Chapter 44 Cannibalism

After filling all their utensils with water, they began to build a fire in the middle of the house.

The gas tank and the gas stove were moved to the middle of the room, then a large pot was set up and the freshly collected rainwater was poured into it.

The people who had not tasted meat for a long time could not help but take a few inebriated breaths of the smell of meat, and then the cravings in their stomachs were completely aroused.

Daoist Jia gulped and then lowered his voice and said, "Do you think they will give us a bite of meat later? Even if there is no meat, broth will do."

Several soldiers gulped in unison and couldn't help but say, "It smells so good!"

The eyes of the others couldn't help but drift in that direction too.

Xiang Xu couldn't help but look over there a few more times and said, "It really smells good." He finally looked a bit like a child when he had a craving.

When Gu Ning smelt the rich smell of meat, she didn't know why, but instead of having a desire to eat it, she felt a little sick to her stomach.

Those people were all given a bowl of broth with a few pieces of meat floating in it, and they all sat on the ground with their bowls and enjoyed it very much, without even glancing at this side.

They didn't seem to have any intention of inviting Gu Ning and the others over to eat with them.

Both Gu Ning's side and the White Wolves' side had been eating for several hours since the last time they had eaten, and with their physical strength severely depleted, it was the right time for them to eat. They could not help but look over at the faces of the people enjoying the steaming meat soup, which made the hunger in their stomachs burn even brighter.

Although several people on Gu Ning's side were already salivating, they could only hold back from making a move even though Gu Ning's eyes were closed and there was no reaction at all.

On the other hand, someone on White Wolf's side couldn't hold back.

Gu Ning and White Wolf opened their eyes a crack at the same time and watched as Yan Yu stood up and walked over to the other side.

Everyone on this side looked over.

Yan Yu walked over gracefully, didn't know what she said to the man in charge of the soup, and then came back with a bowl of soup in her hand with a smile, her gaze sweeping over this side with undisguised smugness.

Seeing her get a bowl of broth so smoothly.

The others could not hold back a little.

As they watched Pei Jing's people on White Wolf's side get up one by one and head over there, Jia Daochang Cheng Ming Huang Mengyao Xie Yuhong Xiang Yi and a few soldiers all looked blearily at Gu Ning, even Xiang Xu's eyes were filled with eagerness, obviously seeking Gu Ning's opinion, but Gu Ning didn't say anything, just shook her head imperceptibly, directly cutting them off.

When he saw Gu Ning shake his head, a flash of something flashed in his long, slanted eyes, then he inclined his head and said something to the man in the white shirt, who glanced over at him thoughtfully, then whispered something to the man beside him. And for some reason, Pei Jing didn't go begging either, and also politely declined Yan Yu's invitation for him to have a sip.

"It's delicious." A man who couldn't resist taking a sip of the broth before he had even walked back to his seat widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"It's really good, I've never had such good broth before. And it smells so good." Another man chimed in.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten something hot." Another person exclaimed.

Someone chewed the meat in his mouth and said vaguely, "But this meat would be better if it stewed a little longer, it's too hard to chew."

The other people who didn't get to drink the soup because of the two Gu Ning and White Wolf's decision were all depressed, these people just drank, why so much nonsense?

The dimpled girl came this way with a bowl of broth and said to Gu Ning with a smile, "They've all gone for the broth, why don't you guys go? There's still quite a lot in the pot, enough for you to eat, nah, I've brought you a bowl here especially." With that, he handed the bowl in his hand to Gu Ning, and he could see that quite a few pieces of meat had settled under the wobbling broth.

Gu Ning, however, did not take it, but simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. But we lost too many of our companions on the way here to eat now." Her smile was slightly tired and apologetic and looked very sincere.

In his heart, Jia Daoist shouted and growled, Gu Ning you can't eat I can eat!!!

But when Gu Ning said "we", he was including them all. However, the broth was expensive and Gu Ning was even more expensive, so Daoist Master Jia would not do something as stupid as tearing Gu Ning down for a bowl of broth.

The grief on his face at not getting the broth really did look like he was grieving the death of his companion.

"That's a shame." The dimpled girl looked at the bowl of soup she was holding and said regretfully, "A soup that tastes so good may never be drunk again."

I don't know why, but Xiang Xu looked at the back of the dimple girl as she left with the broth, thinking about the look on her face as she spoke just now, and inexplicably felt a little creeped out, although she didn't know why Gu Ning wouldn't let them have the broth, but Gu Ning always had a reason for doing things. And it was because of this trust in Gu Ning that the others held back their desire not to drink the broth that was already in their mouths.

After Gu Ning refused the dimple girl's broth, she never came over to Gu Ning again, just sitting in the other corner talking and laughing with the young men and women.

More than an hour passed.

The pounding rain outside didn't even seem to show signs of stopping.

The sky was as dark as the thick ink in an ink stone. As far as the eye could see, the whole city was shrouded in complete darkness.

The house was pitch-black because there was no light source.

However, Gu Ning's vision was not affected in the slightest.

Most of the people were lying on the floor with their eyes open at this time, whispering.

Then Gu Ning saw the dimpled girl and several other young men and women walking out of the room together in the dark, their footsteps that is, so light that if it weren't for someone with a keen sense of hearing like Gu Ning plus the darkness in the room, no one would have even noticed them walking out.

"Follow them." Gu Ning lowered her voice and said to Xiang Xu.

Xiang Xu naturally saw those people walking out and naturally knew what Gu Ning meant by following them, she nodded solemnly and then closed her eyes, the white lake water rippled slightly before her spiritual energy surged out silently and chased after those few people.

The speed of her mental energy was unimaginably fast, and soon her mental energy enveloped the men, and Xiang Xu manipulated it to analyse their behaviour.

"They're going upstairs ..." Xiang Xu lowered her voice, her voice didn't stand out inside the environment where many people were whispering, she whispered to Gu Ning describing the scene her mental power perceived, "It's a flat roof up there, they went into a small room ... It seemed like they were talking about something ..." Xiang Xu paused for about ten minutes, then said, "They're coming down."

"Get your knife, something bad might happen tonight." Gu Ning said coldly.

Xiang Xu snapped his eyes towards Gu Ning, seeing Gu Ning's cold side face, his heart chilled a little, thinking of the corpses under the tarp and being a little scared, what could the bad thing be

Gu Ning finished speaking to Xiang Xu and then said softly to Zhang Xiaobai, "Zhang Xiaobai, tell the others not to sleep tonight and to keep their guns close to their hands."

Zhang Xiaobai froze for a moment and immediately thought that Gu Ning's perversity this afternoon must have made her discover something, but did not ask questions, but obeyed Gu Ning's order and informed everyone in a very low voice.

The originally drowsy Jia Daochang Cheng Ming and other people, as well as the soldiers, heard Zhang Xiaobai relay Gu Ning's order and immediately lost all sleepiness.

The atmosphere over here invariably became tense.

Soon, the Dimple Girl's men re-entered the house silently, and they even looked over here, but there was not even the slightest bit of light this evening, so they could not see anything.

Gu Ning's eyes clearly saw the expressions on each of those people's faces in the darkness, finally settling on the dimpled girl's face, as if because the absolute darkness reassured her, she recklessly tore off the harmless mask that had been on her face during the day, revealing her true face, which was absolutely indifferent and numb, while her eyes were filled with the same emotion that Gu Ning had seen countless times before in those people who had The face was absolutely cold and numb, while her eyes were filled with the same excitement and hunger that Gu Ning had seen countless times before in the eyes of those zombies who had lost their sense of self and only had the instinct to feed. The combination of indifference and numbness, excitement and hunger made her expression look particularly ghastly in the darkness.

Xiang Xu couldn't help but cover his mouth to keep himself from screaming out.

Even Gu Ning's heart rose with a bone-chilling feeling.

They were just like the zombies, treating these people like food.

Then the ones they ate tonight ... were human flesh!
