Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Taking Action to Close the Five Bridges Secret Realm (2)
Compared to last year’s nationwide tension and sensation, everyone is much calmer this time.
The army has still enforced martial law at the surrounding intersections and set up barricades. These live streamers can only shoot from behind the stationed warriors, unable to take a single step beyond the intersections.
To prevent accidents caused by crowding, the police are also maintaining order at the intersections.
Don’t even think about sneaking into other intersections; they are reserved for military and government passage, and even national media must obtain special permits.
After finishing her midnight snack, Ye Nai tidied up and started her main task.
A full map of the Five Bridges Secret Realm appeared in her mind. Wherever there was a lit spot in the wilderness on the map, she checked it out and gradually transferred the sleeping Hunter Groups to the wilderness outside Town No. 2.
At this time, Town No. 2 was also in a tense state. Although the surveillance around the open space with the Transmission Platform was turned off, it couldn’t prevent someone from spying in the shadows.
Fortunately, Ye Nai acted cautiously, not appearing in public, and instead, she retrieved the Transmission Platform while hiding in the shadow of a building.
Those spying in the dark, observing the Transmission Platform disappearing into thin air, naturally realized it was taken by a mysterious person and immediately acted according to their action guide.
Thus, when the first Hunter Group appeared neatly with their vehicles and tents outside Town No. 2, the warriors immediately shone their searchlights in that direction.
The sleeping hunters were all awoken by the strong light and rushed out of their tents, ready to curse. But realizing something was amiss, surrounded by armed warriors, they immediately shut up.
Just when the leader was about to inquire, the searchlight aimed at them suddenly lifted and projected into the distance.
The curious hunters barely had time to dress properly and quickly followed the light to see what was happening. They saw a group of men and women in short sleeves running out of their tents, cursing.
As they regained their senses and recognized their location, they fell silent.
"What’s this? Is this Town No. 2? How did we suddenly come back?!
No one answered their question, and the searchlight continued to illuminate the distance, where one Hunter Group after another appeared.
Before they could react, the warriors gradually informed these Hunter Groups to pack up and evacuate the Five Bridges Secret Realm.
The old hunters weren’t fools; this evidently indicated an anomaly in the Secret Realm. Although they regretted the wasted hunting opportunity, they could only pack up and leave, worrying about their livelihoods later once outside the Secret Realm.
Ye Nai, using the same methods she used to drive people out of the East Ridge Secret Realm, sent all the Hunter Groups, marked by small flashing dots in her mind, back to outside Town No. 2. If anyone tried to sneak away under the cover of darkness, she would bring them back.
The Hunter Groups that were sent outside only needed to linger briefly in the square to learn that the Secret Realm had closed, allowing exit but not entry.
Furthermore, this news was officially broadcast by the national media through the news.
More and more people recalled last year’s closure of the East Ridge Secret Realm.
The people who made a living from the Five Bridges Secret Realm couldn’t help but lament that another Secret Realm was closed, worrying about their livelihoods.
For a time, widespread anxiety spread throughout Five Bridges City, and many Awakeners left to find living opportunities in other cities with Secret Realms.
Ye Nai did not stay in the Five Bridges Secret Realm forever. After sending the scattered Hunter Groups back outside Town No. 2 and ensuring no one dared to sneak back, she left, leaving the resulting public opinion to the local city government.
Returning to the laboratory, Ye Nai had things to attend to.
Town No. 2 in the East Ridge Secret Realm had been cleaned spotlessly, and the water and electricity had been restored. The slaughterhouse, in particular, had been disinfected three times, and it was now ready for cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.
Ye Nai went to Beigen Village and invited the best butcher from the village to the East Ridge Secret Realm for a comparison experiment.
The slaughterhouse in the town was specially designed, with different small rooms for slaughtering different animals simultaneously. After slaughter, the animals would be sent by machine to a unified processing room for skinning, evisceration, and carcass cutting operations.
However, due to the location of Town No. 2, the slaughterhouse mostly processed frozen whole pigs and sheep and rarely performed live slaughter.
Now, the slaughterhouse would finally engage in its rightful business.
However, seeing the enormous size of cattle and sheep from the Otherworld, to ensure safety, it was decided to slaughter them one by one.
The invited butcher would start the operation.
Before slaughter, the cattle and sheep were starved for a day, given only water, and Ye Nai used the Puppet Curse on the two selected cows to guide them from the wilderness to outside the slaughterhouse.
The village butcher was accustomed to outdoor slaughter, so for his convenience, the one he slaughtered was also done outdoors.
A bit of modern slaughter equipment was used to prevent excessive blood on the ground.
Firstly, there was a fence to fix the animal, ensuring the cow could maintain a standing posture while being stunned.
Next was a blood collection device, positioned at the cow’s neck’s main blood vessels as indicated by the butcher, with a blood collection hood tightly attached, using a special knife to pierce the Mutant Beast Skin.
However, the first cow was unfortunate with the electric prod, taking three tries before finally getting stunned.
Then, the person operating the blood collection device pressed the mechanical switch, and the sharp knife within the blood collection hood quickly stabbed out and retracted, with cow blood gushing like a spring, flowing along the transparent tube connected to the blood collection hood into the collection barrel at the rear.
The butcher, having never seen such a scene, was dumbstruck and excitedly yelled.
After collecting the blood, a specially designed large frame was pushed over, with a rope loop at one end placed around the cow’s neck. The operator cranked the winch while loosening the fence, slowly hoisting the entire cow up.
Once blood had been drained from the cow, it was lifted without any excess blood dripping on the ground.
Next, the butcher would proceed with skinning and cutting.
Ye Nai also joined the crowd to observe. But when she saw the butcher draw his knife to gut the cow, she was called away.
In the wilderness beyond the highway, a series of three-story prefab buildings had been erected, forming large courtyards specially designed to accommodate the physiques of Otherworldly beings.
"Who do we pick up first?"
"Let’s bring the women and children over first."
"Sure, let’s start from the field, where there are fewer people, making it easier to settle."
"Okay."
The logistics personnel in charge of prisoner resettlement drove Ye Nai to a courtyard at the Prisoner Camp, where Ye Nai unfolded a giant Transmission Port that could accommodate a truck in the middle of the courtyard.
The former noblewomen and children resting by the field stood up upon seeing the suddenly appearing giant Transmission Port.
