n from above it and landed straight in my arms!"Little imp! I'm holding the soy milk!" I quickly covered it with one hand.Little Nibbles got all puffed up, and he didn't know what was going on. My bro...My grandfather once told me that when he was young, he went looking for a village of corpse-raisers. It wasn't on any map, he said its name was something like Mi Jiang Tuo Luo Xiang I can't remember.

Places erased on maps are definitely "out-of-the-way" locations. Countries cannot govern them and can only use special means to isolate these places. As long as they don't threaten the overall social environment, let them fend for themselves and gradually die out, like Huangdao Village.

I had been afraid for too long, my eyelids growing heavy in the slow, swaying motion. Finally, I drifted off to sleep.

》》》

When I woke up, I smelled a whiff of wood smoke and grass. My arm was yanked upwards with force, pulling my bones with an unsettling cracking sound.

Ouch!

I opened my eyes to see two women tying ropes around me.

My hands have already been bound and hung from the beam. They're lifting my legs now, spreading them into a wide 'M' shape with ropes. My kneecaps are also hooked onto the beam, so my whole body is suspended in an extremely humiliating position.

This pose, I only ever have it when I'm making love with Jiang Qiyun. To be suddenly suspended like this is truly embarrassing.

These two women were speaking in dialect I couldn't understand. Seeing that I was awake, one of them clapped her hands and laughed, "Oh my, you're finally awake! We're exhausted, tying up a sleeping person is so heavy!"

Her Mandarin also had an accent, she must be from this village. The other woman tied the other end of the rope to a pillar and walked over to nudge me.

I was pushed, staggering and reeling. My wrist felt like it was being crushed, a searing pain throbbing through me.

One of them looked to be in her thirties, and the other appeared to be in her early twenties.

"Big sister, this belly of yours must be good at giving birth, right" The young woman touched my stomach.

My lower abdomen is being pressed by both thighs, and the middle looks slightly protruding, clearly showing signs of pregnancy.

What are they trying to do... I'm so nervous, I kept muttering Jiang Qiyun's name in my head, but it didn't work at all.

"You have to wait until she gives birth to the one in her belly first... Hey, we're helping you by hanging you up, it's to widen your pelvic bones. Look at how small your frame is, it's not good for delivery. There are no conditions in our village to operate on you. If you can't deliver naturally, then...well..." The older woman chuckled.

My heart hammered: "You... what do you want to..."

Our Grand Elder wants what's in your belly. It's said to be a rare and precious Yin-Yang fetus, one that can be refined into a Corpse King!

As for the other men in our village... they want to get with you. They've all got it up just looking at you, so delicate and tender. Hee hee… Your breasts are big too, I wonder if your milk is enough to feed so many hungry wolves She said this while twisting me hard.

I instinctively flinched in pain, but the moment I moved, my wrist was yanked so hard it felt like it was going to dislocate.

The little girl laughed and said, "It's really a bargain for the brothers in the village. Why doesn't Sister Tian bring us back a few husbands I also want to have children."

"Little slut, what's the rush"

"Of course I'm in a hurry, I'm twenty years old and haven't had a child yet. The older brothers in the village treat me like a kid and don't take me with them to refine corpses or collect bodies...and when they see me, they run away! They won't even *love* me!" she huffed angrily.

I widened my eyes, what kind of worldview is this

That elder woman slapped her on the head and shouted, "People in the village are all related by blood. If you have children, there's a high chance they'll be born with problems! The Great Elder has said that incest is forbidden. Who dares to defy him! You little slut, stop tempting those brothers!"

“But you all became mothers at twenty! I'm still a big girl, it's embarrassing!”

They seemed to be bickering as usual, but I found myself trembling with fear – was this really a place where zombies were created

And this must be a remote, secluded mountain. There can't be many people living in this village, but their values are drastically different from normal people. As an outsider like me, I'm probably just a piece of fresh meat to them.

What can I do If I don't come up with a solution, I really won't be able to protect the child, and these people will just keep using me... what should I do.

Good heavens, I can't even imagine what kind of hell that would be.

I shook my head, pushing down the fear. The older woman saw my movement and crossed her arms, sneering, "Since you're here, accept your fate. There were women like you in our village before, those who resisted desperately ended up as zombies. Those who knew when to yield just obediently had children, giving birth until they couldn't anymore... but at least they lived for another twenty or thirty years, right And raising so many children was also beneficial to the village. The Grand Elder allowed them to live peacefully until their deaths."

The little girl added with a wicked smile, "She just didn't live long, because she couldn't hold on... Her physique was really weak, she couldn't stand our village brothers. I heard that the woman who lived the longest had thirteen children. Sadly, after her forties, she couldn't get pregnant anymore, so she could only be a tool for the brothers to relieve themselves. She lasted for three or four years, and it is said that everything below was rotten, hahaha, how miserable! But the village still remembers her, they took care of her for two or three years, and she died at fifty. That's considered a long life."

I turned pale with horror. These people's minds must lack the word "cruelty." In this isolated, godforsaken place, with a dwindling population, they'd resort to any barbaric and depraved acts just to perpetuate their lineage.

“A while back, Elder Sister Tian even sent over a live woman. She was in her thirties, and Elder Sister Tian had taken her husband away. She even tried to fight Elder Sister Tian for him! After being sent here, she was killed within half a month. You city folk are just too weak! Not even a child left behind. All that good food went to waste. Hey, you better try harder! Looking at your age, you should be able to give birth for another twenty or thirty years.”

My God... What the hell is this! They are so brazen about it! Do they even know there's a government and laws in this world

"You've done so much wrong, you'll surely be punished!" I didn't know how else to express my anger at them.

"Retribution" The younger sister shrugged nonchalantly: "We were going to die anyway, so we might as well live happily ever after, what's there to be afraid of about dying early"

It is impossible to communicate, to tell these demon-like people about goodness.

"Don't waste your energy struggling, this room is surrounded by layers of talismans and barriers, no one can find you. Settle down for a few months and give birth to the child. This is probably the last few months of your life, hehe... On the day the child is born, I estimate... the men in the village will be unable to contain themselves..."y: "I didn't expect Qi Ke Xin to be like this now...uh, scary..."She said it was terrifying, but her eyes betrayed her excitement. This was the first time she'd seen such a strange "person" up close.I...
