Chapter 101 Saving People

It only took a little over an hour to capture the sub-nest, but it took the soldiers a full two hours to rescue the captured humans.

The underground prison was quite large, and all the cells were separated by metal fences. Each cell contained a metal platform like a bed, and the people inside were locked to the metal platform, their entire bodies secured by living metal, unable to move at all!

Rescuing these people was easy enough when it came to breaking open the fences, but removing the living metal used to secure them was a bit of a hassle because they couldn't injure the people underneath!

In this Devourer stronghold, there were more than three thousand prisoners. They were considered lucky because the underground prison could only accommodate five thousand prisoners in total. Once that number was reached, all the prisoners would be sent away!

This information was revealed by one of the prisoners. He was lucky because whenever prisoners were transported, some were always left behind in the sub-nest as backup food! This was in case they had bad luck and didn't capture any new humans for a long time after transporting the prisoners.

This prisoner had been left behind at that time. As a result, before they could "eat" him, new humans were captured, and he was fortunate enough to survive until now.

The physical condition of these prisoners was still good. After all, the Devourers needed them to maintain their energy at all times, so they didn't mistreat them. They even supplied the necessary daily nutrients!

However, from the moment they were captured, they had been fixed to the metal platforms, unable to move at all. Eating was out of the question. Their nutrition was maintained by a needle that popped out of the metal platform every day, injecting them with a kind of medicine!

Fortunately, there were lights here. According to that prisoner, he had overheard the Devourers who came to inspect the place every day saying that the place where humans were held must have lights, otherwise they would go crazy and damage their own bodies!

Li Chenzhou also came to the underground prison to take a look. Looking at the neat prison cells and the narrow space in the cells that could only accommodate a metal platform, he inexplicably thought of the large-scale farms where humans raised chickens, ducks, and pigs, which seemed to be similar.

The animals inside were all locked up, with no room for activity. Some even had their living space deliberately controlled to make certain parts of their bodies grow larger.

For humans, whether it was chickens, ducks, or pigs, they were not regarded as living beings, but as items used to exchange for wealth.

So they only needed to grow according to their wishes. As for whether they were comfortable inside, or even whether they were in pain, no one would consider these things!

The same was true for the Devourers. Humans were not regarded as living beings, but as food. They only cared about whether humans were strong and whether they suited their taste. As for whether these humans were comfortable when they were locked up, no Devourer would care about that!

"Sigh! Tell them that they can choose to go back to their own base, or they can choose to go to our base, but our vehicles don't have any space, so they can only walk!"

Li Chenzhou sighed, then called over a soldier and said to him. Then, he looked at Qing Cang and the others beside him and asked:

"Where's your sister?"

"She was taken away!"

Qing Cang said through gritted teeth.

After the soldiers cleared out the Devourers in the sub-nest, Qing Cang and the others were naturally rescued. However, two of them were unlucky. They had just had their life force sucked away, and the Devourers were planning to feed the life force back when the alarm went off, so they left!

After Qing Cang and the others were rescued, they immediately told the soldiers about the life force feedback. The soldiers immediately notified their comrades and used stun guns to capture a few Devourers, intending to have them use life force feedback to restore the two people's life force.

But what was unexpected was that the Devourers were quite tough and none of them were willing to perform life force feedback, even when they saw their companions being killed!

The soldiers killed one for every question they asked. In the end, not a single Devourer was willing to perform life force feedback, and there was no way to force them to do so. In the end, the soldiers had no choice but to give up!

Li Chenzhou learned about Qing Cang's rescue as soon as it happened. However, the Devourers had not been completely cleared out at that time, so Li Chenzhou did not come over, because many places in the sub-nest were not suitable for combat vehicles to pass through.

And if he got out of the combat vehicle, and was ambushed by the Devourers, Li Chenzhou's level three physique would not be able to withstand their attacks. Of course, Li Chenzhou would not take such an unnecessary risk!

It wasn't until he was sure that all the Devourers had been cleared out that Li Chenzhou left the combat vehicle under the protection of several soldiers who had returned to protect him. At this time, the soldiers were also rescuing the prisoners, so Li Chenzhou naturally came here to meet Qing Cang.

"Sent away?"

Hearing Qing Cang's answer, Li Chenzhou was a little puzzled. The prisoner had just said that the Devourers usually waited until they had gathered five thousand prisoners before transporting them. But Qing Cang's sister had only been captured a few days ago. Could it be that they happened to be transporting prisoners at that time?

Moreover, in just a few days, the Devourers had captured more than three thousand people? That shouldn't be happening that fast, right?

"She was sent away separately!"

Qing Cang said:

"Those bastards in the council, their research is complete crap. They confidently said that our trackers would not be discovered by the Devourers, but this thing can't hide from the Devourers at all!

The Devourers discovered the tracker in my sister's body on the day she was captured, so they tortured her for several days. We even saw her when we were captured!

Maybe it's because there's also a tracker in my body, so after they captured me, they sent my sister away.

I heard those Devourers who interrogated us chatting. They said that my sister was sent to their headquarters in the Duoluo World, saying that they wanted to remove the tracker to see if they could research anti-tracking, so as to find out where our base is!"

"Headquarters?"

Li Chenzhou immediately asked:

"Do you know where the Devourers' headquarters is?"

"I don't know!"

Qing Cang shook his head.

"Damn it! If I had known, I should have left a few alive!"

A soldier next to him slapped his thigh and said regretfully.

"It's useless! Those guys...they won't say anything even if they die!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head and said.

Qing Cang nodded in agreement when he heard this.

They wanted the Devourers to use life force feedback, but all the Devourers would rather die than cooperate. Wanting to get the location of their headquarters out of their mouths was simply a pipe dream!

"Forget it, let's go back and discuss this with General Hu and the others! First, clean up the battlefield and take away everything that can be used!"

Li Chenzhou waved his hand and said...
