“Gulp gulp!”
The meat in the pot kept bubbling and the tempting meat aroma spread. The little girl stared at the aluminum pot with her eyes wide open and her saliva kept flowing down.
Even the little boy in the quilt didn't know he was scared. He poked his head out from under the quilt and stared at the pot of meat.
They have never eaten meat since they were born, so it's good enough for them to eat protein nuggets, let alone stewed meat?
So they couldn't control their saliva at all and it kept flowing down, soon wetting the small area of the ground.
Zhao Lin ignored them. Seeing that the meat was almost cooked, he picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.
The mouth was full of oil after taking a bite. The two children who saw it could not help it and crawled over unconsciously.
"Um... Big Brother, can you give us a bite? Just one bite!"
The little girl pleaded, drooling.
It is now like an obedient puppy, looking at Zhao Lin pitifully.
Zhao Lin looked at her with interest, "How dare you come over here? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now?"
"As long as you can let me eat some meat, I will be willing to die..." The little girl wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't come out clean.
The little boy was risking his life. It was just a matter of death, wasn't it?
If I could eat barbecue before I die, or even just drink some broth, I would have no regrets when I die.
Zhao Lin looked at them with a smile, "You can eat meat if you want, but you have to tell me about the situation in this shantytown. Has anything strange happened here recently?"
"Well... strange things happen every day in places like shantytowns. Can I wait until we finish eating before I tell you?" The little girl's saliva was still flowing.
It seems that if I don’t eat, I will soon die of dehydration.
Zhao Lin couldn't help but feel pity. What did these children do wrong?
"Eat, eat, these are all yours!"
Zhao Lin brought the pot directly in front of them.
"Thank you, big brother!"
"Thank you, big brother!"
The little girl thanked him quickly and grabbed the aluminum pot. She didn't even care about the blisters on her hands and stuffed the stewed meat into her mouth.
Even though it was extremely hot, I still didn't stop.
"I want to eat too, please leave some for me..."
The little boy also rushed over, and the two children ate up all the dozen pieces of meat, and finally licked the pot clean.
"Is this what meat tastes like? It smells so good. I never thought we would be able to eat meat one day. Hahahaha..."
The two children started crying while laughing, and their tears kept rolling down.
The little clown's face became even more unrecognizable.
After they calmed down, Zhao Lin asked, "Can you tell me now?"
“Yes, yes…”
The little girl hurriedly came and sat down next to Zhao Lin, and began to talk about some strange things in the shantytown.
Some children were sent away as soon as they were born, and some gangs fought over food and women.
In the end, he accidentally beat the woman to death, and then both sides left.
Zhao Lin listened to a lot, but didn't hear the news he wanted to hear, and couldn't help feeling discouraged.
The sky soon brightened, and the two children fell into a deep sleep while talking.
Zhao Lin sat by the fire, constantly adding firewood, and watched the sky brighten.
The originally silent shantytown became bustling today, with pedestrians appearing on the road. The people here were all unkempt and skinny.
Their bodies were covered with green pustules, and some of the older ones fell to the ground and could never get up again.
The body just lay on the street and no one cared.
However, there was a person who went up and searched the pockets of the corpse, but found nothing and left cursing.
After a long time, two people who looked healthier finally came over.
He took one look at the body on the ground and pushed it away on a cart.
Zhao Lin's thoughts couldn't help but return to the Zhaodu safe zone. Although super powers and serums have become popular, they have nothing to do with these ordinary people.
There is still a long way to go before it can be fully popularized among the general public.
The situation in the north is much better than here. With Zhao Lin's help, radiation serum is no longer in short supply, and most people can get an injection within a few months.
It’s not as miserable as the people here.
Just at this moment, two men came over. They glanced at the two children in the shed and then looked at Zhao Lin.
"Hey boy, do you want to sell these two children? How about two egg whites?" the man shouted at Zhao Lin.
"Two people are worth two protein blocks? You are too unfair!" Zhao Lin said unhappily.
"Don't pull it!"
"What kind of world is this now? Protein is the most important thing. With protein, you can survive. And you have two less burdens around you. Why not?"
"As long as you sell these two children to us, you will have enough food to eat in the future, and you don't have to worry about their life or death. How great is that."
The two children were also awakened by their voices. When they heard that they were going to be bought, they hurriedly hid behind Zhao Lin.
The little girl said nervously: "Brother, please don't sell us out. They are all bad people. No one who follows them can come back..."
Zhao Lin nodded and rejected them directly.
"It's so unlucky that we still haven't reached an agreement so early in the morning. Let's go!"
The two of them didn't waste any time and just turned around and left.
But before leaving, he looked at the two children meaningfully.
"Do you know them?" Zhao Lin looked at the little girl.
"I know them. They often pick up children in this area, saying they want them to work in factories. They provide food and accommodation!"
"As a result, no one who went with them came back. I heard that all the children were sold by them. We don’t know where they were sold to." The little girl said fearfully.
Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at their backs, then suddenly smiled coldly!
