Bai Ying stared at the two big white flour buns. Although they were cold and hard, she knew how precious they were.
"Su Jin, you are such a good person. I will return the crystal core to you when I return to the base in City B."
Bai Ying knew that the things sold in Xinyu's store also had to be exchanged for crystal cores, and this was an extra favor she wanted to help with, so she had no right to do so by borrowing someone else's favor.
"Okay, I never refuse a crystal core."
Su Jin replied with a smile.
Now Bai Ying felt relieved. She stuffed the steamed bun into her pocket and walked out again.
"What's wrong with her? In and out?"
Luo Hongyi frowned and looked at Bai Ying's figure and asked.
"I don't know, I'll ask her later."
Zheng Shu was also confused. Tonight, he, Luo Hongyi, and Gao Zhiming from Han Yue's side were responsible for taking turns to keep watch. Now that everyone was getting ready to rest, they saw Bai Ying running back and forth.
"Sister Xiaojin, five people are walking over there."
Mao Qiqi leaned over and whispered in Su Jin's ear.
"Which way?"
Su Jin immediately became alert.
"That's where Sister Bai Ying just went."
Go to the small room that Bai Ying mentioned? Bai Ying just went there now, right?
Sure enough, the wooden cabinet against the wall was moved away, and Lu Hao and everyone who had not fallen asleep became alert.
However, with the help of a ray of light, everyone found that the men had only gone to a small room blocked by a wooden cabinet and lay down again, but they were still paying attention to the movements over there.
"Oh no, Bai Ying is still inside"
Luo Hongyi stood up and said.
Clang~
There was a noise coming from the small room, and the small iron basin that the little boy used during the day fell to the ground, with some pot-washing water with residue in it.
"You actually gave them food?"
Zhao Hua pointed at Bai Ying who was protecting the two children behind her and said.
"What's wrong? You don't feed the child, so why should I? I didn't take your food."
Bai Ying said angrily, "Are these people sick? When they saw something in the little boy's bowl as soon as they entered the door, they kicked it over. Even if the child did something wrong, they shouldn't be punished like this, right?"
"Ouch! You fed them alive, what are we going to eat?"
Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and looked heartbroken.
"Bai Ying, what's going on here?"
Luo Hongyi walked in first, followed by a group of people who had not yet fallen asleep.
Lu Hao was holding a flashlight in his hand, allowing everyone to see the scene in the house clearly with the help of the light.
There was no glass in the windows of the house, and the cold night wind blew in. In the corner were two people who looked like children. Bai Ying stood in front of the two children and confronted Brother Chen and others.
"Brother Luo, I, I just felt sorry for the two children and gave them some food, but these people didn't want to come in."
Bai Ying pointed at Brother Chen and the others and said.
"I'm sorry, everyone. This is our village's own business. I'm sorry to cause you all trouble."
Brother Chen didn't want to make things worse at all, and his every word and every sentence showed that he didn't want outsiders to get involved.
"Bai Ying, come back with us."
Luo Hongyi naturally heard it and scolded Bai Ying.
"Captain Luo, wait a minute, Xiao Baiying means well, but I'm curious about what these two kids did wrong. They're so pitiful..."
Wei Junhao interrupted Luo Hongyi and walked up to ask. He just couldn't sleep after dinner and had nothing to do.
"Yes, little brother, can you tell me why you two are locked up here?"
Seeing that Wei Junhao supported her, Bai Ying became more determined. She must get to the bottom of this matter.
"They are going to eat my sister, but I don't want her to die"
Bai Ying didn't quite understand what the little boy said.
Want to eat his sister?
What does this mean?
"Mu Yunle! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Brother Chen shouted loudly, trying to scare the little boy with his voice.
The little boy shuddered all over, and then asked in a smaller voice: "Uncle, you can eat me first. Mom said that boys should protect their sisters."
"Lele, cough cough, don't say that"
The girl behind me was coughing as she spoke, and it seemed as if she had used up all her strength to say one sentence.
Now not only Bai Ying understood, but everyone present understood.
Su Jin shook her head. It was just as she thought.
"You, you just ate human flesh, right?"
Bai Ying looked at the people in front of her and suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body became cold.
"Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Xu Mingliang, who was standing outside the door, didn't know what to say. He had just said that it tasted like wild boar meat.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lu Hao asked Lu Guanhai.
"Xiaohao, help me up, my legs are weak"
Lu Guanhai leaned against Lu Hao, and he almost fell down.
Luo Hongyi and the others couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
When Brother Chen and his companions saw that the matter had been exposed, they quickly tried to explain it.
"Don't get me wrong. Although we eat human flesh, we have never killed anyone. We only eat the flesh after the villagers starve to death or freeze to death. Mu Mengmeng is also sick, and we have no medicine for her, so..."
After saying this, Brother Chen sighed again.
"Yeah, you all know that where can you find food in a place full of zombies? When people die, leaving their bodies outside will attract zombies."
After Zhao Hua finished speaking, he spread his hands, indicating that they had no other options.
"You capable people, please give us a way out. I am an old woman and I won't live for many more days. I have already promised to give my body to the living after I die."
Aunt Zhao spoke with tears in her eyes, which made Lu Guanhai feel sad.
At this time, other villagers also heard the noise and came over. Seeing this scene, they began to cry to several people, all expressing that they were forced into a helpless situation.
Seeing that Su Jin had no intention of watching any further, Lu Hao and the others returned to their resting place.
"These people are so pitiful, they are forced to do this."
Lu Guanhai sighed and said.
“No one forced them.”
Lu Hao snorted coldly, as if he had no sympathy for those people at all.
"Dad, if you put two children in that kind of place without giving them food or water, how can they not get sick? They may be really pitiful, but they don't deserve sympathy."
Su Jin was referring to those villagers. When poor people bully those weaker than themselves, they can no longer be called pitiful.
"Daughter-in-law, now that you mention it, I was completely shocked by the human flesh incident and what they said. I couldn't react for a while."
Lu Guanhai then realized that he had overlooked something, and at this time everyone else came out with an expression of disbelief on their faces. Su Jin shook his head. It seemed that everyone was still unable to react for a while.
Only the brother and sister and a few villagers were left in the small room.
Brother Chen glared at Mu Yunle fiercely and said, "Since you want to die so badly, we will grant your wish."
"Brother Chen, shall we start now?"
The person behind him asked.
