The three of them sat around the campfire.
On the flas, three cans of at were bubbling and steaming.
The rich aroma of at wafted through the cave.
And slightly closer to the flas were several pieces of bread being toasted.
The mix of at aroma and the wheat scent of the bread made ‘Old Man’, Lauren Delder keep swallowing his saliva.
"If only we had carrots and potatoes.”
"And best with a big iron pot.”
‘Old Man’ couldn’t help but say.
"Please! ”
"We are on the run!”
"Finding these cans is already a great stroke of luck.”
Lauren Delder couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Know that the canned at before them was not made in the canning factories of District 16.
It was genuine Uptown premium quality.
Real at.
For Lauren Delder, after becoming a subordinate of ‘Jing’, he could only eat such cans for about two or three days a month, relying mostly on bread for sustenance the rest of the ti.
The bread was either moldy.
Or hard enough to be used as bricks.
And after becoming a collaborator with ‘Jing’, Lauren Delder hadn’t had a chance to enjoy before reality hit him.
So, at this mont, Lauren Delder truly craved the canned at.
Thus, when Jason was the first to pick up a can, Lauren Delder couldn’t bother with getting burned and directly grabbed the second one, first scooping a piece of at into his mouth, chewing it vigorously.
Then, not forgetting to stuff toasted bread into his mouth.
Devouring it ravenously.
At the end, Lauren Delder even used the bread in his hand to wipe the at soup and grease clean from the can.
Then, Lauren Delder looked to the side.
In a corner of the cave, neatly arranged were hundreds of cans.
Mainly at, with so vegetables.
All carefully selected by Jason.
At this point, these cans were quite attractive to Lauren Delder.
However, Lauren Delder ultimately gritted his teeth, giving up on the idea of grabbing another can.
Each of the three of them had an allotted quota.
To last longer.
They had to practice restraint.
‘Bitterness weed’ and similar foods needed to be collected.
Thinking of the bitterness weed’s taste, Lauren Delder’s face twisted, involuntarily recalling the deliciousness of the canned at.
He quickly shook his head.
Preparing to divert his attention.
After looking at the ‘Old Man’, who, like him, was also eating a bit ravenously.
Lauren Delder’s gaze was drawn to Jason.
Not only was he eating slowly and thoughtfully.
There was an air of elegance.
As if there was a dining table in front of him, sitting in a high-backed chair.
And instead of canned food, it was steak.
As expected, soone from Uptown.
Lauren Delder admired.
Then, Lauren Delder felt even hungrier.
Without satisfying his stomach, never watch soone else eat.
It will just make you hungrier the more you watch.
It’s purely a form of tornt.
For this reason, Lauren Delder had to shift his focus once more.
He began to stoke the campfire, roasting the walls around, hoping it would be dry and warm when they slept later.
At this ti, Jason finished the last bite of bread and stood up, heading outside.
"Jason?”
Lauren Delder asked.
"An after-dinner walk.”
Jason replied, continuing to walk out without stopping.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Lauren Delder seed to hear a series of hungry stomach growls.
Instinctively, Lauren Delder clutched his stomach, leaning against the heated wall.
He assud it was himself.
Without giving it more thought.
As for Jason?
Impossible.
Jason was full.
Otherwise, why go for a walk?
