259 You Guys Enjoy Your Meal, I’ll Be Leaving First

Obviously, they should have lived a good life before, and their food and drinks had never been bad. Although they were trapped here due to the tsunami and could not go out, they would definitely not be happy eating this kind of hard steamed buns. At this time, the celestial lord opened his mouth to speak again, “I know that everyone thinks these steamed buns are hard to swallow, but I ask everyone to think carefully. How many of our compatriots are still alive and dead outside? And how many old people and children wouldn’t mind these steamed buns? Are you unwilling to eat steamed buns? We’re very lucky to be able to sit here safely, to fill our stomachs, and to drink clean water, aren’t we?”

After saying that, the celestial lord no longer spoke. Instead, he picked up the steamed bun made from coarse grains in front of him and took a big bite. Seeing the celestial lord eating, those who had been conflicted or disdainful just now became determined. “If even the celestial lord can endure this hardship, why can’t we?”

“Right! Compared to those who are wandering outside, we’re already very lucky!”

“Friends, let’s not be picky at this time and make things difficult for the celestial lord!”

!!

“That’s right. It’s good enough that there’s something to eat. I don’t care if you guys eat it or not, I’m going to eat it anyway!”

Everyone chimed in to respond to the celestial lord’s words and stuffed the steamed bun into their mouths. All of them were choked to the point of rolling their eyes, but their expressions were still determined. They had no intention of stopping. Under such circumstances, it would be too eye-catching if Du Yue and He Xing did not join in the meal.

After exchanging a glance with each other, the two people pulled off their face masks and lowered their heads to eat the steamed buns. The texture of the bun was no different from Du Yue’s imagination. It was dry and choking, and she had to chew for a long time before she could swallow it. Even if she tried to drink a mouthful of water to aid it, it still could not moisten her mouth. Her mouth was still full of dry dregs, making it difficult for her to swallow.

Du Yue chewed expressionlessly, not showing much disdain. After all, in her previous life, she had eaten countless such buns. The wheat husks used in the bun were not a lot as it was mainly made from grains. This was already considered a good thing. Du Yue had previously eaten sweet potato noodles or cornmeal noodles that were 90% wheat husks and only 10% sweet potato or cornmeal mixed together. Those were really hard to swallow.

If it was not for the sake of survival, no one would eat that kind of thing. Before Du Yue could swallow the bun in her mouth, she heard the sound of a chair moving back. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the celestial lord standing up. “I’m done eating. I still have some things to deal with, so I’ll take my leave first. Everyone, please take your time eating.”

Everyone responded and asked the celestial lord to go and do his work. He did not have to entertain them.

Before he left, he called out to a few people in the crowd. They stood up one after another, took the buns and mineral water, and quickly followed him. Du Yue was puzzled as she watched them leave. At this time, what other important things needed to be dealt with? Could it be that they were going to discuss the rescue?

Du Yue really wanted to follow them and find out what was going on, but she could not act rashly with so many people around her. Fortunately, not long after the celestial lord left, the remaining people also left one after another. Du Yue and He Xing followed them. They glanced downstairs, but in the end, they still followed the crowd upstairs.

They squeezed through the crowd and returned to their room on the eighth floor. After closing the door, Du Yue immediately threw all the buns into the trash can in the interspace. Although it was the taste and texture that she was already used to in her previous life, and it would not cause any harm to her body, they were simply too unpalatable. If there were any other options, no one would be willing to eat them.

Now that there was a power outage, Du Yue did not want to waste any more time. She took out two boxes of rice and fried vegetables from her interspace. The food was already cooked, so the aroma was not very strong. After eating, she opened the window for ventilation.

After the window was opened, the sound of the seawater surging below could be heard more clearly. Du Yue looked down. It was still foggy, and she could not see anything. However, as she listened to the sound of the waves, she felt that the water level seemed to have dropped a little.

Just as she was about to close the window, she suddenly smelled a fragrance. It was a very rich meaty aroma. Du Yue was taken aback. She turned around and called out to He Xing, who was sitting on a chair. “He Xing, come over for a moment. ”

“What’s wrong?” He Xing asked, but he still quickly stood up and walked to Du Yue’s side.
