old light morning light

"Uh, so how am I supposed to eat this?"

Kalinin didn't answer me, just smiled and opened his can of indescribable.

After snapping off the lid, he put the body of the can aside, and began to lift the lid with his hands.

I had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, he bent the lid, pushed it in with his hand on any side, and made it into something like a small spoon.

Let's not talk about whether Wei is unhygienic, but this way...will you really not cut your mouth?
"Here."

He actually showed it to me triumphantly, and I didn't know how to complain.

"Very...very good, at least it's really convenient."

Curve inwards, and push one side up with your thumb, more like a triangular cone than a spoon.

"Gu~ Gulu!"

The rationality from the brain seemed to be dispelled by a higher order, and the instinct to maintain life slowly took over in the end.

Well, let me try and see what this thing really smells like.

At least when asked, it seems not bad...

"Suck it!"

Because I was afraid that this thing would cut my mouth, I only dared to take it farther away and tried to suck it into my mouth while pouring it.

This thing melts in the mouth, isn't it essentially a puddle of cooked starch?

As far as the taste is concerned, it’s nothing special, just a simple potato flavor with a little saltiness added, and the minced meat feels pink, and you can’t feel anything after a sip.

It seems to be more acceptable than expected.

Although it is not as cheap as the cheap meals in the Empire Dockyard, it seems to be better than the coarse dry food they distribute.

At least this thing seems to be really swallowable, and you don't even need to deliberately chew it, because it is essentially a puddle of relatively thick starch...or a kind of porridge.

Kalinin instigated and poached, and within the time I took two or three "spoonfuls" he already had a disc... light cans, and his actions can be said to be quite proficient.

It seems that I haven't eaten less of this stuff before.

"This is actually the civilian version of the emergency life-saving ration on the ship."

Seeing that I had already accepted this thing, Kalinin waved his hand, but I couldn't understand what he wanted to express with this gesture.

So the life-saving rations they equip warships are this kind of canned food?
Then the target is really the kind of ship-borne coarse grain biscuits of the empire...

It is true to say that such things almost do not need to consider storage conditions at all, and can be piled up in large quantities.

"The civilian version has an improved taste. Although there are not so many functional additives added, at least it retains the most basic function - to satisfy the hunger."

But this seems to be more scientific than the empire's, because it doesn't need to add additional water, not counting the water contained in the mud. Once the 380-gram can is opened, there should be 30ml of liquid that can be drunk directly.

"Oh, I have to mention that there is a type of relief ration equipped by the Rescue Association, which is the most unpalatable. There is no packaging or instructions throughout the article, only a big red cross printed on the tank."

"I haven't eaten it, but it is said that it tastes like stinky bark-flavored wax..."

What kind of description is this? It's hard for me to imagine that the person who made such a description might have actually eaten wax from smelly bark... At least he had to eat these two things separately, right? ?
"The hospital is ahead, so I won't follow you up."

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

When I walked to the gate of the hospital, I almost finished eating the can.

"Uh, it seems that there is nothing..."

"Oh yes, they still have my pistol, you have to help me get it back."

"no problem."

"Also, I seized a medium-grain rifle, can you also consider..."

cherry……?
Yes, cherries!

The logo on the guy's chest is a cherry!
"Don't think about it, you kid. The particle rifle is a standard high-power rifle. You just need to be honest..."

"cherry!"

"cherry?"

"What cherry?"

Kalinin held me down, who was about to jump up, and by the way, helped me calm down a bit.

"I don't know if it was a cherry or not, but I remembered he had a badge on his arm."

"Probably three playing cards... I forgot if it was three or not. Anyway, just a few playing cards are fan-shaped, just like we usually hold when we play cards, and then the middle card has a fruit printed on it." pattern."

"While not sure what exactly it was, my first impressions told me it was a cherry."

"The mark of a playing card, and then a cherry in the middle..."

After listening to what I said, Kalinin took out the terminal again, did not know what he did, and smiled evilly at me.

This guy, what are you doing...what are you doing?
"Okay, go back and rest first, I will help you get back the gun."

Kalinin, who hastily turned to leave, seemed to have found something, leaving only a handsome back and a dispensable farewell:

"Pay attention to your body and have a good rest."

Humph……

Why don't you let me drink more hot water?
Alas, the body is getting heavier and heavier again, eh...?
"Hurry up, pass on the bone Doppler from bed 3112, the replacement will be ready soon!"

Why so many people?

"Doctor, doctor..."

Three people pushed a stretcher and ran in front of me. I couldn't see the rest was covered by the quilt, but the hideous burn marks on the face looked quite scary.

It should be... the wounded from yesterday's attack, right?
This small school hospital has already been crowded.

It may not be meaningful to go back to the hospital now. Who would have the time to pay attention to me, a "fake" patient who can basically be discharged from the hospital if I don't kill myself and run around?

Although it is an operation of the degree of organ transplantation, it also comes from the catalyzed culture of my own dry cells.

It's just that this guy is still too young to bear the heavy load.

Forget it, I went up to get the medicine and went back to my dormitory where the payment had just been deducted to take a look.

"Give way, please make way!"

"Ah yo... ouch!"

Surrounded by pain and groans, although the doctors and nurses were too busy to speak, they just managed to make the scene in front of them not so scary.

War, although this scene is too small to be called a war, but the final result is to lead to misfortune and death.

"what!"

It seems... What did you kick?

"Sorry, sorry!"

Why didn't I notice that there was a child here?
"Well……"

What about his parents?
I stretched out my hand to pick up the thin child, but he just propped himself up and dodged back a little.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now, I didn't mean to kick you!"

It seems that I scared people a little bit, it was my fault, I was only thinking about those horrific injuries, but I didn't notice that there were children under my feet.

He still didn't take my hand, so he should squat down first, at least don't make himself look superior.

"sorry!"

I apologized again, trying to get him to stop being so against me.

Now observe the child carefully, he looks thin and weak, and the clothing looks worn out for some years, and the slightly messy appearance is not because of the explosion or other effects.

Children of the poor.

Speaking of it, I seem to have heard of it, because the campus is very large, and refugees from nearby blocks will also wait for the opportunity to flow in and try to find a chance to survive.

They are not aimed at disrupting order, on the contrary, they can often even provide the navy with some unexpected intelligence, or be recruited to achieve some special purposes.

So this guy, is...?
"Give this to you!"

I forgot who sent the fruit, and I didn't have time to eat a few. Although it looks like an ordinary fruit and even some of them are not very fresh, how can I say it, at least it is the same decent thing, right? ?
"Some fruits, I originally wanted to eat by myself, but I accidentally bumped into you, so I gave it to you as compensation?"

Hope they don't think the fruit is too cheap?

"Well……"

"Thank you."

There was a mature tone in his voice that didn't match his age.

"It didn't hurt from the kick, or where did it fall?"

Nonsense, although this guy looks a little thin, but the overall look is quite capable and strong, and he looks like a bad guy who has played around a lot.

"Ah."

I still sent things out to do errands, and now I stood up obediently holding my hand.

Although I still want to chat with this guy, but this place is obviously not a good place to communicate, and this guy's eyes reveal panic, I don't know what else is hiding, so he held me to a certain extent from the beginning. alert.

"Okay~"

"Then there's nothing wrong with you, so I'll go first?"

"Ah."

I really cherish words like gold.

"So, bye!"

"Goodbye."

That's right, at least one more word was added... Where's the person?
Disappeared pretty quickly?

It's not difficult to imagine that he was just like this just slipping through the crowd, and suddenly appeared in front of me.

But it doesn't matter, it's much easier now, at least you don't need to squeeze with such a bag of fruit... Uh, the elevator probably won't be able to squeeze in, so I'll just make do with the stairs.

The inside is really smoky, and the moment I walked out of the hospital gate, I felt that even the air became much fresher.

"Why did it take so long?"

Hey, I'm going!

"You... didn't you go first?"

This old dog, why is he still squatting here for a long time?

"Is it possible to live in here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did you know that this place is already full?"

The middle-aged man in front of him shrugged noncommittally, and the meaning was self-evident.

"but!"

Just when I was about to utter wild words, Kalinin pressed my shoulder.

"But I didn't abandon you, I'm waiting for you here!"
