Section 569 Brave New World

Song Caixia suddenly thought of the handsome murderous corpse that woke her up from her sleep and took herself out of the basement.

That's right, that thin face shape is indeed in line with the aesthetic point of view of human beings. It's just that now that I think about it, the face of that murderous corpse is too long. After coming back to his senses, he looked at the elderly murderous corpse sitting in front of him, his face was actually not much different from the young guy before, it was still so long. It's just that these monsters are very tall, with an average of about two meters, so the slender horse face doesn't look very obvious, and it doesn't look weird.

The long cheeks hide the fangs, and when you get closer, you'll notice two faint bumps on the surface of the corpse's upper lips. It was the part of the soft lips that encased the fangs inside, bulging out by the hard teeth.

Aside from learning how to get dressed, they don't seem to have changed much from before. Especially the eyes, the terrifying vertical pupils are easily reminiscent of cold snakes.

"We've been watching you."

The Murder Corpse Elder sat elegantly, and his gestures released an enviable aristocratic aura: "By the way, what's your name?" ”

Song Caixia felt that her nerves had become dull. She stopped thinking about things like no clothes on her body. Compared to these terrifying monsters in front of you who suddenly spoke and displayed a high level of intelligence, being naked was not important at all.

“…… My name is Song Caixia. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to answer the other party's question honestly.

"Very good, human name."

The Corpse Elder nodded with satisfaction: "I can't remember a lot of things that happened before. Memories are vague, but there are some things that you won't forget. For example, the taste of food, the tenderness of a specific part, and the wonderful feeling of muscle fibers mixed with blood when chewed in the mouth...... You're a very special captive, I remember you, you've been here for a long time, even older than my inexplicably vanished memories. ”

If Liu Tianming was present, he would definitely be able to understand what the Elder of the Murderous Corpse said. But Song Caixia is different. She couldn't understand these words, so she could only make up the incomprehensible parts of them based on her own experience.

"You're a smart human being."

The vertical pupil in the eyes of the corpse elder was emotionless: "You killed your companion...... Oh, I seem to have used the wrong word, it should be the same kind. Of course, I may not be wrong, but they are most likely your companions, because you were both captured by the same batch. To be honest, I had never been interested in livestock before. Well...... Livestock, do you know what I mean? That's what I mean by you. ”

The meaning of this sentence was obvious, and Song Caixia nodded mechanically. At this moment, there was not the slightest anger in her mind from the contempt of another creature. Livestock...... The Corpse Elders used the term as a term for food, which seemed normal to them. But for human beings, it is simply an insult.

"At that time, we had to consume some livestock every day. You know, we're never picky eaters. Of course, fat, what you humans call "fat", is more tender than the rest of the animal's body, both in terms of taste and tenderness. As you may have seen by then, we usually give priority to the strongest animals. I don't know if you understand what I mean, but I'm not talking about the fattest guys, but the strongest of you. ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Song Caixia's eyes.

It seems that this is indeed the case. Each time a captive is hunted, the order in which the corpse eats is usually the wounded man, followed by the tallest and burliest captive. The order is also men before women.

Song Caixia hadn't paid attention to this kind of thing before. At that time, she was busy thinking about stirring up conflicts among the captives, letting others intrigue and co-opt some people to kill others...... It wasn't until now that the Murder Corpse Elder talked about it, and he unexpectedly realized that he had indeed neglected to observe.

"Fresh food is always the best. Therefore, injured animals must be treated as a priority. ”

A string of laughter erupted from the mouth of the Murder Corpse Elder: "We have arranged a kitchen in the basement, and there are special women who cook for the captives. We have to feed you so that you don't starve. This wisdom may have always been in the back of our minds, or it may have been inherited from our ancestors. Only by keeping the animals in a cramped room can they not wander around and consume their physical strength. ”

Song Caixia suddenly understood. Her voice and body trembled, "That's why you locked us in the basement?" There's not much room to move around, and the less you move, the lazier you get, and the fatter you get? ”

This speculation is not unfounded. The cooks on the opposite side of the metal railings had never withheld food from the captives. They cook a lot of every meal, and there are plenty of them. Every captive who was brought in would have been surprised by this, but no one had ever thought about it. The rice is so fragrant, and although there is only one type of non-staple food, such as salt, dried chili, and pickles, it is already a rare delicacy in a chaotic world in the eyes of hungry survivors.

The smile on the face of the corpse elder was kind: "There is a light in the basement, but we don't give light to the animals. On the one hand, we were not as smart as we are now, and we didn't know how to use electricity. On the other hand......"

"You want us to sleep."

Song Caixia picked up the other party's words in a calm and outrageous voice: "A dark environment is good for sleep, thinking doesn't consume too much physical strength, and food will cause energy stasis in the quiet digestion process." The more we sleep, the fatter we get, and you like fat...... So, you're farming, you're grazing. ”

The smile on the face of the Corpse Elder grew thicker: "You should now understand the real reason why we want to eat the strongest captives in the first place, right?" The order in which the animals are used as food is only after the wounded. Especially when there were no injuries to the animals, they were always our first meal. ”

In an environment of danger and fear, Song Caixia's thinking ability was stimulated from the root. Although she was frightened, she replied tremblingly, "You ...... You are there to avoid harm to other captives. I think that's how it should be. Those who are strong will hurt others and may even kill more captives. In this case...... You will not be able to get fresh food consistently. ”

The reason why she was afraid was because Song Caixia thought of herself from this.

All the captives in the basement died because of Song Caixia. Either she stabbed her throat with that stinky broken bone, or she sowed discord and fought with others. In order to survive, Song Caixia was really ruthless, and even the few cooks who were separated by metal railings did not let go.

"You're weak. In your human terms, a sow. ”

There is no insult in the statement of the Murder Corpse Elder, it is purely a matter of seeing Song Caixia as food, and the visual point of view is naturally different: "I think you should accept the food title of "pig". I know what you humans think about food, animals are animals, pigs are no different from sheep. I'm amazed at how you kill other boars. Hehe! Don't think I don't know anything. Although my memories of that time were vague, I was not as smart as I am now. But I know everything you've done in the basement. ”

Song Caixia felt that her nerves had completely collapsed. She almost groaned, "...... You...... You know it all? ”

The corpse elder tapped his forehead with his slender fingers wrapped in gray-white skin: "I have eyes and ears. You are a clever animal. You know our "wounded first" feeding order, so you kill a boar in the basement and remove a piece of bone from him. Under normal circumstances, we would not allow livestock to have weapons. You think you're taking advantage of a loophole, but I actually know everything. I deliberately left that bone for you, just to see what you clever sow would do against other animals. ”

"You humans do have a higher civilization than we do. This is what I recently learned from books about love, sexuality, and physical possession...... This is the most intimate interaction between boars and sows, and livestock fight for mates. Hehe! You're a bad guy in the middle of the word, a female animal with evil thoughts in her head. You provoke other males to fight for your possession, and whenever there is a dead one, another one will fill in. And you are simply astonishing to me, you know how to take advantage of your own gender, and know that you must maintain it in the basement, and even the uniqueness that creates it. ”

"All the females died. Whether you do it yourself or other animals help, you've got what you wanted. I didn't understand why you were doing this at first, and at one point I even thought you were planning an escape, so I arranged for the sentinels to pay special attention to you. But you didn't do anything. You are honest and a quiet animal. It wasn't until later, when the new captives were locked up in the basement, that I finally discovered your true purpose. ”

Song Caixia "plopped" and sat on the ground. She felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, and even the simplest movement of straightening up felt laborious, and her voice was extremely weak: "I...... I just don't want to die...... I want to live. ”

"That's right! You're alive. But other animals have paid a heavy price. ”

The Corpse Elder looked at her with a smile: "Because of your troubles, we were forced to change the fixed order of eating. Because there are two wounded or dead people in the basement every day. ”
