I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

In the deepest part of the refining room, Qiao Na discovered a creepy "production line":

The first stage: living people are injected with special drugs and forced to dig coal until exhaustion.

"These drugs will stimulate the potential of the human body," the forensic doctor examined the syringe, "allowing them to continue working at their limit."

Second Ring: Waiting for Death. Once someone falls, they will be dragged into the refining room immediately.

"They couldn't even die in peace," Xiaoyun pointed at the bloodstains on the ground, "They were dragged away while still twitching."

The third ring: The corpse is placed in a special refining cauldron to extract the resentment and essence.

"Look at this refining cauldron," the guide pointed to a huge bronze tripod, "it can process three corpses at the same time, and the refining efficiency is very high."

Fourth Ring: Infuse essence into equipment to form "resentment enchantment".

A detailed recipe is hung on the wall:

“Resentment Purification Method:

-The stronger the pain before death, the higher the quality

- The resentment concentration must reach 85%

- Each piece of equipment requires 3-5 people's essence

- Refining time: Mao time to Hai time

"This is not an ordinary weapon refining workshop," Qiao Na looked around, "It's a complete slaughtering assembly line."

Suddenly, a faint groan came from the corner. A dying black worker was chained, with tubes inserted into his body to extract essence.

"They..." the man said in a weak voice, "They said that as long as I work hard... I can go home..."

"Can you tell me more?" Qiao Na squatted down and said, "Tell me about the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"On the night of the full moon..." he said intermittently, "someone will come to collect the goods... wearing a red mask... saying that these equipment... are tributes to the "Blood Moon Monarch"..."

"Blood Moon Monarch?"

"Yes... they said... the more people sacrificed... the longer the life granted by the monarch... Boss Lin... went crazy for immortality..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly convulsed violently. The tubes on his body twitched wildly, squeezing out the last bit of essence.

"They...are coming..." These were his last words.

Just as Qiao Na was about to leave, she was surrounded by a dozen men in black, led by Zhao Dechang, the leader of the western district of the underground city.

"Captain Qiao," Zhao Dechang said with a smile, "Why make such a fuss?"

“Are you also going to take care of the missing mortals’ cases?” He shook his head and sighed, “This is a dungeon, and the strong are respected. Those people are already at the bottom of society, and it’s a waste of resources for them to be alive.”

"You!" Jonah glared at him.

"Don't be so excited," Zhao Dechang said earnestly, "Do you know how many people this industry supports? Just in transportation, sales, and intermediaries, there are hundreds of people who rely on this for their livelihood."

He pointed at the slums around him and said, "Look at these people. They can't even get a full meal. Although Lin Fugui's methods were cruel, at least he gave them a way to survive. If you investigate further, these people will lose their last livelihood."

"Just because they paid a few copper coins as wages, can we ignore these crimes?" Joanna said coldly.

"Captain Qiao," Zhao Dechang sighed, "you've been up there for too long and don't know the suffering of the people. In this world, sometimes it's hard to survive. Look at those people wandering outside, dying of starvation, disease, and freezing. How could their fate be better than this?"

"At least Lin Fugui gave them a decent ending," he said seriously, "After death, they can be transformed into equipment to benefit others. Isn't this also a kind of inheritance?"

"You are shielding criminals!" Joanna said angrily.

"No, we are trying to maintain a balance," Zhao Dechang smiled. "This is the way of survival in the underground city. When someone gets to the top, someone else has to stay at the bottom. If you insist on investigating and breaking this balance, it will be these poor people who will suffer."

"Then let me ask you," Qiao Na sneered, "where did all this equipment end up?"

Zhao Dechang's face changed: "This..."

"I understand," Qiao Na pressed on. "You sell these equipment to monks outside and make huge profits from them. In the final analysis, it's just for your own pockets."

"How dare you!" Zhao Dechang shouted angrily, "I tried to persuade you with kind words, but you don't know what's good for you!"

He waved his hand, and a dozen men in black immediately stepped forward with cold light flashing in their hands.

"Captain Qiao," Zhao Dechang said with a gloomy face, "Some things are not good to know too much. I advise you to..."

Before he finished speaking, a pungent aroma suddenly spread out. Several men in black immediately covered their mouths and noses, but it was too late.

"Ecstasy Powder," Xiaoyun walked out from the darkness, "I prepared it in advance."

Zhao Dechang stumbled back: "You...you..."

"I had expected this to happen," Qiao Na said coldly, "so I asked Xiao Yun to prepare in secret."

She took out a document from her bosom: "This is the account transaction between you and Lin Fugui. In three months, you took out 200,000 gold in benefits. No wonder you defend him so much."

"You!" Zhao Dechang's face turned pale, "Don't think you can catch me..."

Chapter 622 Blood Moon Curse?

"And this," Qiao Na took out another list, "You sold these equipment to the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce. You should know what they use these equipment for."

Zhao Dechang slumped to the ground: "How...how do you know..."

"Because we have been eyeing the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce for a long time," Joanna looked down at him, "You are just one of them. Now, tell the truth, otherwise..."

"This...is this the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce's flesh and blood market?" Xiaoyun looked at the glass counters around her, her voice trembling.

On each counter, there were anesthetized "goods" with price tags all over them:

"18-year-old virgin heart: 50000 gold

(Note: The resentment is abundant, which is suitable for refining the soul-chasing talisman)

24-year-old monk's eyeball: 80000 gold/pair

(Note: It contains residual spiritual power and can be used to extract visual essence)

35-year-old warrior's arm: 100000 gold/arm

(Note: Well-developed muscles are suitable for refining magical pills)"

Joanna looked down at the label on herself:

"Police Captain Organ Suit: 500000 gold

(Note: Firm will, pure resentment, top-grade refining materials)"

"Look," Xiaoyun pointed at the huge star map on the wall, "these bright spots are..."

"It's their branch," the guide said weakly, "The Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce has bases in various time and space."

The densely packed red dots on the star map formed a network, and each red dot was marked with a different world name:

"Magic Martial Arts World-Main Business: Warrior Essence and Blood

Fairyland-Main business: monks' soul

Science Planet-Main Business: Genetic Modification

... "

"Are these... teleportation arrays?" Joanna looked at the runes carved on the ground.

"Yes," the guide said, "They use this to transport "goods" between worlds. I heard that the Blood Moon Monarch has mastered the secret method of traveling through time and space, so he can establish this huge trading network."

Suddenly, a bell rang.

"It's time to collect the goods," the guide said, his face pale. "They are coming to take away today's "goods."

The door opened, and a dozen people wearing blood moon masks walked in. They pushed carts filled with specially made fresh-keeping boxes.

"What a great batch of top-notch stuff," the leader picked up Jonah's label and looked at it, "Police captain? That's rare."

"I heard that she found our base in the underground city," said another person, "It's just right. We can refine her heart blood and make a batch of tracking charms."

"But before that..." The leader took out a list, "Let's process today's orders first:

-Xuan Yang Sect of Xianling Continent: Ten pairs of eyeballs from Qi training cultivators are needed

-The Iron Blood Alliance of the Magic and Martial World: Want Five Warriors' Hearts

-Tech Planet Gene Institute: Three complete corpses are needed for experiments

... "

"The Blood Moon Lord said," he closed the list, "recently, the demand for our goods has increased greatly. We need to speed up production and get more high-quality "raw materials"."

With a loud bang, a big hole was blasted out of the dome of the flesh and blood market. Zhang Chen fell from the sky, surrounded by golden lightning.

"How dare you," he said, glancing coldly at the crowd of people wearing blood moon masks, "You dare to open a blood and flesh market in my jurisdiction."

"Zhang... Chief Zhang!" The leader took two steps back. "This is the Blood Moon Monarch's property. You..."

Before he could finish his words, a bolt of lightning struck down. The leader fell to the ground, his mask shattered, revealing a face corroded by runes.

"This is..." Zhang Chen frowned, "Blood Moon Curse?"

The man's face was covered with dark red lines, as dense as spider webs, and his pupils had completely turned blood red.

"Everyone, stay where you are!" The law enforcement team surrounded the entire market.

“Captain Zhang,” Jonah said weakly, “They…they turned the dungeon into a flesh-processing factory.”

Xiaoyun took over the conversation: "Zhao Dechang... the leader of the underground city, he was also controlled. Look at his eyes..."

The pupils of the captured Zhao Dechang were also blood red.

He struggled like a wild beast: "The Blood Moon Lord... The Blood Moon Lord will save us..."

"These people are crazy," the guide said. "The Blood Moon Merchant Guild has used some secret method to control their minds. They believe that the more people they sacrifice, the more eternal life the Blood Moon Monarch will grant them."

Zhang Chen checked the teleportation array on the ground: "It is true. This is a space rune that can connect various worlds."

"Not just in the dungeon," Jonah said, "They have branches in every world. They use these teleportation arrays to deliver the 'goods'."

Zhang Chen smashed the teleportation array with his palm: "Cut off their transportation network first."

Boom! The teleportation array exploded, and the rune light scattered.

"Please spare my life, sir!" An employee of the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce knelt down and begged for mercy, "We were also forced... Once the Blood Moon Curse is planted, it will slowly erode the mind..."

"Tell me!" Zhang Chen said sternly, "Where is the Blood Moon Lord?"

"I... I don't know," the man trembled, "Every time we receive goods, we receive instructions through the teleportation array. No one has ever seen the monarch's true face..."

"Take them back for interrogation," Zhang Chen ordered, "We must find out the headquarters of the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Chief Zhang," a senior member of the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce smiled strangely and took out three bottles of fluorescent potions from his arms:

"Look, these are all top-quality goods..."

"The red one is extracted from the blood of thousands of virgins. Taking it can extend your life by three hundred years..."

"The blue one is condensed from the essence of the martial arts master. One drop can increase your strength dramatically..."

"The purple one is even rarer. It is made from the brain marrow of a superpower and can develop human potential..."

Zhang Chen's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Our Blood Moon Merchants Association is all over the world," the man continued to persuade, "as long as you are willing to join, all of these are yours. Whatever you want, we can give you..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Chen yelled, "What do you think our world is? A petri dish!"

Boom! A bolt of lightning shattered the potion in the man's hand. A foul-smelling liquid splashed in the broken glass.

"These are all living people!" Zhang Chen's eyes were red. "This is how you turn every world into your flesh and blood factory!"

"Stupid!" The man grinned, "The weak are just food for the strong. Don't you want to live forever? Don't you want to..."

Lightning flashed, and Zhang Chen appeared in front of him: "Go to hell!"

boom!

The fist pierced the man's chest.

Amidst the splattering blood, a blood-colored rune spread from the wound, trying to corrode Zhang Chen's arm.

"Blood Moon Curse?" Zhang Chen sneered, "A mere trifle!"

Golden lightning surrounded his entire body, burning all the blood runes.

"Everyone," he turned and ordered, "Search every corner of the dungeon thoroughly. Leave no Blood Moon Merchant Guild stronghold alive!"
