Suddenly, a child found a food packaging bag from the garbage. The child quickly picked up the packaging bag, held it tightly in his hand, and licked it desperately with his tongue. There was nothing else on it except dirty garbage. When the other children saw it, they rushed over and tried to snatch the packaging bag from him. The child held the packaging bag tightly in his arms and

refused to let go no matter how hard they pulled. After trying for a long time without success, the children let go in anger. After making sure that there was no more deceptive things in the garbage, they left with a curse. When the child saw that everyone had left, he quickly walked to the corner of the wall, took out the packaging again and licked it carefully.

Li Xue and a few others stood in the distance and watched quietly. Except for Li Xue who had a calm face, the other three were watching this scene in shock. She

continued to move forward with a few others, as she had not yet reached her destination.

After walking for about half an hour, they stopped in front of a large tent area.

It was called a tent area, but in fact it was just some rags, cardboard, and wooden boards, which were barely enough to hide. How could there be tents in such an environment? People who have tents are not here, and they basically gather together to take care of each other. If you put up a tent here, it will probably be stolen in a short time without leaving even a thread.

No matter where you are, there are levels. Even this run-down D area is no exception. People who have tents are considered to have a good life in D area.

Li Xue walked towards the tent area. Xiao Ye led Hao Hao in the middle, and Jian Hui walked at the end. It was so chaotic here, and they had to keep an eye on Hao Hao. The people

living in these tent areas were basically the elderly, the infirm, or children.

When the people inside saw the strangers coming, they first looked at them curiously. After seeing how they were dressed, most of them did the same as the people outside, quickly dodging, and then looking at them cautiously.

There were also a small number of people who looked at them steadily, with envy or jealousy flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Ye and Jian Hui looked at those people, secretly shocked, and Xiao Ye held Hao Hao tightly. The plots of cannibalism in the apocalyptic novels that he had read before clearly emerged in his mind. She was afraid that if she was careless, she would lose Haohao, and then he would be cooked and eaten like in the novel.

It was almost noon, and the people in the tent area had to start preparing food.

Li Xue took a few people to find an empty corner to stand. At this time, Haohao was so hungry that he didn't feel anything else. When he saw a woman taking out a pot, his eyes were glued to the pot. Li Xue looked at Haohao and really didn't know what to say. This innocent look usually made her very rare, but now it made her feel powerless.

Those people looked at Li Xue and the others vigilantly for a long time and found that they were just standing quietly in that corner, unlike those people who usually broke into Area D to act arrogantly. So they each returned to the small area where they lived and prepared to get something to fill their stomachs.

The woman holding the pot took out a dirty water bottle from behind her and carefully poured some water into the pot. The base provides free drinking water every day, one kilogram of water per person per day. However, no food is provided in Areas D and C.

Then the woman hid the bottle again, found some dried garbage, put it on the stove made of a few stones, took out a lighter, lit it, and put the pot of water on it. When the water in the pot started to steam slightly, she quickly put out the fire. The woman looked around again, and after making sure that no one was around, she secretly took out a small piece of black steamed bun from her arms. She took a small bite carefully and hid it again. She chewed the steamed bun slowly for two minutes. It seemed that there was nothing more in her mouth. She picked up the steaming pot with some regret and drank the hot water slowly. Finally, she touched her stomach, smiled with satisfaction, stood up and put the pot back.

Jian Hui and Xiao Ye watched all the actions of this woman in silence. So this is the living condition of ordinary people in the end times? It is unknown how long this woman has kept the steamed bun like a treasure. She was so cautious, afraid of biting too much. It was known that this steamed bun was the only food for this woman at present. When she was boiling water, she was reluctant to use even the dry garbage. Has the material shortage of this base reached this level? Even garbage is a luxury.

Haohao looked at the woman in amazement. Could that piece of steamed bread be so precious? Can such a small bite really fill his stomach? These people are really pitiful.

Li Xue also watched silently. She remembered that in her previous life, during those years in District D, she and Haohao lived worse than this woman. Seeing Haohao's stunned look, Li Xue felt very distressed. However, in this life, not only did she have to be strong, but her Haohao must also be strong. Only when she is strong can she have the power to survive. So she had to be cruel and educate Haohao.

Li Xue greeted a few people and prepared to go and see what was going on.

At this time, a few young people suddenly ran out from the side. Xiaoye quickly picked up Haohao, fearing that those people were coming for them. As a result, those people didn't even bother to look at them, and rushed directly into the tent of the woman just now.

Then they heard the woman crying. "Please, I really have nothing to eat, please let me go!" "

Damn, you stinky woman, you dare to lie, I just saw you eating, why don't you hand it over quickly!"

"I really have no food, really nothing." The woman struggled to run out, and those people quickly stopped her. But the woman also ran out of the tent, just enough for Li Xue and the others to have a closer look.

"Bitch, you dare to run!" One of the older men slapped the woman in the face. The woman was beaten to the ground, still mumbling, "I really have nothing left, please let me go, I beg you."

How could those people believe her? "Go to her tent and search it!" The man who beat her pointed at two people, and the two people turned around and went into the tent. The woman quickly stood up and wanted to stop them, but as soon as she stood up, she was kicked to the ground by the man again: "Be quiet."

The woman cried and could only watch the two people throwing her things everywhere.

Soon, the two people turned the small tent upside down. The two people walked back angrily and shook their heads at the men who beat them. In the woman's tent, besides a pile of tattered clothes and dried garbage, the only thing that could go into her stomach was the half-empty bottle of water. The half bottle of water was also held in the hand of a man.
