Chapter 111 Outrageous
After Liu Da and the others left, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan did not stay any longer and left the house quietly.
However, they were not in a hurry to go back. Instead, they went to the courtyard where smoke was rising.
Qiao Yu was very confused by the dried meat that Liu Da stuffed into them. She wanted to find out what kind of meat it was.
Jiang Zhan, holding Qiao Yu, landed on another rooftop. In the house across from them, a dozen middle-aged women were frying and boiling meat in the large iron pans common in rural areas before the apocalypse. In the yard, several fires were sizzling with meat roasting.
They placed the meat neatly on a plate, then carried it on a tray to the man waiting outside the yard.
The men took the plates and quickly headed back to the other houses.
This behavior is very similar to the food delivery at the Situlanya Restaurant before the end of the world.
Qiao Yu smelled the meaty aroma lingering around the courtyard and felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.
The aroma is very strange.
It's a bit like beef and a bit like chicken.
While Qiao Yu was thinking, he saw two middle-aged women dragging a large woven bag, going out of the back door of the yard and walking towards a mutant forest behind.
Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu looked at each other and followed silently.
The two women dragged the bag expressionlessly, each holding a corner, their movements skillful and quick, as if they had done this job frequently and were already accustomed to it.
They walked to the edge of the woods, hung the woven bag upside down under a tree, and shook it continuously.
The contents of the woven bag quickly slipped out.
——It is a bone with the meat removed.
After the two women piled all the bones under the tree, they put away the bags and returned the same way they came.
But Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu looked at the pile of bones for a long time without moving.
Qiao Yu's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.
She studied medicine.
Although most of the bones had been chopped into pieces, only a few bones were still relatively intact.
But Qiao Yu could tell at a glance that those long white bones piled under the tree were human femurs and tibias!
So the meat just now... was actually human flesh!
Only then did Qiao Yu finally remember why she felt the smell of meat was so familiar.
Because in her previous life, she had passed by a logging mill on her way to the survivor base in City B. The survivors living there often traded their children for food because they had no food.
The smell of those children's meat being roasted was exactly the same as what she had just smelled!
On the way back, Qiao Yu was unusually silent.
She finally understood the men in the village who gritted their teeth and persisted in working even with blood on their hands.
Because they know that if they don't work, they will be the ones served at the dinner table tomorrow.
Qiao Yu understood the principle of the survival of the fittest.
The evil deeds committed in Nanliu Village are simply outrageous.
She is not as great as Dr. Yu and does not have any sense of mission to save the people of the world.
But she must personally eradicate this cancer of Nanliu Village.
If you want to blame someone, just blame these beasts for being so blind that they chose to target them.

After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan returned, they told Cheng Sinian and the other two everything they had just seen and heard.
"These bastards!"
After hearing this, Yu Qingchuan's usually gentle face turned so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping out of it.
Cannibalism and imprisonment.
Luo Zhenzhen clenched her hands tightly.
The current situation of those girls is so similar to that of her and her sister!
It would be fine if they were like Fang Lin, Wei Sisi and Pan Yu, who voluntarily stayed in order to survive.
But the iron fence and the guarded house are obviously designed to trap those souls who yearn for freedom.
Cheng Sinian sensed Luo Zhenzhen's sadness, reached out and held her clenched fist, gently opened her palm and clasped his fingers with hers, silently comforting her.
Yu Qingchuan looked at Qiao Yu, "What should we do?"
Qiao Yu didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Did you notice anything when you went to park the car?"
Yu Qingchuan thought for a moment and nodded. "That's indeed a concentrated parking area. There are a lot of cars there, of all kinds. But there's one thing that's strange. Judging from the tire tracks on the ground, it doesn't seem like all the cars there are parked permanently. It seems like some cars are coming in and out frequently."
"Oh?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Frequent in and out. That means those cars aren't all owned by the victims who were lured in...
Imprisoned women, men delivering meals and men being forced to work as "spare food", advanced technology and resources from large bases, and vehicles frequently coming in and out...
A bold guess suddenly came to Qiao Yu's mind.
"A den of brothel." Before Qiao Yu could finish his words, Jiang Zhan calmly said these three words first.
"Golden den?" Yu Qingchuan repeated these three words softly, "You mean, those in the center circle are all guests here?"
"That's right." Qiao Yu nodded.
A den of money with a strong background that provides services and "food" to the "upper class" who can afford it.
Cheng Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and pressed his tongue against his teeth. "They're treating us like commodities with a fixed price."
"That depends on whether they have the ability to do so." Qiao Yu sneered, "They plan to welcome the 'distinguished guest' the day after tomorrow, which means they must succeed by tomorrow at the latest."
Cheng Sinian heard the deep meaning in Qiao Yu's words and raised his eyebrows, "Do you think they will attack us tonight?"
Qiao Yu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "No. They haven't figured out our details yet, so I guess they won't take direct action tonight, but they will definitely try every possible way to test us."
"But... just because they won't attack us doesn't mean they won't do anything. They're very afraid of the King Bomb, so they'll definitely try to get rid of it before they attack us."
Yu Qingchuan heard this, and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. "Then do you know what kind of medicine they are going to use on Wang Zha?"
Qiao Yu shook his head with a sullen face, "We haven't seen the medicine they're talking about."
"So what we need to do is to give them some false information and then strike first before they can make a move on the king bomb."
Yu Qingchuan was worried about exactly what Qiao Yu was worried about. They didn't know what the effect of the "medicine" was, so she definitely wouldn't let Wang Zha take that risk.
"Also, there are a lot of people in the village. Aside from the village managers and those 'guests', we're not sure where everyone else stands, so the safest thing to do is to find a way to take them all down."
Qiao Yu took out the anesthetic gun and several boxes of anesthetic injections that she had looted in the "Night Road" before the end of the world from the space and placed them on the kang.
Although the men who were forced to work looked pitiful, there was no guarantee that someone would betray them and destroy their plans for some "benefits". So, just in case, they had to endure it temporarily.
"These are tranquilizer guns and needles. When the real action begins, as long as they aren't accomplices, we'll spare their lives."
