I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 403: A Choice Without Choice

Behind absolute righteousness is relative ruthlessness.

Su Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is it wrong for Shen Wencheng to press so hard? From the perspective of justice, he is not wrong, on the contrary, he is great.

Seeing Su Tao's silence, Chen Wencheng's heart beat like a drum, and he said anxiously:

"Boss Su, some sacrifices are necessary. There's no other way. Besides, in her current condition, it's better to send her to the laboratory. We have drugs there that can alleviate her pain. It's better than living here in a state worse than death. Look at her now. Not to mention the pain, is it decent to see her rot like this?"

"Also, I promise that there will be no inhumane operations during the experiment, and the experiment will not let her actually die. I will do my best to repair her body. Brother Jiang can come and see her, right?"

Su Tao thought of Jiang Tong's painful expression and closed her eyes:

".Go call Jiang Yu over and let them say goodbye properly."

Perhaps with the current dire situation, it would be better to go to the test bench.

But this is a choice without any alternative. Soaking in those liquids, without freedom, and having to watch my body being sliced ​​and dismembered, I can no longer think about it.

Shen Wencheng said nothing more.

Su Tao covered Jiang Tong with the quilt, leaving only her head exposed, which looked relatively intact.

Jiang Yu stumbled in and was about to rush over when he saw Jiang Tong calling "brother" in a daze.

Su Tao stopped him:

"Don't lift the quilt. Give her some dignity. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Someone will come to take her to the experimental base later."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but after a few steps she turned back and hugged Jiang Yu:

"I'm sorry I failed to protect her and hurt you."

Jiang Yu's feet suddenly felt as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.

Su Tao went out, closing the door behind her, and leaned against the wall, staring at the sky in a daze.

Ling Yu, who was standing on the horizon, flew towards her with a dirty backpack in his mouth.

Su Tao immediately stood up and whistled at it.

Ling Yu began to descend, and when he was about to land, he could not hold on any longer, so he dropped his backpack and fell into Su Tao's arms.

"I'm so tired. I'm so tired."

It was breathing heavily and rolling its eyes like a human.

Su Tao quickly found Zhuang Wan and asked her to guard the door and watch over Jiang Yu and his sister. She carried the bag and held Ling Yu in her arms and returned to the office.

I gave Lingyu some water and food, and was relieved to see that it had finally recovered.

Then he carefully opened the backpack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the zipper was opened a little, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

There were quite a few miscellaneous items inside, the most eye-catching of which were two beautifully packaged boxes.

After recovering from the shock, Ling Yu started talking non-stop when he saw the box:

"That's it, that's it, human skin, human skin."

It seems that what is inside is human skin.

Su Tao felt a little nauseous, but she still put on gloves and opened the box while suppressing her nausea.

There were actually more than one human skin inside, but not the whole body, only the face, some of which even had fresh blood stains.

Su Tao instantly realized that Huapi had a hobby of collecting.

The human skins in this exquisite box are all her favorite "works", and she will definitely come back to look for them when the time comes.

Just as she was about to use her special powers to "predict" the future of these things and find the hiding place of the Painted Skin, she stopped again.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Tong will be sent to the laboratory before this afternoon.

Then is it necessary to catch the painted skin?

But Su Tao only hesitated for half a minute before her eyes became determined.

It is necessary!

Just because she committed evil deeds of killing and skinning people, and harming Jiang Tong like this, it is necessary to capture her and let her taste everything that Jiang Tong suffered.

Su Tao calmed herself down, took off her gloves and gently touched these things, and her consciousness gradually drifted away - as expected, Painted Skin came back to look for her "collection".

——

"elder brother."

Jiang Tong opened her eyes dazedly. Her pupils had begun to dilate, and blood had dyed half of her vision, making everything she saw blood red and blurry.

This feeling brought back her memories of being a human.

She shouted hurriedly: "Brother, brother, I can't see clearly again, I can't see clearly"

This memory frightened her so much that she could not see the bad guys who beat her, the pervert who abused her, or whether there was darkness or light ahead.

Jiang Yu held her hand across the quilt: "Tongtong! Brother is here!"

Jiang Tong calmed down instantly when she heard his voice, and then began to cry softly:

"Brother, I can't see clearly. It hurts so much. Did someone hit me again? I've been very obedient. Why?"

Jiang Yu was shaking all over, wailing silently with his mouth open.

"No one will hit you, no one will hit you anymore, brother will protect you, brother——"

Jiang Yu stopped talking here.

He didn't protect her from beginning to end.

When she was abducted, he didn't.

Neither did he when she was used as bait.

Jiang Yu felt as if he was hit on the head with a stick, his body and heart were shattered into pieces, and a huge gray cloud enveloped him and swallowed him up completely.

Jiang Tong wanted to reach out and grab her brother's hand, but she couldn't because of the quilt.

Her hands also hurt, as if someone was cutting her skin into pieces, inch by inch.

She sobbed:

"Brother, it hurts so much. I thought that if I became a monster, the pain would go away, but why does it still hurt so much? I don't want to be a monster anymore."

The pain was so severe that she couldn't make a sound and her eyes were wide open with her mouth open.

She struggled to stretch out her only movable hand from the quilt, wanting to hold her brother's hand, just like when they were little.

But Jiang Yu collapsed when he saw that her hands were almost only bones left.

He beat himself and banged his head against the ground, making his face covered in blood.

"Brother, please hold my hand. I will listen to you from now on and stop making a fuss about wanting to eat food. I don't want to know what food tastes like at all. Really, Tongtong, I won't lie to you."

She stretched out her bloody hands and tried to reach in mid-air.

Jiang Yu climbed up and held her tightly. The warm blood made a crazy idea pop into his mind.

Jiang Tong grabbed his hand and forced a smile, but the pain made her expression twisted in pain.

"Brother, I really can't hold on any longer. It hurts too much."

Jiang Yu took out his pistol with tears in his eyes and pointed the gun at his sister who was twitching in pain.

Perhaps death is the best relief for her.

No need to suffer from pain, and no need to be used as an experimental subject.

He could find a quiet place to bury her, leave this sinful world forever, reincarnate, and start a new life.

She should have been buried underground that summer a few years ago.

"Bang——"

Smoke billowed from the black muzzle of the gun, curling around in the room filled with the smell of blood and corruption.

Jiang Yu couldn't tell whether it was tears that blurred his eyes or the smoke from the ammunition that obscured his vision.
