The overflowing sweetness revived her barren taste buds almost instantly.

"good to eat!"

It turns out that those scallops and salted fish are not the only things you can eat in the world.

Anita seemed to have discovered a new world.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

"Grandma, wait a minute..."

She turned around, ran to a corner, and began to unload the bricks there.

"So I'm old enough to be a grandma?"

Seeing Shuangxing snickering, Outcast reluctantly took off the hat on his head.

"Ah, I found it. Here it is for you."

Anita found three scallops from under the brick cracks. Salt had obviously been added to the shriveled meat, otherwise it would not have remained rotten for such a long time.

"This is what my mother told me to keep some of it no matter what. No matter how hungry I am, as long as I can still find something to eat, I must not touch it."

"Now, I give it to you, grandma."

She held the three scallops as if offering a treasure, her eyes seemed to be shining.

This is the most important thing about Anita.

"Okay, I will cherish it."

Outcast didn't intend to eat it, but he still cherished it and planned to take it.

She didn't refuse, because this was the greatest kindness the girl in front of her could offer.

"Don't move."×2

Kevin and Skadi said in unison.

Skadi stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm, her eyes becoming serious.

"What exactly is this?"

"Yes, they are shellfish picked up from the shore."

The little girl was very scared. She didn't know why the big sister who was so friendly just now suddenly changed her appearance.

"Impossible. There is no food in the sea here, and it is even less possible for you to gain any harvest. This sea has become quiet."

she said flatly.

Effect: When the operator suffers

When receiving fatal damage, retain a little life for 3 seconds.

Description: Three scallops pickled with sea salt. The unrefined sea salt makes the taste salty, and the rough pickling technique makes them unpalatable.

Food like this will never appear on the tables of nobles in a lifetime.

But for the suffering people, it is their last hope - called "hope of life".

Chapter 1 Judge Elini

"What's wrong with these scallops?"

Out of caution, Shuangxing did not pick up the scallop that fell on the ground, but used a small ice knife to pull it.

But no matter how much she observed, she didn't find any difference between this stuff and what was served in the Rhode Island cafeteria.

"No, there is absolutely no way any food will appear here."

Skadi was absolutely sure of this. The coast of Salt Wind City was completely "dead".

"But this is what I picked up on the shore."

Anita felt aggrieved. This was something she had always been reluctant to eat.

"Let her go first and calm down. You need to be calm enough to explain, right?"

The outcast smoothed things over and eased the tension at the scene. She was also a little confused about the origin of the scallops.

"Is there anything wrong with this scallop?"

In the "dead" ocean, the only ones who can survive for a long time are the heirs.

The moment Skadi saw the scallop, a guess emerged in his mind.

But even if she didn't want to believe it, she knew that that was probably the truth about the source of Yanfeng City's food.

"This is Haiji's meat."

Kevin had no scruples and stared at the scallop with his sky-blue eyes.

He finally understood why everyone in this city carried Haiji's alienated aura.

But it looks like it should taste better than Honkai beast meat?

He compared the two carefully. After all, Honkaimon is made of silicon and normal people can't bite it without biting their teeth.

No one knew how far Kevin's mind had jumped.

But his words really threw a thunder in the hearts of Shuangxing and Outcast.

"This thing will corrode your body and brain."

Skadi's eyes were heavy, and no one understood better than her how serious the cognitive damage caused by those babbles and alienated organs.

"Erosion...what is it?"

Anita didn't quite understand this unfamiliar term to her, but she vaguely understood that it might not be a good thing.

"But we have nothing else to eat."

She couldn't help but defend herself, no, everyone in the city.

The three of them were silent. There was no food. This was the biggest helplessness.

Even if the principles and rules are shouted loudly, one fact cannot be denied.

No one has the obligation to starve to death for those ethereal things, no one!

"One hundred, one hundred..."

The sounds outside gradually became noisy from the rustling at first.

I saw those zombie-like citizens getting up from the ground, holding an old clay pot in their hands, and taking out shell slices.

They were walking in the same direction as if they had a purpose.

"Ah, it turns out that today is already one day."

Anita suddenly realized that even if she saw such a strange scene, she didn't seem to be surprised.

It's like I'm used to it.

"Then can you tell grandma what a day is?"

Outcast tried to keep his tone softer so as not to make the girl in front of him feel nervous.

"Well, aren't you curious about the source of these foods?"

In Anita's opinion, this was not something worth keeping secret.

"Every hundred days, the adults will choose a person who draws a red shell to go to the beach. By the next day, the coast will be covered with food."

"What about the person who drew the red shell?"

Shuangxing looked at the numb crowd outside the door.

"Go live in the sea."

This is murder!

This thought came to everyone's mind, but Anita smiled, as if she was indeed happy for those people.

"?"

"Where else do you want them to go? The law and the priests say so, there will be no disease or hunger..."

There, you must be able to eat such sweet "candy" every day, right?

Anita squeezed the iron box in her hand.

"Speak! Why don't you speak? You are planning to send people to the sea. Do you know what you are doing?!"

His voice was obviously green, but his tone was unexpectedly sharp.

The sudden noise outside also attracted the attention of the three people inside.

"Famine, disease...I expected to see these things, but you lived better than I imagined."

Little Li Boli frowned deeply

He frowned, something was wrong.

Obviously according to the previous news, after so many years, the citizens of Yanfeng City should not be still alive.

"But now, you are forcing a man to die."

"We didn't force him, he did it voluntarily."

The stopped citizen's eyes were still numb, and he recognized the decoration of the person in front of him.

Judge, but so what?

Are you afraid of their swords?Or that dark hand cannon?

If you really want to die, maybe it will be more pleasant.

"Someone is bewitching you. You are not even afraid of death anymore. You are turning into a monster."

The other party was not afraid of their own weapons. Elini was angry, but not at these citizens.

"Someone is tempting you, I will find them out and take them back, I swear!"

"up to you."

The citizen shook his head and made way for Elini. To him, the life and death of this inquisitor was not even as important as whether he could pick up one more scallop on the shore tomorrow.

Elini's blood was rising, but she still took a deep breath, as the teacher had told her.

A mature judge will not let his emotions or likes and dislikes affect the fairness of the judgment, but right now, it seems that her realm is still far away.

"Come out, you Argors in the house."

This is why she came here, if it weren't for the strange behavior of the citizens that affected her energy.

I'm afraid Elini has already come to the door.

"Open the door. Citizens and harborers will be punished with the same crime according to the law."

Elini's voice appeared outside the door, and she no longer planned to carry out such meaningless actions as stalking.

Moreover, the person who came into contact with the Agor man later was her accomplice?

It's time to close the net.

"I, I didn't hide it."

The name of the judge is still a deterrent to the sober Anita.

She looked embarrassed and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

No one who was taken away by the inquisitor could come back. Anita was still young and she didn't want to end her life so hastily.

"You all saw that she couldn't hold it back first."

Skadi glanced at the three of them and spread his hands.

People are knocking on the door. It would be rude not to fight back.
