When Lin Qiao got out of the car with the seven kittens, everyone mechanically turned their heads to stare at them, as if they had seen the freshest prey.
No one spoke; the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Actually, Lin Qiao didn't want to get out of the car with the kittens.
However, the car was already badly damaged during the dragging process by the vines, and the fuel tank was leaking. She was worried that the car would explode in a little while.
Staying in the car any longer is even less safe.
Left with no other choice, Lin Qiao had to bring the babies down.
An old woman, and seven frail-looking kittens.
It looks like it's being treated as food.
Unfortunately, cat meat doesn't taste good; it's dry, skinny, and has very little fat.
The old woman was also as thin as a bamboo pole. Although she looked alright, the years of domestic violence had prevented her from gaining weight even though her life had improved.
So now, in the eyes of that group of people, Lin Qiao is no longer of any interest.
One of the men muttered, "I thought it was someone important, but it turns out it's just an old man and an animal."
"This is boring... Can't we have some tasty animals, like chickens, ducks, fish, or pigs?" someone murmured.
A gaunt woman, her face ashen, cried out, "My child has been taken away... my child..."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Suddenly, a loud male voice rang out. The next moment, everyone present retreated frantically like frightened piglets, as if they were afraid that the man would see them and then grab them.
Seeing this, Lin Qiao immediately led her kittens to squeeze into the crowd.
But they were so scared that Lin Qiao couldn't squeeze in at all and could only barely protect the kittens behind her.
What exactly is this place, and what are these people afraid of?
Lin Qiao didn't know that; all she knew was that following the crowd's actions was the right thing to do.
Before long, the muscular man appeared.
He randomly picked a plump-looking woman and a tall man inside and dragged them away.
The tall man ran away like a madman, but was knocked unconscious by a punch from the muscular man.
The woman, who was still a bit overweight, knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, "Please! Please don't take me away! I want to live a few more days, waaaaah!"
The muscular man said indifferently, "It's hungry."
"Come with me! Otherwise, you'll end up like that man!" the muscular man said coldly.
The woman was so terrified that she fled frantically.
Just like that man, he was beaten unconscious.
The muscular man looked different from everyone else present.
He was energetic and not thin; on the contrary, he looked very strong.
They're obviously one of that vine monster's henchmen.
When he knocked those two people unconscious, it was like he pulled two fish out of a fishpond, then stunned them with a hammer and took them away.
Lin Qiao got goosebumps all over her body.
That muscular guy might be easy to deal with, but the vine monster is much harder to handle!
The speed at which they moved was so fast that she and the kitten didn't even have time to react.
Now that they've been dragged here, it's clear they're all part of the vines' food reserves.
It must be said that the vines were quite clever.
Knowing to stock up means you won't run out of food in the future.
Two more people were taken away, and everyone fell silent.
Some people couldn't help but cry, while others closed their eyes in despair, seemingly feigning sleep.
They thought the muscular man wouldn't come back, but to their surprise, he actually did!
They also took some young men and women with them.
This time, however, they weren't knocked unconscious and taken away; they were simply ordered to come over.
Lin Qiao found it strange, so she asked a woman who seemed easy to talk to, "Why were they taken away? Won't they be eaten?"
The woman shook her head, smiled wryly, and pointed to her stomach.
"No," the woman said, her voice trembling with disbelief.
Lin Qiao's eyes widened. "Huh? Then why take them away?"
The woman said, "You're new here, aren't you?"
"It's a good thing you're old and infertile, otherwise you would have become a breeding machine too."
The woman murmured softly.
Lin Qiao shivered, and goosebumps rose on her arms.
breeding.
That's right, the vines are controlling humans to "mating"!
Then it breeds more humans to serve as its food...
