Chapter 7, Harvesting Knife

I trust you. Lin Qingya nodded, her heart filled with sweetness

With a sigh of relief, Lin Feng cautiously stepped into the room of the family of three. The door of the room had been knocked out, leaving a large hole that barely allowed passage, enabling Lin Feng to slip through directly

Taking out the blood diamond, Lin Feng discovered that this blood diamond was nearly twice the size of the one obtained yesterday, and it was even more dazzling. The crimson gas within the blood diamond was constantly undulating, creating an exceptionally eerie atmosphere

It is indeed the case that such monsters can only be barely defeated; if there were more, it would truly be impossible to contend with them. These monsters can be dealt with, at least, through intelligence. However, when it comes to those powerful giant insects, one simply cannot fight back and can only be treated as food by them. As long as one possesses sufficient strength, taking even the greatest risks is worthwhile, after all, one is no longer alone.

Friends, I can be considered as having avenged your family, so you may rest in peace! If there truly is a paradise in this world, given your usual conduct, you should certainly ascend to heaven!

To gather food, one must face dangers; however, if one's own strength can continue to increase, then those dangers will be significantly reduced

Lin Qingya unnaturally opened her small mouth, swallowing the porridge from the spoon, feeling a wave of warmth slowly spreading from her body, as a cozy sensation began to fill her entire being

Seeing the food in the pot nearly gone, Lin Feng stood up and touched his stomach. Although he felt somewhat puzzled about his digestive capacity, he suddenly recalled that his physical condition had significantly improved and that he had acquired ice-based abilities. It seemed normal for his appetite to increase as well.

Lin Feng's words were somewhat forced, to the extent that even he did not believe them. After all, those black insects were practically invulnerable at that time, able to strike easily when humanity was caught off guard. Moreover, there were various even more dangerous giant insects, making it difficult for anyone to escape unscathed when the apocalypse occurred

This room also contains a small bathroom of only a few square meters. Lin Feng, holding a bucket, filled it with water from inside, while he took a mop and began to clean the floor, scrubbing away the bloodstains.

This process took Lin Feng more than an hour to thoroughly clean all the bloodstains in the room, allowing the foul odor to dissipate quickly.

"Lin Feng, do you think something might happen to my parents? I miss them so much," Lin Qingya asked softly as she lay in bed, watching the busy Lin Feng prepare lunch. Due to the sudden incident yesterday, Lin Qingya had not seen her parents at all and was unaware of whether anything had happened to them.

"Trust me, I will definitely cure you!" Lin Feng said with a resolute expression on his face, staring intently into Lin Qingya's eyes, speaking each word clearly and with conviction.

Then you should lie down on the bed and rest well; I will call you once I have finished cooking.

I think you are hungry as well, so I will go prepare something first

Soon, Lin Feng prepared a small pot of century egg and lean meat congee using the kitchenware in Uncle Fu's room. Although it was not as visually appealing and aromatic as those made in restaurants, it was quite similar.

Oh, there is actually an old-fashioned m.hetushu.com radio. Let's take it up and see, it might still be able to play.

Looking at the four blood diamonds in his hand, Lin Feng shook his head, stepped into the room, placed the cleaned blood diamonds into a sealed container, and began to tidy up the room, especially the floor

After a long silence, Lin Feng broke the quiet, his eyes fixed on Lin Qingya as he carefully said: "Qingya, do you... do you regret it?"

"Qingya, come, drink it while it's hot; perhaps it will get better this way." Lin Feng held a large bowl, sitting on the edge of the bed. He supported Lin Qingya, allowing her to lean against the pillow, then picked up a spoon, blew on it, and only after feeling it was about right did he bring it to Lin Qingya's lips.

Lin Feng carefully helped Lin Qingya lie down comfortably, while he went to the side to continue washing the food

At this thought, Lin Feng's gaze instinctively turned towards the vessel containing the blood diamond. His hand reached out and then retracted, only to extend again and retract once more. The icy, piercing sensation from yesterday made him feel a bit apprehensive about the blood diamond

Holding a sickle in hand, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings. After discovering that there were no extra monsters in the area, he began to search the room for food and necessary weapons

Strange, why has my appetite become so good? I've already had three bowls and I'm only half full. This won't do; if it continues like this, the food that was originally enough to sustain two people for more than half a month will only last a week for one person. I need to find more food.

If it were not for yesterday's efforts to save me, you would not have been unable to see your parents; if it were not for the incident that occurred last night, you would not have developed a high fever. After all, at such times, it is nearly impossible to find doctors and medicine

Lin Feng did not feel sad for long. After listening carefully to the sounds from downstairs and realizing there was nothing unusual, he finally let out a sigh of relief. No one wants to confront such a disgusting monster, and Lin Feng was no exception; after all, his current strength was not much greater than that of the monster.

I think they are such good people, they should be fine

Ami Tofu, well done, well done

In such an atmosphere, a bowl of century egg and lean meat congee quickly reached the bottom, and Lin Qingya shook her head, indicating that she was full

After Lin Feng came to a realization, he gritted his teeth and tore open the monster's chest, revealing the scene inside. A decayed and foul-smelling black heart contained a blood diamond that emitted a captivating red glow, drawing Lin Feng's attention as if this blood diamond were the most precious treasure in the world

These foods were all taken from the room of the family of three and their own room, naturally including staple foods like rice. Although Lin Feng, as a homebody, does not often cook, the meals he prepares are generally not inedible, especially as he has become quite skilled at some simple recipes.

Just as Lin Feng was about to leave the room, he suddenly stopped, his eyes surveying a dusty radio in the corner. A thought crossed his mind, and he picked up the radio.

What do you regret

He took another bowl to the side and began to eat in a hasty manner, as he was indeed a bit hungry

With a sense of doubt, Lin Feng went upstairs to dissect the other three monster corpses, and collected three blood diamonds of varying sizes.

Perhaps this blood diamond is formed from the essence of human blood! It doesn't matter; this thing can only be understood through research. Speculating further is pointless; after all, these are merely conjectures!

Lin Qingya fell silent for a moment, then spoke, her face revealing a hint of blush at the end of her words. However, it was not long before her face turned pale again, and she began to cough repeatedly, prompting Lin Feng to hurriedly come to her bedside and gently pat her back

Among them, two were not significantly different, found near the hearts of that couple. However, overall, they were still inferior to the blood diamond just obtained, though slightly larger than the one from yesterday. The blood diamond found in the chest of the monster transformed from the little girl was much smaller, roughly half the size of the couple's. This left Lin Feng feeling puzzled, as images of the four monsters transformed from humans floated in his mind.

We have known each other since childhood, and it has been so many years. Out of both emotion and reason, I should have saved you at that time. If I hadn't saved you then, I might have been eaten by the monster myself. Moreover, I am still living well now! At the very least, I have you by my side, accompanying me, protecting me, and taking care of me

Lin Feng set down the various items in his hands and looked at the old-fashioned clock on the wall, which pointed to 11 AM, and couldn't help but smile as he spoke

What delighted Lin Feng was not only finding enough food for two people to last a week, but also discovering a machete hidden under the bed

Emerging from his room, Lin Feng once again retrieved the food from his room. He returned to the fifth-floor room with various food items packed in a snake-skin bag, along with a machete and a radio, and securely closed the door behind him

Lin M.hetushu.com.com Feng is an atheist, but when faced with the bodies of this family of three, he cannot help but feel a sense of sadness, after all, he had a good relationship with them in daily life

"You finally made it back; it's good that nothing happened." Just as Lin Feng closed the door to his room, he heard Lin Qingya's concerned words, which warmed his heart and brought a genuine smile to his face

However, now it seems that Lin Feng has benefited, as the machete is indeed harder and sharper than the sickle, allowing for better monster slaying

The room fell silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, as the two remained silent, not speaking for a long time

After completing these tasks, Lin Feng put on a pair of gloves and laboriously moved the bodies from the entrance and the hallway to the corridor on the fourth floor, before finally clapping his hands.

The largest blood diamond is obtained from the strongest-looking monster, followed by the blood diamond from the young couple. The one obtained from Uncle Fu yesterday ranks next, and finally, there is the blood diamond from the little girl. There seems to be an inexplicable connection among these, suggesting that the stronger a human was in life, the larger and more brilliant the blood diamond they become after transforming into a monster. Conversely, the opposite holds true, and the size of the blood diamond appears to be proportional to the strength of the monster.

This machete measures over half a meter in length, its smooth blade emanating a chilling gleam that instills fear. At the same time, it sends a shiver down Lin Feng's spine; he never expected that the usually kind and hospitable couple would hide such a weapon in their home. If he were to fall out with them, it could spell disaster, especially since Lin Feng lives directly across from them

Lin Feng set the bowl aside and helped Lin Qingya lie down in the most comfortable position, watching her fall into a deep sleep
