Chapter 039 Chapter 39

Xia Meng observed the other six people.

There were men and women, middle-aged people in their forties and teenagers who looked to be in their teens.

Because they were wearing uniform work clothes, Xia Meng found it difficult to judge their identities from their appearance.

They were obviously new here too, and they kept looking around.

His eyes were filled with fear of the unknown.

Among them, only one person seemed familiar with the surroundings.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, thin, pale, with dark circles under his eyes. His eyes gave people a feeling of haggardness, clarity and alertness.

Xia Meng looked at him a few more times for no reason and found that his eyes were also on them.

But he seemed to pay more attention to the two sentinels, Li Zhou and Su Fangxiao.

High-level Sentinels are always easy to judge, as their body shape and temperament are very different from those of low-level Sentinels.

They are taller and more handsome than ordinary sentinels, and there is even an invisible tension in their every move, and the same is true for female sentinels.

Xia Meng looked at the man's face carefully.

No impression.

At this time, someone among them finally spoke.

The first person to speak was a tall man with a square face. He spoke in a clear and melodious voice: "Does anyone know what's going on now?"

This man had a soldier-like uprightness in his every move and even stood straight.

Xia Meng said nothing.

At this time, the teenage girl who looked the youngest spoke up, "Could this be the legendary time travel? I never thought such a thing could happen to me. This place looks a bit like some infinite flow—"

The little girl was well-read and could immediately identify herself with the characters in various novels.

A young man in his twenties interrupted hastily, "Who cares about unlimited or limited traffic? How am I supposed to get out? I have several takeout orders that are almost overdue! I'm rushing to deliver them!"

The oldest among them subconsciously tried to touch his wrist, but found nothing.

He frowned and put his hand down again, without saying a word.

The man's hair was combed meticulously, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looked like an elite who could charge at least four figures for an hour's consultation.

The last one was a woman in her twenties. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just tugged at her clothes with dissatisfaction and a look of disgust on her face.

Her outfit looked a bit out of the ordinary, with thick smoky makeup, colorful hair, and several tattoos on her exposed skin.

Xia Meng looked around and then looked away.

Okay, a soldier, a middle school student, a delivery boy, an elite, a rebellious young woman, and a suspected drug addict who can't make any judgment.

What kind of weird combination is this?

The soldier took the initiative again and said, "How about everyone introduce themselves? I'll go first. My last name is Chang Jun. I just got out of the army. I just got on the train and got here in the blink of an eye."

The little girl also spoke up: "My name is Luo Jiajia, and I suddenly came in here on my way to school."

The delivery guy shrugged and said, "My name is Chen Zhenxing."

The remaining few people looked at each other.

The elite introduced himself reluctantly: “Qin Ying, lawyer.”

He spoke briefly and to the point, as if he felt that saying any more to them would be a waste of time.

Finally, it was the rebellious young woman: "Ge Yue, Yue as in moon, I am a tattoo artist."

At this time, Xia Meng also spoke, and she said half-seriously, "My name is Xia Meng, and I'm a graduate student."

Li Zhou glanced at her and said, "Li Zhou, she's his classmate."

Seeing this, Ou Xu hurried to catch up. He said, "My name is Ou Xu, and she is Su Fangxiao. The four of us are classmates."

No matter what, let’s bind it first!

In the end, only the pale-faced man that Xia Meng noticed at the beginning remained silent.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on his face.

As a last resort, he spoke in a low, slightly hoarse voice: "My name is Awu, and I don't have a job."

Xia Meng is not very good at remembering names.

After going around, the person who impressed her the most was Awu.

At this moment, the whole room suddenly shook.

Then a large amount of stuff suddenly fell out of the giant pipe.

Xia Meng squinted her eyes and looked at it, and found that it was a large piece of stone as big as a suitcase.

The stone is a collection of colorful blocks of color.

There are white, yellow, green, red and blue ones.

It's like many different types of minerals are put together.

The huge rock fell out of the giant pipe and rolled all the way to the flat plate between the pipe and the conveyor belt.

The tablet is also started at this time.

It was then that Xia Meng discovered that the flat plate had several rows of spikes of varying sizes. As the spikes rolled, the large rock was constantly cut and rubbed against it, gradually being torn into pieces. The large rock was shredded into small rocks, and the small rocks were shredded into powder.

Everyone looked on in amazement, not understanding for a moment what was going on.

The conveyor belt is already running.

Xia Meng's gaze followed the conveyor belt and fell on the three pipes at the other end.

At this time, the corresponding colors light up on the three pipes. The middle pipe lights up in white, red, and green. The left pipe lights up in blue, and the right pipe lights up in yellow.

Ou Xu stood behind her and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Is this a classification game? Which stone goes on the corresponding conveyor belt?"

Xia Meng looked at him and thought that this was indeed a possibility.

In fact, this is not difficult to see.

Among the ten people at the scene, almost everyone reacted.

At this moment, a burst of "beep beep" sound came from somewhere in the room.

【Welcome everyone to join our human body factory. 】

[Today is the first day of your probation period. Please complete the work as required. Employees with high work efficiency will be offered full-time positions in this factory.]

[The work content during the probation period is very simple. Please place all energy stones into corresponding categories on the corresponding conveyor belts and transport them to other workshops in the factory through pipelines.]

Xia Meng captured several key words from this broadcast.

What puzzled her most was the phrase at the beginning: "human factory".

Human factory?

What does it mean?

Is there some shameful activity going on here?

And the "energy stone" at the back——

Xia Meng set her sights on the large pile of colorful stones. Is this the energy stone?

At this moment, the delivery guy suddenly kicked the conveyor belt and said angrily, "What the hell is this place? Who the hell wants to be a porter here?"

The radio broadcast another "click" sound, which was interrupted for half a second by the kick from the delivery guy, but it quickly resumed and continued broadcasting the report.

【All employees must complete their tasks on time, and violators will be punished. 】

【All employees are prohibited from damaging factory machines and tools. Violators will be punished.】

The word "punishment" slightly touched the delivery guy's already tense nerves.

He closed his mouth, took a step back, and pretended that he had not done anything.

…

At this moment, a cabinet door suddenly popped open on the wall.

Inside the door, there is a whole row of shovels hanging.

The shovel looks like just a very ordinary shovel.

The soldier closest to the cabinet walked towards it, took out a shovel, and weighed it in his hand.

The soldier said, "Ah, it's quite heavy. Is this the tool for shoveling energy stones?"

After saying that, he raised his eyes and nodded, saying, "Huh?" "Why are there only nine?"

There are ten of them here.

Everyone looked at each other.

The female junior high school student standing nearby didn't hesitate and walked forward to take one of them.

She said: "With my unlimited reading of hundreds and thousands of stories, when it comes to this kind of plot, it's better to follow the rules."

After she said this, Awu and the female tattoo artist next to her also came forward and took a handful.

Ou Xu looked eager and kept winking at Xia Meng.

If they don't act now, some of them may not be able to get a shovel.

Who knows what kind of punishment will happen to those who don't have a shovel?

Xia Meng nodded and followed everyone over to get a handful.

When Xia Meng took it in her hand, she lowered her head and took a closer look. It was indeed a very ordinary shovel, with a metal head and a wooden handle. The shovel was not brand new, having been recycled countless times before. The one Xia Meng got had a faint dark red tint on the wood, like the traces of dried blood.

Xia Meng stared at the bloodstains and was about to ignore them when suddenly a hand reached out, took the handful from her hand, and handed another handful that looked cleaner to her.

Xia Meng looked up at Li Zhou.

Li Zhou's expression looked extremely natural, as if he was just doing it casually.

Finally, there was only one left in the cabinet.

The only ones who hadn't picked up a shovel at the scene were the delivery guy and the elite man.

The delivery guy glanced at the elite man.

The elite man had no intention of picking up the shovel. He even frowned with a look of disgust.

Indeed, apart from his overalls, his entire temperament from head to toe was out of place here.

Xia Meng could even imagine him wearing a high-end custom-made suit, carrying a briefcase, and going in and out of various high-end places.

Perhaps even he himself did not expect that he would end up here.

At this time, the radio sounded again:

[It's 8 o'clock sharp. It's time to go to work. All workers, please take your positions.]

Junior worker Qin Ying had one point deducted from her performance score for not using tools.

The barrister's expression cracked for a moment.

He said rudely into the radio: "You only gave nine shovels. Isn't that forcing people to commit fouls?!"

The radio didn't respond to him at all.

Everyone looked at each other.

The radio just said that it's time to go to work.

In other words, they have to take their positions and start working.

Otherwise, you may face the same situation as that big lawyer and have your performance points deducted.

Although none of them knew what the performance score was for.

But it’s always better not to deduct points.

The soldier must have developed a strong physical instinct to obey orders from the army, so he took the first step.

He walked to the front of the platform with a shovel.

During the few minutes of delay, the originally intact large piece of stone had been cut and polished into twenty or thirty small pieces of stone.

Each color block is separated.

The soldier skillfully used the shovel to scoop up one of the largest energy stones.

There are almost three colors on this stone, the main one is red, and there are a little bit of yellow and white.

The soldier scooped up the piece and placed it on the conveyor belt in the middle.

The conveyor belt in the middle is connected to the middle tube among the three tubes, which is lit in red, white and green colors.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily followed the stone as it slowly moved towards the tube on the conveyor belt.

Until it reached the end of the conveyor belt, the stone fell into the pipe as expected.

At this time, the three colors above the tube flashed, and with a "ding" sound, the red light came on. With another "ding", the white light also became brighter, but the third sound was a long "beep" sound similar to a malfunction.

The next second, all three colors dimmed.

That unfortunate broadcast sounded again.

[Junior worker Chang Jun had one performance point deducted due to a mistake in classifying energy stones.]

The soldier was a little confused: "Don't the colors match?"

The middle school girl named Luo Jiajia said, "Maybe it's because they don't match up perfectly. Look, you just put in red, white, and yellow, but the tube doesn't have yellow on the end."

It turns out that every color must be accurate.

Xia Meng roughly understood the logic of this classification work.

In other words, they have to do sorting work here all day?

The four of them stood side by side in front of the stage, looking at each other.

This mental picture is so outrageous, I can't see that it has anything to do with Ji Jiazi at all.

Besides, it looks crazy here.

Ou Xu asked quietly, "Could it be that these seventeen people also ate poisonous mushrooms this time? I always feel like something is amiss here."

Su Fangxiao also felt that what he said made sense, so he lowered his voice and said, "How about I find a chance to go outside and investigate?"

Xia Meng asked: "There are no doors or windows here, how are you going to get out?"

That's a good question.

The moment he came in, Su Fangxiao paid attention to the surrounding situation.

This place is like a secret room.

There were no doors, no windows, and no outside light.

The only light source in the room came from several rows of fluorescent lights above their heads, emitting a pale light.

Su Fangxiao looked at the pipes on both sides.

The energy stone must have been transported here from somewhere else. If she goes out along this pipeline, won’t she be able to find the source of the energy stone?

The pipe on the other side is also smaller and narrower, but it should be enough for her to pass through alone.

Xia Meng thought about it and felt that doing so was a bit risky.

She turned to look at Li Zhou: "What do you think?"

Li Zhou shrugged, indicating that he didn't have any.

"But," he said, "if I had to choose, I'd suggest this."

He pointed to the giant pipe on the left.

Su Fangxiao: "Why?"

Li Zhou raised his hand and tapped his ear bone with his index finger: "Listen for yourself."

Su Fangxiao immediately concentrated and amplified his auditory senses.

In less than half a minute, her expression became increasingly serious.

Ou Xu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Su Fangxiao glanced at Li Zhou. She had always been proud of her hearing and sense of smell, but she didn't expect that the sound that Li Zhou could hear easily, she could only vaguely hear the general outline even if she tried her best.

So this is the gap between S-class and A-class?

She didn't dare to think further, and replied, "I can probably hear some stirring over there."

She sniffed and said, "I can also smell a little corrosive gas."

But she could feel that in the distance from the giant pipe on the left, there seemed to be bursts of strange sounds, like the sound of a kitchen knife chopping on a chopping board.

What Li Zhou said is not wrong.

If I have to choose, the one on the left has a higher survival rate.

Su Fangxiao had just made up his mind to go to the left when Li Zhou suddenly said slowly, "If you go to the left, your survival rate is about 40%."

Only 40%! ?

Su Fangxiao retracted his foot instantly.

Xia Meng nudged him unhappily: "Can you please stop panting when you talk? What about you? How confident are you that you can go?"

Li Zhou glanced at her and asked, "Do you want me to go?"

Xia Meng: "If it's dangerous, don't go."

Li Zhou thought for a moment and said, "If I go, it will probably be more than 90%."

Even he couldn't guarantee that everything would be fine.

Xia Meng: "Forget it. Let's just follow the rules here--"

Before he could finish his words, the delivery guy angrily threw his shovel down and cursed, "I can't stand this damn place for even a moment. What are you shoveling for? Shovel your grandma!"

It turned out that while they were whispering to each other, the delivery guy also joined the ranks of shoveling energy stones.

Having learned from the previous experience with the soldier, he was very careful this time.

He carefully scooped up a few blue energy stones and placed them on the conveyor belt on the left.

Perhaps due to his profession, he attaches great importance to efficiency.

He shoveled out several pieces in a row.

Maybe the shovel accidentally brought some debris of another color.

The blue energy stone fell into the small pipe on the left. The light just lit up, and then it made a "beep" sound, and the blue light dimmed again.

Just as it got dark, the second, third, and fourth energy stones fell down.

Then, the blue light began to flicker.

"beep--"

"beep--"

"beep--"

Error tones sounded one after another.

That unfortunate broadcast sounded like a death urge.

Junior worker Chen Zhenxing had one performance point deducted due to a mistake in classifying energy stones.

Junior worker Chen Zhenxing had one performance point deducted due to a mistake in classifying energy stones.

Junior worker Chen Zhenxing had one performance point deducted due to a mistake in classifying energy stones.

Junior worker Chen Zhenxing had one performance point deducted due to a mistake in classifying energy stones.

In the blink of an eye, he was deducted 4 points.

I don't know what the total score is.

All in all, the delivery guy, who already looked emotionally unstable, completely lost his temper.

"Fuck it! I'm almost out of time on my next order, who the hell has time to play house with you guys here?"

He threw the shovel to the ground viciously and strode straight towards the giant pipe mouth.

He grabbed the pipe wall with both hands, bent down and crawled in.

The pipe was hollow, so when he walked inside, his footsteps made muffled "dong," "dong," "dong" sounds.

Xia Meng wanted to go forward and check out the situation out of curiosity, but suddenly Li Zhou grabbed her arm and even pulled her two steps to the side.

Su Fangxiao also heard something at this time. Her ears moved and stood up like a dog to listen carefully.

Su Fangxiao: "It seems like another energy stone has rolled down."

She had just finished speaking when the delivery guy who had just walked into the tunnel let out a scream.

The energy stone collided with him, knocking him directly out of the pipe mouth.

The pipe mouth was facing the platform full of blades. He fell down and landed face down in the middle of the platform. Then the falling energy stone hit his back heavily, causing his entire front to come into close contact with the countless blades.

Li Zhou quickly pulled Xia Meng back two steps and even raised his hand to cover her eyes.

But Xia Meng was already used to seeing blood.

She raised her hand and took Li Zhou's hand away, then walked towards the delivery boy.

The blade that kept spinning back and forth had cut his entire face into a bloody mess, and the eerie white bones were exposed.

Luo Jiajia screamed and subconsciously hid behind Su Fangxiao.

After all, she is just a teenage girl. Even if she has accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge about infinite flow, she will still be scared when she sees such a scene.

The other men also turned their heads away involuntarily, not daring to look at such a bloody and disgusting scene.

Only Xia Meng stepped forward.

The blades on the platform have not stopped yet.

Xia Meng didn't dare to reach out her hand rashly. After hesitating for a moment, she turned her head and gave Li Zhou a look, indicating that he should help.

Li Zhou walked to her side spontaneously without her saying anything.

He turned the shovel upside down and used the wooden handle to pass through the man's armpit, to the delivery boy's back, and then through the other armpit.

Then he exerted a little force and lifted the delivery boy up.

At this time, Chen Zhenxing had completely fainted.

The front was covered in blood from head to toe, and his face was a mess.

Ou Xu couldn't help it either. The moment he saw it clearly, he immediately turned his head away and dry-heaved.

Even Su Fangxiao, who was used to seeing dead people, looked pale at this moment.

Among all the people present, only Li Zhou and Xia Meng's expressions did not change.

Xia Meng attended a reputable medical school and had dissected countless small animals. He had also seen even more disgusting scenes than this.

Five years of medical school had already helped her develop the ability to sit in the morgue and still eat without changing her expression.

Xia Meng gestured to Li Zhou to lay him on his back.

The person cannot be saved and only has one last breath left.

Xia Meng observed that the man's entire face had been completely ground flat, the front of his skull and mandible had been ground into pieces, several ribs in his chest had been ground out, and his heart was broken, bleeding profusely.

Unfortunately, with every beat, his vitality was lost along with his blood.

Xia Meng felt a little reluctant to watch.

"Chen Zhenxing." She repeated the name softly.

She had some impression of the name.

When Director Bai came to inform her, he mentioned that the car accident that caused the death of the A-level guide was caused by a bus crashing into the sidewalk in order to avoid a motorcycle that suddenly changed lanes.

The owner of the motorcycle is a delivery boy.

At that time, Xia Meng glanced at the information and didn't take it seriously. But when she thought about it again now, she suddenly could easily match the information to her situation.

Yes, isn’t that the delivery guy on the motorcycle this Chen Zhenxing?

It is said that he took the risk of overtaking in order to deliver the food in time.

As a result, a private car refused to give way and forced the delivery guy directly into the bus lane.

When the accident happened, he was directly trapped under the wheels of the bus and died on the spot.

Xia Meng sighed.

No wonder Chen Zhenxing always looks anxious and in a hurry even when he gets here.

Because he has been frozen in that state forever.

Even though he was dead, his mind was still full of the next takeaway order that had not yet been delivered.

And the alarm of the food delivery platform urging him all the time.

Who can tell who was the real culprit behind the tragedy?

…

Xia Meng reacted at this time.

Except for the four of them, the other people in front of them were basically those who died or were seriously injured and unconscious in the previous car accident.

They were also dragged into this strange "human factory".

Since this was the case, Xia Meng actually felt relieved.

Knowing that they were ordinary people, Xia Meng could send them out of here at any time by using her mental power.

However, the current situation is still unclear. If she rashly sends all the people out, will something unexpected happen in the workshop?

After observing just now, Xia Meng felt that as long as they did not do anything against the rules, their lives would not be in danger.

In that case, why not keep the others here for a while.

It won’t be too late to send them out together after we are sure that the four of them can escape safely.

Thinking of this, Xia Meng's attention returned to the dead Chen Zhenxing.

There's a dead body lying here, it's really creepy.

Xia Meng raised her hand and condensed a knife, which she stabbed directly into the still beating heart.

She did this quickly and discreetly.

The next second, Chen Zhenxing's entire body disappeared from everyone's sight.

The soldier took two steps forward in shock: "Where's the person? Why is the body gone? What did you do?"

Xia Meng turned her head innocently, looking even more shocked than him, and shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know, he just disappeared suddenly. Did this damn place take his body away?"

Everything here is hard to explain.

But everyone could only accept this explanation.

As soon as Chen Zhenxing left, the entire workshop became quiet again.

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, the soldier suggested: "Let's just do what they ask for now."

Ah Wu also said: "Yes, otherwise who knows what kind of punishment will be?"

Su Fangxiao also said at this time: "How about we all work together?"

The female tattoo artist named Ge Yue asked her, "How do we cooperate?"

Su Fangxiao said, "The announcement said that violations will be punished, and high performance will be rewarded. Maybe after we become official employees here, we can leave."

What you said makes sense and is well-founded.

Everyone can only accept this reality.

After Su Fangxiao finished speaking, he bent down, picked up the shovel that the delivery boy had thrown aside, and handed it to the barrister.

The barrister's face turned black and green, as if the death of the delivery boy was still constantly hanging in front of him.

If he took it, it felt like the shovel was full of ominousness and misfortune; if he didn't take it, he might be the next one to die from violating the rules.

As a last resort, he finally took it reluctantly and had to submit.

Under the shadow of death, everyone began to cooperate silently.

The men are responsible for shoveling the corresponding stones onto the conveyor belt, while the women are responsible for carefully picking the stones on the conveyor belt again.

With concerted efforts, the subsequent acceptance inspections were successfully passed.

The lights on the tubes lit up one after another.

After being busy for an unknown amount of time, the radio finally started again.

【It's time to get off work.】

[Calculating today's performance scores for everyone. ]

[Workshop 1's performance total is 126 points, and all junior workers share the performance points equally.]

Today's work has ended. All workers are requested to leave the factory in an orderly manner and return to the staff dormitory.

Xia Meng looked around.

No one's face showed the excitement of having survived the first day safely.

Perhaps because they witnessed Chen Zhenxing's tragic death, everyone's nerves were on edge.

…

A door opened in the wall.

Behind the door was a long staircase.

Everyone climbed up the stairs one after another, and soon they arrived at the gate where they had gathered early this morning.

It was time to get off work, and all the workers were leaving one after another.

Su Fangxiao asked: "Where is the staff dormitory?"

Ou Xu nodded at the others: "Just follow them and you'll find out."

We are all workers, so it’s not necessary to divide even the dormitories into different levels, right?

——And that’s exactly what happened.

They followed the main group for a distance and finally arrived at the staff dormitory.

It turned out to be a three-story sloped building.

The exterior walls of each floor are painted in corresponding colors.

The top layer is black, the second layer is red, and the first layer is yellow.

What about their white ones?

The soldier grabbed a worker with a yellow armband who was passing by.

The worker pointed to the ground and said, "Here, you live down there."

I saw that there was a semi-basement under the yellow floor, and the exterior walls were indeed white.

However, this half layer was too inconspicuous, and at first glance they thought it was the color of cement.

Xia Meng: “…”

Entry-level workers don’t have human rights, right?

There are not many rooms in the semi-basement, only about four.

Each room only has two beds and a simple table and chairs.

Everyone looked at each other and started to wonder who would be in the same room with whom.

The elite man was the first to jump out and say, "I live in a room by myself! I'm not used to sharing a room with others. I'm sorry, but please understand."

Ou Xuxin wondered why he couldn't hear how sorry this person was.

He shook his head and said nothing. He turned to look at Xia Meng and said, "The four of us will share a room?"

There are nine of them, so there must be at least one triple room.

In that case, it would be better for the four of them to stay in one room so that it would be more convenient for everyone to act together.

Su Fangxiao looked at Xia Meng, she had no objection.

When Alpha is on a mission, it is common for them to sleep under the sky and on the floor. It's nothing big for four people to squeeze into one room.

The only thing I'm worried about is that Xia Meng won't be used to it.

In the end, Xia Meng nodded more decisively than her: "I have no objection."

The remaining two rooms were easy to allocate.

Ge Yue and Luo Jiajia live in one room, and Awu and the young soldier live in another.

Xia Meng opened the door and entered their dormitory.

The dormitory is not spacious. After putting two beds and a set of tables and chairs, there is almost no space left.

The four people walked in and the door automatically locked with a click.

Su Fangxiao turned the door handle, but it didn't budge.

She: "I guess I can't go out until tomorrow morning."

There was an extra set of teapot and teacups on the table in the room.

The tea seemed to have just been brewed, with steam coming out of the spout.

Xia Meng remembered that the boy who showed them the way had said, "Dinner is already in your dormitory. You can see it when you enter the room."

So their dinner is just a cup of tea?

What kind of factory is this? They don't even have a proper dinner!

Is this how you exploit your employees?!

Ou Xu was very realistic: "Even if there is, can you really eat it?"

He couldn't help but think of the last time he went to that theater. He really couldn't eat a single bite of the meals he had there.

After those two days, he felt that his soul had become much thinner.

Xia Meng nodded and said as a matter of course: "I always enjoy eating and I am in good health."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to reach out and pick up the teapot and poured a little into the teacup.

She was stunned.

A stream of bright red liquid poured out of the spout of the pot, as red as Chen Zhenxing's blood.

Ou Xu subconsciously took a step back: "Ah!"

Li Zhou remained calm. He picked up the teacup and shook it against his nose. "It doesn't smell like blood, so it's probably not blood. It smells a bit like a nutrient supplement."

Ou Xu pinched his nose in disgust. "Even if it's like this, I won't drink it. Who in their right mind would make a nutritional supplement this color? Is it specially made for vampires? Anyway, I won't drink it."

Xia Meng calmly poured another glass.

Xia Meng looked at Su Fangxiao: "Do you want to drink?"

Su Fangxiao looked at Li Zhou and asked, "Are you sure it's a nutrient?"

Li Zhou nodded and drank it all in one gulp.

It’s indeed non-toxic.

The liquid slid down his throat, and soon he could feel a trace of heat rising from his limbs and bones, and his whole body was filled with a sense of power.

This does seem to be a nutrient with some energy benefits.

Seeing this, Su Fangxiao did not hesitate and picked up the glass that Xia Meng poured for her and drank it all in one gulp.

Xia Meng also poured herself a glass.

Ou Xu quickly changed his tone: "Hey, no, take me with you too."

Compared to falling behind, drinking a glass of fake blood doesn't seem so unacceptable.

After finishing dinner, Su Fangxiao rubbed his hands and said expectantly, "Then tonight, Xia Xia and I will share a bed?"

Just as Xia Meng was about to nod, she heard someone say, "No."

It was Li Zhou who said this.

The other three looked over in astonishment.

Ou Xu was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? You still want to sleep with her? Don't you know that there are differences between men and women?"

Li Zhou glanced at him and Su Fangxiao coldly and said calmly, "There are differences in the direction of the scouts. If they sleep together, who knows what she will do to Xia Meng?"

Ou Xu: “…”

Su Fangxiao: “…”

Xia Meng: “…”

Xia Meng tentatively asked Li Zhou, "What you mean by this...isn't it that you want me to sleep with Ou Xu?"

Isn’t that even more ridiculous!?

Su Fangxiao raised his hand and rubbed his nose.

To be honest, she did have this idea.

After being counseled by Xia Meng, her mind was often filled with memories of the wonderful time.

The pleasant scent of Xia Xia, the soft touch of Xia Xia's palm, and Xia Xia's beautiful profile that almost glows when she is so close.

She really wanted to try what it felt like to hold her in his arms!

I've never had such a thought before.

After yesterday's counseling, she became increasingly unable to control her obsession.

Li Zhou stared at Su Fangxiao's distracted expression indifferently.

In his opinion, perhaps Ou Xu is not as dangerous as Su Fangxiao.

Ou Xu angrily slammed the table: "...You are insulting me, do you know that? After all, I am a normal man!"

Li Zhou calmly replied, "So, tonight, the two of us will sleep sitting up, and the two ladies can just lie on the bed."

Ou Xu: "...Okay."

Su Fangxiao curled her lips, reluctantly.

Never mind, at worst she could wait until midnight and then secretly look for it—

The thought had just flashed through his mind when, the next second, Li Zhou's spirit body suddenly walked out of the void. As soon as the huge golden lion appeared, it took up most of the space in the room.

Li Zhou raised his eyebrows, and the golden lion made a "嘤" sound, and reluctantly shrank several times, turning back into the appearance of a cat.

Maomao stood on one of the beds, opened his mouth and roared like a lion at Su Fangxiao.

The voice was full of warning.

The warning from the S-level spirit body is not a joke.

Su Fangxiao shuddered on the spot and subconsciously got goosebumps all over his body.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Pei Ziling was so strong in normal times. His spiritual attacks and water-based dual abilities could evenly match her, but when he faced Li Zhou, he would be defeated in an instant and had no power to resist.

Ou Xu made two "tsk tsk" sounds and sighed.

Sentinels' possessiveness for high-matching guides is indeed no exception, even S-rank ones are not exempt.

Xia Meng will probably have a hard time in the future.

It's 80% for everyone, which means she has a fatal attraction to all the Sentinels—

It would be fine if she chose Li Zhou, at least the other sentinels would not dare to act rashly because of Li Zhou.

If she had chosen an ordinary sentinel, or even no sentinel... I really don't know what kind of situation she would face then.

Ou Xu couldn't help but worry about Xia Meng.

I really don't know why she has such a fantastic physique.

Xia Meng had no idea what Ou Xu was worried about.

When she saw Master Cat coming out again, she walked over in surprise and took it into her arms.

She patted the empty space beside the bed and called out, "Er Gou Er Gou! Call Er Gou!"

Her little ferret came as summoned, and as soon as it appeared, she also hugged it in her arms.

Xia Meng smiled and hugged the two of them together, treating them equally: "Today, let the two of my beloved concubines sleep with me together!"

Li Zhou curled his lips and smiled.

Ou Xu: “…”

Did you forget there are so many people in this room?

Woohoo... He also wants to pet the cat.

…

Time seems to flow very quickly in this world.

We had just finished lunch and it was already late at night.

Xia Meng and Su Fangxiao each slept in a bed.

Ou Xu put four chairs in a straight line and reluctantly fell asleep.

Li Zhou sat down directly in the corner, leaning against the wall.

Late at night, even breathing and snoring sounds could be heard from the surroundings, the adjacent rooms, and the rooms upstairs. He quietly opened his eyes in the darkness, and his grey pupils shone like a silver moon in the darkness.

He first glanced at Xia Meng lying on the bed.

His cat was holding the little ferret in his arms, while Xia Meng was hugging both little ones and sleeping soundly.

Li Zhou looked for a long time before reluctantly looking away.

The moment he turned his head, another identical cat emerged from the void and flew straight through the wall.

He decided to let his spirit body go out to explore the way under the cover of night, to find out what kind of factory the so-called human body factory was and where the seventeen sentries were.

As a result, the cat had only taken a few steps when it suddenly realized that something was following it.

When I turned around, I found that it was a little ferret.

In the room, Li Zhou turned around in surprise and saw Xia Meng yawning and sitting up from the bed. She said in a voice that was almost whispered, "I thought you weren't going to investigate tonight. You kept me waiting for so long."

It turned out that she already knew what he wanted to do.

Li Zhou slowly curved his eyes and smiled.
