Chapter 506: Replacement
When Gu Sheng was here, everyone was still discussing how to divide the property. Now that they were being looked at with disgust, it also awakened some of the moral sense that they had long lost as human beings.
"We are just trying to live a better life. Besides, it was those superpowers who wanted to attack us, and we resisted, so we were captured..."
A man hiding at the back of a group of people was anxious to defend himself, but he found that everyone was looking at him with cold eyes and his voice became smaller and smaller until it became silent.
Instead, a burly man standing at the back spoke rationally, "I know you think we are all wrong, but our village is not big. At the beginning, there were zombies, and later we were attacked by mutant animals. So many people were injured every day, there is a lack of medical care and medicine, and the death toll is countless."
"The flesh of high-level psychics is like medicine to us. Eating it can help people live better. If it's your turn, would you eat it?"
"We just want to live a better life, is there anything wrong with that? It's just the law of the jungle." He even smiled at Li Zhuang and the others, "It's the world that's wrong, not us."
Several people gritted their teeth at what he said, but they couldn't refute it. In today's world, is it illegal to eat human beings?
No offense!
They have a bottom line in their hearts, but they are not qualified to accuse those who have no bottom line of being wrong.
"You're right, the strong prey on the weak," Li Zhuang suddenly said, looking at him and said, "Now you are weak."
So you are the ones who are eaten.
The man's expression changed for a moment, and he glanced unconsciously at the golden eagle at the back of the cabin. He took a step back unconsciously, and they saw that he was protecting a young woman behind him. She had fair skin, a slim figure, and looked sick all over.
"I want to know more about Gu Sheng," said Li Zhuang.
"It's all about death, why should I tell you?" The man grinned proudly.
"I can let you choose how to die." Li Zhuang casually glanced at his arm where a layer of skin had been peeled off.
The man's face darkened, and the others immediately shouted that they knew the most and couldn't wait to speak.
"Let me tell you, I was the one who did a lot of things for Gu Sheng. I..."
"Ask me, Gu Sheng's lover Nan Qi is my sister, I know the most." The man was halfway through his words when the woman he was protecting behind him poked her head out and spoke.
"Nan Xiaomo" the man suddenly turned his head and looked at him, and there was a hint of grievance in the tall and strong man's eyes.
The woman called Nan Xiaomo didn't look at him, but turned to look at Li Zhuang and the others, "Cangcuo and Gu Fei have never eaten human flesh, can you let them go?"
"I have! I have eaten the flesh of many people with special abilities," the man said loudly. Seeing Nan Xiaomi's body swaying weakly, his voice suddenly lowered. He hugged the person and sat him on his lap, repeating, "I have eaten human flesh."
"I know you won't. You said at the beginning that eating human flesh will cause prion infection, and you didn't let us touch it." Nan Xiaomio gently touched his prickly head.
"I have eaten it." Cangcuo just repeated this sentence and buried his head in Nan Xiaomo's shoulder.
Nan Xiaomi turned to look at Li Zhuang and asked silently, not forgetting to add bargaining chips for herself, "Gu Sheng is very good to my sister, and as a result, we also know a lot of things that others don't know. Moreover, I have been taking care of Gu Fei, so I also know a lot of things that others don't know."
Li Zhuang did not make this decision. After all, Gu Fei's father forced their people to death, and the Golden Eagles might not mind. Especially the tall man in front of him admitted that the knife was in Gu Sheng's hand.
"We can only make a decision after our base commander is rescued."
Nan Xiaomo thought for a moment and realized that they had no choice now, so he actually told them some things that he had not been able to get out of the interrogation before.
When Nan Qi, Liu Jing and Gu Sheng returned to Changshou Village, it was already the beginning of spring in the second year of the apocalypse. Several surrounding villages gathered together, but were unable to resist the double attack of zombies and mutated animals, so they hid in the caves on their side very early.
By taking advantage of the numerous caves for ambush, although food was scarce, lives were temporarily guaranteed.
After Gu Sheng and his companions came back, they cleaned up the surroundings and lived a peaceful life for a while. Although Gu Sheng's superpowers were strong at that time, he could not match the speed of evolution of the mutant animals. He focused his attention on the superpower users in the village, Li, and began to plot to kill them.
With the cooperation of the mutant plants, these things have never attracted people's attention, especially since he was responsible for growing food crops for the entire village, and his reputation was once very good.
After being seen by Liu Jing, he killed Liu Jing. Liu Jing's consciousness took over his body and told Nan Qi the truth. Nan Qi was so excited that he went to ask for an explanation and was killed by the confused Gu Sheng.
"What does 'delirium' mean?" Li Zhuang was no longer around when Gu Sheng was talking nonsense, but he heard Ning Yuan's comment that he was a psycho.
"He absorbed many crystal cores of psychics. Those crystal cores seemed to have the consciousness of the psychics and could occupy his body when he was not paying attention or was off guard, just like..."
"Possessed by a ghost" Nan Xiaomo couldn't think of the right word, so Cangcuo said it in a muffled voice.
"Yes," Nan Qi closed his eyes and recalled, "The first time he experienced that kind of situation was when Liu Jing occupied his body. After that, it happened more and more frequently, especially for a period of time after he killed my sister. He almost lost consciousness and talked nonsense all day long. Countless people quarreled and communicated through his mouth, some of whom we knew."
"How did you recover later?"
"Xiao Fei saw him kill my sister, so I asked him to lie low and take revenge later, but he didn't listen. He took advantage of Gu Sheng's mental problems and killed him. The consciousness in Gu Sheng's body almost killed Xiao Fei at that time."
"Later, Xiaofei showed weakness and called dad for the first time, which awakened his consciousness."
"Do you know if SSS-level Gu Sheng has any special abilities?" This is the most critical question that Li Zhuang cares about.
Nan Xiaomio lowered his eyes and thought, Cangcuo on the side said, "He can appear and move in the air, and he even has an invisible servant. The servant is aggressive and usually takes care of Xiaofei for him."
"Yes, one time Xiao Fei was chased by a mutant leopard when he went out. It is said that the moment before the leopard reached him, it was killed by something. It was a very powerful leopard and died instantly." This ability is also the reason why no one dared to say anything even though some people in the village later knew that the dead psychic was killed by Gu Sheng.
It should be the energy ball seen on the energy display before.
Li Zhuang summarized what they said, and after confirming it again and again, he felt that the current situation should have nothing to do with Gu Sheng.
Then it could only be caused by Lu Weiyi's upgrade.
Lu Weiyi was the one who upgraded the fastest among them, and he seemed to be in control of everything every time he upgraded. But this time he was obviously worried. He didn't understand the upgrade of the mental system, and now Lu Xi, who was personally taught by him, was also trapped in it. The others were even less clear, which left him completely clueless.
"I have told you all the news I know. Can you let them go?" Nan Xiaomo was obviously in poor health. She was already out of breath after talking for just a short while.
"I won't leave," Cangcuo said first.
"Xiao Mo, I won't leave." He said in a serious tone, but his eyes were filled with tears.
"Acuo, I won't live long. Xiaofei is still a child. You have to take care of him for me," Nan Xiaomo said in a light voice.
"It was Cangcuo who captured those people with special abilities and cut their flesh for people to eat. He is Gu Sheng's lackey. He kills wherever Gu Sheng points at him."
"Uncle Luo! When you were being chased by zombies, it was Acuo who saved your life," Nan Xiaomio scolded harshly.
The man who spoke was the one who had just had a lot of flesh cut by the golden eagle. He covered the place on his body that was still bleeding. When he heard Nan Xiaomo talking, he turned his eyes away and muttered, "Those psychics who were eaten were also buried by Cangcuo. They were all buried in the soil of the small flower. The green roots and stems of the flowers were stained with blood red. It was all done by him..."
Nan Xiaomo looked at the remaining people, hoping that they could say a word or two for Cangcuo and spare his life, but everyone avoided her gaze.
"Sister Qing, your child was taken away by rats in the middle of the night, and it was Acuo who ran into the forest to find him for you; Uncle Thirteen was trapped under the collapsed house, and it was Acuo who dug him out; Xiaoqiang was so hungry that he stole things in the middle of the night and was beaten to death, and Acuo gave his food to you and starved himself..." Nan Xiaomio looked at the few survivors with a choked voice and complained, "He didn't eat human flesh, why can't he be allowed to live!"
No one spoke, only Cangcuo hugged Nan Xiaomo tighter and repeated, "I won't leave."
"Acuo, I can't take it anymore..." Nan Xiaomio burst into tears.
Cangcuo kissed her forehead gently, "Xiao Mo, are you blaming me?"
"You blame me for feeding you human flesh?"
Nan Xiaomo kept shaking her head.
She was the first person in the village to eat the flesh of a mutant, and she was the one whose health improved after being eaten by others.
Nan Xiaomo has been in poor health since childhood. Her congenital disease prevents her from living like a normal person. The doctor has predicted that she will not live past the age of 25. After the end of the world, her body has become weaker day by day.
When Gu Sheng said nonchalantly that the flesh and blood of people with special abilities were very nutritious, Cang Cuo was the first to be tempted. This also made him the first to discover that Gu Sheng was killing people with special abilities, and he became his accomplice.
Especially after eating the flesh and blood of the psychics, Nan Xiaomo's body became visibly healthier. Cangcuo completely became a knife in Gu Sheng's hand, constantly searching for high-level psychics for him.
She had seen this kind-hearted man unable to sleep all night because of self-blame. She had seen him secretly erect tombstones for those people, burn incense and kowtow, and say sorry over and over again. But when he saw her, he would pick up the knife without hesitation.
"I'm the one who drags you down" Nan Xiaomi couldn't stop crying.
Cangcuo stroked her back to help her calm down, then looked up at Li Zhuang and said, "What they said is right. I was the one who killed the person. If you want to kill me or cut me up, I have nothing to say."
"But..." He looked down at the person in his arms, "I took her sins for her."
As he said this, he grabbed the scimitar that the golden eagle had thrown aside when it left, and slashed his arm with it.
