Zhang Chenze's eyes widened, unable to say a word, she could only unconsciously step back.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Jiajin's view was blocked by Zhang Chenze, not knowing what had happened.

They saw this arrogant lawyer take several steps back and then sit on the dirty ground.

"You...you..." Zhang Chenze pointed at the female shop assistant.

Everyone followed her gaze and found that the female shop assistant was holding a small piece of arm in her open palm. The arm was very small and delicate, definitely not from an adult. Moreover, the fingers on it were distinct, definitely not from any animal.

It seemed that this female shop assistant had indeed cooked a baby.

The baby's arm was emitting a tempting fragrance.

Qi Xia saw this scene and thought about the strange environment of this room, instantly understanding something.

"This is...a piglet?" Qi Xia asked tentatively.

"Yes." The female shop assistant nodded. "Don't you want to eat?"

Qi Xia's face turned serious as he asked again, "You said that if we sleep with you, you can eat piglets, is it this kind of piglet?!"

"Yes." The female shop assistant stared blankly at Qi Xia. "Piglets are delicious."

The smell of blood was heavy here, and there were bloodstains on the female shop assistant's thighs and on the bed. If Qi Xia guessed correctly, this woman had just given birth and then cooked the child.

She asked men to sleep with her just to eat the child.

"I can only eat a piglet once a year..." The female shop assistant smiled, revealing her yellow teeth. "I just wanted to ask if any of you would like to sleep with me. I can exchange it with pig trotters..."

"We...we won't eat..." Officer Li shook his head.

"Since you won't eat...then forget it..." She fumbled and put the cooked baby's arm into her pocket, then wiped the oil off her hands.

Zhang Chenze saw her clothes that she had draped over the other person, and couldn't say anything.

She had never thought that cooking human flesh would leave so many oil stains.

Tian Tian slowly walked to the side of the female shop assistant, her expression complicated as she said to her, "Miss, what you ate was not a piglet, it was a child..."

"A child?" The female shop assistant's lifeless eyes turned around. "That's a piglet, it suddenly jumped out and even bumped into me."

Everyone looked at each other, unable to respond.

"Hey...I'm hungry again." The female shop assistant raised her eyebrows. "I'm going to drink pork soup. It's great to be able to eat to my heart's content."

After speaking, she turned around and walked into the staff lounge again. Before closing the door, she seemed to remember something and smiled foolishly at everyone. "Feel free to choose!"

Then she closed the door heavily.

The group of people remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Finally, Qi Xia broke the silence and spoke.

"Even if this place doesn't get destroyed in ten days, we still won't be able to return to the real world." Qi Xia touched his forehead. "If we have to stay here forever, we will eventually go crazy like her."

This time, Officer Li did not oppose Qi Xia.

He hesitated too. In this obviously abnormal city, under this dark red sky and the yellow sun, how long could humans maintain their sanity?

Sounds of kitchen utensils colliding came from inside the house, indicating that the female shop assistant seemed to have served herself another bowl of delicacy and was now enjoying it.

Just a door away, a woman was eating her own newborn child.

Everything in this place was too abnormal.

"I want to go out and take a look." Qi Xia spoke up. "Aren't you curious? What is this place? Who are these people? Does the city have an edge? What's outside? How did we come here, and how do we get out?"

Rather than saying they were "curious," the expressions on everyone's faces seemed more like fear.

"I just feel that there is danger everywhere here..." Xiao Ran shook her head and said to Qi Xia, "Instead of participating in those 'games' outside, I would rather find a safe place to stay."

"Brother, there's no food or drink here." Qiao Jiajin rubbed his stomach and said, "We need to stay alive. We can't really eat that piglet, right?"

His position was obvious. Rather than staying here and waiting to die, he also wanted to go out and take a look.

At this point, the nine people seemed to be divided into two teams. Some wanted to leave, while others wanted to stay.

Dr. Zhao looked at Han Yimo beside him and said, "It's no problem to go out and take a look, but the injured person can't go. He can only stay here. As a doctor, I should also stay to take care of him."

"Then I'll stay with you..." Xiao Ran said softly.

"Are you guys not afraid of death?" Qiao Jiajin shook his head. "A patient, a weak girl, plus a doctor. Are you three planning to live here?"

"I'll stay too." Officer Li suddenly spoke up.

Dr. Zhao and the others turned to look at him, knowing that if the physically strong Officer Li also stayed, it would naturally be safer.

Officer Li nodded at Dr. Zhao and said, "This hooligan is right. The three of you staying here alone is too dangerous. Not to mention those animal masks, even if that woman inside goes crazy, you won't be able to handle it."

Now there were already four people choosing to stay, and everyone's gaze turned to Tian Tian, Zhang Chenze, and Lin Qin.

These three girls had not made their stance known yet.

"Of course, I'm staying." Zhang Chenze smiled slightly. "I'm a lawyer. Until I have all the information, I won't take the initiative to attack. That would lead to wrong judgments."

After speaking, she got up and walked to the side of Officer Li and Dr. Zhao.

At this moment, Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin seemed to be the odd ones out. They wanted to go out and explore in this seemingly dangerous world, like children who hadn't grown up.

Tian Tian looked at Lin Qin beside her, then walked to Qi Xia's side, but she never said a word.

It seemed that she didn't need any reason to join Qi Xia's team.

"Huh?" Qiao Jiajin raised his eyebrows. "I thought you would stay."

"Stay?" Tian Tian smiled bitterly and shook her head, then pointed her finger at the ground. "Can't you see it? There's a wall here, and this wall forces me to leave."

"A wall?" Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin looked down and didn't see any "wall.""On one side of the wall, there are police, lawyers, doctors, and writers. On this side of the wall, there are fraudsters, hooligans, and prostitutes." Tian Tian spoke in a calm tone, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, she continued, "Our 'camp' was determined from the very beginning, wasn't it?"

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin's expressions shifted, understanding Tian Tian's meaning.

Indeed, even though all nine of them were ordinary people forced to come here, they still had their own 'camps'.

Qi Xia, Qiao Jiajin, and Tian Tian were all people living in the gray area, destined to be incompatible with others.

Now, the only one left who hadn't chosen her 'camp' was Lin Qin.

Given her identity as a 'psychological counselor', she should also go to the other side of the 'wall'.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

But what everyone didn't expect was that she slowly walked over to Qi Xia and the others.

Qi Xia had a vague feeling that there was something off about this girl, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"You're coming too?" Tian Tian looked at the girl in confusion, "You're not like us, maybe if you follow them..."

"But I'm very useful." Lin Qin covered her mouth and nose, smiling at Tian Tian and interrupting her, "I understand human nature, maybe I can help."

Qiao Jiajin stretched lazily, slowly saying, "Great, with two beautiful women accompanying us, the fraudster and I won't be bored."

"Don't call me a fraudster." Qi Xia frowned, "And I don't need you guys to follow me."

"Alright, alright..." Qiao Jiajin nodded, "When are we leaving? Now?"

"I..."

Before Qi Xia could finish speaking, Lin Qin interjected, "It's really late now, I personally suggest we leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Everyone turned to look out the window, indeed, the sky had already darkened.

The sky was even more crimson, constantly emitting a dangerous aura.
