Warning: Running food commentary by AutumnBreeze
Just as He Jin and Gong Lixin were finished eating their slice of cake, Wu Ming and the others burst into the restaurant with a few bags of food. They exclaimed in surprise when they saw the bodies which were scattered carelessly on the ground, their anxiousness immediately disappearing.
"Such a good smell!" When he was hungry, Lu Yun's nose was more sensitive than a dog's. He immediately smelled the sweet scent of cake amidst the smell of blood.
"Wow! There's cake, egg tart, milk, coffee, chicken wings, and hamburgers here! So much delicious food!" Lu Yun's eyes brightened and his mouth flooded with drool upon seeing all the food stashed in the fresh-keeping cabinets and the warming cabinet,. He usually didn't look at such cheap fast food items but they were extremely attractive at this moment.

"Stop gawking, hurry up and pack!" He Jin yelled as he took out a tray meant to hold cakes from the counter and placed all the cakes Gong Lixin had his eyes on onto the tray.
Wu Ming, Lu Yun, and Wang Tao didn't need to be told twice. They pulled out all the to-go bags from behind the counter and swept away all the food in the store into the bags. Wu Ming took away the good-looking knives from the kitchen. [1]
When the five people returned outside with fragrant cakes in their hands, Gu Nan and Ma Jun had already returned to the unfinished building. They had opened a few bags of biscuits to eat. They were not appetizing but they didn't dare take the risk of searching for something better. They had taken some light food and a few bottles of mineral water before they hurried back. [2]
When they saw the other five returning with bags filled to the brim, their envy could not be hidden.
Gong Lixin and his group sat in their own corner, their entire group barely able to restrain themselves from tearing open the paper bags that held the food. The rich smell of roast chicken wings and sweet cakes filled the main hall of the first floor. The homeless man, Gu Nan, and Ma Jun all gulped. [3]
"Here, you wanted to eat spicy chicken wings!" He Jin handed over the bag of tightly wrapped chicken wings to Gong Lixin.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Gong Lixin's round cat eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. He immediately took the paper bag, opened it, and took out a chicken wing to eat. Gong Lixin couldn't care less about manners right now. He was too hungry. As he ate, he caught up with Lu Yun and Wang Tao.

"Eat slowly! Here, have some milk. You are still growing and need your calcium." [4] He Jin thought that even though the child was young, he would still have to go through all kinds of hardships in the near future. He put the straw into the milk carton and didn't say anything since he was still exhausted.
"Hn, you eat too, Big Brother He." Gong Lixin took the carton of milk and slurped loudly, showing a happy expression as he glanced at He Jin with gratefulness.
Seeing the child eating with such joy and happiness, He Jin also smiled slightly. The soreness around his heart eased. He picked up a hamburger and began eating as well. [5]
Surprised, Wu Ming stared at the two with wide eyes. He had never seen He Jin take such care of a person. However, with all the food in front of him, he quickly forgot the abnormalities in He Jin's behaviour.
The homeless man who'd long been hungry in his own corner salivated as he watched the others eat delicious food. He hesitated for a while before he slowly leaned towards the five people.
