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

There are two options for meals at the base: either eat at the canteen or buy ingredients and cook at home. The canteen is not far from the accommodation and is very convenient, making it the first choice for most people. This is because ingredients and seasonings are expensive in supermarkets, and cooking at home is not cost-effective, so most people prefer to eat at the canteen.

Huo Ling took Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na to the cafeteria for a walk and found that the dishes were mediocre, and the staple food was all steamed buns made from mutated beans.

It seems that the steamed buns made from these mutated beans have already begun to be officially promoted.

Lorna and the other two followed the group and each picked two to put on their plates.

The cafeteria isn't free, but the fees are very low, which is a kind of indirect subsidy.

Lin Shuangshuang also watched longingly. She looked around at the food, picked and chose, piled up a small plate, and then looked for a seat with satisfaction.

Huo Ling spotted a seat first, so he held the plate in one hand and took Lin Shuangshuang's wrist with the other, saying, "Let's go, there's an empty seat over there."

After guiding her to the right direction, he casually took Lin Shuangshuang's plate away.

Lin Shuangshuang looked down at her empty hands, then followed his steps. "I think I can carry it myself, what do you think?"

Huo Ling avoided the other passersby and said, "I think I should stand up straight. What do you think?"

He can do things that he never needs her to do.

Wu Zhe also chimed in, "What do you mean by 'should' or 'shouldn't'? What do you guys think?"

The child's plate was also filled to the brim; his appetite was astonishing.

Huo Ling laughed and said, "It's nothing, mind your own business and go eat your food."

Wu Zhe exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Huo, you're not that much older than me!"

Luo Na and Gao Lei followed, both asking them what they were talking about.

"On the other hand, we've seen the living conditions of the lower-class survivors before. They live a very basic life, struggling to even have enough to eat, barely surviving. In comparison, the living conditions of the official combat teams are indeed quite good; at least they have enough to eat and don't go hungry."

Although the two cannot be compared, Rona still can't help but make comparisons.

Gao Lei only said, "Therefore, one's own strength is very important; otherwise, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, it's difficult to survive."

The apocalypse is far more dangerous than before; it's all about who's bigger and who's stronger.

The base is quite orderly.

The humanoid weapons lined up to eat in an orderly fashion. Since there was no rule against chatting in the cafeteria, everyone was gossiping during mealtimes.

"Have you heard? A big shot from before is back! Apparently, it's the original one!"

"What first generation?"

"Ha, you don't even know about the first generation of humanoid weapons? You're not worthy of being called a humanoid weapon!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, what happened with the first one?"

"It's not surprising that you don't know. The number of humanoid weapons has exploded since the apocalypse, and I've recently heard that some superhumans are even actively seeking genetic modification. You guys are probably way past the last generation! How would you know about the first generation!"

"I'm not really sure either, but I'm the twentieth generation. Humanoid weapons are updated and iterated very quickly. In order to improve the genetic compatibility, it seems that something was reduced, which caused the power of humanoid weapons to be much less than before."

"It's true! I heard that the first generation of humanoid weapons was incredibly strong! Invulnerable to blades and spears! Its limbs could regenerate! Its self-healing ability was amazing, it was a legendary existence! There are even rumors that it was because the first generation was too strong that it was feared to kill its master, so it was improved and its humanoid weapon's abilities were weakened."

"Impossible. If it were that powerful, how come we've never heard of it?"

"Wasn't only one of the original survivors?"

"Hilarious! You guys are talking so convincingly, like it's true."

"Who lied to you? Only a dog would lie to you! This original 001 has mentored quite a few newcomers! It's not made up, it really happened!"

"You were always a canine-type humanoid weapon! You were always a puppy!"

"Who's the puppy?! I have Tibetan Mastiff genes!"

"Haha, that's a dog too."

They were about to start arguing, but were stopped by others.

The newlyweds chattered excitedly.

The elderly people were either eating in a corner or scrolling through the news.

I don't get involved in these things at all.

Only newcomers are like this, full of energy every day, fearless, never complaining of being tired, and finding everything incredibly new and exciting.

The legendary big shot—the jellyfish monster himself—is engrossed in eating.

Lin Shuangshuang ate a piece of braised pork, then took a bite of cornbread. Actually, the cornbread wasn't very tasty, but it had a faint bean flavor as she chewed it.

As long as I'm full, that's fine.

Huo Ling frowned, thinking the food was just so-so. The food in the cafeteria was all cooked in one pot, so it couldn't compare to the high-heat stir-fry of the smaller cafeteria staff.

But it's still edible.

The three of them, including Rona, chewed silently, finding it tasteless but also a pity to throw it away.

"Shuang'er, is it delicious?"

Lin Shuangshuang turned to look at Luo Na, nodded, swallowed, and then said, "I can eat it."

Lorna immediately exclaimed, "See, see, Shuang'er only said we can eat it, not that it tastes good. It's not that we're picky eaters, it's just that the cooking skills are terrible."

Gao Lei said, "In this day and age, not many people dare to criticize a chef's skills, right?"

We're almost out of food.

Lorna sighed, "It's true, we were so rich before."

Not content with just rice every day, they also need to have noodles, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks served to their children in rotation, and occasionally they need to make some small desserts for them to enjoy.

Luxurious!

Lorna sighed, "But this meal wasn't cheap either. The five of us spent 400 points, which is 80 points per person."

Wu Zhe looked around and said, "The dishes you ordered are expensive, aren't they? I see other people are quite frugal."

Most people share a dish, and it's considered a luxury for three or four people to have one meat dish and one vegetable dish. Not many people can afford to order that. Unlike them, five people ordered seven dishes and a soup.

Although the portion size is quite small.

But that's not a small number either.

Lin Shuangshuang and Huo Ling ate in silence, sharing their favorite foods with each other.

After reading it, Lorna beamed with a doting smile. "Oh my gosh, how can you two be so sweet? Most people give their partners food they don't like, and they're so smug about it, saying their partners enjoy eating their leftovers. But you two, you only pick out what you like for each other! You're trying to make me sick with sweetness, waaaaah!"

She was very excited.

I almost cried.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe were used to it, and the two silently buried their heads in their food. Although they didn't particularly like the food, they didn't waste any and ate it all.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang stared blankly at Luo Na, not quite understanding why Luo Na was so happy about their interaction.

"This is my spiritual sustenance, you know? You two, please continue. Can I take a picture of you? This scene is just too beautiful!"

"Lorna exclaimed."

Huo Ling refused coldly, "No, what are you thinking about? Go eat your food."

Lorna quickly added, "We'll play it at your wedding!"

Huo Ling immediately replied, "Okay."

Lin Shuangshuang: ? ? ?

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe were both shocked; the change in expression was incredibly fast!
