"Okay, classmate... Please be careful..." Tang Wanyue looked guiltily at the young man walking out the door. She still didn't know his name.

As Tang Cheng walked out of the room, the people inside immediately rushed to the food and water that Zhang Pi and Li Dan had occupied. Since the food had been taken by those two young men, they had been starving.

The remaining food was just some dry noodles and a few canned fruits. This place used to be a steak restaurant, and there were still some steak and fresh fruits in the freezer, but they had been eaten days ago.

Soon, the food on the table was completely snatched up. Liu Hong, a woman, tightly hugged a pile of dry noodles in her arms, crouching in the corner. She didn't even have time to cook them before she started eating them. She looked so guarded that if anyone dared to snatch her noodles, she might even bite them!

The female veterinarian, Wu Mei, drank water heavily, leaning weakly against the wall. She also snatched a bunch of food, holding it beside her, unwilling to share with anyone.

"Water, I need water..." the injured middle-aged man with glasses lay on the ground, his mouth open and thirsty, but no one paid any attention to him.

Tang Wanyue hurriedly ran over to help the man with glasses who was lying on the ground. "Uncle, I will get you some water right away. Don't move, or your wound will split open."

Then Tang Wanyue came to the messy table and poured a cup of water with the plastic cup. The food on the table had been snatched up, nothing was left.

"Uncle, drink some water, slowly," Tang Wanyue gently held the cup of water to the mouth of the man with glasses.

The man with glasses immediately gulped it down. It seemed that he was really thirsty. After drinking the water, he weakly said to Tang Wanyue, "Um... I'm a bit hungry..."

Since he had been unconscious until now, the man with glasses hadn't eaten anything, and had only been given some glucose liquid by Tang Cheng from the fifth floor.

"You're hungry..." Tang Wanyue was a bit helpless now because all the food had been snatched up by the people inside, and there was nothing she could give to the man beside her.

In fact, she herself hadn't eaten much these past few days and her body was starving.

"Which one of you..." Tang Wanyue's gaze turned to the female veterinarian and her group by the wall, hoping that they would share some food.

However, they all immediately turned their faces coldly, covering the food and not willing to give any to others. After what happened before, they knew very well what the remaining food meant.

"You guys..." Tang Wanyue looked at those people helplessly. At this moment, her stomach couldn't help but make a "rumble" sound, which made her fair cheeks blush.

She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, so she had been enduring the hunger.

"I'm so hungry..." the injured man with glasses leaned against the wall, weakly and sleepily calling out, "Hungry... I'm so hungry..."

But there was no one to show him any pity. In this world where everyone was in danger, everyone only cared about whether they could survive or not. Giving food to others meant death.

"Uncle, you... drink some more water..." Without food, Tang Wanyue didn't know how to comfort the man. She could only offer the cup of water to his mouth again.

The man with glasses only drank a few sips of water, and soon fell asleep again. His serious injuries and hunger had drained all his energy.

Tang Wanyue sat alone at the wall, wearing the coat that Tang Cheng had given her. Her gaze couldn't help but fall on Liu Hong, who was eating the dry noodles.

And Liu Hong immediately stuffed the noodles into her clothes out of caution, afraid that Tang Wanyue would suddenly rush over and snatch her food.

Tang Wanyue sighed lightly. She would never snatch someone else's food, and besides, she was already too weak to do so. Leaning against the wall, she looked at the door with a somewhat blank gaze...

"So hungry... Is this how I'm going to starve to death in the end?"

"I miss the porridge my mom used to cook..."

"I wonder how my mom is doing right now? Did she manage to escape..."Lost in her thoughts, Tang Wanyue leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
