Chapter 414: Chapter 402

Inside the villa.

Juan and Yu Lu stood at the second-floor foyer, from here they could observe the situation on the first floor most directly.

This internal servant duel had already lasted half an hour and was soon to reach a conclusion.

The woman known as Juan was completely captivated by this male servant, occasionally drooling due to a congenital split in her mouth.

"Sister Yu, where did this man come from? Even without sprouting, he has such skill, what would happen after he sprouts? Shouldn’t talents like him be highly valued by the Human Exploration Bureau?

How did he end up here?"

"Hua Yuan brought him. They knew each other before. Also, Luo Di knows Grandmother, and it’s the first time I’ve seen Grandmother pay so much attention to a male, so don’t mess around."

"Is he Flower Sister’s boyfriend? No wonder, her ability can indeed bring surface-level men directly. This guy is really enjoying, so many sisters for him to enjoy. It depends on whether Flower Sister wants to share."

Yu Lu briefly explained: "It’s not what you think. The fundamental reason he’s here is he was chased by the clown of the Eight Evil People, who even destroyed the flower garden and chased him into this game.

We just met once before, and I had some friction with him."

Upon hearing this, Juan’s face went pale, "Eight Evil People... clown... daring to move on our Sisterhood’s turf, truly asking for death.

Should we stop them from killing each other for a while and join forces to deal with that clown? It’s a good opportunity in this game, and I’m sure you’ve already marked the opponent."

Yu Lu’s head, hanging from a rope, shook slightly, "No, it’s not good to deal with this in the game. After things settle, just go home; I’ll handle things here. I have other tasks."

"I’m not in a hurry to go back~ I can stay here anyway since I’m free, according to the travel plan, I’m not going back until next month."

"Suit yourself."

"Alright then, once I’m eliminated, I’ll be waiting in the rest area for good news. Haven’t seen Flower Sister in a while, she’s quite comforting, more useful than most men."

During their conversation, the victory was already decided.

The massively fat pig was completely slain, and the pituitary hidden deep within the fat was collected by Luo Di using the Miniature Iron Maiden.

But this fat pig was extremely difficult to kill,

Every organ within was almost able to separate independently, posing threats, more difficult to deal with than the ghost skeleton in the parking lot, or rather, harder to kill.

Mainly due to the hunger effect influence.

The canned meat Luo Di ate earlier was basically depleted, the sensation of hunger had spread from the depths of his soul, looking at the spread pork belly before him, his mouth was already starting to drool.

"Mr. Di, I’ll head to the rest area first, talk to you when you’re out."

Juan from the second floor waved goodbye, judged as eliminated due to her servant’s death, taken away by a circle of darkness, breathless.

Yu Lu also floated down, looking at the scattered meat on the ground, casually picked a piece up and smelled it.

"Due to the injected hunger virus, although far off from the zombie virus concentration, these pieces contain a portion of it.

Though they seem many, enough to eat for weeks, only a small part truly fills the hunger, letting us last one or two days at best.

At least for these one or two days, we don’t need to consider food.

Luo Di, are you going to eat it raw or heat it up?"

After the battle, Luo Di no longer considered his opponent human; its essence was long not human, but a pure livestock akin to a pig.

Both in flesh and thought.

Under the influence of internal hunger, Luo Di’s perception slightly shifted, self-convincing it was just pork, nothing more.

"I’ll heat it."

Luo Di headed to the kitchen area, with water supply still flowing, connected two large pots of water and rapidly heated them with coils attached to the pot bottoms.

Just need to cut the meat into small pieces; it would cook quickly.

Satisfied by the most basic appetites, there could be other cooking methods, using fat to render oil, maybe make some fried meat, the very thought made him drool.

As Luo Di was about to boil the pot,

Knock knock knock~

The villa door knocked again, the knocking frequency was reminiscent of the clown earlier.

This puzzled Yu Lu, she tried to sense the hanging Mark she left, the Mark was sensed far away, not at the door.

"Don’t be distracted, just keep boiling water, whoever’s outside can’t get in here. You’re in a hunger state now, eat, and think about external matters later."

"Alright."

Luo Di’s gaze fixated on the pot, body desperately craving the fade of redness from the pork surface, craving the scene of it cooked, already smelling the meat aroma.

Just as the meat slices were about to cook,

Knock... knock... knock!

Three more knocks came, the frequency altered from before, seemingly adjusted deliberately.

This frequency felt eerily familiar to Luo Di, recalling a memory deep within of similar knocking frequency, possibly linked to someone important.

His thoughts drifted a year back, back to Saiwei Vacation Island, back to the hotel where the waiter knocked to deliver meals,

The knock was just like that.

Thinking back to the present,

The meat slices in the hot pot were cooked, looking at the slices floating on top, along with the delicious broth, Luo Di unexpectedly resisted.

Old Spine straightened, with the Game Brain structure jointly suppressing the proliferating virus within.

Though he didn’t stop cooking, Luo Di stood up, heading towards the door, curious about the one knocking outside.

Yu Lu, already descending from the second floor, looked surprised at Luo Di, "You can resist temptation? The recent battle should have drained your body’s food energy completely, now those hunger viruses should be rampant in your brain area."

"Miss Yu Lu, can you help me check the situation outside, I’m still a bit uneasy."

"Sure."

Yu Lu herself was curious, confident in her methods, eager to see if the clown was outside.

She approached the door, peeking through the spyhole.

Nothing was outside, no balloons or shadows.

Upon confirming no one, Yu Lu abruptly opened the door. No ambush nor balloon drift, instead, two cans of meat placed on the doorstep carpet.

While Yu Lu wondered why someone would deliver cans, Luo Di also approached the door.

Then, a cold wind suddenly gusted in.

As the cold breeze blew past Luo Di, it swirled into his ear, producing a familiar sound:

"Don’t eat."

This sound brought Luo Di back, further suppressing the urge to eat meat.

Turning to the pot stewing inside, those scattered red meat and what’s cooking wasn’t truly pork soup.

"Sister Yu, I can’t eat this meat.

I suddenly realized a problem; if I really ate it, my human nature would be affected, my advancement, my essence would undergo a subtle change."

Yu Lu seemed as if she knew all along, sporting a pale lip with a faint smile.

"You can actually withstand the First Generation Zombie’s virus, I thought you’d truly eat the meat, slowly transitioning to one of us.

No wonder Grandmother sees you as special.

Leave the meat in the villa as reserve food, let’s continue seeking canned goods. It’s only the first day, conditions may change over the next two days."

"Thank you."

Just as they were about to go out searching for food again, a noose hung around Luo Di’s neck, "By the way, when you opened the door didn’t you feel or hear anything? After all, you were about to eat the meat but suddenly shifted your thoughts."

"No, I’m just worried the clown might be outside... because that’s my kill target, its importance far outweighs eating."

"Oh, is that so? That guy isn’t easy to kill; I’m too lazy to intervene, so you better try hard."

The noose disappeared,

They commenced another quest for food in the community.
