Chapter 22: "Knight"
As Shiqi sorted through the guns and grenades he carried for the two hundred and seventy-first time, the third day's sun began to slant toward the horizon. His last two cans of food sat over the fire pit, which had been burning for three days.
With the trial almost over, Shiqi was in a rather good mood.
Although Qin Ran's silence over the past three days had bored him, Shiqi, free of anything troubling him, treated this as a rare vacation.
He hummed an unfamiliar tune.
Shiqi added firewood to the pit while adjusting the positions of the cans.
If asked what his greatest gain over the past three days had been, Shiqi would have answered without hesitation: roasted canned food.
Our sheriff had now gradually reached the stage of pondering "what angle to heat the cans at to give the beef inside a better texture."
And it had to be said, the results were impressive.
"Smells great!"
Qin Ran opened his eyes and said with a smile.
"How did it go?"
Shiqi asked bluntly.
Having encountered the mystery side, Shiqi naturally knew why Qin Ran had sat there without a word for three days.
And as good friends, neither of them considered the question intrusive or embarrassing.
"Even better than I imagined!"
Qin Ran replied.
He was telling the truth.
