"It's okay, I can do it." Mallory pushed Ahmad away and hobbled toward the door with his oxygen tank.
He was hungry now, too! Being a cook was just right, at least he wouldn't starve himself.
"No, let's go." Ahmad held Mallory up again.
"Christa's right, let's go over and cook together." Rasheed stood up.
When Christa and Rasheed said that, the others were too embarrassed to sit still.
"I'll go around to the border and come back to talk to you guys if there's any hostile situation." C patrol did not want to cook and thought about mentioning it to the crowd.
Anyway, just turn around and come back, and the people who are cooking don't know how long they've been turning.
In case of danger, see the enemy from afar and run, come back to the others to discuss.
"If patrolling, it would be best to have two people in a pair." Ahmad opened his mouth.
"Okay, I'll go on patrol too." Patrol A opened up, he didn't want to go cook either.
"You'd better not go, Grandpa, we'll just go." Christa saw Mallory also want to go out, opened his mouth to persuade him a few words.
"We'll bring you the meal later." Ahmad also spoke up to Mallory.
"No, I'm a cook, it's my duty to cook." Mallory shook his head and insisted on going out.
No matter where he was, how could he not go when eating was now the number one priority for him?
The crowd could not persuade Mallory, so they had to let him go.
After some discussion, the crowd each took the oxygen tank together with the wind out of the door.
C patrol and A patrol towards the canyon exit borderline direction, the other six people walked towards the canyon deep kitchen place.
Altitude of five thousand meters, the oxygen content is only thirty percent of the plains, coupled with the wind, after going out without taking oxygen tanks simply can not breathe.
The snow on the ground is not thick, but also may fall soon after the wind blew away, is very hard permafrost.
Now not yet winter, the temperature is only about minus ten degrees.
In the late winter, the temperature can drop to as low as minus 40 degrees.
Looking at the map, the kitchen is behind a boulder about seventy meters away from the inside of the canyon.
Although Mallory said he didn't need help, Christa and Ahmad insisted on supporting him left and right.
The two young men were very nice and caring to the elderly.
The distance of 70 meters was not too far, and it took a short time to get there.
The kitchen is very large, there are two rooms, outside is the stove, inside is the storage room.
The whole storage room is a natural refrigerator with sub-zero temperature, the storage room is rich in supplies, rice, noodles, oil, all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as dehydrated vegetables, canned products, etc., enough for the crowd to eat for half a month.
Outside the door were several large piles of firewood and briquettes, the top was covered with snow.
Christa and Ahmad divided up the work, some were responsible for burning the stove, some were responsible for cutting vegetables, some were responsible for frying, but Mallory was forgotten.
Mallory had to help people everywhere to do odd jobs.
"Grandpa, in fact, you do not need to help us, you are so old, no one will blame you for not doing anything." Christa persuaded Mallory a few words.
"I can still move, I'm not a loser." Mallory laughed.
"I didn't mean that. I'm afraid you'll accidentally break your back." Christa smiled back.
"Let him do it, some old people can't afford to be idle." Ahmad opened his mouth and said something.
"Grandpa, how long have you been in Film City? How did you get in?" Rasheed asked Mallory a few questions.
"Just came in not long ago, woke up from sleep and came over." Mallory answered Rasheed.
"Are you afraid of a stone pillar that high?" B patrol also opened the mouth.
"Afraid, very afraid to fall, a glance down there are shivering." Mallory answered B patrol.
"Seventy-eight, so old, should have been at home to take care of their health, but the result was made to this ghost place, is also enough poor." Rasheed said a few words sympathetically.
"Yes, Film City is too bottomless." Others echoed the sentiment.
Under the auspices of Christa and Ahmad, several young people were very polite and caring to Mallory, basically not allowing him to do heavy work, and when the meal was ready, they also gave him a big bowl first, and came over from time to time to ask if he had enough to eat and so on.
Mallory couldn't help but feel that there are still many good people in the world!
Especially a team, there are a few good people like Christa, Ahmad, after the initiative to take the lead, will bring the whole team's morale are good.
Just eat, A patrol and C patrol also pinpointed the time to rush over.
"How is the situation at the border?" Ahmad asked the duo.
"Hell no! From a distance, they have a big military camp over there, a dozen houses, moving something, and at least a few dozen, if not hundreds, of soldiers stationed there. In case they want to repair the military facilities on our side, just eight of us will not be able to stop them." Patrol A told the crowd about the situation he had inspected.
"That's trouble, if BADENDING deducts double points, I'll just dog it." Ahmad's face was a little less than stellar.
"Me too." Christa sighed.
"Same, same!" Two other people also opened their mouths.
"There's something strange about this script, if the other side is so outnumbered, I feel like we're just being sent here as cannon fodder." Rasheed opened his mouth.
"With so many people on the opposite side of the barracks, they will definitely have an agenda, and it will be troublesome then." Patrol B sighed.
"What should we do? Let's try not to fight them, the disparity in power is too great. On the other side are the real soldiers, what about our side? Look at these old and sick ..." Patrol D spoke up a few times.
"Yeah, after the fight, we'll definitely get KO'd straight away and be out on the spot." Patrol A agreed with Patrol D.
"Let's take a step and see, maybe the situation won't become that bad."
"Don't dream, maybe they'll attack before we finish eating."
"Then we should arrange a sentry to keep watch over there."
"Is it useful? If they really want to come over, just set the sentry on the spot."
"It was agreed that no shots could be fired."
"Even if they shoot, what can we do?"
"By the way, where are our guns?"
"I don't see them, it seems like they didn't give us any guns at all."
"How else can we play?"
The crowd was eating and talking about it.
After eating, the crowd went around the canyon.
It turned out to be a jedi land.
There were cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and the narrow middle of the canyon was blocked by falling rocks and snow.
The barracks were at the exit of the canyon, and the boundary river was the exit from the canyon.
The river is not very wide, only 20 or 30 meters, and is frozen, the passage is unimpeded.
Once the opposite side of the attack, the eight of them can only rely on themselves, there is no place to escape.
