Chapter 404 The man-eating monster
Therefore, after discussion, everyone decided to dig out all the crystal cores and hand them over to Li Luo for safekeeping.
It won’t be too late to make the distribution after this phase of the operation is over.
.........
the other side.
Inside the factory.
Lu Jingcheng took the factory floor map he found in the communication room and led the members of the Fiery Team to the door of a warehouse where various machines and equipment were stored.
The hydraulic door of the warehouse was closed.
There was a thick layer of dust on the card swipe door lock device next to it.
It can be seen that no one has been here for a long time.
Lu Jingcheng followed Li Luo's method and used his gold-based abilities to melt open the door.
The next second, a foul odor hit me in the face.
The disgusting smell cannot be blocked even with a mask.
"vomit---"
"vomit---"
“Ahem—”
Several members of the Fiery Team who were standing closer to the door were choked by the strong stench and couldn't help but dry heave.
They are all familiar with this smell.
It's the smell of a rotting corpse!
Just like the smell of those zombies!
The only difference is that the smell is extremely strong, so strong that it makes it difficult for people to open their eyes.
The first reaction of the crowd was,
There might be zombies in there!
But Lu Jingcheng didn't think so.
Because if there were zombies inside, the noise he made when he melted the door just now would have attracted them here.
Why would I wait till now?
Still so quiet?
So, without thinking, he took the first step forward and entered the warehouse.
When the people behind him saw this, they quickly realized that the people inside were probably not zombies.
Then they all quickened their pace and followed in.
However, the scene inside the house made everyone's scalp tingle.
I saw dozens of highly decayed corpses that looked like giants lying in the open space opposite the warehouse door.
Each body had varying degrees of injuries.
But they were so badly decomposed that the cause of death could not be determined without an autopsy.
Moreover, the surface of these corpses was covered with a layer of white frost.
But what they were wearing, one could vaguely see, were summer work clothes.
From this, it can be inferred that they died within a week before the extreme cold came.
Fortunately, it is still an extremely cold period. If the temperature were any higher, the scene would be thousands of times more disgusting than it is now.
At this time, Shao Guang, who was standing at the edge of the warehouse, pointed at a pile of debris in the corner and exclaimed:
"There's a dead body behind that one!"
"It's six skeletons!"
Shao Guang is now a level 5 eye-enhancement psychic, and the thickness of his vision has also increased a lot.
So, he just glanced at the corner and found something unusual behind the pile of miscellaneous items.
As soon as Shao Guang finished speaking, Lu Jingcheng swung a mini tornado at the pile of debris.
He controlled the wind and blew the debris aside.
I saw a small pile of white human bones in the corner.
The most eye-catching thing is the six empty skulls.
However, what is sad is that two of the skulls are nearly half the size of the other four.
You can tell at first glance that it is a child's skull.
Everyone moved closer to the corner and observed the pile of bones carefully from close range.
I saw that the bones were clean, without any flesh or blood, just like the skeletons in a museum.
There was not a single bit of human tissue on the ground.
The "clean" corpses here are a world apart from the dozen or so "biological bombs" before!
After seeing this scene, everyone came to a conclusion.
That pile of human bones,
It must have been carefully handled by someone!
Then,
who did it?
Why does he do this?
The answer is about to come out!
Those who can join the Fire Team are not greenhouse flowers living in peacetime.
During the prosperous times, they fought wits and courage with all kinds of evil criminals and lived in the midst of bullets for a long time.
They are well-informed and have come into contact with endless amounts of evil.
Everyone quickly deduced from the existing clues that the owner of the pile of bones must have been eaten!
As for who ate them,
The answer is obvious!
At this moment, Chai Yutong and Zhou Mei, the only two girls in the Fiery Team, could no longer hold back the churning in their stomachs.
They turned around and ran to the corner and vomited.
"vomit---"
"vomit---"
The two of them wanted to vomit out last night's meal.
This is cannibalism!
Not a description!
Not a metaphor!
It's real cannibalism!
It is not difficult to guess why such a tragedy happened.
You can see it from the dust on the card swiping door lock device outside the warehouse door.
Those people should have entered this warehouse at the beginning of the apocalypse.
The time of death of the pile of skeletons could not be determined, but the time of death of the other pile of highly decomposed corpses could be estimated.
It took about three months from the end of the world to the extreme cold. In other words, those people stayed here for three months.
Three months is not a long time.
Not short.
But what if food is scarce?
So the phenomenon of eating and human beings.
Perhaps it's no surprise.
.........
Everyone in the Fire Team could imagine how desperate these people were at that time.
Outside the door is a man-eating monster.
Isn't it the same for those inside the door?
Either they are eaten by zombies, or they are eaten by their own kind, or they eat their own kind.
Either choice is extremely cruel.
Maybe that's why.
The remaining people,
That’s why you won’t be able to hold on.
After all, there were more than a dozen rotting corpses.
If there are those who want to survive, they will surely be able to hold on by relying on the flesh of their companions.
Of course, these are just speculations.
No one can verify what happened here during those three months.
And the truth is only known by those who died.
.........
Lu Jingcheng looked at the depressed people and said:
"Okay, let's go recycle resources and stop standing here."
Lin Hai, who was closest to him, hesitated and said, "Captain, these victims..."
What he meant was how to deal with these bodies.
Lu Jingcheng looked at him and said, "I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it. Just go and do your own tasks."
When everyone heard this, they responded:
"Yes! Captain!"
At this time, Chai Yutong and Zhou Mei, who were vomiting heavily in the corner on the other side, also recovered.
Commit to your tasks.
Seeing that the team members had dispersed, Lu Jingcheng used his wind power to lift up the pile of bones and transported them to the pile of rotting corpses.
Then, he threw a basketball-sized fireball at the pile of corpses on the ground.
The corpse was ignited the moment it came into contact with the fireball.
