As the two talked, they ran for almost half an hour without realizing it.
Mallory ran out more than three hundred points of time index, and Liu Yin ran out more than two hundred points of time index.
Altogether, the equivalent value ...
More than six dollars.
Can buy a word of gas, plus two pounds of potatoes.
No oil, only boiled potatoes.
Soon Mallory thought again, he also did not have water, to buy water, at least a ton first.
And a ton of water takes more than two hundred points of time index.
Then baked potatoes.
Once he thought of the deliciousness of baked potatoes, Mallory could not stay a bit, he decided not to run for the time being, buy two pounds of potatoes baked to eat.
However, just when Mallory was about to realize his ideal of baked potatoes, the electricity went out.
The room, which was already dim, became pitch black.
Liuyin's screams also sounded immediately.
It looked like the advance had run out of power.
"Don't scream, I'm here, don't be afraid." Mallory felt the darkness and sensed the direction and went over and pulled Liu Yin's arm.
Liu Yin also hurriedly pulled Mallory's arm, and then got off the treadmill.
"What's going on? It's so dark." Liuyin's voice shuddered.
"The power is out, I'll just go charge the meter." Mallory pulled Liuyin towards the door of the treadmill room.
The meter was right next to the security door, with some recharge screens underneath.
Mallory spent more than fifty points of time indexing and recharging the meter with one degree of electricity.
The lights in the room came back on.
Only 0.5 degrees was charged in, and it looked like half a degree was paying off the earlier advance.
After thinking about it, Mallory charged the meter with two more degrees so that the lights in the room would not go out again without notice, which would scare Liuyin.
Then he took Liuyin to the kitchen and, after buying two pounds of potatoes on the refrigerator door, was once again ready to eat them raw.
"I think you can bake potatoes in the microwave, right?" Liuyin pointed to the microwave oven that was set in the cupboard.
"I hadn't seen this thing until you said so." Mallory walked over and opened the door of the microwave and put a few potatoes in.
"It's better to bake them one at a time." Liuyin reminded Mallory.
"You're a pampered young lady from a big family, you still know how to bake potatoes in the microwave?" Mallory thought that Liuyin should be the kind of person who would be able to eat with her hands in her clothes and mouth in her mouth.
"My sister and I go to our adoptive parents' house every winter and summer to experience life in an ordinary home." Liuyin answered Mallory.
"Rich people really know how to have fun." Mallory grinned, actually came to experience the life of ordinary people, really idle.
Why didn't anyone let me experience the life of a rich person?
After the potatoes were baked, Liuyin finally ate two, and the rest were all eaten by Mallory.
"Still running, huh?" Liu Yin can not hold up, just run so long, is already her limit.
"There's no way to eat without running." Mallory went to the treadmill room again.
"For the sake of food, you are also enough to fight." Liuyin sighed.
"Isn't that why people live, to eat? What else can we do?" Mallory took for granted the expression.
"There are also family, love, ideals, career, there are many more, how can it be only for stuttering?" Liuyin disagreed with Mallory's point of view.
"Affection? Love? After scientific research, it is very frightening, in fact, are ... not, that person does not let me spread around." Mallory thought about what to say and took it back.
"What is all ah? Thrilling? Who won't let you talk about it? You tell me, I promise not to spread it around." Liuyin was piqued by Mallory's curiosity.
"You swear not to spread it around."
"I swear I won't spread it around."
"Absolutely not to tell a second person."
"Absolutely not."
"Okay, then I'll tell you. ..." Mallory spiced up the genetic theory she heard from Claudia and gave it to Liuyin, but didn't tell her the source or that Claudia, the director, said it.
"So, stop talking about affection and love, you can't rely on it, it's still the food that is most reliable." Mallory summed it up.
"This is too horrible, right? It's too subversive! It always feels, unlikely." Liuyin was really shocked.
"Others do not know, anyway, I can always feel that I am dominated by the genes inside me, and many times behave involuntarily." Mallory used herself as an example.
"Well, you taking advantage of Anna and tailgating the female director are the result of the genetic domination inside you, right?" Liuyin was smart.
"See what you said, am I like that?"
"Huh."
With Liu Yin talking with him, Mallory was less bored, unknowingly ran for another hour or so, taking the accumulated time index of more than seven hundred, he bought a pound of flour this time, exchanged a word of gas, and a ton of water.
After mixing the flour into dough, he rolled it into pancakes and cooked them in a pot.
"Taste it." Mallory cooked a pancake torn into two halves and handed half of it to Liu Yin.
The lack of oil and salt was not very tasty, and Liuyin did not want to eat it afterwards.
Mallory cooked a few more and ate them all by himself, he wouldn't mind if they were good anyway, as long as they filled his stomach.
Then he went to the treadmill to run again.
"Is there a bite to eat, you can do anything ah?" Liu Yin was very impressed with Mallory for running for so long without being tired.
"No, I have a bottom line as a human being, and I won't agree to anything beyond my bottom line, even if I offer the highest conditions." Mallory righteously answered Liu Yin.
"Huh."
...
Mallory ran and the two talked, unaware that it was actually dawn.
Mallory walked to the window and pulled open the curtain to look outside through the window glass.
Although the sky is bright, but gray, everywhere is full of fog, there is no way to see clearly what the outside world is actually like.
To find out, it is best to go out and see.
There may be some risk.
It may even be life-threatening.
But how do you advance the plot when you stay in the house all the time?
It is said that this is a time prison, to break out of prison to do so.
In fact, Mallory would not want to leave here.
As long as the run will have food, there is a beautiful girl around to talk, than in the top of the stone pillar comfort much.
If you can't get out of jail, it's good to be stuck here all the time.
The problem is, Mallory reckons they can't stay here forever.
The 60-day countdown on the wall should be the limit.
In the process, if the other groups find a way to get out of jail first, their group fell to the end, one person will be eliminated and waxed sealed.
In addition, the first group that succeeds in getting out of jail can get double pay, which for him is 40 points, still very tempting.
Therefore, it is better to explore the world outside the door as soon as possible, will be more advantageous relative to other groups.
If it's dangerous, run back in a hurry.
Mallory found a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and then prepared to go out.
"You must go out, huh? Leave me here alone, huh? How about I follow you." Liu Yin was scared.
