"...I actually lost consciousness in a dream. It's really a weird feeling..."
When he woke up again, Zhang Ke found that he, the murderer's body, had been hung upside down on a locust tree, with ropes tied tightly around his ankles, and his hands tied behind his back.
I don't know whether it was because of this congested brain position or the violent beating he received before. Zhang Ke felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. His throat was filled with a strong smell of blood, and his body was covered in bruises and bruises.
It also hurts like hell everywhere.
Apparently, the man let go of his hands and feet and beat the murderer to a pulp before he completely passed out and then hung upside down from the tree.
Are you prepared to completely abandon yourself? No, it would be better if that's the case.
Zhang Ke knows that there are basically two reasons why the murderer chooses to attack men.
Firstly, he really couldn't stand this kind of life of killing people and getting meat everywhere. Secondly, after seeing what the other party had done these days, he might have guessed something in his heart.
In the past three or four days alone, the man had led the murderer through several similar villages - and these villages undoubtedly all had the same characteristics: they were war-torn, the people were in dire straits, and they were suffering from famine.
Many people either starved to death at home, or were killed by stray bullets because of blind artillery fire, or were buried under collapsed buildings and were dying - hell is on earth, and such words are extremely appropriate to describe the scene in front of them.
So the man, without any psychological burden, chose those who had not yet completely expired. Before they turned into rotting corpses, he immediately killed them, bled them and took their flesh, expanded his food reserves, and forced the murderer to learn from them.
.
From this point of view, the murderer is almost certain that at least some of his family members were killed in this way by the man in front of him.
Although it is very likely that they had been in trouble a long time ago, and even if they had not encountered this evil star, they might not have survived for long. But his appearance was obviously the last push to send everyone to hell.
What's even more devastating is that he also took pieces of his own family's meat and forced himself to eat it! This is why the murderer still wants to resist even if he risks being exposed and killed.
reason.
Obviously, this is a time of chaos and chaos, and the nearby villages are an inconspicuous piece of broken duckweed in this chaos, and they will be completely destroyed by war and poverty in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Ke was curious at first about where the murderer's hometown was. After all, based on what he saw in reality, no matter how old he was, he never looked more than forty years old.
Thirty or forty years ago, was there such a place in the country where war was in chaos and the people were in dire straits? It’s simply impossible. It’s almost like a hundred or two hundred years ago.
Or is it that the murderer was not born here at all? Instead, he was born in other small and remote villages in East Asia? This is possible, after all, there is not much difference in appearance, and the murderer is not very articulate when he speaks.
But, how did he drift to this city?
"You finally woke up? If you don't wake up, you may miss today's dinner."
The man's voice brought Zhang Ke's thoughts back to his eyes.
Dinner? Is it another pile of dried meat that exudes a special corpse smell? Or is it just freshly cut, bloody meat?
Just as Zhang Ke was thinking this way, he saw a big white steamed bun appearing in front of him.
No, actually if you look carefully, the steamed bun itself is still a bit dark yellow. It is obviously because a lot of cornmeal is mixed with the flour, and the texture must be much rougher than the refined flour steamed bun.
However, after drinking blood with Ru Mao for so many days, this "normal human food", in his eyes at this moment, is undoubtedly a rather eye-catching sight.
Sure enough, the murderer's body began to twitch violently. His body, which had been dazed due to the beating, suddenly became sober again. What followed was waves of throbbing pain in his stomach - that was excessive.
Signs of hunger.
Saliva quickly secreted under his tongue, and Zhang Ke could almost imagine the sweetness and richness of that steamed bun - these days, he was using the body of a murderer and experienced everything extraordinary, and all his perceptions were completely synchronized. Of course,
Also includes hunger.
"I found this from a family's stove. They hid it like a treasure. It's really stupid - obviously the nutrition of this steamed bun is not worth the actual meat.
Belly……"
Having said this, the man suddenly showed a meaningful smile:
"However, you must be craving for this very much now, right? I know you are not completely accustomed to eating meat, and you are probably still nostalgic for the food of the past, so come and eat it."
He squatted down and placed the steamed bun on the ground. Zhang Ke stretched out his body to bite it, but he found that there was always just that little distance, and even the tip of his tongue could not touch the white and shiny bun.
surface.
Only the aroma of grain and starch continued to waft out from the steamed buns. The man seemed to have deliberately heated it to let the aroma of wheat and corn spread out more fully, constantly stimulating the fragile and hungry body of the murderer.
Thirsty stomach.
"You wanted to kill me before. Although I am very disappointed, I am also very happy that you are finally mentally prepared to kill me." The man said with a smile, "However, not only did you make a strategic mistake, but even if you did take action, your performance was very real.
It's too bad. A slightly taller adult can help you take it down - this won't work. I won't always kill it for you first and then let you harvest it slowly. You have to learn to hunt on your own."
"So, from now on, you have to receive special training in all aspects to fully unleash the potential of your body." The man pointed to the steamed buns on the ground and said, "First of all, start with flexibility. You are not far away from this steamed bun now.
It's not far away, as long as you can free your hands or feet from the rope, or stretch your neck or even your tongue, you can eat it."
"I will come to check the situation tomorrow morning. No matter how much you have eaten, I will take away all the rest - even if you haven't touched a bite."
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back. From what he just said, Zhang Ke also realized another, more terrifying thing.
——That is, I will be hung upside down on this tree all night long, and I will try my best to "fight" with a steamed bun that is so close at hand and so far away.
Damn it, when will this too long dream end? You have to know that you can't skip every minute and every second in the dream!
If this continues, even I will go crazy in this dream, right?
