Chapter 2721 Li Cang: What city?

"Candy! Daddy! There really is candy! My hands are so sweet!" Huang Nuonuo held up a handful of yellowish, dirty stuff, her eyes shining: "Daddy, eat candy! Bear, eat candy!"

In this climate and social environment, sugar has become an extremely precious life-saving medicine, almost like a small bottle of syrup, and it also has the additional placebo effect of a sweet therapy.

"Nono, you eat."

Golden Ning, whose body was trembling so badly it was impossible to tell whether it was his body or his courage, went over and picked up a cloth bag next to the bear warrior. He opened it and found a package of grayish-black jerky wrapped in paper.

Huang Nuonuo asked, "What is this?"

"Beef!" Huang Jinning placed the dried meat in front of his daughter: "Beef jerky cured with sugar and salt!"

"beef??"

"beef!"

"Ugh, so hard, so smelly, it doesn't taste good!" Huang Nuonuo excitedly snatched the beef jerky from her mouth and put it to the bear warrior's mouth: "Bear, eat!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Huang Ning opened his mouth, then froze, unsure of what to say. Tears streamed down his face. Yes, Huang Nuonuo had only ever eaten food from this icy sea since birth, and she could no longer stomach the taste of beef.

Perhaps feeling the same way, the bear warrior chewed twice and then vomited up the jerky along with the undigested food in his stomach. He then fell to the ground with a thud, excreting feces and urine.

Huang Nuonuo was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed towards Huang Jinning screaming, "It's poisonous, Dad, it's poisonous!"

"Silly child," Huang Jinning held Nuonuo in his arms, silently facing the towering city gate, "It...it's afraid."

Bear Warrior nudged his nose under Huang Jinning's arm, and the three of them were all together.

The vast city, nestled on an island, was deathly silent. There were no shouts or roars of beasts or humans, no gunfire or explosions, no earth-shaking tremors or surging waves. This once bustling and prosperous city, which he could see from afar, now exuded only coldness, making him feel no trace of life.

Suddenly, Li Cang stretched out from inside the city gate, tossed a man toward Huang Jinning, and pointed at him, saying, "Give him to him."

The thinly dressed but wealthy-looking man shivered in the cold wind, his face flushed: "So you'll let me go... give... I'll give."

The wishing interface suddenly popped up on its own. Huang Jinning nearly fainted at the long string of numbers indicating currency changes, and involuntarily started counting: "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of millions."

Huang Jinning saw a grotesque, blood-red skeletal structure float out of the city gate, circling Li Cang and wagging its tail. The wealthy figure continued to hunch over until it was just a fist-sized lump. Huang Jinning's throat made the same "ah ah" sounds as that person, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

“Everyone who sees it gets a share, but you’re not even a subordinate. You can save it up for this bear’s dowry.” Li Cang pointed at Huang Nuonuo: “Let’s go.”

Huang Nuonuo blinked her eyes in confusion, and upon hearing the words "dowry," she belatedly realized she was a little scared. Her small body gradually moved behind Huang Jinning: "Where are we going?"

Li Cang gritted his teeth: "Go wherever you want, I'll list it on Zhuanzhuan and sell it secondhand!"

Huang Jinning trembled violently, almost blurting out words like "Shuisheng kowtows to the master": "Yes, yes, hurry... hurry up and thank Teacher Cang."

Li Cang squinted at the direction he came from, and handed Huang Nuonuo an inconspicuous little bone flute-like trinket: "It's almost done over there, you guys go in too."

Looking at the bustling city before him, a city he had never entered before, Huang Jinning finally couldn't help but ask, "Then this city..."

Li Cang tossed out a link from the same source, preparing to shoo the person away: "What city?"

Huang Jinning froze, then was forced to kick into the void. He seemed to feel a slight sense of grounding for a moment, before another violent spinning sensation ensued.

boom.

With a muffled thud, Huang Jinning, carrying Nuonuo, landed in the crowd.

Looking around, all that could be seen were old comrades struggling to survive, huddled together in a clean, bright, and warm hall. Hundreds and thousands of people, yet not one dared to utter the slightest sound.

"This is the 3rd/7th base of the flower planting sequence. Please follow the signs on the ground and buildings to evacuate the transmission area in an orderly manner. The transmission area is dangerous and may cause secondary injuries. Please do not make noise or push."

"Repeat, this is..."

"..." Huang Jinning hugged Nuonuo tightly, hiding her inside his clothes to cover her. After a brief hesitation, he mechanically moved out with the flow of people. Suddenly, a familiar color of fabric stopped him. There were two gold threads and a cufflink on the cuff. The person seemed to hesitate as well, looking Huang Jinning up and down: "Are you little Huang Nuonuo?"

Nono's head popped out from under the animal skin coat at the back of her father's neck: "Nono, it's me, Nono!"

"Wow! The child is so cute!"

"Wow~"

"Teacher Cang gave the instructions, come with us quickly!"

Several beautiful, clean, and fragrant older girls dressed almost identically immediately surrounded her. Huang Nuonuo felt that she had never seen such clean people before, and subconsciously felt a strange sense of intimacy, even a little like crying. She rubbed her dirty little face against their hands: "Sisters, you are all so beautiful, and you smell as good as my mom!"

One of them scrutinized Huang Jinning and said seriously, "Hmm, he should look quite young if he shaves his beard, so it's not impossible!"

"Oh, Sister Hu, I think you shouldn't have the surname Hu. You should have been surnamed Hu. You're really desperate!"

"Sister Ying hasn't even discussed it yet, so why don't you two compete for the job? Buy one get one free!"

"That won't do! I... I won't marry anyone but Teacher Cang!"

"啕~"

"嘁~"

Huang Jinning moved his throat dryly, but there was no saliva left in his mouth to swallow. He struggled to think, and subconsciously blurted out, "General, is this really our flower-growing base?"

In a flash, the space in front of Huang Jinning was completely empty.

The once enthusiastic older sisters now radiated outwards, maintaining a distance of more than five meters from Huang Jinning in all directions, their faces displaying a strange expression.

"Sir, they're calling you. Go now."

“I’m not going. I’ve lost control of my facial expressions. I’m afraid I’ll scare him so much that he’ll kneel down again, and that would be the end of my life.”

"Sister Hu, what should we do?"

At this moment, Nono suddenly spoke up: "Dad, you're wrong, they are clearly the older sisters!"

"Oh dear, this child."

"My girlish heart is melting!"

"Nono, you're such a good girl! Say it again, and I'll give you some chocolate, it's really sweet!"

Nono swallowed hard when she heard "sweet," then suddenly remembered something and pulled out a few yellow, dirty candies from her pocket: "What's chocolate? I'll trade with you. This candy is so sweet!"

No matter how sweet the sugar is.
Even that might not be as sweet as Nono's.

A flurry of excited cries for his darling daughter startled Huang Jinning, who, still half-asleep, somehow found Nuonuo vanished from his back. When he came to his senses, she was already dressed in a beautiful princess dress: "I..."

"Shh!"

"Watch your mouth!"

"Please!"

A large, dark piece of chocolate was forcefully shoved into his mouth. Faced with the sharp, warning gazes around him, Master Huang had no choice but to obediently beat up their chocolate.

"Pfft!"

A giant bear crashed heavily into the center of the transmission channel.
