Meng Yue blinked, and soon felt that she had guessed right. “Yeah, Ling Ling was in that orchard just now. We followed her vibe here at the first place, so why are you so surprised?” She then said to Xiao Licheng.
Xiao Licheng smiled and responded, “Ah, I didn’t know you could find her so quickly. You didn’t say that she was nearby just now!”
Xiao Licheng was a stranger to Wu Yueling. Seeing him, she silently wrapped her arms around Wu Chengyue’s neck and stayed motionless. However, her eyes had been fixed on the orchard. Perhaps, she was still thinking about Lin Qiao.
At that time, Lin Qiao had entered her space and brought the car along with her. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t far away from Wu Chengyue and his people.
Earlier on, after entering her space in the orchard, she immediately turned herself invisible, then came out and left that area to find Junjun, who had hidden nearby for a long time.
Lin Qiao had sensed Junjun when the latter came to find her. The smart Junjun didn’t show up right beside her, maybe because she was worried that she might hinder her. Therefore, Lin Qiao conveniently found where she was hiding on the way while leaving, and sent her into the space.
After that, Lin Qiao walked out of the orchard immediately to get her car. She found another car parked next to hers, being guarded by a soldier.
To avoid catching that soldier’s attention, she stayed in the invisible state and quietly walked to her car, then quickly entered her space, switched to the visible state, and came out. After that, she sat on the driver’s seat as quickly as she could and started the car before stepping on the gas. With this series of swift and continuous movements, she drove the car away.
On seeing the stunned look on Xiao Licheng’s face from the rearview mirror, she even wanted to laugh.
After driving to a distance away, she got off the car and sent it into her space, then entered the space herself. She didn’t drive further away because she was prepared to go back to that farm after Wu Chengyue and his people had left.
At this moment, Lin Qiao and Junjun were squatting beside the body of that giant snake.
Lin Qiao found a large bowl, then found an artery of the snake and cut it open with her sharp nails. When the blood spurted out, she hurriedly caught it with the bowl.
However, as the snake had died for a while, its blood wasn’t flowing fast. After filling half of Lin Qiao’s bowl, the blood stopped gushing out.
Lin Qiao took back the bowl and put it under her nose to sniff at it. The snake’s blood had a faint fishy smell, and smelled nice. Lin Qiao didn’t drink it instantly, but handed the bowl to Junjun instead.
Junjun took over the bowl with curiosity, then brought it under her nose and sniffed at it. However, she caught no smell at all, so she looked back at her with confusion.
Lin Qiao sensed her thought and learned that Junjun might have no appetite for blood or flesh of mutant animals. However, she didn’t plan to give up, but pointed at her mouth and signaled for the latter to drink the blood.
Junjun knitted her brows. She was scared of snakes, so even though the giant snake had died, it still looked horrible to her. But now, Lin Qiao was asking her to drink its blood, and she found that rather unacceptable.
She looked at Lin Qiao with hesitation, then saw her nodded at her determinedly. She wasn’t able to disobey Lin Qiao’s instructions, so without any other choice, she took a deep breath and prepared to drink the snake blood, even though she couldn’t actually breathe.
While fighting against the sense of repulsion in her heart, Junjun put the bowl to her lips, and then forced herself to take a sip. After that…
She tasted nothing! The snake’s blood was thick, but was completely flavorless! It didn’t taste as bad as she thought it would.
She smacked her lips, then glanced at the blood in the bowl, and at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao could sense Junjun’s feelings. She knew that the latter felt repulsion toward the snake blood, but didn’t dislike it; so she asked her to continue drinking it.
Junjun frowned and finished the bowl at one gulp.
Lin Qiao didn’t know if the snake blood could suppress Junjun’s hunger, but she assumed that nothing bad would happen when she drank it, because zombies wouldn’t have diarrhea anyway.
After Junjun finished the bowl of blood, Lin Qiao took the bowl back, then made another cut on the snake’s body and continued collecting its blood.
Then, she raised the bowl and drank the blood herself.
Lin Qiao couldn’t feel the cool temperature of the snake blood, but had sensed a sweet and salty flavor spread in her mouth. She quickly finished the second bowl of blood like drinking water.
After that, she collected another bowl of blood and handed it to Junjun. However, the latter stood up and shook her head while stepping backward.
Lin Qiao didn’t force Junjun to drink it, but finished the third bowl of blood herself.
She didn’t get any more blood when she cut the snake’s body for the fourth time. So, she gave Junjun the bowl and asked her to wash it, then began peeling the snake.
While peeling the snake, she tore off the snake’s flesh and put into her mouth. She wanted to invite Junjun to eat together with her, but then gave up as she saw the look of dislike on the latter’s face.
Junjun washed the bowl, then turned back to find that Lin Qiao was eating the snake with an appetite. However, she had no interest in the snake at all, so she went back to the small space to check on the little boy.
The little boy was sitting on the bed on his own, holding a half-eaten strawberry.
Earlier on, Lin Qiao thought that she wouldn’t be able to finish the whole snake in one meal. She was wondering how many days could the snake flesh be stored in her space without going bad. As her space wasn’t a vacuum space, and the time wasn’t frozen in here, she assumed that the snake’s body would definitely go bad over time.
She sat down and began wondering if she could finish the whole snake at one time while eating.
However, her stomach…
Thinking of her stomach, she automatically lowered her head to look at her belly. Well, she could only see her clothes at that moment. She wanted to touch her stomach with her hand, but as her hands were covered in the sticky fluid from the snake, she then gave up.
Thus, she continued eating. While eating, she was also observing the situation outside. When she saw that Wu Chengyue and his people drive their car away, she sighed in relief.
They had finally left. She still needed to go back to pick some vegetables!
Yes, she didn’t leave because she wanted to go back to pick some vegetables; and not only pick some vegetables, she also wanted to dig up some edible vegetables and then transplant them in her space.
With this thought, she stood up immediately. Then, she discovered that she had already eaten a half of that snake! Looking at the snake’s body which was now half-skeleton and half-untouched, she was a little stunned.
‘Damn! How could I eat so much!’
She was really shocked. That snake was even thicker than her thighs! It was about twelve meters long, and weighed at least two hundred and fifty kilograms.
She had actually eaten a half of that snake at one time! Even though she didn’t eat the bones, she had still swallowed a giant amount of snake flesh. But, the problem was that where did the snake flesh go? And more importantly… she still felt hungry!
She glanced at the snake again, finding that she had eaten the lower half of the snake and left the upper half untouched. The snake’s internal organs hadn’t been removed either.
She thought for a moment, then dug out the snake’s gallbladder. She decided to finish the gallbladder first, then go out to pick vegetables.
