I became a giant of light

Chapter 427 Dark World 4

"Do you want to live or die?" Fu Xin asked, looking at the three women lying on the ground with lifeless eyes.

The three women all had the same expression, completely unresponsive, as if they had permanently lost all sense of the outside world, completely shutting themselves off, leaving only the instinctive pain in their bodies, and even their breathing was barely audible.

Seeing the state of the three, Fu Xin made a decision for them, using his telekinesis to forcibly invade their brains, causing them to die without any pain in an instant.

Given the state of the three people, living would only bring them suffering, while death would be a relief.

Then Fu Xin used his telekinetic power to dig three pits and buried the three people inside.

Finally, after scanning the surroundings with his telekinesis, he found only some broken items with nothing of value. Fu Xin then led Wu Xiao to continue searching for the next stronghold.

After all, the spaceship crashed nearby, and many things were gone. They must have been taken by others, so it couldn't have been too far away.

The spaceship is too far away to be seen, and it's impossible for them to travel that far to transport the spaceship's cargo.

To speed up their journey, Fu Xin used his telekinesis to carry Wu Xiao through the forest for over ten kilometers before finding the second stronghold.

The stronghold here is not much different from the first stronghold he found. In fact, Fu Xin also found a woman who was in chaos due to the invasion of wild animals. She failed to escape in the chaos and had both legs broken on the spot. Her broken legs were then used as food.

Faced with these horrific scenes that resembled hell on earth, Fu Xin showed no mercy and killed all the men without hesitation.

When faced with a woman, Fu Xin will ask if she is willing to live. If she is, Fu Xin will provide some help; if she is not, Fu Xin will help her find a way out.

However, these women were also tortured to the point of being mentally unstable and lost all hope for the outside world. The woman who failed to escape saw that her enemy was dead and that her legs were broken, making the rest of her life even more difficult. So she did not choose to live either. After Fuxin freed his enemy, he also buried these women.

Otherwise, if left unattended, she might be captured by another man or used as food.

After leaving, Fuxin found several more strongholds. These strongholds varied in size, and some were quite well hidden, similar to the rock crevices that Wu Xiao had found at the beginning. If Fuxin hadn't used his psychic powers to scan, he wouldn't have been able to find them at all.

The smaller one was just one person, and upon seeing Fuxin, he immediately attacked, wanting to seize Wuxiao.

To the people here, Fuxin's attire was clearly different from theirs; they were from beyond the heavens. People from beyond the heavens were all kind-hearted fools, and it didn't matter whether they were robbed or killed.

After all, the people here have grown up in such an extremely selfish environment. The behavior of taking whatever they want is ingrained in their genes. This is their perception, and they regard plunder and killing as the norm.

Normal people from the outside world are seen as outsiders here, and are the easiest to be oppressed and plundered.

As for population reproduction, it relied on women who were stolen or captured. The men vented their lust on them at will, and when resources were scarce, they only provided some food to keep the women alive.

Even if they are pregnant, it will not stop them from indulging their lust. Therefore, due to insufficient nutrition after pregnancy and their wanton behavior, the fetuses often die and become food for them.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, the baby girls were kept alive, given some food to keep them alive, and kept for mating when they grew up. Some even began to experience this kind of torment from a young age.

Male infants, on the other hand, were treated as subordinates, only slightly better than female infants. Once they were old enough to move around, they were exploited, forced to collect food and do chores.

The stored food was given to their fathers first, and only then to the boys. If there was not much food left, the boys would be left to starve to death, and the boys who starved to death would then be used as food.

The lowest class were captured slaves, who were used entirely as cannon fodder and as a warning against danger. During hunts, slaves were used as bait, and when danger arose, slaves were used as human shields to buy the slaves a chance to escape.

Even if slaves are used to guard the gate, if a wild beast invades, the slaves will be the first to be eaten. The commotion they cause can also alert them and let them prepare.

It can be said that in this strange and dark ecosystem, the first male savage had more power than the emperor, while the remaining sons and women had roughly the same status.

Women are men's only entertainment besides eating, and most of the children women give birth to are also food. Even if a woman dies, she can still be used as food.

The son's status in terms of survival was below that of the woman. After all, the son could only do some work and find food. The food he found would definitely be eaten by the woman. This was only the result of the first man being severely punished for not finding food. Otherwise, the food he found would probably have been eaten by the time he returned.

If the stronghold is attacked and destroyed by wild beasts, the surviving son will have no choice but to wander, becoming a lone wolf, and must also be wary of other men, otherwise he will be captured and enslaved.

The women who escaped in the chaos lived cautiously every day, not only avoiding wild beasts but also other men.

If she were to become pregnant, she would be like Wu Xiao's mother, giving birth to Wu Xiao alone and struggling to survive. Due to the extremely harsh environment, she would be very likely to die halfway through her life.

At first, Fu Xin thought that only a few strongholds were like this, but after finding several strongholds in a row with the same situation, Fu Xin realized that this world was not normal.

However, Fuxin has only experienced a few worlds and does not know much. Only by finding the energy source and replenishing the civilization armor can he find out what is going on here, based on the information database in the civilization's heritage.

Therefore, Fu Xin handled the rest of the journey even more decisively. Whenever he discovered a stronghold of this type, he would kill all the men and give the women the right to choose between life and death.

However, after passing through so many strongholds, none of the women Fuxin encountered chose to survive.

What impressed Fu Xin most was that among these strongholds, he encountered a woman who had endured all this torment but still retained a sliver of consciousness.

When Fu Xin asked the other person whether they wanted to live or die, the other person chose to die without hesitation.

Seeing that the other party was still reacting to the outside world, Fu Xin asked her why. All the male savages here had been killed by Fu Xin, so this stronghold belonged to the woman alone, and all the food and supplies were hers.

But the woman said that one person could not survive alone. This outpost was too obvious. Whether she encountered wild beasts or other male savages, she would have no power to resist.

Fu Xin then said, "What if I send all those persecuted women here so you can huddle together for warmth?"

The woman continued, "If a woman is discovered by a male savage, they will capture her at almost any cost. If the entire stronghold is made up of women, then the stronghold will be besieged by all the surrounding strongholds. The women will still be divided up and will still suffer the same fate, unless Fuxin kills all the male savages. Is that even possible?"

Fu Xin fell silent. For the first time, he realized that although his power overwhelmed the people here, some things could not be solved simply by strength.
