Unfortunately, Carmen didn't bring much food, so she only gave the man a biscuit. The man took the biscuit but didn't eat it. Instead, he slowly moved towards his home step by step.
Out of curiosity, Carmen and Claire followed.
When they arrived at the man's house, the two of them couldn't help being surprised. There was nothing in the room. The wall coverings had even been pulled out and eaten. Now there were bare earthen walls. There was a skinny child lying on the bed. If not
The child's chest was trembling rhythmically because he was breathing. Carmen even thought it was a mummy.
The man came to the bed and bent down with great effort, broke the biscuit into small pieces and put it into the child's mouth.
"His mother starved to death a few days ago." The man said at this time, "I wanted to eat her body, but I couldn't eat it at all."
"Now, other people have begun to eat the corpses of their dead relatives. Some people even go to the cemetery to take out the corpses that have not completely decomposed into bones, cook them and eat them, but I, I can't eat them at all.
The corpse of a relative or something like that. We were sitting together chatting and eating together not long ago, but now she wants me to eat her corpse or whatever. I can’t do that at all!"
"Why on earth is this happening? Why on earth is this great famine happening?" Carmen swallowed and asked, "Obviously there were a lot of fields before here, right?"
"It happened overnight. In just one night, all the fields turned into desert loess." The man also took a small bite of the biscuit and said, "Why this happened, we don't know. In the first few days,
All the food was robbed, and some people even attacked them for food.
The neighbors and friends in front of us drew their swords and joined forces, but even so, the food was finally finished, so we started to catch animals, but there were not many animals nearby, so we could only catch birds and dogs, and finally we covered a hundred miles.
All the animals were eaten, and it became what it is now.”

"Didn't you try to escape? As Ethekril is so big, it's impossible for everyone to become like this." Claire asked.
"Run away? Where can you run away?" The man smiled mockingly, "The urban area of Ethekriel has been occupied by that group of arms dealers. If we go to the suburbs, we will only become playthings."
Rather than die without dignity, it is better to starve to death here."
"Arms dealer?" Carmen nodded and looked at Claire, "It is true. I have done business with them before."
It's really incredible for you to do business with an arms dealer who can dominate the country. Claire thought to herself.
"Is it the Book of Famine?" Claire suddenly said.
"Book of Famine?"
"More than fifty years ago, a great famine suddenly occurred around the world, and every country's fields were inexplicably replaced by desert." Claire said, "However, it only lasted less than a week, because excessive fear attracted
The Lord of Fear came, perhaps the person who used the Book of Famine, or perhaps the Lord of Famine himself, but he was killed by the Lord of Fear, and the famine ended."
"Do you want to say that the person who caused the famine here used the Book of Famine?" Carmen asked.
"Maybe. I don't think it's the Lord of Famine who appears. After all, the Book of Famine has never appeared in the past fifty years. It wouldn't be surprising if it appears again now." Claire said.
"Well, this doesn't seem to have much to do with us. We're just here to find Ahes and Lucifer."

"You guys, do you know who is the culprit that caused all this?" The man suddenly said, and the next second he knelt down in front of the two of them, "Please, please, if you can, please solve this matter."
Come on, I, I don’t want my child to starve to death, I don’t care, but if I die, my child won’t survive, so, please, save me, save my child!”
The man kowtowed to the two of them crazily, and his already skinny forehead instantly dripped with blood.
"Ah, okay, okay, we understand." Carmen hurriedly grabbed the man, "We will solve this matter."
After walking out of the room, Carmen stretched.
"Are you really planning to get involved in this matter?" Claire glanced at Carmen and asked.
"To be honest, there is no need. I am not a savior. Why should I get involved in this matter? What's more, I don't know what the Book of Famine can do besides causing a great famine. What if I can't defeat it?
Do you want to pay for yourself?"
"Ah, that's right."
"However, if it can be solved easily, it would be better to solve it."
