Chapter 83 After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we went to queue up.



"Okay!" Junjue took out a boiled duck leg and a roasted chicken leg and handed them to Wan'er.

"I'll get more if it's not enough!"

"That's enough, these two are enough for me to eat until I'm stuffed." He took them and started eating without any hesitation. These two chicken and duck legs weren't the usual small ones; they had almost half of each leg with meat on it.

A group of people were queuing outside, while a young couple quickly ate their food in a small, closed room, taking more than ten minutes to finish.

After carefully observing that there was nothing unusual about the two dogs, Junjue poured water for them, since they had finished their dog food. He wanted to give them some water to quench their thirst before they died of thirst that day.

"I want to have some too." After eating two chicken and duck legs, Wan'er's mouth was a little dry.

"Okay!" He took out a cup of warm water that had been filled with 2,000 milliliters and handed it to Wan'er, then took out another one for himself to drink.

This was prepared in advance in the space, just in case of any emergencies.

Because there are so many kinds of food, even the food itself is displayed on several large shelves, with frequently eaten foods placed on them, so you don't have to worry about choosing what you want to eat and it's all within easy reach.

Next to the spare food in the space, he also placed five or six 100-kilogram bags of dog food, and there were also many bundles of plastic bags of various sizes nearby, so that he could easily take things out at any time.

"I'm so full! It's so great to have a boyfriend with such great looks. While others are starving, I can still eat what I love. Thank you!"

Wan'er handed the large water glass to Junjue and thanked him sincerely. No matter what, she felt that she had hit the jackpot.

Because Junjue not only had to support her, but also help her raise two little mixed-breed dogs.

She knew she wouldn't be able to protect these two little ones in the future, but having a boyfriend changed everything; she had no way to repay him except to love him as much as she could.

"You don't need to be so polite with me. If you feel bad about it, just love me well from now on." Junjue put the two dog bowls back into his space, leaving the blanket on the ground.

"Okay! Let's go out and line up! I'm curious how the authorities manage hundreds of thousands of refugees." Today is the first time we're receiving supplies, and Shangguan Wan'er is eager to see what kind of food the official shelters are distributing.

"Hmm!" The Duke was already used to these scenes, having seen too many in his previous life.

"Master is about to go out and line up for food. You two little guys, don't run around! Otherwise, someone else will catch you and eat you, and you'll never see your master again," Wan'er instructed the two little dogs.

"Awoo~" Wuhei stretched out its front paws and nodded in response.

Seeing Wu Hei's actions, Huang Huacai also tried to imitate them.

This is one of the various actions that Shangguan Wan'er used to teach her two puppies when she was lonely and bored. She taught them many things, such as nodding, shaking their heads, lying down, rolling over, squatting, and standing. She also taught them various forms of communication.

I didn't expect Wu Hei to be so smart as to understand it. Although Huang Huacai is still a bit confused, he should know quite a bit.

Seeing how intelligent the two little creatures were, Junjue smiled and, with his girlfriend and the two little dogs beside him, opened the door of the small room and walked towards the crowd outside the hall.

After Junjue brought Wan'er to the hall, Wan'er witnessed the scene of food being distributed and was completely dumbfounded.

A couple dressed in matching outfits stood out in the crowd with two small mixed-breed dogs, attracting the attention of those queuing around them.

She, Junjue, held Wan'er's hand and followed behind the long queue of more than a dozen people.

He wasn't particularly interested, but his girlfriend, seeing food being distributed like this for the first time, watched with great interest.

She saw a dozen soldiers in uniform struggling to carry hundreds of boxes of food. This food was prepared to meet the survivors' daily ration needs.

However, due to the large number of people, each person could only receive three small bread rolls.

These three small loaves of bread may seem insignificant, but they are the only source of food for the survivors in their daily lives.

"Lord, so they only get a few small bread rolls a day! That's not enough for even one meal, let alone a whole day," Shangguan Wan'er said with a touch of sadness.

"Wan'er, the official shelters have done their best."

"Think about it? It's been over three months since the corrosive acid rain started, and there are hundreds of thousands of refugees here, with the number increasing every day. The daily food consumption is terrifying," the Duke explained gently.

"Indeed, that's over 100,000 people! Even if each person gets one loaf of bread, that's over 100,000 loaves. If each person gets three loaves, that's hundreds of thousands."

"Now that all places have stopped work and production, and there are still so many natural disasters to come, reconstruction won't be quick. In this situation where there's only outflow and no inflow, the pressure on the official shelters is indeed immense," Wan'er said, her heart heavy.

"Hmm! Wan'er is really smart, she understands very quickly."

They knew that faced with this reality, many people would begin to protest, arguing that this distribution method could not meet their needs and demanding more food supplies.

The refugees queuing ahead of the line have begun to protest, expressing their grievances.

"This little bit of food isn't even enough to fill a child's teeth, how are we adults supposed to survive a day?"

"I thought coming to the official shelter would mean I'd be well-fed and clothed, but I never imagined I'd be treated worse than a dog."

Not only were they starving every day, but they didn't even have a safe place to rest.

"Sir? Could you give us more food? We're having a hard time surviving every day!"

"If this continues, we'll starve to death here sooner or later. What are the people in charge of the country doing? Can't they see how starved we are?"

The soldiers, hearing the refugees' words, also began to feel pressured and confused. They had been doing everything they could to rescue people, yet they couldn't meet everyone's needs and expectations.

A soldier addressed the protesters, saying, "We've done our best. Right now, everyone only gets these three small loaves of bread, which is the most we can provide."

This statement sparked further protests and arguments. People felt they had been treated unfairly, believing they had suffered greatly from the disaster and deserved more help and care. They shouted for the soldiers to distribute more food.

Soldiers also face immense pressure and responsibility. They know their duty is to ensure everyone has access to basic survival needs, but their resources are limited and cannot meet everyone's expectations.

The soldiers tried to explain: “We understand your needs and difficulties, but our supplies are limited, and we must make sure that everyone can get some food.”

However, people did not understand their plight and continued to protest and argue.

"We need more food, otherwise if the natural disaster continues, we will all be doomed once we run out of food."

"Yes, we all need more supplies. When will this cycle of not having enough to eat end?"

"I've lost dozens of pounds since I came to the shelter. If I don't eat more, I'll die here sooner or later."

They believe the government and military should provide them with more support, rather than just a meager amount of food.
