Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"The winter in the capital is very difficult to endure. In order to survive, they will do anything. They just eat dead bodies, which is already good enough," Zhou Zhouli kindly explained.

But this ordinary scene to her obviously dealt a blow to Xu Qing. "That person is still alive." He saw the person's fingers moving.

"But without medicine, he will still die. It makes no difference." Zhou Li's voice was cold.

Xu Qing fell silent. His ancestors were exiled to Shangyu. He knew about cannibalism and had witnessed it with his own eyes. However, seeing this scene in the capital always made him feel cold in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Li's indifferent expression, he suddenly gained a deeper understanding of this cannibalistic world.

Jingchao is over!

The prosperity of the capital city that my grandfather talked about has disappeared, and in its place is a capital city that is even more chaotic than the outside world. It’s a pity that my grandfather did not live in this era.

Zhou Li stuffed herself until she was eight-tenths full, then wiped her mouth and said, "I have to leave now. I can't let anyone see me."

"Be careful"

It was Sheng Changan's voice. Xu Qing looked out the window. While he was distracted, the sound of the bell gradually faded away, leaving only the blood-stained ground, but no one was lying on the ground.

As the snowflakes fell one by one, the traces on the ground were covered up again, leaving only pure white.

Sheng Changan also felt a chill in his heart. Looking at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as him, he felt admiration for no reason. In a capital city like this, it was really amazing that she could survive to this day without becoming someone else's food.

Zhou Li pursed her lips and said, "Don't look at me like that, and don't sympathize with me. No one living in the capital is simple, even a child. I have a purpose."

"I know, everyone wants to survive," Sheng Changan said with a slightly curved eyebrow.

Zhou Li moved her lips but didn't say anything in the end. She just said "I'm leaving" and turned away.

"She wants to follow us," Yuan Qi suddenly blurted out.

"I know"

Yuan Qi looked at her smiling face and roughly guessed her answer. He turned to Xu Qing who was still in a daze and asked, "You...are you sad?"

His tone was quite incredulous. He had heard of Xu Qing before he joined Sheng Changan's team. Logically speaking, he should not have such an emotion.

Sheng Changan was also a little curious. No matter how he looked at it, Xu Qing was indeed not that kind of person.

Xu Qing came out of his thoughts and said with some distress: "Everyone is doing this, why was my grandfather expelled from the capital?"

He really didn't understand. They had already eaten people, so why was he still beaten in Shangyu? It was obvious that they were much more terrifying than him.

"Grandfather never laid hands on a living person." He felt sorry for his grandfather.

"I haven't had it either." He added, not knowing what he was thinking about, and sounded a little regretful.

Yuan Qi hesitated to speak. He knew a little about the Xu family. You know, although chaos had begun to appear at that time, it was still much better than it is now.

In this case, although no living people were harmed, it seemed unacceptable to always go to mass graves and dig up corpses.

Sheng Changan also fell silent, and reminded her gently, "I hope you will continue to maintain this habit." She didn't want to receive complaints from others.

Xu Qing sighed worriedly, "Don't worry, sir. I wouldn't do such a terrible thing. If I did, you would definitely not allow it."

From what you said, if she allowed you, you would really capture a living person for research, right?

Sheng Changan decided to change the subject. "You have already met Prime Minister Liu who has been ill. Is he really ill?"

Talking about his profession, Xu Qing became more serious. "It is indeed true, but it looks like just a common cold. Logically, it shouldn't have lasted this long."

Sheng Changan rubbed his fingers slightly and fell into thought.
