Chapter 236
The pot of steaming camp stew was packed with potatoes, carrots, onions, beef chunks, bacon strips, smoked sausage, meatballs, canned ham, and whatever else they could throw in.
It was almost all meat.
Liam’s group wasn’t empty-handed, either. They cooked some rice on the spot.
Ever since they took over that granary, Liam’s base had become much better off People at Base K1 could now eat rice regularly, and life had improved fast.
Everyone had a little more weight on them.
Though, of course, they still couldn’t compare with Hayley’s base.
Hayley’s people had never gone hungry. They had meat at every meal.
When Base Ki’s soldiers saw that huge pot full of meat, their eyes practically lit up.
When the lid came off, and the broth started steaming, mixed with the smell of meat and spices, they almost passed out from how good it smelled.
“The rice is ready!” Ethan shouted, scooping out big bowls for everyone as soon as it finished cooking.
A ladle of rich broth was poured right over the hot rice.
Even without side dishes, just one bite of rice soaked in the hearty soup was enough to wake up every taste bud. The rich, meaty flavor spread through their mouths, and the rice swimming in the broth was soft and perfect with it.
It was ridiculously delicious.
Then came a bite of the beef and meat soaked in the savory broth.
It was so good that people from Base K1 practically inhaled it.
“So good!”
“Yeah, this is so delicious!”
Derek shoveled food into his mouth so fast that he could barely talk straight.
The others were no better, scooping from the pot as if their lives depended on it.
Of course, Hayley and Liam each had their own full bowls, so they didn’t have to fight for food
Derek lost every battle. When the pot was almost empty, he was still hungry and stared at it sadly.
“I’m the youngest here. None of you guys ever go easy on me.”
Hayley laughed and picked out a big meatball from her bowl. “Here.”
“Boss…” Derek was so touched that his eyes almost watered.
He felt that Hayley was the best. He swore he would be nice to her forever.
He took the meatball and looked around, as if showing off, before taking a big bite.
This was heaven!
The rest of them saw that and immediately held out their bowls.
“Boss, give me one, too.”
“I like everything”
“I’m starving, Prot
