Except for Junjue, who remained unfazed, the other six captains were dumbfounded. After the official finished speaking, they swallowed hard and said with difficulty:
"Wilder rice, canned white worms, canned cockroaches, fried maggots, spicy leeches, spicy and sour cockroaches, steamed rotten gray mushrooms, spicy and rotten gray mushrooms?"
Is this thing even edible? I feel so... ugh! Yue Ying couldn't take it anymore. Smelling the stench, she quickly covered her mouth and ran outside to vomit.
"Brother, I can't take it anymore... Ugh!" Su Ye rushed out quickly, afraid that he would throw up there.
Following him out were Di Zhantian, Ye Yuan, and Dongfang Ao.
"Isn't it just worm rice, canned white worms, canned cockroaches, fried maggots, spicy leeches, spicy and sour cockroaches, steamed rotten gray mushrooms, and spicy rotten gray mushrooms?"
"Is it really that scary? We eat it every day!" The squad leader looked at the group of people running away with a bewildered expression, and said to the unfazed Lord beside him.
"I think it's acceptable, but it's normal that they haven't seen it before." Junjue picked up a piece of fried maggots and ate it, finding it quite delicious.
"Brother, you know your stuff!" the squad leader said to Junjue, before picking up a rotten gray mushroom and eating it himself.
When the six returned and saw the Duke and the squad leader eating with great relish, they asked excitedly:
"Captain, how's the questioning going?"
"I think it's acceptable. You can try it. This could be a source of food for the future."
Perhaps in another ten or eight years, even food like this will be a luxury.
The thought that the putrid gray mushrooms were cultivated from corpses makes one wonder what would happen if so many corpses were brought in ten or eight years from now.
Now that zombies have descended, this thing is even harder to find.
The squad leader picked up a piece of the rotten mushroom and ate it. The group of people could clearly see the veins on his forehead bulging as he struggled to swallow it.
"This brother is right. These mushrooms may smell terrible, but they require a lot of corpses to cultivate."
There aren't as many corpses as there were during a natural disaster, so production is much lower than before. It'll be harder to find food in the future!
"Cultivated from corpses?" Su Ye asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Good heavens, no wonder it stinks so badly, and it has a strong putrid smell." Di Zhantian covered his nose in horror.
"I want to try!" Dongfang Ao stared intently at the terrifying dishes on the table and mustered his courage to speak.
"I'd like to try too," Ye Yuan said, swallowing hard.
"Shall we go together?" Yue Chi sat on the table.
"good!"
After the three of them sat down, they picked up a piece of rotten mushroom together, gritted their teeth, covered their noses, and put it into their mouths at the same time.
Instantly, the mouths of the three people were filled with a putrid stench. The smell was so overpowering that they couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
The veins on everyone's foreheads bulged, and they were pale and powerless from enduring the pain.
Yue Ying and Su Ye, who had been observing the expressions of the group, couldn't help but ask:
"Guys, how's it?"
"Try it yourself, it's fucking addictive."
"I can't take it anymore!"
"I just couldn't hold back anymore."
The three of them had barely finished speaking when they rushed out the door.
"Ugh... ugh..."
"vomit…"
"vomit…"
A series of vomiting sounds came from inside, which startled the two people who hadn't tried it before.
"Yingying, maybe we shouldn't even try it," Su Ye said with concern.
"I... okay! Let's eat something else."
Seeing his group of pale-faced teammates, the Duke said to the squad leader beside him, whose face was also contorted with rage:
"How about I treat everyone to dinner? We can leave these dishes for someone else!"
"Brother, it has been more than ten months since the natural disaster struck the end times."
"We still had some last month, but the base supports hundreds of thousands of people, and with only expenses and no income, we've long since run out of food," the squad leader said helplessly.
He knew these things would taste awful, but he had no choice! It was better than starving to death!
"Aren't there official secret granaries in various places? Have they all been brought out?" the Duke inquired.
Hearing Junjue's words, the squad leader sighed and said, "It seems there are still two in the capital, but the highest leader is missing, and we below don't know their exact location."
"Is that so? Then hurry up and find that person. With those two granaries, the survivors in the capital won't have to go hungry for ten years," Su Ye replied.
"We're trying our best to find them, but the most important thing right now is that we've run out of weapons. The zombies are leveling up too fast these days. We need to go and get the weapons back tomorrow," the squad leader said with a worried expression.
"Okay! We'll do our best to cooperate. Everyone, please wait a moment while I go to the car to get your lunchboxes." Junjue said and quickly left.
The captains had been fighting for four or five hours; there was no reason for them to eat such unpalatable food.
"Jue really cares about us! Everyone come and take these dishes away, I'll ask when it's time to eat!"
"This stuff is absolutely inedible, it's fucking unpalatable." Di Zhantian walked back, his face pale, and said hurriedly.
“Okay!” Su Ye replied, and he and his brothers each picked up two plates of food. They had just stepped out the door when they asked the people eating.
"Who wants these dishes? They're free for you."
"I want it!"
"I want one too!"
"Me too~"
A group of survivors who were eating heard that there was free food, so they rushed to grab it.
"Hey hey hey~ Everyone be careful... don't grab it!" Su Ye and his brothers stared dumbfounded at the group of people scrambling to get ahead.
They never expected that something so unpalatable would be so popular.
Have they gotten too cocky?
Or is life just too good every day?
Are they unaware of the suffering outside?
"Great, I managed to snag a plate of worm rice."
"I snatched a plate of canned worms from him."
"I managed to snag a plate of canned cockroaches and a plate of fried maggots."
"Great! This is worth ten points!"
………
Seeing a group of people who had managed to grab the food so happy, and eating with such relish without any expression, made Di Zhantian, Dongfang Ao, Su Ye, and Ye Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
They didn't know how to describe their feelings, so they could only turn around and leave.
Back in the dining hall, I saw that Junjue had already brought out self-heating meals, and everyone also had a can of meat, so I sat back down and heated my rice.
The little girl examined the self-heating rice and canned food like they were precious treasures, looking them up and down with great excitement, and said:
"Brother, thank you so much! I haven't had this in ages, I've almost forgotten what rice and meat taste like."
"Don't mention it. We were lucky to find this. Once we've had it, it won't be available again," the Duke said nonchalantly.
"I'm already very satisfied to be able to eat this once today. I want to cherish this hard-won meal." After saying this, the little leader tried hard to smell the aroma inside, and his mouth was watering.
