Chapter 23 Special Guests
"It's acceptable to kill a few gangsters and hooligans, but if you want to kill nearly 100 people at once, I still can't do it......" Wu Ruomeng's words coincided with Xu Zhen's thoughts.
"But there's no better and faster way." Bai Qi's thinking was more rational: "If the efficiency is high enough, we can complete the task ahead of schedule tomorrow night." ”
"But this will affect a lot of innocent people!" Wu Ruomeng retreated a little. "You can't think like that......" Bai Qi was a little anxious and argued with her.
Xu Zhen on the side didn't pay attention to this, but turned his head to Dai Shikai: "Akai, you tell me." In your memory, have there been any major fatalities and injuries near Tiesan Hutong? ”
"Yes. A few days before my brother's accident, there was a major traffic accident at this intersection. A bus full of passengers suddenly exploded, leaving no one on board, as well as several passing private cars, leaving almost no one alive. ”
Dai Shikai's words made everyone gasp, and Xu Zhen sat on the ground and muttered: "So, the culprit of that accident is actually our ......"
"Don't rush to blame yourself just yet." Before Xu Zhen could think about it, Dai Shikai's words stabbed him in the heart again: "After that, there was a fire and a building collapse in the nearby alley one after another...... At that time, many of the people living in this area were poor elderly people, and their homes and doors were full of debris, which could easily spread the fire. On the night of the accident, almost no one escaped. ”
"So, other districts have also found a way out?" He Yan held his cheeks: "So many people have died, haven't they attracted the attention of ZF?" ”
"With so many people dead, the space naturally won't sit idly by. According to the death figures released by ZF, there are probably only about 20 victims. Now that I think about it, it must be much more than that. In an attempt to appease public anger, Tiesan Hutong and several surrounding streets were demolished shortly after the accident. Dai Shikai said calmly: "Everything is right. What happened back then is still firmly in my memory, which means that we can't control it. ”
"Captain, people are selfish. Even if we don't do it, there will be other people who want to figure it out. When the time comes, it will not be us who will die. Bai Qi sighed and sat down beside Xu Zhen.
He leaned on the platform behind him, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on his mouth, and after exhaling a puff of mist, Bai Qi's voice revealed the vicissitudes of life: "I, although I live without heart and lungs, after all, there are still parents at home, and there are people I care about." I don't want to die yet...... To put it mildly, even if others die, thousands of deaths, what does it have to do with me? I'm just a selfish person, I just want to live! ”
"I agree with Bai Qi." He Yan opened the curtain and walked into the back kitchen, and said to Xu Zhen: "Captain, just leave this matter to the three of us." ”
"Hey......" Xu Zhen sighed, holding his head in pain and curled up in the corner.
The atmosphere in the back kitchen was unusually solemn, and for a period of time afterward, several people were relatively silent, and no one opened their mouths to break the silence.
It was close to half past five in the morning, and Wu Ruomeng sent off the last group of guests. Thanks to the addition of those six ghosts, the store entertained fourteen guests for the first time tonight. She did the math, and with the business turnover of the previous two days, there were already twenty-five customers.
Usually at this point in time, close to dawn, there will be basically no more customers in the store. The kitchen had already begun to pack up and prepare for closing, Bai Qi put away the remaining ingredients, and after opening the refrigerator, he remembered the white woven bag.
"I forgot that I was too busy before, so don't rush to collect things yet. It seems that there is still a guest who has not arrived. Bai Qi didn't know what was inside, and before that, Xu Zhen's words stopped his curiosity to find out.
"I'm sorry, I'm late today!" At this moment, a crisp female voice came from the door, and then, under the gaze of everyone, a woman's figure appeared in the restaurant.
Unlike the other ghosts, this woman looked too normal. She has short ear-length hair, a ruddy and energetic face, crooked eyebrows and dimples, and a mouthful of big white teeth when she laughs.
The woman is about 30 years old, wearing a green cloth skirt and carrying a bamboo basket, at first glance she looks like an ordinary woman preparing to go grocery shopping. However, being able to enter this restaurant means that she is not very human.
"Hey, Lao Zhang isn't there?" The short-haired woman's personality is very hearty and talkative, and she actually stepped forward with a basket and talked to Wu Ruomeng: "The little girl looks at her face, is she new?" ”
"Hmm...... Yes, the owner has been out recently, what would you like to eat? Wu Ruomeng quickly reacted, this woman should be the most special customer tonight. At the thought of this, she couldn't help but get nervous.
"Oh, that's right." The woman carried the basket and found a seat, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Lao Zhang knows that I will order this dish every time I come, and he must have prepared the ingredients for me." So as always, let's make steamed dumplings and soup. Remember, stew a little bit. ”
"Okay." Wu Ruomeng turned around and was just about to leave, when she was suddenly stopped by a woman: "By the way, little girl, I brought my own ingredients today!" It's not that your family is not doing well, the main thing is that this thing is very particular about eating. Every time, the ingredients provided by your family are too big, and the taste and texture are a bit of a fly in the ointment. So this time, I went to get some ingredients myself, no, it's too late today. But it's okay, but I'm good to catch up before you close. You can take care of the rest for me. ”
The woman chattered a lot, and Wu Ruomeng looked at her kind face, and even had an illusion. It's as if the other party is really just an ordinary eldest sister who came to this restaurant for a meal. However, when she returned to the back kitchen and lifted the red cloth covering the food basket, she woke up like a dream.
"Vozhi, have you always had these things in the fridge?!" Even Dai Shikai's grinning coarse nerves, after seeing the contents of the basket, he couldn't help pinching his nose.
He Yan rushed up to open the refrigerator with a brisk stride, pulled out the white woven bag violently, and threw it into the trash.
The basket contained a black plastic bag, from which a strong smell of blood emanated. Wu Ruomeng untied it, only to find that the bag was not filled with anything else, but two foetuses that had already been formed.
The fetus was still attached to the umbilical cord, covered in a foul-smelling mixture of blood and amniotic fluid, and everyone could even faintly see the faintly beating heart under the translucent skin of the fetus. No wonder this woman said that she wanted to eat fresh, it turned out that there were still faint signs of life on the two fetuses.
If it is said that dealing with human flesh is already Wu Ruomeng's limit, then the two little lives in front of her have once again refreshed her ability to accept.
"I can't take it anymore!" She pushed the basket off the table and slammed into the bathroom.
