Chapter three hundred and thirteen: blood red wine
Seeing Xu Ye's disgusted look, Wang Jingze sighed and explained: "This is the only food available in this place. Rice, flour, etc. are not available."
Xu Ye frowned and asked, "Are these things really edible?" It's not surprising that Xu Ye disliked them, because the taste of these foods was really not that good.
Zheng Zhuo on the side saw this and smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Ye, many people have tried it. These things are indeed edible. You have to fill your stomach."
Everyone nodded in understanding. It would be a good thing to have food in this place. There are so many requirements.
Everyone gradually started to eat. After thinking for a while, Xu Ye picked up a small piece of roasted meat from an unknown mutated beast and took a few bites, then put it down.
The food is not poisonous, but it tastes weird. It must be because there is no seasoning. These barbecued meats are also difficult to eat.
Seeing Xu Ye put it down after taking two bites, Wang Jingze couldn't help but said: "Brother, you can eat with confidence. These foods have been confirmed by us many times."
Xu Ye smiled and didn't say anything. He knew in his heart what the other party's method was, and he must have tried it with some people first.
What's more likely is that in order to find edible foods, many people probably died in the process of trying them. It was indeed not easy to pay such a high price.
"Well, I know, I don't have a good appetite today. You guys can eat." Xu Ye explained casually. After all, he was used to eating well, but he really couldn't eat these things.
At this time, the door was opened again, and several people walked in and brought out coconut-like fruits one by one. A sweet and sour smell filled the whole room, making Xu Ye swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Several cups were placed in front of everyone, and one person made a small opening in the fruit, and a red liquid like red wine was poured out.
"Come on, come on! Let's raise a glass together!" Zhang Zhannan stood up and greeted.
"It's red coconut wine!" Zheng Zhuo said with anticipation, and everyone else also licked their lips.
Seeing that Xu Ye was a little confused, Zheng Zhuo immediately explained: "There are very few coconuts, and the liquid inside is similar to red wine. It is very delicious, and it is very laborious to pick it. We also spent a lot of money."
It took strength to get it.”
Everyone else also looked at the coconut longingly. It was indeed rare to have something like wine in this strange place.
And wine is a luxury product that everyone longs for in the apocalypse. After drinking a bottle of wine, you can forget about the troubles of survival and worries about the future. It’s not to mention how refreshing it is to be drunk all day long.
Zhang Zhannan stood up and distributed cups of wine to everyone. There were only about ten people at the table here.
So in fact, each person can only get one cup. Although red coconut wine is delicious, it is also very rare, so it can be regarded as a luxury product for everyone.
"Not bad, it smells good!" Xu Ye picked up the wine glass and gently sniffed the sweet and sour aroma, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zheng Zhuo on the side couldn't wait to raise his glass and said: "Come on, let's have a toast! This is probably the only red coconut wine that can be drunk in this damn place."
Xu Ye picked up the wine glass. He never liked drinking because it would numb his nerves, but it would be okay if he had a drink with others.
Xu Ye picked up the wine glass and looked at the liquid in the glass carefully. The liquid was dark red and exuded an alluring fragrance. Just by smelling it, he knew that it wouldn't taste too bad. However, Xu Ye suddenly frowned.
.
"Wait a minute! Don't drink yet!" Xu Ye suddenly stopped everyone's movements.
Everyone originally raised their wine glasses and put them to their mouths. They all looked at Xu Ye in astonishment. The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
Zhang Zhannan has a hot temper. Even though he knows that Xu Ye is not an ordinary person, he still says unhappily: "Brother, don't you think the wine is poisonous?"
Xu Ye's sudden stop undoubtedly cooled down the originally heated atmosphere, but Zheng Zhuo and Dou Xiaomi understood that there must be a reason why Xu Ye suddenly asked them to stop.
Zheng Zhuo even asked directly: "Brother Ye, is there something wrong with this wine?"
Dou Xiaomi was well aware of Xu Ye's mystery, so Xu Ye asked them to wait a moment. She was already carefully observing the dark red liquid in the wine glass.
The woman next to Zheng Zhuo suddenly turned cold and stared at Zhang Zhannan and others with cold eyes. If the other party dared to do something in the wine, she would definitely fall out on the spot.
Zhang Zhannan laughed and said: "Little brother, what do you think is wrong with this wine? It can't be that we want to harm you, right?"
"Is he still angry about what happened just now, so he wants to take the opportunity to embarrass us?" Zhang Zhannan thought to himself, if this is really the case, it will be troublesome.
The Awakened Ones on our side are much worse than those on the other side, and if there is a conflict, our side's chances of winning are not great.
Wang Jingze also secretly became vigilant. Could it be that someone deliberately set up this situation today to poison everyone and then become the king of this stronghold!
Let alone the apocalypse, even in peaceful times, people pursue fame, wealth, money and power all their lives. Now in the apocalypse, these things have been nakedly magnified. There are nearly a thousand people in their gathering place. Maybe the other party wants to be the boss here?
But it was obvious that they were overthinking it, and Xu Ye had no interest in taking away their power. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you tampered with this wine, but that it has its own problems."
Zhang Zhannan and others were slightly relieved when they heard this, and Wang Jingze asked with some doubts: "Little brother, shouldn't you? This thing is drinkable. We have all drank the wine in it many times."
"Yes, yes!" Zheng Zhuo also agreed. He stared at the dark red liquid in the wine glass and drooled. This wine was his favorite thing after coming here for so long, but he rarely drank it.
Xu Ye looked at the liquid in the wine glass and said slowly: "There is something wrong with the material of this thing."
"Material?" Everyone was a little confused when they heard this.
Xu Ye nodded slowly and said, "If I guessed correctly, there should be a lot of bones near this thing, right?"
"Well, you're right." Zhang Zhannan nodded slowly and said, "This coconut fruit is surrounded by human corpses, or the corpses of some mutated beasts. I think they died after killing each other."
"Well, that's right," Xu Ye nodded silently. There was a faint smell of blood in the drink, which you could smell if you smelled it carefully.
And for these fruits, if I guessed correctly, their nourishment should be the flesh and blood of humans and animals, including the fruits just now, it should be the same!
