Chapter 795: Never Regret
"Finally, I bit off a piece of meat the size of my little finger, and I swallowed it without even chewing it."
"Leader Wang, you will definitely ask me if I was nauseous when I ate the first bite of zombie corpse meat."
"My old man told you, no! Not at all! I didn't have nausea or vomit, I just regretted that I hadn't thought of eating zombie corpses sooner! β
"That small piece of meat is in my stomach, my hungry stomach is healed at once, my person is also energetic, my hands and legs are no longer shaking, I have only one thought, I want to eat more, more meat."
"I lay on the zombie corpse and ate it bite by bite."
"Leader Wang, do you know where zombies are best to eat?"
"I'll tell you, the skin is too hard, too coarse, a bit like artificial leather, but the muscles and fat under the skin are much more delicious, the blood vessels and tendons are a little stuffed between the teeth, of course, the internal organs are the most delicious, the most tender, except for the smell of corpse fluid, wash it with water, it is much more delicious than pork liver and pig heart, a bit like the taste of white-cut mutton."
"However, the best thing to eat is still the brain of a zombie, use a saw to open the skull, don't use a hammer and an axe, use too much force, the brain will flow to the ground, and it will be ruined, and then use a small spoon, scoop and eat spoonful, or even use a thicker straw - just the kind of straw that drinks tofu brain, suck and eat......"
Wang Lu finally roared and jumped up from the chair: "Xu Ben, you neurotic!" Shut up! Shut up! β
Everyone in the Yashan caravan guarding outside the house heard Wang Lu's roar and didn't know what was going on. Loaded with guns and ammunition, they swarmed in, and surrounded Xu Ben, but Xu Ben seemed to have not seen the muzzle that almost stabbed him in the face, his eyes were shining, and there was spit hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he yelled desperately: "I want to say!" I'm going to say! The surname is Wang, I have not regretted eating zombies, I only regret one thing, and that is why I am so stupid. It was so late that I thought that I could eat zombie corpses and survive! Did you know? When I finally had the strength to climb over the wall and find the little girl next door, she had starved to death and turned into a zombie! It's not just her. In the more than 6 months that I have been besieged by zombies. The surviving villagers of our village. There were 17 people who desperately wanted to find food and zombies who were bitten, and 22 people starved to death! If I had thought earlier that zombie meat could be eaten, they wouldn't have to die. You don't have to die! β
Lu Kai, Sha Lin and the others looked at Xu Ben, who barked like a mad dog, and then looked at Wang Lu, who was standing there with a chair propped up, his face was pale, and he didn't know what to do. Outside the door, they actually faintly heard what Xu Ben said, and no one dared to say whether they would also eat zombie meat if they were in Xu Ben's situation.
Wang Bi'an walked up to Wang Lu and called softly, "Dad." Feng Haiqi also came to Wang Lu's side and whispered: "Wang Bomin is guarding by the anti-aircraft machine gun, if you give the order, ......"
Wang Lu hung his head tiredly and ordered, what order? Because the villagers of Jinglan Village eat zombies, do they want to slaughter the village themselves?
He waved his hand weakly: "Get out, all go out." β
Feng Haiqi didn't say a word, and took the team members out of the room, and even Wang Bian was pulled out.
After Xu Ben vented, he was actually timid in his heart, although the number of the Yashan caravan was small, there were heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns...... He saw Wang Lu return to the chair and sit down, pulling his face and not speaking, knowing that there was room for ease in this matter.
He bent his waist pitifully: "The leader of the king ......"
Wang Lu raised his hand and stopped his words: "Let me ask you, why do you continue to eat zombies after you have eaten zombie meat and survived the famine of being besieged?" β
Xu Ben breathed a sigh of relief, although Wang Lu's tone was fierce, but since he asked about these details, it means that he has let go of eating zombies, otherwise, why bother with the details of "whether to continue eating"? If you eat it, you eat it, and if you don't eat it, you don't eat it. If Wang Lu does not allow the villagers who have eaten zombies in his heart, he will kill them directly, so why bother to ask the east and the west.
Xu Ben knew that his next reply was the key, since Wang Lu was no longer entangled in the matter of eating corpses and dying, then he had to give him a reason, a clear reason to eat zombies in the last days......
He gritted his teeth: "Leader Wang, you have also seen that half of our Jinglan Village is old and young who can't work, and the surrounding areas are all mountains, so they can't grow any food, so they plant some sweet potatoes and potatoes to fill their stomachs, and even the survivors who rob the passing by by the tunnel - how can there be any travelers in this world now, and occasionally there is a survivor passing by, and he can grab a few catties of moldy rice, which is already counted." The sweet potato, after eating too much, sour water gushed out of the stomach, so sour that people couldn't sleep all night. I have no choice but to continue to eat zombies, because there are so many zombies, you have to go out a little and walk a few steps, and you can catch a few. β
Xu Ben looked at Wang Lu with a straight face, and said cautiously: "Of course, there is one more thing......" He hesitated for a moment, and finally stomped his foot: "I don't tell lies in front of the king leader, we found that after eating this zombie meat, for some reason, the zombies actually stopped attacking us, as if, as if they recognized us as the same kind." In this way, we can't stop eating zombie meat. Chief, do you know what is the most terrible thing in this world today? Isn't it a biochemical virus yet? If we can keep zombies from attacking us, we don't have to worry about a small wound to turn ourselves into zombies, what is it to eat some zombie meat? β
Wang Lu snorted: "If you don't eat zombie meat, will the zombies attack you immediately?" β
Xu Ben said: "If you don't eat zombie meat, after about two or three days, the zombies will no longer recognize us as companions, we have done experiments, so the guys who save the lives of our villagers are not weapons, knives and guns, but everyone has a small bag on their waists, which contains zombie jerky, and they take out a piece and chew it from time to time." It's not for hunger, but to maintain his ability to be mistaken for his own kind by zombies. β
Wang Lu snorted: "Old thing, the more you talk, the more proud you become, take zombie meat as a snack...... You're not afraid of disgusting death! β
Xu Ben nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I should be damned, old man." I'm a bastard. As he spoke, he slapped himself a few times, and the nosebleed, which had already congealed, flowed out again.
Wang Luxu kicked him: "Okay, fuck, don't pretend to be Lao Tzu, you obviously know that Lao Tzu can't bear to kill you, the number of our human survivors is too small, and we really shouldn't kill each other anymore." β
Xu Ben hurriedly said: "Thank you for the magnanimity of the king leader, and thank you for the grace of the king leader not to kill." β
Wang Lu glanced at Xu Ben: "After I leave." You're going to continue to eat zombie meat, right? He paused. didn't wait for Xu Ben to reply, he waved his hand with a wry smile: "I'm really stupid enough to ask such a question." He sighed: "You can grow some sweet potatoes on the hillside, make some sweet potato vermicelli and buy them for me." It also saves me the time I pass through here. Returned empty-handed. β
Xu Ben was overjoyed when he heard it. Knowing that Wang Lu had let go of the villagers, he was more willing to maintain business relations, and said busily: "It must be." There are a few old grandmothers in our village, and the sweet potato vermicelli is very good, uninterrupted, chewy, we must produce it in large quantities, and exchange it with the caravan of the leader of the king - no, no, look at what I say, compensation, it is compensation, this time the caravan of the leader of the king did not know the truth and bought a lot of jerky, so we will use the sweet potato vermicelli to offset the account. β
Wang Lu snorted coldly, moved his lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, you can do it yourself." He stood up and was about to leave.
Xu Ben suddenly stopped him again: "Leader Wang, Leader Wang, old man, I have a small request, look at Leader Wang, is it ......?"
Wang Lu said angrily: "What else is the matter?" β
Xu Ben cautiously looked at Wang Lu's face, and then said: "Leader Wang, it's like this, you see, you take the caravan around, that zombie is for you to pull the cart, if you find it convenient, can you, that, can you get a few zombies...... I mean, get some zombies from somewhere else and bring them to us. β
Wang Lu didn't understand at first, and pondered for a while--he immediately jumped up: "You old immortal, you yourself take the villagers to eat zombies Lao Tzu has been generous and not accountable, you actually want me to sell zombies from other places to feed you, damn, you yourself treat zombies as pigs and sheep, you actually want to drag me into the water to catch and sell zombies for you to eat." β
Xu Ben hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Leader Wang, don't be angry, don't be angry...... You listen to my old man say that many zombies in the vicinity of our village knew us before we were alive, and when we eat them, sometimes we feel like we are eating our friends and relatives, although we have to eat, but we also feel uncomfortable. If the king can catch some zombies for us from somewhere else..."
"Fart! Fuck your stinking fart! Wang Lu nodded at Xu Ben's nose and scolded: "Do you now remember that the zombies you ate were your relatives and friends before?" What about the zombies you used to eat? The first zombie you ate should be a villager in your Jinglan Village, right? Why didn't you feel guilty then? Now what are you pretending to be Lao Tzu? Pretend to be your sister! β
Xu Ben knew that the more Wang Lu scolded, the more it showed that he had been relieved from the fact that the villagers were eating zombie meat, and he could look at this matter from a more calm and objective perspective, anyway, throughout the ages, the villagers of Jinglan Village were not the first to eat corpses, nor were they the last to eat corpses, and the director of "The Fantasy of Pi" could make such a thing as eating corpses into a box office hit movie all over the world, why can't Lao Tzu eat it.
Wang Lu scolded Xu Ben again, his mouth was a little sour, looking at Xu Ben with his waist down, looking at himself pitifully like a pimply dog, his eyes were full of begging, and finally sighed: "Get out, in the future--fuck, don't eat zombies in front of Lao Tzu in the future!" β
Xu Ben knew that the crisis of the village being wiped out had passed, and nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, yes, there are a lot of leaders of the king, and there are a lot of leaders of the king." β
Wang Lu ignored him, strode out of the room, slammed the door, listened to Wang Lu's footsteps and went away, Xu Ben's feet weakened, and he sat down on the ground.
As soon as Wang Lu came out of the house, he beckoned to the caravan waiting at the door: "Pack up the cart, let's go, fuck, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay here for another minute." β
Although it was already night, sleeping in the wild was far from being comfortable in the village, but everyone in the caravan did not complain, because everyone was a little hiccup to the villagers of Jinglan Village eating zombies. Wang Lu walked over with his hands behind his back: "Li Yong, take down 20 zombies and stay in Jinglan Village." β
Li Yong unconditionally obeyed Wang Lu's order, and immediately released 20 zombies, Wang Lu said: "Wang Bomin said that there are hundreds of zombies locked up in a mansion in the center of the village, you can pick 20 from there to make up for them." β
Li Yong followed Wang Lu's instructions and quickly found the big mansion, he opened the door and saw that the black pressure inside was full of zombies. He was just about to command 20 strong and healthy zombies to go out. But for some reason, he suddenly stopped moving, and stood at the door for a long time, and then selected 20 zombies. Out. Locked. Brought back the caravan.
The carts of the caravan had already lined up and were ready to leave, and Wang Lu saw that Li Yong had arrived late. is strange - because the corpse is the best soldier, obeying orders is never wrong, the big house is very close to the archway at the entrance of the village, it is reasonable to say that Li Yong should not be late, seeing Li Yong with a group of zombies coming, he scolded angrily: "Why is it so slow, hurry up, set the car, go." With a wave of his hand, the cart that had been set up slowly started slowly under the command of Ding Wei in front.
Wang Lu was anxious, but he didn't notice that the 20 zombies in the old house in Jinglan Village selected by Li Yong were either women or children, and none of them were adult healthy zombies!
If you analyze it in depth, Li Yong has actually disobeyed Wang Lu's order, because Wang Lu asked Li Yong to pick 20 zombies to pull the cart, Li Yong should have picked 20 strong and powerful zombies, not sick and crooked women and children, but Li Yong somehow, but intentionally or unintentionally disobeyed Wang Lu's order - of course, this does not mean that Li Yong is rebelling against Wang Lu, because Wang Lu's order is "You pick 20 from there to make up for it", and did not make more and clearer requirements for the appearance and gender of zombies, Completely literally, the 20 women and children zombies picked by Li Yong did not disobey Wang Lu's orders. However, judging from Li Yongqing's selection of women and children's zombies to leave Jinglan Village, the place of corpse eating, he took advantage of the loopholes in Wang Lu's order to implement his will. It's a pity that this small detail, in the hurry, none of the people in the Yashan caravan noticed, including Wang Lu.
In Jinglan Village, the bonfire on the barn field was swept away by the heavy machine gun after the firewood and charcoal were sprinkled on the ground, still burning tenaciously, although the power of the heavy machine gun is strong, but once the spark is ignited, it is difficult to be completely extinguished, and when there is a chance, it will still burn until it burns itself and everything to ashes. There was a pop, followed by a bang, but it turned out to be a soup pot for cooking zombie meat pieces, because no one took care of the water for a long time, the fire actually burned through the bottom of the pot, and the pot made of ceramics was broken into several pieces.
The door of the house where the villagers of Jinglan Village were imprisoned was quietly pushed open, and Xu Ben's white-haired head was poked out, he looked left and right, confirmed that the people of the Yashan caravan had indeed left, hurriedly ran to the room where the villagers were closed, opened the locked door, and as soon as the door opened, the villagers cheered out and shouted in chaos.
"Yashan, these bastards, we are kind enough to entertain them, but they use knives and guns." -- This is an afterthought.
"Old village chief, old Xu Tou, your face is full of blood, Wang Lu, who killed a thousand knives, is really ruthless." --This is a dedication, when Wang Lu beat the old man Xu Ben on the barn, no one dared to stand up.
Of course, there are also people who have no heart and lungs, "Hurry, hurry, hurry." Go home and see if the group of robbers in Yashan have robbed us of all our things. β
Xu Ben stopped everyone's headless fly-like commotion: "What a mess, go, put out the fire on the threshing field, it's dry and dry this day, and it won't be good if the water runs out." β
Only then did everyone realize that it was not, there were already splashed sparks, and the mat on the floor was lit, so they hurriedly picked up water to extinguish the fire and clean up the barn, Xu Ben ignored these miscellaneous things, returned to his house, made a basin of hot water, washed his face, and changed his clothes.
After a while, several backbones of the village came to report that the barn was cleaned up, the door under the archway was closed, and everyone went back to their respective homes.
One of the young men said: "There are 20 zombies under the archway, not raised by our village, but it seems to be, it seems to be left by the people of Yashan." β
Regarding this matter, except for Xu Ben, everyone was puzzled, and some villagers quietly said: "What do you mean by Yashan people?" A slap in the face for a sweet slap? ThisγThis is too bullyingγ β
Xu Ben sighed: "The strength of the people is stronger than us, and there is nothing to say about bullying us, go, lock up the 20 zombies alone, and eat them first when the village has recently distributed rations." But he knew the origin of these 20 zombies, this was Wang Lu's agreement to trade with Jinglan Village, and since then, there has been another "zombie meat" on the cargo list of the Yashan caravan. The scientific name is "ultra-long-term meat".
The villagers of Jinglan Village said with palpitations: "Let's be careful, that Wang Lu seems to hate us for eating zombie meat, those 20 zombies should have been used by him to pull the cart, this dog still depends on the owner, we eat the zombies he used to pull the cart, if he starts a fire......"
Xu Ben shook his head: "You don't have to worry, this matter is over." He paused: "Wang Lu is a man with great strength, but at the same time he is also a smart person, you see, as long as we don't make a big zombie banquet in front of him, he will definitely tolerate us eating zombie meat." Because he knows as well as I do that the world has changed, and if this person does not change with it, he will only die. (To be continued......)
