Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 800: Chapter 600: Where is Happiness? (Two-in-One, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Fragrant aromas filled the air.

Among them were the ox bone broths that had been stewed for five to six hours in seven or eight barrels.

Li Yu and Li Tie, among others, pushed these foods into the Outer City.

First, they came to the First Outer City.

Old Luo and the others, seeing the meat, had faces brimming with joyous smiles.

In such an apocalyptic world, where being able to eat at all was a luxury, having meat, vegetables, and staple foods was almost indistinguishable from a dream.

Happiness flowed in everyone’s heart.

Even Zhou Ran, who was busy crafting the Zombie Generator, secured the zombie, locked it in a room, and then rushed out to line up for the food distribution.

This traditional braised meat was thick, each piece weighing around two taels, almost half the size of a fist.

One piece was enough to satisfy cravings.

On top of the rice, a large piece of braised meat was placed, then drenched with a layer of meat sauce, and finally, a spoonful of vegetables was added.

Green and red on top of the white rice, with the meat sauce poured over it.

So fragrant!

Everyone lined up, waiting.

Li Yu and his group placed five barrels of food here, and asked He Chao and others to distribute to everyone.

Then, they pushed the remaining dozens of barrels of food towards the First outer city.

Initially, Li Yu had thought about lowering the standards a bit.

But after all, it was just this one time, so might as well eliminate any disparities.

Whether it was the Inner City, Second Outer City, or First Outer City.

Everyone ate the same.

Braised meat, vegetables, staple food, ox bone soup.

It simplified the process.

The gates of the Second Outer City opened.

Those who had been watching in this direction surged forward.

Seeing them rushing over in a chaotic scene, Li Yu shouted at them: ”Keep order, there’s enough for everyone. Don’t be unruly.”

At Li Yu’s shouting, they stopped in their tracks.

A buzz of voices rose up.

”Uncle, there’s meat!! There’s meat!! Damn, it smells so good.”

”Hehe, there really is meat. Big Camphor Tree Base is so generous. It’s been a long time since I’ve had meat. I never expected to eat it here.”

”You might not believe it, but since the apocalypse, I’ve dreamt countless times, and what’s happening right now feels just like one of those dreams I’ve had countless times. Even the dishes are the same.”

”That so mystical? You must be bragging.”

”Really, why would I lie to you? What kept me alive is the dreams I had over and over, and now they’ve come true.”

”Right now I just want to say one thing: Director Li is mighty!”

”Director Li is mighty!”

”Director Li is mighty!”

....

The voices grew from soft to loud, getting louder and louder.

People are not troubled by scarcity but by inequity.

Therefore, Li Yu had Li Tie, Dapao, and Old Lu, personally distribute the food to each individual.

Lined up in a long queue, everyone received a piece of meat weighing two taels, a spoonful of vegetables, a large plate of rice, three sweet potatoes, half a corn, a big bowl of soup, and an orange. It was enough for them to eat until full.

A frail young man held an enamel cup with a red pentagram and also a metal pot.

After he got his food, he waited on the side until his uncle also received his.

A sacred glow appeared on his face, saliva secreting continuously in his mouth, making him swallow repeatedly.

Looking at the bright red braised meat, the lush green vegetables, the pristine white rice.

The clearly separated corn kernels, the creamy white soup. The orange-orange.

He couldn’t bear to eat it.

He was reluctant to eat.

Although he had been so eager before, now that it was in front of him, he didn’t know how to start eating.

His uncle didn’t care about that much, and just began to eat.

The sweet potatoes and corn could be preserved for a while. If eaten sparingly, they could last for more than a week.

Seeing his nephew sitting under the sun, still not eating,

He thought for a moment, then cut his piece of braised meat in half with a spoon.

And placed it in his nephew’s pot.

”Eat. Don’t hesitate, I’m giving you half.”

The young man saw his uncle doing so, then returned the meat that was cut in half to his uncle’s bowl.

”Uncle, I—I’m not being reluctant.”

”Oh, then why is that?” The older man looked at his nephew.

”I’m just afraid that for the rest of my life, I may never taste such food again. That would be too unbearable.”

Silence.

The chest of the older man felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

He wasn’t afraid of what he had never had; he feared that having had and tasted something delicious, he would never have the chance to taste it again in the future.

Immediately after.

The older man then smiled and said, ”That won’t happen, you have to have some hope. Before the apocalypse, you used to eat delicious things too; don’t give me that touching bullcrap.

Now, in the apocalypse, being able to eat like this, maybe in the future, you can too.

After all, even today, didn’t you barely believe you could have meat to eat?

The future will definitely get better and better. As long as we keep working hard, we might be able to get promoted and officially join the Big Camphor Tree Base, then we’ll surely have enough to eat!”

The young man’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

And he stopped daydreaming.

After this short while, the food was not as hot as before.

”Eat quickly, eat while it’s warm. It won’t taste as good once it cools down,” the older man told him.

”Yeah!” The slender man, looking at Li Yu who was distributing the food, felt a surge of passion in his heart.

Like them, there were many others in the Second Outer City.

There was a mother and daughter.

The woman, with her disheveled hair and red eyes, looked at the food in her hands.

This time, the food distributed was not based on whether one was an adult or child.
