Chapter 7, If One Truly Cannot Hold Back
Prior to this, the two servants believed that the food Colin would bestow upon them should be that piece of bread
After three people each had a bowl, there was probably only about half a bowl left in the stone pot
It has been almost three minutes, and it seems that there is no issue. Colin observed the personal information of the two individuals and, upon discovering that there were no special conditions, such as debuffs like [poisoned] or [unconscious], he finally felt at ease to drink the thick porridge.
Holding the steaming and fragrant venison porridge personally delivered by the lord, the two servants were moved to tears.
You have been hurt for me, there is not much left in this pot, I will give you the remaining half bowl, focus on recovering from your injuries
As a result, the arm of the servant was subjected to some injury
The sweet and fragrant meat porridge was sucked into the mouth, and the aroma and vitality instantly filled the heart, allowing the servant to experience the beauty of life for the first time
The hearts of the two individuals are filled with gratitude and emotion
The servant wanted to decline, but under Colin's "stern" gaze, he tearfully consumed "three" large bowls.
Moreover, it even contains meat
He took out a scroll made of an unknown leather texture and began to brush it.
Usually, Colin wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken
Colin furrowed his brow in thought, but found himself at a loss, unable to obtain any hints or come up with any answers
However, are they? Are those two servants of yours female? It seems you must be a girl; otherwise, there wouldn't be female servants... Sigh, it feels like I've gained some more useless knowledge.
They are living beings, how can one possibly consume them, what if, what if...
As long as one does not consume brains...
However, I did not expect that the chat channel was not much better than the backpack
This is their heartfelt voice, completely unrelated to the system
Colin murmured to himself, fearing that by the very first day, the fates of many would already be declared over
Even though it is as hard as a rock, for them, it remains a rare delicacy
At this moment, Colin heard the hoarse voices of two servants saying: "My lord, you are truly a good person"
... ...
Thus, Colin was not stingy either
My lord, this is not acceptable. To fight and die for you is the duty of a servant. The priority now is to ensure your strength
I am sorry, I cannot help you. Right now, no one knows how to light a lamp, and there is simply no way to venture outside, let alone offer charity
Colin is quite unaccustomed to eating without looking at something.
I wonder how the other survivors are doing now
One must simply be cautious while eating
I want to eat black bread, and I want to drink water
After all, he is not one of those medical students; his psychological endurance is not that strong, and he cannot dissect while eating.
When I was previously caught in a state of "mental disorder," that "aberration" did indeed launch attacks against me, but they were all forcefully blocked by Servant II.
At the very least, it is not a problem to hold on until the evening
While savoring the delicious venison porridge, one browses the regional chat channel
Colin glanced at them; these two items were different from venison, as they originated from that "confession priest".
The question is, how could the "confessor priest" who was clearly human in life possibly consume it
Forget it, let me have a bowl of porridge to calm my nerves
Girls, I have lost interest
"Yes, is it..." Colin looked nervously at the porridge in the pot
However, Colin knew that most of these people were just talking big, because if they did not leave the cabin, their physical exertion would not be too severe
Therefore, before that time, the vast majority of people should not have been so extreme. As for whether that small number of people actually did such things, Colin had no idea at all
In their vague memories, as a servant, one had to labor for an entire day merely to obtain a meager amount of food that could hardly satisfy hunger, and then, under the lash, one would receive a loaf of bread that was likely moldy, sour, and mixed with dirt.
However, what neither of the two servants expected was that Colin actually made them drink porridge, not that kind of "rice porridge" where not a single grain of rice can be seen in a bowl
It is unclear who has fostered this atmosphere, resulting in the chat channels becoming increasingly chaotic and polluted.
If you truly cannot hold back, young lady, you may indulge in the servants; they will not resist
Without overthinking, Colin looked at the two subordinates whose eyes were practically shining, and first served each of them a bowl
What should be done in the event of an infection with the virus?
Colin seemed to recall something, looking at Servant Two, observing the one-centimeter-long palm-sized wound on his arm
Do not be misled by Colin's enthusiastic chopping behind; if it were not for his words, it is certain that not only would there be a crash, but also some injuries would be unavoidable
However, Colin did not give up; in case it truly comes to a point of desperation...
"Do not boast or scare others upstairs, inciting them to eat people! I tell you, on the first day, hunger will not kill anyone; everyone has the same physical strength. It is only after tonight that one might starve to death..."
There are still human ashes used as fertilizer, which is much more stimulating than excrement and urine
Sigh, knowing that others would not speak out, in an area with one thousand people, this is a game of life and death, how could anyone be so kind-hearted
I just don't understand why a "suffering people - confessor priest" would have venison explode from him, but that does not prevent him from eating it
That being said, since this is a global game, among billions of humans, even if only one in ten thousand discovers the method to light the lamp, there would still be at least ten thousand people. Is it possible that among these ten thousand, there isn't a single person willing to reveal the method? Or is it that once someone speaks out, they will face warnings or... erasure?
The "filthy bones" and "decayed flesh" are practically useless...
Because it really has not gone moldy or smelly, and it is even very likely that not even sand has been placed!
But as they continued to drink, their eyes began to redden and moisten, the muscles in their mouths felt a bit sore and stiff, and they experienced an impulse to cry uncontrollably
After finishing the porridge in one gulp, Colin opened his backpack to check the gains from this trip
Once again discussing cannibalism... Colin's mouth twitched, and his stomach churned.
I am so hungry, my throat feels like it's on fire, I am begging for food, as long as there is something to eat, I will do anything you ask, sob sob sob ... ...
That piece of hard black bread
Originally, one could reflect on the gains while drinking porridge, but the thought of human flesh inside deterred me from doing so
[Hard black bread * 2 + Slightly rotten venison * 1 + Level 3 water = Sweet venison porridge * 1 (One pot's worth, a great tonic for replenishing energy and blood, sufficient to restore vitality!)]
Indeed, black bread must be consumed using a synthesis table; even without adding venison, it can be synthesized into porridge, which is far more effective than bread. Otherwise, one might end up playing oneself to death indoors
The prompt states that bones can be ground into powder for fertilization, and that cooked meat can be eaten like venison, although it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort
... ... Roll.
Eat, don't hesitate. If you don't eat, you will end up starving to death like a survivor in the regional channel of a certain old guy from the world channel. Live each day as it comes, everyone, let's keep going
After fifteen minutes, we will continue our exploration
Without saying anything else, it is essential to implement a clear system of rewards and punishments, isn't it
