Chapter 1452 Feeling of powerlessness
Chen Mu, who was standing next to him, wasn't hungry at all.
This Hong Wenli is ultimately in the early stages of the bizarre apocalypse, a relatively novice state.
In Hong Wenli's mind, the food in the bizarre scene might at most come with a price to pay. He never considered that food might not actually be delicious.
It might... make people nauseous.
At least when it comes to meat, Chen Mu has never eaten any unknown meat in strange situations since that one time.
Of course, he didn't eat any that time; he just watched others eat.
The bald man walked over and heard Hong Wenli mutter, "It smells delicious, doesn't it? I didn't realize you were such a gourmand."
"Please wait a moment, I'll go get some plates and cutlery, we'll eat together slowly."
The bald man first went to the dining table and lit the candles on it.
The candle is red, and when it burns, the red light shines through the decorations around it.
A faint, reddish light dimly illuminated the living room.
"This is... quite classy," Hong Wenli said with a forced smile.
“You have class too,” the bald man said, patting Hong Wenli’s butt before turning and walking into the kitchen.
The players exchanged bewildered glances, while Hong Wenli shrank back, feeling a chill run down his spine.
To be honest, for couples, lighting red candles and having a steak with red wine would make for a very romantic candlelight dinner.
However, in this eerie setting, Chen Mu and his companions couldn't feel any romance at all.
The red candlelight illuminated the players' faces, and each of them looked sinister.
While the bald man was getting his tray, Lin Shanshan quickly said, "Should we go to the basement and deliver the letter first?"
Chen Mu shook his head. "Go to the basement? How do you plan to get there? There are no stairs in the living room; you need to go through the kitchen to get to the other rooms. The stairs must be in some other room."
The bald guy's in the kitchen right now, do you dare go into the kitchen?
Lin Shanshan fell silent, while Hong Wenli said, "This family seems really strange. The bald man's behavior is completely abnormal, isn't it?"
"Who would have thought four people would break into their house late at night, ask them nothing, and even invite them to dinner?"
Xiaoye also said, "Can you smell the blood in the air? It's very faint, covered by the smell of meat, but I can still smell it faintly."
Chen Mu nodded, confirming Xiao Ye's sense of smell.
The smell of blood, mixed with the aroma of red wine and masked by the smell of meat, was hard to detect.
Regardless of the circumstances, the bald man's actions were extremely difficult to understand.
The bizarre quest has progressed to this point, and the players haven't sent a single letter. Instead, they're completely baffled by the recipient's wooden cabin.
Everyone could vaguely sense that a sinister atmosphere permeated the wooden house.
Just then, the bald man brought over a plate and a pile of knives and forks.
He came to the dining table, humming a little tune, and began to set the plates.
The tune he hummed had a farm cowboy style, sounding both melodious and unrestrained.
In this environment, the red candles cast an eerie glow on the bald man's face.
Accompanied by a humming song, it gives people a chilling feeling.
Five plates were arranged separately around the round table.
The bald man picked up the tongs and took out thick slices of meat from the steaming earthenware pot.
"The best steaks, all thick-cut, first pan-fried and then simmered, tender and flavorful." The bald man looked at Hong Wenli, "Old foodie, you've had your fill."
Upon hearing this, Hong Wenli could only awkwardly smile and agree.
Soon, the other four patties were placed on a clean white plate.
The bald man poured all four glasses with dark red wine and invited the four people, "Don't be shy, sit down and eat with us."
Faced with the bald man's invitation, the players dared not refuse.
After all, a gleaming boning knife was tucked into the bald man's waist.
After the four people sat down, the bald man also sat down.
He picked up his knife and fork, his movements both rugged and elegant, and began to cut the steak.
"You're in for a treat! The steaks at my place are the freshest they can get. I just cut this meat off the cow an hour ago. It was still jumping around when I was processing it."
The bald man spoke with a hint of pride as he introduced his ingredients to the players.
Lin Shanshan could only smile and agree, "Yes, it is indeed fresh, and it smells very good."
"Good! I didn't realize you were such a connoisseur! You know your stuff." The bald man was very pleased with Lin Shanshan and proudly introduced his beef, saying:
“My cows are all grain-fed. You know, grain-fed cows cost more than grass-fed cows, but they taste better.”
The bald man talked on and on, boasting about his beef.
Even Chen Mu couldn't quite understand his actions.
This bald guy's behavior is completely illogical!
The players have broken in, shouldn't we deal with them, or at least be a little wary?
How come this bald man has no suspicion at all, inviting me to eat steak?
Chen Mu felt that the bald man was definitely up to something.
The bald guy is probably looking at the players like a cat teasing a mouse, toying with them.
Cats and mice again...
Chen Mu remembered that the bald man had said earlier that he thought rats had gotten into the yard.
Will this time, our survival be related to rats again?
Chen Mu's mind raced, but he had to admit that no matter how strong his reasoning ability was, if the other party's behavior was completely illogical, he couldn't deduce anything.
Perhaps this is what they mean by "a novice can defeat a master."
Chen Mu felt a sense of powerlessness, like "a master craftsman encountering a thug who doesn't follow the rules when he throws punches."
The bald man looked at the group and said, "Come on, try it. Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Hong Wenli was also a little hungry.
Hong Wenli picked up a knife, cut off a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth to chew.
"How is it? How does it taste?" the bald man asked with some anticipation.
While speaking, the bald man also ate a piece of beef.
Hong Wenli chewed for a bit and couldn't help but nod. "It's pretty good, really delicious. The aroma of red wine is very strong."
Hearing such praise, the bald man became even more enthusiastic, "Right? Doesn't it smell like red wine?"
This guy is definitely a gourmet. Let me tell you this: no matter how expensive the steak is at a restaurant, you can't taste the rich red wine flavor I have here.
Do you know how I did it?
Hong Wenli shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"Before I slaughtered the cow, I poured a lot of red wine into its belly, making it bulge out," the bald man said with some pride.
