The aroma spread through the entire hall, and Jia Guangliang could not stop salivating.
"Grrr, grrr-"
His stomach was rebelling too. The rumbling seemed to echo through the entire hall, leaving him so embarrassed that even his ears turned red.
At first, he thought the two meals on the table were for him, but he had his pride. Even if the craving brought him to tears, he would hold out.
At least until they offered.
After humiliating himself so badly earlier, how could he not salvage a little dignity?
It was a lovely fantasy, but those two meals were for Hao Jingye and Wan Yuan. There was nothing for him.
Even more unexpectedly, they did not say another word to him. They simply ignored him and kept eating.
Jia Guangliang plopped down on the floor, dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Hao Jingye continued:
"The miasma in the Southwest did appear right at the start of the apocalypse, and it killed a lot of people. Before that, they followed the government's instructions and stayed in the Southwest instead of venturing out without good reason. Later, when the miasma grew severe, they wanted to leave, only to discover they couldn't."
Song Linwei looked up, frowning. "Do you have any specifics?"
They already knew that much, but not the details.
Jia Guangliang raised his hand. "I know. I can tell you, but-"
Hao Jingye said, "According to the Superpower People in the Southwest, once they were strong enough to protect themselves, Jia Guangliang organized a proper breakout attempt. They wanted to get out of the Southwest Mist, but they still failed. If they hadn't had a Superpower Person with a healing-type superpower, they might never have made it back. The entire group could have been wiped out."
The Southwest Miasma was fraught with danger.
