Chapter 063 Huahua Farm (Part 2)

There is a term in social psychology called environmental corrosion.

Bai Tao felt that this phrase was a perfect description of the situation she was facing now. When a person is in a group and is governed by a set of rules with other people, the individual will tend to converge with the mainstream ideas/behaviors of the group, and unknowingly adopt some ideas/behaviors that were previously unacceptable.

This usually happens in the military, making them more disciplined and consistent in their actions, thus improving their combat effectiveness. This kind of corrosion is positive.

The corrosion of the human home is negative.

It in turn uses the environment to plant the idea in people's minds that humans are an inferior race.

This corrosion often starts from small places, such as having a clean floor wiped again.

"I think the floor is clean enough, there's no need to mop it again."

As soon as these words were spoken, the women working in the house stopped what they were doing and looked at Bai Tao.

They looked at her as if she were a sociopath, defensive and disgusted, as if Hakuto had just declared that she was going to destroy the world.

——When a normal person does a normal thing among an abnormal group of people, she will be treated with hostility because she is not sociable.

Bai Tao thought that women were submissive, so her refusal was considered a heinous crime in their eyes.

But at the same time, the walls are covered with slogans

【Humanity Home is friendly to humans.】

So getting rejected once or twice is no big deal.

The leader of Group 8 stood in front of Bai Tao and said, "Sisters, she is new here."

These words reduced the hostility towards Bai Tao a little.

——Occasionally, there would be one or two self-proclaimed "kind" people in the group who would help outsiders adapt to the situation. It seemed that she was very lucky, and the "Leader of Group Eight" was such a guy.

"Well, if you don't want to mop the floor, I have other things to do. Which do you choose, washing clothes or washing dishes?"

Bai Tao doesn't want to choose any of them.

Following the team leader, he expressed his refusal with his actions.

"Okay, then I'll guide you first." Before Bai Tao angered everyone, the team leader took Bai Tao away.

The job of the team leader of Group 8 is to sit in front of the sewing machine and weave clothes.

This is a very technical job and newcomers like Bai Tao are not allowed to try it.

——Bai Tao didn’t want to get involved, so she just stood aside and watched.

"Humanity guarantees that we can sleep for six hours a day. Women sleep at 12 o'clock and wake up at 6 o'clock. Men sleep more, but their work is more tiring."

The team leader said this in a boastful tone.

She seemed to think that using "benefits" could make Bai Tao more obedient.

Baitao: "..."

Sorry, we deliver it to you anywhere. Bai Tao can sleep whenever she wants and for as many hours as she wants.

Although he didn't get a response, the team leader was not disappointed and continued to explain the situation to Bai Tao.

"The Humanity Home doesn't ask us to do anything, but you know, women just can't sit still, so we do what we can for the Humanity Home."

Bai Tao felt contaminated just by listening to the team leader's ideas.

Interrupting her: “You can go out to work.”

"How can a woman work? It's detrimental to her reputation. Women should never leave the house!"

Baitao: "..."

She was so naive to think that the team leader would say, "The outside world/Dream City is too dangerous."

Please continue and let her see what feudal dregs have brainwashed the people here.

"You are from outside, right? Do you have a job? Girls with jobs are worthless, quit your job quickly, blabla..."

"ah--"

With a scream, a woman who was about to give birth collapsed to the ground.

The other women gathered around him.

"It's time to give birth, it's time to give birth!"

Everyone was busy and methodical without panicking.

Bai Tao was confused for a moment. Did she enter the wrong set?

In less than a minute, a fat baby was brought out.

There was no amniotic fluid or blood, and the baby's skin was pink and white, not at all like a newborn.

Bai Tao still has some common sense, but this is completely different from the real world. After a woman gives birth, she immediately returns to her previous job - kneeling on the ground and mopping the floor - while holding the baby.

The second sister-in-law suddenly appeared, patted the baby's butt, and swept the prop across the baby's head.

He sighed and shook his head: "Send it to the pet store."

There is only one pet shop in Dream City, and that is Huahua Pet Shop.

The lady holding the child looked calm. She nodded and handed the child over.

The people around seemed to be used to it.

However, Bai Tao keenly noticed that there was a flash of sarcasm in the eyes of several ladies with flat bellies.

Silently memorize the faces of these people.

If no one objects, let her object.

Occasionally someone needs to stand up and break the blockade of the environment and say no to things, and Bai Tao is willing to be that person.

Bai Tao stopped her second sister-in-law and said, "I'm really confused as to why such a healthy child should be sent to a place like a pet store."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the women in the room looked at Bai Tao.

Everyone had different emotions, including shock, sarcasm, ridicule, anger, indifference, disgust, and a hint of expectation that even the person himself could hardly detect. Bai Tao looked back at everyone else one by one.

The team leader pulled on Bai Tao's sleeve, indicating that he would explain it to her, but she didn't pull her.

The gaze from the woman in the room made her blush.

The team leader explained, "Because this child is defective, he has no citizenship qualifications."

Bai Tao certainly knew this. In the eyes of Miss Yang and outsiders, pet shops were the only way for non-citizen creatures to survive under cruel rules.

But this is Huahua Human Home, and it is run by the same company as Huahua Pet Shop.

"As soon as they are born, they are sent to the pet store. People who know about this think that the pet store is 'kind-hearted', but people like me who just got here don't know why it feels like you are delivering goods to the pet store or breeding farm."

The proportion of pregnant women is so high, who would believe that there is no ghost?

The team leader at the side was so anxious that he was about to get angry because he didn't stop Bai Tao.

Bai Tao continued to speak, but her tone was much gentler.

"Perhaps we can talk to the pet store and raise the baby in a human home? Even if he doesn't have citizenship, we can get a pet license."

"We are all mothers. Can you bear to separate your children and send them to a pet store?"

Bai Tao is skilled in using maternal love to kidnap others. She knows that not all mothers love their children, and before becoming a mother, a mother is still a human being.

Maternal love only gives these women who have been brainwashed by the rules of the human home a reason to rebel.

Anyway, Bai Tao saw that many people were shaken, and most people were still waiting and watching.

Before Bai Tao could continue to incite, another lady gently pulled her back.

"I know you're anxious, but please don't be anxious. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Let me introduce myself. I'm Xia Rou, the leader of Group 1. The child will not be sent away immediately, so you still have time to understand what happened."

Xia Rou was one of the people whose eyes flashed with sarcasm before, which made Bai Tao give up her previous plan.

Xia Rou said calmly, "Team Leader Wang, you are about to give birth, so let me take care of the new baby."

The previous team leader looked at Xia Rou hesitantly, then at Bai Tao, and nodded.

Xia Rou has a higher status and is more sober, so she doesn't use any moral principles to discipline Bai Tao.

She said: "Because we are the weak, you are from outside, you know the situation outside better than I do."

So why have children?

This is not the right situation to say this.

Xia Rou is a beauty, with a look of world-weariness and helplessness, and a face full of sorrow, which makes people feel sympathy for her.

In this case, Bai Tao showed mercy and sympathy at the appropriate time.

It wasn't all a disguise, she genuinely sympathized with this 'person'.

This brought the two closer together.

"Everything is done to survive. We are all poor people. They give birth to children voluntarily."

Xia Rou did not assign any work to Bai Tao directly, but took her for a stroll to get to know the human home.

People greeted Xia Rou one after another on the road, which further confirmed that Xia Rou had a high status in the human family.

Xia Rou's attitude is kind and friendly, and "Human Home is friendly to humans" is not an empty statement.

When the atmosphere was about the same, Bai Tao suddenly asked, "Huahua Pet Shop, what kind of place is that?"

"A better place than here, where the children can be properly taken care of."

He did not take offense to Bai Tao's suspicious look. Many people who had just arrived at the Human Home were like this at first.

But soon they will find that the human home is the best destination. Thinking of this, the smile lines on Xia Rou's cheeks deepened.

"Indeed, seeing is believing. I can arrange for you and others to send your child to Huahua Pet Shop." He casually handed Bai Tao a flyer of Huahua Pet Shop.

Bai Tao once again raised Xia Rou's status in the Flower Human Family.

“This is where the men work.”

Not far away, a group of shirtless men were doing manual labor.

Bai Tao saw Kong Cheng inside, riding a bicycle.

If they didn't do new work that Bai Tao couldn't understand, they were probably generating electricity manually.

Seeing Bai Tao and Xia Rou coming over, someone whistled.

The gaze was extremely uncomfortable. Bai Tao's power was sealed by the bracelet, so she couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew it was not a good thing.

"I heard that you were introduced by Kong Cheng. Do you want to go and say hello to her?"

Bai Tao felt Xia Rou was looking at her inquiringly.

She is really well-informed.

Bai Tao was about to answer when she heard voices.

"Depend on!"

The voice was very familiar. Even though it was only one short word, Bai Tao could still tell that the person speaking was an old acquaintance - Lao Deng RB-309 from the biological laboratory.

Bai Tao thought that RB-309's consciousness disappeared after being taken out of the copy, but it turned out that he was hiding.

From his shocked words, it can be inferred that RB-309 is familiar with the former human home.

After the biological laboratory copy disappeared, Bai Tao did not find the corresponding company in Dream City, nor did he find any information related to the biological laboratory.

RB-309 himself admitted that he had been in the dungeon for a long time and had not come out, so how could he know about the colorful human home.

Both biological laboratories and human homes involve the practice of keeping humans in captivity.

Perhaps RB-309 could give her some new information.

The bathroom is probably the only place in a human’s home where they can be alone.

Take the disk out of the system space and tap the casing with your fingers.

"309, come out and talk."

Still pretending to be dead, Bai Tao used her fingernails to remove some debris.

"Next time I'll tear it all down for you."

RB-309: "..."

The bully went too far, swallowing up all his energy, forcing him to hibernate, and also threatening him.

The machine had to bow its head under the eaves.

"No, no, no."

The disk has facial features that suddenly appear on it, and it is very similar to a ginkgo tree on Ginkgo Road.

Baitao: "..."

I never expected that Yiji and Yishu were real father and daughter.

309: "Why are you calling me so urgently? Have you completed my commission?"

309 subtly reminds Bai Tao of the unfulfilled promise, attempting to arouse Bai Tao's guilt.

Bai Taolang was as hard as iron. She had no idea what the commission was and didn't respond at all.

He asked, "Who is your master? What is your relationship with the Human Family?"

The smile gradually disappears.jpg

After disguising himself for so long, he was exposed in the Human Family. Bai Tao didn't believe that he had nothing to do with the Human Family.

"My master is myself. I have nothing to do with the human family."

309 changed the subject: "My daughter's good friend, Ms. Bai Tao, although I am not a carbon-based creature, I would also feel offended."

Since the five senses can be inherited, the characteristic of [not being able to lie] is also inherited.

The ginkgo tree never lies, she just likes to play words.

Bai Tao accepted the suggestion and asked the question in a different way.

"Who is your creator? Human? Is he related to the House of Man?"

RB-309: "..."

He just said a word accidentally, why could Bai Tao infer so much?

309 accepted his fate and told Bai Tao what she wanted to know: "Yes, my creator is a human, and also the creator of the disposable prop [Human Identity Determination Straw]."
