Unlike Jiang Chuyi, others thought more about it.
In the apocalypse, it’s good enough to be able to eat something, no matter how bad it tastes, it’s not a problem.
The question is, they have food to eat, so why do they still go to convenience stores?
He squatted there but didn't take anything, and after someone got the things, he came out and demanded an explanation for the crime.
This matter was full of doubts from beginning to end, but after seeing the attitude of these people at this moment, a terrible idea gradually emerged in the minds of several people.
They no longer hesitated, and in the brief glances at each other, they received the signal of communication.
Lu Qianzhi and Su Mo stepped forward quickly, but as soon as they made a move, they were stopped by bullets fired by others.
The two of them threw several people into a pile. When they were furious and wanted to attack, a circle of bright flames ignited around them, like a cage, trapping them tightly inside.
Several people fell silent in an instant, their pale, terrified faces reflected in the bright firelight.
Jiang Chuyi looked at the intensity of the flame and felt a little surprised.
The last time I saw this male protagonist, he couldn't use any energy at all, but now he is close to the second level.
She turned her head again to look at He Sizhao who was holding her tightly, but just looked at him coldly without moving.
I don’t know what level this guy has reached. Every time when we think he has reached his limit, he always manages to turn the tables.
There was no suspense in their dealing with these people. After making sure there was no danger inside, He Sizhao picked up Jiang Chuyi and jumped into the container.
After coming in, the smell suddenly became stronger. Jiang Chuyi covered his nose with both hands and began to twist his body to get out.
He Sizhao did not stop him, but said softly: "You decide whether you want to understand these things, but don't stay too far away from me."
Lu Qianzhi quickly stood in front of the pot, his expression tense: "Major General, it's not good to let Xiaoyi see these things."
"Living in this era, she's bound to see these things sooner or later." He Sizhao said in a light voice, "She can choose not to see them, but not seeing them doesn't mean they don't exist. Lu Qianzhi, do you want to restrict her?"
This was the first time He Sizhao called out Lu Qianzhi's full name, which contained an invisible majesty.
Lu Qianzhi was stunned on the spot. He turned to Jiang Chuyi silently, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.
Jiang Chuyi covered his nose with his hands and blinked at He Sizhao.
She just lacked life experience, not that her brain was not working well. She understood what He Sizhao said.
She could feel that He Sizhao really didn't want her to see what was cooking in the pot, so he deliberately didn't look at her and just told her to make her own decision.
This suddenly reminded her of when she was a child, she was locked in a laboratory and was very interested in everything in the outside world, but the researchers did not allow her to touch or understand anything. They just smiled and said that those things would hurt her and she was safe here.
Until she grew up, she gradually realized that those things would not hurt her. It was just that those people were afraid that if she had more contact with the outside world, her heart would become wild, and sooner or later she would rebel against them and want to escape.
He Shizhao was obviously protecting her as well.
But he did not use this as a reason to restrict her actions.
Hadn't he acted terrified of her leaving before? Why wasn't he afraid now that she'd become wilder if she knew too much? Wasn't he worried she'd run away again?
Jiang Chuyi looked at He Sizhao with an inquiring look. Seeing that he really had no intention of stopping her, she still couldn't suppress her curiosity and held her breath and took a few steps towards the pot.
Lu Qianzhi tried to stop her but was rebuked, and the others were not going to try to stop her. They all watched her approach as if they were watching a stain of ink on pure white drawing paper, and their expressions were a little ugly.
Jiang Chuyi took one look and his eyes widened.
"Is this... a human?"
It was unknown how long the food in the pot had been cooked. The exposed bones had turned black and emitted a foul odor.
But the fingers floating in the soup and the small head next to it without even the scalp shaved off revealed the true identity of the thing in the pot.
Still a young child.
Suddenly, the soup in the pot gurgled, and the head turned over by the heat.
Suddenly the child's face floated up, the melted skin and sticky eyeballs stuck together, revealing most of the dark eye sockets, staring straight at Jiang Chuyi.
Jiang Chuyi subconsciously took a step back and was immediately covered by a pair of big hands.
"It's okay." He Sizhao seemed even more nervous than she was, his voice thick with tension. He held Jiang Chuyi in his arms, as if she had been greatly frightened, and gently patted her back, "It's okay."
On the other side, Su Mo had already asked these people a few questions.
"They're not from the teahouse." Su Mo's face was also filled with disgust. "They're just refugees from somewhere who have started to act recklessly. The symptoms we discovered earlier turned out to be signs of prion poisoning, which makes sense."
"I still don't understand." Lu Qianzhi said softly, "There's clearly food in this area. There was food in the mall before, in the convenience store last night, and I'm sure there's more. They're just a few people, and they can survive for a long time if they share the food. Why would they want to eat... people?"
"Why should I ask you? You guys have plenty of supplies and guns, so why would you care about the lives of ordinary people like us?"
Instead of repenting, these people became even louder and louder.
"Have you ever been forced into a desperate situation? Have you ever been beaten even for eating grass? You know nothing!"
"Exactly, how can we survive if we don't eat people? By love? Hahahahaha!"
"Eating humans is a path of no return. Once they get used to the taste of human flesh, they won't be able to eat anything else. Is there anything strange about that?"
A sweet and soft female voice rang out amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves, appearing particularly low, yet impossible to ignore.
Jiang Chuyi felt He Sizhao's hand pause, and many eyes fell on him.
She pushed He Sizhao away, revealing a face without any fear or disgust, and her eyes were still clear, as if no filth could enter her sight.
"Xiaoyi..." Lu Qianzhi was a little dazed, as if he didn't know her.
Anyone could tell that she was answering Lu Qianzhi.
Jiang Chuyi tilted her head, as if asking why she was called?
"Xiaoyi, how do you know all this?" Cheng Yi spoke hastily.
After all, He Sizhao and Su Mo had already told them her "growth experience". Considering that she was raised in hiding, it was impossible for her to say such words.
"They've done this kind of experiment many times." Jiang Chuyi said honestly, "Although I haven't seen it, they don't shy away from me when talking about it. I know what's so strange about it."
"them".
The "they" Jiang Chuyi was referring to were the researchers from the previous life, but when He Shizhao heard this, it took on other meanings.
His breath was choked as he looked into Jiang Chuyi's clear, dark eyes, which were filled with a subtle and dense pain.
It seems that Xiaoyi's growing environment is even worse than the worst outcome he could have imagined.
The young girl doesn't know how to dress, doesn't have normal emotions, doesn't know common sense, and doesn't realize how dangerous her behavior and environment are.
But she can speak calmly about things that would terrify grown men, and treat it as the most normal everyday thing.
Her life has been completely distorted by those demons. If no one helps her, she will be trapped deeper and deeper in them and will never see the light out.
"I didn't expect this woman to know what was going on. We underestimated her."
A hoarse and greedy voice was heard, and a man looked straight at Jiang Chuyi, his face full of unconcealable greed.
"It's been a long time since I met such a delicate and tender woman. The previous child was probably not as tender as her. Whether it was eaten or used, it must be..."
Bang.
Before he could finish his words, a hole suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, his frantic eyes also became empty, and he fell backwards.
He Sizhao put away the gun with a cold face.
Jiang Chuyi looked at her. She didn't feel anything when He Sizhao beat Zhou Chao to death before, but now she understood much more. This replayed scene made her clearly feel He Sizhao's mood.
He wanted to protect her. She could take the initiative to look at dangerous things, but he would not allow the danger to hurt her.
Jiang Chuyi felt a strange feeling in her heart, but before she could think about it, the other stunned people started screaming wildly.
They didn't expect that people in military uniforms would actually dare to kill people. The reason why they dared to challenge them before was not only because their minds would become crazy after eating people, but also because they believed that they were wearing military uniforms and would not really attack them.
"Kill them." Lu Qianzhi's voice was also filled with strong anger, "These beasts are no longer human."
With a few gunshots, the screams and cries of grief suddenly disappeared.
"Let's look around here." Su Mo said, "This child doesn't look like theirs, otherwise he would have been gone long ago. Maybe there are other survivors nearby. Let's see if we can find any clues."
"Colonel Su is right." Lu Qianzhi looked down at the pot, his brows furrowed. "...It feels like it was robbed or stolen."
He Sizhao didn't move. He looked at Jiang Chuyi, as if worried that she would come over to look for it with him out of curiosity.
However, he was overthinking it. Jiang Chuyi thought it was dirty and stood there without moving.
Seeing him looking over, she stretched out her hand and said, "Hold me."
He Sizhao's heart softened instantly.
Just as he picked up the person, Cheng Yi on the other side suddenly let out a loud scream. He froze there, staring blankly at something in his hand.
Jiang Chuyi raised her chin towards that side, and He Sizhao understood and carried her over.
There was a box in front of Cheng Yi. It looked like a woman's jewelry box. Inside it were various bracelets, necklaces and other things. They were all covered in mud, and some were stained with dried blood. It made people wonder how they got them.
Jiang Chuyi tilted her head to look at Cheng Yi's hand, which was a locket.
"What's going on?" He Sizhao asked.
Cheng Yi raised his head, revealing a pair of red eyes.
"I've said before that I had a cousin who was in Luyang City before the apocalypse broke out. I always thought he was dead."
He took out the locket, and inside was a photo of a smiling woman that looked quite old.
"This is his thing. This is a photo of his mother who passed away over 20 years ago. He wears it all the time."
One can imagine what happened to the owners of the things collected by these people.
At this moment, someone nearby exclaimed again.
"Everyone come and see...what is this?"
