Chapter 1 A Peaceful Day (Prologue)



"Are you seducing me?" Jiang Ling finally understood. "Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Lin Yi covered up her embarrassment with laughter, and then continued to report yesterday's news attentively.

That news really wasn't worth talking about. The shop was smaller now, so how could there be so many events that could be considered news? Most of the people here had survived the war, and they had seen all sorts of storms before. This little local incident was just a tad bit of shit, and it was really nothing.

However, Jiang Ling was still curious about Lin Yi's words. She picked up her tray at the cafeteria entrance and lined up at the food counter.

This cafeteria was naturally not the one she had seen when she first came to Jinling. It was a dual-use cafeteria for both military and civilian use. . . . . To be more precise, it was a civilian cafeteria under quasi-military management.

Jiang Ling handed two meal tickets to the food pick-up window, then put her tray into the window, and a rectangular paper box was placed on her tray.

She arrived a little late, and yesterday's set meal No. 7 was sold out, so she chose set No. 9.

Inside the box were four dishes and a soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. Without a doubt, this thing was synthetic food, fresh off the production line.

Since the desalination plant's reconstruction was completed, deuterium-tritium thermonuclear fusion fuel has been able to temporarily meet the metropolitan area's needs. Although this fuel is still slightly inferior to helium-3, and the excessive neutron radiation produced by fusion will accelerate the aging of the first wall material of the fusion device, extending maintenance cycles, the reserves are sufficient, enough for people to use for a long time.

As a result, the government finally lifted the power and water restrictions, and some business activities began to recover, including the rise of synthetic food.

The people at the site can finally say goodbye to those questionable foods. Now the taste and texture of synthetic foods are really not bad!

Of course, Jiang Ling was tired of this set meal, so she used a spoon to mix the contents of the box together, eventually blending them into a yellow-brown mess. Essentially, those things were different combinations of nutrients, and when they were stuffed into her stomach, they looked pretty much like what they were now.

Food has different meanings in different periods, but at this time, it is often referred to as "fuel for humanoid weapons."

She ignored the terrible-looking lunch in front of her and put the terminal on the table and started searching for the content she was interested in.

The desalination plant has been built for a whole year, but the information about it on the Internet is still just a few words. Even the short videos that have been secretly filmed and leaked are very few, and most of them are blurry and seem to be there and not there.

The defense line on the edge of the urban area has been basically stabilized. There are reports that they want to build an isolation wall similar to the Great Wall of Despair outside the moderately polluted area, but it has never been approved.

Tsk tsk tsk, the information on the Internet is still the same!

"Ah~" Jiang Ling stared at the screen and swallowed a mouthful of porridge.
