After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

Deep in the forest was a village with two-story buildings connected to each other. There were many people working in the village, and there were also some children playing around. Li Ke looked at their straw mats and various containers, which were filled with all kinds of insects.

Those people also looked at Li Ke and other outsiders, but there was not much curiosity in their eyes. Judging from their appearance, they should be the indigenous people of this area.

They were escorted forward, passing through the village and moving forward until they came to a river about five or six meters wide, following the river deeper into the river.

After walking for more than two hours, they finally stopped. In front of them was a wide expanse of water with a long series of connected islands in the center.

There were robbers standing on the shore waving flags. Li Ke and his friends sat on the ground to rest and were given some leftovers to fill their stomachs.

A boat came over from the island at a very fast speed. Li Ke and his friends sat and rested for more than half an hour before being driven back on board.

There were two open-top, oil-powered fishing boats, and they took all of them on board.

These robbers may have entered their own territory and became more relaxed and casual. Since they got on the boat, they found a place to sit and gathered in groups of three or five to chat, smoke cigarettes and gossip.

Li Ke and the others were not given any strict rules on what to do, so she stood by the boat with the two people tied to her with a rope.

She was looking at the water here. Li Ke was not sure what the water in front of her was.

Sea? Not big enough. Lake? Not really. The water here looks pretty good, quite clear, and you can see mutated fish swimming in it. So far, this place feels really good.

"What are you looking at?" The robber who was guarding them asked Li Ke with interest. This man was the one who had chosen Li Ke in the first place.

Li Ke listened to the man and looked back at the water: "Look at the water, look at the fish, there are so many fish, there should be some that can be eaten, right?"

The man smiled, his eyes still on Li Ke's face: "We can't eat these treasures. They have other uses. You will know later."

Seeing that the other party was very interested in the conversation, Li Ke asked, "Is the island ahead your base? Can you tell us now what you want to do by capturing us?"

The man was quite unscrupulous at this time: "It is considered one of the bases. As for you, you are very useful. We can sell you to those who want you, or keep you for our own use. You know, people with beautiful physiques like you, especially healthy soldiers, are very popular in our trade. Unfortunately, you soldiers are the most difficult to deal with and the most likely to cause trouble."

Li Ke asked thoughtfully: "Which side is popular? You have captured so many of our hostages, where are the others? Are they also on the island ahead?"

The man stared at Li Ke with a half-smile: "You have so many questions, but I only have one question. Why don't you answer me first?"

Li Ke did not speak, waiting for the other party to ask questions. The man deliberately scanned Li Ke's body inch by inch: "You are a woman, right? I forgot to tell you that here, the most valuable people are always beautiful and healthy women. You look very valuable."

Li Ke asked calmly, "How did you figure that out?"

The man's eyes showed pride: "Eyes, women's eyes are different from men's eyes. When you took off your mask, I suspected that you were a lesbian, but when I saw through your disguise, I was sure that you were a woman. There is a big difference between women's eyes and men's eyes, the light is different."

Li Ke frowned slightly: "That's it?"

The man felt slighted and raised his voice, "Of course there are more to it than that. As long as you reveal even the slightest flaw, I will use it to uncover other suspicious points about you. Your body odor is also different from that of men. Men's odor is always stronger, while women's is warmer. Although the way you walked was very proper in approaching a man, your movements looked too clean, which was also a flaw."

Li Ke turned around and looked at the two companions who had been invisible for a long time: "Did you see that I am a woman?"

Without the mask, her voice changer could not be used for the time being. Although she had practiced her voice specially, it was still a little different.

The two men stared at Li Ke for a while and said, "I didn't see it before, but now that I hear him say this, it makes sense."

The man said smugly, "Your disguise was actually pretty good, but it's a pity that you met someone as experienced as me."

Li Ke then asked, "You haven't told me where our people are being taken? More than 80,000 people, they can't all be on your island, right? Also, why didn't the hostages you sent come according to the requirements on our list? What's the situation of those people now?"

The man laughed and said, "We didn't capture so many of you, so we don't know where the others are. With so many people in so many places, how can we possibly find them one by one? And the people you want to redeem must be the more useful ones. Such people may have already been sold by us, so there is no way for us to return them to you."

Li Ke's heart sank. It seemed that there was a big problem on the road ahead and it would be difficult to go on. Li Ke lowered his head and looked at the mutant fish that occasionally swam by in the water, thinking.

Her arm was hit. It was the robber's gun tip that reminded her to come back to her senses. Li Ke looked at the evil in his eyes and followed him to look forward.

There were rows of sharp wooden stakes in front of us, with blackened heads on top and bloody flesh and tissue underneath.

Li Ke's pupils trembled slightly, and then he calmed down after a moment. However, his teammate next to him couldn't bear it for a moment, closed his eyes, and his face looked pale and ugly.

The robber said with some disappointment: "You don't look like a woman at this moment, but I still think you are very interesting."

Li Ke ignored this person. There were quite a few wooden stakes, and even more human heads hung on them. Many of them were dried, and some still had some visible facial features.

None of the thirty of them wanted to see this scene, but this scene was laid bare at the entrance to the island and there was no way to avoid it, unless one closed their eyes.

After calming their minds, they all opened their eyes and searched among the heads, hoping that the person they were looking for might be among them.

The fishing boat passed through the woods of wooden stakes and headed inside. Li Ke saw that there seemed to be something under the water, but the boat was going very fast. Everything in front of him made it difficult to breathe and observe. They soon reached the real shore.

There is also a village on the island. I don’t know if it was affected by the scene when entering the island, but the people Li Ke saw at this time all looked very dark and bloody. Her mentality was still affected.

Everyone on the island was holding weapons, and their companions came to greet the robbers. They spoke their own language, which Li Ke could not understand. She felt a little tired and a little dizzy, and the purgatory scene at the entrance kept appearing in her mind.

Li Ke had seen many cruel and bloody scenes in her previous life, and she thought she would not be affected again. Now it seems that she overestimated herself.

She took out a tube of glucose from the space, covered her face and drank it. She couldn't let herself down at this moment.

After the group of people finished talking, they were led further inside, and then into a large courtyard consisting of several buildings. Thirty people were taken into a large collective bathing room.

Several people were running water with hoses, while others were ordering them with interest, "Take off all your clothes. Now we are going to rinse you clean and then inspect the goods."

After Li Ke saw those people whispering to each other, most of their eyes were focused on her. They were waiting for her to take off her clothes.
