Chapter 26 Alien Mantis

"Human world... Ranch..."

Looking at the four big words on the information, Lin Yi felt cold all over.

"Just like Uncle An said before, the city we live in has been a breeding farm since the beginning." Zhou Kai on the side explained in a low voice.

"The humans living here are food for monsters, and the monsters living here are equivalent to breeders, that is, owners."

"When humans grow up, monsters will eat us without hesitation. And some high-quality humans may be sent to other places in other ways and provided to other monsters."

"Other ways...does it mean going to work in other places, or going to college?" Lin Yi asked.

Zhou Kai nodded and said, "This is the only possibility I can think of for the time being."

"As for the '798' behind..." Zhou Kai pointed to the number on the information, "I think it may be a number."

"In other words, there are at least 798 ranches like this city?!" Lin Yi was surprised.

"At least 798, but I think there will be more."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth. In just a few words, Lin Yi's worldview began to collapse.

He didn't know what happened in this world. If humans were livestock raised by monsters from the beginning, then what did the knowledge they learned over the years represent? Could human history also be fabricated by these monsters?

"These things were found by Uncle An next to the skeleton." Zhou Kai continued.

"The skeleton may have discovered the true face of these monsters before his death, so he wanted to leave. However, I can't think of what happened for the time being, so a person with a key died there."

"Uncle An said that the location of the skeleton is very close to the periphery of the city."

"Could it be that the monsters found it, chased it and killed it?" Lu Linhai asked.

Zhou Kai shook his head: "If that person really died there because of the monsters, we wouldn't see these things."

"It's a pity that these materials were torn into pieces when Uncle An found them. Although they were barely pieced together, the information that could be grasped was limited."

Lin Yi took out the information in the file bag, and then saw that these materials were pieced together and glued together again.

There are many missing pieces in the information, but at least we can learn something from it.

"It records how to use the key." Zhou Kai pointed to one of the pages and said.

"When you get close to the edge of the city, the center of the key will light up red. As the red light slowly spreads, until the key turns completely red, you can leave."

"In addition to these, there is a sketch of the monster on this page."

Lin Yi turned to the back and saw the sketch.

The sketch showed the monsters that Lin Yi encountered.

He will always remember the appearance of these monsters, sickle-like mantis-like forearms, like octopus tentacles, but without suction cups, but covered with barbs.

There are also those disgusting insect legs, as well as two huge compound eyes and saw-like mouthparts.

The incongruous appearance made Lin Yi feel upset.

"Anomaly name: mantis, wingless subclass, medium intelligence species..."

Below the sketch, the information of this monster is recorded.

"A carnivorous alien with sickle-shaped forearms. Its compound eyes are prominent, large and bright. It has tentacles on its abdomen to entangle its prey. Its neck can rotate freely, and its mouth is serrated..."

"Tentacles?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, "Is this the name of those monsters?"

Zhou Kai shrugged and said, "That's what the information says."

Looking at the information in his hand, Lin Yi felt more and more strange.

"If there is information recording the appearance and characteristics of these monsters, it means that someone has studied them. So, as long as we find someone who has studied these monsters, we can find a way to get rid of them?"

"If we can really get rid of them, do you think this city will still become a pasture for feeding humans?" Zhou Kai sighed.

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment.

"I know what you are thinking." Zhou Kai continued, "Lin Yi, what we have to do is not to kill these monsters."

"Do you know how many of these monsters there are? Moreover, according to the information, there are definitely more than one type of monsters we have seen."

"We are not opponents of these monsters, and what we have to do is never to kill them. All we have to do is survive."

When he said this, Zhou Kai looked at Zhou Yun beside him.

"I just hope that Xiaoyun can grow up safely and live a peaceful life." Zhou Kai touched Zhou Yun's head, "Otherwise, I have never thought about it."

Zhou Kai's thoughts have always been like this. If possible, he doesn't want to conflict with these monsters at all.

Even if he knows that the people around him are monsters, he just wants to survive with his sister.

So, he pretended not to know and grew up until now.

However, Lin Yi's thoughts are different from Zhou Kai's.

Lin Yi hates these monsters, because of these monsters, he will be separated from his biological parents.

If possible, Lin Yi wants to know what happened in this world and wants to get rid of these monsters.

"Even if we want to survive, do you think those monsters will let us go?" Lin Yi said.

"In the eyes of those monsters, humans are nothing more than food."

"They don't care what the food thinks, let alone whether the food they are about to eat has dreams. All they have to do is open their mouths and eat the food."

"Zhou Kai, we can't escape."

"We can escape." Zhou Kai's eyes rarely showed a glimmer of hope.

He took the information from Lin Yi, pulled out the last page, and put it on the top.

Then, Zhou Kai pointed to the handwriting written in pen and said, "As long as we go here, we can survive safely."

Looking at the place where Zhou Kai pointed, the handwriting of the pen was already very faint, but it was still possible to see what was written.

It was a line of neat handwriting, which read - "The Far North? Peach Blossom Spring? The last hope of mankind?"

"What does this mean?"

Unlike the other contents in the information, only this line of words was written in pen.

If Lin Yi guessed correctly, this line of words might have been written by the skeleton before his death.

"North." Zhou Kai said, "After leaving here, we will go north. There may be a place that belongs only to humans, a place without monsters, so it is called 'Peach Blossom Spring'."

"As long as we go there, we can live a peaceful life."

"Are you crazy?" Lin Yi was a little surprised, "This line of words was obviously written later, and there is a question mark behind it."

"How do you know if it is true if you don't go and see?" Zhou Kai said firmly.

Just as the two were arguing, An Chengdao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up.

The three bloodletting knives in the bag flew out and floated in front of him.

An Chengdao looked up at Lin Yi and the others, and said in a calm voice, "You can't go anywhere."
