Chapter 45 Starvation

Damian walked out of the castle in a daze. After inquiring, he found his family and students who had traveled with him in a temporary residence next to the Trailblazer camp.

The group hugged each other, crying for the luck of surviving the disaster.

But Damian's tears carried something deeper, something he had always insisted on, something he had desperately fought for, shattering in his heart.

After a round of weeping and exchanging pleasantries, they began to communicate with each other.

They didn't know where they were, so they began to ask Damian.

"I don't know which country this belongs to... I just saw a Yan Huang man, he should be the leader here." Damian stroked his wife's hand and comforted, "Anyway, we're safe for now."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of being trapped in the dark and humid basement before, and having to endure the attacks of mutated beasts from time to time, they felt like they were in another world when they saw the bright, clean beds and walls.

"How will he treat us? Will he send us back to the EU?" At this time, the silent white man asked. He was the one who had shot the Trailblazer warrior, Damian's only remaining student: "Or will he just execute us here?"

Damian shook his head: "I don't know."

Everyone fell silent again.

"Teacher, that information..." the white man suddenly asked.

"..." Damian felt very guilty, covered his face and said, "They took it."

This information was the hard work of their entire research room. Many people died on the way for this information, but now it was taken away by others. Damian felt like he had messed everything up.

But unexpectedly, the student was not angry, and his emotions were not agitated. Instead, he said calmly: "It's okay if they take it... it's enough as long as we are still alive."

After experiencing the life and death line in the ruined city, witnessing his relatives and classmates dying beside him, the white man had been defeated.

Compared with life and death, what else matters?

After surviving, everyone began to worry about their future. They lost the information. If Li Tianran really sent them back to the EU, then what awaited them would be the trial of the Congress, which would undoubtedly be the same as killing them directly.

But if they continued to stay here... they didn't know Li Tianran's attitude towards them.

"Will they keep us here to work?" the student asked, looking up.

"I don't like this Yan Huang man. He is ambitious and will definitely create huge killings and chaos in the future. I don't want to stay here." Damian was silent for a moment, and said, "Even if he asks me, I won't work for him!"

Everyone didn't speak, but everyone knew that in the current situation, if they left here, what awaited them would be death.

"You said at the beginning that you didn't like the way the Seven Corners Continent officials did things, so we all accompanied you to leave. Even if someone died on the way, no one blamed you..." At this moment, Damian's wife said, her voice was not sharp, but it directly poked Damian's heart: "Now you say you don't like..."

Damian was stunned.

His wife grabbed his hand, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice trembled: "You always have to consider these people who follow you, don't you?"

Damian looked at the longing expressions on everyone's faces, his Adam's apple wriggling up and down, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

…

Night was gradually falling.

Damian and others found that Li Tianran seemed to have really forgotten them. He hadn't shown up all day, and he didn't even give an order against them. They all sat in the room, staring at each other for a day.

At the persuasion of his wife, Damian, even if he was unwilling, acquiesced. For these followers, he was willing to work for Li Tianran.

He had even prepared how to bargain with the other party when Li Tianran came to talk to him about this matter, so as to win the maximum benefit for himself.

He believed that he could definitely be fatally attractive to Li Tianran, and the head of any force would not easily let go of a talent like himself!

But twelve hours had passed since Li Tianran's previous conversation with him, and Li Tianran still hadn't appeared.

Not only Li Tianran didn't appear, but even other people, including the Trailblazer soldiers, hadn't appeared.

This also meant that for a whole day, no one had sent them any food or supplies.

"Gulu..."

Many people were already very hungry in the basement of the ruined city, and at this time they were even more dizzy with hunger. Their stomachs were constantly wriggling, making bursts of noises.

Damian sat on the sofa, watching everyone around him looking at him expectantly. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute, I'll go find him!"

Pa ta!

The door of the temporary residence was closed.

Damian walked out, and under the guidance of the Trailblazer warrior, he came to the castle.

As soon as he walked into the castle, he saw Li Tianran and others having dinner.

The golden roast leg of lamb was hanging on the grill, sizzling with oil. The marbled beef slices were rolling in the boiling mushroom soup pot. The large pieces of braised ribs were soft and loose. With the blessing of balsamic vinegar and cooking wine, the aroma kept drilling into Damian's nostrils.

Although the food in front of him was not expensive, and its price and rarity could not be compared with luxury goods such as caviar and black truffles, its visual impact and the attraction to the stomachs of those who were excessively hungry were absolutely top-notch!

Damian looked at the delicacies on the table, his eyes almost popped out.

Li Tianran turned his head and glanced at Damian, his expression deliberately pretending to be a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Damian licked his lips. He forcibly moved his gaze away from the dining table, not letting Li Tianran see his desire and embarrassment for food.

"Regarding my design plan, there are some details that I need to remind you..." Damian thought that Li Tianran had forgotten to settle his group, so he deliberately appeared in front of Li Tianran to try to remind him. Facing Li Tianran's inquiry, he casually made up a lie.

He still wanted Li Tianran to take the initiative to hire him and give him the corresponding treatment, so that he could get the maximum benefit.

If he took the initiative to bring it up, not only would he lose the initiative, but it would also be a bit like... begging for food.

"Oh, that's it! Then sit down first, and we'll talk later." Li Tianran waved his hand, tore off a piece of lamb and chewed it in his mouth: "I have a habit of not talking about work during meals."

Damian sat helplessly on the sofa. He felt more tormented than before in the temporary residence. Those aromas kept drilling into his nostrils. He felt his stomach contracting violently, making him feel very tortured.

He closed his eyes, trying to relieve it in this way.

"Come, come, let's have some lobster!"

"I'll eat beef slices..."

"Cut me some lamb!"

At the dining table, the atmosphere was warm, and everyone was feasting.

Damian sat alone on the sofa, feeling like he was going crazy. His mouth was frantically secreting saliva, and hunger surged like a tsunami.

"Boss, you're really bad!" Qin Yiming secretly gave Li Tianran a thumbs up: "This kind of torture is too cruel!"

Li Tianran glanced at Damian out of the corner of his eye, chuckled and whispered: "This old boy is quite resistant, I'll see how long he can resist..."
