A farm that breeds gods and demons-Chapter 28 - 26 Conflict
28: Chapter 26 Conflict
28 -26 Conflict
The two police officers entered the supermarket, spotting the food strewn all over the floor.
Their eyes lit up, they rushed forward, each picking up a piece of bread to put in their mouths, before suddenly stopping as if remembering something.
They turned to look at Qin Jiagui and the others who had followed them in.
“Can we eat this?” One of the officers, who looked to be in his thirties, asked, obviously uncertain about the origin of the food.
Qin Jiagui nodded, his face full of confusion as he looked at the two men in police uniforms.
They seemed less like rescuers who could help them, and more like people who, like themselves, had been stranded in the forest.
Seeing Qin Jiagui nod, the officer sniffed the bread, finding it to be fresh.
He ate it and picked up a bottle of mineral water from the ground.
He gulped down most of it in a single breath, then let out a sigh of relief.
His face regained some of its spirit.
The younger officer had found some cigarettes from one of the shelves.
He tore open a packet, put one in his mouth, and threw another to the older officer.
The older officer caught the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
He looked at the group standing in front of him, took a puff, then said, “I’m Yu Guozhi, and this is Sun Da.
We’re police officers from the Jixian Police Station. freёnovelkiss.com
Are you students from a vocational technical college?
Is it just you guys here?
No teachers?”
Qin Jiagui turned to look at Lin Shi, saying, “I’m Qin Jiagui.
Among us, he’s the teacher.”
Yu Guozhi turned to Lin Shi, saying, “Teacher, what’s your situation?
Can you give us a report?” Clearly, he seemed disinclined to engage with the students, thinking that only a teacher would be worthy of representing the group and speaking with him on equal terms.
Lin Shi considered this for a moment, before replying, “Yesterday afternoon, at around two, our school suddenly appeared in this forest.
Right now, over a thousand students and faculty are trapped here.
We cannot enter or leave.
The food in the school is only enough for two days.
Our situation is very urgent…”
Before he could continue, Yu Guozhi held up his hand to interrupt him.
“I understand.
So you guys have been sent out from the school to investigate the surroundings, huh…” he mused.
Lin Shi simply responded affirmatively, unsure of how to continue.
Zhao Shichang said, “Officer Yu, I’m asking you…
You guys…
Are you like us?
What the hell is the reason for all this…?”
Everyone had been elated when Yu Guozhi and Sun Da first appeared, but now their enthusiasm had dampened.
Seeing the officers act so hungrily, it seemed they were in an even worse state than themselves.
Relying on them for help seemed unlikely.
After taking another puff of his cigarette, Yu Guozhi finally answered, “It’s simple, we don’t know the reason either.
But we were indeed brought to this forest.
All of our communication with the outside world has been cut off.
Now, we’re just as you see us, like dogs without a home.
Perhaps, all of this is just a cruel joke played by some force, or perhaps we’re all just dreaming…”
Pausing here, he harshly flicked his cigarette away, “Who the hell can explain what’s going on?
I’d love to find someone to ask about this myself.”
As Yu Guozhi began yelling at everyone, Qin Jiagui and the others remained silent.
Suddenly, Wei Zhangming spoke up, “A joke?
I’ve thought of something.
Maybe it can explain everything.”
“Hm?” Yu Guozhi directed his gaze towards him, his eyes holding a hint of ferocity.
Feeling everyone’s attention on him, Wei Zhangming cleared his throat before saying, “I don’t know if any of you have watched ‘The Truman Show’?
In the film, the character Truman lives in a world created by others.
Everything he believes is real is actually fabricated by a powerful media corporation.
He lives his whole life inside a reality TV show, while everyone else knows the truth.
Could it be that we’re in a situation similar to ‘The Truman Show’?
We’ve been placed in a location created by some powerful force, fighting, fleeing, struggling, while the whole world watches our performance on TV?”
As he finished, his voice wavered slightly, feeling a chill crawl down his spine.
Yu Guozhi stared at Wei Zhangming, not saying a word.
The younger officer, Sun Da, scorned, “If this is a man-made fabrication, I think only aliens would be capable of such a feat.
At least here on Earth, no country’s technology is advanced enough to create such an effect.”
Wei Zhangming’s face turned red.
Upon reflection, he recognized the absurdity of his idea.
Moving an entire school to the forest in a matter of seconds, creating green monsters, and the incredible powers they obtained after killing the monsters – all of these were far beyond human capabilities.
If this were a man-made scenario, only aliens could pull it off.
“I just don’t know the reason why.
However, Su Yu once said this might be the ‘Heaven’s Pit.’ Our school and this supermarket may have fallen into this forest due to the ‘Heaven’s Pit.’ If it’s true, then we’re no longer in the world we used to live in.” Wei Zhangming exclaimed suddenly, having thought of something.
Yu Guozhi looked slightly taken aback but replied slowly, “That does make some sense.
But thinking about these things is of no use right now.
What we need to think about is how to survive.
Here, we have enough food to last us for half a month.
With that much time, we may be able to leave this forest and find out what the hell this place is.”
Yu Guozhi, despite being in his thirties, spoke crudely, the manner of a roughneck.
Qin Jiagui objected immediately, “No, we found the food first!
Our school has more than a thousand people, and they’re all waiting for our report.”
Yu Guozhi drew his gun instantly, aiming it straight at Qin Jiagui’s head.
“You got a problem with that, kid?” he barked.
Qin Jiagui clenched his fists, the back of his right hand immediately covered in a layer of black metallic skin, protecting his knuckles.
Sun Da stepped forward, shaking his head.
His tone was somewhat gentler as he said, “Don’t get us wrong.
We don’t mean any harm.
We’ve all been transported to this forest because of some inexplicable reason.
We should be helping each other.
With my buddy Guozhi and I, plus you guys, we have a good chance of getting out of this forest.
As for the thousands of students you mentioned…
We’re obviously concerned about them too.
However, we have to figure a way out first before we can help them.
Right, little brother?”
