Chapter 34 - Cannibal Town

Where are we going? Jin Hong looked anxious, her entire body leaning very close to Xiao Chen, but there was a certain distance between them.

Xiao Chen was sensitive to his own safe area, but he was unable to avoid the girls approach despite that.

Go to the alleyway. Xiao Chens tone was somewhat cold.

Jin Hong nodded a little timidly, her eyes wandering.

It was strange.

Xiao Chen noticed that when they were walking on these roads, those old men who were like walking corpses yesterday stood up in unison with their eyes fixed intently on them.

Obviously, they were all old people who were almost in their twilight years. Still, their arms and legs were very flexible, not in harmony with their thin bodies.

Jin Hong was a little scared of the stares and hid behind Xiao Chens back.

Xiao Chens face was sharp, and from a great distance, he saw an old man at the door using a huge pot and withered tree branches picked up from the mountain. He was boiling water, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, squatting on the ground, and repeatedly rubbing the blade on the grindstone, looking like he was about to slaughter a pig.

Seeing the figure of Xiao Chen and the others, they directly stood up with their kitchen knives, looking at them expressionlessly, and even meeting Xiao Chens eyes without any fear.

Xiao Chens eyes were a little dark and chilly, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly out of control.

Once again, his mind was filled with a scene that he could not forget for the rest of his life.

The knife slashed across the persons neck, blood immediately spurted out and splashed onto the surrounding peoples clothes. Everyones expressions were incomparably cold, not even showing the slightest emotion. They were standing to one side with cold eyes, quietly watching the person holding the knife rotate back and forth on the slaughtered persons neck.

The slaughtered man was unable to scream at all because his arms and legs were bound and his throat was slit, and even his arms and legs could only twitch slightly.

Xiao Chens began to feel nauseous, his two hands clenched into fists, cold sweat emerged from his forehead one by one, and his head began to feel dizzy.

The old man looked at Xiao Chen and had no idea what he saw. His face, which was like a dead fish, cracked, and even the knife fell directly to the ground. He breathed rapidly for two seconds and crawled back to the house without looking back.

Jin Hong had hidden behind Xiao Chen and cried out, Is he gone?

Xiao Chens hands were full of cold sweat, and he let out a sigh of relief, Yes.

Slowing down, Xiao Chen and Jin Hong forced themselves to pull themselves together and look for any kind of transportation nearby, but it was too strange!

There wasnt even one of the most common livestock like chickens, ducks, and fish here, not to mention transportation. Every house was very old, even the walls were mud walls, and it was unknown which century they were built in.

Ive searched the entire village, and theres none at all! Ma Hang was a bit frustrated and couldnt help but mutter in a low voice, Damn, this village is too strange, I shouldnt have come back in the first place!

Ma Hang pushed the man next to him, Brother, what to do!

The moment Ma Hang pushed the mans body, he suddenly shuddered. His whole body was like a lost soul and his eyes that were deflated slowly focused when Ma Hang pushed him.

Ma Hang saw that his brother ignored him and only thought that the other party was distracted by his thoughts and was not annoyed.

Ma Chenggong held his forehead, and his body began to shake.

When he saw who was next to him, he couldnt help but open his mouth wide, Ma Hang?

Ma Hang turned back and responded, Brother.

Ma Chenggong looked around.

Rugged mountain road, uninhabited mountain village, mountain forest that was so remote that there wasnt even a single bird

Ma Chenggong couldnt help but cover his heart. His entire body was like in a different world.

Was he still alive?

Thinking of this, Ma Chenggongs eyes were cold, and the moment Ma Hang didnt look at him, Ma Chenggong looked at him with hatred in his eyes.

I was that good to you! You did that to me!

Ma Chenggong swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down. He held his right hand to his forehead to conceal the resentment and the ecstasy of his rebirth.

But soon, he thought of his situation, and his heart went cold again.

He said tentatively, The others, how are they?

Ma Hang blinked, hearing his brother ask the question was strange but didnt think much of it, Just like that, who knows what happened to them. Wait until the noon assembly to see if they found any transportation to get back.

As soon as he heard that, Ma Chenggong was immediately clear on the current timeline.

It was the time before everything had even started!

His teeth clenched, and he began to remember.

The village is called Laodu Village, where he and his brother Ma Hang lived when they were young. When he was young, there was a famine here, and the village even experienced human cannibalism.

The first people the village people attacked were childless widows married in from other villages, and then the defenseless children.

Have you heard of the motherhood experiment of the Japanese Unit 731?

Confine mothers and young infants to a house where they could be cooked to a crisp and test their reactions.

To see if mothers would protect their children from the heat by cradling them in their arms, or if they would choose to step on their children to protect their feet from being burned.

At that time, the prevalence of human cannibalism had reached the point where it was easy to eat each others children, no less than this horrific motherhood experiment.

Since then, the village has been under a terrible curse!

Infertility, all kinds of bizarre deaths The village was becoming less populated, and many people even tried to move away from the area. The fatalities didnt stop with the passage of time and even got weirder

The seven people who had returned now were the only young people left in the entire village!

Ma Chenggongs body shuddered.

But he knew! They will die too!!!

The moment he closed his eyes before he died, he saw a figure behind the crowd!

Just one glance!

And he recognized the man!

Its Tan Jun!

That maniac!

This is not man-made at all! It was the ghosts!

Ma Chenggong sucked in a breath of cold air, not knowing what memories had appeared in his head, and both of his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Its you guys! Jin Hong called out when she saw the Ma Hang duo, but she frowned and didnt take a step forward.

Ma Chenggongs body perked up at the sight of Xiao Chen and took a step back, his horror completely undisguised.

Xiao Chen was the first one to die out of the seven of them!

He had been dipped in the frying pan!

Even the skin was burnt and fried, and the whole body was red and swollen, as ugly as a slaughtered pig. The man was thrown in and screamed miserably, and within a few minutes, he was burnt to a pulp.

And there he stood, seeing the scene from start to finish!

Xiao Chen was baffled by the look in Ma Chenggongs eyes, but he didnt say anything. He stood far away from them, with absolutely no desire to get closer. He had a physical dislike for these people.

The wind gently blew over, and the leaves of the dead tree were blown in a circle on the ground.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt something cold and icy holding his hand, and when he looked down, it was just air, or rather, it was just that he couldnt see it.

But Xiao Chens heart was at peace.

In this world, anyone could have hurt him, but he knew that Tan Jun would not.

Ah-choo! Ma Chenggong felt his feet get cold, as though being surrounded by icebergs, making him sneeze.

Tan Jun wouldnt let anyone off the hook!

Ma Chenggong gritted his teeth, his body trembling terribly.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldnt have done those things!

He thought he had escaped far enough to get away from the nightmare! Who would have thought!

The damn village chief sent him a letter!

It was a critical time for his promotion! If those things in the letter were exposed! His future is ruined!

Who would have thought!

It was all just a trick by Tan Jun to get them back! The goal was to get rid of them all!

Ma Chenggong had a sense of powerless despair.

He simply couldnt forget about the pain that his body felt when he was on the verge of death. It was like ten thousand insects drilling and biting his body, which hurt more than if he had broken his hand.

The mental torture was only more torturous!

If he came back once to die again! How could he be happy!

My babys finally back!

You disgusting people can all go to hell!

The author has something to say:

The supporting characters in this world will be a bit different from the previous two arcs (not to mention Ma Chenggong), the overall IQ is higher.

yuzu: Im not quite sure if the motherhood experiment was real but the Japanese Unit 731 really existed! It was a secret project that carried out human experiments in the 30s and 40s.
