Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Following the predetermined route, the small castle headed to the location Huo Ling had mentioned, a place located in ruins forty kilometers away from the X City base.

You can still vaguely see the shadow of the town's former prosperity, but unfortunately it is now dilapidated.

Passing through a large number of collapsed buildings, the small castle landed in the center of the town. The place had been looted by the base, so no one would come here.

The little castle landed steadily, its mechanical legs firmly planted, confirming that it had settled down here.

The three of them, Lorna and her companion, were very curious. "Are we going to stay here temporarily?" "Is this place safe?" "Isn't it too close to the base?"

Huo Ling said it was alright. "It's not too far or too close, making it convenient to go there to exchange supplies. It's also not within the base's control area. The terrain of the collapsed town is complicated, which makes it easy for us to hide. I think it's pretty good. You can raise any objections you may have."

When Luo Na and the other two heard this, they thought it was a good idea and said they would listen to their captain.

Lin Shuangshuang looked out the window; the surroundings were quiet and there was no potential danger.

You can rest assured.

Luo Na and the other two went to check the newly purchased supplies. Lin Shuangshuang handed the space card to Xiao San and Xiao Si, asking them to organize it, pull out the items needed for daily use and put them away, and put away the items that were not needed for the time being.

This time, we acquired quite a few good items, but due to food rationing, we didn't eat much. This also sent a bad signal: the base's food reserves are probably running low.

The worst part is that we can no longer grow food on a large scale as before, and food, including drinking water, will only become more and more precious in the future.

I've been busy for most of the day.

They finally finished integrating the current supplies. They now have eleven space cards, two of which and one space-type alien core are filled with clean water, and the rest are filled with various supplies.

The news in the living room never stopped broadcasting, and they turned the volume up as soon as they came back.

The information we have right now is very important, and we should not miss any, because it concerns their safety and future plans, so we must see it.

The three major problems affecting people's livelihoods are still food, water, and housing. Underground cities have solved the housing problem, but the problems of food and water have not been solved.

The news was showing a new food item: grayish-brown cornbread. It was made from a mutated bean, and while it was plentiful and filling, it had little nutritional value and only served to keep people from going hungry.

Long-term consumption can lead to malnutrition, so the official decision was to add a small amount of flour and some nutrient solution to neutralize the effects. The main benefit is that this stuff is filling and keeps well, so it can be stored in large quantities.

A steamed bun made from soybean flour only costs two points, which is affordable even for the lowest-ranking survivors.

After reading it, Lorna was stunned and exclaimed in shock, "Has the situation become that bad?"

She glanced at the dining table.

Today we're having hand-pulled rice because they bought a lot of mutton.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Er said they wanted to show off their skills, so they added carrots, yellow carrots, onions, tomatoes, and green peppers, and used lamb ribs instead of lamb.

Meat is plentiful, rice is plentiful, and it's all delicious—a big plate for everyone.

The news reported that they've now launched steamed buns...

I can't quite swallow this food.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe stared intently at the news. They hadn't expected the base to have reached this point, but they suddenly remembered the child they had met in the underground city, and his family, whose life was also very difficult.

"No wonder the purchase restrictions are so severe today; it turns out many people are struggling to afford food."

No wonder.

However, the selection page still shows a good variety of goods.

Huo Ling said, "Is it possible that because we have more points and higher privileges, we have a wider range of choices and a richer variety of products?"

Like the low-level survivors in the base, they have no high-level superpowers, no missions to take on, and can only do manual labor to earn a living.

It was inevitable that life was tight back then; that's normal.

Huo Ling wasn't so much unable to eat. She was a little sentimental, but since her group hadn't stolen or robbed, and had purchased supplies with the points they earned themselves, it was perfectly normal, right?

"They need to be well-fed to have the energy to do tasks, and doing tasks indirectly helps them solve problems and ensures their safety. It's a virtuous cycle."

Rona exclaimed, "What a miracle doctor!!" She instantly felt her appetite return.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe nodded repeatedly.

Lin Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the three of them could be quite adorable at times.

But so be it.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the big screen. The news of the food shortage made her feel a sense of urgency. Fortunately, the small castle had already stockpiled its first batch of security supplies, which allowed them to breathe a little easier.

There is no need to worry about supplies for the time being.

Lorna exclaimed that her teammates were brilliant, "Look, look! We all bought a lot of daily necessities without prior arrangement. Now we don't have to worry about running out of tissues or toothpaste. Aren't we all geniuses?!"

After she finished speaking, shaking her head, she took another bite of the lamb chop. The lamb ribs were tender and fell off the bone, and they were especially delicious.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, alright, stop praising us." "It's embarrassing."

Because food is so precious now, they cherish their meals even more.

Not a single grain of rice is wasted.

Lin Shuangshuang ate her meal with relish. In her life, besides Huo Ling, her second favorite thing was food. Food is the most healing thing in the world. She chewed her food while watching the news, occasionally listening to her teammates chatting and laughing, but most of the time she was focused on the news.

got used to.

The captain's mission.

Huo Ling was the same, but he still managed to find time to serve Lin Shuangshuang food and soup.

Eating only hand-grabbed rice isn't enough; there's also a cold dish and a plate of stir-fried bok choy on the table, and soup is a daily necessity, which Wu Zhe enjoys drinking.

Gao Lei didn't complain about wanting noodles today, so it seems that hand-grabbed rice is really delicious.

Rona is easy to feed. She is not picky about food and will eat whatever you give her. She is the same way when she reads. She is a complete omnivore and will eat anything.

Very tolerant.

The news report said that in addition to introducing steamed buns to ensure food supply, drinking water will also be rationed, with each person having to swipe their ID card to get water.

There are many new regulations in the base, but there is only one purpose: to do everything in our power to ensure the survival rate of everyone and never give up on anyone.

Lorna and the others were quite excited. Although they understood that no matter how loudly the slogans were shouted, there would be many difficulties in actual operation, at least the goal was good. They did not want to be controlled by the base, but they also hoped that everyone could survive.

The news then switched to a different camera, focusing on the team of superhumans on a mission. They were wearing protective suits and moving through various ruins. Many of them were familiar faces, but Lin Shuangshuang couldn't remember who they were. They just felt very familiar and were probably her former teammates.

The people Lin Shuangshuang trained were basically the top tier, so it's perfectly normal to see them in the news.

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my back.

The little monster turned her head and met Huo Ling's eyes precisely. She felt guilty for a second.
