Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

The leader was still thinking about the story Xiao Qi had just told her. In a game of life and death where even teammates couldn't fully trust each other, could there be such a loyal love? She had only seen suicide for love in picture books and novels.

"You look like this, don't you really suspect that I killed his child to seize the supplies?"

Xiao Qi looked at the leader with a smile and asked a question. The leader shook his head repeatedly, fearing that Xiao Qi would misunderstand him.

"How could that be? I know exactly what kind of person you are. Besides, you don't even care about these supplies."

"Don't be polite. It's getting late. I'm going to go back after I finish your dinner."

Having said that, the leader opened her ring and contacted the person in charge of dinner. Halfway through her words, she suddenly turned around and asked Xiao Qi what he wanted to eat. Since Xiao Qi knew the current situation of the Alliance, he naturally could not make any requests.

"You guys are having a hard time too. Just eat whatever you normally eat today. You don't need to cook anything special for me."

The leader looked a little embarrassed. After all, their normal meals were really not up to par.

"Well... let them cook something you like. It's just this time, and you won't need much. This is your first time here, and we'll have a long-term deal in the future, so we can't treat you unfairly. Don't refuse."

The leader seemed very excited, so Xiao Qi just casually mentioned a meal that was easier to make.

"Then let's eat rice bowl. Just make anything you want and put anything on it."

The leader received the signal and immediately went to ask the people in the kitchen to make arrangements.

At dinner time, the leader brought Xiao Qi to a hall on the second underground floor. This was the temporary public cafeteria of the Tongmenghui, responsible for providing everyone with lunch and dinner every day. Although it was called a cafeteria, it actually only had a few windows and a large number of tables, chairs and benches.

Everyone was queuing up for food. The leader and Xiao Qi were also in the queue and quickly received their share.

When he saw the so-called rice bowl, Xiao Qi paused for a moment in surprise.

On a not-so-big plate was a fist-sized amount of rice, covered with a handful of meat and vegetable leaves, and more brown soup. The amount did not seem enough to fill an adult, but it was enough for a half-grown child.

Xiao Qi can understand that meat and vegetables are expensive, but rice is one of the cheapest foods, so how could it be so scarce?

When the leader saw Xiao Qi's surprised expression, he realized that the meal had shocked her and he felt his heart stop for a moment.

"Is it not enough? I have some fruit here, you can eat some..."

As the leader spoke, he took out a somewhat wilted apple from his backpack. As we all know, supplies placed in a backpack will not rot, so it can only be said that the apple was already like this when it was found. How could the leader be reluctant to eat an apple of this quality and keep it until now?

Just when Xiao Qi was brainstorming, two people who walked over gave Xiao Qi an even greater shock.

"We actually had rice bowls today. I wonder if the people who were looking for supplies found something good. There was even meat...! I don't even know when was the last time I had meat. I'm really lucky today. Fortunately, I came back early and caught up with dinner."

"And it feels like there are a lot of vegetables, and two kinds of side dishes. It's been a long time since I had such a good meal."

The two people walked very quickly and passed by Xiao Qi and the leader in an instant. The leader obviously heard what the two people were saying, but her expression remained calm, proving that this was a fact known to everyone and she did not need to hide or doubt it.

"No, keep it for yourself. I don't really like apples."

Xiao Qi smiled awkwardly, declined the leader's apple, and then sat down at a random table with the leader.

"You also know that the conditions of our alliance are not very good. I am really sorry if the hospitality is not good enough. Next time I will definitely..."

"no need."

Xiao Qi interrupted the leader.

"It's not easy for you either, and there's nothing wrong with this kind of food. I often can't eat such food. At the beginning, I often had to eat steamed buns and sesame cakes, and I couldn't even think about hot food. Now many organizations are in the starting stage, and it's normal that they don't develop well. In my opinion, I think the Alliance will develop sooner or later. This food is very good, I like it very much."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he started stuffing the food on the plate into his mouth. Although the portion was small, it tasted good.

After dinner, Xiao Qi could see that everyone was half hungry and half full, including the leader and himself.

But no one said anything. After dinner, they left quietly and prepared to go back to rest.

The leader said that most of the members of the alliance went to bed early, including her, and in a few hours, all the lighting equipment here would be turned off and the candles would be extinguished.

The reason for this seems obvious: if dinner doesn't fill your stomach, staying awake will only make it more and more difficult to fall asleep.

After they moved underground, the amount of lighting they needed every day increased significantly. For example, they had to carefully calculate the usage of each of the most commonly used candles.

At this point, Xiao Qi simply said goodbye as soon as possible.

The leader personally escorted her out of the shelter and wanted to go further, but Xiao Qi refused.

It was not dark yet, and there were still many people exploring the residential buildings. Xiao Qi was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure among them.

It was a man she had met in the official shelter before. The man was also among the pioneers. Xiao Qi had only met him a few times, but because of his special appearance, Xiao Qi recognized him at a glance.

The man seemed to have finished his exploration and was about to leave. The moment he looked up, his eyes met Xiao Qi's and he recognized her.

For ordinary people, the appearance of a boss can be remembered at just one glance. After all, it is still unknown whether there will be a need for help in the future or whether some help can be obtained through a single encounter.

Xiao Qi was about to look away when he saw the man running over and greeting him.

Helpless, Xiao Qi had to nod to the man and greet him.

"I remember your last name is Qi, right? I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here to find the newly appeared residential area? I didn't see you inside just now... Where is your shelter? Or should we go to the official shelter? I drove here, we can go together."

Xiao Qi then realized that there was a somewhat shabby car parked behind the man. She had seen it before, and it had been pulled out to do some work when the official shelter was mass poisoned.

"Thank you, but no thanks. The official shelter is not on the way to my place."
