The boy named Sixteen told Yang Xiuguang and the others to a chubby middle-aged man who was in charge of the tent area, and then ran away quickly.
The male supervisor saw Sixteen running so fast and knew that these people were definitely not worth the money. Without further ado, he registered them and led them to a small, shabby, old tent.
Yang Xiuguang smiled at the male person in charge and said, "Brother, there are so many of us in this group, both men and women. Can you give us two tents?"
The person in charge rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "Other people can live here, why are you so pretentious? If everyone is like you, then where is the point of living? If you don't want to live here, you can live somewhere else, no one will stop you." He raised his orchid finger and pointed at the villa area inside the base.
Yang Xiuguang was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and Wang Peipei's eyes were wide open with anger.
The man in charge didn't bother to pay attention to them and just turned his waist and walked away. Yang Xiuguang and his friends had been waiting in line all day and were already exhausted. They didn't want to argue with her, so they could only bow their heads and walk in, but found nothing in the tent.
Fortunately, everyone had something useful in the car on their backs.
The middle-aged woman who had been pulling the woman was very considerate and helped to lay out the blanket. After a while, the room was tidied up and habitable.
There were five boys and six girls. The girls were smaller than the boys, so they were just divided into two sides.
Yang Xiuguang, who originally wanted to take a rest, took a look at their bags of supplies and said to them, "We'll go downstairs to eat later. Please bring some back for me! There's no door to lock in a tent like this. I'll stay here first. Chaoyang, you take them to eat first. Remember, don't make trouble." He added one more sentence out of concern.
Chen Chaoyang and Li Mu looked at each other, nodded, and led everyone towards the cafeteria that the boy from number sixteen had pointed to. As they entered the cafeteria, they found it bustling with people, making them feel like they were back in their old school cafeteria, and it made them feel as if they were in a dream.
Because there were people everywhere, everyone's defensive expressions naturally relaxed.
As soon as they walked in, they were met with all sorts of gazes. Not just good ones, but also malicious ones. These unscrupulous looks made everyone's relaxed nerves tense up again.
The lewd looks from some of the men in particular forced Wang Peipei to hide behind Chen Chaoyang and Li Mu. Zhou Shenshen and Sun Wei naturally protected Sun Tingting and Lin Meiwen, leaving the middle-aged woman and the other two women exposed. As the two women felt the greasy, disgusting gazes, a hint of fear finally returned to their previously numb and empty eyes.
When they went to collect their food, they found that each person had only a bowl of porridge and a coarse flour bun. The porridge was so clear that one could count the grains of rice in it.
Even someone as good-tempered as Chen Chaoyang couldn't help but ask, "This porridge is like water. Can't you make it thicker?"
The person in charge of serving food snorted coldly: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat. I gave you a free meal, but you still complain about it." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to snatch the bowl of porridge from Chen Chaoyang's hand.
Li Mu quickly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, we are just too hungry!"
The outstretched hand paused, and he said angrily: "If you want to eat, take it and leave quickly, don't block others!" As he spoke, he took the pot and spoon and knocked hard on the stainless steel basin, shouting to the people below to be quick.
"Okay, let's find a seat first!" They were unfamiliar with the place, and since it was free, if something went wrong, neither side would be in a good situation. Zhou Shenshen and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything. They obediently ate their porridge and steamed buns and found a seat.
Wang Peipei's face was filled with gloom. Not only did she live in such a simple place, but she also had to eat such poor food.
Qin Qing was in a very good mood at the moment. She had never expected that she had robbed houses everywhere to search for jade, but had not found many pieces of jade with energy, yet they could be seen everywhere in this market.
Before the end of the world, those gold and jade items that were treasured in a dark room without sunlight are now just like the fake stone she bought from the street stall. They are casually thrown on the ground by their owners, who would be very happy if they could exchange them for a bag of instant noodles.
"Let's go, let's go. We don't want to buy anything. Qin Qing, let's go..." Wang Xiaobao protected Qin Qing with one hand and glared at the people who were following closely behind him.
After walking a few steps, he found that Qin Qing had not caught up at all.
"Qin Qing, these things are useless now..." Wang Xiaobao didn't know what to say. He didn't understand why Qin Qing, such a calm person, had such bright eyes when he saw these things.
He turned to look at the old man holding a emerald jade ring. He stretched out a shriveled hand with a trembling hand and looked at Qin Qing and him cautiously, his eyes full of expectation. Wang Xiaobao's heart softened immediately. Seeing this scene, he immediately unilaterally concluded that Qin Qing was a good person and that he felt sorry for the old man, so he wanted to exchange this useless jade ring.
Qin Qing suppressed her inner ecstasy. The energy contained in the jade ring in front of her made her whole body boil. A single thought surged from her inside out: I want to eat it... I want to eat it so much...!
She forced herself to turn around and gestured to Wang Xiaobao to replace the jade ring. In Wang Xiaobao's eyes, Qin Qing didn't want to change it, but was reluctant to help because she couldn't get past him.
If Qin Qing knew about this, she could only shrug and say, "What a beautiful misunderstanding..."
Wang Xiaobao took out a bag of instant noodles from his clothes, successfully took out the jade ring and handed it to Qin Qing. The old man looked at the jade ring reluctantly, but still quickly held the instant noodles in his arms and turned away.
Afraid that Qin Qing and the others would regret it, Qin Qing's palms felt like they were on fire. He took the jade ring and quickly pretended to put it in his pocket, but in fact he threw it directly into the space from his pocket.
After getting this feast, and even though the snacks from the street stalls were delicious, Qin Qing wasn't in a hurry. These days, basically no one would trade for these things.
So, she can take her time.
If she were to give out so much food in exchange for the jade, it would probably attract the covetousness of others and even attract the attention of the higher-ups in the base, which would bring her a lot of inconvenience.
Now she wanted to go back as soon as possible, then enter the space and absorb this jade ring, to see how much bigger the space could be. She still had a lot of supplies she had collected in the warehouse in the suburbs of S City!
Seeing that Qin Qing had only exchanged a jade ring for the old man and then turned and left, those people squatted down again in disappointment. They had all gone without a full meal in a long time, especially those who had passed the ten-day newcomer period and were not eligible for free meals. Since business was hopeless, any effort they could save was a plus.
