Chapter 551 - Hungry Beasts (2/2)
…
…
The night was as black as pitch, deep and depressing.
Following the direction of the gunfire, Xiao Luo, Powell, and the SEAL team came to a bare hillside about a mile outside the village, where a bonfire was set up. A strong scent of the aroma of roast meat wafted through the air from that distance.
“What a delicious smell! There’s roast meat!”
Sarah swallowed her saliva as the smell was so appetizing that she even forgot about the sound of the gunfire.
Roast meat?
What kind of meat is it? Is it livestock’s meat?
If there were livestock, how come the villagers here were all skinny and weak from hunger?
And what about the sound of gunfire?
That was clearly the sound of a shot from a 45mm pistol produced by Mei nation, which meant that it was the Mei nation’s soldier who pulled the trigger!
Who were they trying to shoot? The enemy or the villagers here?
Xiao Luo’s forehead knotted in a frown, and an extremely nasty feeling came over him.
A dozen bodies were lying near the bonfire, all of them from the village. And it was Rice and another SEAL who fired the shots.
“Rice, what’s going on? Why did you shoot them?”
Powell looked at him anxiously and asked, “I told you to find Hebrew and Adolf. Where are they?” His last words were even like a growl.
Rice’s face was ghastly white. He pointed to the two naked bodies lying by the bonfire and said, “Aren’t they right here?”
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the heads of the bodies were missing. They were disemboweled, and the thighs were missing as well. Then they chunks of meat being roasted on the bonfire on sticks, and they knew that they were chunks of human thighs cut into pieces.
Were these villagers roasting human flesh to eat here?
Every one of them shuddered and felt a chill run down their spines!
Rice recalled with horror. “When I found them, the villagers were chopping off their bodies piece by piece, roasting it and eating it,” he said, “The villagers dumped their heads in a ditch over there. I never expect them to suffer such a tragic death!”
” WEKK ”
A surge of nausea rose from Sarah’s gut, and she turned her back and retched violently. Remembering that she thought it was so appetizing just a moment ago when she learned that the roasted meat was actually human flesh, her stomach churned continually, and she couldn’t keep it in.
“Devils, these devils are cannibals!”
As she vomited, she denounced the villagers with revulsion. “How could they do such a thing? It’s so inhumane!” she cried.
Although Xiao Luo was shocked by the inhumanity of cannibalism, he thought it was natural. “A hungry man is no different from a wild animal,” he opined.
His forebodings had been justified. The village had problems, so did the villagers, and that was why he sensed the strange atmosphere hanging over the village.
Powell was going crazy. “How could those f*cking wretched villagers kill Hebrew and Adolf? Where did they have the means? F*ck!”
“Captain, we didn’t even think these villagers would attack us,” Rice responded, disclosing the cause of the trouble.
Powell was furious. “Where are the other villagers? Where are they!” he scowled.
“The villagers have already run away. They were all sitting around here eating. When they saw us shoot and kill some of them, they ran away.”
Powell roared in murderous fury. “Find them all! Kill them to avenge Hebrews and Adolf! he ordered.
