lu An is a restless person. Every day, in addition to urging Yu Miaomiao to exercise, he also cooks a variety of delicious meals.
The two even started eating grilled fish inside the house, becoming quite unrestrained.
Catch, kill, and roast them on the spot.
Rub the fish with salt to remove the fishy smell, make diagonal cuts on it to help it absorb the flavor, sprinkle with salt, pepper, scallions, ginger and garlic, and then pour in a little beer to marinate for 15 minutes.
Pan-fry both sides of the fish in a pan, then place celery and onions at the bottom, add the pan-fried fish, and pour on a fresh, fragrant, and spicy sauce. Of course, dried chili peppers are also essential, as everyone loves spicy food. When it's almost cooked, add your favorite side dishes such as shiitake mushrooms, tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts, and dried bean curd sticks, and sprinkle on a few lychees. This is their favorite way to eat it. The lychees enhance the aroma of the grilled fish, and the fragrance fills the air the moment the pan is opened.
The aroma was so strong that the three little ones paced around outside the kitchen in a panic.
"Human, share the good food!" Ma Jiang wagged its big tail, wiggling its rear end as well, gesturing to Lu An and Yu Miaomiao to fill their bowls as well.
Lu An poured them cat and dog food, and the three little ones' faces instantly fell. "We want to eat meat!" The children couldn't speak, but they were very anxious.
The two men laughed at the three dogs' anxious and frantic state. In the end, they opened a can of food for them, and the three dogs reluctantly resigned themselves to their fate, saying, "Okay, as long as there's meat, I'm fine."
There's enough pet food in the space to last them several lifetimes, so there's no need to be frugal. The main concern is that they might overeat and hurt their stomachs, so the daily supply is carefully controlled.
They could finally sit down and enjoy the food. The lychees absorbed the rich broth, and the combination of sweetness and spiciness was tender and smooth. The refreshing fruity aroma perfectly balanced the greasiness. What a pleasant day!
After dinner, Yu Miaomiao pulled Lu An into the space, mysteriously covering her eyes, and they couldn't stop at the hot spring pool.
Located in the newly expanded open space after the space upgrade, she created a leisure area. These days, whenever she has free time, she digs holes in the space, and finally it is completed.
Of course, I want to share this joy with my sisters.
"Ta-da! This is a new way to play in my space. Would you like to soak in the hot spring? It has been infused with rose petals and essential oils to wipe away your fatigue."
"want!"
