Many ordinary survivors may be unaware of this, but some knowingly did it anyway.

The people Yang Muyi called to dispose of the body last time were these very people who specialize in collecting corpses. Anyone who pays attention to the black market can basically understand what they're doing.

That's why Yang Muyi repeatedly refused her two children's requests to eat meat buns.

Seeing Zhang Ze's pathetic expression, Yang Muyi deliberately laughed and said, "You don't really believe that was wild boar meat, do you? The temperature outside the base was 55 degrees Celsius before, the wild boar would have been roasted long ago!"

"No... I thought it was rat meat, which is the legendary duck neck." Zhang Ze tried to calm himself down, feeling he couldn't lose face. "Tongtong and Huizai said they wanted to eat it, thank goodness I didn't buy it..."

Shen Jing stood by the door and shook her head: "Doesn't the base also keep rats?"

Zhang Ze had also heard of this, "Yes...that's why I guessed that."

It's an open secret that the base raises rats specifically to feed the survivors.

However, the welfare provided by the base is getting less and less; having a couple of bites of meat is already considered very good. As for where the meat comes from, as long as you don't get sick or in pain after eating it, that's fine; the days of hunger are a hundred times less unbearable.

However, Zhang Ze added, "Those rats are specially bred, unlike the ones in the ditches outside."

This is something Zhang Run had told him as well.

However, Zhang Run never brought this kind of meat home, so Zhang Ze had never eaten it.

When Yang Muyi called Zhang Ze over to help dispose of the body, she casually remarked, "You probably ate it without even noticing."

Zhang Ze was speechless: "..."
