Chapter 041 Cannibalization-15
"actually……"
Meng Tang's eyelashes trembled twice, and he spoke in a very low voice, as thin and weak as a mosquito, "It was like that... like that, and then I got pregnant."
“…”
Jiang Yan's eyebrows twitched twice. He held his breath and asked again, "Am I really... pregnant?"
The long silence made the atmosphere very strange. Fortunately, the noise coming from outside saved Meng Tang's pounding heart.
"Ginger salt, is that ginger salt?"
"You call out and see if he responds. If he responds, then it's him. If he doesn't, then you're hallucinating."
"Su Ze, now is not the time to joke."
Two familiar voices came into Jiang Yan's ears. He followed the source of the sound and saw Wang Xu and Su Ze. The two people were standing not far from the door. Their silhouettes were vague, and a little further back was endless white fog.
Seeing that his two friends were still alive, Jiang Yan felt relieved. He walked out of the door quickly and shouted to them, "I'm here!"
“It’s real ginger salt!”
"...Could it be fake?" Su Ze held his forehead with his hand.
Wang Xu couldn't wait to pull Su Ze to Jiang Yan's side, and then, like a concerned parent, he looked the man up and down, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but how are you?" Jiang Yan looked at the two of them. Their school uniforms had several holes in them, and they were ragged and covered in dust. It was obvious that they had experienced at least one life-and-death escape.
"We?" Wang Xu looked at Su Ze, then at his ragged clothes and pants. He touched the back of his head and said with a smile, "We are fine. We were just chased by a tentacle for several days."
"But with your brother Wang's absolute strength, I quickly killed the tentacle in three or five strokes." Wang Xu touched his nose, and Su Ze beside him continued, "And by the way, I stewed the tentacle to make soup."
"Hey, why did you bring this up?" Wang Xu nudged Su Ze with his elbow, then looked at Meng Tang and said a little embarrassedly, "We were just too hungry. You may not know that after the apocalypse, everything in the supermarket was snapped up. Su Ze and I couldn't beat them, so we could only eat monster meat."
"You know what, this tastes pretty good. I wanted to save some for you." Wang Xu grinned and said, "Haven't I been able to find you for a long time?"
"By the way, what have you been eating these days?" Wang Xu said, glancing behind Jiang Yan with his peripheral vision. His gaze paused slightly and he saw Meng Tang.
It should be Mengtang, but I feel like this person has changed.
Wang Xu was puzzled, and Jiang Yan's voice came to his ears, "Eat something casually."
"That's not right." Wang Xu suddenly said. He moved closer to Jiang Yan and whispered in his ear, "Is that person behind you Meng Tang? Why does he look different?"
Jiang Yan was startled and tilted his head slightly. He looked at Meng Tang. Now Meng Tang was between monsters and humans, so his appearance had also changed a little.
Jiang Yan hesitated whether to tell his two friends Meng Tang's true identity, but he remembered that Wang Xu had already had doubts before, so... let Meng Tang decide for himself.
At this time Meng Tang also walked over. He saw Jiang Yan looking at him, so he presumptuously thought that the other party had something to talk to him about, but he didn't say anything after he walked over.
Jiang Yan felt something coming up behind him. He became a little alert and turned around to find that it was Meng Tang. The man was cowering behind him pitifully like a puppy caught in the rain.
"It's the same person." Jiang Yan answered Wang Xu's question indifferently.
But even though Jiang Yan said that, Wang Xu still stared at Meng Tang, "So you two have been together these days?"
"Yes." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "So where is this place?"
"This is the school." Wang Xu pursed his lips. "It's a little hard to tell, right? Almost every place in the school has been occupied by those monsters. We don't dare to go out in the fog, so Su Ze and I are hiding in the gym. There are other survivors here, and we take turns to go out and find food."
"But wasn't the teaching building occupied from the beginning?" Wang Xu finally realized what was wrong. He pointed to a place behind Jiang Yan and said, "Why did you come out from there?"
Jiang Yan looked in the direction of Wang Xu's finger. That was the place where Jiang Yan had been staying these days. It was the nest built by Meng Tang. All the walls were covered with thick spider silk, and there was no trace of a classroom at all.
Wait, if the nest was originally a classroom, where did the TV, bed, refrigerator and other things in it come from?
Jiang Yan’s doubts were soon answered by his two good friends.
"Forget it. I think you are more confused than me. It's better to survive in a muddle." Wang Xu said, "There are all kinds of strange things outside. It's okay during the day. Most of them are asleep. It will be dangerous at night."
No wonder Jiang Yan hasn’t seen any living creatures after being out for so long.
"But we also experienced some strange things during your absence."
"Strange things?"
"Yes, listen to me." Wang Xu paused and continued, "An expert said in the news before that a virus is spreading in society, but the virus only infects plants and animals, so some trees, grasses, spiders, cockroaches... have begun to mutate."
"But I found that some of the mutated things are bad, and some are good."
Wang Xu pinched his chin and said while thinking, "This time, Su Ze and I were able to escape, and a large part of it was due to the help of my six dogs. If it weren't for them, I would have been buried in the snake's belly long ago."
On the first day of the campus riot, Wang Xu and Su Ze were surrounded by a giant snake. At the critical moment, the six-legged dog from home arrived in time and saved them both from the snake's fangs.
"There's one more thing." Wang Xu continued, "Although I told you that I hate spiders, I recently discovered that among all the mutant creatures, spiders are the only ones that don't choose to attack humans."
"Besides that," Su Ze took over, "these spiders may not be very smart after their mutation. I often see them bypassing us to carry some strange things."
"The refrigerator, the clothes... all kinds of random and unexpected things."
"That's right." Wang Xu interrupted, "These spiders are stealing our food. It's really abominable."
"Ah?" Jiang Yan asked with a puzzled tone.
Wang Xu sighed, "The chocolates I finally found in the dormitory building were snatched away by those damn spiders."
Jiang Yan remembered that Meng Tang had given him chocolate to eat before, "Is it XX (brand) chocolate?"
"Wow, how did you know that?" Wang Xu showed a shocked expression, "Don't you not eat chocolate much?"
Jiang Yan was silent for a moment. Is it possible that among the group of spiders you have seen, there is one that is the real body of Mengtang?
It turns out that all the things in the "house" were "purchased" by this spider from outside.
Jiang Yan felt a little helpless. He turned around and looked at Meng Tang behind him. Meng Tang always kept his head down, like a child who had made a mistake.
Now I am so timid.
Weren't you so impressive when you lied to him before?
"By the way, although experts say that animals and plants can mutate, what about humans?" Jiang Yan asked, "Do you think a man can get pregnant?"
"Wait, how many questions are there?" Meng Tang was a little confused. His brain was short-circuited. He couldn't answer the question, so he simply threw the question to Su Ze, "You talk about it, and I have to sort it out."
"..." Su Ze was also stunned for a long time before he said, "How can a man get pregnant? Besides, this time only animals and plants have mutated, and humans have not had any adverse reactions."
"Why, are you pregnant?" Su Ze asked, glancing at Jiang Yan.
"No, I'm just asking."
"By the way, why are you naked from the waist up?" Wang Xu stared at Jiang Yan, specifically at his stomach, his gaze lingering on the bandage on his waist for a few seconds, "What's wrong with your stomach?"
"I fell down." Jiang Yan said calmly, "I stopped wearing my clothes because they were torn." In fact, he also wanted to know where his clothes went. Of course, only Meng Tang knew the answer.
"Are you cold? I can give you my coat." Wang Xu also had a short-sleeved shirt underneath, "It's a little torn though. If you can't make it work, just take Su Ze's. His is better than mine."
"That's not right." Wang Xu suddenly thought of something. He leaned over to Jiang Yan's ear and whispered, so that only the two of them could hear, "Meng Tang's clothes are quite clean. Why didn't he give you clothes to wear? Doesn't he like you very much?"
Jiang Yan: “…” Is there a possibility that his clothes were taken off by Meng Tang?
Afterwards, Wang Xu, Su Ze and Jiang Yan Mengtang continued to search for some food and usable supplies, and then returned to the gym together.
"It's strange. Today's search went smoothly." Wang Xu said, "No spiders came out to steal food."
"Yeah." Su Ze responded.
"By the way, Jiang Yan, don't you think that Meng Tang is... a little big?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yan looked at Wang Xu, who compared his gestures and said suspiciously, "It's that body shape."
"I remember he was the same height as you before. How come he is taller than Su Ze now?"
Su Ze is almost 1.9 meters tall and is the tallest of the three.
"I don't know either. You have to ask him."
"Then I won't ask."
“…”
Back in the gym, the scene was the same as Jiang Yan remembered, except that in the past there were only cold sports equipment placed here, but now there are many classmates gathered here.
Jiang Yan had met some of the people there before, and some of the faces were very familiar, including his younger cousin Jiang Nao, who was also in the team of survivors.
At this moment, Jiang Nao no longer had the domineering look he had at home. He looked extremely haggard, and it was obvious that he had been frightened, hungry and cold for a long time.
Jiang Yan wrapped Meng Tang's school uniform outer jacket and walked inside. He and Meng Tang chose a corner to sit down. Then Wang Xu threw over a stack of thin blankets and a few bags of snacks.
“Not a lot of food.”
"That's enough."
Soon it was night, and for fear that monsters would break in, the glass windows of the gym were covered with newspapers. To be on the safe side, the windows were also covered with other things, so they still looked very sturdy.
"When will this doomsday end?"
"Aaaah I want my mommy!"
"You are such an adult and you are still crying. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Hey, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and I still encounter this kind of thing."
"I don't care. I can't get into college anyway."
“…”
The sporadic voices stopped after a sudden unusual noise was heard outside. Everyone knew that the monsters had started to move, so they all held their breath at the same time.
Some people who have adapted to the end of the world fell asleep easily, while others were still nervous, their hearts beating fast even with their eyes closed.
"Ginger salt."
Jiang Yan, who was thinking with his eyes closed, heard a voice in his ear. He lifted his eyelids and looked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Tang was next to Jiang Yan, and both of them were huddled in a corner. From a third party's perspective, they looked like two little hedgehogs, curled up.
"It's a bit cold." Meng Tang said in a low voice.
Jiang Yan also said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Can spiders feel cold too?"
The two of them shared a blanket, but it was too small to cover two 18-year-old adults. So Jiang Yan moved the blanket and covered Meng Tang with a little more.
Meng Tang moved closer to Jiang Yan, and even rubbed against him, "It's warm this way."
It's warm to hold ginger salt.
Jiang Yan: “…”
He looked up and saw that Meng Tang had closed his eyes and was breathing slowly, probably asleep.
never mind.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yan's compromise would make Meng Tang even more aggressive.
Around midnight, a restless claw reached out from under his clothes and touched Jiang Yan's belly.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yan said, suppressing his anger.
Meng Tang acted very aggrieved and said, "Let me see if our baby is still there."
Baby?
Are you really addicted to playing the role of a father?
