Chapter 381: The Ambition of a Wolf
Half a while later, Tang Ze arrived in Yunhai City.
When he saw the current state of Yunhai City, Tang Ze couldn’t help but frown. Half a year ago, when he left, it was fine. Now, not a single building was intact. There were impact craters, collapsed complexes, and buried corpses everywhere.
“When the company was in charge before, everything was still alright. But ever since the company fell, various forces have been coming one after another like locusts. Many people survived the most difficult times but still chose to commit suicide by jumping off buildings.” Zhu Bei murmured, looking at the fallen corpses on both sides of the street.
The company was not good, but it still left a bite to eat. But these people, they didn’t even have a bite to eat.
Tang Ze even saw an adult holding a child, both having fallen on the side of the road. He probably didn’t want his child to suffer in this world.
“Is the Ye family ahead?” Tang Ze looked at the only area with lights not far away.
Hui Zai nodded. “Yes. The tallest central tower in the middle is where the Ye family lives.”
Walking on the broken cement ground, feeling the cold wind howl, even if there were still people alive on the outskirts, under this kind of temperature, freezing to death was only a matter of time.
These family forces would not consider the continuation of humanity like the company. They only considered the interests of their family.
In just half a year, the casualties were several times that of the previous month. The major first-tier cities had become a living hell.
On the top floor of the central tower.
This place was filled with an aura of luxury. Magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their brilliant light illuminating the entire space.
The walls were hung with precious works of art, each exuding a unique artistic charm.
Although it was the apocalypse, it still showed the owner’s taste.
Spacious leather sofas and exquisite dining tables and chairs, golden tableware and white napkins complemented each other, adding a sense of nobility.
The Ye family’s underlings, in neat uniforms, stood in two rows by the elevator, waiting.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened. Six men walked out with a smile. The Ye family underlings on both sides said respectfully, “Patriarch!”
“Mr. Ye, I like your way of welcoming.”
The man who spoke had a smile on his face, but the depths of his eyes were like a snake and a scorpion.
His name was Takeda Ichiro. He belonged to the Dongshan Shogunate.
The so-called Dongshan Shogunate was an alliance organization established by the island nation’s families. Besides the Dongshan Shogunate, there was also the Tokugawa Shogunate. The two were also fighting to the death in their own country.
“Mr. Takeda has come from so far away. My Ye family will naturally treat you with the highest specifications. Please, sit.” Ye Zhong had a hint of fawning. But his fifty-something-year-old son, Ye Guanping, behind him, was a little unhappy.
Half a year ago, Bashan City and the shelter had lost too many Ye family masters. Especially Ye Hengshan, who was considered a pillar of the Ye family, yet he had not returned. The Ye family had also fallen from a first-class family to a second-class one. If it weren’t for clinging to the little days, they would probably have been wiped out long ago, let alone occupy Yunhai.
As they took their seats.
The man beside Takeda Ichiro said with a smile, “Lord Takeda, Mr. Ye here has a delicacy.”
“It seems you have already tasted it, Taro.” Takeda Ichiro patted Takeda Taro’s shoulder and laughed loudly.
“Exquisite.”
Takeda Ichiro was curious. Looking at the cutlery and various dipping sauces, what kind of dish was it?
Just then, a Ye family underling whispered a few words in Ye Guanping’s ear.
Ye Guanping’s brow furrowed. To capture a woman and still not be back, what is that kid Ye Cheng doing?
Ye Zhong clapped his hands.
A trolley was slowly pushed over. On the trolley was a white cloth. Looking at the protruding part, Takeda Ichiro knew it should be a person.
Ye Zhong’s wrinkled face smiled. “Our family also went through the hungriest times. Sometimes, even the closest relatives can be put on the dinner table. So, for the sake of deliciousness, we will choose some young girls and soak them in milk to let their skin absorb it. When you eat it, there will be a milky fragrance.”
As the white cloth covering it was lifted, sure enough, a young girl was lying there. Her skin was lustrous and delicate, seemingly exuding a faint milky fragrance.
However, the young girl was not dead. Her large eyes looked around in terror, but she couldn’t speak, only able to express her fear with her eyes. She couldn’t even feel her own body.
“Mr. Takeda?” Ye Zhong called out with a smile.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ye. I was a little surprised,” Takeda Ichiro said with a hearty laugh.
He then added, “Mr. Ye means we’re eating her?”
“That’s right. Don’t worry, Mr. Takeda. She has been injected with a drug and cannot feel her body being cut.”
Takeda Ichiro let out a long “oh.” “You mean, she’ll watch herself being eaten?”
“That’s right.”
Just then, a professional chef appeared, pushing his utensils.
Takeda Taro said with a mischievous smile, “Lord Takeda, the meat you personally cut can be processed by the chef. But I personally prefer it raw-marinated. It’s very good with a little wasabi.”
“Mr. Takeda, please,” Ye Zhong said politely.
Takeda Ichiro picked up a small knife. “Mr. Ye, then I won’t be polite.”
The blade was very sharp, easily piercing the skin. Blood oozed out. Although the girl couldn’t feel the pain, tears of terror streamed down her face.
“I still prefer to eat it cooked.”
The chef immediately started cooking, but his stomach was already churning. Looking at the pitiful and helpless girl, he could only lower his head and do his job.
Blood flowed from the table to the ground. The blade cut mercilessly. Even the Ye family guards standing beside him had to look away.
“Not bad. It’s indeed delicious,” Takeda Ichiro said, chewing with a smile.
Ye Zhong said with a smile, “Mr. Takeda, the current situation is turbulent. We still need the support of the Takeda family.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. I wonder if Mr. Ye is ready for our request?”
A Ye family underling pushed out a map of Yunhai. Ye Guanping stood up and walked to the side. “This area will be provided to Mr. Takeda.”
Takeda Ichiro gave a “mm.” “Are the people ready?”
Ye Zhong nodded and smiled. “One hundred thousand women have been prepared. I wonder what Mr. Takeda’s intention is?”
“Mr. Ye, our nation has suffered countless deaths in this disaster. There are very few women left. To continue our nation, we can only borrow the wombs of your women.”
Hearing this, Ye Guanping clenched his fists. “How many people are you going to migrate over?”
Takeda Ichiro smiled. “All of them.”
“All of them?” Ye Zhong’s brow furrowed.
“Mr. Ye, you don’t think the disaster is over, do you? As the temperature rises, the glaciers will melt, and the sea level will rise. Our country will be submerged. And your Ye family will become our benefactor, sung by our nation.”
“Dad!” Ye Guanping immediately shouted. The ambition of a wolf!
Ye Zhong, however, ignored him and smiled. “It’s a great honor. But my request…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. Various high-quality blue ores will be delivered to you as agreed.”
“Haha, then let’s wish for our eternal prosperity.”
Takeda Taro at the side said fawningly, “Lord Takeda, this piece of buttock meat is very delicious. Please.”
“Sodesu ne (Is that so?), hahaha.”
Instantly, everyone laughed, not caring at all about the girl on the stage, watching her own body being eaten piece by piece.
However, the elevator suddenly dinged and slowly opened.
The Ye family underlings standing beside it hadn’t even noticed the rising elevator. At this moment, they only saw a man in pajamas and slippers walk out.
“How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice?”
