Lu Yun fixedly stared at Young Master Gong’s expression and asked uncertainly, "Have you really tasted meat?"
"En." Gong Lixin smiled and said lightly, "Although animals are mutated and there’s no meat to eat, my friend gave me a few cans of beef sauce and it won’t go bad in Li Dongsheng’s space. I simmer it and sip just a spoonful of minced beef with white bread or rice. It tastes good."
After saying that, he blinked and earnestly said, "You guys have to come and try it once. I have nothing else to entertain you with, so I can take out the beef sauce for you and we can all have some. Only one bottle is left, so after you’ve eaten, there won’t be anymore."
He called over a woman who had been sent away and asked her to go to prison 223 in the East District to find Li Dongsheng and bring the beef sauce. The woman’s mouth twitched at the order.
Lu Yun was almost completely petrified. Since Young Master Gong was an old school type of person, it would have made more sense for him to say ’po shen’ or ’dun lun’, little did he know that in modern Chinese slang, to ’kai hun’ has a double entendre. It’s no surprise that Gong Lixin had misunderstood, and they spent some time miscommunicating. Lu Yun thought to himself that Young Master Gong hadn’t changed in these two years. He was still way too pure. Lu Yun never felt more dirty and perverse than when he was facing Young Master Gong.
There was a moment of silence before everyone suddenly burst out in laughter. They laughed so hard that they rocked back and forth, tears gleaming in the corner of their eyes. Wonderful, truly amazing! They had never seen such a simple young man.
With a smile, Bao Long slapped the shaking table in front of him as his heart beat fiercely. He played with all kinds of men and women in this prison, but he had never seen such a clean and unbelievable young man. And one with such looks were even rarer. What would the young man look like if he stripped the innocence off his face? Thinking of that made Bao Long as hard as iron. Holding the woman in his lap, he secretly thought about getting hold of the teenager as soon as possible.
Father Gong couldn’t help but murmur in his heart: Isn’t his son’s youth too late? At 18, it should be one’s springtime.
The coldness in Lin Wenbo, Song Haoran and He Jun disappeared instantly and they all drew down their heads to hide their relieved expressions. They turned a blind eye to the laughter, only watching the innocent teenager’s ears turn red as he remained ignorant. They wanted to rub him hard and love him. This image of him where he inexplicably looked helpless but pretended to be calm and generous was so cute and attractive!
Zheng Chaohe stared at the young man with red ears without hiding as his heart was dark: Such a rare, clean and clear appearance. No wonder a cold-blooded person like He Jin would go crazy for him. General Song had long wanted to curb He Jin’s forces, but maybe he could use this Young Master Gong.
The atmosphere became harmonious thanks to Gong Lixin’s joke. Ten minutes later, the woman who had left came in with a jar of beef sauce and, at the beckoning of Gong Lixin, evenly scooped out for everyone and spread it over white rice, making it really look appetizing.
Pushing his shared into He Jin’s bowl, Gong Lixin said with a smile, "Big Brother He, have more food."
"Alright!" He Jin felt soft as he looked at the silky haired young man. He looked to Meng Yuanji and ordered, "Take out that piece of cheesecake."
It was originally found in the refrigerator of a cake shop in Kyoto during the apocalypse. Although it was not as fresh as when it was just baked, the taste had not changed. Recalling the teenager’s love of sweet things, He Jin’s heart felt soft and he carefully wrapped the cake in a carton and stored it in Meng Yuanji’s space for two years. He only took it out now that they met again and, with it, won a happy smile from the teenager.
Meng Yuanji quickly agreed and turned up a delicate paper box and carefully placed it in front of the teenager. The piece of cake had been stored in his space. Brother He warned him more than once that it should not be crushed, making him afraid of placing supplies around the carton, wasting a lot of space for nothing. But now, he could finally take it out, he secretly sighed in relief.
"Ah? This cake was for Young Master Gong? No wonder no matter how often I begged for it, Brother He refused to give it to me." Lu Yun’s mind recalled the unfairness and grieved from not being able to eat this cake for the past two years. He knew it was for Young Master Gong, so he could never really ask for it.
Gong Lixin opened the carton with a wide smile and saw the baked, golden and fragrant cheesecake which was brighter than the stars. He looked to He Jin with delight and said with a happy smile, "Thank you, Big Brother He!"
He Jin felt unspeakable contentment and rubbed the other’s hair madly. He refused to take spoonful offered to him and ordered him to eat it happily. Father Gong , Lin Wenbo, Song Haoran, and even Lu Yun quickly waved their hands and refused to eat a spoonful. The cake was originally small, if each person took a bite, how much would there be left to eat?
Watching the teenager put the spoonful into his mouth. His cat-like eyes curved up in pleasure, making for an extremely adorable expression. He Jin, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran, all smiled in unison and the pleasure of the other seemed to affect their own as they dug into their food.
The interaction between them attracted the attention of the others at the table. Bao Long almost tore off the waist of the woman in his lap but thought how He Jin had come here to gather food supplies and would be leaving tomorrow. He could see that He Jin, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran all had unusual feelings for Gong Lixin. The beauty truly was the beauty. Thinking of how he was going to eat such a beauty soon, his eyes overflowed with an evil glint.
There was no cake for them to eat, but the beef sauce over rice was delicious and everyone quickly looked away and concentrated on enjoying the food in front of them. After eating half of it, Bao Long said with a mysterious expression, "Mr. He, Mr. Zhang, I have one last dish here which you haven’t eaten before."
After that, he beckoned to the woman near the door. The woman nodded. She went out and soon brought back a plate of fragrant braised meat and placed it on the table between Zheng Chaohe and He Jin. Seeing this dish, many people’s eyes flickered, showing a disgusting expression. Of course, there were also a few small number of people drooling and couldn’t wait to dig in.
He Jin and Gong Lixin put down their tableware at the same time and Song Haoran’s and Lin Wenbo’s faces were exactly the same as well. Father Gong, who was sitting opposite them, was expressionless, but on a closer look, anger could be seen hidden in his flickering eyes.
Lu Yun was drooling at the smell of the braised pork in front of him and couldn’t wait to reach out his chopsticks, but was caught by Meng Yuanji. Lu Yun hesitated to retract his hand and whispered, "What’s the matter? Is it poisonous?"
Meng Yuanji glared at him and didn’t speak.
Zheng Chaohe smiled indifferently, picked up a piece of meat with fat and put it in his mouth to taste it. After he swallowed it, he sincerely praised, "Fat, but not greasy. Thin, but savoury. It’s good! It seemed that Mr. Bao’s chef cooks two-legged sheep very well."
Bao Long grinned, stretched out his hand and took a large chunk from the plate and placed it in his mouth, chewing it with gusto. With an expression of pleasure on his face, he said to Zheng Chaohe, "It seems Mr. Zheng Chaohe and I have the same opinion! Haha, I’m truly happy! The two-legged sheep also have meat, so they can be eaten! Who cares about the rest? Come, come, let’s all eat some!" He said while waving at the crowd around the table.
Today, Bao Long deliberately used Zheng Chaohe to beat into his subordinates; if grains couldn’t be planted than the over 3000 slaves would be useless, but it’s not enough to kill them senselessly. They should squeeze out every last of their usefulness. In order to successfully implement this plan, he would pull everyone into the water with him.
Kang Zhengyuan hesitated for a second before he picked up his chopsticks and ate silently, indirectly showing his stance. Now that he was the weaker one, he doesn’t dare confront Bao Long directly. Moreover, he thought Bao Long’s plan of killing and storing meat sounded like a good idea. The taste of human flesh was really good and he would get used to it eventually as he keeps eating it.
One after another, people began to reach out to eat a plate of braised meat. After eating some, some people’s eyes brightened while others looked pale, some even fell down and vomited. But no matter how they responded, they expressed their support for Bao Long with their action.
Bao Long looked at Father Gong and the others who were determined to not moved their chopsticks with a cold expression. He looked at his own side, at Tan Mingyuan and others who also didn’t move their move, their hands around their chest. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes but then was replaced with anger. Was this betrayal? He gritted his teeth and murmured darkly.
Lu Yun was somewhat baffled by the strange behaviour of the crowd. He pulled Meng Yuanji’s sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What’s a two-legged sheep? A new mutant beast?"
Meng Yuanji’s face became twisted for a moment before he said in a hushed voice, "Have you read books before? Two-legged sheep are humans. They are eating human flesh!"
Lu Yun’s gagged and his face changed from pale to bluish purple. He looked at Zheng Chaohe, who was eating it deliciously, with an expression of disgust. Unexpectedly, this person looked like a gentleman, but it turned out that it was a mask. It hid something worse than a pig! The aversion in his heart couldn’t be suppressed.
Zheng Chaohe didn’t care what Lu Yun and the others thought of him, as long as he successfully completed the task entrusted to him by General Song. Eating human flesh, he and General Song had already tried it in private and, in such extraordinary means where there was no food, in order to survive, they were willing to try anything that could be eaten. Although Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan were stupid, they were cruel enough. No wonder they could survive during the apocalypse and become base leaders.
After he stopped, Zheng Chaohe picked up a paper towel placed on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully as he slowly spoke, "This meal was very rich and delicious. Thank you, Mr. Bao, for your hospitality. We don’t have much time and will be leaving tomorrow morning to go to another base to father food. I wonder if the conditions mentioned in the previous call Mr. Bao and Mr. Kang considered it?"
Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan looked at each other and asked in unison, "I don’t know if you can show it to us first? Let us check the goods before the transaction?"
Was it that easy? Zheng Chaohe was secretly pleased. He took out two black velvet jewellery boxed and opened them on the table, pushing them forward slightly to make it clear to them.
In the box were two different third-level mid-grade nuclei; earth system on the left and wind system on the right. They were bright and dazzling against the black velvet background, attracting everyone’s attention. The third-level mid-grade nuclei. Third-level mid-grade crystal nuclei and four of them in place were enough to make these people red and have their heart beat faster.
Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan’s coloured irises were suddenly bright, showing greedy eyes that couldn’t be concealed. They couldn’t help but reach out to the jewellery boxes in front of them, but Zheng Chaohe made the first move and snapped the lids shut and placed it back into his space.
