Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mengfei quickly pulled two medical trolleys into the cell and quietly closed the door.

In the cell, Shen Le grabbed the necks of the two blooddrawers one by one and pressed them against the wall.

The two phlebotomists were pinched and couldn't breathe, and their faces were as suffocated as purple eggplants, as if they were about to suffocate.

"I know you're just a little person, and if you answer my questions honestly, you still have a chance to live."

"But if you try to call for help, you can think for yourself!"

Shen Le's tone was quite calm, but his eyes were as cold as the gaze of death.

Just this look scared the two phlebotomists into peeing their pants.

Because his neck was choked, a phlebotomist had to answer with difficulty: "It must be... Answer honestly, you must be honest..."

Shen Le asked, "When the pioneers are old, they can prolong their lives by exchanging blood, what's going on?" ”

"Concrete... I don't know, I've heard about it......"

With a click, another phlebotomist who didn't know anything was pinched off by Shen Le!

His corpse stared at the eyes that were about to protrude from the sockets, and slowly fell down the wall, the death was hideous and terrifying!

"Ahh I say... I'll say it all! My cousin is the personal physician of the old master of Zheng. ”

"It was he who once drank too much and told me that pioneers don't live long."

"By the time you're fifty or sixty years old, you're either going crazy or you're going to die from organ failure."

"If you want to prolong your life, you have to exchange blood! But he didn't say why! ”

"Over the years, the Zheng family has been secretly catching poor people and wilderness people, in order to renew the life of the old master."

"That's all I know, please don't kill me, don't kill me!!"

Shen Le asked again: "How many people are imprisoned in this dungeon?" ”

"There are about more than 200 of them, and a batch of them were just cleaned up last month because of excessive blood draws, and they couldn't be saved."

People who have no use value will be cleaned up constantly, and in this case, there will still be more than 200 people in this dungeon!

Moreover, the Zheng family has been doing this for many years!

Shen Le couldn't imagine how many people had been mutilated to death by the Zheng family over the years?

Shen Le sneered: "You are very well-behaved and an honest person. Spare your life for the time being. However, you still have to behave well! ”

"Yes, yes! I'm going to behave well! ”

Shen Le took out a cigarette from the space of the gods and silently lit one.

In the midst of the smoke, he looked at Jiang Mengfei and said, "What's the matter that the pioneers don't live long?" ”

Jiang Mengfei pondered for a moment and continued: "This is actually not a big secret, the older pioneers basically know it. ”

Then, Shen Le learned the reason from Jiang Mengfei's mouth.

The fundamental reason why the Pioneer has transcendent abilities and strong combat power is the Breath of the Abyss.

But the Abyssal Breath is an energy that escapes from the Otherworld, and it is very violent and evil in itself.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.

Once humans awaken to become pioneers and begin to be able to use the Abyssal Breath, the Abyssal Breath begins to erode the human body.

There are only two end results.

First, consciousness is completely eroded, and it has become a monster like a monster that destroys the world, and it is extremely powerful.

Second, the body is overwhelmed by erosion, and multiple organs fail and die.

And the stronger the ability, the faster it will die.

Among the pioneers, about 50% of them survived the age of 50 unharmed.

This does not include deaths caused by combat sacrifices, accidents, etc.

Those who can live past the age of 60 are probably only 10%.

Like Zheng Pengchi, he lived to be over seventy years old.

Still not eroded by the breath of the abyss, degenerated into a monster, and the body is still very healthy, it is definitely a rare existence.

At the same time, the Pioneers often carried out arduous combat missions on the frontal battlefield against the World Destroyer, and the casualty rate was extremely high.

So, in a sense, the pioneers are also the first to go.

A cigarette burned out, and Jiang Mengfei finished speaking.

Shen Le asked, "Is exchange transfusion the only treatment for this condition?" ”

"There is no cure at all, and if there were, it would have been publicly implemented by the authorities a long time ago."

Jiang Mengfei continued: "I only heard about this method of exchanging blood today. ”

"Pioneers are powerful, transcendent, and admired by the world, but there are gains and losses, and this may be fate."

"Most pioneers are comfortable with this situation."

"In fact, if you calculate it, it is not a big deal to live more than ten or twenty years less than ordinary people who live longer."

Shen Le nodded, appreciating Jiang Mengfei's open-minded attitude.

In this apocalyptic era, the average life expectancy of human beings is indeed shorter.

However, in Shen Le's view, no matter what kind of world background it is.

As an intelligent life form, the depth of human life is far more important than the length of its life.

The so-called: people are inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.

Some are alive, he is dead, some are dead, he is still alive.

Shen Le looked at the phlebot and said, "You, take the two of us out to have a look." ”

"Yes! It's a big dungeon, and if there's no one to lead you, you're likely to get lost......"

"Any more nonsense, and I'll pull out your tongue."

The phlebotomists were immediately silenced, and they hadn't gone far in the corridors of the dungeon when Shen Le saw a locked cell.

At his command, the phlebotomist used the key to open the large iron door of the cell.

The turbid air with a strong rancid smell came to my face!

Seeing Shen Le frowning, the phlebotomist hurriedly took out his mask flatteringly and handed it to him.

Then the blood-pumping worker was slapped to the wall by Shen Le, and the whole person was slammed.

In this small cell, there are nine men, locked in shackles fixed to the wall.

They are probably between fifteen and thirty years old.

However, they seem to have a mental problem, and they all look confused and stupid.

At the same time, under their knees, they all have no calves!

Shen Le asked coldly, "What about their legs?" ”

The phlebotomist replied reluctantly: "These are dishonest, they once tried to escape, and when they were caught, they sawed off their legs. ”

"You also injected them with drugs?"

"Yes, because sometimes, they will attack us when we come to collect blood, and we can't damage their bodies too badly, that will affect the quality of the blood, so..."

Shen Le said: "You guys did a good job, you said that there are more than 200 people locked up here, is it that there are many people in the Zheng family, and they are all using the method of exchanging blood to reduce the erosion of the Abyssal Breath?" ”

"Yes, the middle-aged pioneer at the core of the Zheng family is also using blood."

Syllable!

Shen Le raised his hand and slapped it again!

"You're not honest, why didn't you say it just now? Take us to the next cell! ”

Jiang Mengfei immediately asked, "Won't we save them?" ”

Shen Le shook his head and said, "Tonight, we can only save those who have the ability to move." ”
