Chapter 1375 Integration
While eating, they enthusiastically shared their feelings at the moment.
Zhao Gang gently put down his chopsticks and slowly swept his eyes across the dishes on the table. He was stunned at first, as if shocked by the richness of the table, and then revealed a complicated look.
His thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past six months or so at the Hope Base. Although it was formerly a sausage processing factory and there was no shortage of food, the sausages that were eaten day after day had become boring to everyone, and their desire for delicious food was suppressed deep in their hearts.
At this moment, looking at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him, he felt mixed emotions.
I was secretly glad that I had accepted Li Luo's suggestion, which led to the current turn of events.
Gratitude towards Li Luo surged into my heart like a tide.
If it weren't for her, everyone would probably still be struggling in that harsh environment, and would not have the opportunity to enjoy the warm hospitality of the Jinling base.
The strength and generosity shown by the officials of the Jinling base also made him sincerely grateful that he was born in such a country.
Amid the ruins of this apocalypse, only the power of the nation can hold up a sky of hope and provide shelter and warmth to the displaced.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes showing the calmness of a man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. He spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion in his voice:
"The authorities have put a lot of effort into this meal. We must not let this kindness down. We must cherish it and work together with the Jinling base to live a good life in the future and make this hard-earned life a stable one."
Wu Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, chewed with an intoxicated look on his face, and continued:
"Brother Zhao is right! This is the taste of a good life, we must work hard!" As he said that, he picked up another piece of mu xu meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. His cheeks puffed up and he kept nodding while chewing.
At another table, Aya gently put down her chopsticks, a happy smile on her face, her voice gentle and a little excited:
"This hot soup is the most heart-warming thing! Oh, I didn't know how much effort I put into having a mouthful of hot soup before, but now I can enjoy it to my heart's content. Everything in this cafeteria makes me feel that the Jinling base is like a warm harbor, and we finally have a home."
She tilted her head back slightly, as if savoring the taste of the hot soup.
“You should try these dumplings, they are absolutely amazing!” Xiao Fei’s cheeks were puffed up by the dumplings, making him look like a greedy little squirrel, completely losing his usual cool aura.
His eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy, and he muttered vaguely:
"If I could have this blessing every day in the future, I wouldn't be afraid of anything, even if it meant going through fire and water. I'm telling you the truth!"
After he finished speaking, he gobbled up another dumpling like whirlwind and continued to immerse himself in the joy brought by the food, not caring about his image at all.
At this moment, he is just a boy captured by delicious food. He completely discards his cold disguise and lets his energy and frankness flow freely.
"You, you only know how to eat!" The thin man smacked his lips and teased with a smile, "But the meat slices in this dish are crispy and tender. I almost bit my tongue just now. Oh my god! In the past, I had to save time to eat canned meat. It's not like I can eat it so happily now. It feels so good!" After saying that, he licked his lips.
"This cold bean sprouts is also delicious!" Fat Head's eyes lit up and he continued, "It has a refreshing taste and the seasoning is just right. It has whetted my appetite. My taste buds are almost gone after eating all that in the past six months. I'm finally getting the feeling back. It's not easy!" He picked up a large chopstick of bean sprouts as he spoke.
Ah Jian's expression was serious and expectant:
"This meal has shown us how powerful and wealthy the Jinling base is. We can't just enjoy it. We have to plan how to integrate into the base as quickly as possible and how to contribute to the base. After all, this may be our long-term support in the future."
He frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought.
Laughter and joyful chatter echoed in the cafeteria, dispelling the chill of the early morning and bringing people's hearts closer together.
The three furry kids, Tu Dou, Tuo Luo and Ba Tian, were also enjoying the meal.
Potato licked his paw gracefully, swallowed the food in his mouth, and raised his little head to say to Tyrant:
"There are so many fun places in this Jinling base. After dinner, we will take you to the observation tower. It is a great viewing point in our base. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. You may even be able to see the abandoned buildings occupied by overgrown plants at the foot of the mountain. It is also a unique scenery. I won't tell others about it!"
The spinning top beside him also nodded vigorously. He grabbed a piece of fish with his little tentacles and swallowed it quickly, saying impatiently:
"Also, I know there's an adventure park in the corner of the base that was converted from an underground parking lot. Although it's a bit dark and a little spooky, it's super exciting to play in! It's full of old vehicle wreckage and some weird facilities. We can play hide-and-seek in it, but be careful not to bump into those rusty iron things."
Batian had no time to talk. He just kept stuffing delicious food into his mouth. Occasionally he looked up at his friends with his dark green eyes, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
When Potato saw Batian eating, a smile appeared in his eyes. He used his claws to lightly give a piece of soft-boiled egg in the bowl to Batian, "Batian, this is for you to eat. It will give you more nutrition."
Tyrant quickly stretched out his claws to catch it, and responded incoherently:
"Thank you, Mr. Potato."
Seeing this, Tuo Luo also enthusiastically shared the food in his bowl with Ba Tian, shouting happily:
"Let's eat it together, it tastes better this way."
"..."
Looking at this lively and warm scene, the string in Li Luo's heart, which had been tense for a long time, quietly relaxed.
She slowly swept her eyes over her companions at the table, a friendly smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly:
"Everyone, don't be polite during today's meal. Just treat it as if you were at home and eat to your heart's content."
When everyone heard this, they smiled at each other, with a little more ease and joy in their eyes, and then they all picked up their chopsticks.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the table became more lively and cheerful.
Laughter and joy intertwined into a web, and everyone seemed to be tightly wrapped in the aroma of delicious food and the light of hope.
The past fatigue and gloom disappeared in an instant.
It seemed that at this moment, they had truly become a member of the Jinling base and integrated into this big family full of love and hope.
Everyone was discussing the future plans for the Jinling base, their words filled with longing and determination for a new life.
At this time, it was late at night and the moonlight was pouring quietly like water into every corner of the Jinling base.
Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and had satisfied, tired looks on their faces.
Arrange staff to lead everyone back to their residence to rest.
