Chapter 92: Chapter 89: What Kind of Meat is This?_1

"Brothers, let’s go inside, it’s getting dark!"

The man smiled warmly at them.

"What happened here?"

"Yeah, why are there no zombies during the day?"

"What is meant by ’Night Demon’?"

Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke bombarded the man with questions, but he didn’t rush to answer, instead laughing and saying, "Let’s eat something first, you look like you’ve been starving for days! We can chat while we eat."

Upon hearing the man’s words, Shen Mingke and Zheng Minghui couldn’t help but feel puzzled. The man was overly hospitable. In the apocalypse, food could mean life or death! Most people would hoard food for a lifetime if they could, and yet this couple was inviting them to eat?

How much food did they have?

Pondering this, Shen Mingke and Zheng Minghui exchanged glances, both spotting a glint of greed in the other’s eyes. When the couple saw this, they too exchanged glances, and an eerie smile crept onto their faces.

The couple led Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke up to the top floor and stopped. The woman unlocked the door with a "click" and warmly told them, "Hurry up, the monsters are coming out soon!"

"Fine, fine!"

Upon hearing the woman mention monsters, Zheng Minghui dragged Shen Mingke through the door.

The woman looked at the knife and club each held in their hands, and cast a worried glance at her husband. She looked like she wanted to say something, but her husband gave her a reassuring look.

When all four of them entered the room, Zheng Minghui observed his surroundings first. For him, the most important credo in life was: prudence is the best policy.

And especially now, in the apocalypse, one had to be even more cautious!

In this apocalypse where man would devour man, could people’s words be trusted? Although Zheng Minghui hadn’t personally witnessed any cannibalistic scenes, he was deeply suspicious about someone offering food generously. He found it unbelievable that the couple would ask for nothing in return. Yet, he didn’t want to ask either.

After the husband had closed the door, his wife went into the kitchen. Soon, the sizzling sound of cooking and the aroma of food filled the living room. Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke inhaled deeply. The scent made them shiver instantly.

It was the smell of meat!

Since the start of the apocalypse, they hadn’t dreamt of eating meat, let alone a plate of vegetables!

The husband saw the look on their faces, and a small grin appeared on his face. He went over to their table and pulled up a stool to sit.

Feeling the husband’s move, the two quickly turned around, their minds full of questions about the abnormal situation they were facing.

Shen Mingke was ready to break the silence, but the husband preempted him, "Brothers, you want to ask about the situation outside, right?"

"Yeah, yeah!" The two nodded simultaneously.

"Well, wait a bit. You two drink, right? I’ll get a couple of bottles."

"You have alcohol?"

Zheng Minghui asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes. Even though there isn’t much left, since we’ve met you two, let’s have a good drink!" said the husband, grimacing occasionally.

He didn’t mind spending some of the meat his wife was cooking, since they had plenty of it, but the alcohol was different. Every drink meant a little less! He sighed, no pain, no gain!

"Go grab it quickly! Goodness, there’s even alcohol!"

"Alright, alright! I’ll go and get it, you two wait a bit!" The husband said, and walked into another room.

Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke exchanged sneaky smiles. They understood each other’s thoughts. Initially, they just wanted to eat a meal here and then take some dry food with them the next day. They hadn’t planned on harming the hospitable couple, but the presence of alcohol changed the dynamics. The two were of like minds and were also heavy drinkers. Upon learning about the husband’s stock of alcohol, murderous thoughts crossed their minds.

"The food is ready." The woman’s voice echoed from the kitchen.

A moment later, she appeared in the living room carrying a big plate of dishes, her voluptuous body swaying in front of the two men.

Clank~

At the same time, the husband emerged holding four bottles of beer in both hands. The glass bottles clinked together, making a clear and pleasing sound.

"Cheers!"

With a hearty shout, the husband quickly popped open all the bottles with a bottle opener, giving one each to Shen Mingke and Zheng Minghui. He then took a big gulp from his own bottle.

Seeing the husband start, the two of them took a sip as well, but they didn’t start eating the dishes on the table.

All the dishes the woman cooked were meat-based, no veggies at all – steamed meat, boiled meat, stir-fried meat with soy sauce, etc.

They weren’t fools. Meeting such a hospitable couple in the middle of the apocalypse, they couldn’t help but be on guard. They didn’t know what the couple’s intentions were, but they could only go along with the flow!

They didn’t know if the woman had poisoned the food, but they could only wait for the couple to start eating, then follow suit.

Seeing their guarded expressions, the woman smiled, understanding that they were being cautious. She picked up a piece of stir-fried meat with chopsticks and popped it into her mouth.

The woman was nearly forty, with crow’s feet already appearing around her eyes, but one could still see how beautiful she was in her youth. Her laughter was attractive, stirring feelings in Shen Mingke.

Seeing his wife eat, the husband addressed Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke, "Come on, eat, don’t be shy. Think of us as family."

In turn, he reached for the boiled meat slices with his chopsticks.

Seeing the husband and wife eating, the two of them who had been starving also impatiently started eating, reaching for the stir-fried meat and crunchy pieces of boiled meat slices.

"Hmm hmm, that’s right! Let’s drink to that!"

"Um... Uh, cheers!"

Zheng Minghui and Shen Mingke clinked their bottles with the husband’s, took a small sip of the beer, and put the meat in their mouths. But when their teeth sank into it, their expressions froze.

The unique taste of meat exploded on their tongues, followed by a faint sour stench.

"What animal is this meat from?" They both wondered simultaneously.

The piece they had tasted was somewhat like lamb, but not quite, and while it had the taste of pork, it lacked the chewy texture of pork.

Shen Mingke shot the couple a puzzled glance...
