Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 293: Human Cultivation

Hearing someone speak words similar to his own, Alex immediately shows a pleased expression and asks the questioning man, "Of course, I am human. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The man continues to scrutinize Alex for a while before carefully saying, "You... look... very different from the people here... but... the words you speak... are the same as ours...

I can understand... as for them... they have been raised in cages since childhood... so they know nothing..." Discover stories with M-V-L

Alex feels a bit embarrassed. Of course, they are different; these people can hardly be considered humans. They are more like livestock.

Wait!

These people have been raised in cages since childhood?

Alex is slightly shocked. From the man's words, he gathers a significant piece of information: the people here are indeed cultivated!

Moreover, they have been raised in captivity since childhood!

"How can you speak? Also, who raised you? What is their purpose in cultivating you?" Alex curiously inquires.

The man's expression turns painful. "We... are raised by vampires... our world... is now ruled by vampires... the reason we are still alive...

is because we can provide them with food... we, humans... are now similar to livestock... most people here... have been cultivated since childhood... their ancestors were also raised as food...

and as for me... in the words of the vampires... I am game..."

The more Alex hears, the more shocked and disturbed he becomes.

This world has actually been ruled by vampires! Moreover, humans have become the ruled, only able to continue their existence by providing blood to vampires for reproduction!

"I am a member of the resistance... Even though vampires have already taken control of this world... our human resistance... has never stopped... We, humans... will never...

and absolutely cannot... become livestock for vampires!"

As the man speaks, tears stream down his face, his eyes filled with unwillingness and pain. Alex also wears a solemn expression. He never expected that noble humans would become a food source for other creatures, akin to being livestock.

This revelation is hard for him to accept. After all, in Alex's eyes, he is also a member of the human race. These people, in some way, are his kin! Seeing his fellow humans enslaved by vampires, treated like livestock, how could Alex not be furious?

"Tell me the specific situation..."

Just as Alex is about to inquire further about the specifics of this world, the iron door of the prison cell emits a series of collision and friction sounds.

Someone is coming!

More precisely, a vampire is coming!

The prison cell's gate is opened. In the dim candlelight, a figure wearing a farmworker's uniform gradually becomes visible.

With a mental command, Alex activates the Invisibility skill, and his entire body suddenly disappears from the original spot.

The newcomer looks quite ugly, wearing a dirty and worn-out farmworker's uniform, with even a hint of the smell of excrement. Additionally, the newcomer appears to be quite old, likely in their fifties or sixties.

Alex squints his eyes, carefully examining the newcomer.

This person doesn't seem much different from humans, except for a pair of fangs in their mouth. The skin appears somewhat pale, but otherwise, they look similar to the farm administrators in the world where Alex was previously.

"Time to eat, you dogs! Only when you're well-fed can you produce more blood, hahaha!"

The farm administrator pulls out a small cart from behind and pours some seemingly disgusting substance into a trough in one of the prison cells.

Although the food looks unpleasant, the smell is surprisingly good. Upon closer inspection, it seems to be a mixture of rice, vegetables, and meat.

As soon as the food is poured into the trough, the humans, who were previously anxious, quickly climb up and start frantically fighting over the food.

The farm administrator sneaks a glance outside the door, then gently closes it, turning to grab a woman with disheveled long hair, dragging her to the side, and then grinning in a lewd manner.

"Darn it! It's so damn hard to find a female vampire now! Those old bastards have three or four wives, and I, damn it, am stuck being a bachelor! Working hard every day, and still damn it, no wife!"

This vampire mumbles for a while and then starts clumsily taking off their pants.

"Though these humans are a bit disgusting, playing with them can still be enjoyable..."

Alex frowns, observing the farm administrator and the woman.

By normal human aesthetic standards, the woman is actually quite attractive, with a good figure. However, due to lack of grooming and malnutrition, she appears somewhat messy and lacks refinement.

In the world before the apocalypse, such a woman would have been considered...

A scum like this farm administrator isn't even worthy of holding someone else's shoes! However, now this woman lies on the ground like a pig or a dog, letting the farm administrator do as he pleases.

Her gaze is numb and vacant, her movements slow and clumsy.

Alex can't help but shake his head, gaining some preliminary understanding of this distorted world.

Of course, the vampire farm administrator in front of him obviously doesn't possess much strength. It seems to be no different from a regular human.

Unable to tolerate the situation any longer, Alex's blade flashes, and the farm administrator's head rolls to the ground.

In death, he never understood how he inexplicably lost his head.

Alex slowly recedes his invisibility, reappearing in the prison cell.

"Are all these vampires as useless as this one?"

Alex points at the dead vampire on the ground and asks.

The man who spoke to Alex earlier shakes his head, "This is the lowest level among vampires. Regular vampires have strong combat abilities, and they have guns and ammunition. It's difficult for us to engage them in direct combat."

Guns and artillery don't pose much threat to Alex, as these conventional weapons hardly affect him. Only weapons with immense destructive power, such as nuclear or hydrogen bombs, might pose a threat.

As for whether they can kill him, Alex himself doesn't know. After all, he now possesses the ability of immortality.

"I mean, do these people all have similar physical constitutions? Do they have any unique abilities?"

Alex continues to inquire.
