Chapter 139 - 134: In a Little Garden, Dig, Dig, Dig...

Chapter 139: Chapter 134: In a Little Garden, Dig, Dig, Dig...

A beast-like roar suddenly exploded in their ears.

Leng Feng and the others couldn’t help but pale.

The reason was simple: the sound was terrifying.

In stark contrast, the Superpower Users from the West City Rescue Base that Mengde had subdued all had faces filled with terror.

They hadn’t been this afraid even when facing death while fighting Mengde’s subordinates moments ago.

But now, this was how they looked.

Brother Jingfu stepped forward and asked.

"You know him?"

"Yeah. He’s a monster."

"That’s right, a man-eating monster."

"So many of our brothers... were eaten by that monster."

"..."

On the way here, Mengde had learned a lot about the base from Gao Qiu.

The monster these guards spoke of was none other than the leader of this very West City Rescue Base.

According to Gao Qiu, the base’s daily affairs were managed by their three Tier Four Superpower Users. The leader rarely involved himself. He usually just stayed inside the air-raid shelter, feeding.

Mengde recalled that Yu Hualong, whom he had encountered before, had also only transformed after activating his Superpower, becoming the Thousand-legged Corpse-Eating Insect that gnawed on stone steps.

However, considering this thing was so close to his own base, Mengde decided it was best to eliminate this future threat as soon as possible.

Besides, he was already planning to wipe out the West City Base; he couldn’t just let the leader go.

So, he forced a West City Guard to lead the way.

Mengde and his group arrived at the mountain behind the base.

The mountain was desolate. Mengde didn’t see a single person on the way up.

’Oh, right. Given this leader’s disposition, even if there were people here, they’ve probably been eaten.’

Following the path up the mountain, the group soon stopped before a large door.

The words "Air-Raid Shelter" were clearly written above the doorframe.

The large granary Gao Qiu had mentioned was also inside this air-raid shelter.

The moment they arrived, a sharp, putrid stench assaulted their nostrils.

Mengde and his men couldn’t help but frown.

The air-raid shelter’s main door was ajar, the kind you could enter without breaking it down.

Still, just in case, Mengde scanned the area with his Telekinesis Perception.

He almost wished he hadn’t. The scan was utterly nauseating.

The shelter’s corridor was long and narrow.

It ran long and deep.

Probably about a hundred meters or so.

The area closer to the entrance wasn’t so bad.

But the farther in he looked, the more unbearable the sight became.

The depths of the corridor were covered in bloodstains.

It was so thick it looked like a heavy "blood carpet" had been laid on the floor.

Swarms of flies, mosquitoes, and other insects covered its surface.

It emanated a... suffocating, vomit-inducing smell.

Countless white maggots squirmed frantically within it.

For anyone with trypophobia...

...this place would be a nightmare.

But if a survival vlogger saw this, they’d definitely say something like:

"This is packed with protein! My followers can have the first bite!"

A guaranteed carnivorous feast, even more nutritious than beef!

As for Mengde, a man of simple ambitions who just wanted to be banging a Goddess every day, it was nothing but disgusting.

At the end of the corridor, the path split in two.

One way led to a massive cavern.

It was as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out.

The space was dry and currently stored a huge amount of supplies.

And by huge, he meant truly massive.

It would be enough to feed his Yulong Base for a hundred years!

Mengde didn’t look closely, his attention quickly drawn to the other fork in the path.

It was a freezer.

Probably a pre-apocalypse "granary freezer."

He could see refrigeration machinery hidden within the walls.

Though not as large as the cavern next door, the space was still sizable.

It was probably comparable to the ground floor of one of his patrons’ villas.

What was stored inside wasn’t just ordinary meat.

Oh, no.

To be precise, it was meat, but not the conventional kind from livestock.

It was twenty to thirty fresh human corpses.

He didn’t have to think.

This was undoubtedly the leader’s private "granary."

The sight was utterly horrifying.

Even that TV show he’d seen before the apocalypse, called "Bleach"...

...was child’s play compared to this.

The most terrifying thing was the giant ball of flesh next to the furnace.

It was currently humming a happy tune.

"In a little garden, I dig and I dig and I dig."

"Plant some little seeds, and grow some little flowers..."

In this environment...

...the pleasant children’s song sounded downright eerie.

The ball of flesh was enormous, about three meters tall and wide, and completely naked.

Only certain parts were covered by a heavy overcoat.

Its excess flesh sagged to the floor.

It looked just like a Great Unclean One of Nurgle from a certain video game!

A pile of meat just sat there, making it impossible to tell if it was standing or sitting.

’This is the leader of the West City Rescue Base?’

’Are you sure he’s not some final boss from a video game?’

Just as Mengde was about to check the system information...

...the leader, who had just been singing happily, suddenly twitched his nose.

A savage grin instantly spread across his bloodstained face.

"Ghehehe... Fresh meat, delivered right to my door!"
