Not long after Gu Ning left the building, several figures began to follow her.
Ten minutes later, Gu Ning arrived at the cooked food shop near the west gate of the construction site.
She didn't go in right away. Instead, she stood by the trash can outside, craning her neck to peer inside.
A wave of warm, food-scented air drifted out of the shop, adding a bit of warmth to the cold, silent night.
But the shop looked empty, with no customers in sight.
It was probably because winter had set in, and with the construction site operating around the clock, business was slow. Only a few Beastman employees in aprons were busy in the open kitchen to one side.
Inside the kitchen, a few "employees" were talking in low voices, their gazes occasionally drifting outside.
"Another one's here."
"Is that it?"
"Why isn't it coming in?"
"Looks like a hungry Dwarf hybrid begging for food."
"Ah Ze, take some food out and send it on its way."
