Wei Dong and Dong Dong's faces changed at the same time, Wei Dong murmured: "I don't really want to go to that kind of place..."

"I'll go." Ke Xun said, "Think first, then you go to the caretaker room, and I'll go to the slaughter room and the food processing room."

Mu Yiran finally glanced at him and said in a low voice, "We can only go when the wind is blowing during the day. At that time, there are no cows on the lawn, and no cows will notice our movements outside, but the important issue is that the cows It's probably all in the janitor's room, and we need to take a lot of risk to get in."

"So what do you mean?" Qin Ci asked.

"Let the cow out of the caretaker's room." Mu Yiran said, "I'll do this."

In view of the urgency of time, Muyi still divided the labor for tomorrow's action.

Qin Ci and Dong Dong were in charge of searching in the administrator's room, Ke Xun and Wei Dong were in charge of the slaughtering room, and Mu Yiran and Zhu Haowen were in charge of the food processing room.

After discussing the plans for tomorrow, everyone stayed in a corner and stopped talking.

Before tomorrow comes, we must first go through tonight's death selection. Maybe after tonight, tomorrow's three groups of people will lose one or even a few companions, and the plan will never keep up with the changes.

A few people inside the painting finished eating and drinking, and stayed in the corner of the cubicle honestly. No one dared to come forward to find fault with the people outside the painting like the few stunned young people yesterday. Only Mo Sun used it from time to time. Yin Yin's eyes looked at Mu Yiran, as if he was always seeking to counter usurp the throne.

Mu Yiran didn't look at him at all, just closed his eyes and rested, while Ke Xun stood in the corner and looked up.

These compartments, to put it bluntly, are like pigsties in a pig farm. Pigs are enclosed in a grid, surrounded on all sides, with roofs exposed, for pigmen to feed food from above.

This "human circle" is also surrounded on all sides, with brick walls on two sides, and the rear wall of the entire farmhouse on the other, up to the roof, with windows embedded in the walls and iron fences embedded in the windows. There is also an iron fence gate. The upper part of the door is also a brick wall, which is flush with the brick walls on both sides. On the lower part of the iron fence, there is a door wide enough to open and close for people to enter and exit.

Ke Xun observed around, walked to Mu Yiran's side, and lowered his voice: "I think this painting is not the same as the previous paintings, the previous paintings are ghosts and ghosts, and they all involve some 'fields'. ' or inhuman power, so we can't move around at night, there are always various situations that limit our movement, such as going out of the prescribed range and suffocating people or something. But this painting, I feel different."

Mu Yiran lowered his eyes, thinking while listening to him.

"In this painting, animals are the absolute masters, in other words, the 'human' species in this world. Since they are 'humans' and they choose us to die, doesn't that mean that , they are already the absolute power that has the right to choose in this painting? Above them, will there be no higher power to dominate our destiny?"

When Ke Xun finished speaking, Mu Yi raised his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"If they are 'humans' in this world, it means that they have only 'human' power and no divine power. Like us in the real world, for animals, the advantage is only in size, strength, height difference and intelligence," Ke said. Xun continued, "But after all, this is a painting created by humans and cannot be replaced absolutely, so we still have human wisdom here, we can still walk upright and free our hands, and we are here, and the gap with them is only limited by body size. Height and strength, without the presence of those indescribable forces, would prove that..."

Speaking of which, Ke Xun leaned into Mu Yiran's ear and said softly, "In this painting, as long as there are no restrictions on personal freedom, we can walk anywhere at night?"

Mu Yi's long and slightly curled eyelashes fluttered under Ke Xun's eyes. Ke Xun sat up straight and moved a few inches to the side.

Mu Yiran didn't pay attention to his small movements, just moved his eyes to scan the compartment, and finally landed on the angle between the two walls.

"You can give it a try." He responded.

Ke Xun smiled, scratched his nose with his fingertips, and added a few words in a low voice: "Actually, I think that the places 'that you can't go to, but may actually be possible' mentioned earlier, except for the administrator's room, A slaughter room and a food processing room, and one more."

Mu Yiran finally moved his gaze to his face.

The distance between the two is still a little close, so that suddenly they look at each other, and everything on each other's faces is clearly presented in each other's eyes.

The eyes met a little suddenly, Mu Yiran seemed to have lost his guard and turned his head quickly.

Ke Xun also turned his head away, took a deep breath silently, and then said, "Beyond the farm. Maybe we can go outside the farm, as long as we find a way to get out."

"You're right." Mu Yiran said calmly.

Then the two stopped talking and sat silently side by side.

Oddly and fortunately, until the giant bulls came to wash the stalls and packed up and left the farmhouse, no bulls came to pick whom to kill.

"What's the situation? Do you really want to vote tomorrow?" Wei Dong approached in surprise and asked in a low voice.

Ke Xun also couldn't understand. To vote, all the surviving outsiders need to vote together, but the male and female farmhouses are separated. Could there be a special section to lock everyone together before voting

Mu Yi thought for a while, and asked Xiang Ke Xun, "Among the five women outside the painting, are there any older ones?"

Ke Xun scratched his head: "I didn't look closely, I turned my back to them the whole time, you let me think about it."

Mu Yiran stopped talking and waited silently until Ke Xun spoke again: "Yes, I recalled their voices, and one of them sounded like he was forty or fifty years old."

Mu Yi paused and said in a deep voice, "Then maybe it's not that the giant bulls didn't choose death tonight, but they just didn't choose on the men's dormitory."

"You mean... they chose a woman?" Wei Dong was a little scared and a little sighed.

"And it's most likely the eldest sister in her 40s and 50s," Ke Xun understood what Mu Yiran meant, "Young females stay to breed and breed, and older females are no longer worth raising. It's not good either. No matter how much they give birth, they can’t wait until they are so old that they can’t chew the meat, so when they are forty or fifty years old… slaughtering is already the limit they can wait.”

The crowd fell silent for a while.

After being silent, I had to say that I was a little more relaxed, at least I knew that I saved my life tonight.

It was midnight, and the whole farmhouse was quiet. Except for the snoring one after another, no one could be heard talking. Several of the inmates in the same house had already fallen asleep, and even Weidong Zhu Haowen had already fallen asleep. She started to close her eyes and doze off, but Mu Yiran stood up silently at this moment.

Ke Xun, who was always watching him, also stood up and asked him in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Yiran also lowered his voice and pointed to the angle between the two walls: "I have practiced rock climbing, and I want to try to climb up from here, and look outside to have a look."

"I'm with you." Ke Xun said without hesitation.

Mu Yi Ran glanced at him: "Don't be too arrogant, this wall is too high, if you haven't practiced specially, one is afraid of losing your hand, and the other is that you will lose your strength in the future. Falling down is not a joke."

Ke Xun smiled: "Don't underestimate me, when I was in school, I dared to be the second in the whole department, and no one dared to be the first. After graduation, I have not stopped exercising until now. You don't have to worry about me if you have physical problems. , then it depends on you, you are in the front, I am in the back, I will pick up wherever you go, as long as you don't miss, I won't miss."

Mu Yiran didn't say more, he knew that Ke Xun would not compromise on this kind of matter, and he would not rest assured to let him take the risk alone.

He took him to the corner, and gave him a quick popularization of rock climbing skills in a low voice, and then he realized that Ke Xun is indeed a sports student, and he really has an extraordinary talent for sports. He only knows these skills. After a little talk, he can immediately understand and understand, and even draw inferences from one case.

After the explanation, he reminded him of some precautions. Mu Yiran woke up Qin Ci who was confused, told him his plan in a low voice, and asked Qin Ci to help him keep an eye on it - mainly staring at the people in the painting, If someone wakes up and finds that he and Ke Xun are not in the cubicle, it will be a big deal if they shout and attract the giant bull.

Mu Yiran asked Qin Ci to act on a whim, but it really couldn't be done, so he stunned him with a knife.

Qin Ci was speechless for a while.

Even if he is a doctor, he wouldn't dare to do it lightly. He is not as bold as Ke Xun, and if he doesn't hack well, he can kill people. He is a doctor, a person who saves people, not a murderer. He also understood the importance of this matter. If he didn't do it, they would be the ones who would die, so he agreed.

When Mu Yiran was about to start rock climbing, Ke Xun regretted it.

He had to watch him climb up, to know where his hands and feet were.

But when he looked up and saw the scene in his eyes, his whole body was in a mess all of a sudden, this is so... it's just... ah...

At this time, Ke Xun sincerely admired Mu Yiran.

This person really can be upright and poised in any situation and in any situation.

Ke Xun silently sang the national anthem several times in his heart, and then climbed up with a solemn face.

Mu Yiran didn't climb very fast. In order to take care of Ke Xun's speed, he would stop and look down from time to time to judge whether he still had the ability to keep up.

Obviously, Ke Xun was extremely reassuring in this regard. When he reached half the height, Mu Yiran saw that his fingers between the bricks were still stable as before, so he couldn't help but feel relieved and continued to climb up.

It took the two of them more than 20 minutes to finally climb to the top of the high wall. Standing on the top of the wall and looking around, the whole farmhouse was in front of them. The tall and spacious houses were divided into two rows. There are also huge brooms, tables and chairs placed in the corner of the house, there is a strange feeling of coming to the giant country.

The two looked carefully by the moonlight outside the window, and Ke Xun found a way out first, and pointed to the wall close to the roof - there was a vent there, enough for a human figure to get out!
