Chapter 239: barbecue

Thinking of getting the Satellite quickly, he had Mario speed up the battlefield cleanup.

He could kill people without a second thought, but Liang Yu couldn’t ignore so many corpses.

Incinerating them together was the best method, and it was all he could do.

During the cold snap, he could have left them, as the low temperature acted like a natural freezer, but now it was different.

If not handled properly, these corpses would become a source of plague. It was fine if these people died, but there were other Survivors living in the city who hadn’t provoked Liang Yu.

Handling these corpses was the only thing Liang Yu could do; he was powerless to help with anything else.

If a plague still broke out after he handled the corpses, then it was fate.

Although corpses were now one of their main food sources, not every corpse was fully consumed, especially when water was so precious; the intestines were definitely thrown away.

But the problem lay here: one or two people might be fine, but a large quantity would lead to trouble, and Liang Yu was worried about this.

That’s why the corpses of the Survivors killed by Mario needed to be centrally destroyed.

At this moment, Mario had also finished collecting the corpses. Then, Mario took out a special incendiary bomb made by Liang Yu from his pocket, and casually tossed it upwards, the incendiary bomb forming a parabolic trajectory.

The next moment, the incendiary bomb landed on the pile of corpses, and in just a moment, a raging fire had ignited on the corpses.

The flames were initially only as tall as a three or four-year-old child.

As time passed, these child-sized flames had grown to over three meters high, and the bright light of the flames brought a little glow to the dark night.

Other Survivors nearby were also attracted by the towering flames and rushed towards the fire’s location at the fastest possible speed.

They were afraid of missing out on something good if they were a step too slow; even if there was nothing good, they planned to watch the excitement.

After all, these people had heard that Zhang Zhesi’s group was targeting the newly arrived RV tonight.

Perhaps they had already succeeded, and the flames were their celebration party.

Soon, the closest group of Survivors had arrived at the scene.

However, the scene was not what they had imagined; there was no noise, nor the joyful atmosphere of a celebration feast.

All that could be heard was the sound of the flames burning.

The Survivors also saw the RV, which had not yet left, not far from the fire, but apart from this vehicle, no one else was seen around.

As they slowly approached the massive bonfire, they were all too stunned to speak.

This was no bonfire!

It was clearly a pile of people, a pile made of twenty or thirty corpses.

As they approached, they also felt the heat of the burning fire. The weather was already very hot.

Even at night, temperatures were generally around thirty to forty degrees Celsius.

After approaching the bonfire, the high temperature nearby caused their body pores to expand, and sweat slowly flowed from their skin.

Among this group of Survivors, some had been hungry for a long time due to not finding food.

Smelling the scent of roasted meat, they had only one thought.

Eat!

If he ate it, he would live!

He didn’t care how many people were there now; to survive, anything could be abandoned.

Today, he was going to be the first person to eat ‘crab’.

Now, the other Survivors feared the owner of the RV and only dared to watch from the side, not daring to step forward and act.

But this person was almost starving to death; could he care about so much?

Could someone who was almost starving to death still be considered human?

He Shen, the most corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, once said:

“Those who are about to starve to death are no longer human; they are beasts.”

“As long as one can live, what’s bran? That’s good stuff.”

“Grass roots, tree bark, and dirt can all be eaten.”

So this person was also like that; moreover, he didn’t need to eat grass roots, tree bark, or dirt; what he could eat was the meat of ’two-legged sheep'.

At such a time, how could the man care about so much? He had only one thought in his mind: go up and eat meat!

With this thought, the man ignored the RV and the people around him, and walked straight up.

He also picked up a stick from the roadside, came to the burning bonfire, and used the stick to pull out a piece of meat that had been shattered by the Gatling.

He didn’t care about the heat; stimulated by the aroma of the meat, the man directly put his mouth to it and began to chew.

The others watched the man feast on the meat, and at the same time looked towards the RV.

They wanted to know how the RV would react to such a scene.

They never expected that the owner of the RV, Liang Yu, would ignore them and simply not bother with these people.

Just then, the second group of Survivors also arrived.

When the first group of Survivors saw more people coming, they immediately couldn’t sit still.

Most people cast aside their so-called pride. In the face of an opportunity to eat their fill, what was pride?

What good was it? It couldn’t even fill their stomachs.

As the first group joined in, they quickly dragged out three or four corpses. Some even thoughtfully took out machetes to cut the food for everyone.

These people were like the first man who came to eat; the scorching heat of the meat was nothing. They kept stuffing meat into their mouths.

Afraid that if they were a second slower, the meat would end up in someone else’s mouth.

The second group of people who arrived here, seeing their madness, did not stop their steps.

However, the two groups implicitly did not stay on the same side, but went to the opposite side.

The people on both sides looked up and met each other’s gaze, and both smiled at each other.

Afterwards, people on both sides focused on eating, as if they had a consensus: basically, no one would touch the very middle part first.

Even though it was already burnt, the people on both sides had no intention of moving it.

This unspoken understanding did not last long.

Soon, the third group of Survivors arrived, and they were somewhat bewildered when they saw what the two groups were doing.

They even mistook them for Zhang Zhesi’s group.

It just so happened that among this third group was a woman who had a close relationship with Zhang Zhesi.

She looked proudly at her group of people and haughtily told them:

“Zhang Ge, Zhang Zhesi, and I on the other side have a very deep friendship.”

“With my influence, it’s no problem to let you all go over and eat together.”

“Just wait here for my good news.”

When these people heard that someone was going to be the trailblazer, they were naturally very happy.

As for having a friendship with the other party, everyone knew what the woman was implying when they saw her demeanor.

However, no one was foolish enough to expose the matter. Only after the woman walked over did someone speak.

“Um, I want to tell you something.”

“I saw an acquaintance on the other side. He’s not with Zhang Zhesi’s group at all.”

“But he also appeared over there.”

Hearing this person speak, they also looked up and over.
