Liu Family Village was the first to be hit; in their minds, the entire village had probably already been razed to the ground.
The Deer Town and the Scavenger Community that follow...
The situation now is probably not much better.
Song Xiaozhu frowned and asked, "Won't the beast tide reach the Fortress? Can the walls over there hold?"
Xiao Yunjie eyelashes. "Perhaps, this is Fan Cang's true purpose."
Song Xiaozhu had also thought about this question.
There's no doubt that the beast horde flattened the Garbage Mountain, but what happened after that?
Can the Fortress walls serve as a new buffer zone?
I'm afraid that won't work; otherwise, the tycoons in the Fortress wouldn't have spent so much money building it.
The protective isolation belt has been installed.
Once the Fortress walls are breached...
The Ink City fell instantly.
What benefits would this bring to Fan Cang?
Song Xiaozhu: "Isn't his family the top conglomerate in the Fortress? Why would they destroy themselves...?"
Xiao Yunjie considered for a moment and said, "Miss, when you go back you can try asking Master Bai. He... might know something."
Song Xiaozhu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back."
As they spoke, they entered the camp. Liu Huli and the others carried in the wooden barrels filled with meat. The Hunter from Er Ying's team also ran back, peeking out curiously.
Song Xiaozhu asked, "Are there any left in the camp?"
Xiao Yunjie understood her meaning and instructed, "Call them all over; it's time to eat."
Before long, the Hunter who were taking a break from their shifts arrived. By then, Liu Huli had already opened the wooden barrels and smelled the enticing aroma of meat.
The journey didn't take much time, and the wooden barrels were well-sealed, preventing the release of any fragrance and maintaining a certain temperature.
At this moment, one by one the lids were lifted, and the aroma overwhelmed everyone in the room.
The Hunter who arrived all carried their own bowls and chopsticks, and even with Xiao Yunjie present, they couldn't help but start whispering among themselves:
"What is this? It smells so good!"
"I see Miss Song. Could she be one of the new light meals from the shop?"
"Is this what casual dining tastes like? Why... why..."
"Meat! This is meat, brothers!"
"Meat? That... that kind of meat is rationed in the community, even wealthy workshop owners only eat it once a year...?"
"Impossible! How could there be so much meat? There were seven or eight wooden barrels!"
Xiao Yunjie: " Miss Song has come to visit everyone and brought some boiled pork. Please help yourselves with your bowls."
As soon as she finished speaking, the tent was silent for a full three seconds, then erupted in barely suppressed cheers. "It really is meat!"
"My God, I can't believe I'm actually eating meat in my lifetime!"
" Miss Song is so kind; she's even willing to let us eat such expensive things."
"Waaah... Mom and Dad, I've made it big! I got to eat meat..."
The last sentence left Song Xiaozhu both amused and exasperated, but when she realized it wasn't a joke, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Eating meat means you're successful.
This is a fact for the people of Liu Family Village.
Song Xiaozhu explained gently, "I've tasted all of this meat. It tastes good and is clean enough. Eating it regularly can even improve your basic physical fitness..."
As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her. Many young people looked confused, and some even asked directly, "Long-term consumption?"
This sounds like a distant dream.
At this moment, Liu Huli couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his voice and said, "This is all the meat of the Polluted Beast! Miss Song used her own Force to make fresh meat for everyone!"
Er Ying exclaimed in shock, "This... this is actually the meat of Polluted Beast? Isn't that meat poisonous...?"
Liu Huli: " Miss Song can even make such potent medicines, so what's a little fresh meat!"
Song Xiaozhu added, "Yes, I extracted a new medicine from the internal organs of the Polluted Beast. It can be used to detoxify them, so everyone won't have to be afraid of highly toxic Polluted Beast anymore."
As these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Actually, no one ever questioned Song Xiaozhu. As long as it was something she made, no matter what the Raw Material were, the finished product was always top-notch.
"It's actually the flesh of Polluted Beast! Their flesh is edible!"
"Try it, hurry up and try it!"
"Holy crap, this is so delicious! How can something taste this good?!"
Everyone started eating without a care for appearances. Fortunately, there were many people and not much meat, so no one ate until they were stuffed.
However, those who could go to the battlefield were all young men with good physiques. Both men and women had big appetites. After eating two or three bowls of large chunks of meat, they were not only full, but they also didn't taste anything.
Xiao Yunjie said, "The rest should be left for the next team. If you're still hungry, go drink some wild vegetable porridge."
The group of Hunter looked miserable, as if they hadn't eaten for three days.
Song Xiaozhu smiled and said, "It's alright, there are plenty of Polluted Beast here. I'll make some more fresh meat later, so we'll have something to eat tonight."
One sentence invigorated them again, and someone even said, "I'm full of energy now, I want to go and slay the Polluted Beast."
"Me too, me too."
"Let's go, let's go... Ouch."
Their squad leader was still rational; he gave each of them a flick on the forehead to make them behave.
The tent was in an uproar, but Song Xiaozhu stood there, frozen in place. Even with her excellent self-control, she was starting to lose her composure.
The notification sound kept ringing in her ears, repeating similar words over and over. She didn't find it noisy at all; in fact, she found it incredibly pleasant to listen to.
" Leadership Value +100, Leadership Value +100, Leadership Value +300, Leadership Value +500..."
Song Xiaozhu quickly summoned the Workbench and looked at the detailed panel.
When I looked, I was shocked!
These few buckets of meat actually earned me a whopping 50,000 Leadership Value.
