The soldier hurriedly thanked Caroline, then told her that ever since Colonel Sutton had left with a few men, they were even more short–handed. On top of that, they had almost no food left. The rear area couldn’t be reached right now, and they had no real force to keep people in line. They couldn’t control the crowds who only knew how to shout for food.

Caroline snorted coldly and thought to herself that people had just been spoiled.

She went to find Alger. He was a mess, obviously under a lot of pressure.

When he saw Caroline, he gave a tired smile. He had been with Colonel Sutton when they went to the juice factory to grab equipment, so he’d seen what Caroline could do.

“Ms. Sinclair, what brings you here? I’m swamped. We don’t even know if Colonel Sutton’s in trouble. We’re thinking about sending people to the rear area to check, but we were short–handed to begin with. I don’t want to send people away and then have everything fall apart.”

Alger was young but steady. Right now, he was frowning worriedly.

“It’s snowing and freezing outside. If Colonel Sutton doesn’t come back in two days, then go check. I came to tell you something.”

Caroline took out the black bread she made.

As soon as Alger saw the bread, his stomach gave a loud growl.

He looked embarrassed and swallowed. “Sorry. There’s hardly any food in the shelter. We gave most of it away to civilians downstairs. I’ve been so busy I forgot to eat today.”

Caroline glanced at the empty plate on his table, with only a little half–cup of water left.

“Forgot” was just an excuse. They simply had no supplies and were saving what little they had for others, letting themselves go hungry.

She remembered soldiers she’d met in her past life.

They were people like Alger who did the most work and ate the least.

Once, an old woman said she couldn’t walk, so she asked a soldier to carry her up and down the stairs.

The young soldier, who looked no older than twenty, didn’t say a word and carried the old woman up.

Then, Caroline watched the young soldier collapse on the ground.

Later, they found he had starved to death.

Caroline knew these were the hardest days of the deep freeze.

She wasn’t trying to be a saint, and she couldn’t save everyone, but those mutant cockroach carcasses had been brought back from the front by soldiers.

She said she wanted to study them, and now she’d made a real contribution. If the army saw the value, maybe they’d send better equipment later.

By then, she could get more mutant creatures and upgrade her space more.

It was a good trade.

“This is something new I developed. We tried it upstairs and it was safe to consume. Do you want to try?”

As she said that, Caroline took a black bread out of the bag and put it in Alger’s hand.

Alger hesitated at first. He knew the rules about not taking civilians‘ rations.

However, Caroline explained how the bread was made.

His eyes widened. “This is made from mutant cockroaches?”

Caroline nodded.

After a moment, Alger bit into the bread hard. He was surprised and said it tasted good.
