Chapter 736 Hopeless City (4)
The specific landing location is uncertain. It may be inside Hopeless City or outside. In short, everyone must rely on these supplies if they want to survive.
No one who comes here will talk about their past affairs. Everyone has only one identity when they come here, an abandoned person.
The city is so big that it would take a whole week to walk around it. Although it is big, the place where you can live is very small.
Except for the centermost area, there will be an animal called an evil raccoon roaming everywhere else. This creature is covered in white and moves very fast and has a ferocious personality. They feed on the people in the Hopeless City, but they cannot get close to the end of the Hopeless City. Central location.
So the people living here are all crowded together, and they never take a step outside the scarlet border.
But this is just normal times.
Because the supplies at the end of the year will be randomly dropped, in order to survive, they must step out of this red line, search for supplies in the dark, and be ready to be snatched away by evil dogs at any time.
The amount of supplies does not change every year, but it is always enough. That is because of the existence of evil raccoons.
Their hunting will keep the number of people in Hopeless City within a balanced range.
New people will be thrown in every year, and if no one is eaten, the balance in Hopeless City will be broken sooner or later.
This year's supplies arrived late, and the signal light never came on. In the dark, the members of the supplies team sat together around a bonfire that was about to burn out, looking at each other.
"Fourteen more people came in this year."
The man who spoke had a beard all over his face. His body under the raccoon fur coat was a bit bulky, but he was exceptionally tall and strong. In his hand, he was holding a bottle of vodka that was about to bottom out. He took a swig and threw it to the man. The person next to me.
"Is there a woman?"
The drinking man laughed narrowly, and the people around him laughed.
This is their only pastime in the cold night. "Yes, there are five."
"Hey, then I need to bring more supplies back."
"Come on, just you?"
The laughter started again. These people could always laugh at some silly jokes and enjoy them.
The weather seemed to have gotten a lot colder, and they waited until dawn again, but in the end the signal light symbolizing the landing of supplies still did not light up.
"Damn, what happened this year!"
The man directly smashed the vodka bottle into the corner. The sound of breaking glass was particularly harsh in this quiet corner. Everyone said nothing and walked toward the center of the city with weapons on their shoulders.
When we walked to the center of the city, it happened to be lunch time. Everyone was very hungry, because the supplies were running out at the end of the year, and new people came to the city, but no new batch of supplies came.
So for today's lunch, ordinary people only have a piece of bread that is almost frozen to stone, and a piece of sesame oil that is only the size of a baby's fist.
Those who received lunch chose to eat it on the spot, otherwise they might be snatched away in the next second.
There are people from the supply team here, and the captain is not allowed to cause trouble when distributing supplies.
So there were hundreds of people squatting densely on such an empty hay field. They wolfed down their own food, then raised their heads to watch the people in the supply team eating while holding their still hungry stomachs.
Their lunch was sumptuous, with a table filled with hot milk, soft bread, and even warm spinach and egg soup.
Although they are very greedy, no one will go up to grab it. Because they offend the supplies team, they may not be able to get a piece of bread in the next batch of supplies.
