Chapter 349 Food
"We, we have escaped now?"
On the road, Matthew still couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at everything around him and felt that his vision was broad and life was infinitely good.
Bifang hummed lightly and concentrated on driving.
There was no electricity in the whole city, there were no street lights on the roads, and the roads were littered with garbage and scrapped vehicles. You needed to stay alert to avoid falling asleep.
The entire escape process took only about half an hour, but it consumed much more energy than a normal half an hour. However, at eight o'clock in the evening, Bifang was already drowsy.
There are no tall buildings in the industrial zone. Perhaps there were people passing through the original Yeyi Gate, but now it is deserted and the buildings stand in the night like black boulders.
Half an hour later, Bifang parked the car in a deserted parking lot, turned off the headlights, and the surroundings became completely dark.
Having experienced being attacked before, Matthew now felt that darkness brought him an infinite sense of security.
In the dark, looking at the light outside the window, it is not easy to be discovered, but it is easy to discover others.
Of course, the main reason is that there is a big boss around him, who can break out of the siege even when surrounded by dozens of people. He is more like the protagonist in the movie.
Bifang glanced at Matthew who was lying on the seat and grinning foolishly, ignored him, and started tinkering with the drone.
Many people feel safe in the dark. When the light is dim, people's visual sensitivity drops to a very low level, and many subtle expressions and behaviors cannot be seen by each other. Therefore, people don't need to pay too much attention to the details of their own behavior, which is more conducive to relaxation.
Especially now, having just escaped capture, my nervous mood was relieved at once and I could even laugh out loud while sitting.
Gurgle~ Matthew’s smile froze and he sat up awkwardly.
He was not Bifang, so how could he find food easily in the ruins? He hadn't eaten for a whole day after escaping from the lost supplies, and his stomach was rumbling with joy.
"There are biscuits in the backpack on the back seat. Go and find some to use as a cushion. I'll bake the remaining half of the fox later."
"Hmm."
Matthew wanted to be polite, but felt it was inappropriate in this situation, so he thanked him, pulled the backpack from the back seat, unzipped it and looked through it.
There was really everything in there, including newspapers, sponges, alcohol, medicines, iron sheets, a dagger, half a fox wrapped in a plastic bag, fox skins, and several small bottles that looked like seasonings.
Matthew unscrewed one and smelled it, then dipped his little finger in it to taste it.
Well, it's sugar.
If I remember correctly, I've only been here for two days? How come I found so many supplies?
Seasonings, biscuits, fox, and pigeon eggs are enough supplies for two days. It's exaggerated.
Matthew wondered if Bifang could perform even more exaggerated actions if given enough time.
Finally, he found a pile of biscuits from the bottom and couldn't wait to open the package and eat them. While eating, he looked at Bifang and saw him holding a drone and operating something. After a series of operations, he released the drone again.
It seems like some message was sent?
"What were you doing?"
"Send a message."
"You don't want to save people? Aren't you still the one who comes to me?"
Bifang looked at Matthew with a smile. The local government didn't do anything like saving people, but instead let him, a foreigner, go. It was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it. Making decisions on his own would easily cause unnecessary disputes.
It was okay to break out of the siege before, after all, it was for self-protection, but if you really want to save people, you must ask for permission.
Today’s drones are already loaded with many more plug-ins than when they were first launched, so it is no longer a problem to communicate with the platform and contacts individually, just to prevent problems like today’s.
Matthew was overjoyed when he heard this!
In his opinion, as long as Bifang agreed, the matter would be settled!
Waiting for information was a long process. Bifang pulled over his backpack, took out the half fox, opened the car door, and prepared to make a fire and barbecue.
When eating the fox, the hungry Bifang did not roast the whole thing, but cut it into small pieces. Later it began to rain, and he was in a hurry to go back home, so he did not roast the remaining half completely. It fell out halfway through roasting, and blood could be seen when the skin and flesh were torn open.
Matthew, with his mouth full, swallowed the biscuit, smelled the aroma of meat, and his mouth was watering.
He has never eaten fox meat before.
Bifang picked up some rags and dead branches that were easy to ignite, took out a newspaper, tore off a piece, poured a small spoonful of potassium permanganate into it, added a few drops of car antifreeze, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the flammable material.
Matthew has a lighter, but Bifang feels that he should teach everyone something.
Matthew was stunned by this process . He did not watch the live broadcast after Bifang, so he was naturally not aware of this method of ignition.
"Is this all right?"
Bifang did not answer. Facts proved that this method was highly efficient. Within a few seconds, wisps of green smoke rose up, and then the newspaper was ignited and a flame spread to other flammable materials. A blazing bonfire appeared in front of everyone in less than two minutes.
The netizens laughed at Matthew's appearance, as if they had traveled through time and space and saw their past selves from a third-person perspective.
【Fans’ real reactions.jpg】
【So this is what I really look like】
[Exactly the same! ]
[This is really amazing, so cool, just wrap something in newspaper, throw it, and the fire will come out, so cool]
[We are going camping the day after tomorrow, I want to show off too! ]
Bifang impaled the remaining half of the fox on a branch and let the flames lick the fox meat for a long time. Fat dripped down, but Bifang did not waste it and caught it in a small cup. He then cut the meat with a dagger, sprinkled salt on it, and sprinkled biscuit crumbs on it for seasoning. He then gave half of it to Matthew.
Matthew took out another knife and inserted it into the fox meat. He watched the salt slowly melt under the high temperature and seep into the flesh. His index finger moved and he started to bite it without caring about the heat.
"Huff, huff, it's so woody, but it smells so good!"
After not having eaten fresh vegetables and meat for a long time, Matthew ate the fox meat with gusto, even though it was not as delicious as he had imagined. He felt that his life had reached its peak.
"Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you. There are also pigeon eggs."
"Well, huh?"
Matthew, who was enjoying his meal, was stunned. Fox and pigeon eggs, didn’t this mean that most of the supplies would be eaten?
He hurriedly swallowed the fox meat in his mouth and asked, "Aren't you going to keep it? Today is only the second day, right? Aren't there still several days to go?"
"You need to conserve your energy."
Bifang said calmly, if nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will launch a rescue operation tomorrow. Of course, they have to adjust their condition to the best, and naturally there is no need to save any resources. Just eat as much as you can and eat well as you can.
After today's meal, Bifang's condition will basically return to normal and there will be no impact.
"I see!"
Matthew suddenly realized and stopped worrying about the supplies . He ate the meat with big mouthfuls, not even leaving out the bone residue. He roasted it over the fire, and ate it as biscuits after it was crispy.
Bifang found a long and flat stone nearby, wiped it first, then poured water on it and rinsed it twice. After cleaning it, he placed it on the fire.
After all the moisture on the surface of the stone slab evaporated, Bifang waited for a moment, put his hand on the stone slab to test it, and after feeling the rolling heat wave, he poured the fox fat he had just collected on the stone slab and brushed it, and a smell of smoke spread out.
"Although eating raw is the most nutritious option, we still have to pursue something in life. We should not miss the chance to prepare something delicious. After all, there are not many opportunities. In addition, food is also a way to have fun in the midst of hardship on the road to survival. It helps us maintain a happy mood and is also helpful for the next action."
Seeing that Bifang talked about eating so openly, Matthew secretly gave him a thumbs up.
The pigeon eggs were poured out of the bottle and tapped gently. The transparent egg liquid and golden yellow flowed out from the cracks in the shell and fell on the sizzling fat.
“Sizzle~”
The egg liquid quickly denatures and bubbles under high temperature, and the transparent egg white begins to turn white.
Soon, the distinct yellow and white fried eggs took shape, and a unique egg aroma wafted in the air.
Matthew was completely overwhelmed, and the audience was simply stunned.
Is this still survival? Are you sure it's not some outdoor food show?
Your hidden profession is a five-star hotel chef, right?
It’s incredible that just a few ingredients can create something so tempting!
[Fuck, slate fried eggs! The fox oil fried eggs are really amazing, I think I should try it. ]
[It’s over, it’s over, I’m so hungry, I want to eat fried eggs, I won’t get up if you don’t give them to me, I want to eat, woo woo woo. ]
[Damn, a late night food show? I'm hungry just because of you, you're not a human being! ]
[I can't believe you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed the revolution. Are you using this to test the cadres?]
【I want to challenge my weak spot. 】
[Haha, everyone is so active. I just fainted after being exploited by the capitalists for 17 hours straight. I just woke up and wanted to watch Fang Shen’s live broadcast to relax, but I ended up getting hungry.]
The fried eggs were quickly finished, and Bifang used a dagger as a spatula to scoop out the eggs and handed them to Matthew.
There were no bowls and chopsticks, so Matthew took it carefully with a fruit knife. Looking at the fried egg that looked like a little sun, he actually couldn't bear to eat it.
He took a bite of the fried egg and tears silently flowed in his heart.
The fried egg was cooked to perfection, with a light aroma of meat and fat. It wasn't delicious enough to make you cry, but after escaping death, it was a great treat to eat a hot fried egg in the ruins of the city.
It’s enough to bring tears to one’s eyes.
