457: Breeding insects
"Everyone wake up and eat!" Wu Gen called out softly.
And he didn't even need to call them.
After smelling the aroma of the porridge, the entire survivor camp of over eighty people 'voluntarily' gathered around.
"This rice, Wu Gen, where did you get it?"
In the crowd, someone stared with wide eyes at the hot porridge before them.
And next to this pot of porridge, there was still a bag and a half of rice!
Wu Gen didn't hide anything: "I snatched it from Lu Chao."
"Lu Chao?" In the crowd, Zhou Shou frowned slightly: "How did he have so much grain?"
"Zhao Ling gave it to him." Wu Gen explained casually: "Zhao Ling gave Lu Chao and that girl two bags of rice."
"Then you just snatched it like that?" In the crowd, a person who had a decent relationship with Lu Chao questioned.
But Wu Gen shook his head with a smile, then suddenly said fiercely: "I killed him, and then snatched the rice!"
As soon as he said this, the person who questioned him turned pale and retreated into the crowd.
However, someone else spoke up.
"What?! How could you do such a thing?" Zhou Shou suddenly flared up.
"Why can't I do this? Didn't we cause that girl's death yesterday? Now you, Old man, are pretending to be a good person?"
"That's different!" Zhou Shou was full of anger: "That girl's purpose was for everyone to relax, but Lu Chao still had to go find food for us. If you killed him, who will take his place?"
"I'll take his place, is that okay?" Wu Gen understood what the other party meant and replied coldly.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Shou immediately smiled: "That's settled then."
"Come, come, everyone eat!"
After speaking, the Old man called out to the people around him.
"This is the grain Zhao Ling left for Lu Chao and that girl. After we caused their deaths, and then eat their grain, aren't we eating human blood steamed buns?"
Holding an empty bowl, A Man adjusted his greasy glasses and looked at Wu Gen before him.
"TMD, what do you want to say?" Wu Gen frowned, looking at the guy before him.
But A Man held his bowl, his expression changed, and he said with a face full of flattery: "I just want it a little thicker."
Wu Gen snorted lightly and scooped from the bottom.
In fact, everyone knew that this grain was the human blood steamed buns of Nie Xiaoqiao and Lu Chao!
It was just that everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.
The food was right in front of them, no matter how it came to be.
Many people even found one bowl wasn't enough and asked for another.
Would eating this kind of food cause guilt? Everyone only cared about whether they could eat their fill.
The white porridge was running out.
Looking at the people licking their bowls, Wu Gen raised his hands, signaling everyone to look over.
"Everyone listen up."
"These two bags of rice were given by Zhao Ling to Lu Chao and that girl. Logically, as a part of our camp, Zhao Ling's grain should have all been distributed to us, but he didn't!"
"He took it upon himself to give it to others!"
"It was I, Wu Gen, who chased the grain back, made it into porridge, and gave it to everyone to eat!"
"Everyone say, was what I did right or wrong?"
"You did right!" In the crowd, someone holding their white porridge cheered.
"Wu Ge is the one who truly thinks of our own people!" Voice after voice, filled with strong admiration.
Wu Gen, with a face full of smiles, pressed his hands down: "Here, I want to tell everyone some news."
"Zhao Ling might still come back in the days to come."
"Everyone also knows what happened yesterday."
"I hope that when Zhao Ling comes, everyone will unify their statements and just say that the girl ran outside during the rain and was dragged away by the Zombies."
As soon as he said this, the Men who had laid hands on Nie Xiaoqiao yesterday nodded in shock.
But those onlookers from last night quietly looked left and right.
"Hey, you people who just watched yesterday, you also ate the rice Zhao Ling left for that girl today. You clearly knew it was the life-saving rations Zhao Ling left for her, and you ate bowl after big bowl. Now you want to distance yourselves?"
Wu Gen said with a sneer, and then placed his hand on the remaining rice next to him: "If you don't give me an answer, the rice here can only be distributed to the brothers who took action yesterday."
"If you want to eat, you can only go find it yourselves."
After his words spread, there were immediate voices in the crowd.
"Wu Ge, what are you saying?" In the crowd, a young Man pushed his glasses: "Didn't that girl named Nie Xiaoqiao run out by herself when it was raining and get dragged away by the Zombies?"
"When did it become everyone forcing her to death?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The people behind all nodded in agreement.
Afraid of answering too slowly and not having porridge to drink tomorrow.
Some people in the crowd even started cursing Zhao Ling.
He found so much grain, yet he thought of keeping it all to himself, and even gave it directly to others without going through them!
But they hadn't thought.
How much precious grain Zhao Ling and Nie Fangping had brought them in this apocalypse.
But just as Zhao Ling had left, and Nie Fangping had just died.
The girl one person was designated to protect, the only relative of another, was tortured to death in the abuse!
Nie Fangping had been watching this scene from the shadows.
As the wings on his back trembled, they carried a hint of bloodthirsty happiness.
Yes, happiness!
Originally, his rationality would have told him that some things couldn't be generalized, and that there might be innocent people among these individuals.
Now it seemed his conclusion from yesterday was absolutely correct.
These people were not innocent.
When he took action, he didn't need any psychological burden at all!
You say there are still kind people in this world?
After the apocalypse arrived, people who considered others like that had already died out in the first two months!
Conscience was just a piece of meat in the mouths of others in the apocalypse!
"Buzz buzz buzz ~"
As his wings vibrated, Nie Fangping flew towards the subway tunnel.
In the tunnel at this time, there was only the corpse of his younger sister, Nie Xiaoqiao.
The other corpses had all been gnawed clean by this time, with not even bones left.
In the shadows, thirty Swarm Larva waited for Nie Fangping's next command.
And in the underground insect nest made by hollowing out the soil, a fungal mat was now spread out with the efforts of five Nest Builders.
As the fungal mat spread out, it also indicated that Nie Fangping could create the most offensive option among the choices: the [Blade Worm]!
Looking at the 170 energy points in the blood-red light screen, Nie Fangping said directly: "System, breed fifty Blade Worm, thirty Armor Worm, and ten Tool Worm."
If these insects were created, the energy would be just enough to be completely consumed.
It was also after his words fell that Ye Tian in the System space patted Xiao Zao: "Time to work, let me see how capable the insects you make are."
Xiao Zao snorted proudly: "Just wait to have your jaw dropped by this System's talent."
Outside.
After Nie Fangping's voice fell, the System's voice also appeared.
"Ding ~ Blade Worm are breeding, estimated ten minutes."
After the voice fell, a countdown appeared before his eyes.
The nest built by five Nest Builders could only breed ten insects at a time, and the time to breed one batch was ten minutes.
