Chapter 35 They actually eat human flesh?
Night fell quickly. It was hailing outside and you could hear the "rustling" sound of hail hitting the roof.
Even in the library, the place was unbearably cold at night.
Ding Manman snuggled in Qin Muxue's arms. She seemed to have a high fever, which was a reaction to her evolving superpowers.
Qu Yanbai boiled water and poured a cup of it for Ding Manman. "Drink more water, you will get better faster."
They were on the second floor and had no idea what was happening on the first floor. Qin Muxue asked Zhenzhu to secretly observe from the first floor in a small form to see what these people were up to.
Grandma Qu cooked a pot of hot porridge, poured a bowl of it, added some sugar, and handed it to Ding Manman, "Drink some sweet porridge to maintain your body's energy."
Ding Manman said: "Thank you, I'm sorry to have you take care of me."
Grandma Qu shook her head. "We all help each other. If it weren't for you and Xiao Qin, we would have been washed away by the flood."
Although Grandma Qu is old, her mind is not confused and her heart is as clear as a mirror.
Xie Lulu climbed up holding some quilts. "It's cold at night. You can cover yourself with some quilts. I see Manman has a fever too. Qin Muxue, you take good care of her."
Qin Muxue didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, but she heard from Captain Huang that she had once reminded him that it was dangerous here, so maybe she could get some information out of Xie Lulu.
Xie Lulu looked at the pot of porridge and swallowed. She was the only one who still looked thin, as if she was not full.
Grandma Qu seemed to notice her abnormality, "Little girl, are you hungry? Do you want to have a bowl of porridge?"
"No, no need!" Xie Lulu waved her hands quickly, like a frightened deer.
"Don't be polite. Look at how thin my daughter is. She is just skin and bones." Grandma Qu held her wrist and found that her wrist was like a skeleton, with no flesh at all.
Because of her clothes, no one could see that Xie Lulu actually looked very skinny.
Grandma Qu insisted on giving her some hot porridge. Who would have thought that Xie Lulu would be so moved that she started crying while holding the hot porridge. "Thank you."
After taking a mouthful of porridge, she covered her chest with her hands, looking uncomfortable, with tears in her eyes. She wiped her tears and carefully put down the bowl.
Before leaving, he hurriedly walked to Qin Muxue and whispered to her, "Let's go! It's really not safe here. They are going to take action."
Just when Qin Muxue wanted to continue asking, Yu Fangze discovered something. "Xie Lulu, who told you to go upstairs? Get down now."
Seeing a group of people looking at her suspiciously, Yu Fangze realized that the noise she had made just now was too loud and aroused their suspicion.
"What I mean is, tell her not to disturb your rest. You should just rest first!"
Then he took Xie Lulu's hand and left in a hurry.
Before leaving, Xie Lulu's eyes showed a sad look, as if she was reminding them.
Even Chi Ze, who was always short-circuited, felt something was wrong, "Why are the people here so weird?"
Yu Fangze pulled Xie Lulu aside and looked at her gloomily, "You are very brave. You have gone to see them three or four times without my consent. Don't think that you can disobey me just because Tianlu Tu has been looking for you recently. If I find out that you acted on your own again, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Looking at the smile on the other person's lips, Xie Lulu nodded tremblingly.
At this time, no one has human rights and everyone has to listen to whoever is stronger.
"Oh, by the way, why don't you send them some food!" Yu Fangze pointed to a mysterious little room deep inside the library. "There's still a lot of food in there. Since you like being close to them so much, why don't you send it over!"
Xie Lulu was trembling all over and shook her head tremblingly, "Please, don't let me go."
"If you don't go, you'll be next."
Xie Lulu walked into the small room numbly and turned on the light. She closed her eyes and casually took a piece of pickled meat next to her, then walked to the stairs while suppressing her nausea.
"Go quickly, give them some food." Yu Fangze showed a vicious smile on his face, "I will punish you when I come back."
Xie Lulu trembled as she took the pickled meat and went upstairs. Everyone saw her coming back and asked curiously, "What happened?"
She picked up a piece of meat and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I'm afraid you have nothing to eat, so I'm bringing you some pickled meat." In fact, her hands had already begun to tremble, not because the basin was too heavy, but because she felt nauseous and could not hold on any longer.
"Pickled meat?" Qu Yanbai looked at the pot of meat curiously. He could tell that the girl was enduring something.
A foul smell hit him in the face, and Qu Yanbai frowned, "How come you have meat here?"
She prepared her words and explained tearfully, "The school's farm raised dozens of pigs... We killed them all, and the meat that couldn't be eaten was made into pickled meat..."
Qin Muxue noticed that her hands were shaking and her eyes were red, so he could only say, "Thank you."
She raised her head weakly again, "What will you do with this piece of meat?"
"You're welcome."
Qu Yanbai was very surprised that she would ask such a question. There were only a few ways to eat meat. "Maybe cooking it into soup?"
Xie Lulu resisted the urge to vomit. She looked behind her and found that no one was looking at her. She said, "If you have other food, you don't have to eat this piece of meat." She put down the pot of marinated meat and immediately ran downstairs.
Everyone was left looking at the pot of pickled meat. Zhang Ziyu said, "The conditions here are pretty good. No wonder everyone looks so energetic. There's even pork to eat."
Qu Yanbai smelled the meat, and combined with Xie Lulu's strange behavior just now, he quickly stopped Zhang Ziyu from touching the meat, "This meat is not as simple as pork."
As a mercenary, he once did a mission near a cannibal tribe in Africa. The people there would eat human flesh, and if they couldn't eat it, they would pickle it. When they went to wipe out the tribe, they found a large amount of meat with this smell.
"Where does the meat look like?"
No one noticed it at first, but when they looked closer, it became more and more strange. How come it looked like a human thigh?
Chi Ze said cautiously: "To be honest, I think it looks a bit like a human thigh..."
After saying this, everyone seemed to understand that this was not pork at all, but real human flesh.
The survivors of the library killed their own kind for food in order to survive.
Even Chi Ze and Zhang Ziyu felt sick to their stomachs. "This is horrible. These students look so normal, but they actually eat human flesh."
Fortunately, Wu You was playing with Qian Xinran in the back and did not notice anything unusual here.
“They are not simple.”
Baozhu, who was warming himself by the fire, suddenly raised his head and groaned non-stop. It seemed that even he felt the danger was about to come.
Pearl could change her body shape freely, and she moved back and forth freely in the huge library. Finally, she found a strange small room from which there was a strong smell of blood.
While someone was going in, she followed that person and sneaked in quietly.
Although she was just a cat, she was still shocked to see such a scene. This place was like a meat storage warehouse, piled high with human corpses. Some had been cut into pieces, while others were piled there whole.
Pearl was so frightened when she saw that one of the corpses had its eyes open that she took several steps back. She had never expected that this library had turned into a hell on earth.
The person who came in was choosing the pieces of meat numbly, "Which one should I choose today?" Compared with hunger, eating one's own kind has become insignificant. In order to survive, everyone can do anything.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear some noise, turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"
Pearl didn't expect this person to be so alert, so she quickly hid in the corner. When she looked up, she found a girl squatting in the corner.
It turned out to be Xie Lulu. The man and the cat looked at each other. Xie Lulu made a "hush" gesture to tell Zhenzhu not to make any sound, and then she hid her inside her clothes.
The boy who was selecting the meat came over and saw Xie Lulu in the corner. He had the same expression again, "Did you make Yu Fangze angry again? She locked you up here again. Why are you so stubborn? What's wrong with eating a piece of meat? There's not much food left, but you're still forcing yourself to eat it. I wonder how long you can hold on."
The boy shook his head, picked a piece of meat and left.
Seeing the footsteps fade away, Pearl came out of her clothes. Xie Lulu looked at the cat-like color on Pearl's body and said weakly, "You look like the stray cats I fed at school before, but after the flood, I never saw you feed them again. How did you survive?"
Pearl tilted her head, "Meow?"
"You are so cute, I like you very much, but it is not safe here, you should leave here quickly! Be careful not to be discovered by those people." She touched Pearl's back reluctantly again, and she found some comfort from her.
Zhenzhu jumped down, then looked at Xie Lulu a few more times, and finally crawled out of the ventilation duct.
After returning to Qin Muxue's side, she transmitted everything she had seen and heard to Qin Muxue.
"Our guess was correct. They killed all the other survivors as food, so the remaining few people had enough food. The meat they brought over was indeed human flesh."
Captain Huang, Chi Ze, and Zhang Ziyu shook their heads after hearing this. They were so dehumanized that they even fell to the point of cannibalizing their own people.
Qu Yanbai and Qin Muxue were not surprised by this. They had experienced it before. In order to survive, humans abandoned all moral ethics and did whatever it took. Such things were commonplace.
If the insect swarm had not arrived in her previous life, Qin Muxue would probably have been buried in the belly of her own kind. She hugged Baozhu tightly and never wanted to see any of her friends die in this way again.
She wanted to see what Yan Tianlu was going to do to them.
Late at night, the entire library was quiet, the lights were off, and everyone seemed to be resting.
Only Yan Tianlu was still struggling on Fangze's body. After he had vented his anger, he pushed her aside, stood up and drank a bottle of water.
Yu Fangze's face was still flushed with joy. She praised: "Tianlu, you are so brave tonight!"
"You screamed too exaggeratedly just now!" Yan Tianlu said with some disgust.
He and Yu Fangze have known each other for many years. He is a little tired of her body. In the past, he had no choice but to obey her in everything. But now, he is like the king here, and those girls are like his harem. He can favor whichever one he wants. Now he seems to want to try something new.
"Didn't I call you nicely before?" Yu Fangze felt unhappy. In order to cooperate with him, she had already lost her shame, but Yan Tianlu was still complaining about this and that. If he didn't have superpowers, how could she be so humble.
"People always change. You can learn from Lulu. She is very gentle."
It's that woman again. One day she will kill her.
"By the way, why haven't I seen Lulu for a day? What did you do to her?"
"No, I just, just, she didn't listen..." Yu Fangze stammered, and Yan Tianlu knew that she was bullying Xie Lulu again.
He snorted coldly and slapped her, causing blood to come out of the corner of Xie Lulu's mouth.
"Don't bully her anymore. If I find out you do this again, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Yes, I don't dare anymore." Yu Fangze covered his face and said weakly.
However, his disgust towards Xie Lulu increased even more. This woman was as annoying as Qin Muxue and Ding Manman.
Yan Tianlu also evolved special powers. He could lift things that were ten times heavier than himself. He was the strongest person among all the survivors. No one dared to mess with him, so he became the leader of this group.
Looking at the time on his watch, Yan Tianlu raised a sinister smile, "It's getting late, we should start now!"
