Chapter 88 Human blood gluttonous

Not long after, Ghost Hand and Al were also present. Ghost Hand still looked full of ruffianity, but the strange smile on his face became stronger and stronger, making people feel that it has an unspeakable deep meaning.

Al sat in her seat with her eyes closed. Although she was quiet and said nothing, it could be seen from her occasionally trembling body that she felt a little anxious and nervous inside.

Luo You also noticed a detail, that is, a brand new cross was hung on Al's chest. The cross she had worn before had been left for Lu Ren on the eastern highlands of the swarm. This new cross should have been taken from the church. At this time, her little hand was holding the brand new cross, as if looking for some support.

Although the banquet was going on very normally, the details had already made Luo You a little uneasy.

The last invitee finally arrived, and they sat quietly and neatly in their seats. At this time, Marquis Charles stood up with his glasses and said happily: "Dear guests, thank you for your arrival. In the last few hours of the Day of Gifts, let us give the warriors of the Daybreak a sincere glass of wine to the city!"

Under the overflowing praise, the guests who attended the banquet raised their wine glasses and expressed their respect to the table of the dawn team. Most of them, including Ghost Hand, symbolically picked up the wine glasses and returned the gift, but Luo You remained motionless.

This rude expression made many people feel dissatisfied, but it was just hidden in their hearts. After all, this is a world where the strong are respected, and the evolvers have strange tempers, so they are all used to it.

After paying tribute to the dawn team, Marquis Charles began his own speech again. The content was quite the same, but it was just thanking this and that, saying that the official words of protecting the people as always and helping the restoration and construction of this wasteland were all listened with smiles, applauding Marquis Charles' speech from time to time, but it is unknown how much sincerity there was.

While Marquis Charles's speech, the waiters and maids also served dishes alternately. The dishes that could be held at the Marquis' Dinner are naturally unique. Most of them are jade plates made of precious ingredients. In this era when refugees ate corpses and residents in the city swallowed bread, dishes such as beef stewed with red wine, goat cheese, and frosted sugar-sweet cakes were placed on the table one after another, and this was just an appetizing side dish.

Among the dishes served at the back were grilled hares with plump meat imported from the Cross Church in the European region, reindeer stews that can only be caught in the northern mountains, and even unimaginable things like fresh fish roe.

You should know that in the era of collapse, humans have long lost control of the ocean. If they want to harvest food from the sea, there is only one way, that is, to move out in the coldest winter. At this time, many mutated creatures in the sea have swam south to avoid the cold. At this time, people can be sent to the ice to dig holes and put down the fishing net to try their luck.

However, due to the destruction of the earth's ozone layer and the temperature control ability has dropped seriously, the temperature in winter often drops to minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. Normal people will shrank at home, burn the fireplace hot, and do not go out all month. In this climate, the casualty rate can be imagined. Thousands of people are frostbite and frozen due to this every year.

The transportation of other ingredients also has casualties. Rebels in the mountains in the north are rampant, and mutant creatures are also everywhere in the land corridors between Eurasia. It is no exaggeration to say that every bite eaten at this gorgeous dinner is not eating dishes, but eating human lives and drinking human blood. These nobles are no longer gentlemen, but demons who drink human blood while talking and laughing.

Among all the people present, only Luo You and Al realized such a problem. Needless to say, the other people were eating and drinking happily. Eric and Arnold, who were straightforward, didn't think too much about this kind of delicious food in front of them. If they weren't for the concern of face, they would probably have to grab it. Especially Arnold, who was born as a commoner and usually had a light porridge of steamed buns and porridge, had he seen such dishes and had already started to eat them.

In fact, according to past experience, Luo You shouldn't mind having a big meal here. In his eyes, survival is the most important thing. What's the matter with human life and morality? What if thousands of people die because of these ingredients? So what if they are covered with human life and blood? These foods can provide him with the nutrition to survive, which is enough.

However, since he came to Dawn City and witnessed the various ecology in the city, Luo You's heart seemed to have undergone some change, some subtle change that he didn't even realize. This change made him have no appetite at this time and didn't even want to touch these foods.

The exquisite food was still being brought up. These nobles were eating like gluttons at this time, and the sesame oil flowed down from the corners of their mouths. Marquis Charles was also constantly delivering various meats to his mouth, which seemed to explain his obesity that could be described as bloated. What's even more ridiculous is that Marquis Charles also raised a dog, which was eating delicious fat meat that ordinary people could not eat.

Luo You inexplicably thought of a poem he learned in class before: Although it is covered with scarves, it is not as good as a noble dog.

I don’t know how long this gluttony lasted, until everyone patted their stomachs with satisfaction and praised the deliciousness of the ingredients, the dining session came to an end.

"Hahahahaha!" Without any signs, the ghost hand suddenly began to laugh deep, and the joke that was hidden in his eyes before was so strong that it almost exploded. "The main show is finally about to begin."

Amid the laughter of the ghost hand, the banquet scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone stopped talking, but there was a mysterious smile on their faces that they understood. In this strange silence, the door of the banquet hall opened, and two rows of waiters entered one after another. Each of them held a gilded mask in their hands. Judging from its shape, it should have been made based on the style of ancient Greek mythology.

Luo You glanced at the mask he had assigned coldly and soon recognized it. Ares, the god of war in ancient Greece, the incarnation of power, blood, bloodthirsty, and disaster, was not a good sign.

At this time, Al's face was extremely pale, as if he knew what was going to happen next.
