"Why am I dressed like this?"
Lily tugged at her dirty clothes, whose original color could no longer be seen, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Although Shen Lanzhou was usually mean and bullied and teased her from time to time, he never let her suffer any grievance in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He raised Lily like a young lady from a wealthy family, rather than a poor little cub struggling to survive in the end times.
"Just bear with it for now."
Dudu carefully smeared the dirt on Lily's face, covering up her delicate and cute little face. "If you dress up like that, you won't be able to walk around the base. You'll be arrested."
"Who? Doesn't that Tai Sui Lord care?"
Lily asked curiously. Although she had sensed from Dudu's fragmentary words that something was amiss with the people in charge of this base, was it really okay to allow such a rule-breaking thing to happen?
"I was taken away by Tai Sui's men," Dudu said. "Although everyone says that children who are taken away are going to enjoy a good life, that they help Tai Sui cultivate to better protect everyone, and that in return they have enough food and drink and can wear nice clothes, my mother says that this is a lie, and that it made me get myself dirty and smelly."
"I see..."
Lily squinted her eyes to hide the cold light in them.
Lily hates the copper smelting habit and has decided that she will kill Tai Sui Ye!
"Okay." Dudu took a step back and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
At this time, Lily had become as black and dirty as her, so those strange adults would not want to take her away.
"It's almost time to distribute the relief meals. Let's go."
"Uh-huh!"
The two dirty kids crawled into a small pipe and followed the interconnected pipes into an underground air-raid shelter - Nantang Base.
The overall tone of the base is dim, with only a few windows and light sources in the corners emitting faint light.
The people in the base are just like the zombies outside, skinny and thin, like the walking dead.
It can be seen that water is very scarce in the base.
A few people who were well-dressed and had a completely different spirit from others walked to the center of the lobby, dragging two large carts. They were the guards distributing relief meals.
All of a sudden, the "walking dead" in the base became lively, with light in their eyes. They all propped up their weak limbs and walked towards the location where relief meals were distributed, holding the bowls beside them.
"Get away from me! Line up over there!"
The portly guard angrily scolded anyone who came too close.
He lifted the iron bucket on the cart, picked up a ladle and scooped out a turbid liquid comparable to the water of the Ganges River in India into the bowl of the person in front of him. Then he threw two palm-sized black cakes of unknown material to the other person like sending away a beggar. The man couldn't catch them and they fell to the dusty ground.
The man numbly bent down to pick up the pancake, ignoring the dirt on it, and stuffed it into his mouth greedily, then drank the liquid in the bowl in big gulps.
My whole spirit and energy have improved a lot.
Lily followed behind Dudu, looking around curiously.
It's terrible.
Compared with the Shanhai City base, it is a world of difference.
Even the black streets in the Shanhai City base, where the elderly, weak, sick and disabled gather, are several blocks away from here.
Although the management of the Shanhai City base has more or less problems and the Secret Society of the Star King is rampant, the basic survival resources and human rights dignity of the residents of the base can still be guaranteed.
The people in the Nantang base were clearly divided into two groups: the guards and the ordinary people who lived like animals.
Soon it was Lily's turn. Her bright eyes, which were completely different from those of the other zombies, caught the attention of the guards.
These are a pair of eyes that have not experienced the beatings of society, clear and stupid.
Even though I deliberately put on dirty clothes and made myself dirty, the sweet smell of milk still came to my nose.
This is a little lamb, completely different from the skinny sheep and dogs in the base.
Is it from outside?
Following the kid in front, I sneaked into the base through the sewer pipe and mingled with a group of skinny sheep and dogs to get food and drink.
The guard who was distributing the food narrowed his eyes. Without making a sound, he silently served her the meal and looked at the team behind Lily: "Next."
The liquid is turbid water, filled with mud and microorganisms.
As for the black cake...
Lily showed a subtle expression. The main ingredient was cockroaches, mixed with some compressed biscuits.
She had been eating human brains and drinking human blood since she was born. After being subdued by Shen Lanzhou, she was fed biscuits, barbecue, rice, and small bread. It can be said that she was spoiled.
Now let Lily eat cockroach cakes like everyone else...
"Here you go."
Lily immediately stuffed the cockroach cake into Dudu's arms.
Dudu was stunned for a moment: "There is only one relief meal a day. If you miss it, you will go hungry for a day. You should eat something."
"I'm fine. I'm not hungry."
Anyway, my sister has a lot of supplies stored in her film world, so you can just eat whatever you want when you’re hungry.
If all else fails, use yourself as bait to lure the bad guys into the trap, then you have an excuse to eat some fresh brains in the name of self-protection.
When the two were trying to be polite to each other, a cockroach cake fell to the ground with a bang.
Dudu's face changed drastically and he was about to pick it up.
I saw a black shadow flash by and the cake was gone.
A man as thin as a stick broke the cockroach cake, handed half to the woman behind him, and swallowed the other half voraciously.
His hungry wolf-like eyes stared at the remaining cakes in the two men's hands.
Dudu swallowed the biscuit in a few gulps, hunched over, bared his teeth at the two men, and made a threatening "whoosh" sound in his throat.
Seeing that there was no food left, the man looked away indifferently and shrank into a corner with the woman.
