Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

Chapter 106 They Eat Human Meat

She said to Wang Da, “Uncle Wang, it’s very late today. We won’t be eating.”

Wang Da did not insist. He pointed to a room and said, “You guys can rest here tonight.”

After thanking him, Su Shanshan wanted to push Gu Jincheng in, but Wang Da stopped her. He said, “Your brother will stay in the room beside yours. It’s not good for you siblings to stay in the same room.”

Su Shanshan paused. She should have said that they were husband and wife.

“No need for separate rooms. There’s no need to be so particular in the apocalyptic era. We’ve always lived together. After all, I’m useless,” Gu Jincheng spoke for the first time.

Wang Da looked at him with a strange gaze, and then he nodded and said, “Alright, you guys should rest early. After all, you still have to travel tomorrow.”

Before he left, he specially reminded her, “Oh right, don’t come out no matter what you hear at night, understand?”

With that, he left without explaining.

Su Shanshan pushed Gu Jincheng into the room and closed the door. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with this village.

She suddenly had an idea and said, “I know. The people in this village are all young women and young men. There’s no old man, no middle-aged man, except for the village chief.”

“And most of them are women,” Gu Jincheng added.

Su Shanshan did not understand him. She asked him with her eyes.

Gu Jincheng pursed his lips and said, “Those meat are human meat.”

Su Shanshan immediately understood the whole story. They actually ate human flesh, so it was not surprising that there were no elderly or middle-aged people in the village. They ate them, leaving only strong young men and women who could reproduce. Although Su Shanshan felt disgusted, she did not have much emotion. After all, in her previous life, after the eight years of the apocalypse, she had seen everything. She just did not remember it for a moment. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

Her behavior surprised Gu Jincheng. Does this woman know what fear is?

“Do you need me to help you get into bed?” Su Shanshan leaned against the door and said with a wicked smile. She looked like a hooligan now.

Gu Jincheng glared at her with a cold expression. He moved his wheelchair to the side of the bed and used both hands to help himself onto the bed. He signaled to Su Shanshan with his eyes. “Sleep on the floor tonight.” With that, he lay down on the bed.

Su Shanshan widened her eyes and said, “Your way of doing things is not gentlemanly at all.” Gu Jincheng did not respond to her words. Su Shanshan was not angry. Instead, she said sweetly, “Aiya, my body is so weak. I’m very afraid of the cold. If I lie on the floor, I’ll catch a cold. If I catch a cold, I’ll have a fever. If I have a fever, I’ll have pneumonia. If I get pneumonia, I’ll—”.

“Shut up!” Gu Jincheng lay on the bed, his veins bulging from her nagging. He could not tolerate it anymore and said, “Come up.”

Su Shanshan smiled mischievously and quickly got into bed. She did not give him any chance to back out. She lay on the bed and looked at Gu Jincheng beside her.

Soon Gu Jincheng could not stand her gaze. He turned to look at her and said, “If you don’t want to sleep, get off the bed.”

Su Shanshan looked at his side profile and smiled. “Who said I don’t want to sleep? But someone probably doesn’t approve of sleeping with me.”

She deliberately misinterpreted what Gu Jincheng meant by ‘sleep.’

A hint of redness flashed across Gu Jincheng’s face. It was not because he was shy, but because he was angry. He propped himself up with one hand on the bed and covered Su Shanshan with his upper body. He pinched her face and said, “Have you always been so shameless? Which other man have you said these things to?”

The thought of her saying this to another man made him want to kill him.

With sincerity and focus in her eyes, Su Shanshan said, “Only you.”
