…
While waiting for 11B to be served, Shen Ye picked up the juice and took a sip, then grinned. To be honest, the freshly squeezed juice tasted okay, but in terms of mouthfeel, it was actually not as good as the prepared product. However, in this barren world, being able to drink this stuff was already very good, and there was no need to be picky, so he poured the rest of the juice into his mouth.
After Shen Ye finished drinking a glass of juice like a cow drinking water, 11B brought the last dish and placed it in the middle of the table.
It was a pot of stew, the main ingredient of which was some meat cut into pieces of the same size. According to Popola, the meat was wild boar, and A2 had killed it herself near the camp in the afternoon.
Although Shen Ye was very moved by A2's behavior, after smelling it, he decided not to be the first person to taste it.
But A2 obviously didn't think so. She directly served Shen Ye a large bowl, then looked at him intently, waiting for his evaluation.
Shen Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and then looked at the twin sisters in surprise. Although the stewed meat smelled very fishy, which was the wild boar meat, it tasted much lighter and had a surprisingly good texture. This was obviously the credit of the twin sisters.
But thinking of what Accord said, Shen Ye still praised A2: "It's improved a lot, and it tastes great."
A2 immediately laughed happily, then sat next to Shen Ye. He didn't eat himself, but just watched Shen Ye eat, which made him feel boundless pressure.
After finally finishing their meal and clearing the table, the robots gathered together to chat.
Although Devola did not drink too much this time, the twin sisters did not leave but stayed and naturally participated in the conversation.
Their topic was very simple, just about cooking. Maybe they thought it was the best way to represent human life, so they were very engaged in the conversation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ye told them that he wanted to get some fresh air in the corridor, and then left the room.
Of course, he didn't really want the wind. Although the rebel camp was located in an oasis-like location, most of the surrounding area was still desert. If the wind really blew, he would have to eat a mouthful of sand first.
He just wanted to smoke a cigarette.
But speaking of it, after being with the androids all day, he almost quit smoking and could only smoke a cigarette when he had time to relieve his fatigue.
Shen Ye took out a cigarette and lit it. While exhaling smoke, he looked up at the moon in the sky. The corridor was open, so he could see clearly.
One good thing about the desert-dominated terrain is that there are not many clouds, or at least not thick enough, so the moonlight here is surprisingly bright and can even cast shadows.
Looking at the moon, Shen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly recalled some things about the human base on the moon.
Although there is actually no human being in the human base on the moon, there are quite a few androids living there. Except for a few android leaders who know the truth, most of the androids don't even know that they are working in the human base. They are deceived by the android leaders and have always thought that they are carrying out missions on the seabed of the blue planet.
However, it's not that there were no androids who discovered the truth. Shen Ye had heard that an android had once walked out of the base out of curiosity, but he didn't know what the final outcome was.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye sighed, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and lit another one.
He had only taken two puffs of the cigarette when he noticed an acquaintance standing in the middle of the street, looking at him curiously, or rather, looking at the cigarette in his hand.
"Jackass... Why is this guy here?"
After discovering that it was Jackass, Shen Ye quickly threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, lowered his head to crush the cigarette butt, and kicked it into the pile of debris in the corner. This thing is almost invisible in this world now, and for Jackass, who is eager to study it, it will definitely arouse her curiosity.
But it was obviously too late, and his attempt to cover up his mistake only made it more obvious. When he looked up at the center of the street, he found that Jackass was gone. When he was wondering, he heard the sound of boots stomping on the ground in the corridor.
He turned his head helplessly and saw the Jackass coming out from the stairs. She strode towards him with a face full of curiosity, shouting:
"Wow, Shen, I just saw you biting a strange thing in your mouth. It was sparking and smoking. What is that? Is it something left over from the human era?"
Before Shen Ye could think of a reply, she sniffed again, then raised her head in confusion: "I smelled a strange smell. According to analysis, this smell contains a variety of harmful substances. One of the substances is recorded in the memory bank. It seems to be called nicotine... Nicotine, it seems to only appear in..."
Then, she made an expression of sudden enlightenment and exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, nicotine only appears in tobacco. Ha, I know. You were smoking just now, right? I remember that humans like to smoke. Am I right?"
Shen Ye disdainfully pushed away the head of the Jackass who came close to him and sniffed him like a dog, and said unhappily: "You're still asking when you know it."
"This is just to make sure." Jackass didn't care about Shen Ye's actions, and moved closer to him, looking a little bit mean.
"What does smoking feel like? Also, I heard that nicotine is harmful to the human body, but I don't know if it will have any effect on artificial humans. You were so skillful just now, you must have smoked for a long time, tell me quickly."
Looking at the curious baby Jackass, Shen Ye had no choice but to say helplessly: "It has no effect on me anyway."
"That means it has no effect on the androids. Hmm, I got another piece of data. That's great. My sudden idea of going for a walk on the street tonight turned out to be correct." Jackass immediately stood up straight, held her chin up and nodded, looking like she was really lucky.
Then her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Shen Ye with a smile.
Shen Ye's heart trembled when he was looked at by her. He took a step back uneasily and asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"
"Hey, um, do you have any extra tobacco? Give me some to try." Jackass said, while trying to make her smile more gentle.
"No more." Shen Ye refused directly. He didn't want to raise a smoker, although he felt that the artificial human would not be addicted.
Seeing Shen Ye's refusal, Jackass blamed him for not giving in and even started touching Shen Ye.
Shen Ye could only struggle hard, pushing her head out, but during the struggle, the door suddenly opened.
