Chapter 439
"Why do you feel this way?"
"I don't really want to eat mutant beasts, I want to eat..."
"Do you remember how you can eat people?"
"Well, I think so."
Tengrui answered readily, but it stumped me. I only tasted the taste of blood, and my desire for human flesh was not that strong.
Only Nini in our team has eaten human flesh, but she has eaten dead human flesh. Since she inherited my bloodline, she has not shown any interest in human flesh.
"Don't make a fuss, as long as you can hold it up, it's not a big deal." I was afraid of causing any psychological burden to Tengrui, so I could only talk about it lightly.
Moreover, these words were not purely comforting. He no longer remembered what happened to Tengrui during his detention. It is very likely that he was eating people out of forced .
If he can resist this impulse, the past will be allowed to pass. Even if someone comes to claim the "human life debt" in the future, that will be the future.
Teng Rui glared at me angrily, I was stared at him inexplicably, and glared back innocently. The two eyes stalemate for a few seconds, Teng Rui couldn't help but say:
"Eating people is not a trivial matter!"
He looked serious and his expression was serious. I realized that this matter could not be fooled by a few words of comfort. He seemed to mind it very much.
I have never encountered a similar problem. Besides, it involves "human life", so I can't explain it clearly in a few words.
To be honest, there is only the principle of killing people to pay for their lives. To be flexible, even I think that being cannibalized is wrong, so how can he accept this matter calmly?
Besides, Tengrui is already an adult, and he may not be able to listen to the truth when he tells him a lot.
I put myself in my shoes and thought about it. If I had eaten someone in a specific situation, would I forgive myself?
"As long as the food is a stranger, I will forgive myself." I organized the language several times, and finally I just gave a simple sentence.
No matter how much you say, the facts are the facts. Tengrui must have his own judgment. I had no intention of reversing his thoughts, so I just talked about the matter and said whatever I thought in my heart.
A trace of surprise flashed across Tengrui's face. He might not have expected that I would say so bluntly, whether it was cold or selfish, I would not commit suicide by eating strangers.
Of course, we also need to distinguish whether we are sane when eating. For example, Song Enru and others, after being infected into ordinary zombies, they have no reason or memory at all, and they rely on instinct to compete for food.
They only have 'food', no 'people', and no cognition of 'I am human', they are no longer themselves.
I think Tengrui knows this truth, but he just can't get through the level in his heart.
A strong person must learn to bear hardship and move forward bravely in good times.
Whether to stop or continue to move forward depends on whether Tengrui can figure it out.
Tengrui's eyes turned to the riverside. He knew that Xiao Zhang was also a high-ranking zombie. He moved his lips and looked entangled.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What about them?"
I didn't say anything, nodded slightly, Tengrui's eyes dimmed, and he asked again, "Where are you?"
Tengrui urgently needs a sense of belonging now. He must be afraid that he will become an alien, but I must tell the truth: "Drink a little blood."
"You're lucky."
"That's right."
"The other zombies in the camp... Forget it, I don't want to know."
"Tengrui, I can only say that under normal circumstances, you cannot desire human flesh."
"Yeah, thank you."
Looking at Tengrui's lonely face, I admit that I am a lucky person, but I cannot be lucky forever. Just like the sun and shadows accompany each other, luck and bad luck are also good friends who are inseparable.
He might envy me for not eating anyone at this moment, but if he knew that I had experienced those things, he would definitely not envy me.
I thought he would want to be alone and quiet, but he suddenly spoke and asked me to tell me about my experience.
Xiao Zhang washed his prey and walked back to the stove pit, put the cut pieces of meat on the barbed wire mesh. Song Enru and Xiao Yang picked up two large bundles of firewood, Xiao Zhang set up a fire and set up the barbed wire mesh with the pieces of meat on the fire to roast it.
Teng Rui did not urge me to tell my experience because he was interrupted by them. We barbecued meat silently around the fire and ate silently. After finishing the meal, Teng Rui looked at me eagerly, as if signaling me to tell a bedtime story.
My experience is not a state secret, so I am not afraid to tell them, so I started with my parents holding me up with pickles and telling them one by one, whether interesting, nervous or terrifying, I encountered, like a story.
The process of becoming a zombie was not cruel and bloody. I still think it’s quite interesting to recall it, which is exactly what I’m lucky.
But later I suffered a lot of sins and suffered a lot of hardships after several life and death, and was motivated by crises and difficulties to this day.
If I don’t have those life and death, my superpowers would not have improved so quickly.
It is no wonder that Tengrui's expression changed several times during the process of telling me.
He said that the people, corpses and monsters I met were even more novel and terrifying than what he saw in the movie.
"Young people, movies are people's imagination, but reality will always exceed people's imagination." I said slowly.
Tengrui said "其" unconvincedly and said, "I just forgot. My ability to survive in the end of the world is definitely no worse than that of you!"
I said in disgrace, "There are definitely not as many monsters as me."
"That's not necessarily. Didn't you say there are many strange things in Death Paradise? Maybe what you see is just the tip of the iceberg, I am their internal employee..."
"You are a laborer who has captured, and your range of activities is limited and you can't escape your one-acre and three-point land~"
Tengrui grinned in anger, obviously still dissatisfied. I don’t understand why he was so persistent about the monsters he saw. Perhaps it was because of the boy’s competitive spirit.
But he really doesn't remember the experience of working for someone and guarding the Paradise of Death, so he couldn't find any refutation of me. He stumbled on his neck and said nothing in the end.
Teng Rui, who lost his memory of the end of the world, talked more clearly than before. Since he joined our team, he has basically not talked about the past.
Now after listening to my experience, he also began to talk about him, such as where he went to school, what sports he liked, and who his best friend was.
Only then did I realize that his biological father died in a car accident when he was very young, and he had no impression of his biological father.
Later, his mother quickly remarried. His stepfather was a loyal and honest man who treated him like his own son and often took him to sea to play.
It was when his stepfather died that he realized that they were not their father and son. At that time, his stepfather got cancer and died three months later. After that, the disaster broke out and his mother was unfortunately infected.
The bonfire has a special charm, as if this warm light can shine into people's hearts and make people pour out the stories that have been buried in their hearts for a long time.
Tengrui had never mentioned his family situation in detail before. Now after hearing what he said, I remembered that when I forced him to tell me about Lao Qiao's whereabouts, he only said that his father died when he was very young.
Later, he drove a speedboat to take us to Taiwan Province, and said that he followed his father to learn to drive the boat at the age of twelve. It turned out that the two fathers were not the same person.
Tengrui also said that because his mother was busy with work and his father often went to sea, he was always placed in the house of his neighbor Aunt Wan from kindergarten to elementary school.
When I heard him talk about Aunt Wan, I only felt grateful but not a little ambiguous in my words, and I felt a little touched for a moment.
Some love affairs only occur under special circumstances, such as a closed environment and a strong sense of loneliness, which makes people feel that there are only each other in the world. It is estimated that the two of them belong to this situation.
Tengrui never asked me about his relationship with Aunt Wan again, and he would not mention it if he didn't ask me.
The quiet night turned into a story conference, and we told our own stories one by one.
Song Enru also talked about her experience, including that love triangle. When she mentioned Luo Luo's brother, she only had sadness and no resentment in her eyes.
I think she had let go of that relationship. No matter what her purpose was to go to Africa, she really devoted herself to that job later.
We not only talk about the experiences after the end of the world, but also about the past, which gives us more understanding of each other.
The warm fire reflected on everyone's face. We seemed to be hikers who gathered together by chance, talking about interesting topics in their respective lives.
However, as she talked, the topic jumped from the past to the present. On the way, Song Enru had already told Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang that she was going to Xindu to inquire about her parents.
Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang naturally wanted to follow her to the end, so the three of them began to discuss how to get into Xindu, and who would ask for information after getting into it?
It is difficult for others to get into the new, but Song Enru's superpowers are simply prepared to get into the new, so I told them that they don't have to worry about the first step, and they can directly discuss the next issue.
While the three of them continued to discuss, Tengrui asked me a question quietly: "Have you ever thought about participating in the freshman's talks?"
"No, do you think I should go?"
"Everyone is... maybe..."
"Humans still have hope, maybe everything can be started again."
"You can guarantee that you will find that time and space tunnel. Those documents may have been destroyed long ago. If you can't find them for decades, the world will be the world of zombies by then."
"The worst result is that zombies dominate the world, so why not give it a try?"
"Well, that's right. At worst, I can destroy the earth. Alas~ Maybe I just don't like the feeling of being in vain."
"You are younger than me, okay? Boy!"
"I'm not old enough to grow old, and you don't have the passion for your youth."
"What kind of young lady, call it the boss."
"Why do you look the same as her?" A sudden voice interrupted our conversation.
We were stunned and all looked at the woman lying on the stone.
She turned her head and looked at us with her eyes open, staring at my face.
She seemed to have just woken up and didn't hear the story we just had just had, nor did she hear me telling her own experience.
So, I simply repeated the reason why Alpha has the same appearance as me.
She seemed much calmer, and she didn't cry or make a fuss after waking up. I felt relieved in my heart, and she finally began to pay attention to things other than men.
But she said something that surprised me deeply. Her eyes swept across others and asked them the questions.
"You believe what she said?"
Everyone else was stunned by the question, and Song Enru asked back: "Is it necessary for her to lie?"
"What if they were the same person?" the woman asked again.
This question is absolutely terrifying. Women are the only ones who have seen Alpha and I appear at the same time.
As a result, she actually asked such a question. I really couldn't understand her brain circuit and secretly wondered, did I accidentally smash her brain when I knocked her out?
Song Enru looked faint and asked, "What is the basis for you to doubt her?"
"I know what the power of the new leader is."
