Mutant animals obtain energy to enhance themselves by devouring their own kind, so these meats contain a lot of energy, but this energy cannot be absorbed by the human body, not even by those with superpowers.
The more mutated animal meat people eat, the more undigested energy accumulates in their bodies, which is like overeating. This can cause blockages, and where those blockages end up depends on luck; some blockages occur in the internal organs, while others blockages occur in the brain...
No matter where the blockage is, it will cause intense pain, as if the blockage is about to explode, causing unbearable agony.
In the early stages of the previous apocalypse, many people died from the flesh of mutated animals. Because of this, many people would rather eat humans than eat these mutated animals that were rampant everywhere.
She went to the second window and took out another resident card from her storage space. This resident card belonged to the other person who had the gun earlier, and this person probably had dozens of points in it as well.
"What would you like?" The old lady at the window, dressed in a white chef's uniform that completely covered her down jacket, looked at Lin Ruo, who was standing at the window, with a smile.
Lin Ruo handed the card to the old lady and said in a low voice, "Could you check how many points I have left? I forgot."
The old lady was stunned. It's rare to see someone these days who can forget how many points are on their card.
She took the card, swiped it on the card reader, and it showed that she still had 45 points.
Lin Ruo naturally saw it too. She glanced down at the price list and said, "Give me four steamed buns and a bowl of porridge."
"Young man, are you going to spend all the points on this card?" The old lady thought she had misheard and asked again.
Lin Ruo nodded. "If it's free, what's the point of keeping it? We'll definitely exchange it all for supplies."
"Okay, wait a minute," the old lady said, swiping all of Lin Ruo's points and then picking up a plastic plate to serve Lin Ruo steamed buns and porridge.
When Lin Ruo sat down on the chair next to the canteen with four steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, everyone around her was looking at her. Their eyes showed envy, jealousy, and greed, but since there were soldiers guarding the entrance to the canteen, no one dared to openly snatch the food.
Lin Ruo pretended to take out a packet of pickled vegetables from her backpack. It was spicy pickled radish. She pushed the bottom of her mask up, leaving only her mouth exposed. Because of the cold weather, many people choose to eat like this.
She started eating heartily, taking bites of steamed bun and pickled vegetables, then bites of pickled vegetables and porridge, eating with relish, which made the people secretly watching her even hungrier.
The flour used to make these steamed buns was a bit yellowish, but it didn't affect the taste. In her previous life, when Lin Ruo was at her lowest point, she couldn't even afford coarse grain steamed buns, so of course she wouldn't look down on these white flour steamed buns.
It doesn't matter whether the food is good or not when we eat at the base, as long as it fills our stomachs, we can't waste food.
She ate everything in one go, only to find that she was still not full. She patted her stomach and thought, "Oh well, I'll have a good meal when I get home to make up for it."
She pulled up her mask, stood up with her plate, and walked towards the cafeteria entrance, where someone was there to collect the plates. Several other people stood up behind her and also walked out of the cafeteria.
Lin Ruo caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes simply curved into a smile. These were all points delivered to her doorstep. Wasn't the steamed bun she had just eaten and the rice in her bag all obtained from this?
She walked out, thoughtfully choosing a quiet, deserted alley. Sure enough, when she reached the middle of the alley, those people couldn't wait to block her way, and then several people appeared behind her, blocking her path as well.
"I never expected to run into such a fat sheep today. Hand over your supplies, or we'll kill you and take your resident card!" The three men standing in front of her drew daggers from their waists and kept approaching Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo glanced behind her and saw that the five people behind her had also taken out switchblades and were walking towards her quickly.
She paused for a moment, then, using her backpack as cover, took out a black raincoat from her storage space and put it on. Although blood would clot quickly in this kind of weather, it would still stain her clothes, so she had to be prepared in advance.
"I told you to get the supplies! What are you doing wearing a raincoat?!"
The man who had shouted earlier thought Lin Ruo was sensible when he saw her taking something out of her backpack, but he didn't expect her to be a bit dim-witted.
Lin Ruo's lips curled slightly beneath her mask, her tone deepening, "Of course, it's to stop the blood from flowing from you!"
As she spoke, she swiftly drew a dagger from her waist and rapidly advanced towards the three people in front of her. Her speed was like a blur, covering the three-meter distance in the blink of an eye. By the time the three people reacted, Lin Ruo was already so close that she was almost face to face with them.
Lin Ruo swung her dagger horizontally, slicing open the neck of the person in front of her. Blood gushed out relentlessly, all of it spraying onto Lin Ruo's raincoat.
Ignoring the person about to fall, Lin Ruo turned around and dodged the dagger from the person next to her, then plunged the dagger in her hand into the person's chest, causing blood to splatter.
She raised her leg and kicked to the side, sending the last person flying towards the five people behind her. The five people tried to run away, but she was too fast, and the alley was narrow. They were knocked down before they could run more than a few steps.
When they pushed aside the already dead person and got up, Lin Ruo was already standing in front of them.
Before these people could even shout, they only saw the dagger in the other person's hand flash repeatedly, like a silver line, and then everything went dark.
The five men fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Look, I've had a great haul today." Lin Ruo hummed a song as she pulled out the resident cards from their clothes, then threw her raincoat into her spatial storage before walking out of the alley.
It was half an hour later when the base patrol team, following the scent of blood, discovered the eight corpses lying in the alley again.
The alleyway was covered with splattered, frozen blood, but the murderer had already fled.
