Volume 1 Animal World Chapter 5 Hot Pot

"What's going on——" Yuan Yuan screamed in horror, "Is it me? Is it going to kill me? Help——Help——Help me——Help me——"
"Yuan'er--Yuan'er--" Dong Dong was anxious. He jumped up desperately to reach Yuan Yuan, but the giant bull was too high. Yuan Yuan was lifted in the air, still several floors above the ground.
"What should we do?! What should we do?! Is there any way? Tell me! Tell me quickly!" Dong Dong grabbed Qin Ci's shoulders anxiously, "Save him - please, save him -"
Qin Ci looked at him with pity and helplessness: "There is no way, the gap is too big. We can only try to hide from the power in the painting, but there is no way to confront it head-on."
"No - no - Yuan'er - Yuan'er -" Dong Dong looked at Yuan Yuan's figure struggling desperately with his neck clamped by the giant bull, and roared heartbreakingly. However, the facts made him so powerless and helpless. He could only watch him and another person in the painting who was picked up by the giant bull struggling and crying, making the last effort of their lives as pitifully as an ant trying to shake a tree.
Ju Niu carried the two people away slowly. All the compartments were filled with chaotic noises. Some people were screaming, some were laughing, some were singing, and some were fighting with great enthusiasm.
They seemed to be used to it all, yet also seemed foolishly not to understand it all. They were like a group of low-level animals who were truly kept and only knew how to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, without being aware of their own fate as the butcher's chopping block. They foolishly reveled, foolishly lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, and foolishly realized the sadness of their own lives only at the last moment.
Dong Dong fell to his knees and cried bitterly. No one came forward to comfort him because no words could comfort him at that moment.
Wei Dong's eyes were red and he felt sympathetic. He slowly walked to sit beside Ke Xun and whispered, "If I die, you don't have to be so sad. Death only takes a moment. After death, there will be no pain. You won't know anything. There is nothing to be sad about."
"I can resist not being sad," Ke Xun put his arms on his knees, his eyes gently falling on a certain empty space in front of him, "but I can't resist not missing you."
"You fucking bastard..." Wei Dong choked, put the back of his hand on his mouth and refused to say .
Everyone was silent when suddenly someone in the same dormitory shouted, "Look, what are they doing?"
Following the sound, I saw that through the window of the fence I could see what was happening in the yard outside the farmhouse.
The giant bull that had just been carrying Yuan Yuan and three or four people who had been picked out walked into the yard. Another giant bull came into view with a huge narrow-bladed knife between its hooves. Two more giant bulls were placing huge tables and chairs and a copper pot with burning charcoal in the yard.
Ke Xun suddenly realized something and turned to look at Mu Yiran. Mu Yiran received his gaze, stood up and walked to Dong Dong who was still crying, reached out and pinched his neck, and soon squeezed him to the ground.
Several people living in the same dormitory came to the window and looked out curiously. The window was very large, and even without going forward, they could still see the scene outside the courtyard.
A huge lamp was lit, and the giant bulls set up tables and chairs, brought out several plates of various vegetables and dipping sauces, and threw something that looked like hot pot base into the copper pot to cook.
On the other side, a giant bull placed a huge wooden barrel and held a sharp knife. Another giant bull weighed several humans in his hand and handed over the fattest one, Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan's terrified and shrill screams almost echoed throughout the entire yard and farmhouse, causing a chaotic commotion in the farmhouse.
The giant bull holding the knife moved leisurely and skillfully. He aimed the tip of the knife at Yuan Yuan's throat and cut deeply.
Thick blood continued to flow into the huge barrel beneath him. Yuan Yuan could no longer make any sound and could only struggle in pain, but he could not move an inch between the giant bull's hooves.
The giant bull lifted him upside down to make the blood flow faster and more thoroughly, until Yuan Yuan gradually stopped struggling and hung upside down on the giant bull's hooves, motionless, bleeding quietly.
When the blood in the cavity was drained, the giant bull used the tip of the knife to cut open Yuan Yuan's belly, took out the internal organs and intestines, and threw them into the basin next to the bucket. Then it used water to flush the abdominal cavity clean and peeled off the skin. Then a giant bull came over, took a special knife, and deftly and skillfully cut Yuan Yuan, who was left with only meat and bones, into slices of meat.
The meat slices were finally served on a plate and brought to the dining table of the giant bulls. They were picked up with chopsticks and thrown into the pot, stirred and dispersed. Blood foam floated in the soup, rolled a few times, and turned into white and turbid waste foam, which was skimmed off from the edge of the pot with a spoon.
When the soup was boiling, several pairs of chopsticks reached in, picked up the thin slices of meat that had turned grayish-pink, turned them over in the dipping sauce dish, and put them into the giant bull's belly.
The clattering of bowls and chopsticks, wine and dishes gradually became louder and louder, accompanied by the mooing of the giant cows that sounded like laughter, and was clearly transmitted through the window into the farmhouse.
Ke Xun heard some people saying “It smells so good”, some saying “I want to eat more”, and some people were horrified “Oh my God, they are dead”, but no one thought “Will it be my turn tomorrow?”
Wei Dong and Bi Jing vomited in a pile in the corner. Qin Ci and Zhu Haowen sat far away from the window, with their heads tilted towards the direction of the gate.
Only Mu Yiran stood beside him, his face calm and indifferent.
Seeing Ke Xun turned to look at him, Mu looked back in delight: "It's the expected result."
"It seems that in this painting, the positions of humans and cows have been swapped," Ke Xun said, "but don't cows only eat grass?"
"In this painting, you can think of them as carnivores," Mu said happily, "or more precisely, you can think of them as humans."
"There's nothing more terrifying than treating them as humans." Ke Xun sneered, "I hope they don't think about eating hot pot every day. After all, it's harmful to their health - if they also have the bad habits of humans."
The giant cows' dinner lasted until midnight. After eating and drinking their fill, the cows took a short break, cleaned up the remaining table, and then went into the farmhouse with hoses to clean up. They flushed the human feces and urine and leftovers into the sinks dug in each compartment, and only left after they had cleaned up.
Several people in the painting lay down on the wet ground and fell asleep immediately, while those outside the painting were still a little uncomfortable, so they all stood.
Ke Xun was squatting there fiddling with something. Qin Ci went over to take a look and saw that he was fiddling with a few Coke bottles. He couldn't help but wonder, "Weren't these washed away by the water just now?"
"This guy pulled me to block these things behind him. The cow was drunk and didn't pay attention." Wei Dong shook off the water that splashed all over his body when he tried to block the bottles.
"What are you keeping these bottles for?" Bi Jing asked hurriedly.
Ke Xun ignored him and just kept tinkering with his head down. After a few moments, he had arranged nine Coke bottles of equal size in three rows and three columns, and tied them together tightly with transparent tape pulled from other food packaging bags. Then he walked to Mu Yiran with the bottles, bent over and placed the bottles upside down next to his legs, and whispered, "Sit down."
Everyone: “…”
Mu Yiran paused and said, "Thank you." Sure enough, he sat on the bench made of the bottle, which was surprisingly sturdy.
Although Wei Dong was in a heavy mood, he couldn't help but whisper to Ke Xun who was walking back to him with his hair tied up: "How about I reluctantly let you be my temporary boyfriend for a few days? And take care of me."
"Stop fantasizing about me. A gay man won't have sex with two husbands." Ke Xun said.
Wei Dong: "...You are truly a chaste and loyal person. Sigh...you say, is this the end of the night?"
Ke Xun: "Well, it seems so, unless they want a midnight snack."
Wei Dong: "I wonder what will happen when Dong Dong wakes up tomorrow."
Ke Xun: "If I were him, I would cheer up and try my best to get out alive, and then make arrangements for Yuan Yuan's family."
In fact, Dong Dong was indeed very strong. When he woke up early the next morning, he no longer immersed himself in the grief of his friend's death. He just sat there in silence and did not touch the breakfast fed by Juniu.
After breakfast, Giant Bull opened the fence door of the compartment and let people move freely on the lawn outside the farmhouse.
Off-screen, people gathered together and walked around consciously to survey the terrain.
However, this farm was just as Mu Yiran said, too big and wide. After a whole morning, he still couldn't find the edge of the farm. Instead, he saw another farmhouse in the distance behind this farmhouse. On the grass in front of the farmhouse, dozens of naked women were sitting and lying in groups of three or five.
"My two classmates must be over there!" Bi Jing couldn't see anything clearly, but after hearing everyone's description, he jumped up and down anxiously.
"So what, are you going to go over there or let them come over?" Ke Xun said.
"..." Bi Jing stopped dancing and muttered unhappily, "I... I just want a companion..."
"You don't consider us as your companions, right?" Wei Dong snorted beside him.
"No, no..." Bi Jing stopped talking and stepped back to hide, but accidentally stepped on the foot of a person in the painting.
The man pushed him hard and said angrily, "Are you blind? Are you looking for death?!"
Bi Jing was so scared that he apologized quickly, but the man refused to give in. He came over, grabbed Bi Jing's hair and tried to pull his head to knock it on his knees.
Dong Dong who was standing next to him suddenly jumped up, rushed forward and knocked the man to the ground with one punch, then followed without saying a word, pinned the man down and beat him to death with a desperate posture.
Bi Jing was frightened by Dong Dong, and he retreated and dodged with his mouth open. Ke Xun stepped forward to stop Dong Dong, but he was pushed away by him so hard that he failed to stop him.
Dong Dong was like a madman, hitting the man's head again and again with his fists. The man's skin was torn and blood was all over his face, but Dong Dong still refused to stop.
Perhaps Yuan Yuan's death had given him a strong shock and stimulation, and he seemed to want to vent all the grief and anger caused by this shock through violence.
Ke Xun wanted to step forward to stop them, but was blocked by a group of people in the painting who suddenly rushed over and made noises. A group of people surrounded Dong Dong and the person in the painting who was being beaten. Some of them made a fuss, some cursed, and some took the opportunity to help the black boxing, but no one stepped forward to dissuade them.
Just as the noise was getting out of hand, someone suddenly shouted and the crowd suddenly became quiet. They saw a man called Mo Xun walking slowly towards them, surrounded by a group of people. The crowd immediately parted to make way for him.
Mo Xun walked up to Dong Dong who was still punching him, raised his leg and kicked him on the shoulder, kicking the 1.9-meter-tall sturdy man six or seven meters away.
Dong Dong got up from the ground and rushed towards Mo Mao with his fists waved. Mo Mao was like a rooster, arrogant, cold, sharp, and staring at Dong Dong coldly with an unbending look.
Dong Dong rushed forward, punching and kicking, but Mo Xie dodged them one by one. However, Mo Xie's counterattack was also quick, and each punch hit Dong Dong's flesh, causing him to stagger.
Ke Xun finally squeezed into the inner circle from the outer circle. Just as he was about to stop Dong Dong from attacking again, he heard a cow mooing in the distance: "Moo--"
Upon hearing the sound, Mo Xun suddenly turned around and walked towards the direction where the cow was mooing.
Weidong came close to Ke Xun and looked at Mo Mou's back: "No wonder he is called Mo Mou, the pronunciation of that cow's cry just now seemed to be 'Mo Mou (móu)'..."
It turns out that this is the nickname that giant cattle give to the "animals" they raise...
Ke Xun looked into the distance and saw a giant bull walking towards him. People scattered around in panic, looking at the giant bull furtively.
The giant bull walked closer, looked at the man who was beaten to the ground by Dong Dong, then looked at Dong Dong, Ke Xun and Wei Dong who were standing together. It seemed to weigh the pros and cons, and finally stretched out its giant hoof, picked up Dong Dong in its hand, and carried him, who was struggling frantically, towards the farmhouse in the distance.
