Chapter 397

The Battalion Commander also smelled the fragrance — a scent she had not smelled since the apocalypse.

No, a fragrance she had never smelled at all.

Could I have broken too?

Fear gripped the Battalion Commander's heart, yet there was a trace of relief.

If Yuli had already broken.

Then, would she still have the courage to keep going?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a sweet fragrance appear at her lips, and involuntarily opened her mouth to bite at it.

Instantly, a flavor that delighted even the soul surged up.

"Th-this... what is this!" the Battalion Commander exclaimed in shock. "Is the hallucination this powerful! It can actually simulate this kind of taste. This is a flavor I've never tasted in my entire life."

Looking at Yuli, she saw Yuli puffing out her cheeks like a squirrel, chewing food in big bites, with seasoning stains still clinging to the corners of her mouth.

"Hehe, Qia... hu, eat up, I can't finish all this by myself!"

Pointing at the ground, the Battalion Commander suddenly noticed a pile of bowls and plates on the floor, containing bread, stir-fried dishes, drinks...

"This..." the Battalion Commander rubbed her eyes, but the feast remained.

Carefully picking up a piece of pastry and putting it in her mouth, instantly that incomparably sweet feeling, as if soaking into the soul, came again, filling her eyes with hope.

"It's real, it's actually real!"

"Yuli hasn't broken, and I haven't broken either!"

"Yuli, have we found hope?"

Yuli stopped, her gaze blank, looking at the Battalion Commander: "What?"

"Hope!" the Battalion Commander said loudly, "Isn't this the hope we've been searching for?"

"Hope!!!" Only then did Yuli suddenly realize, and said happily, "Oh right, this is the hope we've been searching for all along. I didn't expect Yuli's luck to be this good, to actually find hope. Battalion Commander (Haonuo's), we probably won't go hungry anymore in the future."

"Mm." The Battalion Commander nodded, and enjoyed the feast with Yuli for a while, then stopped. "Let's save the rest for later, if we keep eating we'll burst. Yuli, someone gave us good stuff, shouldn't we give something back?"

Yuli nodded, looking at the remaining food with some reluctance: "Mm."

"Not the food, silly." The Battalion Commander comforted her. "Didn't you say they're in a civilized world? They definitely won't lack food, let's send them some gold. In a civilized world, gold should be very valuable."

"Oh!" Yuli perked up, full of energy. "I remember there's a vault not far from here, let's go grab some gold!"

"Mm."

A moment later.

Yuli and the Battalion Commander easily cracked open a vault, and sat atop a huge pile of gold.
