As Isaac was serving rice and soup while Scarlett, Owen, Aymer, and Luca were distributing the food among the people, a certain small figure approached Isaac. The figure looked really curious about Isaac.
She continued to observe what Isaac was doing for some time before asking. "Can I also help?" Isaac stopped for a moment and looked at the small yet brave girl who despite being hungry for two straights days came and offered to help.
.
Looking at those pure and innocent green emerald eyes, the coldness in Isaac's eyes dimmed a lot. It was as if Isaac was seeing his little sister in her. After looking at the small girl for a moment, Isaac resumed his work.
"Little Miss, what is your name?" There was a hidden smile on Isaac's face. As he was looking down, no one was able to see that small smile except for Lusha who was silently observing Isaac this entire time.
"My name is Aisha Smith. What is your name, big brother?"
.
Hearing Luca's daughter calling Isaa big brother, the former prince looked at the little girl. There was a hidden mixture of happiness and surprise in his eyes.
"My name is Isaac." After passing the bowl that has been filled with rice to Aymer, Isaac turned his attention to the little girl who was observing how the food was being given to the people.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
.
The little girl looked at her father and replied. "Aisha is hungry. But Aisha won't eat without her Papa."
'For her age, she is quite mature.' Isaac thought while filling another bowl with rice.
"Hehe! Brother Isaac, if you want we can adopt a child and raise her together." The soft melodic sound of Lusha reached Isaac's ear.
Bang!
The rice bowl fell on the ground and broke into pieces. The dragon Empress's words were so seducing and tempting that for a moment Isaac almost felt his mind get frozen.
.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Aymer asked seeing Isaac looking dazed for a moment.
"Big brother, you shouldn't waste food like that." Seeing that even the little angel was scolding him, Isaac shot a glare at Lusha who was silently giggling and trying her best to suppress her laughter.
"It won't happen again." After saying that, Isaac used his full speed to quickly clean everything.
"Don't worry, I have bought some extra bowls so breaking one or two should be fine." Isaac sighed hearing Luca's voice.
.
All this was happening because a certain Dragon Empress decided to tease him. Isaac again glared at Lusha. If this glare was given by someone else then that person would have been reduced to ashes but Lusha clearly treated Isaac in a special way.
To her, observing Isaac was a means of amusement and the only enjoyable thing in the whole world.
"I really wonder if this woman is the dragon Empress or the Succubus Empress in disguise." Lusha again giggled hearing Isaac's murmuring words.
.
There was no denying the fact that Lusha was the most beautiful and charming woman that Isaac has ever seen in his two lives. Each time Lusha did something, even her smallest movement had the power to charm every men's heart.
Fortunately, only no one but Isaac can see her and talk with her. Otherwise, her charm is enough to make men and women worship her as the goddess of beauty.
.
After this small incident, Isaac didn't dare lose his focus as he didn't wish to get scolded by the little angel again. With the joint affords of Isaac, Aymer, Owen, Scarlett, and Luca, they were able to serve food to every people on the base. Some people complained about more rice but unfortunately, Isaac had to shut them with a glare. If Isaac had given a second refill then many other people would also have asked for the same thing.
And since the number of people coming to the base was constantly increasing, the quantity was getting low, there was barely enough food for Isaac and other evolvers.
.
"Let's eat." In the VIP room, Isaac, Aymer, Owen, Scarlett, Luca, and his little daughter Aisha sat together to have their food.
Everyone except Isaac was feeling hungry at this point. Luca before eating his food, gently pulled his daughter to sit on his lap and then feed his daughter with love that was enough to make others in the other jealous when they remembered their loved ones.
"Here drink this. But be careful the soup is still a little hot."
.
Slurp!
"How is it?" Everyone looked at Aisha's face. For some reason, Aisha looked dazed.

"Aisha, what happened? Do you not like the soup?" Luca worriedly asked seeing his daughter looking dazed. Everyone other than Isaac looked a little worried as well. Everyone had become a little attached to Aisha in their short period of interaction.
.
"Papa, this soup is so delicious. I never had anything like this before." Aisha's green emerald eyes glittered in shining stars. Seeing her reaction, everyone even without realizing sighed in relief.
"But Papa, I got this strange message when I drank the soup."
"What message?" Luca worriedly asked.
"Aisha must have received some stats points" Isaac replied while eating his food. Since Isaac's stats were already too high, he didn't receive any stats points.
.
Seeing everyone looking at him for more explanation. Isaac continued while eating.
"The meat of this soup is not just any normal meat. This is the meat of Peak gold rank also known as Peak second-order. When a low-rank human eats high-rank mutant beast meat, they receive some stats points as the meat of a high-rank mutant beast is rich and filled with powers."
Hearing that they were eating a Peak second-order wolf's meat, everyone for a moment trembled. One had to know before the apocalypse, that eating the meat of Peak Gold-rank beast meat was considered a luxury even for royalty.
.
For slaves and peasants whose lives were even worse than ordinary people's, eating Peak gold-rank beast's meat was an impossible thing.
"Don't look at me like that. In the future, this kind of thing will become a normal thing in our daily life." Eating the meat of a second-order mutant beast every single, Luca for a moment felt his head spinning. Except for Isaac, everyone sitting with him was slaves or peasants. For them imagining this kind of life was very difficult.
.
For the next few minutes, no one said anything. Even the small angel Aisha understood the importance of this topic.
It was not just Aisha, even Aymer, Owen, Scarlett and Luca received some stats points after eating the mutant beast meat. But Compared to Aisha who was only level 1, the stats points others got were quite low.

"When will this rain stop? I feel like this rain will never stop." Scarlett clearly hated the rain and felt complaining about it.
"The rain should end before tomorrow morning." Lusha lazily replied. Looking at her, Isaac could see that she was reading some fantasy novels while lazily sitting in the air, 5 meters above the ground.
"I feel that the rain will stop soon." Isaac passed Lusha's words indirectly.
.
After eating, Aisha, the little girl felt her eyes getting heavier. Last night the little girl couldn't sleep because of all the chaos. Now that she had finally eaten some food and felt the atmosphere around her is safe, she relaxed and let herself fall asleep on her father's lap.
Since Isaac had no other work to do, he first gave a pillow and blanket to cover Aisha and then started reading the runes.
.
The rest of the day passed quickly as Isaac was so immersed in his study of runes. When Isaac stopped his studies it was already midnight. Luca, Owen, Scarlett, and Aymer all had gone to sleep. The VIP room was quite large. Isaac also found a place and after placing his favorite pillow and blanket he was about to lay down but then he heard Lusha's words.
.
"What's your plan for tomorrow?" Lusha asked. As a Peak 7th order being, Lusha could stay awake even for hundreds of years. She doesn't need any sleep.
"Tomorrow, I will try to clear the zombies near the base and make a safe area so that the people can finally go out. My plan is to connect both bases by eliminating all the zombies in the area."
"By connecting the two bases you want to create something like a fortress and keep the zombies out." Isaac nodded his head. This was originally Xavion's plan. Isaac felt this was their current best course of action.
.
"Then may I suggest a different approach." Isaac raised his eyebrow in surprise and signaled Lusha to continue.
"The slum area is around the Eastfox city like a thick ring of the circle. Currently, we're in the southern part of the slum. If you head to the West part of the slum, you will find a reserve."
"By reserve you mean...."
"Yes, the food reserve. The reserve has enough food to feed everyone on two bases for the next 10 years. But to claim the reserve, you might have to fight some second-order beings."
