Chapter 361: Shadow
Meng Meng picked up a maggot: "This larva baby is actually quite cute."
Because Meng Meng was young and didn’t have any negative associations with dry latrines, Gu Pan and others like her, even those who grew up in cities and had lived in single-story houses or visited dry latrines, would instinctively think of manure pits upon seeing maggots.
Finally, after the silence, Lu Xuerong covered her mouth and ran out to throw up.
Meng Meng thought she was just scared of the bugs, not knowing where their fear and repulsion towards maggots came from.
Feng Zhekai swallowed his saliva, suppressing his disgust: "I guess we’ll have to get used to these things."
Gu Pan felt the same way: "Indeed, I’m also finding it hard to accept, but these really supplement protein. Eating them fills in for meat and eggs."
Chen Shaonan said, "Then we must eat them. We can’t touch the mutated stuff; who knows if that could harm the human body."
Feng Zhekai agreed, "Indeed, the mutated stuff might not show any effects in the short term, but who knows about later."
Guo Gang was not repulsed by maggots. As a special forces operative, he’d eaten bugs in the wild, but he was equally resistant to mutated things: "As long as we’re not starving, I don’t recommend eating mutated things."
All agreed that it was best to start getting used to the maggots, starting by handling them.
