Qiao Yang shook his head helplessly. “I don’t know. I only know that there’s something strange going on in the Dust and Gust Restaurant, but they’ve been keeping a very tight watch on it, so our people couldn’t find out anything.”

“The Venom Cult must have attacked many of your men all these years.”

“Yes. Over the years, the Venom Cult members have been striking our people constantly, whether openly or clandestinely. A few days ago, I was caught by the other party because I let my guard down. It was all thanks to Madam Su who helped me, otherwise, I would have become bug feed now.”

“How does Tiger Might manage the Tiger Base?”

Qiao Yang felt that the word “manage” Su Ying used was not appropriate. Since they had to deal with the Venom Cult, they could only use food to expand their sphere of influence. There wasn’t really any management to speak of.

“We simply provide them with food, but there’s a limit to what they can get. They’ll also give the good stuff they find to Big Brother and let Big Brother sell them for money. This continued for many years.”

“Is there any farmland in the Tiger Base?”

…..

“Yes, there is. But some of the places outside were wastelands that Big Brother got some people to develop. Big Brother has also bought seeds for everyone to grow before, but it seems that the results are not very good.”

Su Ying nodded. She had basically asked all the questions she wanted to ask.

“Have some water and go back.”

Qiao Yang had not even warmed up his stool yet, and he was about to be driven away. He looked at Su Ying a little dejectedly. “If there’s anything, you can look for me at the Tiger Manor, Madam Su. Just walk south after you enter the Tiger Base and go all the way to the end.”

“Alright. I know.”

Qiao Yang saw that Su Ying had no intention of asking him to stay for dinner, so he could only leave reluctantly.

Su Ying picked up a small bun and took a bite. When she thought of what Qiao Yang said, she couldn’t help but worry.

“Master.” Chu Yun walked into the hall excitedly. He was holding the corpses of the bugs in his hand.

Xiao Jin raised his head. “What is it?”

“I have found out what these things are.”

He placed the venomous bugs on the table and a.n.a.lyzed them earnestly. “Judging from the appearance of these venomous bugs, they must be soul-controlling venomous bugs. After these venomous bugs enter a person’s body, they will corrode the person’s brain at the first available opportunity and then take control of the person.”

Su Ying narrowed her eyes. She recalled the behavior of Number Eight and Number Nine and understood finally.

In other words, this venomous bug had the ability to hypnotize people.

After listening, Su Ying suddenly stood up and walked out.

Su Ying went to the place where Number Eight and Number Nine were tied up. The two of them were awake now, but they trembled all over when they saw Su Ying walking toward them.

“Mis… Mistress, please spare my life. Please spare my life.”

“Don’t be afraid. I don’t want to see blood today.” Su Ying took out a pill and stuffed it into Number Eight’s mouth.

“Swallow it.”

Number Eight swallowed the pill obediently.

Su Ying pulled a stool over and sat down to wait.

Before long, Number Eight’s body suddenly went into convulsions, and his face turned ferocious. His tortured expression scared Number Nine so much that he peed his pants.

Following that, Number Eight’s body trembled suddenly and he opened his mouth wide. A bug the size of half a fingernail crawled out of his mouth.

The moment the bug left his body, Number Eight fainted right away.

The black bug fell to the ground, twitched, and died.

Su Ying used a tree branch to pick up the bug. She brought it back to the house to show Chu Yun.

“Is this the same species as those dead ones?”

Chu Yun leaned over to take a closer look and the final conclusion he arrived at was “Yes.”

However, the venomous bug that came out of Number Eight’s body was a pregnant female bug.

Xiao Jin’s expression clouded over. “They’re using humans to breed the venomous bugs. In other words, everyone who has eaten at the Dust and Gust Restaurant has been infected by those venomous bugs.”

What a malicious method!

Su Ying thought of something else. More than half of the inhabitants in the Tiger Base had eaten the meat in the Dust and Gust Restaurant. In other words, they could become the Venom Cult’s weapons which might be unleashed against Su Ying’s camp at any time.

If the other party really used this killing move, she might not be able to deal with so many people at once.

For now, she could only think of a way to kill the venomous bugs in those people’s bodies.

However, the most important thing now was to fill her stomach.

When Su Ying reached the kitchen, she saw Uncle Hea walking out. “Mistress, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you.”

Su Ying’s gaze fell on the grunting and snorting tender pigs in the livestock pen. She hadn’t had fresh meat for a long time.

“Pork?”

Uncle Hea looked at the pigs with a pained expression, but since Su Ying wanted to eat them, he could slaughter one boar and breed with the others. “Sure. I’ll go and choose one to slaughter now.”

The children were still playing happily with the pigs, but when they saw that Uncle Hea was about to slaughter one pig, they couldn’t control their emotions and started sobbing.

“Boo hoo hoo! Poor piggy is going to be killed.” The younger toddler Ling covered her tiny face with a sorrowful look.

The older toddler Ji also seemed to be in low spirits.

However, their little resistance did not change the fate of the big pig.

In the end, the little ones finished a bowl of pork with tears in their eyes!

“Mmm. It tastes so good.”

Ling was gnawing on the crispy pork ribs with a satisfied look on her little face.

Su Ying immediately grabbed the pork trotter and chomped it until her mouth was covered in grease. The taste of the fresh and tender meat juice filling her mouth was simply too satisfying!

At night, everyone ate until their bellies were bloated, and even the wolves were given internal organs and the pig head.

After consuming less than half of the pig, Uncle Hea marinated the rest with salt and air-dried it in the backyard so that it could be preserved for a longer time.

At nightfall, after was.h.i.+ng up, the two little ones leaned into Su Ying’s arms.

“Mother, Ling wants to hear a story.”

“Ji wants to hear a story too.”

Su Ying hugged the two tiny heads and felt a little troubled. Stories? Other than those novels she had read many years ago when she was influenced by her battle comrades, she didn’t really have any stories in her mind.

“Mother will tell you the story of a big monster.”

“Alright.”

The two little ones waited in antic.i.p.ation.

“In the distant future, this world will no longer be suitable for us humans to live in. All living creatures are living in misery. Even humans will turn into monsters. At this time, the remaining normal people will be divided into many factions. They constantly expand their spheres of influence, and form armies to s.n.a.t.c.h the very limited resources.”

“Mother, did everyone turn into monsters?” Ji raised his tiny head curiously.

Su Ying nodded. “Not all of them, but quite a lot are affected. Even the sky is dark and gloomy as if the sun doesn’t want to light up that land of despair. The remaining normal people left are not really normal either. In order to fight for more living s.p.a.ce, they keep declaring war and killing each other like killing machines…”

Su Ying’s voice was soft and gentle. Accompanied by the nighttime cool mountain breeze, her voice faded off into the air.

Before the story could be finished, the two little fellows had already fallen asleep in Su Ying’s arms.

Su Ying raised her head and her gaze met Xiao Jin’s eyes, which were exceptionally bright in the dark.

“What happens to the general in the end?” Xiao Jin looked at her and asked in a deep voice.

Su Ying lay down and closed her eyes. “She dies. It comes with the territory when she’s always fighting in battles. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with dying..”
