A Breakfast

A faint gray sun in the east hung wearily in the sky.

A new day had begun.

The streets of Donghai City were empty and chaotic.

There were wrecked cars, haphazardly crashed into each other.

Food, paper, and other items were scattered on the ground.

These were all things people had dropped while fleeing.

The sky was hazy and gray.

The survivors, like mice, were huddled in corners.

Cold and hungry, they didn't dare to move.

Because there were zombies everywhere outside.

Occasionally, the roars and shuffling sounds of zombies could be heard.

As well as the sounds of tearing flesh and blood.

It sent shivers down one's spine!

However, the survivors in the Star-Level Shelter had a good night's sleep and were already up and washed.

"Give me a simple meal."

A young man said cheerfully.

In his previous life, after graduating from university, he went home to raise pigs.

Everyone called him useless.

However, in this shelter, he found his value.

Because he was good at raising livestock and could treat their illnesses, the young man's rating was A-level, and he could earn 1200 points every day.

That was a full 500 points more than other agricultural workers!

The newly appointed cafeteria auntie, wearing a white uniform, happily handed the young man a plate.

Today's simple meal included steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, porridge, and tea eggs.

As for the exquisite meal and luxury meal, they required reservations.

The exquisite meal included noodles, dumplings, cake, etc.

No one had ordered the luxury meal yet.

For everyone, the simple meal options were already quite abundant.

"It's so fragrant, woo woo woo."

"Even the simple meal is so rich, I'm already looking forward to lunch."

"It's a good thing I joined the Star-Level Shelter. Looking at the situation yesterday, I doubt people outside can even afford a hot meal."

"Hurry up and get in line, we still have work later."

On the first day, everyone ordered simple meals.

After all, points weren't easy to come by.

Maybe they had other uses, and spending them all on food and drink would be too wasteful.

Swipe the Smart Bracelet on the machine next to it.

Then you can get a tray.

The dishes on the table are self-serve; as long as it fits on the plate, you can eat as much as you want.

Eat until you're stuffed!

However, there's a notice hanging nearby, prohibiting waste.

If leftover food exceeds 50 grams, there's a fine of 100 points.

Warm porridge went down.

Paired with steaming hot Tea Eggs.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness!

"Teacher, I didn't expect that even with the apocalypse, we could still eat these."

Ning Jing took a sip of soy milk and said contentedly.

"Haha, young people should eat more. The situation outside is unclear right now, and we don't know how long the disaster will last. Being able to eat a little more is a gain."

Doctor Yang was eating egg noodles.

The warm feeling in his stomach made him say a few extra words.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I will work hard. Once we achieve results, we can live even better in the shelter."

Ning Jing said seriously.

"Good, I'm counting on you!"

Doctor Yang smiled heartily.

Perhaps it was because of the experience of being framed by a villain.

Doctor Yang was very satisfied with the environment in the shelter.

Here, there are no office politics.

Everyone just needs to focus on doing their own job.

To be honest.

Even if the virus was truly contained.

Doctor Yang would want to stay in the shelter for the rest of his life, and you couldn't drive him away!

While Ning Jing was drinking her soy milk.

She idly tapped her smart bracelet.

Suddenly...

"Teacher, this smart bracelet seems to be able to access the internet and make calls!"

She saw that in the contacts section, messages were popping up just like on Weixin.

And she could even open web forums!

"What?!" Doctor Yang immediately sat up straight.

The others in the cafeteria heard this and also opened their smart bracelets.

Before the apocalypse, everyone was glued to their phones.

It felt uncomfortable not to look at their phones for a minute.

Even if there were no messages, they would still pick them up from time to time to scroll through and watch short videos.

But after various natural disasters.

The signal base stations on the ground were destroyed.

Calls couldn't be made at all.

Some cables were also damaged, making it impossible to access the internet.

This turned everyone's phones into bricks.

Now it was great, the Star-Level Shelter not only had internet, but it also seemed to have a very wide coverage!

"Wife, quickly call our son. He's studying at university in the neighboring province. I don't know if the virus has spread there."

"That's great, I can call my parents!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to post this breakfast! Let those who can't eat be envious!"

"You're too mean, count me in! Hehe."

Many people chose to call their families first.

Some who had no ties started browsing online information.

They wanted to see what the situation was like in other places.

Even more, they took a photo of their breakfast directly.

And posted it on the famous social platform from before the apocalypse—Weibo.

[Hehe, the first meal of the apocalypse, burp, I ate too much.]

They thought no one would reply.

But Weibo had a huge user base.

Soon, there were over a thousand comments below.

These are places where the fiber optic cables haven't been destroyed yet.

Looking at this Weibo post, everyone was without exception envious.

"Where are you? How do you still have fried dough sticks to eat?"

"Must be a liar, this was definitely taken before the apocalypse and is being used to deceive people now!"

"Speaking of which, brothers, I haven't closed my eyes for a day and a night, I'm tired and hungry, does anyone have some enoki mushrooms for me to hold on?"

The person who posted the Weibo saw someone questioning them.

They immediately got anxious!

They quickly shot a video to prove themselves!

"I'm in the Star-Level Shelter in Donghai City, it's very safe here, and there's a lot of food."

"As long as you work, you can exchange for survival supplies! Brothers, if you have a chance, come here."

As the video was released.

It caused a huge stir online.

After the apocalypse arrived.

Some people hid in official shelters like schools and stadiums.

As a result, when the virus broke out.

These densely populated places were the first to suffer!

Those who can escape now and still have internet access.

Are basically hiding in some corner, barely surviving.

Seeing that the Star-Level Shelter actually had such good conditions, many people started to have ideas.

Anyway, staying put is also death.

Might as well take a gamble and go to Donghai City to see the situation.

Some people in the cafeteria even called their families on the spot.

"Daughter! How are things on your end?"

"Good, good, I'm in the shelter in Donghai City, everything is fine. See if you have a chance to escape and come over!"

However, there were very few people who could get through on the phone.

Basically, the other end was always busy.

Either there was no signal, or they had already died a violent death!

With everyone's efforts, the name of the Star-Level Shelter spread wider and wider.

Those who were still running outside were asking about the conditions for joining the shelter on various media forums.

Just then.

Noah popped up the Star-Level Shelter's forum.

Whether it was the survivors inside the shelter or the people outside.

They all flocked to the forum.
