Happy death in the reincarnation world

"Master West said that resources must be developed sustainably. It is because we don't understand this truth that our god will abandon us and take away all the food." Daisy's tone was extremely sacred and Respect: "Master West said that as punishment, we should become our own food. Then, he led us to build farms, freed us from endless hunger, helped us build five cities in the desert, and provided us with brought unprecedented technology.”

"At that time, there were very few human beings left, so Master West told us that food should be sustainable, so they scattered us among the four cities in the south, east, north, and west, and personally selected some people who served him to bring his The race settled in the central city. Then that year, Lord West sent down the first batch of outlanders. Through the struggle among outlanders, the winner's city was determined. The remaining three failed cities will become for 'food'."

Three cities in one go?Will the population not be wiped out in large numbers?

"In this way, how can you ensure your population reproduction?" Osamu Dazai frowned slightly: "Will it not cause a large decline in population?"

"That's why it shows Lord West's brilliance!" Daisy said in admiration: "Master West said that we humans are full of terrible reproductive creatures just like mice and cockroaches. With such a small amount, the population can expand rapidly by thousands or tens of thousands of times. The more people, the less 'food'. Whenever this happens, foreigners like you will come to us and start to choose new ones. A round of 'food'."

"Then, the nobles in those failed cities will automatically be reduced to commoners, and the commoners will be scattered and sent to the four farms to become 'food'. Not only the nobles in the victorious cities can get more food, even those low-ranking commoners, It can also become a brand new nobleman and be sent to the other three cities."

noble?civilian?

It seems that the world is divided into three classes, nobles, commoners and food?

No wonder people in the city dress so extravagantly.

"The nobles live in the city?" Osamu Dazai asked.

Daisy nodded.

"Are you a noble too?"

"Of course. Those who can stay in the city are all nobles."

"Where do the civilians live?"

"They live near the farms, or the civilian areas near the central city." While speaking, the car had already driven outside the city, and Daisy pointed to the distance: "Here, it's there."

Osamu Dazai looked at her pointing. Not far away, there were large stretches of low-rise buildings intertwined in the yellow sand. Look, it's hard to spot these buildings.

The distribution of buildings is quite dense, judging from the area seen so far, it should be far larger than the area of ​​the city.

Some people can be seen shuttling among the buildings. They are worn out and their faces are dull. It seems that they are in a state of starvation all year round, and their lives are completely turned upside down with the nobles in the city.

"Why can't civilians live in the city?" Osamu Dazai asked again, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: How can this be a civilian?It's just a slum!

"Because they are responsible for taking care of the farm." Daisy took it for granted: "Originally they still had some jobs as cleaners to allow them to enter the city, but then the technology that Lord West sent us created all kinds of things. All kinds of robots that replace human beings, their value is only left to take care of the farm.”

Osamu Dazai pursed his lips and looked out the window, without speaking.

The car drove for another half an hour, and after passing through some civilian areas, a huge, modern metal building appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and this was a farm.

In terms of area, the farm is even larger than the civilian area. According to Daisy, if you continue driving south along the farm, you can reach the central city in less than half a day.However, if it is Zhongye in the Central Plains, it is basically a matter of flying for an hour.

Daisy parked the car at the gate of the farm, and the two stood in front of the huge metal gate with different attitudes.

Osamu Dazai turned his head to look at Daisy, and saw that she folded her hands, her eyes were closed, and she was praying for something. She was clearly in a blood-type farm, but she felt inexplicably sacred.

After waiting, Daisy took Osamu Dazai into the farm with the city name card she carried with her.

As soon as he opened the door, he didn't smell the nasty stench. To Osamu Dazai's surprise, the farm was actually a building modeled on a city, and there were also people living here, but their operating area was now wrapped piece by piece. In the grid, countless grids are pieced together to form a huge farm, full of a weird sense of future technology.

"These... are also food?" Osamu Dazai pointed to one of the grids.The central part of the outer wall of the grid is made of transparent glass, so you can see every move in the house.The person living in this grid is a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. He has beautiful short blond hair and a pair of green pupils like a Persian cat. He is very beautiful.The young man has an outstanding temperament and is well-dressed. He is holding a book and reading something at the moment, and the civilian-shaped person he saw earlier is taking care of him, helping him clean up, cooking and eating--it's like a Delicate little master.

Daisy nodded: "Of course, the only people living on the farm are 'food'!" When it came to food, Daisy's topic was completely opened up, and she said with great interest: "This is a cultivation area for high-end ingredients. In order to make the meat more tender and delicious, the farm specially opened up this area, selected the best breed of babies, and let them live in these special training rooms, where civilians took care of their daily life and taught them the ability to read and write. Wait until they When it grows to 16 years old, it can be officially processed and sold."

But she quickly thought of something, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Dazai, you can't buy the ingredients here yet."

"Why?" Osamu Dazai pretended to be a little angry and asked back, "It's not that I can't afford it."

"Of course I know this, but this is a private part. Every ingredient is ordered by the nobles in advance, and will be sent to the residence of the nobles on a regular basis after they meet the usage standards. Or when they want to eat, they can also You can process these ingredients in advance." Daisy was a little embarrassed: "If you want to buy ingredients at this time, you can only try your luck in the high-end ingredients area to see if you can find foods that have not been reserved for additional cultivation. Or you can only go to the ordinary production area to buy."

"You should have told me about this kind of thing earlier!" Dazai Osamu pretended to be helpless, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Then do you have the ingredients you ordered? Can I buy some from you?"

Daisy shook her head, a little embarrassed: "Although I am a nobleman, I haven't reached the position where I can order ingredients."

Speaking of which, Daisy is also considered a service industry in the city, so she belongs to the lower class among the nobles?

Osamu Dazai pursed his lips and did not speak, but from the corner of his eye he carefully looked at every grid around him.

In each grid lived such a boy or girl, and some were younger.They had innocent smiling faces, gentle and sensible demeanor, and expectations for the future flashed in their eyes. If they didn't know that this was a farm, they would only be regarded as the young masters and young ladies of aristocratic families.

It's really ironic when you think about it, in order to make it 'more delicious', such an environment was deliberately built, and even let these children learn knowledge, no longer like livestock waiting to be slaughtered, unconscious and unthinking.

When one day these energetic and hopeful children who recognize themselves as "human beings" are suddenly told at the age of 16 or even earlier that they were actually born as 'food', and the objects that eat them are just like them. As a human being, I don't know how I would feel.

How cruel.He could have died decently as a human being, but was forcibly given the opportunity to survive by the higher planes, living in endless darkness, and even the noble death that only happened once in a lifetime became so sad.

Osamu Dazai withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at them.

Because the farm is large enough, it is impossible for the two of them to reach the area where they can buy ingredients by relying on their feet alone.There are not many nobles like Daisy who come to the farm to choose food in person. For their convenience, the farm is specially equipped with scooter.

Commoners who work on farms can also take scooters, but the difference between the scooters that nobles can ride is basically the difference between electric tricycles and extended Lincolns.

The scooter is completely operated by the computer system. Hearing the human-like AI broadcast sound in the cab, Osamu Dazai's heart moved slightly.

Technology in this world...and AI and robots everywhere...

No, there is still too little information.

Osamu Dazai focused his attention on the central city mentioned by Daisy, where the existence known as West and his race lived.As the final place of competition, it must be quite critical.

But looking at the history here, hundreds of years have passed since the war of that year. Can West survive for so long?

The speed of the scooter was quite fast, Dazai Osamu was still thinking secretly, the car had already arrived at the destination.

"This is the common ingredients cultivation area." Daisy introduced to Osamu Dazai courteously, "We can buy the freshest food by going directly to the ingredients processing area."

However, Osamu Dazai did not go in the direction Daisy pointed, but pointed in the opposite direction and asked, "Can I go there and have a look?"

The place where Osamu Dazai pointed was written [Cultivation Area No. [-]]. Unlike the incubators seen before, the incubator here is completely enclosed, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside.And there are hundreds of cultivation areas like this around Osamu Dazai alone.However, relatively speaking, the overall area is not as large as the high-end ingredients area.

Daisy chuckled lightly: "Mr. Dazai really looks like the students when my school organized a visit to the farm when I was young. Everything is fresh."

"Who asked me to come here for the first time?" Osamu Dazai spread his hands helplessly: "I have always been interested in ingredients, but I just couldn't find the opportunity to see their cultivation process in person."

"Then I can't upset Mr. Dazai's heart." Daisy said: "It's just a visit, and there is no problem with this matter."

In fact, when the civilians here saw Daisy and confirmed her noble status, they immediately became groveling and kept their stance extremely low. If it weren't for the modern buildings here, Osamu Dazai would have almost mistakenly thought that he had returned to the middle Ages.

Even without the assistance of civilians, Daisy can easily open the door of the training barn with her ID card.Osamu Dazai secretly glanced at the card in Daisy's hand, and silently remembered this matter in his heart.

Walking into the cultivation warehouse, a scene completely different from the high-end ingredients area appeared in front of Osamu Dazai.

The training chamber has the feeling of a test area in a sci-fi movie. It is a white closed research room, separated by a huge glass in the middle. The researchers stand outside the glass to observe everything and make adjustments at any time.

But the researchers here have become civilians, and the creatures in the research room... Osamu Dazai doesn't know whether to call her a "human being".

It can be seen from the appearance that all the people in the research room are women. They are fixed on the machine, naked【】, with deformed and twisted bodies, huge lower limbs, and high arched abdomen, full of visual impact.

"These are mother bodies." Daisy introduced: "In order to speed up the speed of food reproduction, scientists have developed a special potion that can shorten the gestation time from nine months to one month." Daisy pointed to the woman beside her : "After the mother gives birth, it will be treated quickly by the machine, and then the machine will conceive again and continue to give birth." Daisy's tone is a little proud: "With our current technology, we can guarantee that there will be at least four people in one child! Great! Increased production!"

Just as Daisy was speaking, one of the women suddenly wailed, but her eyes were still dead, without any sign of thinking, just a reflex purely due to physical pain.And when the woman was crying, a huge mechanical hand stretched out from the machine that fixed her, directly cut open the woman's stomach, and took out five babies from it.The next moment, a bright green light appeared on the mechanical hand. Under the envelope of the light, the wound on the woman's body was healed immediately, and it was impossible to see that a huge hole had been cut.

After the cure was complete, the woman regained her dull expression, and the machine that fixed her changed again, wrapping part of her lower body, indicating that she was about to start conception.And the huge robotic arm threw the five babies onto the conveyor belt aside.

The conveyor belt carried five babies and sent them to the next room. Daisy took Osamu Dazai and moved forward with the conveyor belt.

As soon as they entered the next room, they stretched out two robotic hands to quickly distinguish the babies on the conveyor belt and put them on different conveyor belts.

"This is differentiating food." Daisy said: "Women will be left as mothers, and men will be raised directly as food." Daisy smacked her lips: "Actually, women's meat is more tender. , but there is not enough food, we can only eat men's food."

Obviously, he was also born as a human being, but he said such words without changing his face, which makes people shudder.

Osamu Dazai tried his best to suppress his emotions and continued to walk along the conveyor belt.In the next room, the babies were picked up again by robotic hands and stuffed into huge bottles filled with green liquid.Both their mouths and lower bodies were stuffed into a tube, one for food and one for excrement.

"This is a rapid culture medium." Daisy said again: "In the culture medium, they only need one year to reach the size of 16 years old, and then they can be processed." While speaking, a culture bottle was opened, and the mechanical arm A man who looked like he weighed at least three hundred catties was caught out. The man's eyes were dull and he didn't even struggle.

The next moment, a huge electric current suddenly surged on the mechanical hand, and the man had no time to react, but within a second, his body stiffened instantly.

Daisy's voice rang in Dazai's ears again: "In order not to cause pain to the food, we used electric current to end their lives as quickly as possible. Isn't it very humanitarian?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Even he, who is well-informed, is speechless at the moment.

Daisy, who was beside her, looked at the stiff corpse and began to imagine what kind of food she would make.

Osamu Dazai watched everything in silence, and sighed inaudibly.

This world is simply a hell.
