Moona and Maxi's eyes flashed with wariness, but the next second they heard Ivy say in a soft voice,
"We have fresh vegetables which will not last 6 months. Though there are indeed cup noodles that can be provided. There are also bento packs." Ivy explained.
Her words landed on the sisters like a forbidden temptation. Since the outbreak, they had never once heard of a base that could offer vegetables.
Meat, blood, flesh... those were the things whispered about whenever zombies were mentioned.
Vegetables felt unreal, almost laughable.
For a brief moment, curiosity flickered in their hollow gazes. And as if sensing that subtle shift in their emotions, Ivy smiled faintly.
"Wait here."
Her voice was calm, steady, leaving no room for argument. She turned and left the room, the door closing softly behind her.
The silence that followed felt heavier than before.
