The bearded man looked at the crowd as if they were idiots: "If we let you go, what will we eat?"
At first, the group didn't realize what it meant, but when they saw the bearded man and the others' wolf-like eyes, their minds exploded.
No, really? Cannibalism?
Che Cunzhou shook himself, trying to minimize his presence.
After the others realized what was happening, they fought back with all their might, but they had been starving for a long time and had little strength, so they were no match for the bearded man who had just eaten meat.
Before long, he was at a disadvantage and was pinned to the ground.
Although Che Cunzhou didn't make a move, the bearded man didn't let him off the hook either.
The bearded man's gaze swept over everyone: "Who should we eat first today?"
"Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I...I...I haven't showered for days, I'm dirty!"
"Me too, me too, I'm covered in mud, smelly, dry and all bones, not tasty."
"I didn't brush my teeth or wash my face, I..."
"Shut up, stop making noise!" The bearded man roared, silencing the noisy crowd.
The bearded man was quite pleased with this situation. He chuckled and said, "Why don't you guys choose yourselves?"
A moment of silence fell over the scene, then those who were pinned to the ground began to shout excitedly, "Him! He! He! He!"
"Ha, I thought you two had such a good relationship, but it turns out it's nothing special!"
The bearded man's contempt made everyone present look grim, but faced with a threat, who would want to die if they could live?
Suddenly, the bearded man's gaze fell on Che Cunzhou, who was pretending to be dead. He got up, walked to Che Cunzhou's side, squatted down, and patted his face: "What, you're not convinced?"
"No, no, no, I give up, boss. Can I follow you?" Che Cunzhou forced a stiff smile.
The bearded man laughed heartily: "Young man, you have good taste. However, if you want to follow me, you'll have to prove your worth!"
Che Cunzhou's eyes darted around, and he said, "Boss, um, I have some news I want to tell you."
The bearded man raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
"Well, there used to be a lot of people here, but most of them died from the plague after eating fish. The rest are what you see here, living in this park and gnawing on tree bark."
Actually, we had another group of girls who ran away when the plague was discovered.
We're surrounded by swamps; they must still be on the 'island.' Let's go find them, what do you say?"
The bearded man was somewhat tempted, but not entirely convinced: "Then why don't you go look for them?"
Che Cunzhou gave an awkward laugh: "We looked for it, but we couldn't find it."
"Didn't you say the 'island' wasn't very big? How come we haven't found anyone?"
Che Cunzhou: "...We were just lazy. We searched for half an hour and then we couldn't look anymore." This "isolated island" wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either.
The bearded man nodded: "Alright, take me to find them. If we find them, we'll eat together. If we don't find many, then you... hehe."
Che Cunzhou shuddered: "We'll find it! We'll find it! We'll definitely find it!"
The bearded man asked around for opinions, and they all agreed. Even Che Cunzhou's former companions, to avoid being eaten, decided to join the cannibals' gang.
The group took a short break in the park. Che Cunzhou seized the opportunity to ask, "Boss, where were you guys before?"
The bearded man didn't hide anything: "It's on the east side of the city."
Che Cunzhou nodded. They were in the north, so Bi Qiaoan was either in the south or the west.
Just think about how she gave her beautiful face and great figure to that bearded man; it's really a bit of a shame.
Che Cunzhou's eyes darted around, and he suggested to the bearded man, "Boss, haven't you been doing 'that' lately? If we catch a few young girls, how about... hehehe?"
The bearded man glanced at Che Cunzhou unexpectedly, and instantly found him quite pleasing to the eye, so he nodded: "It's not impossible."
Hearing that there was a chance, Che Cunzhou pressed his advantage: "Boss, I've got my eye on a young lady. How about... hmm?"
The bearded man patted Che Cunzhou on the shoulder: "You've got guts, kid!"
Che Cunzhou's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I will listen to the boss. If you don't allow it, I will stay put."
The bearded man said with some approval, "Hmm, not bad, knows when to advance and retreat. So, what do you think of that woman you've got your eye on?"
Che Cunzhou didn't dare lie: "She's quite pretty, but she's already a mother."
The bearded man's eyes lit up after hearing this. He wasn't interested in married women, but wouldn't a child's flesh be especially tender?
"Okay, you can have your fun with that girl, but afterwards, we still need to..."
"Mhm, I know!" Che Cunzhou felt a surge of anticipation and asked the bearded man, "Boss, when do we set off?"
The bearded man looked at the bright sun overhead and felt a little lazy, not wanting to move.
"Let's do it in the evening, when the sun isn't too strong anymore." That way, they won't notice and run away beforehand.
No one dared to object. After untying the person bound to their feet, they all rested under the tree.
The two sides even took a truce and were in the mood to discuss whether two-legged lamb was delicious.
How could Big Beard and his gang say it wasn't delicious? In order to get Che Cunzhou and others who hadn't done anything wrong onto their pirate ship, they would definitely exaggerate and say: "Oh, you don't know, the taste is just too wonderful!"
I didn't dare to try it before, but after just one taste, I was hooked. Now I crave that tender, juicy deliciousness day and night!
"Is it really that delicious?" Even though they hadn't tried it yet, just hearing people say that made their mouths water.
"Of course! Otherwise, would we be able to follow our boss? To put it bluntly, it's because our Brother Beard has the courage and boldness to ensure we've had enough to eat and wear during this time!"
The bearded man laughed heartily when he heard the compliment: "That's right, follow me and you'll live a life of luxury!"
"Oh, then thank you in advance for taking care of me, brother!"
"No problem, no problem!" The bearded man waved his hand dismissively.
As evening fell and the sun set, the bearded man set off with Che Cunzhou.
Because the north is too far from the south, they chose to explore the west.
Over here, Bi Qiaoan had just finished dinner and was getting ready for bed when she felt her chest pounding violently, as if some danger was about to occur.
She tried to calm herself down and said to the girls, "I have a bad feeling, like something is about to happen. Everyone be alert, I'm going to take my son to a safe area to hide."
The so-called safe zone was a hollow area supported by precast slabs, cement, and steel bars that Bi Qiaoan found while rummaging through construction debris.
It looks very safe, hidden in the ruins of the building and not easily discovered, but it is only big enough to accommodate a baby as big as An'an.
Of course, this was just an official statement from Bi Qiaoan.
After taking An'an away, she secretly said to him, "Mom feels there's danger tonight. Go hide in your dreams first, don't be afraid! If it really doesn't work, go stay with Dad and wait until dawn before returning to the mobile villa."
