Chapter 177 The Ones Above the Ceiling
Finished
This time, Hector had brought over fifty people. Nearly fralf of Redwood Military Base’s elite forces had been deployed.
They were determined to take the person with dual abilities and even the mutated goose.
Nothing would be left behind.
And of course, there was also….
“Martin…”
Hector exhaled slowly, his voice heavy. He had personally come for one reason: to confirm whether that man was really Martin.
And if it truly was Martin and Drake, then where had his son gone?
Hector raised a hand. A disciplined wave of soldiers moved out of the vehicles in formation and entered the hospital carefully.
On the second floor, Vivian was lying on the ground, chatting with an ant.
“You’re saying… a lot of cars?
“And several familiar people?
“They’ve already come inside? Did you tell my world’s number one best friend?”
After receiving confirmation, Vivian relaxed a little “Good. My world’s number one best friend is coming back soon. Then let’s also see what those people are here for.”
She walked to the hole in the ceiling that Robin had blasted open last time, then jumped lightly.
The explosive power of her leg sent her upward, and her hand caught the edge of the ceiling with ease.
Clearly, she had done this many times before.
She climbed into the opening and slipped into the ventilation ducts above. For a child, the was even a little spacious.

And none of the adults below had any idea that, right above their heads, hidden within the ceiling, there was a small child watching everything.
The group carefully entered the hospital lobby. The moment they stepped inside, they noticed something immediately.
“Commander Clark! There are bowls here!”
“And mac and cheese containers!”
“Water bottles! There are so many water bottles!”

“Seasoning packets!”
“Chocolate wrappers!”
“Bread packets!”
“And this… watermelon rind! They even ate watermelon and didn’t even finish it properly!”
Reports came one after another.
Everyone was stunned.

Trash was scattered everywhere. All evidence of what the group here had been eating these past few days.
But the problem was… they were eating too well.
In the apocalypse, food had become the most precious resource. Even instant noodles were luxury items now, let alone bread and mac and cheese!
Clean water was even scarcer. In their base, purified water was strictly controlled by the upper leadership and distributed in rationed amounts. Each person only received a tiny daily allowance that was barely enough to get by. As for other beverages, those were almost unimaginable luxuries.
Yet here, there were bottles of mineral water, milk, juice… even snacks that most of them hadn’t seen since forever.
People unconsciously swallowed as they looked at the bright and colorful packaging.
It had been a while since they ate things like that.
Serena widened her eyes. She couldn’t understand it. Where did these people get all this food?
“Well, well.”
Seeing those brightly colored packages, Hector’s irritation rosa for no clear reason.
Watermelon. Milk. Orange juice…
Even as a high–ranking official in the base, he rarely got access to these things.

Especially watermelon. Right now, it was summer, and the heat was oppressive, so a watermelon was basically the ultimate seasonal luxury. He could get it with his status, but every time he ate it, he almost wished he could scrape it down to the very last rind just to savor it properly.
