There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

The burly man glanced at Lu Qing with a slight headache, scratched his head, and then said to the search team member beside him, "Let her in. She's not much of a threat if she doesn't have a gun."

"this......."

The search team member glanced at his captain with a somewhat troubled expression, then looked at Lu Qing, before nodding and saying, "Alright."

"Relax, she's just a young girl. She probably hasn't even killed anyone before. What's there to be afraid of?" The burly man patted the search team member on the shoulder and said in a low voice.

Everyone in the convoy except the children was armed; it would be naive to think they could kill someone with just a melee weapon.

Even the older members of the convoy, whose physical condition has declined significantly, still possess considerable combat experience, so there's basically nothing to worry about regarding their safety.

The reason for confiscating weapons is simply to be wary of strangers. However, usually it's firearms that are confiscated. In this day and age, who carries cold weapons?

"Come with me," the burly man said to Lu Qing.

"Thank you for your kindness," Lu Qing said, following behind the burly man.

"No need to thank me. You can only survive in the wilderness if you have many friends," said the burly man walking in front.

"What's your name?" the burly man asked.

“My name is…” After a pause, Lu Qing said, “Lu Yi, Lu as in deer, Yi as in single-person radical.”

"What is the 'single person radical'?" the burly man asked curiously.

"Forehead."

Lu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized and said, "Don't worry about it, it's nothing important."

Because this dream was an artificial dream, the language used in the dream was the common language of the real world. Lu Qing just casually said the word with the "single person radical," but obviously, there is no such Chinese character radical as "single person radical" in this world.

"So if I want to remember some of my secrets in the future, can I use Chinese characters to write them down?" Lu Qing thought to herself, somewhat absentmindedly.

Seeing that Lu Qing didn't want to talk, the burly man didn't press her further, but instead said:

“My name is Victor, and I’m in charge of this team. If you need anything from the team, you can come to me.”

"Now, follow me, I'll take you to register..."

Viktor stopped mid-sentence, noticing that Lu Qing was staring at a food delivery truck not far away.

A large number of people lined up in front of the food delivery truck, receiving boxed meals from the elderly woman serving the food.

"Goo~"

After four days without food or water, her stomach began to rumble in protest. Lu Qing stuck out her little tongue and licked her chapped lips, feeling even hungrier.

"How about we grab a bite to eat first?" Victor said to Lu Qing.

"Um......."

Nodding quietly, Lu Qing followed the burly man to the food delivery cart. The woman in charge of serving the food greeted her immediately, "Oh, it's Viktor. What would you like to eat tonight?"

After glancing at the sign hanging on the delivery cart, Victor thought for a moment and said, "French fries, a medium Coke, two sausages, a steak, and a bowl of wontons."

"Okay, I've written it down." The woman nodded, then her expression suddenly changed, and she said:

"Go to the back of the line. If you don't line up next time, come over here to order, or I'll hit you on the head with a spoon!"

"Forehead."

Viktor chuckled twice and looked at Lu Qing to explain, "Her name is Lu Yi. I actually came here for her. She hasn't eaten for many days."

"I can join the queue," Lu Qing said quickly, sensing that people around her were looking at her.

The older woman glanced at Lu Qing, then looked at Victor and asked, "Is she the outsider the guards were talking about?"

"Yes, after checking and finding no problems, we let it in," Viktor nodded.

"Hmph, what problems could such a young child have?" the old woman scoffed.

"Haha, you're right."

Viktor clearly didn't want to explain anything further to Aunt Misandra, since the entire team knew that Aunt Misandra loved children, and arguing at this point would only get him scolded.

Misandra clearly knew that Viktor was just giving her the runaround, but she didn't say anything. She glanced at Lu Qing, her expression softening considerably, and said, "Little girl, come here for a moment."

Lu Qing obediently walked forward and came to stand in front of Misandra.

"Hmm, let me see..."

Misandra touched Lu Qing's abdomen with her left hand, and the mechanical surface on her palm began to work. At this point, Lu Qing had no other thoughts besides embarrassment.

After a while, Misandra withdrew her hand. Looking at the data displayed on her retina, she frowned and said:

“This is really bad, child. Your willpower is amazing.”

An empty stomach is definitely not a pleasant feeling, and coupled with such a long period of hunger, many of Lu Qing's internal organs have become somewhat weak. Misandra, relying on the prosthetic device installed in her left hand, easily examined all of these.

Of course, this examination also had another purpose, which was to check whether Lu Qing had any modified organs or anything like that. And based on the current examination results, all of Lu Qing's organs were original.

“We can move on to the next step now.” Misandra extended her left hand and said, “Come, take my hand.”

Without hesitation, Lu Qing grasped Misandra's hand.

Lu Qing subconsciously frowned, feeling as if something had pricked her palm.

However, after releasing the hand, there was no wound at all.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just checking your blood," Misandra said with a gentle smile.

“Ahem, Miss Lu Yi probably won’t be traveling with the convoy anymore, and Misandra, you don’t need a blood test,” Victor said at this moment.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? I'd already finished, what was the point of you saying anything?" Misandra glared at Victor, annoyed.

As she spoke, Misandra bent down, took out a clean white packaging bag, and skillfully tore open the outer packaging.

"You can't eat this kind of coarse food if you've been hungry for too long, but I didn't prepare any in advance, so this is all you can eat, little girl."

As she spoke, Misandra took the contents of the package out and handed it to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing took the item from Misander and discovered that it actually had attributes.

【Item Name: Liquid Instant Food (Peanut Flavor)】

Chapter 127: Refusing the Invitation

【Item Name: Liquid Instant Food (Peanut Flavor)】

[Item Quality: White]

[Description: Liquid food supplement, a semi-fluid with a texture slightly thicker than jelly, is the best nutrient solution when wandering in the wild, quickly restoring physical strength.]

However, few people like this stuff because, compared to traditional food, the taste of liquid instant food is very ordinary, and even adding various flavorings doesn't help.

[Skill: Quick Recovery]

[Rapid Recovery: This instant remedy, personally prepared by the experienced pharmacist Misandra, restores health 1.5 times faster than regular instant remedies!]

[Note: Why peanut flavor? I prefer tomato! —From a muscular man who wishes to remain anonymous.]

"Thank you," Lu Qing said gratefully.

Since there was a sign explaining what it was, Lu Qing decided not to ask. In this world, it would be strange if someone didn't know about instant food liquid.

"Alright, you can go down now. There are still many people queuing up for food," Misandra said, glancing at the increasingly impatient crowd.

“Okay.” Victor nodded, then said to Misandra, “We’ll be going now.”

After saying that, he turned and left the food delivery truck.

Seeing this, Lu Qing quickly followed. Although she had been watched by many audience members in the opera house dream before, she only saw the audience when the opera ended.

Therefore, there wasn't much tension at the time, since the lighting was quite dim...

But now it's different. She's already caused trouble for others, and now she's being the center of attention. She's been wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

Misandra watched Victor's departing figure for a while, then shook her head and said:

"You brat, is work more important than eating?"

“Mr. Victor and Ms. Misandra have a very good relationship,” Lu Qing said, following behind Victor with a slightly subtle expression.

“Don’t you think I look like the team leader?” Victor said with a smile.

"Yeah, pretty much." Lu Qing nodded.

Logically speaking, a leader should maintain an air of authority in front of their subordinates.

But just now, let alone his authority, Victor looked like a junior in front of Misandra.

“I feel the same way about everyone in our team,” Viktor said.

“They see me as the leader of the team, but at the same time, I am also their family.”

Turning his head, Viktor's face beamed with pride as he said:

"We are family!"

"..."

Lu Qing chose to remain silent at this moment. After a moment of silence, she asked Victor:

How do I open this?

She had been searching the metal can for a long time but hadn't found a way to open it. The only strange thing she found was an opening at the bottom of the can.

"It can't possibly require plugging in some kind of interface to open it..." Lu Qing thought with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

To be honest, she thought she might be right, otherwise she really couldn't figure out what the interface was for.

"Just plug it in with your implant interface."

As expected, Viktor's words confirmed Lu Qing's suspicions, to which she could only helplessly reply:

"I don't have any implants."

Well, not only did she not know, she didn't even know what an implant was; she could only guess at something from the name.

"You don't have an implant?" Viktor paused in his steps, then turned around and extended his hand.

"Then let me open it for you."

"Ah."
