Li Gangtie's words made everyone feel ashamed.
But none of them had any combat experience, and even if they trained very hard, they were still a little scared.
Shen Yanming was the only one in the group who had ever seen blood. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward to be the first to do so.
Qi Xili smiled when he saw this scene; he was quite pleased with such courage.
Shen Yanming picked out a large, fat pig that looked relatively docile, and took advantage of the pig's inattention to stab it.
Even the most docile pig can have its moments of rage, and this one charged headlong into Shen Yanming.
To prevent injuries to onlookers, the area was specially modified today. It was surrounded by stones more than a meter high, restricting the movement of both people and pigs.
The confined space was not conducive to Shen Yanming's performance at all. He dodged left and right, but was still nudged by the big fat pig several times.
That was really embarrassing, and it hurt a lot!
Although domestic pigs don't have long tusks, their weight of several hundred kilograms is no joke.
When I bumped into it, I felt my internal organs shaking.
It's just that Comrade Shen dodged in time and didn't run into him head-on, otherwise he might have needed someone else to rescue him.
He endured the pain and stabbed the pig several times, slowing its movements. It wasn't until after a dozen or so cuts that the pig finally collapsed to the ground.
Out of consideration for their old friendship, Ye Wengui didn't say anything harsh, but he kept muttering, "My little piggy, you died such a terrible death. Those despicable bastards, even if they were using you as practice, they couldn't have been a little quicker. You suffered more than a dozen cuts for nothing, it was such a torment!"
Shen Yanming... sat on the ground panting, deeply feeling that Ye Wengui was implying something about him.
He's just a pig killer, yet people are calling him immoral. Are they just picking on someone who's easy to bully?
Shen Yanming didn't have the energy to argue with him, so he got up after a while.
The others rushed over and asked, "Old Shen, does it hurt?" They could feel the pain just looking at him being nudged by the pig.
Shen Yanming said honestly, "It hurts a bit, but I dodged the force and it didn't break any bones, just bruises. You guys have to be careful when you go up later."
The crowd nodded, some with trepidation. But this wasn't something to be deterred by fear. Li Gangtie had worked so hard to get this opportunity; could he really let it slip away?
Of course not!
So Captain Li stopped being polite and started calling people up from the list.
Ye Wengui ordered his men to drive the large, fat pig to the "slaughterhouse," and then waited there.
I don't know if they're just pretending to feel sorry for me, or if they're genuinely just watching the show.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn to the struggle in the arena, Qi Xili came to Shen Yanming's side and asked him how he was feeling.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I think this is a technical job. Without long-term practice, you can't reach Captain Li's level at all. No wonder it takes several strong men to tie up a pig when slaughtering it in the countryside."
"Yes, the pigs can easily run away, and in a fit of rage, they can even break bones or seriously injure people. But our resources are limited here, so we can only let you try this once. The next time will have to wait until next year."
"Is it because we were too slow?" That's why the batch of fat pigs from before the New Year couldn't be used as experimental subjects?
Qi Xili nodded, "And they also ruined things." They're professionally trained; any one of them could slaughter someone in a matter of minutes. Like Li Gangtie just now, that was already using several-tenths of his strength.
Shen Yanming didn't reply, but he understood. It seemed he'd have to continue tormenting the fat pigs grazing on the grasslands once he got home.
The two were chatting when they heard a piercing scream that echoed through the sky.
Qi Xili darted forward and rushed into the makeshift pigpen. There he saw Li Gangtie subduing a large, irritating pig.
A guard lay on the ground groaning in pain. He covered his groin with both hands, causing the onlookers to unconsciously clench their legs.
Qi Xili quickly pulled the man up and took him out. Then, working in perfect harmony with Li Gangtie, they quickly took down the fat pig.
Ye Wengui had already ordered his men to summon medical personnel, and the person was immediately lifted onto a stretcher and taken to a tent in the corner for a brief examination.
After the pig collapsed, Li Gangtie stood to the side and roared, "How many times have I told you not to spread your legs? Don't spread your legs! You just wouldn't listen. No wonder the pig turned into a burrow! Its vision is limited. When you're slaughtering it, try to keep its legs together as much as possible, you hear me?"
Seeing everyone nod, Li Gangtie shouted, "Next!"
The onlookers shuddered, nearly wetting themselves in fright.
I thought things would end sooner after this accident, but I never expected Captain Li to be so ruthless!
Qi Xili suppressed a laugh and couldn't help but say, "Be careful, there's a bloody smell inside, the pigs will get agitated."
Only then did they regret not being the first or second. No wonder the pigs that came in after them seemed increasingly difficult to handle.
In reality, they were overthinking it.
People should look for the reasons within themselves. Their failure to slaughter the pig cleanly and efficiently was purely due to limited ability and poor technique.
Li Gangtie and Qi Xili were both veterans of bloody battles; dealing with these was child's play for them.
Even the weakest one, Shen Yanming, trains extra every day in the space and even spars with Bi Qiaoan. His training time is several times that of the others.
People like Ye Wengui are very self-aware. They keep their distance from creatures that are easily agitated.
Although he was in charge of the agricultural area, he was actually in charge of logistics.
Training continued, and those who tried to escape eventually got their hands dirty.
Preparing for this was no easy task, so the guard team gave these people a special day off so that they could learn to slaughter pigs in the agricultural area without any worries.
Although the requirements are a bit high, this is a critical moment. The planetary environment is becoming increasingly harsh, and we're afraid that if we delay, they will suffer in the future.
Shen Yanming watched intently as everyone slaughtered the pig, listening to Li Gangtie's comments and occasionally reflecting on his own actions. Qi Xili also offered quiet advice from the side.
Qi Xili was a big shot. He not only told Shen Yanming how to slaughter pigs, but also talked about how to slaughter sheep and cattle, and how to deal with wolves and tigers.
Shen Yanming listened with great admiration, feeling that the big shot's life experience was incredibly rich.
The atmosphere here was harmonious, but inside the other tent, a gloomy mood prevailed.
The man who was injured by the pig has recovered. After examination by doctors and nurses, he was found to have only suffered minor injuries, none of which were fatal.
The function is normal, so there's absolutely no need to worry about becoming a eunuch.
The man nodded, his face pale, still somewhat shaken. Although the outcome was the best-case scenario, he still felt an urge to kill himself.
It's one thing to be attacked by a pig, but so many people have been attacked by pigs. Why is it that he's the only one injured and carried away by onlookers?
It's true, it's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
He felt that he was socially dead.
