However, when I watched the big pigs being taken away one after another, they had tried to reduce their food intake just like me before, but the results were still taken away. I began to be frightened, and I began to feel that my efforts might only be worth it. All in vain.
I told myself that this was the only way and the only hope. I can't give up, I can't just accept fate. I have to persevere for myself and my brothers and sisters.
It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that my mother's words were just her own speculation. No matter what we did, we couldn't escape the fate of being eaten. We had no way to survive unless we became stronger!
But that’s not how real hope comes. That day, a little human girl who looked and felt as beautiful as an angel came into my life. For me, she was my salvation, the source of my renewed hope, and the most important turning point in my life.
That day, it was like a premonition that I could no longer immerse myself in sleep. My heart was beating extremely fast, as if something big was about to happen. Somewhere in the dark, I seemed to feel a call from fate, and tension and fear filled my heart.
Suddenly, my world was torn apart by a rough force. Along with the cold air, several strong men broke into my night. They grabbed me without mercy and took me out of the pig pen. The warm home, close brothers and sisters, everything left me in that moment.
I was taken to a strange place, and a strong smell of blood hit me, making my heart tremble. The surroundings were dark and cold, with only a few dim lights shining on the ground, reflecting a miserable scene. I looked at the ground. Embedded in the darkness were corpses of the same kind. They were lying there quietly, without breathing or life.
Fear swept through the mind like a storm. I was completely panicked at that moment. I didn't know what I should do. I just wanted to escape from this terrible place. My heart was filled with pleading and despair, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet."
In the silence, I heard their conversation. They were discussing me. They said I was too thin and there was no need to keep it any longer. Killing me earlier would save feed. Every word was like a huge stone hitting my heart, making me unable to breathe.
But at that moment, a gentle voice came through the air. "Dad, it's so thin and pitiful. Why don't you let it go?"
This voice is like the spring wind, gently blowing through my heart. I raised my head and looked at the source of the voice. There was a little girl standing in the light. Her eyes were full of sympathy and pity. At that moment, I felt hope.
"Yang Ling, what are you doing here without sleeping at night? This is not a place where a girl should come!" the boss scolded sternly.
"But, dad..." Yang Ling begged.
…
That little girl, Yang Ling, was like an angel in my eyes. Her appearance gave me new hope. Although she is only six years old, her heart is kinder and more loving than anyone else. Her eyes were full of care and compassion, which gave me renewed faith in the world.
I heard a conversation between her and her father, the owner of a pig farm. He looked serious and stern. But after he heard his daughter's request, his expression suddenly softened. He patted his daughter on the head, took hold of my chain, and then he let me go, just like I wanted him to.
I looked at them in surprise, I couldn't even believe that this was real. I was released, I was free, I could leave this pigsty that terrified me, I could escape that desperate slaughterhouse. I took a deep breath. It was fresh air that I had not tasted for a long time. I felt more relaxed and happy than ever before.
Yang Ling held my hand, and we walked out of the pigsty, out of the slaughterhouse, and into the unknown world. She took me out into the wild, filled with sights I had never seen before. Starlight filled the earth, the breeze blew across the face, everything was so beautiful.
At the moment of parting, Yang Ling looked at me, her eyes full of expectation and blessing. She patted me on the back and told me in her clear voice: "Go, you are free. You can eat and drink well in my house. You must eat and drink well when you are outside!"
Her words made me feel warm. They were the selfless wishes of a child, and they were my deepest blessing.
I watched Yang Ling's figure disappear into the darkness. I knew that I was about to start a new journey. I wanted to live, I wanted to live, and I wanted to cherish this hard-won freedom.
After going through those difficult days, I finally found a possibility of survival in the wild. Enduring hunger and cold, I ran wildly through the dangerous forest and arrived at a relatively quiet suburb. There is no trace of human beings there, only the breath of nature.
Although it was difficult to get food, I also felt joy that I had never experienced before. I used grass as food, fruits as food, and I could even find some bird eggs and small animals from time to time, which met my needs for survival. Although sometimes I can only eat a few insects, I still cherish this hard-won freedom.
However, this world is not as beautiful as I imagined. Those animals that live in the wild have powerful abilities and are called monsters by humans. Because of these abilities, they are regarded as prey by humans and become the targets of their pursuit.
And I, an ordinary pig, do not have any protective power, and I have to fearfully avoid being hunted by humans every day. I endure fear and danger every day, and I understand a truth, that is, in this world, strength is the only law of survival.
I began to long for strength, and I hoped that one day I would no longer live in fear and fear like I do now. I want to be strong enough to protect myself.
In the early days of my escape, survival was the biggest challenge. Food is scarce and danger is everywhere. I had to be hyper-aware of my surroundings; any slack could get me killed. Humans and ferocious beasts are my greatest threats. They were stronger and more skilled, and I became more cautious and cautious.
Despite the difficult living conditions, I am still grateful that I have earth attributes. It is my only means of protection and defense, and it is the key to my survival in this wild world. In the beginning, I would only use it to dig for food or for self-defense.
I go out early and come back late every day, just to find more food to maintain my weak life. Occasionally, I would meet the same kind of people, their eyes full of hostility and fear, but more often despair and hunger. I clearly understand that this is the essence of survival, the rule of the jungle.
During the battle, I constantly exercised and improved my abilities. Sometimes, I have to use it to fight those ferocious beasts. I will use my earth attribute abilities to form a protective circle to give myself some chances to escape. Every victory gives me a deeper understanding and higher expectations of my own strength.
Life is like a ruthless grinder, polishing me harder and harder. I understand that I have no choice but to be strong. I must accept and adapt to this difficult road, keep fighting, and keep tempering myself until one day I can truly control this power of my own.
My life has undergone a huge transformation, from a fugitive hunted by humans to a leader with his own organization and goals. I changed my name to "Desperate Pig", which means that I will no longer succumb to oppression in any form, and I will fight until the end.
I founded the Butcher Guild, a group of monsters to fight against the humans who hunted us with impunity. I believe that only by gathering strength can we fight against powerful humans. Only by uniting as one can we hope to achieve the goal of revenge.
I am disappointed by the hesitation and procrastination of the United Biological Association. They are always too conservative in the face of human aggression and delay the best opportunity to fight back. And I don’t want to be passively beaten anymore. I think, no, I need to take the initiative to fight for more living space for myself and my compatriots.
I began actively recruiting like-minded monsters to join me. We train together to improve our own strength. We share the hardships of life together and warm every lonely heart. We inspire each other, burn our anger, and remember the pain that cannot be forgotten. Then, we will launch a decisive counterattack against those sinful humans with thunderous power.
Over the course of fifteen years, I became widely known as the Desperate Pig, a man who, through ruthless fight and determination, conquered the horrors of humanity and gained the freedom I had always longed for. Every action I took, every victory, moved me higher on humanity's dangerous rankings, until I was number two.
People began to be frightened. They were afraid of me, my strength, my determination, and my uncompromising attitude. They sent stronger hunters to hunt me down, but only a stronger me could face such a challenge. I am no longer the pig that people want and want and bully at will. I am the Desperate Pig, I am the leader of the Butcher Guild, I am the source of human fear.
I gradually mastered another way of life, a way of life that only great strength can bring. I can move freely and do whatever I want. I don’t have to hide, I don’t have to be afraid. My power is my freedom, which brings me new life experiences and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
I regard people as powerful, but I know in my heart that everything I do is done with a clear conscience. My only regret is not seeing you again, Yang Ling.
