Surprise Hotel
Chapter 70 Canned Dead Bite
"Guru."
Lu Xing yelled impolitely from his stomach.
Old Jason smiled and turned to the refrigerator to get some food.
The so-called "refrigerator" is actually a storage cabinet made by him with iron sheets, 3D printed plastics, and some refrigeration circuits.
When Old Jason returned, he had an extra box of cans and a bottle of purified water in his hand.
Lu Xing licked his dry lips, took the food, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water.
The taste of the water was strange, and he couldn't help frowning.
"It may be worse than the water in the city-state, but it is already very good for us. After the end, most of the rivers on the land have disappeared, and this water is filtered and distilled by seawater. Liu Minying’s technology is limited, and we have tried our best to neutralize the radiation." Old Jason sat down opposite him, "You will just take a moment."
"It's okay, it's good. In an era of scarce resources, it would be good if there were." Lu Xing put down the water bottle and opened the aluminum lid of the can.
The meat mixed with thick soup is lying on the bottom of the pot. Although it doesn't look fresh, it's hard to get a meal of meat at this time.
He dug a piece of canned meat with a spoon and put it in his mouth.After chewing, he tasted a hint of crab meat.
After swallowing the food, he pointed to the can and asked Old Jason, "Is this thing made of crab meat?"
"Crab?" Old Jason waved his hand after hearing it, "It's dead meat."
Death bite!
I just fought against that hideous and ugly creature not long ago. When he thought that he was eating their meat at this moment, Lu Xing's stomach couldn't help turning over, almost vomiting the bite of food.
"Sorry, you may not be used to this kind of food, but this is already the best food in my place." Old Jason apologized, "There is really nothing to eat on the wasteland."
"Then what do you usually eat?" Lu Xing asked.
"Capsules for hunger." Old Jason took out a small bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the lid and poured out two blue capsules, one of which was stuffed into his mouth, and the other was handed to Lu Xing.
"What is this?" Lu Xing was very curious.
"I know that a person of your status and status must have never seen food of the lower class. There are some biological extracts, enough to sustain life activities, but not too many nutrients. One pill can be full. Eight hours."
"Well, then I'll eat this thing." Lu Xing put the can aside and took the capsule with pure water.
"Are you sure you don't eat this canned food..." Old Jason's eyes were dim.
"The blood on my body was eaten to death. It's disgusting, I can't eat it."
"It's wasted if you open a can without eating it. In recent years, it's not easy to catch the dead bite. It's getting harder and harder to eat meat." Old Jason picked up the box of canned food and delivered it to his mouth spoon by spoon. Eat with relish, "Don’t waste, don’t waste..."
Lu Xing looked at him with a sore nose inexplicably.
He stopped looking at him, got up and walked to the window, looking towards the busy street, to divert his attention.
"Are there any other foods? You can eat some instant noodles or compressed biscuits."
Old Jason gobbled up the box of cans and wiped his mouth unconsciously. "When the end comes, some of the captive animals and food crops on the ground have been transferred to the underground city. Although there are specialized technicians for artificial reproduction, The output is still very low. In the end, whether it is raising poultry, eggs or grain stocks, they are all in a state of emergency. A few hundred years ago, scientists developed hunger capsules that allowed the people in the underground city to survive the famine. Now only Only the high-ranking people in some big city-states have the right to taste the fresh meat and grains specially provided by the dungeon. As for the wasteland, no matter what kind of organisms are, they have been alienated under radiation. Now the atmosphere has finally entered into In the artificial restoration stage, cosmic rays are blocked, but without the sun, it is still difficult to grow plants. Therefore, this is not a problem faced by Liuminying alone, but a problem faced by all mankind."
"It will be all right."
Lu Xing didn't know how to comfort him, so he said something like this.
Everyone knows it will get better. When the war subsides, the situation stabilizes, and resources slowly recover, everything will gradually get better.It's just that no one can say when this situation will be reached.
Old Jason cleaned up the desktop and put on a repairman's uniform.
"I'm going to repair the mecha. If you feel bored, you can go to the black market in the refugee camp. There are all kinds of interesting but not very new things. If you have tradable items on your body, you can also exchange it. Some objects of interest."
Before leaving, he explained to Lu Xing.
Lu Xing's gaze passed through the glass window, over the crowded street, and landed on the conspicuous cone-shaped building.
A few minutes later, his figure appeared on the opposite side of the street, standing in front of the majestic building.
This pyramid is more than 20 meters high, which is roughly equivalent to the height of a six-story bungalow in the time he lived.
Apart from a few guards, there is no access control here.No identity verification, no entry voucher.
Here, Lu Xing saw a kind of freedom.
Everyone is in a relaxed state when entering and exiting. Most of their shoulders carry a package, which is a bargaining chip they use to replace other items.
Only Lu Xing walked in with nothing, like a master who went to the market but didn't buy anything.
black market.
Since ancient times, this title has symbolized a place where certain irregular items are traded.
However, today's wasteland has no laws that can restrain everyone.
The camps are their own factions, and in their territories, the words of the highest leader are the living regulations of the city-state residents.
There are no rules in the refugee camp, but everyone is silently observing certain rules.
Otherwise, this place would have become a battlefield for fighting, smashing, looting and burning.
This was beyond Lu Xing's expectation, and he couldn't help but remind him of the chaotic but chivalrous martial arts arena.
The refugees here are inferior untouchables in all camps, but in Lu Xing's view, they are more humane.
After entering, there is a layered open space.
Starting from this floor, there is a dazzling array of goods exchanges, and there are stalls full of goods on both sides of the passage.
Lu Xing raised his eyes and looked up and found that the things here were really not ordinary.
It ranges from electric toothbrushes and toothpicks to weapons and mechanical exoskeleton.There are daily necessities, food and drinking water, clothes, and game consoles for relieving boredom... everything is available in all sizes.
And the way of trading is also very primitive, take what they bring and exchange it with the stall owner.Take what you need, in order.
