Chapter 71 Live-Fed Farm - Execution

Back in the dormitory, Bai Xiao lay on her bed and thought. She had only felt herself being showered and her arm going numb on the first night and the second night. Clearly, blood was drawn every other day. If nothing went wrong, tonight would be the second time her blood was collected.

This might be a chance to escape.

At that time, she hadn't expected that an even better opportunity was about to arrive.

On the first day, everyone had been frightened by the Administrators' brutal way of feeding them. Over the next two days, even if they couldn't stomach the food, everyone would just grit their teeth and eat.

Something went wrong during lunch today. Someone suddenly went mad while eating. Halfway through her meal, she first stared blankly ahead, not even reacting when an Administrator hit her with a Ferule.

After a moment, she seemed like a different person. She suddenly flipped the half-eaten tray in front of her, scattering the remaining food everywhere. The people at the same table were so startled they retreated half a meter.

It happened so suddenly that the Administrator didn't react in time, and those nearby ended up with food scraps all over their faces.

Everyone in the restaurant was startled by this sudden action; Bai Xiao even felt as if the air had frozen for a second.

But soon, the nearest Administrators reacted and swarmed around her.

The woman stepped onto a chair and climbed onto the round dining table. She picked up two empty trays and waved them to attack the surrounding Administrators while shouting loudly, "Are you all stupid? Why don't you resist? These people are clearly raising us like livestock. We must fight for our human rights!"

She looked at her fellow humans, who were shrinking back with their trays without making a single move, and grew even angrier: "What are you afraid of? We don't even have the most basic freedom to eat or move. Every day, we are treated like animals. There are many of us and few of them. Let's all resist them together and escape!"

The Administrators listened to her crazy talk and hurriedly moved in to surround and capture her.

"She has broken the prohibition! Catch her and drag her away quickly!"

The woman used the two large trays to block and strike. Since the round table was very large and she stood right in the center, the Administrators' arms couldn't reach her. Anyone who tried to climb onto the table to catch her was slapped away by a tray. Occupying the high ground, she entered a state of invincibility for a short time.

But this state of invincibility lasted for less than half a minute. Some Administrators who saw the commotion had already gone out to find tools. In the end, the woman was outnumbered; just blocking the Administrators from climbing the table left her in a frantic state.

An Electric baton silently pressed against her leg, making a sizzling sound. Her whole body jerked, and she went limp.

"Drag her to the Processing Room first," someone commanded.

Bai Xiao watched the direction the woman was dragged—it was toward those two sealed rooms on the First Floor.

Based on her past game experience, Bai Xiao knew the woman who was just dragged away had clearly awakened. She had seen the game prompts, but she was likely a newcomer to the game, lacking experience and the knowledge of how to endure, let alone the cruelty of this game.

She was most likely doomed. Those two rooms on the First Floor were probably where these Administrators dealt with disobedient people.

If disobedient people were processed, those two rooms on the First Floor clearly weren't places for long-term storage. Since she had basically explored the entire building and found no other suitable place, it was very likely that the processed people would be transported to a specific location outside the building.

This was an excellent opportunity to leave.

But the prerequisite was that she had to know how the disobedient people were processed and what loopholes she could exploit.

"Assemble! Everyone back to your rooms on the Third Floor!"

Since there was trouble today, the free activity time for the two-person and four-person rooms was canceled. Bai Xiao followed the large group back to her room.

She knew that next was the Administrators' lunch break. These people definitely wouldn't stay on the Third Floor for long and would soon head to the First Floor to eat.

This was a chance to sneak out and check the Processing Room.

It was the first time the three roommates had returned to the room during free time. They weren't sleepy yet, and after taking a few steps inside, they stopped, not knowing what to do.

"My three numbered friends," Bai Xiao called out from behind them.

"Wha..." Before the word could even leave their mouths or they could turn around, Bai Xiao struck with lightning speed. Two heavy punches and a hand chop knocked the three of them unconscious. Then, she placed them on their beds one by one, making it look like they were sleeping.

Afterwards, she skillfully picked the lock and went out, sliding down the pipes at the end of the Second Floor corridor to the First Floor.

She clung to the windowsill in the same way as the previous night, but she was a bit late. She didn't see the process of the Breaker being handled. When she arrived, the woman was being dragged out the door by one Administrator, while another was packing things into a cabinet.

Bai Xiao only saw that the items being put away looked a bit like Syringes from the real world. Were the processed people being injected with drugs?

She quickly moved to another room to observe. The processed woman had already been placed into the box she saw last night. The Administrator from the other room who had finished packing hadn't come in yet. Only the Administrator responsible for placing the Breaker was in the room, straightening a slightly crooked Crate cart.

Now that it was daytime and the light was clear, she realized those boxes weren't actual boxes at all, but clearly Crate carts.

Bai Xiao returned to the dormitory upstairs in confusion. There were only five Crate carts in the room. Were the processed people supposed to stay inside forever? Wouldn't they start to smell after a while? She thought that was impossible; perhaps someone would come to collect the carts, or maybe these Administrators would periodically move them out.

The afternoon massage and movie screening proceeded as usual. Originally, Bai Xiao's position was toward the back of the room. For the past few days, she hadn't rushed to be first in anything, only following leisurely at the back.

When the movie ended, she followed as usual. Another commotion broke out ahead. Through the crowd, Bai Xiao saw two Administrators quickly escorting another woman downstairs.

That woman shouted in terror, "I'm telling the truth! As long as you're willing to let me out, my dad will give each of you ten million! Our family is very rich; buying this whole place wouldn't be a problem! Really, and I promise I definitely won't call the police..."

Another awakened newcomer. Watching her being dragged away, a bold idea gradually began to sprout in Bai Xiao's mind.

Back on the First Floor, as soon as they sat at the dining table, the Administrator announced that they could start eating.

Bai Xiao picked up her chopsticks with a tremble, shakily picking up food. Her abnormality quickly caught the Administrator's attention.

The Administrator tightened the grip on the Ferule, ready to act: "What's wrong with you? Don't want to eat?"

She timidly bit her lower lip and shook her head pitifully: "No, no, I'll eat."

Her cheeks were slightly fleshy, her skin was fair and tender, and her eyes were dark and round, looking like a combination of almond and peach blossom eyes. Usually, she was unusually cold, but once she withdrew her sharp gaze, her whole face immediately became innocently deceptive.

At this moment, she put on a very frightened look, appearing as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
