Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 31 Please take me with you!
"Holding a cornbread in my hand, with not a drop of oil in the food, how painful life in prison must be, every step a heart-wrenching experience."

Bai Yuetian sang softly, her face filled with sorrow, like a young widow who had just lost her husband.

The old song he hummed was particularly fitting, even the word "prison" came together, but the only drawback was that the protagonist of the song wasn't miserable enough.

The protagonist has cornbread to eat, and even side dishes to go with his rice, while he can only gnaw on insect cakes.

Bai Yuetian broke open the insect cake.

Under the sun, the densely packed heads, buttocks, and limbs glistened with oil at the broken ends of the insect cake.

"That's what I'm saying."

"Is this thing really edible?"

Bai Yuetian felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that insects were nutritious and could be used as emergency food, but the insect cakes looked really bad.

The cook, Shangmin, didn't even grind the insects completely into powder before serving them to Chenmin.

Eating it makes me feel nauseous, not eating it makes me starve!
A stubborn person with two blocked ends.

Finally, Bai Yuetian mustered up her courage and brought the insect cake to her mouth.

People are iron rice is steel.

As the son of Mayor Hisakawa, a rising star in the Joint Police Department, and a mature and steady older brother...

I'll give it a try!

He chewed it.

Just like that, it was like biting through a three-year-old unwashed soccer shoe and a moldy plastic basin used for soaking smelly socks.

Before he could even regret it, the sneakers and the plastic basin exploded in his mouth.

An indescribable, tingling sensation shot straight to the top of his head, contorting his entire face, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of a camera shutter, and the voice he longed for—

Dude, you'd better cook for me tonight, or I'll post your ugly photos on my WeChat Moments, hmph!

"Moon Queen".

Bai Yuetian wiped away her tears and said, "This is a specialty of the Lighthouse. It may look ugly, but it tastes really good. You should have some."

The wind brushed his cheeks, ruffling his bangs. Only a lonely shadow stretched long and thin on the container.

"Sigh." Bai Yuetian sighed softly.

This is not home. Yue Kui is not here, and he doesn't want Yue Kui to come here.

The apocalypse was too tough; he couldn't take it after only two days. If Yue Kui had come too, he probably wouldn't have lasted a single day and would have cried and wanted to go home.

"I wonder how we are doing in this world."

"They have everything they could want, so they should have all left Earth on the first batch of interstellar spaceships, right?" Bai Yuetian thought to himself.

Dad must have left on a spaceship. He holds a high position of power and uses ASH to monitor every move around the world. If there is a spaceship that can escape Earth, he must be on it.

Yue Kui must have left too. As a genius scientist in the field of brain transplantation, she is crucial to the realization of humanity's immortality plan. The powerful and wealthy will definitely not forget her when they flee.

I should leave too. Even though I'm not very capable, Dad and Yue Kui are both gone. They can't possibly leave me alone on Earth, can they?
Yay, it's a happy ending!

Thinking of this, Bai Yuetian smiled.

The apocalypse was terrible, but the family of three still lived happily in some corner of the world.

This is great!

Bai Yuetian's mood brightened, and looking at the insect cake in his hand, he even felt that he could swallow it.

Bite, chew, chew.

"vomit!"

Bai Yuetian's face turned ashen. He opened his mouth and spat everything out, then spat several more times.

"Bah bah bah!"

This rotten worm cake is impossible to swallow!
Looking at the remaining half of the insect cake in his hand, Bai Yuetian showed a bitter expression.

He found it hard to believe that the insect cakes that tasted pretty good in 4277's mouth actually tasted like this.

No wonder bread and milk are considered a high-class meal; compared to insect cakes, it's on a completely different level!

Tap tap tap tap tap!
blah blah blah!
Footsteps sounded behind me, followed by a familiar voice: "Teacher Yue Tian, ​​you really know how to pick a place! I've been looking for you for ages!"

"Erica?" Bai Yuetian was surprised.

He adjusted his expression and turned to look. Erica carefully stepped onto the container and walked step by step to his side.

"Teacher Yuetian, what are you doing here? This place has been neglected for many years, and you never know when someone might fall down."

All around were shipping containers suspended in mid-air, each one rusty and full of a sense of history.

During the major renovation of the lighthouse, the original plan was to transform this area into a suspended living area as well.

However, the number of survivors found on the ground by the lighthouse was far less than expected, so construction work at the site was temporarily suspended.

As the disaster intensified, fewer and fewer survivors were found at the lighthouse, and the project became increasingly unnecessary.

Over time, the project was abandoned.

“I checked them, and these containers are securely fastened and won’t fall off easily.”

Bai Yuetian asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

"Ta-da!" Erica pulled out a bag from behind her back and presented it to Bai Yuetian like a treasure.

"I promised to treat you to dinner!"

"Eat?" Bai Yuetian subconsciously looked at the bag in Erica's hand.

“Fine food, let’s eat and chat!” Erica handed the bag to Bai Yuetian.

The bright moonlight seemed to carry celestial music.

Upon opening the bag, I found bread, milk, boiled eggs, and a large piece of sausage.

He felt a warmth in his heart.

"Offering an umbrella in the rain, providing charcoal in the snow, please don't call me teacher anymore, just call me Yuetian," he said solemnly.

Erica smiled brightly: "Okay!"

“Professor Elon said that people in the old world are very picky eaters. I guessed you couldn’t stomach the insect cake, so I came to find you.”

"Please thank Instructor Elon for me!" Bai Yuetian looked at Erica's little face.

In the sunlight, Erica's hair reflected a golden light, as if it were edged with gold.

Guessing he couldn't eat the insect cakes, I went to the suspended living area to deliver food to him, and even searched for him for a long time.

Such friends are hard to find even in the old world.

"Captain Mark had a big argument with Lord Morgan over your matter, and they parted on bad terms."

Erica whispered, "But he told me to tell you not to worry."

"The Hunter will be on a mission tomorrow. When he returns, we'll have Commander-in-Chief Jingnan add a permanent staff to the armory."

"If you apply after the announcement is made, you're guaranteed to get the job."

“Although it won’t change your status as a commoner, your treatment will be similar to ours,” Erica whispered.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mark," Bai Yuetian murmured.

He knew Mark would help him, but he didn't expect Mark to have such a big argument with the city lord for him.

It's similar to him going to argue with Chief Grey; just thinking about it puts him under immense pressure.

Mark was incredibly kind to him.

"By the way, Mark only came back a few days ago, why is he going down again so soon? Are the supplies at the lighthouse that tight?" Bai Yuetian asked, somewhat puzzled.

“This time it’s not about supplies.” Erica shook her head.

"The lighthouse has detected intense artillery fire in the core ecological area. Send Captain Mark to check what's going on."

Heavy artillery fire?

Bai Yuetian's pupils contracted slightly.

Could it be...

Erica muttered to herself, "The lighthouse hasn't found any survivors on the ground for many years. I don't know what happened this time, but we were able to detect artillery fire in the core ecological area."

"Maybe the instrument is malfunctioning."

Erica sighed, "The core ecological area is dangerous. We've always avoided that area before, but this time we're going in to take a look."

"Erica!" Bai Yuetian suddenly called out.

His expression was incredibly excited, his lips trembled slightly, and his gaze was as unwavering as that of a fanatical follower of the Church of Light and Shadow.
