Before nightfall, more than fifty people in the town rushed to receive potato cans, and the 'free' supplies carried by the exploration team were directly emptied.
The entire process was unexpectedly silent, with no anticipated intense resistance, nor was there a welcoming of the survivors as if it were a routine procedure.
The survivors in the town appeared very numb. Giving them things didn't earn any gratitude, but they didn't refuse either—like a group of vagrants coming to receive aid.
Most survivors felt it was rightful for someone to deliver supplies to them, and even blamed the exploration team for arriving too late and the supplies being too poor.
If they had food to eat, they would surely despise the potato cans—this indifferent, even 'disdainful' attitude was quite troublesome for the exploration team.
