Chapter 160 The Rich Family's Dog Meat Stinks

Upper level of the shelter.

General You Wuchang's residence.

The Spider Queen walked with graceful steps through the hall where light and shadow intertwined.

She was wearing a long robe that dragged on the ground. The robe was like an intricately woven spider web, and the gold and silver threads shimmered luxuriously in the moonlight.

Every step was accompanied by a subtle metallic crackling sound, like a melodious harp playing in the night.

Every step is perfectly placed on the boundary between light and shadow, sometimes dark and sometimes bright.

Behind her were the senior officials of Shelter No. 36, including General You Wuchang.

You Wuchang felt a little restrained.

Instead, he forgot that this was his territory, as if the Spider Queen was the ruler of this shelter.

This was the first time he was so close to the Spider Queen.

The dark red hair that looked like a waterfall fluttered gently in front of You Wuchang.

Even if the Spider Queen restrained her breath, the constantly shaking hair and the swirling air currents made it hard for people to breathe.

"Queen, this way."

When You Wuchang saw that the Spider Queen was about to walk towards the room at the deepest part of the corridor, he reminded her in time.

The Spider Queen stopped and slowly turned her head, her eyes like deep whirlpools: "The last time I came here, I was received in the innermost room."

You Wuchang naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he smiled and replied, "That room is a bit shabby, and it would be disrespectful to receive the Queen. The restaurant is on your left."

The Spider Queen didn't say anything, but just glanced at the room deep in the corridor and entered the restaurant on the left.

After walking in.

You can see a long dining table across the center of the banquet hall.

There is a wide variety of exquisite cakes and fruits, and flowers, red wine and melodious music echo in the hall.

Pretty female waiters carried trays and walked around like butterflies among flowers.

All the important people in the shelter were dressed in their best clothes, scattered in twos and threes in the magnificent banquet hall, chatting in low voices.

A scene of luxury.

Shen Bei was also among them.

Originally, Shen Bei was not qualified to attend the banquet to welcome the Spider Queen.

But Shen Bei was thick-skinned and Rock had no way to deal with him, so he asked You Wuchang for permission and let him in.

Melodious light music echoed in the empty living room. The fireplace was burning brightly, bringing warmth to the entire room. Most of the lights had been dimmed, showing an extremely ambiguous brightness. On the dining table, candlelight flickered, and wine glasses and tableware were arranged neatly, full of a romantic atmosphere.

Shen Bei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of red wine.

Looking at the guests in the room.

Many people gathered around the Spider Queen's subordinates and chatted with them.

The Spider Queen sat in the main seat in the rest area, and You Wuchang accompanied her carefully, chatting about some irrelevant things.

Shen Bei turned his head and looked out the window again.

Since the evil alarm was sounded, a large number of lower-class residents have poured in, trampling the upper class into a mess.

According to incomplete statistics, the evil species didn't kill a single person, but due to the panic it caused, hundreds of people were trampled to death...

What a... shameful joke.

The news that the evil species was killed by the Spider Queen shocked everyone in the shelter.

If it weren't for You Wuchang's guards firing warning shots, the excited residents would have rushed in, admired the Spider Queen's majesty, and begged her to work harder to eliminate all the evil species...

"Quiet."

At this moment, General You Wuchang slowly walked to the front of the stage, raised his hand and made a fake press. His voice was not very loud, but it seemed as if the sound came directly from people's minds, sweeping across the entire room in an instant, and quickly quieting the noisy conversation.

Under the gaze of dozens of awe-inspiring people, You Wuchang looked solemn and dignified:

"O resilient people, in the blink of an eye, this is already the 98th year of the new era. And today, we are about to enter a new year."

"Things are different now. Under the leadership of the Spider Queen and the arduous efforts of everyone in Shelter No. 8, the Spider Queen has accomplished an unparalleled feat and defeated the evil species!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people applauded fiercely and continuously.

This is today’s theme!

Killing the evil species is a small step for the Spider Queen, but a giant leap for mankind!

You Wuchang continued, "After we, under the leadership of the Spider Queen, have completely eradicated the evil species, we humans will rise from the ruins, overcome all obstacles, rebuild our homeland, and gain a firm foothold in this devastated land."

"Our technology, civilization, social order, everything can be restored and rebuilt. All of this is due to the perseverance and self-improvement of our nation, and the blood and sacrifices of the countless soldiers who have fought here, and we must never forget them!"

"These warriors may be someone's parents, partners, or children. They rest forever on this land for the reconstruction of our homeland and for the lives of millions of people."

"Today is not only the anniversary of our Spider Queen's slaying of the evil species, but also a glorious commemoration of countless talented people!"

"For 98 years, the heroes who sacrificed their lives at the beginning of the disaster will be immortalized!"

"For 98 years, the heroes who sacrificed their lives to rebuild our homeland will be immortalized!"

"For 98 years, the heroes who sacrificed their lives in successive struggles to protect millions of people will be immortalized!"

You Wuchang's voice was deafening and shocking. Everyone in the room had red eyes and raised their arms and shouted:

"Immortal!"

"Immortal!"

In the 98 years since the catastrophe, natural disasters, scarce food and water, vicious beasts, wild gods, evil species... under the unparalleled crisis pressure, death and sacrifice have become the theme song of the establishment and growth of every shelter. Countless ordinary soldiers and new human soldiers have been born and died, and their bones are buried in the wilderness.

Among these people are the parents, brothers and children of the survivors present.

Although the concept of nation has disappeared after the disaster, blood ties are the connection that can never be severed in the bones of this nation.

Shen Bei, who was standing aside, was also slightly moved when he saw this scene.

After he traveled to this mysterious refugee world, he saw that the local survivors were already wandering in the wilderness full of dangers.

But even if he had not experienced the initial period of the disaster, it was not difficult for Shen Bei to imagine how difficult the situation was that people faced at that time, and what price and sacrifices were paid to achieve the current situation.

Even in another world, this nation is still a great nation.

But Shen Bei felt that... You Wuchang was a little off topic.

This was a banquet to welcome the Spider Queen. As You Wuchang spoke, he almost overshadowed the Spider Queen.

We should not talk about any great justice or future ideals, but the most important task for You Wuchang is to hold the Spider Queen in his arms, serve her well and then leave.

But at this moment, the Spider Queen's face only flashed a hint of displeasure, but she didn't take it seriously. She quickly put on a faint smile and said, "General You is reminding us that we can't forget the past just because we have a temporary victory."

“Every refuge, every wilderness, without the sacrifices of our predecessors, we would not be able to master so many laws of the world.”

"A toast to the seniors."

The Spider Queen suggested, and everyone immediately raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

The Spider Queen slowly stood up and walked gracefully in front of the crowd.

The maid followed her in small steps and filled the wine glass in her hand.

"There's one thing I want everyone to know."

The Spider Queen's expression was extremely serious, her robes rustling behind her. "This time, I was able to eliminate the evil species not because I discovered some technique or pattern, but because this evil species was seriously injured."

"You may have heard rumors that someone has found the corpse of an evil species."

"I have analyzed the source of this rumor and have scoured the wilderness in search of the body of this evil creature."

"God will not let down those who work hard. I found it."

The Spider Queen paused here. Everyone knew that although she said it was easy, it might actually take years to find it.

"At that time, this evil seed had two completely different wounds."

"One is damage caused by a mutant, and the other is caused by an unknown source."

"There was only the corpse of the evil one at the scene. The body of the mutant had disappeared, leaving only a shattered head. It seems that both sides were injured and died together."

The Spider Queen took a sip of red wine and said, "My analysis shows that only when the evil species is seriously injured can we make a finishing blow."

"It turned out just as I expected. This evil creature was killed."

"So, please don't exaggerate or spread rumors. The evil species is still invincible. All we can do is pick up the missing ones."

Having said this, everyone in the audience fell into a state of pain.

It turns out I was overthinking it.

I thought the Spider Queen was so powerful that she could eliminate all evil species and stop humans from fleeing famine.

At this moment, You Wuchang held his hands and said with a smile, "Regardless, Her Majesty, you have provided a brilliant idea. There's no guarantee that more severely injured evil species will appear in the future, so more hunts are not impossible."

The Spider Queen nodded.

In her opinion, if there is one or two, there will be three, four, five, and six.

No one knows what kind of damage the evil species has suffered. Not to mention any clues, it is hard to imagine what caused the damage to the evil species.

But as long as they are seriously injured, it is humanity’s hope to eliminate the evil species!

General You Wuchang clapped his hands. "Alright, let's begin the banquet. Welcome the Spider Queen and her team to Shelter 36!"

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

The Spider Queen naturally sat in the main seat at the head of the long table.

The others sat on either side.

When it was Shen Bei's turn to sit down, Shen Bei's seat was a little special...

This seat was actually at the other side of the long table, right across from the Spider Queen.

However, no one cared about Shen Bei, and Shen Bei didn't care either, so he just sat down.

The maids began to take turns serving the dishes.

There's nothing much to say about the dishes.

Shelter 36 is located in the cold winter of the North, and there is definitely no fresh food.

Most of the dishes are easy-to-store foods, with more meat and fewer vegetables.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, and people were talking non-stop, as if there were endless topics to talk about.

Shen Bei ate the food silently.

Just now.

The Spider Queen, who had been silent all the time, looked up at Shen Bei opposite her.

The fork in his hand tapped lightly against the cup, making a crisp sound.

Ding~~~

Everyone at the scene fell silent as if the pause button had been pressed, and looked at the Spider Queen, wondering if she had any instructions.

The Spider Queen crossed her arms, rested her chin on the back of her hands, tilted her head slightly, and her voice passed through the long table and reached Shen Bei's ears: "Why do you look familiar to me?"

You Wuchang:???

Rock:!!!
