Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh: sister pretending to be sick
Ask, when Lu Qing, who is very hungry, knows that there is something wrong with the food in front of her, should she eat it or not?
If you eat it, the secondary goal of "Don't eat meat from unknown sources" will fail, but just the failure of the secondary goal does not mean that Lu Qing's dream ends.
On the contrary, if you don't eat, it may increase the difficulty of the dream. Although the rewards will also increase, you will have to bear certain risks.
After struggling for a while, Lu Qing thought about it and asked her mother: "How are these meats stored in the basement? And since there is extra food, why did my father go out hunting before?"
"There is a refrigerator and a diesel generator in the basement, so the food is stored in the refrigerator. As for why your father went out hunting, it was just in case. After all, the food at home will be eaten up sooner or later." The mother listened.
When Lu Qing asked him, he answered without thinking too much.
"There's a problem!" Lu Qing narrowed her eyes subconsciously. Her mother's reaction was very abnormal. Although she was not an expert, she had seen almost everything on the Internet in her previous life, so she knew a little bit about some miscellaneous things.
.
Generally speaking, people have a thinking process when they are asked, but when my mother just answered her, it seemed that she had not thought about it at all.
This is probably because my mother has already prepared the answer to this question.
"Well, then the dried meat in the kitchen can't be wasted. I'll just eat the dried meat today." After thinking about it, Lu Qing pretended to be natural and said with a smile.
"Those dried meats have a long shelf life..." The mother shook her head, with a smile on her face, and said, "Let's eat these today."
With that said, without giving Lu Qing a chance to refuse, her mother turned around and left the living room, and went to the kitchen to bring two more dinner plates.
Just like the previous dinner plate, there were pieces of fried meat on the plate, exuding an alluring aroma.
After placing the plates and cutlery neatly on the dining table, the mother walked towards her sister's room, reached out and knocked on her sister's door.
"Son, it's time for you to come out for dinner." After knocking on the door for a while, the mother said softly to the wooden door.
"Well... I'm sorry, Mom, I feel a little sick in my stomach today." In the room, my sister's voice sounded a little weak.
"You have to eat even if your stomach feels uncomfortable. Maybe you're hungry?" the mother replied softly.
"..." There was silence in the room for a while, and my sister seemed to really feel a little uncomfortable. She said in a slow voice with a hint of crying: "No, I, I'm a little sick, and I'm very dizzy."
"Well, you should rest well today." The mother shook her head regretfully, then looked at Lu Qing and said: "Your sister has an upset stomach and can't eat. It seems that there are only three of us at the dinner table today.
"
While the mother was talking, she came to sit down at the dining table. The younger brother who was squatting in the corner in the distance also stood up and trotted over quickly.
I don't know if he didn't notice the distance or something, but my brother's toe accidentally hit the wooden leg of the chair.
Just when Lu Qing thought his brother would stop because of the pain, something strange happened.
The younger brother completely ignored the wound where his toe hit the wooden leg and sat on the wooden chair without saying a word, seemingly unaffected by the wound.
"What are you still doing standing there? Come over and eat." Mother glanced at Lu Qing and said to her with a smile.
"Um......"
Lu Qing nodded and then sat on the chair next to the dining table.
The mother slowly cut the food on the plate with the knife and fork in her hand, and just after the mother started eating, the younger brother sitting next to Lu Qing also began to move slowly.
He seemed to be struggling to pick up the cutlery, and then cut the meat with clumsy movements.
This attracted Lu Qing's attention. She observed her brother carefully and found that he seemed to be unable to control his body. He often used too much force or too little force, and his meat-cutting hands were constantly shaking.
Obviously my brother was very normal yesterday, why did he become like this today?
Before Lu Qing could think deeply about this issue, her mother's voice brought her back to reality.
"Ah Qing?" Mother raised her head and looked at the motionless Lu Qing and said softly.
"Uh." Lu Qing was a little uncomfortable with her mother's gaze. She thought for a while, then stood up, picked up two dinner plates and said:
"Even if I feel uncomfortable, not eating is not an option. I'll go to my sister's place and find a way to make her eat."
After saying that, without waiting for her mother to reply, Lu Qing took the plate and left the table.
Arriving at her sister's door, Lu Qing knocked on the door with her knee, and then whispered to the door: "Open the door, I know you are pretending."
In order to prevent the other party from not hearing, Lu Qing slightly raised her volume and said it again.
Shortly after she finished speaking, her sister's door was opened, but only a little, not completely.
Lu Qing also knew what this meant. She stretched out her foot to push the door open, let herself in, and then pushed the door shut with her back.
As soon as she walked into the house, Lu Qing saw her sister standing in front of her holding a worn-out bear doll.
At this time, the other party raised his head and stared at her expressionlessly, his calm ice-blue eyes like a frozen lake in winter.
"Have you ever thought about what to do with the food on your hands?" my sister said calmly.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Shaking her head, Lu Qing found a counter, put the dinner plate in her hand on it, then looked at her sister and said, "What about you, why are you pretending to be sick?"
"Same as you." My sister rolled her eyes and whispered: "I quietly went to the basement before, and there was no food there at all."
"Have you been to the basement?" Lu Qing felt a little surprised when he heard his sister's words, and then hurriedly said: "Then have you seen what's inside?"
"A burning gas stove, some old diesel generators, and..." My sister paused when she said this, and then continued: "There is a monster there, a dead monster.
.”
"Monster?" Lu Qing frowned and subconsciously glanced at the meat on the counter that was still exuding heat and fragrance.
If it is monster meat, it does not mean that it cannot be eaten. After all, there are too many monsters in the forest. Lu Qing's staple food in the future will definitely be the meat of those monsters.
My sister seemed to see what Lu Qing was thinking, and she said in a cold tone: "That monster looks like it was a human being."
"..." Lu Qing was silent.
Question: After mutating, a person becomes a monster that does not look human at all, or turns into another creature. Is this creature considered a human or not?
"It shouldn't be considered a human being, after all, zombies can't be called human beings, right?" Lu Qing asked and answered in her mind.
