Chapter 97
Everyone who was fleeing grabbed light and easy-to-eat supplies first, and few made their own food. Especially not these white sugar shortbread cookies that looked like they required a lot of craftsmanship and effort.
The white sugar filling here looks very rich. I wonder how many primary crystal cores are needed to exchange it for the sugar in the base!
Compressed biscuits can fill your stomach, but they really taste bad.
Apart from the nutritional needs, it has no taste and is really not enough to satisfy a picky pregnant woman.
But this is the situation, and we have to endure it no matter how unfair it is.
The husband swallowed his own saliva, and seeing his wife's eager eyes, he spoke tentatively and enthusiastically, "Are you from the small base nearby?"
Liu Yu didn't expect them to talk to him. He was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and replied, "Yeah."
Unexpectedly, the two were pleasantly surprised after hearing this: "What a coincidence, we are too!"
After his excitement, the man added, "But you guys probably aren't from our base. I've never seen you before, haha. My wife and I are lucky. We both survived the apocalypse and followed a group into the base of a small faction. All in all, we're living a decent life."
"But the baby is about to be born, and a small base is not safe after all. I heard that S City has a free policy for pregnant women, so we're going to try our luck for the baby."
Liu Yu glanced at his wife's bulging belly, and thinking back to the sudden incident of buying back the car, he couldn't help but have some doubts, free policy?
How can a base that even forces survivors to rob them of their escape tools offer a free policy?
Once the man started talking, he seemed to be reluctant to stop. He could continue talking without Liu Yu even asking him to start a conversation.
"A few days ago, a small base was attacked by a zombie horde. Only one in ten people inside survived. We were worried about this, so we took advantage of this policy and came here. Now many people are rushing to the S City base. After all, it is the largest base in this area."
The woman, who had taken a breath against her husband's side, held her belly and joined in the conversation, "Ah, the world is unpredictable. Who could have known there would be something like a zombie virus?"
As she spoke, she unconsciously glanced at the sugar cake in Lingbao's hand.
"You must have done quite well in your previous small base. The food your baby is eating is rich in ingredients and takes a lot of effort. Few ordinary people can afford it now."
Only then did Liu Yu realize that Lingbao was secretly eating in her arms, and she wiped the candy stains from the corner of his mouth helplessly.
The man saw that although Liu Yu and the others were wrapped tightly and looked serious, they were not cold in their communication, so he simply plucked up the courage to ask.
"My wife hasn't had anything good to eat since the apocalypse, and she's craving this. Do you have any extra cakes to trade with? I have some crystal cores."
Liu Yu glanced at the sugar cake in Lingbao's hand. Actually, they were in a hurry to make this sugar cake, so they made it as simple as possible and it didn't take much effort.
But in the eyes of ordinary people today, it is a delicacy that they have neither the energy nor the ability to try.
She lowered her head and took out the remaining sugar cake from Lingbao's backpack and asked Lingbao, "Lingbao, can I give this to this aunt?"
The thing belongs to Lingbao, she shouldn't have touched it.
But the sugar cake in her space was scalding hot, and taking it out would definitely arouse suspicion, so she could only give it to Lingbao.
Lingbao chewed the sweet candy cake, looked at the woman's bulging belly, and nodded obediently: "You can give it to the baby!"
Xiao Huang was furious when he heard this, squatting in the backpack with a grudge. But since it was Ling Bao who did this, he couldn't bear to be angry with him, so he could only swallow his grievance.
Woohoo, I want to eat...
Liu Yuke didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the little "jealous woman" Huang. She had her own considerations.
After patting Lingbao's head, he handed the warm and cool sugar cake in the plastic bag to the couple and said, "Take it. No need to give the crystal core."
The couple's eyes lit up with surprise. The pregnant woman took the sugar cake and said hurriedly, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
The husband frantically searched his bag, trying to find something valuable to give to Liu Yu: "That won't do. I can't take your things for free. Supplies are so scarce right now!"
Zhuang Moxing saw through Liu Yu's intention at a glance and stopped the man from reaching into his bag with one hand.
"No need to give us anything, just exchange information with us. We came here in a hurry and didn't inquire about the news of the entire S City base. Tell us everything you know."
The young couple was a little stunned, and then excitedly told Liu Yu and the others the information they knew.
It turned out that the S City base was not the temporary shelter that Liu Yu and his team were looking for. No wonder Liu Yu and his team couldn't find it no matter how hard they tried according to the previous address.
The original temporary shelter was established by the government and the military, which accommodated survivors free of charge and provided basic supplies every day.
But half a month ago, the shelter was attacked from the inside by a mutant zombie that could become invisible for a short time, resulting in countless casualties. The military urgently moved here with the remaining survivors.
At this point, the man pointed to the towering gate of the base.
"This wall is strong and thick, and it doesn't look like there's any trace of construction. I heard it was built by many earth-type espers using their powers. Many of these espers are from the Blue Sky Mercenary Group."
"The leading force in the S City base." He raised his thumb, his eyes full of envy and longing.
Seeing that Liu Yu and the others were very calm, without the shock on their faces that he had when talking to others, he touched his nose awkwardly and changed the subject.
"This base was initially built by the Blue Sky Mercenaries, and the military only joined in later. Therefore, the military is somewhat lacking in confidence. Currently, the base is under the full control of three factions."
"They are the Blue Sky Mercenaries, the military, and the Future Organization."
In her previous life, Liu Yu had been traveling between various small bases, and life was very difficult. Apart from the things that everyone knew about the end of the world, she had neither the ability nor the time to understand anything else.
So she listened very carefully at this moment, her eyes deep and searching.
"The first two forces are base builders, capable and prestigious enough to occupy a niche position, but what is this future organization?"
