Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2706

The man's words were effective.

Many who were still feeling unsure earlier immediately decided to leave.

The first member stepped out to voice his desire to leave. Then more people followed suit.

Nodding, Sole Wolf said, “Very well. Those who want to leave, please wait here on the left to get your ration. Those who don't, please stand on the right.”

The crowd began to move.

Ten minutes later, about one-third of the crowd had gathered on the left and waited for their ration while the others chose to stay.

Sole Wolf said to Phoenix, “You'll handle the distribution of food.”

“But this is unfair for those who stayed,” Phoenix said.

“What's unfair about it?” asked Sole Wolf.

“The beasts you hunted will only last us for around twenty days, but you're giving out one month's worth of food to those leaving. You're basically forcing them to leave. How is that fair for those who are staying?”

Sole Wolf scoffed, “What do you mean, only twenty days? Whose appetite's that large to finish so much food?”

“You don't know how many mouths we have to feed on this base, do you?”

“Of course I do, but I bet you have no idea how much food I brought back.”

With that, Sole Wolf tore open a burlap sack.

White grains came flowing out.

What? Am I imagining things?

Everyone gaped at the sack.

Don't tell me all these sacks are filled with grains. If they're filled with grains... No. That's impossible. Who'd collect so much grain in their house?

No one had seen so many grains before.

Not even the grains they used to finish in the past were this much.

Maybe only two sacks are filled with grains while the others are filled with soil. They're just deliberately showing off here.

With just one look at the crowd's expression, Sole Wolf could tell they were suspecting the contents of the sacks to be soil.

Shooting Killer Wolf and the others a look, Sole Wolf said, “Guys, help me out here.”

The others understood his words. They instantly pulled out their daggers and tore open the sacks.

Grains flowed out of the first burlap sack.

The same went for the second, third, fourth, and so on.

Beautiful white grains flowed out of every burlap sack that had been torn open.

Its fragrance filled the air, causing everyone to cry emotionally.

The mountain of food was indeed a mountain of food.

All that food could definitely last them for two years.

In fact, they would be fine for three years if they lived frugally.

Everyone was amazed. They wondered how Sole Wolf and the others acquired so much food.

Of course, that was beside the point.

Those who had chosen to leave were regretting it terribly.

After all, they would only get a month's worth of food when they left.

When one month was over, they would have to return to Contubernium's district in the outermost area, survive on moldy buns, and live hell-like days.

As for the people who had chosen to stay, they needed not worry about food for up to three years.

Moreover, Sole Wolf and the others could gather more food when they had finished it after three years.

Damn it. It's all that man's fault. If he hadn't caused a commotion, we wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

Phoenix was so excited that her hands were trembling. She gently grabbed a handful of grain and examined it carefully. After munching on a couple of them, she got more excited.

“These are the highest-grade grain only Legion get to consume. I can't believe Sole Wolf and the others manage to get such high-quality food!”

The crowd exploded into a frenzy.

The food they used to eat was of second grade. In fact, it was normal for them to consume rotten or moldy food. That included food mixed with soil and stones.

Never in their wildest dreams did they think they could eat high-quality food. At that moment, they felt as if they could die without regrets.

Sole Wolf said, “All right, Phoenix. Distribute the food so everyone can part without hard feelings.”
