Help Me

What is the easiest thing to breed in a kitchen?

Nature is cockroaches and mice.

When Tom judged that there might be no more survivors in this camp, a huge cockroach crawled down from the nearby table and knocked off a lid, startling Tom.

Tom quickly let the four ants tow away, but the mutated cockroach climbed quite fast and quickly caught up with them.

As Tom watched the approaching cockroach, he gritted his teeth and leapt onto its back. He then used his shapeshifting knife to locate the cockroach's head and cut it.

First is the antennae, then the compound eyes. However, this mutated cockroach seems to be a very persistent guy, even if Tom causes damage to it, his antennae are broken, and his eyes are blind, he still relentlessly pursues the ant car that Shen Jiayi has achieved.

It wasn't until Tom pried open its tail on his back and damaged its second brain that it stopped.

He didn't care about peeling the crystals from the cockroach corpse, so he quickly ran outside the door and saw an ant cart parked nearby.

At this point, it had already rained and happened to hit the car, wetting Shen Jiayi's clothes.

Tom did not mutate into an organ that could be remotely controlled like the queen ant. He could only run to the side of the ant cart and touch it to hide under a bench on the pedestrian street, temporarily avoiding the falling raindrops.

Watching the raindrops getting bigger and bigger, Tom reluctantly had to gamble and let Shen Jiayi temporarily hide here, and lower the carriage to block the rain as much as possible. I walked out in the rain and went to the next store to find the entrance.

When Tom found the third shop, he finally encountered the sliding gate that could be opened, and then he enthusiastically walked back.

At this moment, the heavy rain has settled, and the strong wind is hanging raindrops scattered everywhere. Larger raindrops slanted down in the air, hitting the dusty streets and splashing small dust flowers. The smaller raindrops, when people were not getting smaller in the past, could only feel the coolness and dampness through touch. Now, they have shrunk to 7 centimeters and can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Drops of raindrops as big as fingers fly in the air with the wind, many even parallel to the ground, and some even splash up with the wind, which is truly amazing.

At this moment, Shen Jiayi was already stunned and didn't realize that her black suit was already wet for the most part. Now that it was raining and the temperature had turned cooler, her wet body had a great impact on her body when it was exposed to the cool wind.

Tom pushed her to the back of the carriage without saying a word, instigated ants to drag the car forward, and used his body wearing worker ant armor to shield her from the rain.

Finally arriving at the iron gate shop, Tom opened the door and let the ant cart in.

This is a small coffee shop, and Tom noticed a business card on the shelf next to the door that had been blown off by the wind. It read "Guns and Roses", which should be the name of this coffee shop.

Although the store name looks very ironclad and romantic, the decoration inside is very cartoonish and cute. There are some cute cat patterns on the wooden floor, walls, and even the table legs.

This makes Tom a bit dizzy. Isn't this the legendary cat themed coffee shop?

Although his sister brought a cat into the hotel and after a battle trial, the mutated little black cat called Bell finally surrendered to him, he couldn't guarantee that other cats would also be so good at speaking.

Just now, with the strong wind outside and the chill gradually rising, it's not a good choice for people around 7 centimeters tall to go out for a walk and change houses.

Fortunately, the Ant Car entered all the way and did not find any signs of other creatures, which made Tom feel a little relieved.

Looking at Shen Jiayi's soaked clothes, he thought it was best to start a fire as soon as possible to keep her warm and dry the clothes to prevent her from catching a cold.

Now that he is separated from the main army, he doesn't have any cold medicine on him. If Shen Jiayi gets sick, it will be troublesome.

Since this is a coffee shop, it is possible to have an alcohol lamp because using an alcohol lamp to brew coffee is also one of the methods. It is said that some coffee shops that are more sophisticated do have alcohol lamps, which say that the coffee brewed in this way has a better and more unique taste.

Regardless of what Tom said, he naturally found a way to jump onto the chair and followed it to the coffee table. Sure enough, he found a quite large alcohol stove on the stage, which is relatively large compared to Tom, a small person of 7 centimeters.

Looking around, this alcohol lamp is about 12 centimeters high, with a width and diameter of around 14 centimeters. In Tom's eyes, it is 3 meters wide, almost 2.8 meters high, and it is simply a single story house.

Alcohol is volatile, and although the owner of the coffee shop had already covered the glass lid of the alcohol lamp before closing, half a year after the microfilm disaster, the alcohol in the alcohol lamp had already evaporated.

But the alcohol bottle is right next to it, it's still a metal can, which is much more convenient for Tom right now.

He first got down to the chair, put down the rope, pulled Shen Jiayi onto the chair, and then pulled it onto the table. Then open the lid of the alcohol lamp and connect a hose to the metal molded open alcohol can. Then all you need to do is inhale at the other end, then insert your head into the alcohol lamp, so that the alcohol will flow from the alcohol can into the alcohol bottle due to the siphon effect.

This process is not long, after all, the alcohol lamp is not too big. When the alcohol reaches two-thirds of the alcohol bottle, Tom pulls out the hose to stop the alcohol delivery, and finally seals the alcohol can and closes the alcohol lamp.

Then Tom found iron plates from around and used metal shapes to build a semi enclosed room around the top of the alcohol lamp. He also made the wick very short before finally getting a lighter to light the alcohol lamp.

The alcohol lamp had a short wick and a small flame, but Tom built a metal cover at the top of the lamp, making the room inside the cover warm and cozy. This can not only prolong the combustion time, but also prevent it from being too hot inside.

Shen Jiayi watched with great interest as Tom completed the project, sneezing several times. It wasn't until the end that she crawled into the covered room with Tom's help. Then Tom left, and she took off her clothes, wrapped them in the soft cloth that Tom had found, and waited for them to slowly dry.

This soft cloth should be used by the shop owner to wipe cups, it is very soft and comfortable. Tom cut a small piece, which is very suitable for covering.

He gave orders to four mutated worker ants to guard the alcohol lamp room, while he searched for the surrounding cabinets and shelves, finding some food and water.

There is a refrigerator next to the coffee shop, which contains many pastries, but they must not be eaten now. Tom found some insect bites on it, indicating that there are still ants or cockroaches nearby. If there are no large openings, it means there are no mice or... cats.

In the other cabinet, he found some purified water, cookies, and chocolate. After Tom replenished the water and chocolate, he returned.

Returning to the alcohol lamp house, Tom knocked on the door, told Shen Jiayi that he had returned, and asked her how, but Shen Jiayi did not answer.

"You've fallen asleep, it's been quite tiring for her today," Tom muttered as he took off his helmet, wiped away sweat from his head, and leaned against the tin wall, gazing at the pitch black coffee shop under the glow of the ventilation holes. Looking around, I saw a photo frame on the coffee table.

In the photo frame, there is a burly and tall bald man with a fierce and muscular face. However, wearing a striped t-shirt, he is surrounded by a pink apron with cute cartoon cat images, creating a strong contrast. Beside him stood a girl who was half a head short, with cold eyes, like Shen Jiayi who had activated the "six relatives do not recognize" mode.

This is probably the owner of this small coffee shop, it should be a couple's shop, but this couple is really cute and contrastive.

Tom smiled and sighed. He remembered his sister and finally found her clue at the Jinrui Hotel, but it was immediately cut off. According to Bell's memory, she may have left the hotel on the night of the Miniature Cataclysm, before it occurred, and suddenly lost the clue.

He had originally planned to wait until he returned to the shelter and watch the surveillance footage thoroughly to see if he could lock in his sister's departure time from the hotel before making any further plans, but now he has left the main force and is stranded with the highest leader of the shelter, which is really unlucky.

Tom scratched his head, not knowing how anxious the people in the shelter would be. After all, only Shen Jiayi had the highest authority to control the main computer in the shelter. Without her, the stability and safety of the shelter would be greatly affected.

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard a faint sound. He looked around alertly and then pressed his ear against the metal wall.

"Tom..."

Shen Jiayi called him inside about this matter.

He quickly opened the door and saw Shen Jiayi lying next to the alcohol lamp wrapped in a soft cloth, weakly shouting his name.

"Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you?" Tom leaned in and watched her face turn red from the flames. After thinking for a moment, he touched her forehead with his hand, which was very hot.

This is a fever.

"Mr. Shen, you have a fever. It must have been caused by rainwater wetting your clothes."

"Water... I want... water."

Tom quickly unscrewed the bottle and helped her up, feeding her water.

Due to Shen Jiayi taking off her wet clothes, she was completely naked and wrapped in soft cloth. However, being helped up, her snow-white skin on her shoulders and below her neck was exposed, causing Tom to blush. But he couldn't let go while supporting her, so he could only turn his face to the other side.

"You... wetted me," Shen Jiayi complained.

Okay, with a twist of the head, the water bottle didn't control well, and water spilled out, wetting the person's chest and soft cloth. Tom was very embarrassed and wanted to wipe it with his hand, but he felt embarrassed and could only stutter for a while.

"Hehe." Shen Jiayi could still smile, and she said in a weak voice, "It's okay... just take it as a way to cool down for me. I'm very hot now... can you do me a favor..."

"What's up?" Tom's heart skipped a beat and his face turned even redder. "It's too hot to..."

"I may die... Can you help me fulfill a wish, a wish of an old maid?"

Old... place

Tom's face turned even redder.

"Mr. Shen... you will be fine."

"Help me..."

Looking at Shen Jiayi's earnest gaze, Tom swallowed his saliva and looked at the snow-white patch below her neck. His breathing and heartbeat accelerated, and he asked in an uncertain voice, "You say..."
