Area D.

Liu Ming and Gao Yun have been hiding in Area D these days in fear. The slightest disturbance would make them hide here and there like frightened birds.

Gao Yun was really upset. She could not imagine that Liu Ming would be so bold as to participate in the riot! Fortunately, he escaped and successfully hid from countless pursuits and searches. But such a life made her feel worse than death.

But she could not even blame Liu Ming, because they had already reached the point of being penniless. The food in the base was not only expensive, but also pitifully scarce. They had no way to buy it even if they wanted to.

She was so hungry that she felt dizzy every day. She was really afraid that she would starve to death. She wanted to find Wang Feier, but she was afraid that she would be caught by Li Xue's men as soon as she showed up. She could only lie in the broken house in a daze, praying every day that Liu Ming could find more food.

Perhaps her prayers worked. One night, Liu Ming ran back mysteriously and took out a large piece of cooked meat from his arms. She rushed over with shining eyes, grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

After she wolfed down the meat, she found that Liu Ming had a weird smile on his face and looked at her silently.

She then realized that she had eaten all the meat, and she didn't know whether Liu Ming had eaten it or not. She cursed herself for being too careless, and at the same time worried that Liu Ming would think she was selfish. She said embarrassedly : "Brother Ming, I'm sorry, I'm too hungry, I should have left some for you."

Liu Ming did not blame her for anything, but smiled and said: "It's okay, I've already eaten, are you full?"

Gao Yun was relieved, but said with a worried look: "Brother Ming, have you really eaten? Don't just think about letting me eat and starve yourself."

Liu Ming still Smiling: "I really have eaten it, you are worried about me."

Gao Yun then laughed: "Brother Ming, the meat just now is so delicious! I feel like I have never eaten such delicious meat."

Liu Ming still smiled: "Really? Do you like it?"

Gao Yun nodded happily, and then she remembered something: "Brother Ming, where did this meat come from? What kind of meat is this?"

She couldn't remember how long she hadn't eaten meat. She had eaten it in the restaurant where Wang Feier asked her to discuss something, but the meat was all frozen meat, and there was no freshness at all. But the meat she ate just now was very fresh and left a lasting aftertaste. She couldn't help but be a little curious, where did Liu Ming find this fresh meat?

Liu Ming laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. If you like it, I will bring it back to you later."

Gao Yun became even more curious and chased Liu Ming and asked, "Brother Ming, just tell me."

Liu Ming didn't want to say it, but Gao Yun kept asking.

After a long while, Liu Ming couldn't stand Gao Yun's pestering and had to say, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" Gao Yun nodded.

Liu Ming's face was a little complicated. He hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "This is fragrant meat."

"Fragrant meat? What kind of meat is fragrant meat?" Gao Yun was even more confused.

"Yun'er, don't worry about it. As long as there is food, why worry about it?" Liu Ming refused to say anything more.

Gao Yun couldn't help but think more. Why was Liu Ming's attitude so strange? It was just some meat. She wouldn't have any bad intentions. And where did he get the meat? It was incredible that he could get such meat. But she couldn't think of anything, so she had to put it behind her. Liu Ming was right. Who cares? As long as there was something to eat, it was fine.

In the next few days, Liu Ming always brought back some fragrant meat. Sometimes they ate together, and sometimes she ate alone. The taste of the meat was different, some were old, and some were tender. With enough food, her body recovered, and she could finally go out for a walk.

However, this time she went out, she was shocked.

She walked on the chaotic streets of District D, frowning in disgust. She was really fed up with this hellhole!

On a street corner, she saw a group of skinny women with shabby clothes gathered together, whispering something. Gao Yun usually disdained to listen to these women's gossip. She was different from them. Her status was much higher than theirs. Listening to their meaningless words was simply a loss for her.

But today, for some reason, she stopped and wanted to listen to what they were talking about. She didn't want these women to find out that she was eavesdropping, so she deliberately walked to a corner that was very close to them, but they wouldn't easily find her.

Those women didn't notice that anyone was listening to them at all. They all talked with mysterious and hateful expressions on their faces.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone is missing in our D area again." A woman with dry yellow hair said in a low voice.

"I know, it's nothing strange. There have been a few missing people in D area recently." Another woman with a sallow face said with a hint of indifference in her tone. "

Aren't you surprised? Where did those missing people go?" The woman with dry yellow hair said mysteriously.

"Who knows? Didn't they say that they couldn't find their whereabouts? It's really strange. These people are fine and have not left the base, so how can we find them?" A woman wearing clothes full of patches said curiously.

The woman with dry yellow hair looked around vigilantly, and found that no one noticed them here, so she whispered: "I'm telling you, my boss said that these missing people may have been cooked and eaten!"

"Oh my God, it's impossible!"

"Who dares to do such a heinous thing? This will be punished by God!"

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense, be careful to get into trouble."

Several women said with horror and fear.

Gao Yun hid in the corner, listening to their words, and somehow, she felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, these women are really not hungry enough, and they still have time to gossip about such things.

The woman with dry yellow hair said nonchalantly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Besides, how can these hungry people fear God's judgment? My boss said that many people have smelled the aroma of cooking meat recently. In our current situation, except for those officials, who in the base is not trying to survive?"

"But this can't be said that those people are eating... people!" said the woman in patched clothes.
