PNB Chapter 193 Start eating people
Chapter 193 Start eating people
"I heard that there was a case of cannibalism in our city of Peng, and they were eaten raw!"
"The official found several skeletons in an abandoned building. Some of the flesh on the skeletons had been shaved cleanly, and some had been eaten directly."
"It can be judged from the tooth marks on the skeleton that they were left by human teeth."
Lei Minghu overheard this while the two soldiers were chatting.
Although food is precious, has it reached the point of eating human flesh?
After hearing Lei Minghu's words, Han Ying and Lu Yuan looked at each other. In the apocalypse, human flesh is also a kind of food for some people.
But they didn't expect to show up so early.
"So you must be careful when you go out, and I will try to leave the base as little as possible."
If Lei Minghu hadn't been able to buy cockroach medicine from the official store, he wouldn't have come back today.
But the most important thing is that he also brought knives and the crossbow that Han Ying gave them.
Otherwise, he would not dare to go out alone.
"Thanks for the reminder, we will be careful."
Although they had anticipated the cannibalism incident, they were still grateful that Lei Minghu would share the news with them.
"By the way, we recently did some business with people at the night market and exchanged some potatoes and insect repellents from them."
"You can bring some with you when you return to the base later, and then please ask Brother Lei to bring a copy to my teacher as well."
When Han Ying went home to get the keys, she had already brought the things over.
In the two bags, Han Ying put potatoes, cockroach medicine, anti-itch cooling oil and a few pieces of cactus.
That day Qin Qinghai grabbed a handful of points and gave them to Han Ying. Han Ying came back and counted them, and there were a total of 4300 points.
When Lei Minghu went back, Lu Yuan also gave him a set of beekeeping clothes, saying that he got them from the night market and that they were very effective in preventing mosquitoes.
Although it is not used now, Lei Minghu has always been very safety-conscious, and he is also worried that if things continue to develop like this, mosquitoes will become overrun.
In addition to the beekeeping suit, Lu Yuan also wanted to give him the keys to the stairs and corridors, but Lei Minghu refused.
Lei Minghu said that the number of times he could come back was limited, and if one more key was leaked, it would be even more dangerous.
Since they no longer live here, there is no need to share a share.
However, Lei Minghu took one of the keys to his house.
...
Just now at the gate of the community, Han Ying gave Ge Jiaojiao an offer to exchange points for reptiles.
Ge Jiaojiao finished cleaning up the stall and went home directly.
I told my family about this when I got home, and they immediately started cleaning the house.
After closing the bathroom and blocking the sewers, the suspended ceiling was dismantled, and instantly cockroaches fell everywhere.
Several fat rats fell out of it.
After the rat is cooked, there are still a few bites of meat left to eat, so you have to put it away after catching it.
While the family was catching cockroaches, Ge Jiaojiao also told several families around them about the incident.
But she was talking about collecting the reptile's body, not Han Ying.
One pound of reptile carcasses is exchanged for 1 point, which will be required in two hours.
The price Han Ying gave her was 1 points for 1.5 catty, but she wanted to earn a little before others knew about it.
...
"I didn't expect that cannibalism would happen now. What do you think?"
After Lei Minghu left, the two returned to Han Ying's house, and Lu Yuan helped Gouzi take off his thermostatic clothes.
"I feel that the order in this life is much better than in the previous life. Why is the incident of cannibalism brought forward?"
Han Ying only heard about the cannibalism incident in her previous life when the extreme heat was about to end, but now the insect plague has not even really started.
Official control of supplies has both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that extreme people become even more extreme.
"Are you collecting those bugs with the intention of selling them to the authorities?"
Lu Yuan wanted to ask when he was outside the community just now, but it was not convenient at that time.
In the previous life, many bases and shelters would distribute a free grain cake every day.
But are multigrain pancakes really made of multigrain?
The multigrain cakes are also mixed with some insect powder!
Of course, these insect powders have been specially processed by the government.
Some harmful substances inside have been removed, including some germs and pesticides.
"Well, I think there will be news from the base in a while."
In the previous life, Han Ying couldn't even eat grain cakes for a period of time, so she didn't care whether insect powder was added to the grain cakes.
In fact, after being specially processed, insect powder can not only fill your stomach, but also has good nutrition.
In the previous life, major bases relied on those multigrain insect powder cakes to feed an unknown number of people.
"That thing is too disgusting. I'll collect it later."
Lu Yuan has not forgotten Han Ying's pale face when she saw cockroaches all over the ground that day.
Although she recovered quickly, she was actually afraid of these things in her heart.
"It's okay, let's go together."
Han Ying was frightened when she saw cockroaches all over the ground, just because she thought about the past.
In fact, she has long been forced to not be afraid of bugs.
The two of them chatted about the insect plague while eating a table of delicious food.
To be honest, these topics will not affect their appetite at all, because they have already experienced it again.
After the two of them finished eating, they looked at the time. It was already 4 o'clock, and it was probably not long before dawn.
Since there must still be a lot of food smell left on them after just finishing the meal, the two of them went back to their rooms and took a shower.
After dawn, the two went downstairs on time and arrived at the stairs on the 25th floor.
They saw Ge Jiaojiao and a middle-aged man who should be her husband already waiting there.
There were two large buckets placed beside them, which contained some reptiles, mostly cockroaches.
"Put it in a bag."
Han Ying opened the door and handed them several bags.
It looked like there were quite a few, and they estimated that they had caught at least a third of the cockroaches in the entire building.
What Han Ying didn't know was that in addition to catching them at her own home, they also collected them from neighbors.
They plan to search for houses that are no longer occupied tomorrow.
Some of those houses still have wooden floors, so there must be a lot hidden underneath.
Ge Jiaojiao and her husband poured all the reptiles in the bucket into bags, filling three big bags.
Han Ying took out a hook scale and weighed the three bags separately.
Good guy, it weighs 6.6 pounds in total!
6.6 pounds, but most of them are cockroaches, and these are not the entire inventory of the entire building.
There are even more cockroaches hiding there.
Han Ying, who weighed 6.6 pounds, directly settled 10 points to them.
Seeing the 10 points they received, Ge Jiaojiao and his wife were very excited.
Ge Jiaojiao set up her stall for several days without earning a single point. They caught cockroaches for two hours and got 10 points.
Of course, 5 points paid to others will also be deducted.
But this way they still gain a net profit of 5 points.
Suddenly the two of them were very motivated and must catch more cockroaches tomorrow.
