Chapter 188: Training

It was a shared cafeteria. Both civilians and soldiers were sharing the same space for their meals. The survivors who had been talking stopped their conversation as soon as they saw Luo Yuan enter the cafeteria, and began to whisper instead. A few of the soldiers also began talking about him. Fatty Xie was taking up a whole table by himself. The man looked really upset, and left the place after stuffing a bun into his mouth. Luo Yuan thought he must have somehow offended everyone.

Huo Dong sneered as he watched Fatty Xie leave. He knew those people had been trying to show of until they had found out that Luo Yuan was actually a lot more powerful than them. Now they were trying to build a bond.

“If you want some bonding time with him, better make sure your brain is stronger than his Zhanmadao,” Huo Dong thought.

“What’s happening? I don’t sense anything good here,” Cao Lin told Huo Dong, pulling on his shirt a little as she stepped back.

Huo Dong shrugged and said uncertainly, “I have no idea. You could check with Brother Luo.”

Cao Lin glared at him for a second. She was definitely not going to ask Luo Yuan such a stupid question. He had such a sensitive dignity that even standing next to him made her terrified. She had been suspecting how Huang Jiahui was able to control his temper. They got in line to collect their food, which was free of charge. It was not a luxurious breakfast, but there were buns, porridge and meat soup, which was more than enough to motivate them. The women covered their mouths as they held back their tears. The food made them too nostalgic. It brought back memories of the old days, before the mutation outbreak.

“You’re the new arrivals? Have whatever you want, don’t starve yourselves. Anyway, you guys don’t seem to have been starving for a long time. There were a few of you who died from indigestion due to excessive food intake,” the military chef told Luo Yuan and his people.

”That's sad. They must have gone through so much trouble to get here.” In fact, Luo Yuan felt indifferent about those tragedies. He had simply said something just to be polite. ”I'd like five buns, a bowl of porridge and some soup. By the way, what time is lunch and dinner here?”

“We've been quite busy recently and we'll still be in the upcoming weeks, so there's no set time for meals. It’s up to you. You eat whenever you want to eat.”

The man kept talking while he did his job, “There are only a few days of the good times left. Things will be different after we're past the rehabilitation area. They're going to implement planned economy policies. Food supply will be based on tickets. In other words, you won’t ever feel full, but you won’t die either.”

Finally, they got their food, split into two groups and sat down. The survivors sitting beside their table quickly finished up their food and left. Obviously, that was a side effect of the earlier incident.

“Cowards!” Lin Xiaoji could not bear it. He took a big bite on his bun and said, “It tastes awful.”

“We should consider ourselves lucky to even have food,” Wang Xiaguang said as she recalled what the chef had said. “We might not be able to have this kind of food again after we leave. By the way, what happened earlier in the morning? I heard Cao Lin and Huo Dong talking about it.”

“I knew that something was wrong!” Huang Jiahui said. She looked at Luo Yuan and then back at Huo Dong.

Luo Yuan continued eating his food. He did not seem keen on explaining. Huo Dong replied, “Someone was trying to challenge Brother Luo, but ended up getting scared instead.”

“I thought it was something bigger.” Wang Shishi looked disappointed.

“What were you thinking then? Did you expect some killing to have taken place?” Huang Jiahui glared at her.
