A young man with gray hair standing next to the mother and son sighed deeply.
In the past, the couple worked hard, and although they couldn't afford to eat their fill, the daily reward of two bowls of porridge was at least enough to feed the mother and son.
However, the Fire Seed Base did not treat them as human beings. While constantly increasing the workload for these grassroots base members, the daily supply of porridge did not increase, and even decreased.
You have to understand that their child is not capable of working. The two of them only get four bowls of porridge a day, and they not only have to feed themselves, but also have to give some to their child.
With their workload increased under such circumstances, this small amount of porridge was simply insufficient to meet their most basic survival needs.
Life was already difficult for these lower-level base members, but instead of easing their burdens, the base's higher-ups exploited them even more, concentrating more resources and benefits in their own hands.

The atmosphere in the dungeon grew increasingly heavy, the cold and despair seeming to freeze everyone's soul.
All these people can do now is silently await their judgment.
