Chapter 41: Burning the Body
Meng Ren felt that he was becoming more and more of a villain now, and he was very kind in his previous life, but now after being reborn, even if he watched a big living person being killed, he didn't have the slightest sympathy in his heart, but felt comfortable.
"Very good, I like myself like this, in my previous life, I died because of the heart of the Virgin, if this world is so cruel, then let me be a cruel villain!" The corners of Meng Ren's mouth outlined a slightly hideous smile.
At this time, the other people in the community didn't know that Zhou Xue had been killed, and everyone walked out of their own homes, and then went to knock on the door of the neighbor's house.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.
Bodies were found in the entire community one after another, and most of these people died from heat stroke.
The temperature in the Extreme Heat Era is too high, even in the house there are more than 40 degrees, because of the water and electricity outage, there is no way to turn on the air conditioning in the house.
Under such a hot temperature, a slightly weaker physique can't hold it at all.
These people died quietly, if it weren't for Ou Mingxue's propose, I'm afraid people wouldn't know that so many people had died in the community.
Just a random count found that hundreds of people died, most of them basically died in the past two days, and some people's bodies have begun to decompose, and the terrible corpse stench is simply the smell of hell.
In the garden of the community, many corpses were piled up here, and looking at the corpses like a hill, everyone's faces turned a little pale.
"My mother, it's really terrible, I didn't expect so many people to die in our community unconsciously, and we didn't even notice it before."
"yes, these people died quietly, and no one even found out that they were dead, which is really terrible."
"We're not going to die like this in the future, are we?"
There was a lot of discussion, and a sense of unease continued to spread among the crowd.
Meng Ren also carried a few corpses down, and he didn't want the building he was in to be polluted by the smell of corpses, and he couldn't stand it at that time.
He took a closer look and soon found Liu Hua's figure in these corpses.
Meng Ren was not surprised by this, Liu Hua was shot and injured by himself, and it was normal for him to die in such a hot weather.
"Doctor Ou, there are too many corpses, we can't dig such a big pit, I think we should just burn it!" The doorman Lao Wang stepped forward.
Ou Mingxue frowned, and she sighed in her heart: "There are indeed too many corpses, and now we can only do this." ”
"Then let's burn it, let's get some gasoline, and then burn the corpse with a fire."
Everyone nodded, and quickly got gasoline and poured it on the surface of the corpse.
Rumble!
As a fire ignited, the gasoline instantly burst into flames, spreading throughout the corpse in a fraction of the time.
All the corpses burned, and the raging fire lit up the entire neighborhood, which was very bright in the night.
As the corpse burned, a strong smell of meat wafted out, and many people present couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when they smelled the smell of barbecue meat.
"It smells so good!"
I don't know who said such a sentence, which suddenly made the atmosphere of the scene a little weird.
Ou Mingxue's face changed: "Don't talk like that, these are corpses of our kind." ”
But I don't know if this sentence is useful, anyway, the expressions of many people present have changed slightly.
Meng Ren saw these changes, he took a deep look at everyone, and then turned to leave.
Now that the body has been burned, there is nothing else to do with him here.
It was too hot outside, and he couldn't stand it, so he needed to go back to the air-conditioned room at home immediately to enjoy life.
After Meng Ren left, the other people in the garden also left one after another, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere of the crowd was very dull.
Meng Ren looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Looks like fun is about to begin."
"What can humans do when they are starving for a very short time? I can't imagine it. ”
Today is the tenth day of the extremely hot era, and I am afraid that there are not many families in the community who still have much food in store except for their own homes.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the vast majority of people have already started to run out of food.
One day or two is bearable, but what about three days and four days?
Will you be able to endure it then?
If there is no food, what will they take as food?
In those famine years in ancient times, there were allusions to the cannibalism of Yi Zi, although it was an allusion, but this was a real thing.
Meng Ren shrugged his shoulders and didn't think about it anymore, he was busy working outside just now, but it made him hot.
He immediately went into the bathroom and took a cool shower, got comfortable, changed his clothes and returned to the air-conditioned room.
"Ahh
"Comfortable!"
Meng Ren had a look of enjoyment on his face.
And while Meng Ren was enjoying himself at home, in another building, several people gathered here.
These people were all young men, and if you looked closely, Tang Song was in it.
"Brothers, we have been without food for a day, and if we don't eat food again, I'm afraid we will starve to death."
"Trees are dead, people are alive, we have to find a way to get some food."
"And in the community, I know anyone who has food in their home." Tang Song was the first to speak.
As soon as he spoke, the eyes of the others fell on him.
"Brother Tang, the person you are talking about should not be Meng Ren, right? That kid is fierce, he has a compound bow in his hand, if we rush up to him to ask for food, we will definitely be hit by the range hornet's nest! ”
"Liu Mei's experience is right in front of me, I don't want to defy the law!" Zuo Xiangyu shrugged his shoulders and said.
Yang Ping next to him also nodded: "Yes, let's not provoke Meng Ren's evil star, that kid is crazy, he really dares to shoot arrows." ”
Tang Song rolled his eyes: "I didn't say to go to Meng Ren, of course I know that kid is not easy to mess with, I'm talking about other people." ”
"I'm talking about other people, like Ou Mingxue."
What?
Zuo Xiangyu and Yang Ping were startled, and both of them hesitated.
"Doctor Ou? Are you crazy? Doctor Ou is so good, let's attack her? Yang Ping frowned.
Zuo Xiangyu was also nodding.
Seeing that both of them refused, Tang Song had no choice but to give up, and then set his sights on another family.
After the three of them discussed and determined the plan of action, Yang Ping had a smile on his face: "Leave the matter of unlocking to me, I learned to open locks with a master before, and ordinary security doors can't stop me at all." ”
