Chapter 11: Jinghui's News (First Update) Newcomer seeking red tickets and collections

  Knock... knock...

  In the spacious administrative hall, the crowd who had been hungry for two or three days looked at Liang Jing taking out all kinds of food from his backpack, constantly swallowing their saliva.

  The green packaged 09 compressed dry food, Jinhua sausage, Dove chocolate, and pickled chicken feet are all delicious and appetizing, with each item having only two or three packets but sufficient energy.

  For a moment, those who didn't join in earlier regretted it extremely, now wanting others to get them food? However, not affecting their expectant gaze at this side.

  Liáng Jìng pretended not to see, and handed the purified water next to him to Zhāng Hǔ Kě. Earlier, there were disposable cups beside the stainless steel water dispenser that suited them for drinking water.

  "Boss, shouldn't we give them some too?" Several people looked on with expectant and fervent eyes, but Zhang Hu couldn't bear it.

  "Pure water is fine, forget about food." Liang Jing glanced at Liu Zhi Xiong and Ling Qing He who were expressionless beside her. This was right, nowadays food was precious, but it would definitely become even more precious later on. After all, most of these things couldn't be reproduced now, without a stable base, who had the leisure to produce?

  Just then, a commotion of shouting and scolding came from outside, slowly getting closer to the administrative building, and in no time, figures were flashing at the gate.

  "Brother Wang, the door is locked from inside, there must be someone in there." A voice came from outside the door.

  "There's no one inside, let us in and we'll just rest for a bit and have something to eat before leaving, it won't affect anyone." A thick voice came from outside the door.

  Everyone in the hall didn't have any opinions, and was about to go open the door. However, they still reflexively looked at Liang Jing, seemingly respecting his opinion more. Liang Jing naturally also didn't have any opinions, nodding in agreement. In this kind of world, who knows how many humans had been killed by mutated monsters? As long as it didn't affect him and he wasn't bothered, he didn't care about anything else that was within his power to ignore.

  With Liang Jing's nod, the short bespectacled middle-aged man who came out of the bathroom hurried over to open the door.

  "Creak..."

  The gate opened, and 9 people walked in from outside, 7 men and 2 women, carrying bags and holding various weapons and tools, including fishing nets, a wooden lid with a diameter of over 1 meter, kitchen knives, and steel pipes. The leader was a man who looked even more robust than Liang Jing, standing at over 185 cm tall, with a 4-cm long scar on his cheek, and limbs that were thick and sturdy. He held a large knife with an ancient style, its blade evenly sharp, looking like it had been used for many years, weighing no less than 20 kg or more, who knows where he got it from. Next to him was a young man in his early 20s, holding a long spear made from steel rebars from a construction site, with a diameter of about 3 cm, its tip sharpened to be extremely sharp, not light in weight, and would likely be effective against large monsters.

  It seems that the "equipment" is quite complete, and it's more than enough to deal with ordinary monsters.

  Just as Liang Jing was sizing them up, the other party was also sizing up the people in the house. After all, this environment was too casual and relaxed, which was a death wish. Seeing the food on Liang Jing's desk, his eyes lit up, obviously very interested. However, the burly man with the big knife had also noticed the motionless mutated black-backed dog zombie next to him and didn't dare make any sudden moves.

  "Hello, I'm an employee of this factory. Is there anything I can help you with? I'm very familiar with this factory." Just as everyone was sizing each other up, the short-eyed man who had just opened the door began to speak, looking at the burly man holding a large knife with a hint of flattery.

  "Do you have food here?" asked a burly man with a knife, looking at the short figure in front of him.

  "This, this doesn't seem to be it. The factory doesn't have a cafeteria, they all call for takeout." The short bespectacled man was a bit confused, if there's food why would he need you guys to come and get it? He himself is so hungry that he can only drink water to stave off his hunger. Looking at the several people carrying bags, he swallowed hard, wondering what delicious things they had, with this many people it should be better than Liang Jing's place.

  "It doesn't matter, Ah Yao, let's find a place to rest and have lunch. We're almost at the supermarket." The stout man seemed somewhat disappointed, looking at several pale-faced men on one side, then at Liang Jing and others on the other side, finally nodding at Liang Jing as if greeting him before closing the door. Under his signal, the others also began to tidy up at a desk on the other side of the office.

  Liang Jing also nodded slightly, every move of the other party was under his surveillance, vigilance was necessary.

  "Brother Wang, there's food over there, looks pretty good, just looking at it makes me drool. These two days I've only been eating plain rice and my mouth is so bland." The young man holding the steel-reinforced spear, Yao, was clearly still fixated on the food on Liang Jing's office desk.

  They are just migrant workers, brought together by various coincidences. None of them have stored grain at home, and now they are eating plain rice and a little salted vegetables, which will soon be finished.

  "Never mind, that brown-skinned guy is not easy to mess with. Didn't you see the motionless monster next to him? Why didn't it attack them? It's simply following orders, just like that ice arrow shooter we saw by the river yesterday." The stout man let out a sigh, this world had changed a lot from before. He thought he could make a name for himself with his own strength, but yesterday's carelessness almost cost him his life. "Alright, don't think about it too much. Up ahead is the supermarket, we'll get whatever we want and eat our fill. Back when I was working, I couldn't bear to spend money on food or shopping, but this time I'll treat you guys to a feast."

  It seems that the "person" they met by the river yesterday, called A Yao, suddenly showed a terrified look in his eyes. If they hadn't escaped quickly, perhaps all 9 of them would have been killed by that person. To think that there were originally 15 people, but not long after, 6 of them were killed by that person. Filled with terror, he glanced at Liang Jing and the "monster" beside him, no longer speaking.

  Although the other party spoke in a very small voice, Liang Jing's physical quality was comprehensively improved, and his five senses, including eyesight and hearing, were greatly enhanced. He could naturally hear the other party's words clearly and knew that they had no enemies and did not plan to find trouble with others. However, when he heard the other party mention that they met someone who could shoot ice arrows by the river yesterday, it seemed like another Awakened person, with ice abilities. Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind - Jing Hui! It seemed as if there was a feeling that Jing Hui wasn't dead, and even the person shooting ice arrows might be Jing Hui. However, this matter was a bit mysterious, and Liang Jing didn't dare to believe it.

  Liang Jing shook her head, not wanting to think about it anymore. After being ambushed by Hei Yiwu once, she seemed to have become more sensitive. "Hei Yiwu, you'd better show up soon and let me kill you. Otherwise, I'll be uneasy and uncomfortable, my nerves are all on edge."

  Nine robust men were eating leftover rice and a plate of pickled vegetables on the office desk, wolfing them down. Liang Jing gestured to Zhang Hu and Ling Qinghe to start eating, while several short-sighted men with glasses nearby kept glancing around nervously.

  They've been starving for so long that they're about to go crazy. The taste of hunger is unbearable, and it's impossible to understand unless you've experienced it yourself. Especially when others are eating in front of you, even if it's just leftovers! But all you can do is keep drinking water, it's enough to drive you mad.

  But they didn't dare to make a move, let alone Liang Jing. The "monster" standing next to him was not someone they dared to mess with. On the other side, there were 9 people, fully equipped and gleaming with cold light, which was intimidating just to look at.
