To be honest, the standard of living at Meridia Base was already quite good. One could say they did their utmost to provide for every resident.
However, the provided meals consisted of little more than congee and steamed buns.
Meat was completely out of the question. Forget the ordinary residents—even the higher-ups rarely got to eat any.
Over time, some people couldn't stand it and naturally began to harbor other ideas.
Mr. Magnus understood this. Although Meridia Base was managed with a strict hand, once the population swelled, many things would spiral out of control.
He understood, but it still pained him.
After a long moment, he said to Stella Sterling, "Sterling, we really owe you our thanks."
If not for her, Chief Ford's situation would have been dire. He couldn't bear the thought of taking action against him, but if forced into a corner, he would have had no choice but to open fire in the end.
