“There aren’t many resources nowadays… We haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”
Xu Da suddenly said this.
Everyone held their breath, all eyes fixed on the dead Cheng Tao.
There was panic, fear, nausea and a hint of confusion about the future in their eyes.
"Aunt Bai... let's eat meat patties tomorrow." Xu Da's old voice sounded steadily in Aunt Bai's ears.
Aunt Bai looked a little unhappy, and she glanced at the few women below.
Their faces all turned a little pale.
She pondered for a few seconds and then said, "I don't chop meat. Chopping meat is something you men should do..."
"...Of course, you just need to cook. As for the pigs, we men should handle them."
Xu Da's gaze left Aunt Bai and shifted to Cheng Tao lying on the ground: "But who among us will deal with the pigs?"
"How about just Brother Lu and me?" Ma Fuchen came out with a hint of frivolity in his voice. He walked to Louis and patted Louis on the shoulder.
"Me?" Louis pointed at himself in confusion.
Although he had guessed who the "pig" referred to, but...
I just joined, okay, leave this matter to me...
Okay, no problem, you want to drag me into this, right?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
This is so authentic!
Xu Da hesitated for only a second, then nodded, "Okay, then Louis, I'll leave this matter to you and Ma Chenfu."
"...Okay, Uncle Xu."
"Don't worry, uncle. It's all a small matter. Don't worry, when the time comes, it will be like real pork." Ma Fuchen said carelessly.
Then he grabbed Louis' neck and walked to Cheng Tao's body. A trace of pity flashed in Ma Fuchen's eyes, but he seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and carried the body.
"What if you die here and it stinks? I'll take care of it."
"Are you going to throw it to the monster to eat?" Xiaoduo's innocent voice sounded from behind Ma Fuchen and Louis.
Ma Fuchen and Louis' bodies froze at the same time.
Monster...?
Ma Fuchen and Louis' postures were surprisingly consistent at this moment. Ma Fuchen chuckled, "How could that be? Although Uncle Cheng Tao made a mistake, he will not be fed to the monster. I will help him find a place to rest in peace."
"Ohhhh—okay."
"Brother Ma... do you know where my mother went? Did she abandon me and my father and go away... or was she eaten by a monster?"
Xiaoduo's voice was extremely soft, but at this moment it was like a sharp dagger that kept stabbing Ma Fuchen.
Ma Fuchen's face darkened. He barely raised his head and walked forward, a little panic-stricken, saying comforting words: "How could it be, Xiaoduo's mother just went away, she will definitely be back soon."
"Soon? How long will that take? A very long time... Xiaoduo doesn't want to wait any longer... And is Uncle Cheng Tao sick?"
"Xiaoduo, uncle still has a mission. As for Cheng Tao, he has done something bad, so he will be punished. Louis, let's go..."
Snap——
As the wooden gate closed.
Ma Fuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He carried the corpse in one hand and supported his knee with the other, his eyes full of panic.
He glanced at Louis who was looking at him. Ma Fuchen didn't say anything, but just quietly raised his waist and carried the corpse towards a locked room in the corridor.
Louis followed closely behind.
Ma Fuchen took out the key and unlocked the door.
Louis was pulled in by Ma Fuchen.
Then the door was closed instantly.
With a crisp sound, the door was locked.
“Crack—”
Ma Fuchen casually turned on the light switch beside him.
He explained: "The electricity in the building is connected to a manually generated battery. Forget it, you won't understand if I explain too much. Anyway, you just need to know that there is electricity in the building, but it is very little, so generally no one turns on the lights."
As Ma Fuchen spoke, Louis glanced around the room.
There were several fleshless corpses scattered on the ground like randomly discarded dolls.
There was not a single intact body.
However, they all have one characteristic, that is, there is no blood or flesh in the edible parts.
"This is..." Although Louis had already guessed it, he still pretended to be panicked, took two steps back, and pretended to be surprised.
"Don't pretend. I know there is no rescue team. Besides, the world outside is not the same as Black City. It is clearly harmonious outside, haha."
Ma Fuchen seemed to know what was happening in the outside world, and he went straight to the point.
Louis's face darkened slightly, "Who are you?"
"Me? Ma Fuchen." Ma Fuchen put the corpse down from his shoulder. He took out a small round box from his pocket, pulled out a small rectangular piece of white paper, put some tobacco in it, and then put a roll of it to his lips.
He snapped his fingers, and a spark appeared at Ma Fuchen's fingertips.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Tell me, who are you? You shouldn't be a rat from the Court of All Living Things. After all, if you were them, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
"I haven't been out for a long time, and I don't know how things are going out there."
"What exactly is your purpose in coming in?" Ma Fuchen asked.
Louis' eyes showed a hint of scrutiny as he glanced at Ma Fuchen, then replied, "Shouldn't you reintroduce yourself first?"
"Which camp do you belong to?"
"Me? Qian Ye, have you heard of it?" Ma Fuchen said.
