Cataclysm: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 5 Help and the Thoughts of Borrowing Food

"With five days of food, you can still starve to death even if you eat one or two meals a day. If you save enough food, you can eat it for ten days. What is the greater probability of surviving after receiving rescue in ten days? Or is it more likely that you will survive after exercising and increasing your consumption and eating the food in four days?"

Peng Zhi heard his wife relaying Li Ming's suggestion and dismissed it. He glanced at the cell phone that still had no signal, took the phone to the window in frustration, and secretly stretched the phone out of the window.

In the end, there was still no signal, so I took the phone back a little disappointed.

"He wants to exercise on his own, so leave him alone."

"Besides, he has something and we don't have anything. Can we listen to him?"

Turning around from the window, Peng Zhi said nonchalantly, then raised his eyes to look at Li Ming's room, and his expression suddenly changed.

"He bought so much food the day before yesterday that he will have to wait for two months to finish it all by himself. Wife, go ask and see if you can borrow some."

Peng Zhi's eyes flashed and he smiled: "He is in such a hurry to go out and work hard. It would be a waste to keep the food. It would be better to lend some to us so that we can eat for two more days. Maybe if we eat for two more days, we can handle this crisis. It’s over.”

"When someone comes to rescue us, we won't have to eat as much as we want, just give him a little more."

The more Peng Zhi thought about it, the more appropriate he felt, and then he couldn't help but look at his wife:

"Didn't he just finish his troubles? He should be fine now. Go and see if there's anything you can do to help. After you've finished helping, ask him to borrow food. This guy is unmarried and has a thin skin, so he will be embarrassed to refuse."

"Ah, isn't this bad?"

After hearing what her husband said, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but hesitated.

"What's wrong? Why don't you borrow something from a neighbor? You can return it to him after he is rescued."

Peng Zhi waved his hand impatiently and asked her to hurry up before Li Ming had a rest.

"You can still borrow it before you feel the importance of food. But when you feel the importance of food, can you still borrow it?"

Peng Zhili confidently urged his wife to leave and act quickly.

Zhang Yuan pursed her lips and finally got up and left.

………………

"Phew, you practiced too hard."

In the kitchen, Li Ming was preparing food. He took out the milk powder he had bought in a hurry.

When I was on break at work, I saw on the Internet that eating this product can enhance human immunity, exercise, and quickly replenish energy. It is a good thing. He bought one at that time, one can for 32, two cans for 56 each, of course. I wanted to buy two cans, so I ended up eating two cans.

Fortunately, it was not long ago and I can still eat it now.

Not only were his muscles sore after exercising just now, but he also felt a little hungry in his stomach. Now he was planning to get some milk powder to soak in and drink, and then stretch his muscles.

Although stretching now feels sore and refreshing, he still plans to do it well, otherwise it may be uncomfortable to walk tomorrow...

After washing the dishes, Li Minggang opened the can of milk powder and wanted to brew it. There was a light step at the door of the kitchen. When he looked back, Zhang Yuan was here.

"Hey, Li Ming, you are making milk powder."

Seeing Li Ming making milk powder, Zhang Yuan came up a little embarrassed and took a look. Then she helped him pour hot water and some of her own sugar: "Just drink milk powder and it's tasteless. Put some more." The candy is delicious.”

"Ah, okay, thank you."

Li Ming was a little dazed by Zhang Yuan's movements. The kitchen space was not big, and Zhang Yuan still had a faint fragrance. If he hadn't been in pain from walking around at a close distance, he would have been afraid of making a fool of himself. When he heard what she said, he quickly opened his mouth to cover it up in embarrassment.

"It's okay, drink quickly."

Zhang Yuan used chopsticks to stir the milk powder that Li Ming placed on the kitchen counter, tested the water temperature, and brought it to him with a smile.

"Um, thank you, thank you."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, finished it quickly, and then drank it in a big gulp.

After drinking a large bowl of sweet and rich milk powder, the hunger in his stomach was suddenly emptied. Li Ming felt much better instantly. He put down the bowl and was about to say thank you, but Zhang Yuan took the bowl and chopsticks and took it to clean.

After washing it quickly, he took a tissue and handed it to Li Ming to wipe his mouth.

"You've just practiced so well, aren't you afraid that your body will be so sore that you won't be able to get up tomorrow?"

Li Ming took the paper towel at a loss and wiped his mouth. Zhang Yuan felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. It was not good to directly ask to borrow food now, so the topic changed and Li Ming's exercise was mentioned.

"It's okay, I'm just going to stretch later."

Li Ming was a little confused by Zhang Yuan's sudden enthusiastic conversation, but now he had some reaction. Thinking about what he just said and Zhang Yuan's reaction now... he almost had a guess in his mind.

Thinking of this answer, he didn't want to say more. After saying that, he went to the living room and started stretching according to the post-exercise stretching training that he had downloaded on his mobile phone. When he stretched the muscles that were twisted into a ball, he inhaled straightly. Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and held on. , keep stretching hard for more than the time before changing the movements.

Zhang Yuan followed Li Ming out from the kitchen and saw Li Ming stretching. She grinned when she saw him stretching, and suddenly blurted out a sentence: "How about I massage your legs and arms for you? It will save you the inconvenience of exercising tomorrow."

"Massage is very effective in relieving muscle strain."

Seeing Li Ming, who had just finished stretching and was still a little uncomfortable, looking over in surprise, Zhang Yuan quickly added that the skin on his body was white under the light.

"Oh, is it so."

Li Ming hadn't exercised for a long time, and he was really unsure about the effect of stretching after exercise. If a day's training was delayed, it would undoubtedly cost him a lot of time. When he heard her say this, he felt a little excited.

"That's not good."

He was a little excited, but Li Ming looked at Peng Zhi's room and felt a little reluctant.

"It's okay. Anyway, there is a sofa here. Just lie down here and I will press it for you."

Seeing Li Ming agree, Zhang Yuan spoke quickly, then quickly swept the sofa and said to Li Ming.

Li Ming hesitated. He looked back and saw that Peng Zhi was at home and there was no movement at all. He was probably fine, and since they were all in the living room and not at his home, nothing happened, so he lay down a little stiffly.

"Knead the muscles loose and you won't feel any pain when you wake up tomorrow."

Zhang Yuan quickly spoke with a smile, then stood by the sofa and began to massage the muscles on Li Ming's legs and body.

"Hiss~"

Li Ming hissed slightly, it was really sore and refreshing, and the strength of Zhang Yuan's massage was unexpectedly good.

"I have done traditional Chinese medicine recovery before and studied it."

Seeing Li Ming's wide-eyed reaction, Zhang Yuan smiled softly, and then pressed harder. Li Ming immediately felt that this was effective in relieving muscle pain, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After the massage, Li Ming smiled and thanked him, then borrowed some water from the water purifier, returned home and started to sleep.

Zhang Yuan also said goodbye with a smile, and then returned home. She was stunned when the door was closed and she looked at her husband who was standing inside the home looking out.

"Did he agree to borrow food?"

Peng Zhi asked quickly when he saw his wife coming back.

"Forgot to ask..."

Zhang Yuan was stunned.
