Chapter 41 Burning the Corpse

Meng Ren felt that he was becoming more and more of a villain now. In his previous life, he was very kind, but now after his rebirth, even if he saw a living person being beaten to death, he didn't feel any sympathy in his heart. Instead, he felt comfortable.

"Very good, I like myself like this. In my previous life, I died because of the Virgin Heart. If this world is so cruel, then let me become a cruel villain!" A slightly ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Meng Ren's mouth. .

At this time, other people in the community did not know that Zhou Xue had been beaten to death. Everyone walked out of their homes and knocked on the neighbor's door.

You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.

Bodies were discovered one after another throughout the community. Most of these people died of heatstroke.

The temperature in the Extreme Heat Era was so high that it exceeded 40 degrees even inside the house. Due to the water and power outages, there was no way to turn on the air conditioner in the house.

Under such scorching heat, anyone with a slightly weaker constitution would not be able to withstand it.

These people died quietly. If Ou Mingxue hadn't brought it up, people probably wouldn't have known that so many people had died in the community.

Just a casual count revealed the deaths of hundreds of people, most of whom died in the past two days. Some of the corpses had begun to rot, and the horrible corpse odor was simply the smell of hell.

In the garden of the community, many corpses were piled here. Looking at this mountain-like corpse, everyone's face turned pale.

"Oh my god, it's so scary. I didn't expect so many people to have died in our community without knowing it. We didn't even notice it before."

"Yes, these people died quietly. No one even noticed that they were dead. This is really terrible."

"We won't die so mysteriously in the future, right?"

People were talking a lot, and an uneasy feeling continued to spread among the crowd.

Meng Ren also carried a few corpses down. He didn't want the building he was in to be polluted by the smell of corpses. He wouldn't be able to bear it by then.

He took a closer look and soon found Liu Hua among the corpses.

Meng Ren was not surprised by this. Liu Hua was shot by himself. In such hot weather, it was normal for him to die.

"Doctor Ou, there are too many corpses. We can't dig such a big hole. I think we should just burn them!" The guard, Lao Wang, stepped forward.

Ou Mingxue frowned and sighed in her heart: "There are indeed too many corpses. This is the only thing we can do now."

"Then let's burn it. Let's get some gasoline and use a fire to burn the body."

Everyone nodded and quickly got gasoline and poured it on the surface of the body.

boom!

As a fire was ignited, the gasoline burned instantly and spread to all parts of the body in a very short time.

All the corpses burned, and the blazing fire illuminated the entire community, which was very bright in the dark night.

As the corpse burned, a strong smell of meat wafted out. Many people present could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as they smelled the smell of barbecued meat.

"smell good!"

I don't know who said this, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little weird.

Ou Mingxue's expression changed: "Don't talk like that, these are the corpses of our kind."

But I don’t know if this sentence is useful. Anyway, the expressions of many people present have changed slightly.

These changes were all seen by Meng Ren. He took a deep look at everyone, then turned and left.

Now that the body has been burned, he has nothing to do here.

It was too hot outside and he couldn't bear it. He needed to go back to the air-conditioned room at home and enjoy life immediately.

After Meng Ren left, other people in the garden also left one after another, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the crowd seemed very dull.

Meng Ren looked at the backs of everyone leaving with a smile on his face.

"Looks like the fun stuff is about to begin."

"What would humans do if they were starved for a short period of time? It's really unimaginable."

Today is already the tenth day of the extremely hot era. Except for my own home, I am afraid that few households in the community have much food storage.

It is no exaggeration to say that most people have already started to run out of food.

Two days a day is bearable, but three or four days?

Can you still bear it then?

Without food, what will they use as food then?

In those ancient times of famine, there were allusions about Yi Zi eating each other. Although it was an allusion, it actually happened.

Meng Ren shrugged and didn't think about it anymore. He had been busy outside just now, but he was too hot.

He immediately walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower. After feeling comfortable, he changed his clothes and returned to the air-conditioned room.

"ah!"

"Comfortable!"

Meng Ren had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

While Meng Ren was enjoying himself at home, several people gathered here in another building.

These people are all young men. If you look closely, you can see that Karamatsu is inside.

"Brothers, we have been without food for a day. If we don't eat any more, I'm afraid we will starve to death."

"Trees will die if they are moved, and people will live if they are moved. We must find a way to get some food."

"And in the community, I know someone whose home has food." Karamatsu was the first to speak.

As soon as he spoke, everyone else's eyes fell on him.

"Brother Tang, the person you are talking about is not Meng Ren, right? That kid is very vicious and has a compound bow in his hand. If we rush up to him to ask for food, we will definitely be hit by a hornet's nest within range!"

"Liu Mei's lesson is right in front of me. I don't want to try it myself!" Zuo Xiangyu shrugged.

Yang Ping next to him also nodded: "Yeah, let's not provoke the evil star Meng Ren. That kid is a lunatic. He really dares to shoot arrows."

Karamatsu rolled his eyes: "I didn't say go find Meng Ren. Of course I know that kid is not easy to mess with. I was talking about other people."

"I'm talking about other people, such as Ou Mingxue."

What?

Zuo Xiangyu and Yang Ping were startled, and they both hesitated.

"Doctor Ou? Are you crazy? Doctor Ou is such a nice person, why should we attack her?" Yang Ping frowned.

Zuo Xiangyu also nodded.

Seeing that both of them refused, Karamatsu had no choice but to give up and then set his target on another family.

After some discussion, the three of them decided on the action plan. Yang Ping had a smile on his face: "Leave the unlocking to me. I learned to unlock from a master before, and ordinary security doors can't stop me at all."
