Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 191: Prison

"Meow." <You’re finally done, Miss>

Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Shi Lan’s time of meditation was simply too long. So long that Xiao Mao was a bit worried that something would happen to her.

’Why are you so worried? I have meditated for months in the past, right?’ Yu Shi Lan rubbed Xiao Mao as she stood up and waited for the police officers to open the door.

There was a special dining room for prisoners to eat.

She thought that only ordinary prisoners were allowed to go there, but they also allowed her to go?

Are they not afraid of her running away?

This prison room was specially made and Yu Shi Lan knew that ordinary people would not be able to get out of here so easily. It was also because of this that she thought that she would stay here for a long time and they would never allow her to get out.

But now....

’They’re letting me eat with the others?’

Yu Shi Lan felt that it was a bit strange.

But even if it was strange, she wouldn’t think too much and will just follow the arrangement that was made. Anyway, it was just eating together with the others in a big cafeteria.

The door opened and Yu Shi Lan saw a nervous soldier standing in front of her.

It was obvious that he was afraid of her. After all, what Yu Shi Lan had done before has already spread out in the military and many people didn’t want to deal with her. But it was the order to escort her to the cafeteria, so someone had to come forward.

Yu Shi Lan glanced at the man indifferently.

He lowered his eyes and then walked froward, leading the way for Yu Shi Lan. It was just... it really didn’t look like a police officer who was escorting a prisoner.

Yu Shi Lan: "..."

"Meow." <Miss, that means you’re too terrifying.>

Xiao Mao gloated when she saw this scene, feeling that Yu Shi Lan really deserve to be feared by many people.

With how she operated in the past, it would be a miracle if there were ordinary people who were not afraid of her.

’Xiao Mao, do you want me to confiscate your dried fish again?’

Xiao Mao froze.

She looked at her master resentfully and felt indignant.

Internally, she swore that she would not let her master get a hold of her dried fish snack again in the future.

Xiao Mao felt that she couldn’t express herself fully with Yu Shi Lan always threatening her with the dried fish snack.

While Xiao Mao was like a beaten frost, Yu Shi Lan headed to the destination calmly. The cafeteria was not that big and when she saw the food that they provided, she was a bit speechless.

Because it was nothing more than water porridge.

The porridge looked more like soup in fact with how much water has been added inside.

There was no way such food would be enough to feed people in normal times.

Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and then her eyes moved towards the other prisoners, seemingly understanding what had happened here before.

These prisoners were basically eating such food to make sure that they would not make trouble. At the same time, the base couldn’t possibly feed them for free, so the food that they could obtain was so pitiful like this.

For a moment, Yu Shi Lan even wondered if the police officers were not afraid of these prisoners creating a riot instead.

"Meow..." <Do you really want to eat those things, Miss?>

Xiao Mao peeked out of Yu Shi Lan’s pocket and her face was full of disgust when she saw the food provided for prisoners. She had the feeling that if Yu Shi Lan were to eat those things... she wouldn’t be able to eat enough.

"Just try to taste it," Yu Shi Lan replied in a low voice. "It’s not everyday you can eat prison’s food."

Xiao Mao: "..." no, I think most people would not want to eat prison’s food in their entire life.

But seeing Yu Shi Lan so nonchalant, Xiao Mao chose not to say anything.

The prisoners naturally noticed Yu Shi Lan since she was dressed rather differently from others. It didn’t look like she’s an ordinary prisoner based on her clothing and appearance, but no one dared to step forward.

There were some special prisoners from time to time.

But none of them were easy to deal with.

Either because of their background or because of they themselves.

To prevent killing themselves because of a moment of curiosity, those people decided not to come forward and check on Yu Shi Lan.

"Hmm..." Yu Shi Lan tasted the food and blinked her eyes.

It’s bland and so watery.

They were only given a small bowl of porridge, which was definitely not enough to fill their stomach.

Looking at the skinny prisoners around, Yu Shi Lan had some understanding.

In normal times, no one would starve a prisoners. They would give him enough food and shelter. But in the current time, it was already good enough if they didn’t skimp on the food and still gave them some to eat.

After all, the base was still worried that there wouldn’t be enough food to feed enough people in the long run.

The cold temperature had caused many plants to die.

And with the snow now falling... no plants would be able to live in such situation.

Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and her eyes lowered.

This is only the beginning.

Tep. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

As she tried the second scoop, she saw someone standing not far from her. He didn’t look in her direction and was instead beckoning towards someone else in front of him.

"Don’t look at me like that!"

"Huh?"

Bang!

And then it’s a fight.

Xiao Mao was bewildered and Yu Shi Lan’s eyes narrowed before she swiftly moved away from her seat.

Because someone else had punched the table.

Bang!
