The improvement of the compressed biscuit formula had consumed part of Perfikot's energy, but after the first snowstorm, she still found time to come to the city wall, where she saw the outer city residents gathering near the gate connecting the inner and outer city districts.
"When did they start gathering here?" Perfikot asked the city official beside her, her expression somewhat indifferent.
She was wrapped in heavy furs, not feeling cold herself, but looking at the starved and shivering outer city residents wearing only simple clothes, her heart felt a chill.
"They started gathering when the snowstorm weakened. Most of them are residents from surrounding areas; because they're close, they arrived relatively quickly. The earliest arrivals could have been here since last night," the city official explained, having earlier asked the soldiers stationed nearby for information.
