Chapter Thirty-Three Women
This is a ruin of a building that is dozens of stories high. However, the entire floor has been broken from the middle and falls tilted to the ground. Half of the part connected with it has been scattered in the soil. The exposed floor can only silently endure the raging wind, passing through the windows and doorways between their bodies, making their already unfirmed bodies more fragile. The "whimper" sound made by the air flow when it passes through the holes is like the whine from the ruins, telling their helplessness and sorrow to the empty world.
There are three floors left in the base of the building. Only from the fracture of its upper end can it be vaguely seen that it was once connected to the part that fell on the ground. Compared with the remaining limbs lying on the ground, its fate is not much better. Hundreds of years of wind and sun have left many marks on its body. Although it has not reached the level of shaking, it has been in a thousand holes and is in rags.
This is where Tianxiang senses it. On its second floor, there are thirty-six strange hunters.
The snow was falling heavily, and the howling wind was enough to cover up all the sounds in the world. But the hunters gathered in the ruins discovered the abnormalities with their keen hearing.
Just as the four visitors had just walked to the edge of the ruins, a gun that flew out of the second floor suddenly penetrated into the snow pile in front of Tianxiang with a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
"Who are you?" A female voice, obviously trembling from the cold, but calm, rang from the second floor.
"Woman?" Tianxiang was quite surprised. However, he still replied slowly, "Don't be afraid, we are the ones who are here to help you."
"Help?" There was a hint of surprise and panic in the female voice.
"Yes! Help you! I have what you need most!" Tianxiang increased his tone.
The female voice was silent. It could be seen that the owner of the voice was hesitating and thinking. Tianxiang himself could also feel from the position where the sound was making: there was a fierce and tense quarrel going on, but obviously suppressing the tone of his speaking.
"You... come in!" After a while, the female voice rang again. However, everyone could hear that there was more helplessness and fatigue in the past than the vigilant inquiry just now.
The four people who obtained the permission entered the cold ruins and walked up to the second floor along the stairs soaked in water, which was slightly soft but could still support them. However, the scene in front of them really surprised them.
"Women? Why are they all women?" This was Tianxiang's first thought when he walked into the room.
In the dark and humid room, stacked pieces of bricks and stones carefully blocked the holes towards both sides. The only window for ventilation was covered by a wooden board that was mottled and damaged. Despite this, it was still impossible to completely block the strong wind with cold outside. The cold that pierced the bone marrow still sneaked into the gap between the gravel and the wooden board, occupying every corner of the room. Only a pile of small fires in the middle of the room that were still burning but no heat was emitting, struggling to support the few remaining positions.
Near the fire, there were a group of dull-looking women sitting. They were so crowded that there was no gap between them. It felt like a circular ring of humans, covering the entire pile of flames. Only a tiny space above the head was left, allowing the air to pass carefully.
They were keeping warm, relying on such a small fire to keep warm. Looking at them, Tianxiang suddenly remembered the huge fires ignited by the people of the tribe in the base. The warm fires that were burning wildly and never extinguished every day.
Seeing four strange-clad men walking in, all the women sitting around stood up suddenly. The gun at hand was also raised high, pointing the sharp gun tip flashing with a light blue light at these strangers who suddenly visited.
"Don't be nervous, we have no malice. Look, we have no weapons." Seeing this, Tianxiang quickly raised his left hand and shook it gently, but his right hand did not relax and tightly hold the M5G43 gun handle. The black and cold muzzle was pointed at the woman in front of him without any deviation.
Good intentions are good intentions, but necessary vigilance should definitely be maintained.
Perhaps seeing that they did not have the weapons commonly used by hunters in their hands, the tip of the gun in the woman's hand began to hang slightly. Several of them were thinly dressed, even threw the gun in their hands, sat down suddenly, and squeezed their original position backwards to the fire. Judging from the impact of their trembling body fighting with their teeth, the threat caused by the cold was obviously much larger than these strangers who were inexplicably visiting.
Not only her, but also a few thin women, sat around the fire, trembling. They had almost no clothes on them, but only a few pieces of cloth that were only enough to cover their figs. A gust of cold wind blew, which could easily lift them up, revealing their shriveled breasts hidden under them.
"It's so miserable!" Zhan Feng behind Tianxiang shook his head, gently poked his waist with his elbow, and the muzzle in his hand was slightly pointed to the other side. Following the guidance, Tianxiang clearly saw: a girl of similar age was trembling, warming her hands that were frozen blue due to the cold with the heat from her mouth. While stretching a pair of stained feet to the fire to bake. On her left foot, there was only a lonely big toe. The other toes had been replaced by four black marks.
That was the trace left by frostbite, which was mentioned in ancient medical books.
Not only her, but almost all the women sitting in front of the fire had some bruises caused by the cold. Moreover, Tianxiang also noticed that apart from the scattered dead branches in front of the fire, there was no more burning in the room.
Looking at everything in front of him, Tianxiang felt a sour sound in his nose. A sour and salty liquid surged in his eyes for no reason.
Not only himself, but even the three people behind him, Tianxiang could feel their bodies trembling slightly. An indescribable sadness completely enveloped the four men at that moment.
Humans, this is the human beings who once ruled the earth, once had more than a few billion people and created countless glory and civilizations!
"What help can you help us?" The female voice just now sounded from the crowd again. Following the sound source, Tianxiang easily found its owner - a woman who looked nearly middle-aged and relatively burly. It can be seen that she should be the leader of this small female group.
However, like other women, her clothes were as thin as she was. Moreover, she was farther away from the fire.
"I will give you whatever you need!" Tianxiang almost blurted out this sentence. If it weren't for the reason in his mind, he might have taken out the jerky insects and handed them over with infinite pity.
Because these women are so pitiful. They are so pitiful that they want to cry when they see them.
Gentleness and friendliness are the best qualities of mankind. Selflessly helping everyone in need is an act that was praised by ancient humans. Tianxiang understands this very well, and is also preparing to do so. He will help them, give them enough food and warmth, and let them safely survive this cold winter in a comfortable environment.
However, such help must not be provided free of charge.
"I can give you food, fuel, and the best place to hide from the wind and snow." Tianxiang forcibly suppressed his excitement and said coldly in a tone without any emotion.
Hearing this sentence, all the women couldn't help but turn their eyes to this side. It is not difficult to see how great the appeal of Tianxiang's words to them was to them.
"Food? Fuel?" The female leader shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Yes, we need it very much. But..."
Tianxiang didn't say anything, and looked at the woman opposite him quietly. He was waiting for the unfinished words behind him.
"You have seen our situation, and I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't bring out anything that can be exchanged with you." After a long silence, the female leader seemed to have made up his mind and finally said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"You still have people, you can use people to exchange." Tianxiang's face still could not see any emotional fluctuations. He still looked cold. However, this sentence caused a whisper in the crowd with obvious fear and fear.
"...Are you mean, a flesh man?" the female leader asked in surprise and angrily. The spear drooping in his hand was raised high again. The sharp spear tip pointed to Tianxiang's eyebrows again. Under her guidance, the women sitting on the ground stood up one after another, repeating the same movements as their leader. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"No!" A kind smile suddenly appeared on Tianxiang's cold face: "It's not a flesh man, I want you to join my tribe and become my tribe."
"Join you?" The surprised expression on the female leader's face became even stronger.
"Yes! Join us!" Tianxiang increased his tone.
Women are probably the most controversial individuals among humans in the dark world. On the one hand, they do not have too strong power to undertake the main tasks of hunting and can only rely on men to survive. Therefore, in the eyes of many male hunters, a creature like a woman is actually dispensable. As a result, many female meat people have emerged. After all, the best way to deal with a waste that cannot be hunted and feeds itself is to kill and eat meat.
On the other hand, women are indispensable companions for difficult people. Although the source of food is quite single, they are not hungry every day. Once they are full, men will always have a very wonderful feeling. They need women, want to push them to the ground, and want to have primitive communication with them. It is precisely because of this that many women will regard love with men as an alternative source for obtaining food.
After all, it is much easier to exchange food with a man after a meal than to face a terrible bug with a spear gun on his own.
What's more, you can also enjoy a certain pleasant feeling and stimulation from it.
Although, there are not many opportunities like this.
In this way, women have a very awkward position among hunters. On the one hand, when there is enough food, men need their bodies. On the other hand, when there is no prey, men will fill them with the best food. There are many such examples. Women who are often kissed and touched by men as treasures the day before, but when they wake up, they are frightened to find that the man who has just finished having sex with them is holding a piece of fresh fat meat covered with* and chewing them with relish. The source of the meat is his hands or legs. It may also be a soft and tender part on his waist or chest...
All in all, women have no place among hunters. They are just a group of tools used to vent, a group of the most delicious meats when hungry.
Therefore, the only way for a woman to survive is to form a new hunting group independently.
As for joining other ethnic groups and becoming one of them, this kind of thing has never happened. Except for some women who have raised a large population for the ethnic group, it is impossible for other female hunters to join them.
After all, food is precious. No one wants to waste a piece of jerky that fills his stomach in exchange for a woman who only knows how to eat and don’t hunt.
Therefore, Tianxiang's suggestions will surprise women, which is completely understandable.
"You want us to join your tribe? Are you serious?" The female leader was still surprised, but there was already some joy in it. The spear in his hand couldn't help but hang down.
Tianxiang nodded affirmatively.
"But...but, but, you also see, we are all women...you also know, women...our abilities..." The female leader's voice gradually became a little lonely in excitement. She knew the rules between hunters and the status of women in the dark world. No ethnic group would take in a group of weak women out of thin air. Unless this ethnic group needs women to give birth to a child in order to keep their population reproduction. Or some ethnic groups with strong power and sufficient food need women to satisfy the men's desire that cannot be vented. Or, they need a group of slaves, a group of slaves who sew clothes and roast food for themselves. All of these may be the reason why the male ethnic group takes in women.
But no matter how unacceptable these reasons seem, they are always much better than the tragic fate of becoming a meat man. After all, even if you use your body as a tool for men to vent, you can finally be alive and you can still ensure that you have a mouthful of food that will continue your life. But once you become a meat man, the only result will be to act as a meal in the mouth of others.
Although, before that, you can have some full meals.
Moreover, compared with the current dilemma of hunger and cold, nothing is more tempting than a piece of fragrant barbecue and a pile of warm flames.
What's more, the man in front of him has already agreed: he will never turn himself into a flesh man.
"...Okay!" After carefully comparing the current situation and carefully comparing it, the female leader finally sighed and said, "I promised your conditions that everyone here will join your tribe. As long as you can keep your promise and not treat us as meat people, then we will also agree to all your requests."
Hearing her words, the women sitting in front of the fire took off their clothes knowingly. With the boldest posture, they showed their bodies in front of Tianxiang. Even the most hidden breasts and Yin parts were the same.
Although, doing so will make them even colder. The little warmth that has finally accumulated in their bodies has also disappeared without a trace during the unscrupulous display.
This is the rule in the dark world and the iron law between hunters. As long as you agree to the mercenary's request, you will become his private property. As the master, you have the right to understand the things that belong to you most in detail. The vassal must also let the master understand the advantages and disadvantages of his body at the first time. That feeling is like when you just hunt a bug, you are carefully distinguishing which piece of meat on the retained body is the most plump.
Although, they are not insects, nor are they some kind of lifeless object. They are humans, living people.
Women's dignity and reserve are gone at this moment. Some are just the extreme desire for food due to hunger, and the most basic requirement to completely get rid of the threat of cold.
For a person suffering from severe cold and hunger, a piece of worm meat and a pile of campfires are undoubtedly the most luxurious and luxurious satisfaction.
