"You killed them before we had time to do it. You are very discerning and your calculations are very precise. Two people a day, no more, no less, just the amount of food that our group eats. ”

"Your selfish approach has troubled us. You know, those dead animals are no longer fresh and don't have the fat we like, or even look forward to? Don't think we're inferior creatures, many of my people were unhappy with you at the time, thinking you broke the rules and should have killed you and given priority to eating. Hehe...... If it weren't for my persistence, you wouldn't have survived until now. ”

Song Caixia, who was pale, felt that she must have heard it wrong. She looked at the Murder Corpse Elder in a daze, and after a few seconds, she changed to a more comfortable sitting position and asked suspiciously, "You...... Will you keep me alive? Won't eat me? ”

These corpses hadn't killed themselves before, and now it seemed that there was no reason to do so. You know, once upon a time, they were naked, and they were barbarians who had not yet evolved. Now they have learned more and know how to use the products of civilization...... There is a good saying: civilized people are always easier to deal with than barbarians.

"I intend to give you a gift."

The Corpse Elder suddenly changed his tone of voice and became very solemn: "Our race is very noble. You'd better be very serious and very clear about that. During this time, I've read a lot of your human books. You don't have the slightest respect for food, and you don't have any fear. You cultivate grain and graze cattle in the land. Of course, you will keep cute young animals as pets. It's just liking and pampering, but it's still not respectful. Because you don't think food deserves to be treated like this. ”

"You might take a dog as a friend, raise a pig you like until you die, and then bury it without having the mentality to eat them. But this kind of thinking will never extend to all the individual individuals of the entire human race. You think that all animals are inferior because they are your food. ”

That's a wonderful statement! I raised my hands in approval. The same applies to our relationship with you. We are not human, we feed on you humans. In our eyes, you are the real animals. Therefore, we are noble, higher beings than you. ”

This set of theories sounds so ridiculous that it's just.

However, Song Caixia could not argue. Her now slick body with no clothes on, her instinctive shame, the fear of being imprisoned for so long, and the madness of witnessing too many deaths made it impossible for her to confront the Corpse Elder verbally.

To do so would be to kill yourself.

Even if this arrogant old murderous corpse said that she was Song Caixia's father, she would nod her head frequently like a tumbler to express her approval.

"I can let you join our race. In a way that is acceptable to us, of course. ”

Join you?

Song Caixia suddenly thought of the word "infection" in her mind.

The corpse elder saw through her fear: "Then you think too much. The so-called "joining" is not what you think. If we wanted to reproduce the population, we would have controlled the whole world long ago. The high civilization that you humans have built is so proliferating and disorderly when it comes to reproduction. You never seem to have thought about the problems that come with reproduction, and you never worry about food. But we are different. We are very careful, the relationship between the quantity of food and the number of populations is so close that we will not allow famine to occur, and this danger must be eliminated at the source. ”

"We need a surrogate."

The Corpse Elder held up a finger: "Your intelligence, your cunning, and your physical advantages as a female animal all make me think that you are the most suitable guy." You can join us as a human being, not as an animal. ”

Song Caixia was completely confused: "Join you?" Why? ”

"We need a manager to control the rest of the animals."

The corpse elder's indifferent gaze was enough to read through people's hearts: "You must have heard the word 'sheepdog'. You should know what I mean. ”

Song Caixia couldn't help but shudder: "You mean, let me do the same thing as before?" ”

The Corpse Elder nodded, "We have many races. All over the world. That's one of the things I've only recently understood. You can be a shepherd dog for our clan. We're going to catch more wild animals. Your job is to domesticate them. Just as your ancestors did in ancient times, the wild boars, wild goats, hares, and pheasants caught in the forest were domesticated one by one, and turned into the docile and obedient domestic animals that are now there. You humans have a natural advantage in this. I've read On the Origin of Species, and I've read a lot of similar books. Your most successful case of domestication is to turn a wild wolf into a domestic dog, and the most ferocious beast into the most obedient and loyal guardian. ”

When it comes to this, it couldn't be clearer. Song Caixia knew that she had no choice: either she would honestly follow what the Murder Corpse Elder said and become their shepherd dog. Either refuse, or die now.

There is no third way.

"I'll admit that your words sound reasonable."

Song Caixia still had questions: "But I don't understand, why are you doing this?" Actually, what you did before was enough. You take human captives from outside, lock them up and eat them slowly. Also, I don't know the real concept of what you mean by "domestication". What are you referring to? Make the captives more obedient? I think a machete is more effective than me. ”

"I want to restore your human world to its original state."

The Murder Corpse Elder slowly rubbed his fingers, and released a cold gaze in the center of his vertical pupils: "You should live according to your previous habits. Everyone has their own job, and everyone has their place in society. Whether noble, rich, lowly, or poor, they are the driving force for the normal operation of human society. You can build factories, cultivate fields, and live your life the way you like. All of this is an indispensable circle for domesticating livestock. ”

"Only by continuing to cultivate the land and harvest the grain can the livestock population continue to expand and we will have more food sources. This is actually the same as you raising pigs with feed. The city needs a human manager, and we'll make you mayor. You've got to rebuild the hospital so that more females can give birth. You need to establish a good nutrition supply system to ensure the growth and development of the newborn. Schools must also return to normal operations...... Don't look at me with that kind of surprise. I like your human knowledge, presumably because we were human beings. There is also a very important reason———— the taste of flesh is much better for knowledgeable people than for illiterates. They are more delicious and the meat is more tender. ”

These words made Song Caixia shudder. She immediately understood the meaning of Elder Corpse's remarks about the school.

It sounds complicated on paper, but the truth is simple: most of the people who are successful in their studies are intellectual workers, and the illiterate can only do manual work. The working and living environments of the two human beings are completely different, and according to the concept of food classification of the murderous corpses, of course, it is better to eat more than the cultural people who are white and fat and have little physical activity.

"It's a balance!"

The Murder Corpse Elder continued to solve Song Caixia's confusion: "In order to fight the disaster, you humans have prepared a sperm freezer in advance. For the sake of our population, we must not let food go extinct. You can set up a whole set of rewards and punishments to distinguish between hard-working people and lazy guys. We don't like muscular guys, they eat with a lot of effort and even have some teeth. You can pay them a very high salary, and the lazy ones will be left to us. If you can provide a sufficient number of obese animals with an average weight of more than 100 kilograms per day, you will be more secure in our community. Trust me, you'd better do what I say. ”

Fear is disappearing from Song Caixia's mind little by little.

She wasn't as scared as she used to be, and she no longer felt that Elder Corpse was a hungry beast. Even the shame caused by not wearing clothes on his body has completely faded.

"It sounds like I'm going to do a lot."

Song Caixia began to bargain: "I can help you." But I don't understand, what else can I get besides being alive? ”

The Corpse Elder laughed out loud, his sharp fangs so obvious in the middle of his open lips, "I knew you were going to ask about this." All right! You can get the city. It is even possible to get more cities in the future. All the wealth here is yours. Gold, banknotes, houses, ...... Anything you like. Because they mean nothing to us, I wonder how you humans developed these unique values? Those things can neither be eaten nor drunk, but everyone wants them. ”

Song Caixia felt that she was a little hot-headed: "I can get more cities in the future...... Are you going to start a war? Between your races? You're going to take over other cities? ”

"There is a plan, but it's uncertain at the moment."

The Corpse Elder did not hide his thoughts: "Livestock is a necessary resource for our survival. The same kind in other cities are in demand. You are smart, there is a high probability that a war will break out between us. But definitely not now. Because we are not sure if there will be strife. Perhaps, you can use your human methods to negotiate consensus. ”

"I'm sure you'll be a good manager. For for now, I have not found a second more cunning, more intelligent, and more unscrupulous to the end than you. ”
