The bearded man's expression froze!
"Spicy soup? Where am I supposed to get you spicy soup in this freezing weather?!"
The young woman pointed her jade-like finger in the direction of Ling Feng and the others. At this moment, Ling Feng took out three baskets of steamed buns from his spatial storage, which made the young woman's stomach rumble!
"Brother Ma, look how well they're eating! Even the dogs are getting hot buns to eat. This is outrageous! They're clearly messing with people's mentality!"
Following the direction the young woman pointed, the bearded man indeed saw that Ling Feng and his group's table was laden with a sumptuous feast.
As a seasoned foodie, his round belly is the best proof. Even after the apocalypse, his figure did not change; instead, he became fatter and fatter.
The bearded man swallowed hard. He had only eaten one roasted sweet potato that morning, which was roasted at the base and was frozen solid when he ate it.
Seeing Ling Feng and the others actually eating a hot breakfast, he was immediately furious.
He decided to go and try to get some food, and if he couldn't get any, he would just steal some. He did this kind of thing all the time anyway. Besides, after observing them, he realized that these people didn't seem to be from a large base and probably didn't have any powerful backers.
After making up his mind, the bearded man put his arm around the young woman and walked towards Ling Feng's camp, saying confidently to her.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you have steamed buns and a bowl of spicy soup soon!"
The young woman's expression brightened, and she said softly:
"Brother Ma, you're so kind! I'm going to reward you properly tonight!"
The two of them swaggered up to Ling Feng and the others.
"Hey bro, the food's pretty good!" the bearded man said familiarly.
The bearded man looked at the tempting food on the table. As he got closer, the aroma of the meat wafted over him, making him swallow his saliva a few more times!
Ling Feng glanced up at the bearded man and the young woman beside him.
The young woman stared intently at Ling Feng, subtly giving him a flirtatious wink!
Ling Feng frowned and said in a low voice.
"What do you want? Get to the point quickly, don't disturb our meal!"
The bearded man's smile froze; he hadn't expected this guy to be so disrespectful.
However, he would say it with a smile:
"You've got quite a personality, bro! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma Zouri, commander of the Dragon Elephant Base. Our Dragon Elephant Base is an affiliated base of the Dragon Ping Base!"
The bearded man emphasized his words when he mentioned the Longping base, the threat in which was self-evident.
Ling Feng sneered inwardly.
If you hadn't mentioned the Longping Base, I might have let you off the hook. But since you're connected to the Longping Base, I won't be so lenient!
You, Marco, aren't leaving today!
Ling Feng feigned surprise and said:
"What? You're from the Longping base? Oh dear, my apologies for not recognizing you!"
When the bearded man saw Ling Feng change his indifferent demeanor and immediately reveal an arrogant expression, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"I'm just here to borrow some food. We haven't eaten since this morning, and your food seems quite plentiful, so I'd like to borrow some. What do you think?"
The bearded man spoke words of pleading, but his tone was actually very forceful.
Ling Feng smiled slightly and said calmly:
"No way!"
The bearded man's expression changed.
He had already brought out his backing, yet this guy still dared to go against him.
It was obviously intentional.
"Kid, do you want to go against Longping Base? Do you believe I can turn your base to rubble with just one phone call?" the bearded man said with a sinister look.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately stood up and said loudly.
"Your Longping base is truly domineering! We don't give you food, so you want to raze our base to the ground! Is there no law or justice left?!"
Ling Feng's voice was extremely loud, and the surroundings instantly fell silent as everyone turned to look at the bearded man.
Ling Feng, his face full of anger, continued speaking.
"We're just having a simple breakfast. Do you think a big power like your Longping Base needs our meager offerings? Forget it, we're just from a small base. We can't afford to offend you!"
When the people from the other small bases heard Ling Feng's words, they all looked at the bearded man with mocking expressions in their eyes!
These small bases have always survived in the cracks, and have suffered a lot of bullying from these powerful forces.
Some people who empathized with Ling Feng began to speak up for him.
"Your Longping base is really bullying us! You're treating us small bases like dirt!"
"That's right! They're used to being domineering. Relying on their power, they don't listen to any reason. They forcibly requisitioned more than 10,000 kilograms of rice from our base!"
"The superhumans from our base were also forcibly taken away by them!"
...
The bearded man's face was ashen, his chest heaving with rage.
I never expected Ling Feng to be so ruthless, publicly criticizing me from a moral high ground, leaving me in a dilemma.
He has now become the target of public criticism, and most importantly, he has also damaged the reputation of the Longping training base.
All I wanted was a steamed bun, how did things end up like this!
If the people at the base find out that I've ruined their reputation, do you think I'll have a good outcome?
But what upset him even more was yet to come.
The young woman spoke with an air of arrogance.
