Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

"Oh...Is that so? Then come in. There's nothing here, please just sit anywhere...Safety zone, I've never been there before, did they move our village there for exhibition? Haha...What a ridiculous bunch of guys..."

The old man muttered to himself as he closed the door and walked to the stove to boil water for Xiao Qi, but realized that there was no water at home. He struggled to get water, but when he picked up the bucket, he realized that the wells in the village were full of carbonated drinks, so where was the water to drink?

Xiao Qi really couldn't bear to see the old man do anything to entertain him, so he quickly went forward to support him.

"It's okay, old man. I'm just here to take a look. Don't worry about me. Sit down first... If possible, can you tell me the story of your village? This is obviously a city, why do you still live in a village on the border..."

Xiao Qi hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly realized that the touch of the old man's hand was particularly different. Unlike those of other residents here, the old man's hands were warm and rough, and covered with medals of the working people. It was obvious that he had done a lot of physical work when he was young.

Xiao Qi frowned, calmly let go of the old man's hand, helped him sit down against the wall, and sat down opposite him.

The old man didn't care about Xiao Qi's actions, but looked deeply into the distance. He reached out his hand tremblingly and took out a photo from his pocket. He looked at the photo with some doting eyes and handed it to Xiao Qi.

"You are the first foreign traveler to visit our village. In fact, there are many tourists in this city, but they only stay in the city center. The so-called safe zone is also their favorite place to go. I heard that...you need a ticket or an invitation to enter? Most of what they see there are beautiful natural scenery. No one would care about our village at all, right?"

"The person in this photo is my wife. We met when we were teenagers, and our only child died in the famine... It was an unprecedented and terrible disaster. The land dried up, the temperature rose sharply, and no grain was harvested. I don't know how many people starved to death. She and I could still eat tree bark and grass roots, but how could a child with a delicate stomach resist such food? In the end, our child died."

"But, but... the day after our child died, the so-called goddess descended on this land. I hated her. I hated why she couldn't come earlier, why couldn't she descend here before my child died? But I had to respect her, because without her, my lover wouldn't have survived for a few days... After that, this place became better and better with construction, the city became bigger and bigger, and more and more people lived here."

"My lover and I are too old and don't plan to have another child. We wanted to live like this for the rest of our lives, but I didn't expect that my lover ate green belt because of hypoglycemia when he went out that day. He was arrested by the so-called law enforcement team and never came back. My protest is useless. We poor people at the bottom will never have any way out!"

The old man looked at the person in the photo and shed turbid tears.

The old man's experience was indeed pitiful. His only child died in the famine, but the next day he welcomed a new life into the world. His wife also disappeared, and as a person of the lower class with no power or status, he could do nothing.

Xiao Qi patted the old man's shoulder soothingly and handed the task props he had obtained to the old man.

The photo in the old man's hand had completely turned into a jelly texture, while only four corners of Xiao Qi's photo were like that. The old man looked at the photo Xiao Qi brought in some surprise, his fingers clenched tightly, and looked up to speak.

"This photo...this...why hasn't it been assimilated yet..."

"This is what I saw in the safe zone, in a building that replicates your house. What do you mean by assimilation?"

"In fact, this city was not turned into food right from the beginning. It started from the city center. Now, my house has also been completely turned into food. I hate the so-called goddess, and I hate this world where everything has turned into food even more. What they call solving the problem of food and clothing is nothing but a high-sounding joke in my opinion! But most people have accepted this world, and I really can't understand it... So I threw away all the furniture that can be thrown away. At least not being able to see them can make me feel a little better."

"I won't eat these things that were originally made of steel and plastic. I go shopping for vegetables every day... Only food grown from the land is safe and healthy. But now even the land has been turned into food by them. I don't know what it will become in the future..."

So this is the reason why the old man's room is so empty...

If this happened to her, she might not be able to accept that the land on which she depended for survival suddenly became a so-called food city.

"My child, I am old and may be buried soon. My only wish is to see my lover again. I don't know where the law enforcement team took her... Can you bring me some news about her?"

"Ding! A new mission has been issued. Help the old man find his lover's whereabouts."

When Xiao Qi heard that there was a task being issued, he took it up without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I don't have any hobbies. I just like to help others. I will bring you news about your lover as soon as possible. Just stay home and don't worry too much."

The old man was particularly fond of this kind-hearted child. He thanked him repeatedly and took out some fruits from a somewhat worn bag.

"My child, this so-called food city now is almost full of candies, with very few other kinds of food. I originally planned to save this for the child's mother. Now that I think about it, I'm actually very satisfied that she can come back. This fruit...you can take it and eat it."

Although it is true that you cannot take food out of the backpack in this copy, Xiao Qi is not that greedy. She declined the old man's fruit and told him to keep it for his lover to come back.

After leaving the village, the next step was to find the old man's lover who had been taken away. Where should he go to find him? Xiao Qi had no idea where the law enforcement team had taken those people, and he had no way to exchange information with others.

She suddenly had an idea and hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take her back to the city center.

As soon as she got in the car, Xiao Qi started her performance.

She acted as if she was extremely sad, wiping her tears and sobbing, trying to attract the driver's attention. Sure enough, the driver looked back frequently to see what was wrong with Xiao Qi. After looking back three times, he could not help but ask.

"What's wrong with you, little girl? What happened? Tell me, maybe I can help you think of a solution."

Xiao Qi continued crying for a long time before he pretended to be out of breath and spoke.

"My mother was arrested by the law enforcement team, and my father is dead. I... I am alone now. I want to find my mother. Uncle, thank you for your concern for me. Do you know where the law enforcement team takes the people they arrest? Please, please..."

The driver was moved by the story Xiao Qi made up and seemed a little conflicted, but after some hesitation he decided to help her.

"You don't have to worry about that. Those captured by the law enforcement team are sent to factories for labor reform. Although they probably won't be released...but at least your mother is still alive. You can go see her. It's at this place...There is a factory for labor reform at this place on the map. I found this by chance when I sent someone there before. Generally, the whereabouts of the law enforcement team are not allowed to be exposed, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. But you can give it a try. What if they feel sorry for you and allow you to see your mother?"

The driver hurriedly drew a rough map for Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took the map gratefully and asked the driver to go directly to the place.

The driver dropped Xiao Qi off and refused to take any money from her. He also asked Xiao Qi to say hello to her mother on his behalf. Xiao Qi took advantage of the situation and had to agree obediently, not daring to reveal any flaws.
