Chapter 41 Burning the Corpse

Meng Ren felt that he was becoming more and more like a villain. He was very kind in his previous life, but now that he was reborn, even if he saw a living person being beaten to death, he didn't feel any sympathy in his heart, but felt comfortable instead.

"Very good, I like myself like this. In my previous life, I died because of my saintly heart. If this world is so cruel, then let me become a cruel villain!" Meng Ren's mouth drew a slightly hideous smile.

At this time, other people in the community didn't know that Zhou Xue had been beaten to death. Everyone walked out of their own homes and knocked on the doors of their neighbors.

You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you check.

Corpses were found one after another in the entire community, and most of these people died of heatstroke.

The temperature in the extremely hot era was too high, even in the house it was over 40 degrees. Because of the water and power outages, the air conditioner couldn't be turned on in the house.

Under such hot temperatures, people with a slightly weaker constitution couldn't stand it at all.

These people died quietly. If Ou Mingxue hadn't brought it up, I'm afraid people wouldn't know that so many people had died in the community.

Just a casual count revealed that hundreds of people had died, most of whom had died in the past two days. Some people's bodies had begun to rot, and the horrible stench of corpses was simply the smell of hell.

In the community garden, many corpses were piled up here. Looking at the corpses that were like a hill, everyone's face turned pale.

"Oh my god, it's so terrible. I didn't expect that so many people had died in our community without us knowing it. We didn't even notice it before."

"Yes, these people died quietly, and no one even noticed that they were dead. This is really terrible."

"We won't die so unclearly in the future, right?"

People were talking about it, and a sense of uneasiness continued to spread among the crowd.

Meng Ren also carried a few corpses down. He didn't want the building where he was to be polluted by the stench of corpses, and he wouldn't be able to bear it at that time.

He looked carefully and soon found Liu Hua among the corpses.

Meng Ren was not surprised by this. Liu Hua was shot by him. It was normal for him to die in such hot weather.

"Doctor Ou, there are too many bodies. We can't dig such a big pit. I think we should just burn them!" The security guard Lao Wang stepped forward.

Ou Mingxue frowned and sighed in her heart: "There are indeed too many bodies. This is the only way to do it now."

"Then burn them. Everyone get some gasoline and burn the bodies with fire."

Everyone nodded, and quickly got the gasoline and poured it on the surface of the bodies.

Boom!

As a big fire was ignited, the gasoline burned instantly and spread to all places where the bodies were in a very short time.

All the bodies burned, and the blazing fire illuminated the entire community, which was very bright in the dark night.

As the bodies burned, a strong smell of meat wafted out. Many people present couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they smelled the barbecued meat.

"It smells so good!"

I don't know who said this, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little weird.

Ou Mingxue's face changed: "Don't talk like that, these are the corpses of our kind."

But I don't know if this sentence is useful, anyway, the expressions of many people present have changed slightly.

These changes were seen by Meng Ren. He looked at everyone deeply, then turned and left.

Since the corpse has been burned, there is nothing for him here.

It was too hot outside, he couldn't stand it, and he needed to go back to the air-conditioned room at home immediately to enjoy life.

After Meng Ren left, the other people in the garden also left one after another, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere of the crowd seemed very dull.

Meng Ren looked at the backs of the people leaving, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that interesting things are about to begin."

"What will humans do when they are extremely hungry? I really can't imagine it."

Today is the tenth day of the Extremely Hot Era. Except for his own home, I am afraid that there are not many households in the community that have much food left.

It is not an exaggeration to say that most people have begun to run out of food.

One or two days can be tolerated, but what about three or four days?

Will they be able to bear it then?

Without food, what will they eat then?

In the ancient times of famine, there were stories of cannibalism. Although it was a story, it was a real thing.

Meng Ren shrugged and stopped thinking about it. He was so hot after working outside.

He immediately went into the bathroom and took a cold shower. After a good rest, he changed his clothes and went back to the air-conditioned room.

"Ah!"

"Comfortable!"

Meng Ren had a look of enjoyment on his face.

While Meng Ren was enjoying himself at home, several people gathered in another building.

These people were all young men. A closer look revealed that Tang Song was inside.

"Brothers, we have been out of food for a day. If we don't eat food, I'm afraid we will starve to death."

"If we move a tree, it will die. If we move a person, he will live. We must find a way to get some food."

"And in the community, I know who has food at home." Tang Song spoke first.

As he spoke, everyone else's eyes fell on him.

"Brother Tang, the person you are talking about is not Meng Ren, right? That guy is fierce and has a compound bow in his hand. If we rush up to him to ask for food, we will definitely be shot at!"

"Liu Mei's previous experience is right in front of us. I don't want to test the law myself!" Zuo Xiangyu shrugged.

Yang Ping next to him also nodded: "Yeah, let's not provoke Meng Ren, that evil star. That guy is a lunatic and dares to shoot arrows."

Tang Song rolled his eyes: "I didn't say to find Meng Ren. Of course I know that guy is not easy to mess with. I'm talking about other people."

"I'm talking about other people, such as Ou Mingxue."

What?

Zuo Xiangyu and Yang Ping were startled, and both hesitated.

"Doctor Ou? Are you crazy? Doctor Ou is so nice, we attack her?" Yang Ping frowned.

Zuo Xiangyu also nodded.

Seeing that the two refused, Tang Song had to give up and set his sights on another family.

After discussing for a while, the three of them decided on a plan of action. Yang Ping smiled and said, "Leave the unlocking to me. I learned how to unlock from a master before. Ordinary anti-theft doors can't stop me at all."
