Chapter 2470 Three-line staring food
As the saying goes, self-production and self-consumption can compensate for each other's shortcomings. The Third World Line can completely ensure that everything that needs to be digested is digested before the subordinates spit it out, thus resolving the dilemma of having nothing left to spit out.

Although we didn't get to eat fresh, hot infected food, a small dose of local specialties was still a must. We also got to witness the rare spectacle of powerful Snow Dragon City followers digging rabbit holes and chasing mice everywhere – it was quite a sight.

but
The local people in the third-tier cities do indeed have a little bit of hunger-suppressing effect.

However, while it may satisfy hunger, not everyone has the abstract dietary therapy concepts and digestive systems of Li Cang and Lao Wang. If the quality of the ingredients is not high enough, no amount of rabbits and mice will be enough for them. Once the quality of the ingredients is raised, there are many things to consider, and the short-term and long-term side effects will usually be directly reflected in the blood.

Li Cang and Lao Wang were like two Gargamel wielding soup ladles, whispering and winking at a large soup pot: "Bring out your 'cannibal's ancestral round-bottomed soup pot,' quick! Card-type cookware, convenient, affordable, and just right for the occasion!"

"You really think they're hard to kill, don't you?"

"Whether it's a buff or not doesn't matter, what I'm really curious about is what the female ogre looks like!"

"Look in the mirror." Li Cang banged the pot loudly with a large soup ladle: "Dinner's ready! Bring your bowls and chopsticks. This is the Three-Line Complete Nutrition Express. The baby food stage is over."

"What photo? Li Cangwo, you're such a jerk!"

Local giant rats, long-legged rabbits, mutated pikas, unknown plant tubers, half a piece of naturally dried wolf meat found by chance, several kinds of naturally dried unknown animal bones, a three-lined giant that appears to be slightly non-toxic after artificial quality inspection, a bunch of small potatoes and mushrooms from the Sky Island Cloud Top Cave.
All these factors, and many others, together form the main theme of this significant meal. To be honest, Li Cang is a master of color, aroma, and taste when it comes to this stew. If you completely disregard the questionable and demanding origins of the various ingredients, this should be considered a good dish.

Li Leisi picked up the bowl and let out a long sigh: "This is stewed wild mushrooms and vegetables. This is stewed wild mushrooms and vegetables. This is stewed wild mushrooms and vegetables."

As soon as he felt a weight in his hand, he heard Li Cang muttering to himself, "Oh right, we should pick some wild vegetables, but testing them for poison is more troublesome than testing meat and vegetables!"

"Shut up!"

Several Snow Dragon City servants, still recovering from their internal digestion, sat in a row atop the carapace of the anti-mega-beast, feeling their souls drift away like the surrounding scenery. They glanced at the bowls they held, made from various parts of strange beasts' skeletons, and then at their contents—

"I swear, this is the best stew I've smelled all year, and the only time in five years I haven't been able to eat anything!"

"It feels like my soul and my body are fighting."

"It's alright, your soul will kill your body in a little while, then you can eat it in no time."

"To still manage to provide hot and steaming meals every day under these circumstances, truly lives up to its reputation!"

Big G, holding her skull bowl, which was the size of three basketballs and had a gardenia mark carved on it, gritted her teeth and, having accidentally made the container too big, tried to get as far away from Old Wang's buttocks as he sat on the Exploding Monster's rear end, scooping out a wooden spoonful of soup.

Ok?
Not sure? Let me try again!
The meat was smooth on the palate, a wild, indescribable heat that traveled down the throat and resonated in the duodenum. The herbal aroma was highbrow and sophisticated, like a mountain stream. Big G swallowed a large, melt-in-your-mouth piece of meat, drooling as she greedily stole a glance at the figure—

"Click!"

Facing Li Leisi and Tai Xiaoyi's Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger and meaningful smile, Big G Sister blushed deeply and almost dropped the weapon in her hand.

"Give me the money!" Li Leisi stretched out her hand: "What did I say? If she didn't look after Li Cang, I'd twist my head off and give it to you!"

Old Wang downed the soup in his bowl in one gulp, tore half of the flatbread hanging around his neck, and counted the golden melon seeds with a ferocious expression: "Damn it, this is utterly absurd."

"It seems..." Tai Xiaoyi hesitated, "Is it really better than the food we brought? And it tastes pretty good too."

"This pot of spiced bone broth is so delicious, even shoe insoles would smell amazing!" Old Wang chuckled. "Why don't you ask Li Leisi, young lady, what did the roasted rat, stewed rabbit, roasted wolf meat, and stewed raccoon meat she ate taste like during that time?"

"If you can't close your mouth properly, should I sew it up for you with my insoles?" Li Leisi raised an eyebrow dangerously: "You haven't experienced the deep malice that other timelines have inflicted on you yet, have you?"

"I am favored by Heaven and Earth, a chosen one of this world, blessed with destiny—"

"Get out of here, motherfucker!"

"okay!"

Li Cang brought over the bowl: "How is it? The taste is alright?"

"Great! Absolutely fantastic!" Li Lei clicked her tongue. "Big G's eyes are practically glued to Chef Li!"

"Slurp~" Li Cang downed half a bowl of soup and meat in one gulp, then casually tossed something out: "Here, let me show you something interesting!"

A dozen or so crystals, resembling the colorful glass beads we played with as children, spun around in the hollow of the behemoth's carapace. As they gradually quieted down, they defied gravity and began to move erratically back and forth in a predetermined area amidst the uneven grooves and ridges, like a somewhat imprecise pointer.

Old Wang raised an eyebrow: "This is..."

"These are considered secondary infection cores of the infector, and only a few remain in total." Li Cang got up and ladled out another bowl of meat soup. "Doesn't this look like I'm pointing out directions?"

"Interesting, are these infectors also heading in this direction?"

"Ah."

Old Wang looked up and said, "We've taken a lot of unnecessary detours, this is a 60 or 70-degree turn! What do you think this is?"

Li Cang thought for a moment and said, "I think this is a settlement of trapped subordinates. In the case of the third line, there will be no violent conflict unless necessary. Since these infected creatures chose to attack us, it can be basically concluded that their prey is actually the subordinates."

"agree."

"Then walk?"

"go!"

Rescuing the unfortunate followers trapped in the Third World Line—a side quest that would overshadow the master's achievements—was definitely not in His Highness the Magician's plans. On the contrary, he was quite interested in the crudely made floating platforms in the hands of the followers and the native mutant life forms that had been initially tamed. Whether he could catch Brother Bull and Hooded Girl on a trip to the Third World Line was still unknown, but he was determined to take away as many local specialties as possible.

Sister G asked in confusion, "Why did you turn?"

Old Wang smiled slightly: "It seems you can't go back. I'll find you a place to settle down and make a living!"

"???"

Following Old Wang, they endured three days of hunger and frequent beatings with small steel rods. When a sizable city of trapped followers appeared before the followers of Snow Dragon City, even those who were somewhat prepared were still shocked. Big G exclaimed, speechless, "There's actually a settlement here?"

"Where do you think all the settlements that were destroyed by the migration storm went?" Old Wang said, "Surely not every single one of them was wiped out."

"That's not what I meant. It's just that this is... too... too... too..."

"Go ahead and live! Next time you come back, you'll have plenty to brag about!"

These are three geological fragments independent of the landmass, connected to each other and to the surrounding landmasses by suspension bridges and cableways. The skeletons of various huge and ferocious beasts form the basis of this three-dimensional city. The city is brightly lit inside, and refugee camps are located outside.

It was a kind of despair and wretchedness that could be seen with the naked eye. Being poorly clothed and starving was not even an adequate description of its tragic state. After all, in the blink of an eye, Old Wang had already seen at least three groups of followers surrounding a servant of fate, carving out its flesh and bones.

"Idiots!" Old Wang commented. "No wonder foreigners have been making those post-apocalyptic movies for years and are still scavenging for supplies. Do you think those supermarkets and factories can clean their own bags? Let me tell you, the only contribution these bastards can make to the world is to be buried in this fertile land after they die!"

Big G and the others were drenched in sweat: "."

I was hit hard, but it seemed like I couldn't refute it.

A rough count suggests that there are at least tens of thousands of refugees gathered on the land outside the city. They stared numbly as Lord Demon Mountain dragged the armor of the Explosive Rebel Beast past them, their eyes filled with nothing but hunger and greed, devoid of any real desire to live.

The Explosive Behemoth came to a sudden stop in front of the void between the landmass and the city. Refugees gathered in droves, begging for alms and trying to climb onto the Explosive Behemoth.

"What should we do?" Big G and the others looked somewhat nervous. "Should we..."

"Why bother with them?" Old Wang glanced over, then pointed with a smile: "You, and you, both of you come here!"

Randomly select lucky viewers to kill without burying them; today is another day full of merit. I, Wang, am worthy of the title of Living Bodhisattva of the Track Line.

A mother and daughter were pulled out of the crowd by San Gouzi.

This time, the young lady didn't roll her eyes at Old Wang, but she didn't say anything else either. She had long understood that there were no people who could be saved. She simply handed a newly sewn animal skin cloak to the trembling, bewildered little girl with big eyes: "Call her Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

"Hmm? You understand Chinese?"

"Yes! My mom taught me!"

The mother, who looked like she didn't have much time left but had protected the little girl very well, pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, all she could do was kneel down and crawl forward.

Tai Xiaoyi quickly helped her up: "No need for that, no need for that!"

Li Leisi pulled out a very meaningful packet of Spicy Musk Beef Jerky: "Call me sister, this is delicious, it will keep you warm!"

"elder sister!"

Tai Xiaoyi stumbled: "Leilei??"

"Hehe." Li Leisi was extremely smug. She tore open the multiple layers of kraft paper packaging and poured the beef jerky slices, which had a yellowish-brown, rough-edged texture, into the little girl's hand: "Tell your sister, what's your name!"

Old Wang gave a friendly reminder: "Hey, if they ask your name, then you're a full-fledged extra, and you'll get caught up in the karma!"

Li Leisi asked with a smile, "What's it to you? Tell me, what's your name?"

The little girl was quick-witted and seemed to realize something: "My name is Yulia. My mom's name is Anastasia! Mom is a good person, she just can't talk anymore, her throat is broken! Hiss."

Yulia glanced at Li Leisi, then at the jerky in her hand, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two. Her innocent eyes seemed to be witnessing true evil for the first time in this depraved world.

"Hahaha! Are you still cold?"

"No, it's not cold, Mom, you eat! Sister, you eat!"

"Mom, eat! Sister, don't eat!"

"."

Within minutes, there was movement in the city. Without any questions or anything, the suspension bridge was opened and people were allowed to pass.

As Lord Demon Mountain set off, those clinging to the back armor of the Explosive Beast fell off one after another. When the whole group entered the rope bridge, a force field wave swept over and swept the refugees into the abyss.

Big G was quick-witted and grabbed three people at once. Richard hesitated for a moment and was a little slow to react, only managing to pull up one person. As for the other Snow Dragon City followers, they simply closed their eyes and didn't dare to move at all. However, this was understandable. They themselves had to live by the grace of others, so how could they have the right to help others?

Old Wang clicked his tongue, then turned his face and started talking at Zero Frame: "Fuck your mother, I'll gouge your eyes out! Didn't you see I've been standing here for so long before you opened the door? You'd better give those sons of bitches a good cleaning, you hear me? Make sure those bastards crawl all over your mother's feet with muddy paw prints!"

His shout was so loud you could hear a pin drop.

Big G and Richard stared at Old Wang in astonishment, while the group of people on the opposite cable bridge even paused noticeably in their movements.

but
"Oh dear, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I was just being foolish!" A weasel-faced fellow suddenly jumped out, bowing and scraping. Judging from his clothes and equipment, he was clearly of higher status than the laborers on the cable-stayed bridge. "You've worked hard, please forgive me. You know how noisy those useless guys outside are. In this freezing weather, I got greedy and had a few too many drinks. Oh, thank you for your reward! This wine is still fresh! Could it be that you gentlemen just came out of the warp storm node?"

Old Wang, hands behind his back, exuded an air of pure, unadulterated arrogance, a natural fit for his role: "What's the explanation for someone who just came out? And what's the explanation for an older person?"

"No explanation, no explanation!" A hint of fear flashed across the man's face. Well, he had really run into a wild father who could ignore the real injuries from the warp storm and kick and shove with ease. "I was just asking casually, please don't mind. Thank you for the wine, I dare not presume to offer. If you don't mind, after we enter the city, I would like to host a banquet for you at the Golden Pool Tavern to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

"What's with that accent in your Mandarin? Where did you learn it?"

"Well... there's a storyteller in our town, and I'd go listen to him when I had nothing else to do. But after listening, I ended up learning a completely different, incoherent mess."

"Damn, what a talent!"
