Li Huowang looked at the meat bubbling away in the pot, calculating in his mind what needed to be done next.
Whatever happened, happened. I should put it behind me and look forward. The priority now is to find what I want and get everyone out of here. And I have to be quick. We can't linger. The only thing more terrifying than a village full of corpses is a village full of rotting corpses. The dead can still kill you, even if they don't move.
Li Huowang opened his mouth wide, pulling a chunk of meat off the tip of his sword, and looked at the others devouring their food. "Had enough to eat? If so, get to work."
The others, wearing clothes dried by the fire, gnawed on the meat in their hands and followed Li Huowang, sword in hand, out of the kitchen.
