Chapter Twenty-four

Yungo and Grace, hiding not far away, frowned at each other after listening to the conversation between Xiao Liu and the other person. The two were clearly puzzled by Xiao Liu's conversation, especially when Xiao Liu and the other person referred to him and this guy as bringing this huge ingredient, and combined with the unique shape of this ingredient, it made Yungo and Grace realize that something was wrong. No way, right? The huge ingredient placed on the operating table could it be——

Yungo and Grace dared not continue to guess. At the same time, a chill couldn't help but rise in their hearts. However, in order to find out the truth, the two still tried to suppress the chill that kept surging from their hearts, widened their eyes and looked at the operating table. Then, they saw a terrifying scene that they had only seen in horror movies. When Xiao Liu and the other person skillfully removed the nano-ultrasonic biological fresh-keeping cloth, a fresh corpse immediately appeared in front of everyone. Yes, just as Yungo and Grace had guessed, the ingredient that Xiao Liu and the other person had just moved out of the storage cabinet was actually a corpse.

Thanks to the advanced preservation technology of the Vis people, the corpse can be maximized to maintain the state just after death. Plus, the operating table is not far from where Yungo and Grace are hiding, so the two recognized the owner of this corpse as a member of the Broadsword Expeditionary Force at the first time when the insurance cloth covering the head of the corpse was removed. Because this person had once taken the initiative to say hello to the two when Yungo and Grace first entered the restaurant in E Star Town, and gave them a cup of delicious cocktail. So, this person left a deep impression on the two, which is enough to ensure that they will not认错 people!

However, how could the corpse of this member of the Broadsword Expeditionary Force appear here? Wasn't he buried on Planet E after his death? Moreover, Yungo and Grace clearly remember that they even attended the funeral of this team member! Right! Why do Xiao Liu and the other person say that a corpse is an ingredient? What are they going to do? Although Yungo and Grace have realized what Xiao Liu and the other person are going to do after seeing this corpse? But they still can't believe the scene in front of them and raised the above questions.

In the following time, Yungo and Grace saw Xiao Liu and the other person first check this corpse to determine how many parts of this corpse are post-implanted semi-intelligent mechanical components, and then remove all post-implanted components from the corpse without losing the original organic body of the corpse as much as possible. Then, the two began to clean the original organic body of the corpse from the outside to the inside.

Xiao Liu and the other person skillfully peeled off the hair and skin of the corpse, and sorted out the part of the corpse that can be used to make pork ribs. Then, Xiao Liu began to separate the remaining part of the corpse. The other chef was responsible for cutting the pork ribs into evenly sized pieces for cooking various pork rib dishes. As for the parts that are not suitable for making pork ribs and are not convenient for deboning into meat, they were all stuffed into a blender by the two and turned into meat mud, which is used to make special ingredients for making hamburgers and other foods.

The process of removing the flesh from the whole corpse is extremely bloody and terrifying, so much so that Yungo and Grace covered their mouths with one hand and pinched their throats with the other to prevent them from making noises due to nausea and vomiting, which would be caught by Xiao Liu and the other person. The strong sense of fear made Yungo and Grace feel horrified in their hearts, and their minds were also blank. At present, the two only feel that breathing has become more and more difficult due to this strong sensory impact, so much so that they feel that they may faint from suffocation at any time.

"Ah! What did I just say? The meat yield of this guy is indeed similar to the last guy! I estimate that the meat stripped from me is not much less than him!" After completing the weighing of all ingredients, Xiao Liu couldn't help but joke.

"It's not bad! After all, it's a special period now, and it's good that we have meat to eat! So, cherish this food! Ah! As long as we can complete the next evolution smoothly before reaching the world of the Vis people, as long as we can successfully enter the world of the Vis people, there should be a lot of good days to come!" The other chef said in a rather helpless tone.

"Hey! Why are you getting so serious again? I'm just a guy who likes to talk nonsense! But I don't disrespect our food at all, right? Otherwise, how could I have left all the fat on this guy's body?" Xiao Liu responded with a casual attitude, and at the same time, he didn't forget to show his companion a large box of fat cut from the corpse.

"Hum! You guys have a really heavy taste! You still like to eat their fat? I suggest you eat less of this kind of junk food! You know, eating too much fat can seriously affect the efficiency of evolution!" The other chef warned seriously.

"Don't worry! We know how to stop! Ah! But it's a pity that you don't eat this fat! You know, the dregs made from these fats can also be used to make many kinds of delicious food!" Xiao Liu said with a pretended regret.

"Forget it! I am a virus that pursues healthy growth! And my body has always maintained a healthy diet, I don't want to damage it!" The other chef refused.

"Hum! There's nothing to worry about? As long as we can enter the world of the Vis people, we will never worry about the carrier again! You can completely find a better Vis person as a carrier after evolving to the next stage!" Xiao Liu said.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"Although that's what you say, for now, this is still our expectation for the future. For this plan, we should still be cautious rather than overly optimistic. This is also the important reason why we Virus X can survive step by step today!" The other chef couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey! I know! I know! Be full of expectation for the future, but also be full of fear for the future. This is still the foundation of Virus X, and I will definitely keep our core ideas in mind!" Seeing his companion always maintaining a cautious and serious attitude, Xiao Liu gave up the idea of continuing to joke and said seriously.

With the end of Xiao Liu's conversation, they also completed the marination of most of the meat cut from the corpse, and labeled and packed them into different fresh-keeping boxes and stored them in the cold storage cabinet. Then, the two cleaned the blood on the operating table, stuffed the bones and mechanical components peeled from the corpse into a trash can, and left the room with one holding a box of unsalted meat and the other dragging the trash can.

After an unknown period after Xiao Liu and the other person left, Yungo dragged his stiff legs out from behind the machine where he was hiding, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he sat on the ground against the door, panting and saying, "Huff! Huff! Huff——! What's going on? Who are they?"

"Huff——! Obviously, those two guys are no longer Vis people! Judging from their conversation, they should have been completely controlled by that thing called Virus X." Grace corrected Yungo's statement while also struggling to stand up with the help of the machine.

"Virus X? Is it a virus? Or is it a parasite?" Yungo asked.

"They call themselves Virus X, so they are naturally a virus. Besides, who says that parasites can only be bugs, not a virus?" Grace responded, and then she couldn't help but look at the operating table not far away. Although the operating table had been cleaned by Xiao Liu and the other person, the lingering smell of blood in the room still choked Grace, making her feel like vomiting.

"Huff——! So, this Virus X not only occupied Xiao Liu's body but also turned them into cannibals?" Yungo also guessed after suppressing the sour liquid that surged to his throat again.

"Ugh! It looks like it. And from Xiao Liu's conversation, it can be inferred that many people on the spaceship may have been infected with this Virus X." Grace couldn't help but dry heave, wiping the corner of her mouth and answering.

Then, in order to confirm something, the two mustered up the courage to open the cold storage cabinet in the room to see what was inside. Then, they saw a large number of fresh-keeping boxes containing marinated meat in the first cold storage cabinet, and in the second cold storage cabinet, they found two more corpses wrapped tightly in insurance cloth. At this moment, Yungo and Grace finally figured out where all the meat they had eaten since boarding the spaceship came from. As a result, the two finally broke down their psychological defense and rushed to the sink in front of the operating table to vomit forcefully.

After a series of violent vomiting, the two sat weakly on the ground. At this moment, they saw at a loss and strong fear in each other's eyes. Fortunately, Yungo and Grace, as crew members of the Express Vanguard, had received very professional stress resistance training. So, even though the scene that just happened was too horrifying, causing the two to become blank after being frightened. But the strong desire to survive still prompted the two to reflexively get up from the ground, then stumble and run towards the door. The two now just want to take advantage of not being discovered and quickly escape this terrible storage room.

After returning to the rest cabin, the two shrank in the corner like a lost soul, gasping in horror, not knowing what to say. The two stayed in Yungo's room for an unknown period of time before they were finally interrupted by the chef who came to deliver food on time. In order not to let the chef who came to deliver food feel suspicious, the two hurriedly adjusted their emotions before they could muster the courage to open the door for the chef. However, due to the scene that Yungo and Grace had just seen was too horrifying, even if the two tried their best to cover up at this time, the chef could still see the panicked expression in their eyes.

However, the chef did not doubt the two because of this, but after finding Grace in Yungo's rest cabin, he immediately showed a look of understanding. Then, the chef squeezed his eyes at Yungo, who opened the door to take the food, and said, "Hahaha! It seems that I have come at a bad time! Have I disturbed the two of you to enhance your feelings? Don't worry! I didn't see anything just now! I say brother Yungo! Next time if you are busy, you can hang something on the door as a signal, and then we will put the food directly at the door, so as not to disturb you! Hahaha! I'm leaving! You guys eat while it's hot! After eating, you still have important things to do!"

Under normal circumstances, whenever someone teases Yungo and Grace about their relationship face to face, Grace will directly retort in a very tough attitude. Not to mention this time, it's the chef who mistakenly thinks that Grace has given herself to Yungo, which is a matter that insults a girl's reputation. But Grace did not immediately refute the chef, but acted as if she couldn't wait for the chef to leave. This made the chef even more certain that the two were preparing to do something shy in the rest cabin. So, seeing that neither of the two wanted to talk to himself, the chef didn't say anything more, but very knowingly took the initiative to close the door, then turned around and left with a smile.

Yungo and Grace knew that the chef not only misunderstood themselves. Moreover, he would definitely go back to the dining room and tell other crew members about what he had just seen as gossip. However, the two now have no heart to stop the chef or explain. On the contrary, because of the misunderstanding the chef had about them, they were relieved. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain why they looked so nervous just now.

Of course, another reason is that the two have now focused all their attention on the food delivered by the chef. At this moment, not only Yungo, but even Grace has completely lost interest in these delicious foods in front of them. Instead, the two have a fear of these foods. And after smelling the meat fragrance scattered in the rest cabin, they uncontrollably want to vomit.

The two vomited for a while, and gradually recovered from the extremely uncomfortable abnormal physiological reaction. However, due to the rest cabin still filled with the smell of food, although the two have stopped vomiting, the feeling of nausea has not disappeared. But the two can't continue like this. Because they know that soon, a chef will come to collect the dishes and provide new food for them. So now, they can only endure the discomfort of the body and mind to stand up, and then take advantage of no one outside, hurry to take all the food to Grace's room to hide.
