Chapter 885 885: Attacked From Both Sides ( 6 )
"There are people who can create water. We distribute the water evenly. As for food, we go out to hunt some animals," another man replied to Du Beiye's question.
Hearing this, Mo Junjie walked over and asked in a low voice, "Beiye, is there something wrong with the supplies?"
Du Beiye shook her head and whispered, "There is nothing wrong with the supplies. I think this rumor was spread by the organization to keep these people in check."
After she said this, she went to the other side of the area and collected all the supplies. When she was done, she tore the packaging of a chocolate and took a bite.
The moment they saw her eat the supplies, everyone took several steps back. Joy and satisfaction flashed in their minds when they thought of how this person who killed their friends and families would die the same way.
Soon after she finished her chocolate, her satellite phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from her sister, she picked it up.
"Sister, how is the situation on your side?"
"Beiye, we found the place where they locked the people. There are no cannibals in this place."
"Did you discover that those bugs use these humans as breeding vessels?"
"How did you know?" Jiao Lizhi asked.
"We found a group of people infected by the Matkuna eggs. They are commoners, and none of the eggs have successfully hatched."
After a moment of silence, Jiao Lizhi said, "I will inform Brother Yan about your discovery. Have you found Wen Hanyu?"
"Not yet. The entire area is covered in thick snow, so we can only search them one by one. But according to Krayan's prediction, the possibility of Wen Hanyu coming to this area is as high as 78%."
"Okay, inform me when you find him. I have to go now. Be careful."
"You too."
After she hung up the call, Du Beiye turned to her members and asked, "Should we continue our search or stay here for a while?"
Yuan Ruiyue checked his watch and said, "Let's have breakfast first before we continue."
"Okay."
After what just happened, the members didn't try to have a talk with the crowd. They went to the other side and sat in a circle.
Du Beiye took out a self-heating hotpot from her inventory and distributed it to the members. Jian Huan held the box and said, "Beiye, I don't think I can eat this."
"How do you know you can't if you didn't try?" she asked her back.
Jian Huan hesitated for a moment before she opened the packaging and prepared the meal. It took 10 minutes before the meal was ready. She was having beef curry rice.
Recalling the taste of the self-heating meal she ate before, she took a breath and took a bite. She expected the curry rice to taste like wax or rubber. But when she actually ate it, she was surprised that the taste was normal.
She turned to Du Beiye and asked, "How did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"This meal… it tastes normal."
Yuan Ruiyue frowned and asked, "Isn't this what an instant meal tastes like?"
Before Jian Huan could say more, Du Beiye interrupted her, "Perhaps, you regained your taste buds. As long as you can enjoy good food, why bother about the reason?"
Catching the meaning of her words, Jian Huan held back her words and ate her meal in silence.
No one realized that the reason why they could eat ordinary food despite being mutants was all thanks to the Sthanam crystals.
After being purified by Gaia, the Sthanam crystals given by Jiao Lizhi no longer had any radiation. The energy contained in the crystal was purer and could repair their damaged body because of the mutating process.
Over time, they would recover their bodily functions as humans. They might even be able to regain their fertility. For now, only Du Beiye and Jiang Ziyi knew about this.
While they ate, the survivors could only watch. As they smelled the fragrance of the food, they couldn't help but salivate.
A little boy pulled at his brother's hand and whispered, "Brother, I'm hungry."
"Be good, we can't eat that food. When our uncle returns, we will have meat to eat," a boy, 2 years older than him, said.
The little boy pouted and went silent for a moment before he whispered, "But they didn't get sick after eating it."
The older boy couldn't explain and could only take out the last piece of meat jerky from his pocket and give it to his brother. "Here, eat this for now."
The little boy took the jerky and hesitated for a moment before he chewed it. The jerky was hard and very chewy. Every time he ate it, his jaw hurt. But besides this, they had no other option for food.
From across the vast hall, Du Beiye took out a boiled mutant chicken egg from her inventory. She knew that since these people already believed that the cause of the berserk came from these supplies, they would never eat them.
If it were before, she wouldn't care about their life and death at all. But after she spent more time on this planet with her team members, she learned that kindness and care were not weaknesses.
She walked toward the boys and squatted in front of them. "If you are hungry, eat this." After she put the egg on the little boy's arm, she added, "Don't worry, you won't get sick or die from eating it."
As she returned to her team, the little boy's eyes widened in delight while he held the warm egg. He had never seen this kind of egg in this place, so this should be safe for consumption, right?
With this thought, he raised the egg and smashed it to the ground. The egg cracked, and he peeled off the shell. When he saw the white, tender egg inside, he reached out and shoved a handful of it into his mouth.
