I run a food city in the last days

This is a small one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and bathroom.

The house is full of the atmosphere of life. Although the space is cramped, everything is kept clean. Some decorative paintings made of dried flowers, grass and leaves are hung on the walls. It can be seen that the owner takes good care of this home.

While Jiang Yiyin was looking at the dried flower paintings, Li Xuan was also looking at the wall in a daze. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "I'll get you some water."

"No need to bother," she got straight to the point, "What do you want to tell us?"

She felt that it was impossible for the other party to invite them to sit at home for no reason, or if they needed help or wanted to talk.

Li Xuan's movements paused, as if she was experiencing a battle between heaven and man.

She said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. We will try our best to help you if we can."

Lan Ling suddenly said: "Jingjing and I are from Mulan Base. We are an all-female base."

Li Xuan raised her eyes, seeming to be very interested in this sentence.

"To be honest, life at our base is not easy. In the eyes of some people, the all-female base is like a sheepfold full of fat sheep. Whenever needed, they can come and gather a few handfuls of wool or catch a few sheep. But no matter how difficult the environment was, we persevered.”

Lan Ling's indifferent face was full of pride: "We are not the strongest, but whoever wants to bully us must consider whether he can afford the price."

Li Xuan seemed to imagine what Mulan Base looked like following her words, and sighed with envy: "It's really nice."

Lan Ling hasn't finished speaking yet: "More than half of the people in our base are ordinary people. Some are our relatives, and some are people who came to seek refuge alone. Everyone performs their own duties and has a common goal, which is to make Mulan Base more and more prosperous." Get better and stronger, until no one dares to say such nonsense that the meaning of women in the last days is only to maintain reproduction."

She was usually taciturn, and this was the first time Jiang Yiyin heard her talk so much, and his eyes were a little surprised.

Lan Ling noticed her look and turned her head and stopped talking.

She couldn't help but laugh, knowing that this girl had a hard mouth and a soft heart, and she looked very disgusted with Li Xuan, and she was giving her hope both inside and outside her words.

There was indeed light in Li Xuan's eyes. She was stunned and suddenly said softly: "Actually, he and I were not like this before."

Jiang Yiyin felt that this sentence sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered it. In her original world, this was not a sentence that many female characters in unhappy marriages often said at the beginning of those bloody TV dramas she watched.

Without the happiness of the past, who would be reluctant to leave in the quagmire?

She sighed softly and did not interrupt Li Xuan. Instead, she adjusted her sitting posture and prepared to listen to a long story.

Unexpectedly, the other party's next sentence would become: "I just asked you to let him go, not because I couldn't bear to let him go, but because I owe him a life, and I can give it back to him today."

Several people looked at each other, and Jiang Yiyin asked: "Why do you owe him a life?"

"We were both ordinary people and met during an escape a few years ago. Many people died at that time. We helped each other and barely survived, but in the end we were surrounded by mutant creatures. We all thought we were certain to die... …As a result, he and I had a sudden awakening.”

They opened their eyes wide, and she thought to herself: Didn't Wang Qiang say that Li Xuan was just an ordinary person?

The doubts were quickly answered: "But Wang Qiang's awakening process was very rapid, but I was always in a state of awakening. It was very uncomfortable and even a little unclear. In that situation, I was a burden."

"But he didn't give up on me. He drained the newly awakened power and finally escaped with me. Later, we were lucky enough to arrive at Tongxin Base and found that only the other half of the survivors were accommodated here. At that time, Wang Qiang confessed to me .”

Li Xuan fell into memories, and the smile on her lips turned sweet: "I thought he was just a temporary solution, but I didn't expect that we passed the test easily and settled down in Tongxin Base smoothly."

"But unfortunately, my awakening failed in the end, and my foundation was damaged. I will never be able to become a person with powers."

It sounds like this is a sad story about Lan Yinxuguo, but people's hearts are inherently fickle, and people can't always rely on memories to support them, so none of them spoke.

Li Xuan thought about it for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Actually, I discovered something was wrong with him more than half a month ago, but I have been unwilling to face it. As you said, my weakness fueled their arrogance. Now he is pretending to be in love with me outside, he just doesn’t want to be kicked out of the base..."

Tears slowly welled up. She wiped them away and said solemnly: "I will report them. I can't live like this for a day anymore."

Lan Ling didn't waste a second: "That's how it should be."

Jiang Yiyin also nodded: "I also think this is better. He is a superpower. If you fail to control your strength, your life will be in danger."

Axiong said angrily: "If he dares to embarrass you, I will help you beat him."

Even the little girl Jingjing raised her fist: "Sister, come on."

Their encouragement gave Li Xuan courage. She ran to wash her hands and face, went to the kitchen and took out a few bags. She said, "You have helped several times, but I have nothing to repay. These are snacks I made myself. Aren’t you businessmen? You can pass the time on the road.”

This was unexpected. Jiang Yiyin took the bag and opened it, and found that there were orange-red strips inside, which looked a bit like dried sweet potatoes.

She took out one and put it under her nose and smelled it. It had a faint fragrance. She took another bite. The sticky and chewy texture was similar to dried sweet potatoes, but the sweetness was very light.

Despite this, she was still surprised. After all, in the apocalypse, everyone only wants to survive, and their requirements for quality of life are infinitely lower. The pursuit of food is only to the level of "filling the stomach, and better recovery."

This is the first person she has seen who is seriously thinking about eating and even tinkering with snacks.

Looking at Li Xuan, her heart moved, and she asked as if inadvertently: "After reporting them, will you be affected in any way?"

Li Xuan said calmly: "There must be some impact. Although ordinary people can live in Tongxin Base, the jobs they can do are not very well paid. I may have to move to a dormitory, but it doesn't matter. At least I don't have to worry about what day. He was killed by his pillowcase to make way for his new love.”

"Then have you ever considered leaving here?" she asked tentatively.

Li Xuan was surprised at first, then smiled bitterly: "Leave? I'm afraid I won't be able to reach another base safely."

Judging from her attitude, it wasn't that she didn't want to leave, but that she couldn't leave.

Jiang Yiyin was overjoyed: "Actually, I'm the owner of a food court and I'm looking for suitable employees. Are you interested in working for me? Don't worry, food, accommodation and salary are included, and your personal safety is absolutely guaranteed."
