8 Chapter 8

It wasn't difficult to find "food", I found a whole gang of bandits who bought cocaine from a salesman in a tuxedo. This merchant had a pretty tough security detail, six armed guys with PP-19, pretty good for me. There were a total of fifteen people in the abandoned factory, most of whom were poorly armed. I did not interfere with their business and waited for the purchase to be completed. It was not difficult to remove the bandits, but the security of this dealer will be problematic, it is clear from them that they are not an easy rabble, probably military personnel, they can shoot. I'd rather wait for them to leave, it'll be easier there, and I didn't want to kill anyone, it's too early, I need fresh meat.

Ten minutes later, the deal was completed and these guys bought a good batch of coke, handed over the loot and all peacefully dispersed. The merchant and his guards left first, followed by the bandits, but it was not there. I came around the corner...

*BAM* * BAM*

Two are wounded.

I hid behind a crate and waited while guns were fired at me. Some of the guns, some of the Uzi, but everything was past.

*Bang**Bang**Bang**Ding**Ding**Bang*

Bullets whistled and metal rang, I crept in the other direction and I was no longer in the direction they were shooting. Then I leaned out from behind the crate and fired a few quick shots:

*Bang* * Bang* * Bang*

Three more were neutralized.

I rolled over and fired twice, but I didn't hit anywhere. Then during the shootout, almost all the bandits lay down, a couple managed to escape, their leader and some other type. Well, those were enough for me. I quickly checked them to see if they were alive, and unfortunately one was killed, so there were only five bodies for my poor experiments. With wounds like theirs, they could still live for a few hours, so I quickly bound them up and bandaged their wounds. Even if they Wake up, they won't be able to escape. Then I drove the truck over and loaded the bodies in.

I went back to the shelter and dragged the bodies inside. In this workshop, there were tables where machines used to stand, but they were removed long ago, and the tables were abandoned. So I put the bodies of these bandits in there and tied them up properly.

- Well, it's time to check whether you are edible. I'm sorry, guys, but it's nothing personal, you shouldn't have joined a gang and caught my eye. You may have been good guys before, but by choosing the path of the bandit, you chose the path of death, so now, you are my food. – After this speech that no one heard, I kind of calmed down a little. Still, I was not a maniac who enjoyed killing, and bandits are also people, perhaps among those I brought were quite normal guys, but I had no choice, there is a hunt, and once they made their choice to be a criminal, then this is their payback. I'll only eat those who choose the dark path. Maybe it's wrong to hunt people, but there's no other way, if I worry about morals, I'll just starve to death. I already feel like my strength is leaving me, a couple of days later I won't even be able to shoot, and then I will be finished, I just won't be able to find food. Now either they or I, at least innocent people won't get hurt.

When I looked at these guys, I was overcome with emotion.

- Who the hell am I? What the hell is wrong with me? Do I have to eat all the time now?.. people...- I took a deep breath and calmed down. There is no choice, if I don't eat, I will become weak, and then I won't be far from death. In the end, all people eat something alive, grass, meat... How am I worse? Think about eating people? They wouldn't have spared me if I'd met them in the alley, they wouldn't have spared anyone, which means they're my prey!

After these thoughts, my eyes became bloodshot and I decided everything for myself. They've chosen their path and so have I, and now it's time to finally eat. I picked up a knife and cut a small piece from a Latino's ear, then popped it in my mouth and quickly swallowed. Immediately after, I felt a strange sense of satiety, as if this was something I was missing.

Hmm, I see, I still need living people, I don't eat dead people. I'm probably some kind of meta-person, otherwise I don't know how to explain it.

Well, it's worth checking how long it takes for his meat to stop being nutritious for me.

*Vsuch*

I cut the Latino's throat and after a couple of seconds I cut off a piece of his ear and swallowed it again. The nutritional value was the same.

Five minutes later, I repeated the process, and immediately felt that the feeling of satiety became worse, although I cut the same piece. After another five minutes, the saturation was barely noticeable, and by the fifteenth minute there was no effect from eating, even when I swallowed a large piece of meat from his shoulder, there was no result.

So, after the murder, the corpse only makes up for the first fifteen minutes of hunger, which explains why I was able to eat that corpse in the psych ward. It had been no more than five minutes, so it was still edible.

Okay, now the next one. I looked at the body of the black guy and came closer. Now I was wondering which parts of the body were the most nutritious. Before that, I only ate the ear and forearms, the nutritional value of the ear was noticeably worse. I'll probably start with the external parts, the organs will wait.

Right after that, I cut a piece from his hand and swallowed it.

*Crunch* * Gulp*

I swallowed a piece of his bicep and the nutrition was quite good, a little better than the forearm, but not much, probably due to the fact that the doctor's forearm lay for more than five minutes and lost some of the nutrition.

It seems that all the muscles have the same nutritional value, chest, deltoid, spinal, there is no difference, the muscles have the same effect on my hunger. I'm not going to eat my hands and feet, it's disgusting, and I don't want to talk about other parts of my body... Blood so in General, the most non-nutritious. I think you need to drink a few liters of it to eat, but I don't feel like it... Hmm, except for the eyes, well, you can try.

I dug out an eye, and blood began to pour all around, these people should not have woken up they are under anesthesia, I pumped them in advance so that they did not Wake up and did not interfere.

Well, it wasn't...

* GLOT*

I did not chew it, now I have learned and just swallow everything, the meat instantly fills the hunger even if it is not chewed, there is no difference, except that you do not have to restrain the urge to vomit if you chew.

After a while, I felt satiated and something else... There's a strange feeling in my eyes, like my eyes are seeing better. Hmm, don't tell me that eating improves my body in any way, is that even possible?

I looked at the other eye and exhaled:

- Well, it's worth checking, if it really improves my body, it's not bad.-

I took a knife and dug out the other eye, then quickly swallowed it...

- BRR, so slimy...- I grimaced.

Immediately after that, I felt the same sensation, my vision seemed to become a little sharper, although it was imperceptible, but I clearly felt it. It's like I used to wear 10-point glasses and now I wear 10.1-point glasses, but you can feel the difference.
