"What is that?!"
A woman's voice trembled, as if in a dream.
"What a nice smell! What a nice smell!"
"Is that... cooking?"
"And meat..."
"Food from the Golden Age!"
The Golden Age, that mythical era of abundance and security, is an unattainable dream rooted in their hearts!
The aroma stimulated everyone's senses, and hunger made their stomachs contract even tighter.
One of the children looked up and sniffed hard.
"It smells so good, I want to eat it."
The mother hurriedly covered the child's mouth, her eyes full of warning and fear.
"Don't talk. Don't let Tu Rong hear you."
He looked at the pots again and swallowed his saliva!
But the fragrance lingered around them like a demon, tearing at the last bit of sanity of the survivors.
Some people lowered their heads and clenched their fists, their teeth chattering.
"Why can they eat but we have to go hungry?"
Everyone was speechless.
Just as everyone was silent, another group of people walked out of the base.
It was the survivor that Zhang Shun brought in.
After a day of recuperation, their sallow faces regained color and their bodies regained strength.
The survivors of Rose Fort were very excited to see them.
"Look! People from Mizukubo Base!"
"How did they get out of that giant turtle?"
"They look great!"
"They actually wore new clothes. What material are they made of?"
Everyone was even more shocked!
These people were not particular about food. After coming out, they just held their bowls, ate rice and drank soup. The smell was even more delicious.
After eating, they went back into the base together.
A thin girl quietly walked down the wall.
Her steps were staggering, because she was hungry. With a hint of timid courage, she moved towards the Xuanwu base.
An old lady at the base was pouring cooked porridge into a bowl and was stunned when she saw the little girl.
"Are you hungry, kid?"
The little girl nodded, her eyes timid but filled with deep desire.
The mother smiled and handed her the bowl of porridge.
"Come on, drink."
The little girl took the porridge, her hands trembling slightly.
She bent her head and took a sip. The fragrance made her tears burst out instantly.
"What is this...what kind of food is this?"
Her voice was trembling with disbelief.
She had never eaten food that tasted so good. It was completely different from the taste of nutritional supplements.
When she was hungry, she even ate dirt.
But now, what is she eating?
My little tummy feels so comfortable and warm!
I couldn't help it and tears rolled down my cheeks.
The eldest mother felt a flash of heartache. She had lost her son and granddaughter, and this child made her feel particularly sad.
He gently touched her head and said with a smile.
"Drink, dear child, and don't cry."
The survivors on the wall watched this scene, their eyes filled with desire and shock.
Their faces were sallow and their eyes were dull, forming a sharp contrast with the faces of the people in the city.
A man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of desire.
"It smells so good, I want to try it too, who's coming with me?"
The other person retorted in a low voice with a complicated look in his eyes.
"But do we dare to take it? Tu Rong will kill us."
Their argument did not last long.
They turned their gaze once again.
The residents of the Xuanwu base beside the stove laughed loudly. They were dressed neatly and had healthy rosy faces, as if they had nothing to do with this wasteland.
Inside the wall, the hope and despair of the survivors were intertwined in the aroma, and Tu Rong's gaze shone through the tent like a beast about to attack.
He murmured softly, greed burning in his eyes.
"The Xuanwu Base is so rich... They give such precious food to these bastards at will..."
In the square, Tu Rong stood on a high platform, scanning the crowd with a cold gaze.
He waved his hand, and his men immediately drove the survivors back, with sticks swinging in the air, making a thrilling sound of breaking wind.
"Anyone who dares to get close to the Xuanwu base will have his legs broken!"
His voice was cold and carried an unquestionable majesty.
The thin girl held the thick porridge and stood at the edge carefully.
"Bang!"
The stick fell, the bowl smashed to the ground, the porridge spilled all over the floor, and the girl's tears slid down her cheeks.
"Why are you crying? Go back!"
Tu Rong's men roared fiercely and raised their hands to continue beating.
The girl's sobbing made the onlookers feel heartbroken, but no one dared to step forward.
At this moment, a strong woman rushed over and stood in front of the girl.
"Hit me if you dare! What's a kid's ability?"
The mother's eyes widened with anger. She reached out and pulled the girl up, protecting her behind her.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Tu Rong, who just sneered.
"You feel weak? Hit me!"
bump!
The stick fell, but did not hit the little girl because the mother caught the stick.
The aunt looks simple.
In reality, he is a C-class psychic.
She stretched out her hand and with a force, threw the man holding the stick to the ground.
Everyone looked at her in shock.
"C-rank power esper!"
There aren't many C-level psychics in Rose Fortress. This lady looks ordinary, but she's actually a C-level!
What level are the others?
The mother smiled coldly and said to the little girl,
"Don't cry, follow me. I'll take you to our Xuanwu City, and you'll never be hungry again!"
The little girl looked at the magnificent Xuanwu base, nodded, wiped away her tears, and followed her mother in.
"Stop them!"
The group of people were unwilling to give up and wanted to fight back, but a team of mechanical soldiers came running over with guns pointed at them.
Another team of warriors came over, their weapons emitting a terrifying cold light. How could they dare to move?
"Come on, what are you looking at? Go back!"
After the others were driven back to the Rose Fortress, they gathered at the wall, their eyes always fixed on the Xuanwu Base in the distance.
"Look, what is that? Their buildings are actually glowing."
"That's electricity. Real electricity!"
"They also have rice and meat..."
"If we could live there, even for one day, it would be worth dying for."
More and more people gathered inside the wall, and their whispers were filled with longing for the Xuanwu Base.
They saw the orderly lives of the residents of the base, where the children had rosy faces and were neatly dressed;
But he himself was pale and thin, and his clothes were tattered.
When night fell, a group of survivors refused to be stopped and quietly climbed over the wall and approached the Xuanwu base.
"Hurry up, don't get discovered!"
They staggered and ran desperately towards the base.
As they approached, Tu Rong's men caught up with them.
