Chapter 355: Suppressed
Each room was only twenty square meters, so everyone had to squeeze together as they slept. If they were awake, their spot was only enough for them to sit.
With a bad ventilation system and overpopulation, the air was damp and full of mixed smells.
Now that water was scarce, it was a luxury to be able to take a shower. Most survivors hadn’t showered for several weeks, so the smell was suffocating and nauseating.
But even with living conditions like this, more and more people were coming to the base every day. The group returned to their room and sat together.
Fortunately, they were assigned to the same room, so it was convenient for them to take care of each other. They looked around and made sure that the guards were not patrolling before they chatted in hushed voices.
"Ah Yue, you should control your temper. Now that we live under others’ roofs, we have to endure it even if they make things hard for us," a middle-aged woman said.
Hearing this, Shen Jinyue said, "Mother, we don’t know where they took my father, cousins, and uncles. Are we just going to do nothing and wait?"
Mother Shen held her daughter’s hand tightly and said after a moment of silence, "Because they have taken our family hostage, we have to endure. Mother believes that your eldest brother will come to rescue us. All we have to do is stay alive and wait for him."
After she said these words, another middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Xiao Yue, listen to your mother. When my daughter returns from the reservoir, she might be able to get some information about our family members."
Shen Jinyue looked at the middle-aged woman and replied, "Aunt Xiao, I understand."
