Chapter 831 Murder
Shen Yanming was not convinced and said sourly: “Ours can also be upgraded.”
Bi Qiaoan tried to hold back his laughter, thinking that his family hadn't had an upgrade in several years and he didn't even know what the conditions for the upgrade were.
But she didn't want to argue with Shen Yanming, so she could only go along with him and say, "Yes, ours is the best. But husband, it's so bare there, I almost want to give him some of the species we have."
Shen Yanming paused while touching his chin, "Dear, don't be impulsive, we have a long way to go."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Okay."
The conversation between the two ended. Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Yanming frowned and thought.
For a long time, he used his consciousness to search through the space, looking for medicine that might be useful to Xiong Jianwei.
Feeling it was unreliable, he used his consciousness to prepare a new one. He used all the medicinal herbs grown in space and added a lot of spiritual spring water.
Zhang Heping saw Shen Yanming standing blankly under the tree and pushed him: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Yanming's consciousness almost knocked over the medicine-preparing tools. He finally calmed down and said with a sinister smile: "Old Ji found my wife."
"That's a good thing. Why are you smiling so coldly?" Zhang Heping shivered with fear.
"You're wrong." Shen Yanming stopped sneering and put on a gentle expression again.
Zhang Heping also suspected that he was delusional. Otherwise, why would his old Shen be jealous of Old Ji and Qiao An being together?
He shook his head and left, not knowing that Shen Yanming was just venting his anger on the medicinal herbs that were almost knocked over.
Here, after Li Sikai heard Bi Qiaoan say that they had discovered a large area of grain crops, he took his men away early in the morning.
They followed the path Bi Qiaoan pointed out and walked for a long time before arriving at the "scene of the crime."
The stench of a corpse could be smelled from a long distance away, but the four were familiar with the smell, so they didn't take it seriously.
However, when he saw three "balls" crawling with bugs, Ji Kangyong was shocked: "This is a murder case!"
Li Sikai held him back and repeated what Bi Qiaoan had said last night.
"Among these three, two are cannibals, and the other one brought people to cause trouble for Bi Qiaoan, so they buried the person here. But they didn't expect it to rain heavily, and the person was soaked to death."
Li Sikai didn't think at all that the person was killed by the rain, but this didn't affect his partiality and protection.
Ji Kangyong listened to the other party's opening and closing in disbelief, and after a long while he said: "Qiao An has experienced such a big crisis? My God, it's a good thing she is fine, otherwise Lao Shen would have killed me."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"During the tsunami, I volunteered to come to Qiao An, but was delayed for some reason. I always thought that Qiao An had been studying in the Guard for two years, and no one should bully her."
He was too embarrassed to mention the two white flowers. Of course, the road was also filled with mud and impassable.
Li Sikai chuckled: "She's a woman, no matter how strong she is, how far can she go. Besides, two fists are no match for four hands. Don't use your standards to judge others in the future. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Ji Kangyong nodded to show that he had learned his lesson.
Li Sikai took out the tools, and the four of them worked together to deal with the body. There was no other way. Leaving it here was too scary, and it would pollute the environment. Don't let the ruins of the city rot and breed another kind of epidemic because the bodies were not properly handled.
So even if you feel nauseous, you have to endure it.
After dealing with the corpse, they walked forward for another half an hour and found a patch of green in the distance. After getting closer and identifying them carefully, they confirmed that they were all grain crops and various fruits and vegetables.
Li Sikai was not greedy. He picked a few of each kind and planted them in the space.
The crops in his space multiply very quickly. Even if there is only one seedling, it can grow into a large area. Let's keep the crops here as a granary for mankind.
Calling it a granary is a bit of an exaggeration, after all, it is not very large. But now, the cultivated land has been destroyed and the plants have been submerged, and not many have been preserved. So the species here are really important.
As they were pulling the fruits out, several people said, "Oh my god, this is corn, this is potato, this is lychee, right?"
"And this, is it a watermelon or a pumpkin?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, it's food."
"And these mushrooms, they are chicken liver mushrooms, they taste better than wild mushrooms in the mountains. Let's dig some soil and grow them in the space."
They put all the plants into the space before they stopped. Looking at the mess they made, they all touched their noses at the same time, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Sikai thought about it, fetched a few basins of water from the space, and poured them one by one. Seeing the seedlings stretching again, he nodded with satisfaction and prepared to leave.
"Now that we're done, let's go back."
Li Sikai thought for a moment and said, "Let's look around. Since there are people eating people here, maybe there are also people eating people in other places. Let's go and take a look."
Ji Kangyong's heart trembled when he heard this, and a picture emerged in his mind.
That is, he came down from the mountain and saw a young man washing meat by the river. When he saw him, he was panicked, hid the meat behind him, and looked at him anxiously and vigilantly.
At the time, he just thought that the other party was afraid of him sautéing the meat. But now thinking about it, it is very likely that there is something wrong with the meat.
After all, mice, squirrels, and voles are very small, and they are not a large, flat piece. As for other animals, it is possible, but he doesn't need to be so frightened.
Ji Kangyong looked at Li Sikai and said, "I suspect that there are also cannibals in the place I left."
Li Sikai nodded, not surprised at all: "When people are forced into a desperate situation, they will not consider morality and law. You don't have to blame yourself too much. This kind of thing can happen anywhere."
"But if I don't find out, he might continue to harm people."
"You also said it's possible. Now is the end of the world, after the disaster, everyone is desperately trying to survive. This desperateness includes using any means necessary."
Li Sikai looked at Ji Kangyong seriously: "I know you are upright, but in many cases, uprightness cannot make you live a better life. Frankly speaking, if I were at my wit's end, I would probably do something evil like cannibalism."
"But they haven't reached the end of their rope yet."
"This is the evil of human nature." Li Sikai smiled and said, "Don't worry, evildoers will be punished by God. What we need to do is to keep our original intention."
Ji Kangyong nodded: "Okay, I understand."
A few people walked around the outskirts of the city, and soon they met a group of pale and thin people.
After chatting, he knew that they were hiding from each other and wandering here because they didn't want to be in the same boat with the bearded man and persecute their compatriots. Li Sikai felt sympathetic and took out ten kilograms of rice and some wild vegetables from his backpack to give to them.
"The road outside is almost dry now. You should adjust and prepare to report to the escort team."
The group was so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They kept bowing to the men, muttering, "Benefactors!"
Li Sikai didn't care, waved his hand and left.
