"Oh no! My base!"
...
At this moment, in the Tento Mountains, Goto Naoki lay beside a cage with a blank expression.
A few hours earlier, he, his wife, and their youngest daughter were captured by the retreating villagers.
His wife and daughters were locked in cages, while he was locked outside.
Tears of humiliation streamed down the middle-aged man's face. Those devils had told him all sorts of ways to torture his family, and they were just waiting to carry them out. If it weren't for the fact that the person in charge here said that his wife and daughters were to be left at some kind of religious ceremony for the son of some rich man in Yamada to have sex with, it would probably all be over by now.
But it was clear he had nothing left to hold back; he got a severe beating.
They also witnessed the horrific scene of people drinking each other's blood. The villagers seemed to be saying something like, "We only wanted to heal our wounds when this happened. This child only offered himself up to help us heal. He accidentally completed the body shaping. The richest man can't just ignore it, can he?"
It seems there was a commotion earlier; people were shouting something and all rushed out at once.
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
According to Naoki Goto's observations, this place cannot be explained by ordinary human trafficking organizations or parks.
First, there's the supernatural person who drinks human blood. He watched as the old man, who was on the verge of death, drank a mouthful of blood, and it seemed that his severed arm began to recover.
Then there's the structure of this place. Goto Naoki was pulled down several levels, and he speculated that the mountain seemed to have been built with a structure like an anthill, with countless nests in the mountain, and then connecting passages between the upper and lower levels to connect these nests. The total area was probably unimaginable, and it might even extend underground into the mountain.
Here, each nest chamber is a workshop, as is the prison where he is currently located.
Besides their family, there were several other people here who were in a daze and seemed to have been tortured to the point of losing their ability to speak.
Given the size of the place and the fact that calling the police had been useless, he had completely given up hope.
Honestly, if he couldn't bear to leave his wife and daughter alone in this hell, he would have killed himself long ago rather than suffer here.
Just as he was looking in despair at the "ceiling" with only a light bulb hanging in the sky, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out outside.
He turned his gaze and heard a series of screams and wails. He was right at the entrance to this "nest." Through the mottled iron door, which seemed to still bear bloodstains, he saw the crowd constantly dodging and fleeing, occasionally firing a shot backward, but daring not to linger.
Soon after, he also saw the thing chasing the crowd.
His eyes widened little by little.
Yes! It's those two people! How...how could this be!
"Hey! Listen up, you people in the room! If you want to live, make a sound and come with us to kill all those monsters!"
Chapter Thirty-Four: Hmph! Trying to escape?
That's it! That's it!
Not just those two students, but others too!
Goto Naoki looked on in surprise. Behind Kerry and Sato Kazuma, separated by a cell door, were a dozen or so fierce-looking, emaciated men.
The two men in front knocked down the fleeing men, while the filthy men behind them used knives or even just sharp stones to stab the hearts of those who had fallen to the ground.
Those are the people who were arrested and brought here!
"Ahhhh!"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" The captured people pounded the ground with all their might amidst the wails of the fallen monsters, venting the emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for many days.
"No! No!" A ghoul, whose body was being ridden by someone holding a stone and whose heart hadn't been pierced despite several attempts, kept pushing his hands away, trying to beg for mercy.
"No! Who cared about us when we cried out for no?! What did you do? You contacted my children, made them send money, and sent me videos to torture me in front of them! After they were heavily in debt, you disappeared, leaving me here to be your scapegoat!"
You make us draw blood and store it in a database, so that if any important person needs organs, they can be taken from us! We're assessed on workload every month, and the bottom-ranked workload is all used to feed you monsters!
I only chose to live a nomadic life because my child is getting married, we don't have enough space at home, and I didn't want to bother them. And you want to destroy my family!
There were other people who made similar screams.
"My son! My son just said that the gruel you feed pigs, the kind even pigs won't eat, is too little! You turned him into a monster! You even branded him with an iron in front of me, cut off his limbs, and skinned him! I want you to have a taste too!"
Roars and screams echoed throughout the mountainside structure.
Kazuma saw Goto Naoki's direction and immediately turned around and called out.
"Those who found the keys, please collect them and see if any are for this shop!"
Soon someone came over with the keys.
This isn't all the people Kree rescued. There are a lot of "reserve food" imprisoned in this building. But you can imagine, even if the total number of ghouls is kept below 100, and they are eaten once a week, and each person turns into a ghoul after eating about three times, the permanent food supply here would need to be at least 300 to keep these things safe.
After Kerry stormed three rooms from the entrance on the mountainside, he rescued about 30 people. However, half of them ignored Kazuma and Kerry's orders and ran straight down the mountain.
However, Kerry didn't care. The fact that half of the people would give up the chance to actually escape during the day and instead choose to risk their lives to kill these guys with them already showed that these guys were truly inhuman.
Soon, another person came over with the keys.
Goto Naoki watched as Kerry continued to rush past his line of sight and exchange fire with the opposite side, and then watched Kazuma constantly changing keys to test which one was the right door for this room.
His long-numbed spirit began to be rekindled little by little by the leaping flames, and his blood, which had grown cold from despair, was once again filled with scalding hot blood.
"Hey! Uncle, are you alright?"
After Goto Naoki nodded, Kazuma looked at Goto Michiyo and Goto Jiri, who were locked in cages.
"Madam! How is the little girl? We found some water left behind by those people. Feel free to drink it if you don't mind."
Immediately afterward, others followed Kazuma and rushed in.
"Brother, you go ahead! We'll take care of untying the cages here."
Those were a few people who looked injured but had only wrapped themselves in rags, yet they were still struggling to move.
"Alright, now that you're untied, you can rest here for a bit."
Kazuma glanced at the group of men who had been hit by enemy bullets that had bypassed Kerry because they had rushed too far forward, nodded, and left the room.
As Goto Naoki watched Kazuma's departing figure, he knew that if a riot broke out, the best outcome would be that some people would escape, and no one would even think of resisting or rescuing more people.
When people are feeling lost, they need a firm voice and a resolute attitude, even if that voice is wrong, it can still help them move forward.
It is precisely because of these two intruders that more people choose to continue in this manner, and that they move forward in such an orderly fashion instead of engaging in various filthy scenes of escape.
His cloudy eyes stared at the prison door, and he unconsciously uttered a word.
"H...ero..."
...
On the other front line, Kerry and Kazuma, who had caught up with them, were fighting each other more and more fiercely in the cave.
Because they not only have a huge stockpile of firearms, knives, shields, and even explosives, but if they hadn't stormed in quickly enough, and instead launched a large-scale attack from the outside, giving the mountain people time to retreat, the consequences of a single explosive device would have been unimaginable.
Moreover, the scale here is unbelievably large.
A series of staircases and corridors, and rooms.
The rooms were used for various purposes; some were used by people in shackles to process medicines.
Some rooms are dark and damp, filled with dirty and messy bunk beds.
Some of them look better, like the houses of workers in the mountains, with tiled floors, wooden floors, and even internet access.
Kerry recalled that when he interrogated the residents at the foot of the mountain, they said that one mountain was used to store food and make money, and the other mountain was where some adults lived. They were not allowed to go to the other mountain, and there were mine carts connecting the two mountains.
Kerry confirmed this by observing that those people were retreating while fighting, all while running downwards.
Meanwhile, on another mountain.
The monk Jingxin, who had received the order to prevent them from quickly reaching the mountain through the tunnel, even if it meant blowing up the minecarts and killing all the incompetent people on that mountain at the hands of that monster, was talking to his underlings about other things.
"You go and support Tianhu Mountain, this humble monk will follow shortly."
After all his men had left to carry out their orders, Jingxin looked in another direction.
It was a pond filled with lotus leaves, and it was usually guarded.
“Sand, it’s been 14 years. This humble monk finally has the opportunity to take you away.”
Ps:
Kirishiki Sand: From Shiki.
The girl who was eaten a hundred years ago and turned into a ghoul is actually quite old, but she looks like a little girl.
She's a rather extraordinary being; while others only eat when they're hungry, she actively expands the ghoul population.
In fact, she always had a moral burden about cannibalism, but she didn't have an advantage in it; instead, she had a disadvantage.
Finally, when she no longer wanted to live, Jingxin told her that she just wanted to live and that she was not wrong, which rekindled her hope for life and led her to escape with Jingxin.
Chapter Thirty-Five: Does not closing it mean it's open?
"Let me go!"
A sharp female scream rang out.
Kerry and Kazuma, who were charging ahead, were taken aback.
Kerry turned around; the direction from which the sound came was the place they had already breached.
"Was someone dishonest and tried to grope the rescued woman?" Kazuma frowned.
Kerry frowned. He thought this was very likely. After all, these people were already quite uncivilized before they were arrested. Even the most civilized people would be lucky to avoid mental problems after being in this environment for two weeks. He turned around and strode towards the crowd.
"what happened?"
Kerry approached with a questioning tone, and the crowd immediately dispersed.
Kerry holds an unimaginable place in the hearts of the rescued people, who regard him as the hero who led them in their fight against these monsters.
As the crowd dispersed, Kerry saw several men grabbing a woman. Beside the woman, a man was covering his bleeding face.
Upon seeing Kerry approach, someone immediately came to explain.
"Brother! Those monsters need to make money to support the brothels and idols down the mountain, so when some of the good-looking women are captured, they lock them in rooms for 'teaching.' Some of the people with status here can choose a few women to play with before those women are sent away for 'teaching.'"
"And then?" Kerry's tone became somewhat harsh because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
"Then we just came to rescue her, but she said she didn't want us to save her, and even said that we...we traitors would be dealt with...Ota-kun tried to help her unlock her shackles, but she scratched him..."
The old man who was explaining to Kerry tried to be as tactful as possible.
