Chapter 28 Automated Slaughtering Line

When Xie Liang woke up, Xu He had already gotten up. He stretched, put away the long gown covering his body, and got up.

It was already afternoon when Xie Liang walked into the living room and saw Lu Bubu and the others chewing on the taro that he and Xu He had dug up last night. Xie Liang also found a chair to sit down, picked up a taro and began to chew it in a daze.

Soon after eating the taro, everyone started to have itchy throats, diarrhea, and swollen faces. Xie Liang then remembered that wild taro had not been genetically modified and was toxic, so everyone was poisoned.

He hurried to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, added a large bag of salt, and distributed it to everyone.

He, Xu He, Lu Bubu and Mu Jin ate relatively little, so their poisoning symptoms were mild and they were not seriously injured.

The obese trio was different. They had more obvious symptoms of poisoning and were now lying weakly on the ground, crying out in pain.

"If I had known this, I would rather eat the meat of the white tiger than chew this taro!" Wen Meng shouted weakly.

Xie Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The tiger meat has been stored for so long, it must have gone bad a long time ago. It's okay, just drink more salt water and it will be fine."

"Wow... Cousin, I feel so bad..." Li Ruohan cried and lay on Lu Bubu's shoulder.

Lu Bubu patted Li Ruohan's shoulder, trying hard to suppress his laughter and comforting him: "Aoaoao, don't cry, don't cry, cousin knows, it will be fine tomorrow, don't cry, dear~"

Everyone in the living room looked at them speechlessly.

That afternoon, Xie Liang and Xu He waited by the roadside until eight o'clock in the evening, but there was no sign of the truck, so they had to return to Baihu's residence in shame.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Xie Liang, Xu He and Lu Bubu met in the living room.

After the three of them went out, they walked along the road for more than an hour. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were waiting for the truck at a fork in the road not far away.

At around eight o'clock, the big truck finally drove into the village and stopped in front of a farm at the entrance of the village. The pig monster on the truck was collecting the fat man who had been 'slaughtered'.

Lu Bubu looked at the pig monster not far away and whispered to the two men, "There are four pig monsters in total. One will drive the car, one will do the accounting and pay the bills, and the other two will be responsible for carrying the fat man in the cage onto the cargo box."

"Uh, I saw it." Xie Liang said.

"Wait until they have collected all the people who have been 'released', then we'll climb onto the roof and follow them," said Lu Bubu.

They followed the truck all the way, and when the truck collected the last fat person from the farm and was about to return, they quickly ran to the road that the truck had to pass and prepared to move some stones to block the road.

There were two huge rocks on the side of the road. Lu Bubu walked straight to one of the rocks, picked it up easily with both hands.

Xie Liang couldn't help but ask him, "Why are you so strong?"

"That's because we ate two burning stones, which are energy stones in the small world. After eating them, the body's functions will be greatly improved." Lu Bubu said.

"What is burning stone?" Xie Liang asked.

"It's a long story. It's unique to the dungeon and not available in every dungeon. Anyway, you'll feel strong after eating it." Lu Bubu said as he went to move another huge rock.

Soon, they had piled up a huge pile of stones across the middle of the road, completely blocking it. Then, they hid in the grass beside the road.

The big truck was slowly driving towards the road here. From a distance, you could see a few pig monsters in the cab smoking and drinking.

"These pig monsters are actually driving under the influence of alcohol. They have absolutely no discipline." Xie Liang couldn't help but mutter.

"They are the only ones who have some discipline, but they are not human beings." Lu Bubu whispered.

The big truck finally stopped on the road full of stones. The pig monsters opened the door and jumped out. One of the leading pig monsters directed the other three pig monsters to move the stones blocking the middle of the road.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Liang and his companions quickly climbed onto the roof of the carriage. Not long after they climbed onto the roof, the truck started moving again.

After leaving the village, the truck drove to the right fork, passed the town market, and turned into another cement road.

Shortly after turning onto the cement road, a massive slaughterhouse appeared before the three of them. Even from a distance, they could still smell the strong, bloody odor, the distinctive smell of a slaughterhouse.

The slaughterhouse has three floors, and the floor height is three times that of an ordinary building. It is next to another building of the same height, and the third floors of the two buildings are connected by a sky bridge.

There were several identical large trucks parked in the open space in front of the factory, and the pig monsters were busy unloading large iron cages containing fat people in the trucks.

After the iron cage is removed, the pig monsters holding large syringes will give the fat man a shot in the head, and the fat man will immediately faint after being stabbed.

"How can we get in? There are pig monsters everywhere at the entrance. Look! There are a few white tigers over there. They look like the leaders of these pig monsters." Lu Bubu whispered.

"Let's leave here first, otherwise we will be discovered when the car drives over." Xie Liang said.

After they got off the carriage, they crawled into the bushes next to the slaughterhouse and followed the bushes all the way to the back of the slaughterhouse building.

"The keyword of this copy is destruction. Are you asking us to destroy this big thing?" Lu Bubu asked Xie Liang while looking at the tall factory building.

"Slaughterhouses of this size usually have automated slaughtering lines, mostly operated by machines. Could it be that the engine of that machine was damaged?" said Xie Liang.

After listening to him, Lu Bubu patted his shoulder in agreement and said, "Well, that's absolutely right. You're so thoughtful, little brother. I admire you."

Xie Liang: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..."

There were several exhaust windows on each floor at the back of the factory, and they planned to climb in through the shortest one to take a look.

"It's still too high. How can I climb up without a foothold?" Lu Bubu said worriedly.

"Let me try." Xu He said.

"Wait a minute..." Xie Liang said as he took out a bundle of ropes from his bag. "Here, Brother He, after you get up there, throw the ropes down and pull him and me up."

Xu He tried back and forth several times, and each time he was just a little bit away from climbing up.

After another failure, Xu He pointed at Lu Bu and asked him to stand under the exhaust window.

Xu He retreated a few meters, then started to run. He stepped on Lu Bubu's shoulders and walked a few steps horizontally towards the wall. Then he stabbed the black sword into the wall with all his strength. Half of the black sword was actually inserted into the wall.

Xu He let go of the black sword and stepped back. He took another run-up and stepped onto Lu Bubu's shoulder, followed by the black sword. He then jumped again and held the window sill firmly with both hands.

After Xu He went up, he took apart the fan blades of the exhaust window and threw them out, then let down the rope around his waist.

Xie Liang tied the rope around his waist and made an OK gesture to Xu He. Xu He pulled him up in two or three moves.

The ventilation window duct is spacious, about half a person's height, and can accommodate three people squatting side by side.

When Lu Bu came up, Xie Liang remembered that Xu He's black sword was still stuck in the wall, so he pointed at the black sword and signaled him to remember to bring it up.

Lu Bubu was quite skilled. He pulled the rope and kicked his legs against the wall, as if he was walking on flat ground. Soon he jumped up with the black sword.

The exhaust window's pipes are made of thick stainless steel plates, and the pipes are filled with thick dust, mottled oil stains, and a fishy smell when the exhaust fan is running.

The three of them half-crouched along the pipe and slowly moved to the side of the exhaust fan. Through the gaps between the fan blades, they could see rows of iron cages placed on the cement floor below. Each iron cage contained a fat man who was called a "two-legged insect" by the pig monsters.

The pig monsters below were busy pouring the "two-legged insects" from the iron cage onto the conveyor belt on the side.

After the conveyor belt transports these "two-legged insects" to the assembly line, the pig monsters waiting there will take out a large double-headed hook, pierce one end into the ankles of the "two-legged insects", and hang the other end on the conveyor rod of the assembly line to hang them up.

The teleportation rod would send the "two-legged insects" to a water fountain. After coming out of the water fountain, they would be thrown into a pool of steaming hot water. At this time, the unconscious "two-legged insects" died before they could even struggle.

After coming out of the pool, the conveyor belt sends them into a horizontal, continuously rotating drum.

After coming out of the drum, the "two-legged insects" have lost all their hair and are smooth, round and stripy, just like the big fat pigs in the slaughterhouse, with a white body.

The gap between the exhaust fans limited their visibility, and they couldn't see clearly any further ahead.

"Fuck, it makes my scalp tingle!" Lu Bubu whispered.

Xie Liang's stomach began to churn, and he swallowed: "This should be the slaughter area."

They continued to move forward along the pipe. The stench became stronger the further they went in. The odor of human body mixed with a hint of rottenness hit them in the face, making them shed tears.

Lu Bubu covered his nose and asked in confusion: "Why are they all men?"

Xie Liang suppressed the nausea in his stomach and said, "Most of the pigs in the slaughterhouse are boars. Why do you think that is?"

"Why?"

"Because the female is kept for giving birth."
