After a long wait, it was finally their turn to receive their food.
Shangguan Wan'er received three loaves of bread, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at Junjue. This was the first supply she had received since arriving here, and it was truly a memorable experience.
Shangguan Wan'er gazed at the bread in Junjue's hand and said with a smile, "We finally got food. Although it's not as good as what we usually have, it's still quite delicious when you're in the local area."
Looking at the adorable Wan'er, Junjue gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said tenderly, "There are three loaves of bread for each person. Wan'er, would you like to eat them now?"
Shangguan Wan'er raised her head, smiled, and said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We've been queuing for so long to get our bread, so let's share two loaves and see how they taste."
Junjue smiled as he looked at Shangguan Wan'er, led her to the side, and said gently, "Alright! Then I'll try it with Wan'er."
Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said firmly, "I don't mind. As long as we're together, I'll be satisfied with whatever we eat."
Junjue looked at Shangguan Wan'er with emotion, his heart filled with gratitude.
They stood to one side with their two little mongrel dogs, gently tearing open the first piece of bread. Shangguan Wan'er picked up half of the bread, handed it to Junjue, and said with a smile, "My big, thick leg, you can have a taste first."
Junjue accepted the bread without ceremony, looked at Shangguan Wan'er's warm smile, and took a small bite.
Although the bread didn't taste very good, in this time of famine and disaster, after experiencing all that had happened in his previous life, the Duke felt it was the most delicious food in the world.
He smiled at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "You're so kind! The taste is pretty good!"
Shangguan Wan'er gently shook her head and said, "I don't think it's good yet. We need to face this difficult time together and support each other to the end."
After saying that, he put the bread in his mouth. Although it wasn't anything particularly delicious, at that moment, it was better than many delicacies.
"Yes! What Wan'er said is exactly what I was thinking. Let's work hard together!"
They continued to share the first loaf of bread, slowly savoring and enjoying this rare delicacy.
After they finished the first loaf of bread, Shangguan Wan'er took out a second loaf and handed it to Junjue, saying, "Would you like to continue eating?"
Junjue accepted the bread, looked at Shangguan Wan'er tenderly, and said, "If Wan'er wants it, I'll eat it!"
"Alright! We'll starve to death if we don't eat tonight, so let's finish all the bread for today!"
They shared the second loaf of bread together in the same way. Although the food in the shelter was not plentiful, they felt warmth and love for each other.
As they were preparing to share the third loaf of bread, a lonely little girl came along.
Her thin frame revealed her prolonged hunger. Shangguan Wan'er immediately went over, handed her the bread, and said with a smile, "Little sister, this is for you."
The little girl looked at Shangguan Wan'er, tears welling in her eyes, and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister."
Shangguan Wan'er gently patted the little girl's head and said, "Don't be shy. We need to be strong and brave to get through this difficult time."
"I'll remember, sister." The little girl tore open the bread packaging and wolfed it down. After finishing, she smiled and said:
"Sister, I'm leaving now. Thank you for the bread." With that, she slowly walked away, her steps somewhat weak.
Junjue felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he watched Shangguan Wan'er's actions.
He understood that Shangguan Wan'er was a kind and generous girl who was always considerate of others. If she weren't like that, how could she have saved him when he was about to die in his previous life?
After watching the little girl leave, the two finished the rest of their bread and returned to their small room with the two puppies.
The days passed one by one. Every day, while others were out queuing, Junjue would feed his girlfriend and the two little dogs. After they were full, he would go to queue up for small bread rolls. This continued until the sixth day.
Today, the massive storm that lasted for three months finally stopped. After ten days of calm, a global typhoon of at least level 15 will arrive, which can blow people away instantly.
This morning, as usual, after feeding his girlfriend and the two stray dogs, Junjue went to line up for bread.
Finally, it was the two of them's turn to collect the supplies, and they were just about to take the dog back to the small room.
At this moment, several hundred soldiers suddenly appeared. Although their faces were full of fatigue, their military spirit was not diminished at all. Each of them stood tall and straight, in neat formation in the queuing hall.
The leading soldier shouted, "The storm has stopped today. We've been notified that there will be no more rain for the next ten days."
We need to go to Guangdong, a first-tier city 1,500 kilometers away from Shanghai, to find supplies.
That area is the most prosperous place among various industrial parks, with countless factories scattered throughout. Even if there are torrential rains that last for several months, there should still be a lot of supplies left.
Those who are able or want to go can join the main group. We will give you 10% of the supplies we find, and the rest will belong to the official shelter.
Considering the potential risks, the age limit is 18-40 years old. Please prepare in half an hour and then gather at the front gate.
I urge everyone to think carefully before going, as there is always a possibility of losing your life.
After the soldier in charge finished speaking, he led several hundred soldiers out of the hall to make thorough preparations.
After all the soldiers left, the refugees, upon hearing the news, became excited and spontaneously gathered together. Fenfen went to participate in this supplies collection activity.
Shangguan Wan'er and Junjue exchanged a glance, understanding that this was a rare opportunity. They decided to participate in the search for supplies in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Shangguan Wan'er went to train herself, while Junjue went to collect all kinds of usable resources. Guangyue is a top-tier city in the south, with a thriving industrial sector. It is even more developed than the two top-tier cities of Shanghai and Beijing. It is practically a giant in all kinds of industries in the entire Dragon Kingdom. How could Junjue possibly let go of such a city?
In 10 days, a powerful typhoon will hit. At that time, a typhoon of at least Category 15 will destroy all the industrial areas, and there will be no one left to collect anything.
"Lord Jun, Guangyue City! That's the most industrially developed and prosperous region in the south. It would be a shame if we didn't go there."
"Especially for you, it would be a huge loss if you didn't go," Shangguan Wan'er said excitedly.
Seeing his girlfriend so happy, he felt cheerful too and said, "How could we miss out on such a great place? Let's go back and make some preparations, and then meet at the front gate."
