Chapter 25 They Became Like Big Balloons Filled with Air
After the man left, Xu He and Lu Bubu walked into the room.
"Young man, who is that man? He seems to know you?" Lu Bubu asked Xie Liang.
"The NPC from the previous instance."
"Then why is he here? He's also an NPC in this dungeon? But shouldn't NPCs be like robots? He doesn't look like one."
Xie Liang frowned and thought deeply for a moment: "I don't know either. Could he be an NPC who escaped from the dungeon? Before he left, he said that this dungeon was rejecting him."
Lu Bubu looked at the small cloth bag he was holding and asked, "Never mind all that, what did he give you?"
"Some wild fruits." Xie Liang said as he poured the wild fruits in the cloth bag onto the low table beside him.
Lu Bubu picked up a small apple and took a bite. "Not bad, sweet and sour. I don't know where he got it."
After a while, the fruits on the table were shared by the three of them. Most of them were eaten by Xie Liang and Lu Bubu, and Xu He only tasted one.
Lu Bubu wiped his mouth and said, "I've been busy for so long, but I still have no idea about the main mission."
"We still have to find that big truck and take a look. I think it must be related to the mission." Xie Liang said.
"The car should go back now, so we can only go back tomorrow." Lu Bubu said.
"Well, let's see if there are any clues in this house first." Xie Liang said.
When they were investigating the house, they found the body of a white tiger lying on the floor of a room.
The dead white tiger was slightly smaller than the pig monster, with limbs similar to those of a human, but otherwise no different from an ordinary tiger. Apart from this, they found no other valuable clues.
However, they found that the dead white tiger was the only one living in the house, so it could be used as a temporary place for them to stay.
"By the way, we have to go back to the farm we escaped from earlier. Let our cousin hide here first, otherwise we're worried that he'll die in two days."
Xie Liang still wasn't used to the way he always pronounced "I" as "zan azan" when speaking, which sounded like a northern accent.
"Let's go together, so we can look after each other." Xie Liang said.
It was already dark, and the road was deserted and quiet, with only the three of them walking on it. By the time they reached their destination, it was already late at night.
It was a three-story farm with a closed gate and surrounded by high, sturdy fences.
They climbed up the fence to the windowsill on the second floor of the farm. The window on the windowsill was open. Xie Liang took out the flashlight he had brought with him and climbed in behind Lu Bubu.
As soon as he entered, Xie Liang was stunned by the scene before him.
In the light of the flashlight, you can see that on both sides of the spacious aisle are large iron cages of equal size, each of which contains a fat woman with a protruding belly. They are lying on the hay in the cage with their heads tilted back and sleeping, just like pregnant women who are about to give birth.
When the dazzling beams of light shone through some of the cages, some women woke up. Some of them curled up, holding their bulging stomachs, some turned sideways and continued to sleep, and some stared at them with dull eyes.
The women neither struggled nor called for help, behaving like awakened livestock.
"Why do they all act like idiots?" Lu Bubu whispered.
Xie Liang exhaled: "This place looks like a 'breeding plant' for humans."
They opened the iron cages one by one, but they did not escape. It was obvious that these indigenous people had been domesticated.
"Forget it, they can no longer live independently. This is how the world is set up," said Lu Bubu.
"Well, let's go find your cousin." Xie Liang said.
The corridor of this factory is very long. After passing through the "breeding area", you will arrive at a place similar to a brooding room, which is only separated by a door.
The temperature in the brooding room is just right, and the aisles are lined with rusty iron racks with brooding cages placed on them.
The cages contained young babies. Some of them were asleep, some were babbling and playing with their fingers, and some had their eyes wide open, curiously following the light from the flashlight.
Each brooding cage was covered with mottled stains, and at the bottom was an iron bucket filled with baby excrement, which emitted a strong smell of urine.
Lu Bubu said uncomfortably, "I can't bear to watch this anymore. I feel uncomfortable. Let's go quickly."
Xie Liang nodded and looked away, forcing himself to turn around and walk forward. There was a corner of stairs in front of them, and they walked up the stairs to the third floor.
On the third floor was a separate iron-barred room where a group of plump women were imprisoned. Each of them looked to weigh around 200 kilograms.
Lu Bubu looked at the woman in the iron cage and whispered, "All the people imprisoned here are women too. What's going on?"
Xie Liang suppressed the words that were about to curse this copy and responded in a low voice: "Same as the woman downstairs, maybe the difference is that she hasn't conceived yet."
Just as they were about to leave, a smaller woman in a corner of the fence grabbed the iron gate and shook it hard, seeming to be shouting something.
"Wait, this woman looks familiar, she seems to be one of our Adventers!" Lu Bubu hurriedly walked to the iron gate with a flashlight to confirm.
The woman was dressed in rags, and her arms were covered with purple scars of various shapes, obviously having suffered inhumane violations.
After she recognized Lu Bubu, she immediately burst into tears: "Brother Bu... wuwu... Li Xiuping and the others are all dead, they were raped to death by those beasts... wuwu..." The woman's voice was hoarse and sounded weak.
Lü Bubu also recognized her, the woman named Mu Jin. Although she was a newcomer, she behaved very calmly during her stay, so Lü Bubu had an impression of her.
"Mujin, don't be afraid. This is not real. As long as we can go back alive, everything we experience here is just a dream." Lu Bubu said as he used both hands to break the chain hanging on the fence gate.
Xie Liang walked towards the fence compartments on both sides with a flashlight. After checking them, he walked back.
"Help her out first, there are no other descenders here." Xie Liang said.
Seeing Mu Jin naked, Xie Liang took off his fur cloak and handed it to her: "It's cold at night, put it on." After Mu Jin took the cloak, she looked at him gratefully, with tears in her eyes.
"Do you know how many Adventers like us there are in this farm?" Xie Liang asked.
"I... I'm not sure. When I was driven out to the grass to bask in the sun, I only saw three or four Adventers..."
"Well, let's get out of here first."
Xie Liang walked in front with a flashlight, Xu He walked beside him, and Lu Bubu followed behind holding Mu Jin.
They walked up the stairs to the first floor. The layout of the first floor was almost the same as that of the third floor. There were iron-barred compartments on both sides of the aisle, and four or five fat men were locked in each compartment.
Following the light of the flashlight, it can be seen that this place is divided into two areas: each of the near compartments contains four or five fat men, each weighing about two hundred pounds; while each of the far compartments contains only two fat men, but they are obviously fatter, each weighing about three or four hundred pounds, and their size is almost at the level of being "slaughtered".
"Hurry up and find your cousin." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu and Mu Jin were responsible for finding the compartments on the right side of the aisle, while Xie Liang and Xu He were responsible for finding the compartments on the left side of the aisle. They carefully searched each compartment with flashlights.
After searching the nearby compartments, they didn't find a single Adventer, and then found an area where only two people were locked up in each compartment.
After searching the area for a while, Lu Bubu found his cousin Li Ruohan in a cubicle - he was lying on a haystack, snoring loudly.
"Wake up, you little bastard!" Lu Bubu kicked him roughly twice, "Hey! Wake up! You're still sleeping when you're about to die, you bastard!" Seeing that the man didn't wake up after being kicked several times, Lu Bubu bent down and slapped him twice in the face.
After being slapped, Li Ruohan woke up with a dazed look on his face. After seeing Lu Bubu clearly, he excitedly shouted: "Cousin! You finally came to save me! If you hadn't come, I would have been finished!"
Lu Bubu glanced at his chubby body and said, "It seems we're done. Can you still walk when you're this fat?"
"Cousin, you don't know that if you don't eat the slop, the pig monsters will cut you into pieces with an electric saw... and then they will hang the body parts of those people on the fence to dry like bacon. I was scared to death..." After saying this, Li Ruohan looked like he was about to cry.
"Okay, stop crying again. You're like a woman all day long. Get up quickly and go out first!" Lu Bubu helped him up from the haystack.
After Li Ruohan stood up and saw Mu Jin, he said in a tearful voice, "Sister Mu Jin, I'm sorry. Yesterday I... I failed to save you." As he spoke, he actually sobbed.
Mu Jin shook her head and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do what they did... to violate... me... I have already..." She didn't say the rest.
After finding Li Ruohan, they went to the compartment in front to see if there were any other descenders.
Later, they found two more Adventers in the remaining compartment: a man named Wen Meng with a blue dragon tattooed on his arm, the dragon bloated beyond its shape due to obesity; and another man named Fan Ze. Like Li Ruohan, they were both as fat as inflated balloons.
Looking at the fat that trembled as they walked, Lu Bubu couldn't help but say, "That's incredible! How much did you eat? If we don't come back tonight, you'll all be slaughtered after tomorrow!"
Li Ruohan said aggrievedly: "I don't want to eat it either, but once I start, I can't stop..."
Wen Meng nodded in agreement: "That's right, after taking the first bite, I couldn't control myself at all, it was like I was addicted."
"At first we would rather starve to death than eat it, but if we didn't eat it, the pig monster would cut us into pieces with an electric saw. We didn't want to die, so we had no choice but to eat it. After eating it, we found that the porridge was really delicious..." The man named Fan Ze licked the corner of his mouth as he spoke, and his expression seemed as if he was savoring the delicious taste of slop.
Seeing his expression, Wen Meng raised his chubby arm with great effort and patted his shoulder.
It was only when Wen Meng slapped him that Fan Ze came back to his senses. He looked at his swollen body and slapped himself lightly in frustration.
