But when he glanced at the wide variety of supplies on both sides of the corridor, he said, "Oh...oh shit!"
He whimpered from his throat and suddenly slapped himself hard: "Am I dreaming?"
The crowd that squeezed in from behind instantly caused an uproar.
"This... How is this any different from when I went to the supermarket before the apocalypse?! The supplies here are so complete!"
“Vegetables, fruits, and meat!”
"I've heard that Yan Xin raises and grows his own crops, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Look over there! It's medicine!"
"That's clothes over there! Brand new clothes and shoes..."
“The pots, pans, and bowls are all new…”
A woman rushed to the daily necessities stall, grabbed a pack of sanitary napkins, and asked with tears streaming down her face, "How many crystal cores?"
“They really have everything!”
"The survivors of Flame Heart Base are so lucky."
"Let's ask if we can add more later."
Exclamations and discussions instantly filled the entire entrance area of Xi City. The original suspicion and vigilance were replaced by great surprise and disbelief at this moment.
Everyone's face was filled with a long-lost glow that belonged to normal life.
At this time, in an area about a mile away from the Flame Heart Base, the real "drama" had just begun, and the air was filled with a restless anticipation.
On the rooftops of several abandoned high-rise buildings, there were many shadowy figures lying and standing.
They held various types of telescopes, old and new, in their hands, and all looked towards the city of Yanxin.
"Look! They're coming out! The group of people who just entered the room are coming out!"
"Everyone's carrying things! There are bags! There are boxes!"
A young man wearing a tattered hat squinted his eyes and tried to adjust the focus: "Let me take a look... Shit! That short guy is holding something in his hand, it seems to be... a bag of rice?
Can you really exchange it for food?! Stop looking! Hurry! Get out of the car! If you're too late, you won't be able to grab it!
Similar scenes were taking place simultaneously on the rooftops of several buildings.
The news spread like wildfire among these latent observers, and their originally restrained wait-and-see attitude instantly turned into an impatient act.
Beside a main road leading to the center of the flames, on the roof of a heavily modified truck with thick steel plates welded together, a thin figure was holding a telescope in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other, shouting incoherently with great excitement.
"Boss! Boss! It's confirmed! It's not a trap! It's really not a trap! Everyone who came out was holding supplies!
I saw it! There were cans! There were whole bags of… what looked like clothes! They really could exchange them! They really did exchange them!
"Everyone! Don't fucking hide! Get in the car! Get through here as fast as you can! If you're late, everyone else will have picked all the good ones!"
Suddenly, the roar of engines could be heard from several hidden locations...
Vehicles rushed out from every corner, scrambling to converge on the main road, speeding towards the Flame Heart Base, stirring up clouds of dust.
However, those who thought they were acting secretly, caught in a flurry of panic and excitement, had no idea that their every move was being captured and magnified in real time, as if broadcast live, by a high-definition camera mounted on the observation deck above the innermost gate of the Flame Heart...
Not to mention, at this moment inside Xi City, Lu Nange and Shi Xu's spiritual power, one on the left and one on the right, quietly enveloped the entire Xi City area.
He Zhuo crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at the survivors at the entrance who were not excited but still lined up obediently and followed the rules.
"Tsk, looks like we won't have to see any bloodshed on this 'opening day'? These guys...are pretty well-behaved."
Luo Xingyou: "I thought... there wouldn't be many people coming on the first day."
Lu Nange: "They're all squatting around here. Those who just came in were from the Sharp Blade Base. They successfully exchanged for supplies and left, giving us some publicity."
Gu Wan suddenly understood after hearing this: "No wonder! I was talking about that older woman who came to my stall to pay the bill. Her hands were shaking like sieves and her voice was trembling. I was thinking, I don't look like a cannibal, do I?"
Her words elicited a chuckle...
