Chapter 176: Fewer Corpse Dismemberments
The little turtle, which was originally spinning in circles, seemed to have understood what the old Taoist priest said. It stopped spinning and lay down obediently at the old Taoist priest's feet.
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang didn't sleep for long. They were both worried about something and the situation outside. They also wanted the old Taoist priest to have a rest for a while, so they woke up not long after sleeping.
The two had just opened their eyes and before they had time to say anything, the old Taoist priest spoke first.
"Since you are awake, you can watch for a while. I will go to sleep first."
After saying this, the old Taoist adjusted his posture and closed his eyes.
After a while, the old Taoist's breathing became even and slow, and he had obviously fallen asleep.
Mu Qianqian was stunned, although she also knew that the old Taoist priest must be very sleepy after persisting for so long.
But isn’t falling asleep too quickly?
Zhou Ziyang patted Mu Qianqian's shoulder gently, telling her not to make a fuss. At the same time, he stood up, walked to the window quietly, opened the curtains a little and looked out.
The smoke outside has dissipated and the view is no longer obstructed.
Even through the window, one could clearly see the body broken into pieces on the ground outside.
The temperature in the underground city is much higher than that on the ground, but they are on the underground floor. Although there is a layer of ice several dozen meters between them and the ground, they are still close to the ice layer, so the temperature is not particularly high, probably around minus ten degrees Celsius.
At this temperature, not much blood flowed out after the bodies were blown to pieces.
After an hour or two, it was frozen hard, the scene was not so bloody, and even the smell was not as strong as before.
Zhou Ziyang was staring outside when he saw some people running out from the stairs in a panic.
They looked even more miserable than before they went down. After running out one by one, they collapsed to the ground and cursed at the people below.
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, Zhou Ziyang could guess most of it just by looking at this scene.
It is obvious that these people did not have a smooth journey after going down. They probably did not gain any advantage, otherwise they would not have returned like this.
But to Zhou Ziyang's surprise, the people below didn't catch up.
In this way, the two sides formed a strange balance, each doing their own thing.
Those who ran back to this floor were not without gain. They snatched back a lot of food and fuel from below and were able to barely survive.
They would occasionally look towards the room where Mu Qianqian and the other two were, but they did not take any next step.
The body parts scattered outside the house successfully blocked everyone's curiosity.
After all, they were not sure how many people and how many bombs were in the room.
Several days passed in peace like this, and Mu Qianqian and the other two divided the work to monitor the situation outside every day.
But suddenly one day, Mu Qianqian discovered something was wrong.
The number of body parts outside is decreasing.
After discovering this, Mu Qianqian became a little worried, wondering if she had seen it wrong or remembered it incorrectly, so she quickly called Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest.
"Look, have the number of body parts outside decreased a lot?"
Zhou Ziyang looked at Mu Qianqian with a complicated expression and did not answer immediately.
Compared with Zhou Ziyang's heavy expression, the old Taoist priest looked much more relaxed.
The old Taoist priest glanced outside casually and said, "What's so strange about this? It was already missing before, but you just didn't notice it."
Although her guess was confirmed, Mu Qianqian did not feel relieved.
On the contrary, Mu Qianqian had a vague guess in her heart.
"Those missing body parts, could it be——"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "We can't say that the body parts are less, we can only say that they have moved to a new place."
Mu Qianqian was unable to accept the old Taoist's metaphor.
It was clearly eaten into the stomach, how can it be said that it was moved to another place?
Mu Qianqian felt that she had a lot to say, but the moment she opened her mouth, nothing came out.
She wanted to condemn those people outside for eating their own kind.
But what happens after she condemns it?
Should we kill all those people outside, or provide them with food so that they stop eating each other?
No matter which one it is, she can't do it now.
After realizing this, Mu Qianqian felt as if she had been drained of energy and appeared to be listless.
Zhou Ziyang put his arm around Mu Qianqian's shoulders and said, "Qianqian, the Taoist priest and I discovered this a few days ago. We didn't tell you because we were afraid you would think too much. I didn't expect you to discover it so quickly."
Mu Qianqian smiled bitterly, "So much is missing. If I don't find out, wouldn't it be the same as being blind?"
Apart from anything else, only the head was left of Li Chuang's body.
Mu Qianqian was not familiar with the other people, but she remembered the location of Li Chuang's body very clearly.
Seeing Zhou Ziyang still wanted to comfort herself, Mu Qianqian pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Ziyang, you don't have to comfort me, I'm not that fragile.
I just wonder if these people living in the underground city have any food left to eat...
Does Nan Ci, who is stranded outside, have any food to eat?"
This question silenced Zhou Ziyang. After a long while, he whispered, "Nan Ci is very powerful. She has four cats helping her. There must be food."
The old Taoist priest looked at the two of them quietly, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
Nan Ci, who was worried about the situation, finally finished dealing with the poultry in the space.
Now there are only a dozen or so poultry of each kind left, and their living space has become larger. Nan Ci will no longer have to worry about this for a long time.
This made Nan Ci feel greatly relieved.
Even if she had plenty of time and skilled skills, she didn't want to slaughter livestock every day.
What's the difference between that and a butcher?
It has been more than ten days since the snowstorm began, but the wind and snow outside show no signs of abating.
Every time she looked out the window, Nan Ci felt that she was the only living person in the world.
Even so, Nan Ci would wear glasses every day and stand by the window looking out.
As he looked, Nan Ci suddenly discovered that there was a black dot in the distance approaching this side.
Nan Ci was shocked when he suddenly saw this scene, but he also thought he was dazzled.
Nan Ci quickly took off his glasses, took out a telescope from the space and looked outside.
With the help of the telescope, Nan Ci could clearly see the situation in the distance.
It was not a black dot, but a person sitting on a huge black dog.
The giant dog was running towards this side, but its body was blown away from its original direction by the strong wind from time to time.
