When the seas become polluted, followed by acidic rain, massive storms, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, smog, extreme heat, blizzards, freezing cold, and various disasters kept occurring nonstop, mon...
"I want to eat shrimp!" a little boy with a big head, small body, and bright eyes said.
"Shrimp used to be so expensive! I've never eaten them before, but I want to!" The girl next to me, whose face was dark and who looked like skin and bones, muttered softly.
Hearing their conversation, Junjue walked over, patted the little boy on the shoulder, and said gently, "No problem, you can tell me what you want to eat tonight, and I'll try my best to meet your needs."
With so much delicious food, the adults were already quite satisfied and didn't ask for anything special.
The little boy and the little girl looked at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation as they gazed at the Duke.
"Big brother, we want to eat cake. Do you have any sweet cake here?"
Upon hearing the word "cake," a trace of pain flashed across Junjue's eyes.
That was Wan'er's favorite thing, how could she not have it? And she had so many that they were countless.
That heartless little thing, she's been gone for so long and still hasn't come back. Doesn't she want to eat all kinds of cakes?
As long as she comes back, she can have as much as she wants! If she doesn't have enough space, she can buy more through the system!
Suppressing his sorrow and longing, Junjue sighed and said to the two children:
"Brother, there are cakes here. You can come and get any you want."
Junjue took out dozens of small cream cakes and placed them on the ground, allowing anyone who wanted to eat them to take them themselves.
"There really is cake!" Five or six children's eyes lit up, and they rushed to grab the cake.
After taking a bite, the familiar taste spread in their mouths, and the eyes of every thin child turned red.
"I haven't had cake in ages, it's so delicious!"
"It still tastes delicious, thank you for the cake, big brother."
"I'm going to eat a lot tonight, otherwise there won't be any cake left to eat later."
Seeing a group of children with bloodshot eyes from eating, the Duke said to the person next to him:
"Those who are used to cakes are welcome to take some; please don't be shy."
After saying that, he took out the prepared Australian lobster and cleaned it thoroughly.
Then he took out five king crabs and put five large lobsters into the hot pot. After the lobsters were cooked, he put the king crabs in. During this time, the aroma filled the air, making everyone in the room drool.
Wow...there really are prawns!
"I've never eaten this lobster before!"
"And there are huge crabs! These crabs are enormous!"
"I'm going to eat a lot later. I've never eaten shrimp or crab before."
Upon hearing the child's words, a group of survivors also chimed in:
"King crabs and Australian lobsters are very precious in peacetime, and I've never been willing to buy them, let alone eat them."
"In the past, only rich people could afford this. We ordinary people had so many things to pay for, like mortgages and car loans, where would we get the extra money to buy it?"
"Now that it's the end of the world, the fact that we can still eat these precious things makes it all worth dying for."
"We're going to eat a lot tonight! This meal is so delicious! Hahaha!"
Soon after, fragrant Australian lobsters and king crabs were placed on temporary templates on the ground.
The little boy smiled with excitement.
They couldn't wait to feast on the shrimp and crabs that the Duke had prepared himself.
But there are still many dishes that haven't been cooked yet, so we can only continue to wait patiently.
The warm atmosphere in the room continued to spread, and people enjoyed this rare and wonderful moment.
Junjue and Chen Fan busied themselves around the hot pot, cooking and heating the ingredients for everyone.
Their actions were full of care and warmth, and everyone could feel their sincerity.
"Young man, thank you so much," an old woman said, tears welling in her eyes, as she grasped Junjue's hand with deep gratitude.
"It's just a small thing, I just hope it can bring a little warmth to everyone." Junjue gently patted the old lady's hand and said with a smile.
Inside the house, people shared stories and laughter, and bursts of cheerful voices echoed around the hot pot table.
Although it was a bitterly cold wind and blizzard outside, the atmosphere inside the frigid room was warm and joyful.
Back in her room, Ya Jie was thrilled to see the aloof and handsome Captain Jun Jue bringing a large amount of food for the dozens of survivors.
This guy is not only handsome and powerful, but he can even share lobsters and king crabs with everyone. Following him, you'll definitely live a life of luxury.
She immediately ignored her boyfriend and couldn't help but walk towards Junjue, eagerly offering her attention.
"Captain, you can't manage with so many people eating, let me help you!" Ya Jie's voice was gentle and concerned.
When Ya Jie's boyfriend saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't like Ya Jie being too attentive to other men, especially to Captain Jun Jue, who looked down on her.
He felt his presence was being downplayed, and he felt somewhat unhappy.
Junjue turned around, raised an eyebrow slightly, and swept his cold gaze over Yajie.
He bluntly said, "No need, I can manage on my own. You go and wait over there!" His tone revealed indifference and arrogance.
Ya Jie bit her lip awkwardly, lowered her head, and turned back to Chen Fan's side.
She felt somewhat unwilling, but she was too embarrassed to bother Junjue again.
After all, she was just an ordinary survivor, while the Duke was their captain.
I'm afraid that I'll go too far and offend the other person.
She looked at the tall, handsome figure in the distance, so striking it made her legs weak, with resentment, and thought to herself.
She refused to believe that she couldn't win over a young man with her beauty.
The other survivors around saw this scene; some looked disdainful, while others silently turned their gaze away.
They had long been accustomed to the Duke's indifference towards women, and had long seen through the true nature of women like Ya Jie.
"Hmph, this kind of woman is so unpredictable, she'll sway whichever way the wind blows," a sallow-faced survivor muttered disdainfully.
"How ridiculous! Does she think her flattery will win the captain's favor?" another survivor sneered disdainfully.
The survivors began to discuss the matter, their words filled with sarcasm and ridicule.
They couldn't help but recall the noble and indifferent attitude the king had shown them before, and their resentment shifted to Ya Jie.
"That's right, she thinks the captain will give her a second glance because of her flattery? That's laughable," one of the girls said discontentedly.
"She's really gotten incredibly shameless lately, daring to openly seduce the captain like this. It's utterly disgraceful," someone else chimed in.
"She already has a boyfriend, yet she blatantly tries to seduce others. Her skin is thicker than a wall," another woman said coldly.
"Why do we all look so thin and pale from hunger, while she still looks so clean and fair?"
"It can't be..." The women suddenly exchanged glances, their meaning clear in their eyes.
