Chapter 536 I looked at Steven cautiously.
Then, I turned toward the others. "Do you guys hear any children?" Zion has already picked up sfood and returned to his room.
Eason perked up to listen before shaking his head. "I don't..." Joel tried to listen as best as he could as well. "How did you manage to hear the sound of kids among all this commotion? Are you sure you're not hallucinating?" The dining area was packed with people. To be honest, it was quite difficult to hear.
Maverick also shook his head. "I don't hear anything either." I looked back at Steven.
The man was eating his food quietly. He didn't say that he heard anything, nor did he say he didn't. Judging by the way he was behaving, he didn't wantto risk my safety.

Without a choice, I rubbed Yara's head and said, "Maybe we really misheard it. There are guards stationed at the bottom deck, so we can't possibly go down there.
"Hurry up and eat. We're heading back after everyone is done." Yara lowered her head dejectedly. "When I was hiding in the cabin, I really heard them... There was someone who sent them food too." I didn't respond.
We had no idea what the situation down there was like. If it harbored secrets like the medical capsule had, we might really end up in danger.
At times like these, it was a wiser choice to keep yourself safe.
"Enjoy your meal, everyone. Do try to eat as much as possible... because soon, there won't be enough food to go around." The eerie voice rang out in the speakers yet again, "There isn't much tleft. The ship is heading further and further away... If you want to head back... you should find the CEO of Crowdstar Group as soon as you possibly can." I frowned at the broadcast. I had started to suspect that locating the CEO was merely a front. The Rebels just wanted to bring out the worst in people and watch them turn on each other.
They seemed adamant on making that happen.
"From tomorrow onwards, meals are given according to your room key. One key gets you a meal for two. Everyone best be keeping their room keys safe-without a key, you'd unfortunately need to starve." The voice was giving us rules and spreading fear.
Maverick looked at his room key nervously. Keys to regular rooms were white, only room keys in the VIP section were gold in color.
"Keys from the VIP section have access to food of premium quality and luxury wines. Even the rooms are the safest. The doors are made of reinforced, anti-burglary materials.
"That means... Joel was actually right. Those in possession of gold cards were going to becthe hunted, "Eason said grimly.
The atmosphere bectense and awkward.

The people from the dining hall were already eyeing us greedily. "Tuck your cards away," I urged Eason to keep his card hidden.
Based on what was going on, the card was not replaceable if you m happen to lose it. I took Yara's hand and anxiously started to take my leave.
However, Yara stopped at the exit to the bottom deck. She remained glued 1 deck. She to the floor. "Listen, Ms. Stephy... There really are kids down there..."
I immediately ran over and grabbed her. "Let's head back first, Yara. It's ve not safe outside.... "Yara!" She suddenly broke free from my grip and dashed downstairs.
I inhaled sharply and turned to look at Steven.
We promised the police we'd bring her back safely...
