"The meat of superhumans is so delicious, much better than the meat of ordinary people."
"Didn't our boss say that the energy in the cores of superhumans' heads is much greater than that of those mutated beasts? When our boss hunts superhumans in the future, we can also get some of the benefits."
"This superhuman not only has a lot of crystal core energy, but eating his flesh and blood can also improve the health of us ordinary survivors. It's really a win-win situation."
"Damn it, after eating this human flesh, nothing else tastes good. I can only think about this stuff."
...
In a remote dugout on the outskirts of the B City base, a dozen people were eating human flesh and chatting and laughing when suddenly more than a dozen superhumans rushed in. Without saying a word, they immediately used their superhuman abilities to attack. In an instant, various types of light flashed, and they subdued all the survivors.
Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the innermost part of the dugout and rushed towards Chen Yu, who was leading the way. Chen Yu raised an electric net to defend himself, but the metal spear still broke through his defense. He was already a level 2 ability user, and the opponent could easily break through his defense, so he must be a level 3 ability user!
"He leveled up so quickly!" Combining what those people had just said, his eyes darkened. It seemed this superhuman had killed quite a few superhumans!
He quickly dodged to the side, but the sharp metal spear still pierced his shoulder.
"team leader!"
Ignoring his own wounds, Chen Yu charged towards the man with lightning crackling beneath his feet, his long, electrified blade aimed straight for the superhuman's heart.
With two superhumans fighting, the ordinary dugout naturally couldn't withstand the impact and collapsed rapidly with a rumbling sound. For a moment, dust fell, blocking everyone's view.
This person possesses a powerful metal-based ability with formidable defense. Although the ore knife is extremely sharp and can penetrate this person's defenses, he is cunning and ruthless, always changing his position to attack his teammates behind him.
In addition, this person has a high level of superpowers, and with Chen Yu's abilities, he won't be able to defeat him in a short time.
Although the superhuman had a high level of ability, his equipment was not as good as Chen Yu's. Seeing that he could not break through after a long time, Chen Yu simply pulled out the crystal energy gun from his waist and fired at the superhuman.
Because this person was extremely dangerous, Chen Yu did not intend to capture him alive. "Bang bang bang," the crystal energy gun kept hitting the superhuman's vital points, blocking all his escape routes.
The superhuman's defenses were no match for the crystal gun's bullets. He was eventually shot in the forehead, his eyes wide open, a trail of blood running down his brow as he fell backward with a thud to the ground.
The cannibals who were being suppressed by the superhumans, upon seeing their leader dead, showed no grief or fear; instead, they drooled over the corpse.
The longing in their eyes, looking at the corpse as if it were pork at a market, sent chills down the spines of the nearby superhumans.
"Cut off this superhuman's head and take it with him along with the others!"
Chen Yu escorted the cannibals to the base entrance. The survivors on the periphery, unaware of what was happening, stopped what they were doing, stood up, and looked in their direction.
"Why are you arresting me! If you don't give us food, can't we find our own? Are we just supposed to starve to death?"
"I was wrong! I promise I'll quit! Please, please let me go!"
"Damn it! So what if I ate two people? It's the apocalypse! Haven't you all taken enough lives?!"
...
The cannibals kneeling on the ground hurled insults, but the superhumans around them paid no heed.
Standing on the city wall, Chen Yu held a megaphone and addressed the survivors on the outskirts, saying, "Cannibalism is strictly prohibited outside the base. This is the fate of those who engage in it!"
As he spoke, a bolt of electricity shot out from his hand, passing through the heads of the cannibals one by one. The heads exploded with a series of bangs, like fireworks bursting open, and the stench of blood quickly spread.
These warriors kept a close eye on the survivors around them, and if any survivor showed even a hint of desire, they would be dragged out and killed along with them.
On this day, dozens of cannibals were executed outside the base, and blood flowed like a river on the ground. Only then did the survivors on the outskirts realize that so many demons were living around them!
"Anyone who discovers cannibalism on the outskirts and reports it to the base will receive two catties of grain after the investigation is completed."
After saying this, Chen Yu led the superhumans back to the base, where a dozen soldiers immediately rushed out and covered the blood on the ground with soil to prevent it from attracting mutated beasts.
After this incident, many people secretly left the area surrounding the B City base. With the reporting system in place, these cannibals would eventually be discovered, captured, and killed if they continued to live there. Wasn't their desperate suppression of their craving for human flesh all for the sake of survival?
By the time Lin Ruo absorbed the Level 2 spatial crystal core and cultivated his spatial domain to its peak, seven days had passed.
When she returned to the base in City B with Afu and Ashou, Zhao Hui recounted the details of the incident. "When I heard Li Wei's description, I almost threw up. I really don't know how these people managed to eat human flesh. The thought of so many cannibals appearing on the outskirts is terrifying..."
Lin Ruo simply nodded slightly. These cannibals cannot be completely eradicated. With so many people and so little food, are they just waiting to starve to death?
They trade crystal cores for food, but how many people can actually defeat those mutated beasts? There will always be someone who finds another way.
Lin Ruo frowned slightly as she returned without receiving any news from Fang Ling and Li Ke. On the way back, she pondered the situation carefully. It had been two months of extreme heat. Had they both died on the road? Or had they stayed in City A again, just like in her previous life?
