Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Hunger Games (Part I) Galaxy
The human girl who sat in the corner sleeping was named Kayla and was eleven years old.
The Snow boy who was leaning on the railing and looking out was Tuka, twelve years old.
The Moro girl crouching in the corner in a daze was called Kara, ten years old.
And the demon boy who sat alone on the only haystack in the room, in a daze, but Xinghe didn't know his name or how old he was.
......
In short, there were nine children in the cell, except for the demon spirit and the two children who had been huddled together and weeping, all of them gave a brief introduction to themselves, all of the children including him were between the ages of nine and twelve, and Galaxy did not find anything in common between them, the only thing they had in common was that they all met Lloyd between July 47th and 49th.
Being caught at different times and then waking up at the same time can only achieve this effect with magic or potions, which means that something must have happened in this interval, although the galaxy still can't figure out what exactly happened.
After everyone woke up, Xinghe determined the location of Anton and Lanyue, Anton was locked up in the third cell from the left in the opposite row, and Lanyue was locked in the second cell on the right side of Xinghe's row, and neither of them was injured.
Lloyd and Saint never showed up again after that appearance, as if they had forgotten about them, and Xinghe didn't know how long it had been in this place where he had not seen the light of day, but since he had slept twice, it would not be a short time.
And during this time, all of them did not get a drop of water, and when the children first woke up, the crying here was incessant, but now, all the cells were quiet, and even the little girl who had been crying against the wall was now only sobbing secretly.
Everyone was hungry, there was no one to cry, and Lloyd didn't have a toilet here, two children wet the bed in the cell last night, and the environment in the cell was not very good now, but now Xinghe's nose couldn't smell that bad smell.
In addition, Xinghe shouts every once in a while to confirm the safety of Anton and Arashiki, and so far, they are fine, but if this situation continues, things will be difficult to say.
"Fatty, Satsuki, how are you?" Xinghe pinched the time and leaned against the railing.
"Brother, I'm fine. β
"Xinghe, save your efforts. Anton's voice sounded a little weak, but he was probably just hungry.
"Xinghe! Xinghe! Do you smell it?"
As soon as Xinghe leaned down, he heard Anton shouting, and he poked his head out of the cell, "What are you shouting, didn't you just say that you want to save your strength?"
"Something came over, it seemed to be food. Anton's voice was excited.
The jingle of local sounds came from a distance, and Xinghe poked his head out as far as he could, and he saw Lloyd, dressed like a chef, pushing a small cart from a distance, and as he approached, Xinghe smelled a fragrance.
It was the smell of food, and the smell was like a hand gently touching Xinghe's taste buds, so he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and at the same time his stomach screamed in anger.
No one in the cell laughed at him, everyone was hungry, and many of them stood on the edge of the railing like him, looking out and drooling at the food truck pushed by Lloyd.
It looked like they were about to start eating, but Xinghe thought things were a little weird, because Lloyd pushed the contents of the food cart that seemed to be a little too rich, neatly stacked white bread, steaming duck, fish fillets on plates, washed blueberries, and even a bottle of red wine tied with red strings tied to it.
Xinghe swallowed a mouthful of saliva to deal with the stomach acid churning in his stomach, but to little avail, and during this time the stomach had been twisted into a ball to protest to him, he seemed to see the delicious food beckoning to him, but he was also sure that Lloyd must have come with some kind of conspiracy.
Lloyd stopped suddenly, and tore a fragrant duck leg from the roast duck, as if to show the hungry children, and reached out to the edge of the railing where they were within reach, and walked down the aisle from cell to cell, many people reached out to reach the duck leg, but none of them succeeded, even if the duck leg seemed so close, Xinghe could clearly see the muscle fibers.
Lloyd walked around the cell and put the duck leg back on the plate, seemingly pleased with the children's reaction.
"You're all growing up, so nutrition must keep up, and these foods are prepared for you. Lloyd's voice was loud, and Galaxy must have heard him as everyone heard him, as he heard the sound of swallowing saliva one after another.
"What did you add to that?" Xinghe asked, not believing that things were as simple as Lloyd had said.
"What's in it?" Lloyd looked at Xinghe, "What do you think I added to it, poison (river crab) medicine?" he took a blueberry from his plate and put it in his mouth, and then said to Xinghe, "There is nothing in these foods, you can eat them with confidence." Then he raised his head, looked around all the cells, and raised his voice, "There are fifty servings of food in this dining car, as you can see, they are fine enough to only appear at banquets, and there are two boxes of black bread at the end of the hallway, although it does not taste good, but it is enough to fill your stomachs, but the black bread is only two hundred servings." β
Lloyd's words were gone, but what he meant was enough for Galaxy to understand, 50 people could eat the food in the food truck, 200 people could eat the black bread at the end of the corridor, and the remaining 250 people would be hungry, and Galaxy believed that many people like him would understand.
There was just one more thing he didn't understand, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lloyd looked at him, "You seem to have a lot to say, I think I need to state the rules here, first, here, my words are the iron law, you do whatever I say, and second, here, whoever has the biggest fist will say." β
"Then if I win you, then I'm the one who has the final say?" Xinghe asked.
"Third, don't interrupt me while I'm talking. As soon as Lloyd's words fell, a stone hit Xinghe's knee, and he fell to the ground in pain, while Lloyd quietly lowered his right hand, "Also, I answer your question, yes, if any of you hit me, this is the place where he can do it, if any of you can do it." β
Lloyd deliberately glanced at Xinghe when he said this, and although Xinghe hated it with hatred, he wisely hugged his knees and chose to shut up.
"Very well, I think you all know my rules, so now let's get down to business. Lloyd walked into the darkness at the end of the aisle, and after a while he returned with another cart, which had no food on them, only two barrels, one of which contained a few rolls of parchment, and the other with some metalwork, which Lloyd pushed through each cell and threw a copy of its contents into.
The two things were a dagger and a drawing, and the dagger looked weighty, and undoubtedly sharp, because Xinghe saw a boy in the cell opposite him who had just tried his hand on the blade and had his hand slashed.
And on that drawing was an anatomical diagram, clearly indicating where the vital organs of each race were, looking at the sharp dagger and the various organs marked in red on the drawing, Xinghe had a bad feeling.
After handing out everything, Lloyd walked back to the middle of the aisle, "I've always believed that everyone has a strong ability to learn on their own, and a meaningful game is the best way to learn, so I want to play a game with you." β
"All of you should not have excreted in the past two days, thanks to the effect of the Qiu Gu potion, it can suspend your excretion activities for a period of time, the ancient earth dead used this magic potion to hide something in their own bodies, its main ingredient is the Qiu Gu flower, the auxiliary material is human face grass, I will teach you the specific production method later, today you need to know that all of you have a key in their stomachs that can be used to open the door to your cell, and your daggers and drawings can teach you how to get the key from other people's stomachsγ Lloyd rubbed his hands, "Well, let's start the game, oh, yes, for your own good, I want to remind you that you've been hungry for two days, and if you're going to wait until the potions have worn off, and then find the key from your dung, think about whether you still have the strength to grab food from someone else, and good luck with it, these things don't taste good when they're cold." Lloyd smiled, put his hands behind his back, hummed a ditty, and left.
