Among the survivors, a teenager was attracted by the base's defensive turret. He pointed at the turret and shouted to his mother, "Mom! Look at that! Isn't that the weapon we saw in the computer before?"
My mother's eyes were full of confusion as she whispered, "That's a high-speed ion cannon, something that can even penetrate a battleship..."
"The city lord has arrived."
When Song Lufeng appeared, the atmosphere of the entire group of survivors suddenly stagnated for a moment.
He was dressed in dark armor, standing upright in front of the observation deck. His figure was as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were calm yet deep, as if he could see through everything.
Zhang Shun's eyes were fixed on him, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
"This is the commander of Xuanwu Base."
Zhang Shun whispered in a low voice,
"He stood there like a king."
The people around him echoed:
"The look in his eyes... I always feel like he can see right through us."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Shun frowned and scolded in a low voice, then gritted his teeth unwillingly.
"He is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful one person is, he cannot defend such a large base."
Zhang Shun looked up at the armored roof of the Xuanwu base. Those tall defense turrets and densely packed mechanical arsenals were reflected in his eyes, gradually turning into greedy light.
"Their resources, their weapons, even their strength..."
Zhang Shun felt a strong sense of jealousy.
"Why do they own everything? We are starving and freezing, but they can sleep soundly?"
He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and raised a cold smile:
"Well, now that we're here, there's no need to leave in a hurry."
Shi Hai stood on the observation deck, watching the survivors being arranged for accommodation with a solemn look.
"There's something wrong with these people."
Cheng Fang stood beside him, his eyes cold:
"The guy named Zhang Shun stared at the base like a hungry wolf."
Xu Xiang leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and laughed:
"Whether it's a wolf or a dog, if it dares to bite, we'll beat it until it has no teeth."
Song Lufeng stood on a higher step, looking down at the entire base. His voice was low, but everyone could hear it clearly:
"Resources can save lives, but greed destroys everyone."
"He has put away his minions. I don't care how ambitious he is, but if he dares to do anything wrong, there will only be one outcome: death."
He scanned the survivors with his eyes cold, like an invisible blade.
Zhang Shun, who was far away, suddenly felt a chill running up his spine.
He turned his head suddenly, but only saw Song Lufeng's stern profile.
Zhang Shun clenched his teeth and lowered his head:
"He...will lose it all one day."
******
In the conference room of the base, Song Lufeng sat in the main seat, and surveillance footage was playing on the holographic screen.
Zhang Shun in the picture had a gloomy expression, and whispered to encourage several survivors beside him. His words were full of greed and jealousy towards the Xuanwu Base.
"Look at them,"
"A bunch of hungry wolves, entering our territory and having evil intentions."
Shi Hai snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as knives.
Cheng Fang leaned back in his chair and added coldly:
"Zhang Shun's goal is clear - plunder. He even hinted at joining forces with other shelters to attack us."
Xu Xiang scratched his head, with a hint of anger on his face:
"What's wrong with these people? They just saved us and now they want to eat us up?"
Song Lufeng did not respond immediately. He tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes calm but revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Send them supplies."
He suddenly spoke in a calm voice.
There was silence in the conference room.
Cheng Fang frowned:
"Send supplies? To people like this? That's simply giving them a bargain!"
Shi Hai raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickering:
"I'm afraid the city lord's intention is more than just sending supplies."
Song Lufeng did not explain, but stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at Zhang Shun on the screen:
"A wolf always needs a bone to pierce his throat."
*******
Zhang Shunzheng quietly incited the crowd:
"Look, why are they occupying the resources and not giving them to us? If we can unite with other shelters, this base will be ours!"
His words made some of the survivors fall into deep thought, but more people remained silent.
They knew how terrible the outside world was, and they knew even more what a miracle this base was.
"Don't be silly!"
"How long can they give you rooms and water? In the end, they kick you out!"
Just then, an autonomous transporter slowly drove into the survivors' residential area.
The car door opened and a rich fragrance wafted out.
"What is that?"
A child opened his eyes wide, full of curiosity and desire.
The rich fragrance spread out like an invisible hand, instantly grabbing everyone's sense of smell.
"What's that smell..."
A survivor raised his head in shock, his Adam's apple moving unconsciously.
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken loudly for years.
People rushed forward, staring at the lunch boxes being taken from the car.
White sealed lunch boxes were distributed in an orderly manner by the base's logistics personnel.
"Open it now!"
A child urged eagerly, his eyes fixed on the lunch box in his mother's hand.
Mother's hands were shaking a little as she carefully opened the lid of the box. The rich aroma of rice filled her nose.
A bowl of hot white rice comes into view. The rice grains are crystal clear, and each one looks like a pearl just picked from a dream.
There was also a portion of green vegetables on the side, which were juicy green and had a freshly cooked fragrance.
She was stunned by the small dish of fried meat. The meat was still shiny and the aroma was almost dizzying.
"What...what is this..."
Her voice was choked and tears welled up in an instant.
"Is it rice, and...meat?"
A man beside him stood there as if struck by lightning, his eyes widened.
"Does this thing really exist?"
