Chapter 38: 17. Cooperation

Views:

Before the voice fell, I suddenly heard a "bang" not far away, and the door opened.

Just when everyone was stunned, they saw a group of soldiers with guns coming from the end of the corner, all wearing spacesuits, holding guns in their hands, pointing at us, and approaching step by step.

"what-"

Someone in the crowd yelled, which seemed to remind everyone that everyone ran backwards like crazy, but did not run two steps, only heard two "pops".

"Don't move, don't move!" The officer behind shouted loudly: "Whoever moves again, shoot whoever, raise his hand!" As he said, with a gunshot, someone fell to the ground.

This time the scene finally calmed down, everyone raised their hands and stopped.

"Come here, squat down, squat down." The soldier walked over, surrounded and dragged the crowd, and finally put everyone on the ground—including me.

Looking at the gun, I squatted on the ground with my head in my arms, listening to the officer in front of me asking: "How many are left?"

"Nineteen, sir, oh no, a woman ran back, one dead, or eighteen."

"Well, someone is here today, I need an extra meal." The chief said the horrifying words in a nonchalant tone.

"Yes, sir, then five."

"Ok."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shudder. To be honest, if I were shot, maybe I didn't have such a creepy feeling, but this... But cannibalism, you have to be made into food and eaten by others!

This feeling is terrible, so whenever a soldier pulls up a person, that person will rip frantically, begging for mercy, and some will be frightened, leaving nothing but arrangements. Finally, they have chosen among the crowd. Five, the crowd of *** finally calmed down, everyone was a little frightened, bowed their heads, closed their eyes, and waited for the door at the end of the corridor to "click" closed, then let go.

"Wow-"

Li Li finally couldn't help being frightened and burst into tears. She didn't know whether she was fortunate enough to live after the disaster or was desperate for this endless life.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, Ali." Na Ying sister seemed to be a little used to it, with a numb sneer at the corner of her mouth, her eyes flashed a little when she saw everyone's silly expressions. Sarcastically, he turned his head and glanced at me, then turned to comfort Li Li: "Okay, okay, it’s okay, they caught five people as food, no matter what, it’s enough to eat for a while, maybe we can live a little longer. day."

"Sister Ying."

Suddenly, a thin young man in the corner tremblingly asked, "Do you know how they... how they cannibalize? Is that... how to slaughter?"

"Okay, why do you ask this?" Li Kai on the side suddenly reprimanded: "Scare yourself."

This is right, but everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Sister Ying. Sister Ying looked around. Seeing everyone looking at her, she opened her mouth and said softly: "I know.";

"you know?"

Li Li collapsed just now, and now he is recovering a little bit. She seems a little embarrassed, and asks hoarsely while wiping tears.

"Yes." A grin appeared from the corner of Ying's mouth: "They caught us in an above-ground laboratory, which was completely enclosed, like... like in a spaceship, wearing white lab coats everywhere. Some of the people are doing experiments, some are doctors who conduct physical examinations on us, some... are cooks, because the room is transparent, I can see what they are doing..."

Having said that, she paused, watching the crowd didn't seem to interrupt her, licked her dry lips and continued: "Because there is no food, everyone who is treated as food is like a pig being slaughtered. He took off his clothes, boiled it in a huge boiling pool, washed it, and then dissected it, and cut all the meat..."

"Wait." When Li Li heard this, she seemed to be unable to bear it, and made a disgusting expression: "What does it mean to boil in boiling water? Is it a living person? I don't believe it."

"It's a living person." Sister Ying's eyes widened, with a silly smile at the corner of her mouth: "It's a living person, because it is treated as food, in fact, the food is almost the same, so I don't care how the other party struggles and yells."

"what-";

Li Li couldn't help screaming again. The sharp screams echoed in this damp and cold dungeon. However, at this moment, no one stopped her, because everyone screamed, because everyone wanted To experience the torture like Sister Ying said, it's not as good as... dead!

"It might as well die!"

Li Kai suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and looked at the crowd and said, "You are right, it is better to die than to be treated as stored food!"

"Yes, I agree." The thin boy next to him stood up, raised his hand and said, "I agree, it's better to die."

These words seemed to ignite the fear in everyone's hearts, and everyone nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's better to die, it's better to die."

"Do you mean to commit suicide?" Li Li asked hesitantly.

Li Kai hey, suddenly clenched his fist, strode towards the end of the corridor, everyone looked at each other, Li Li looked at me and asked, "What is he doing?"

I pondered and stood up and said, "He might be going to block that door."

These words seemed to remind everyone that they all stood up one after another as if they had seen the vitality.

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that as long as that door is blocked, they won't be able to get in."

"Yes, that is, no matter how powerful they are, as long as we can block the door, we can't make their food.";

"Yes, yes."

Everyone stood up and walked towards the corridor one after another.

At this moment, Li Kai had come to the end, turning the corner, and that was the door, which was an iron door, locked from the outside, leaving a gap for light to penetrate inside.

Li Kai heard the sound, looked back, saw that it was me, couldn't help smiling, and pointed to the door and said, "How to block it?"

"Don't forget, the other party has guns and cannons." The people behind also came over at this time and said one after another.

"Yes, that is, if we are not blocked properly and they break in, I'm afraid we will all be killed."

"That's better than being cooked alive."

Everyone said one after another.

"You say, Yu Kai." Li Kai said when he saw me thinking.

I looked up at the door, thinking that the opponent had a strong horse, and then looked sideways at the collapsed rocks here. After thinking about it, I lowered my voice and said, "The opponent has guns and cannons, even if we block them, they have a way. Open it, so it’s better to scare them away.";

"Scared back?"

Everyone asked.

"Yes, scared back."

I made a gesture and pointed to the rubble next to me and said, "Dig stones, dig up all these stones, and pile them outside the door. When they opened the door, they killed a few with rubble. They were terrified. Surely it won't come."

"Can it work?"

Some people questioned.

"No way, what can I do?" Li Kai rolled his eyes at the man.

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to do what they said. Everyone ran over and started to make stones, pile stones, and some went to transport stones inside. I learned some principles of construction technology and stood. In front of the door, they personally instructed them how to stack the stones. When the people outside the door came over, it was not themselves, but the other party who hit them. As they were talking, suddenly, the thin young man rushed over from the inside, panting, face. With joy, he said: "I... I found water!"

"what?"

When these words are spoken, everyone hardly believes in their ears. You must know that people are the most unbearable to tolerate thirst. The reason why they can bear it now, and no one collapses, is because a more terrible thing is in front of them, so thirst. The pain seems to be suppressed.

"Really?" Li Kai held the boy's shoulder, his voice trembling.

"Come, come." The young man turned his head and pointed outside and said: "Come and take a look."

"Go." Li Kai grabbed the boy's hand and said, "Quickly, take us to take a look."

Everyone was thirsty for a long time. When they heard this, they didn't care about anything, threw down the stone in their hands, and followed the boy to the corridor. When I walked to the corner of the corridor, the boy pointed to a room and said, "Inside, inside."

Li Kai pushed the boy away and walked in. He saw that the room was very small and looked like a cell, but there was no one. There was a cave like a cave on the left side of the wall.

"Where is the water?" Li Kai asked sharply, in a bad tone.

"The entrance of the cave, there is in the cave." The young man took a step backwards frightened by Li Kai's tone, pointed at the cave, stammered.

Li Kai glared at the boy and got into the hole. Because the hole was so small, only one person could bend in. Therefore, everyone could only stand and wait, but saw that Li Kai did not go in, but just bent over. He got in for a long while, and suddenly pulled back, dripping with water on his face, with a bit of satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is water, but it's seldom. It's a kind of sucking. Don't drink it."

"Okay—"

Everyone cheered and squeezed towards the opening in front.

"Hold on." Seeing everyone going in from inside, Li Kai hurriedly scolded: "Line up, everyone has it, hurry up, line up."

The phrase "everyone has something to drink" seemed to comfort everyone's eagerness. Soon everyone lined up. Because I didn't follow the rush, I was at the end. Li Kai was the leader of the team at this time. During the inspection, I saw I stood at the end, suddenly smiled, patted my shoulder and said: "Okay, brother, you are really selfless."

I smiled bitterly.

"But have you thought about one thing?" Li Kai suddenly lowered his voice.

"What?" I blinked. "

Li Kai refused to say it. He looked up and saw Li Li in front of him standing in line. He took me to the door and asked in a low voice, "The water is gone, what about the food?"

"Oh." I heard this, but I didn't know what to say. No one is a god, and there is no way to make food in this situation.

"so… "

Li Kai made a gesture, and his face suddenly showed a bit hideous: "We need to work together."

"Cooperation?" I was taken aback: "Cooperation for what?"

"Killing, eating human flesh." A frightening stalker flashed in Li Kai's eyes.
