Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Before the conversation, Shi Anan made an excuse to leave, took out a large bag of food from his backpack, and moved it over.

When these hungry people saw the food, their eyes sparkled and they wanted to rush over to grab it, but they did not dare to act rashly under Xiao Yi's fierce gaze with a sword in his hand.

It stands to reason that when facing a group of hungry people, you cannot just give out food, otherwise you will become the target of public criticism.

But Shi Anan took into consideration that they were hungry and probably had no mood to communicate with her. She also wanted to see if there were any extremely vicious people in this group. If they wanted to rob, Xiao Yi and she would not be pushovers.

Fortunately, although these people were hungry, they still retained some rationality. Although they were ready to act, they still restrained themselves.

Shi Anan handed the food to the woman and said, "Cook all of this into porridge and share it with everyone."

The woman asked in disbelief: "Give...give us food?"

Those people nearby who originally wanted to grab the food also stared at the two in amazement.

Shi Anan nodded: "Yes, I'll give you food. We'll talk after you're full."

The woman took the food and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor!"

Other people also gradually reacted and thanked them.

"Okay, you guys cook it and eat it first. And for those who can't move, if they still want to live, give them a bite too."

Shi Anan really couldn't bear to watch it. He was clearly still alive, but he was still lying there waiting to die.

"Oh! Okay, okay, I'll go cook porridge right away." The woman responded repeatedly.

Because everyone was hungry, as soon as they saw the food, they wanted to eat it quickly. It didn’t matter if there weren’t enough pots, your family could provide one and I could provide one too. It didn’t matter if there weren’t enough bowls, they could just use bamboo bowls to serve the food.

Under such circumstances, the cooked porridge soon gave off an enticing aroma.

Everyone was guarding the pot, their eyes fixed on the food in the pot, wishing they could swallow the pot right away.

"Okay!" As soon as the woman opened her mouth, those who were still able to move gathered around her.

"Line up! Line up! We've got them all!" the hungry woman shouted weakly, but her voice was too small and no one listened to her.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and blocked with his sword, then coldly spat out two words: "Queue up."

With Xiao Yi blocking the way, everyone didn't dare to act rashly. They lined up obediently to get the porridge and ate aside.

Some people started crying while eating:

"Woo woo woo, I haven't eaten normal food in a long time."

"Burp~ Everyone does. I finally feel full after so many days."

Some people also worry about the future while eating:

"But after this meal, what can we do for the next meal?"

"Yeah, you'll still be hungry for the next meal."

"Hey, let's go ask that girl. Since she can give us a bag of food for free, it proves that she must have more!"

"You ate other people's food, so don't have any evil thoughts."

"No, we are not Liu Dali. Isn't he getting his comeuppance now?"

When the people were discussing, they didn't deliberately lower the volume, so Shi Anan, who was paying attention, also listened.

I heard them talking about Liu Dali. Who is this Liu Dali?

Seeing that the woman had also finished eating, she asked her, "Auntie, who is this Liu Dali they are talking about?"

With food in her stomach, the woman felt better and answered, "Before the hailstorm, many people died in the town. Later, many people from surrounding villages moved in. At first, it was still good. Later, when it was extremely cold, the town ran out of food, so the government had to stop distributing porridge. Then there was a riot in the town, and the mayor died."

Hearing this, it is similar to what those people from Changle Village who came back from the town said.

"After the mayor died, the town was leaderless and no one was in charge. A village chief named Liu Dali took advantage of the fact that he had the most people in his village and started to bully the town."

"Not only did they take people from their village to rob people from other small villages, they also robbed and killed some of the wealthy families who originally lived in the town. After the extreme cold passed, the villages that still had the strength to leave the town returned to their villages. Only people like us who were originally from the town, and some people in the villages who were almost wiped out, stayed in the town to survive and continue to accept their oppression."

"Maybe God couldn't bear it anymore. When the sky fire came, the area where Liujia Village was concentrated was the worst hit. Liu Dali was burned to ashes that night!"

As the woman spoke, she actually laughed happily. It seemed that the people in the town hated the village chief named Liu Dali very much.

"So now these are the only people alive in this town?" Shi Anan continued to ask.

When the woman heard this question, she nodded with a look of sadness: "These people should be the only ones left in the town. They all escaped by luck."

Then he looked at Shuanzi with a gentle and compassionate look: "Shuanzi and I were originally neighbors. I almost died. It was his mother who saved me, but she herself did not survive."

"My children and husband also didn't escape the attack of the skyfire. I wanted to go with them, but Shuanzi's mother saved me, and I wanted to help her take care of Shuanzi..." She choked twice, and then she couldn't control herself and covered her face and cried.

The woman probably realized that she had lost her composure. After crying for a while, she calmed down and said to Shi Anan, "There are only so many people in the town. As for whether there are still people alive around, we don't know. We don't have the ability to go to the county, so we don't know the situation in the county."

"By the way, young lady, are you and this young man really living in the mountains? How come you don't look affected at all?"

After the woman asked the question, other people nearby also pricked up their ears and listened. They were also very curious.

Is there really a place in this world where they can live well?

Shi Anan nodded and admitted: "I came from Guangming Village. Although there was a disaster there, it was not a big problem. Life there was fine."

"Guangming Village?!" a younger man nearby shouted.

"Yan Fei, have you been to Guangming Village?" the man's companion asked him curiously.

The man named Yan Fei nodded and said, "I went to Guangming Village when I was delivering goods before. It is said that it was a place of exile before, and then it was moved to a new place. Those exiled people built a village there."

"The road from town to there is difficult to travel. If the head of Guangming Village hadn't begged us, we wouldn't have wanted to send him there. It took us almost half a month to go there and back. And that village is not big. There are only a few dozen people left, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. The villagers can't even get enough food, and those who can leave to find a way to survive have left."

After hearing Yan Fei’s detailed account, everyone believed that he had really been to Guangming Village. But based on the description, is the Guangming Village that Yan Fei was talking about the same place as the Guangming Village that the girl was talking about?
