"Are you alright?"

The girl's face was covered by the sun, and she squatted beside Kyung Won, holding her face in both hands and looking down.

"Thanks to you, I'm fine." Kyungwon sat up on the ground.

He looked sideways into the distance, at the giant monster.

"Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know, but it's not a good thing anyway, it's what caused the earthquake."

"It?"

"It just pulled its roots out of the mud, and then it shook."

"Is that so?"

"Leave it alone, you want canned food." She pointed to the cans lined up on the ground: "Canned luncheon meat, canned beef, canned yellow peaches, canned peas, I found these, they are all expired, you will eat them." ”

"Thank you." Kyungwon picked up one of the cans, pried it open, and poured it into his mouth.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't expire, as long as it's not an inorganic substance like mud, he needs to supplement nutrients very much, and he eats several cans in one go, all of which are canned meat, and protein is very important to him.

It just so happened that there was no house to cover him now, and he could soak up the sun again, and he could feel the wound on his leg healing, and the bacteria wriggled there, like a hard-working employee, repairing the damaged body tissues.

"The pilot, I buried him by the way."

"Buried." Kyung Won was stunned.

"I dug a pit at the door and threw him in, and didn't put a tombstone on him."

"But you're not." Kyungwon still remembers the savage way she gobbled up and chewed with her mouth closed.

Even if it was charred, it must have been a rare delicacy for her, and it could even be said to be a necessity for survival.

He's experienced that feeling, it's crazy, it's addictive.

"Didn't you say you thought cannibalism was disgusting?"

"So. You just buried him? ”

"yes, what's the problem?" She tilted her head to look.

"Don't you want to eat?"

"Yes."

"So. You're for me. Hold back? ”

"Because you said it's disgusting to eat people, I buried him, can there be any other reason?"

She replied so bluntly, without beating around the bush.

"I thought so."

"Thought I'd eat him? Luckily, I don't really need to eat, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not, it's for you, and for me, food is a 'luxury' rather than a 'necessity', but to be honest, I'd love to try his brain, I feel like I can learn a lot. ”

"Won't you be hungry? Won't have that addictive feeling? ”

"No, I can get nutrients directly from the mycelium mesh underground, and as long as I'm still standing on this land, I won't be hungry."

"It's like this, if you want to describe it, it feels like charging a mobile phone." As she spoke, a vine behind her broke through the ground and reached inside.

She's showing Kyung-won how she gets her energy.

Kyung-won didn't have this ability, he was in the sewers, and his body had been wrapped in those mycelium nets, but they didn't deliver nutrients to Kyung-won, and Kyung-won couldn't control them.

This part of the authority does not belong to him, and he seems to have no other way to use the mycelium net except to use the underground network to look at the map.

"Human flesh and blood, for me, are like mellow wine, although I want to drink it, but I can't drink it, and I won't die, except for the knowledge and memory in their brains, eating or not eating people, I don't have any effect on it except sensory experience."

"After all, I don't have to eat people, live pigs, live cows, live sheep, living people, in my eyes, there is no essential difference between these four creatures, as long as they are living creatures, they are our food, aren't they?"

"If I had known that you would feel disgusting eating people, then I would have gone to find some other 'tonic', but I don't know if I could find it, after all, it seems that only living people can eat here, and other creatures are not so adaptable to survive in this environment."

"Thank you for being willing to respect my thoughts."

"Do as the locals do, at least for now, I will respect your faith and will try not to make you feel uncomfortable."

"Thank you."

"It's too early to say thank you, I haven't decided what to do with you yet."

"Dispose of me?"

"You're not going to forget what you've done, are you?" Piercing eyes.

"Me?" Kyungwon pointed his finger at himself blankly.

"It's really forgetful." She rubbed her temples: "Why do you think I appeared, it's because you left my sister behind, you left her there all winter, so I'm still deciding, whether to kill you, or to wake up my sister and let her meet you, but if I let her meet you, I will definitely forgive you at once, oh my God, that's really bad." ”

“.” Kyungwon was silent for a moment: "Do I have a bad impression in your mind?" ”

"To be honest, I want to kill you now, bury you with that guy just now, originally we were also hostile, according to the laws of nature, you should die now and can't die anymore."

"You want to kill me, so why save me?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just doing the necessary audit work, if the audit passes, I will wake my sister up, if the audit fails, then I will kill you."

"How do you want to audit me?"

"Didn't I say that? The review has already begun, and as soon as I feel that you are not up to par, I will take you out. ”

"What is the standard?"

"There is no standard, I think you don't pass, then I'll kill you, and then pretend that you never appeared."

Although she was smiling, Kyungwon didn't think it was a joke.

I probably understand why there is a sense of alienation and unfamiliarity between her and her, when she speaks, although she will have a tone, although she will make expressions on her face, although she will laugh, but in fact, she does not have so many emotions.

It is true that she has many people's memories and knowledge, perhaps it is really the memories and knowledge obtained by eating hundreds of people, but she does not understand what "feelings" are from these memories and knowledge.

Her tone, her smile, her movements, the emotion and respect she showed outwardly, were all a clumsy imitation, based on what she knew.

She saw that humans laughed, humans added modal words when they spoke, and humans made body movements when they spoke, so she did it.

It's a rational monster that, like a computer, mechanically processes programs and processes.

Although he was able to talk to her like a normal person, it was all based on her existing memory reserves.

She is like an AI that learns and evolves in iterations, and even if she absorbs the memories of hundreds of people, she still can't hide her essence.
