Chapter 460: End of Summer Solstice (Part 1)
The more Yue Shengliang got along with her, the more he felt that she was a big shot, and the kind that he could easily get close to.
Every morning when I wake up and feel that the boss and I are living in the same room, I am extremely grateful for the golden apple.
It must be the golden apple that made her meet this Sanqi boss!
When she went hunting with Sanqi, she could get a dozen osmanthus tree seedlings just by picking up random wooden boxes.
[Simple or not]: "Anyway, my house and kiln have been equipped with lightning rods, so it should be no problem for me to survive until the end of this solar term."
[Xia Ri Bin Bin]: "Me too. I was really afraid of another furnace explosion. At the time, I thought an atomic bomb had exploded in my house. I was scared to death."
[The Really Beautiful Queen Jian Wenshun]: "Me too. This thunder is too scary. I don't know what the players who didn't come to the territory should do. They must be scared just by watching and hearing it."
[Yue Shengliang who loves to eat sweet-scented osmanthus fish]: "Also, the frequent thunder is very noisy, and the lightning is blinding, so I can't sleep well."
[Zhong Haibin who loves almond butter]: "I am fearless. There are always creatures on earth who dare to fall asleep listening to thunder."
[Xin Jing]: "Every time I see the people upstairs bubbling, I always wonder how he managed to get here."
[Zhong Haibin who loves almond butter]: "You don't understand, kid. This is destiny."
[Yan Huan]: "For example, I can withstand the thunder and survive. I will eventually pierce this darkness——"
The players in the territory are already very familiar with the immature remarks that Yan Huan makes from time to time.
In fact, everyone thinks it's quite funny. The player who usually looks aloof, quiet and difficult to get along with is actually a middle school boy who is almost 30 years old.
【One Two Three Four Seven Seven Seven】: "Yan Huan knows how to be funny."
[Carefree Butterfly]: "Yan Huan herself isn't embarrassed anyway, so we just need to laugh and that's it."
…………
The number of surviving players in Shuling 1 area is 6754, and this number will not change much in the next few days.
Compared with the Shuying area, it seems much better.
The Shuying territory is actually not bad. Everyone gets along well with each other, and there is a player like Shuying who is highly respected and has the lifeline (medical skills) as the lord.
There are also friends like Zhong Xiu who have maxed out their military strength and can withstand attacks from hundreds of players alone, providing auxiliary military suppression, which has completely controlled this territory.
The heavier the rain, the better it can store water in the reservoirs that have been upgraded to the highest level.
There was enough food in the territory. With the efforts of Shuying and several chefs, surviving to the last day was not a problem at all.
It is the players of Sunshine Territory who have to worry about survival.
The three leaders were not far-sighted enough in management, and the territory did not have enough food reserves.
Originally, the food that Yu Ding and others hunted was enough, but it was not stored properly and its shelf life was greatly shortened, which directly resulted in a lot of meat that could have been eaten normally becoming expired.
No one noticed at first, but during the solar terms, the protective shield gave players more protection, but it also prevented them from going out at all.
Every day's food has to be prepared by the women in the territory and then sent to them, and fresh food will of course be given priority to the three leaders in the territory.
Next are those responsible for hunting and some players with excellent professional skills.
What's left is food that is about to expire and is given to those insignificant players.
What’s even worse is that when food is constantly being consumed and someone has to eat expired meat, the first to suffer are the women who are responsible for cooking.
Half of them are the mothers of the players in this territory, and the other half are their wives.
Without exception, they were all taciturn. Even though there were ten women living together, they rarely communicated verbally.
They also develop an instinctive obedience to the words of their husbands or sons.
When they came into the game, most of them were similar to Pan Tiantian. They met their husbands or sons by various strange "coincidences".
But they don’t have as much luck as Pan Tiantian, so they can only obey the orders of their sons or husbands and live numbly.
Each of them had a withered face and sunken eyes, and there was no life in those eyes.
Their skin is covered with deep wrinkles, recording all of their unspeakable past.
Every woman sitting there was like a puppet, without a soul of her own, bound from head to toe by shackles that were heavy and numb.
But what good will happen to them if they eat expired food?
The first woman who began to suffer from stomach cramps and severe spasms after eating expired food was a woman in her thirties.
The pain did not cause much change in her expression. Instead, as she watched her health bar begin to deplete little by little, a rare smile appeared on her face.
In the dark room, she seemed to have found the long-awaited redemption.
There was a faint gleam in his eyes that tugged at the heartstrings of the other women.
The other women worked even harder and ate the rice in big mouthfuls, not leaving a single grain behind.
After eating two meals in a row and experiencing terrible pain accompanied by blood loss, these women seemed to see the light waving at them.
They threw themselves into the arms of death as if relieved from a heavy burden and closed their eyes one by one.
The youngest one among them curled up on the ground, her facial features distorted by the pain and cold sweat pouring out. However, it was also under this stimulation that a corner of those almost forgotten memories was finally revealed.
She was on her way home from school at night when a pair of thugs covered her mouth and nose.
Then she went to a backward mountain village where she was completely unfamiliar with and became a man's wife.
For nearly twenty years, her soul had been consumed to the point of being fragile and numb.
At first, I tried everything I could, whether it was escaping, going on a hunger strike, committing suicide, or just enduring it, calling the police, or seeking help from outsiders.
It’s a pity that no one succeeded.
After that night, she never saw her parents again.
After years of beatings, even her own name and past were gradually sealed away, becoming fragments in her memory, waiting to be completely dried and blown away.
"Dad...Mom..."
She hadn't called him by this name for almost eighteen years, and even the pronunciation sounded dry and unfamiliar.
On August 10th, Yangguang woke up early in the morning and did not get to eat his favorite noodles.
His first reaction was to send a message to his mother and scold her severely.
