"You two have such a good relationship, you can't just stand by and watch him die in front of you, can you?"

"What exactly do you want! I don't know what you mean!"

Fang Yingqiu stubbornly refused to admit it, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness as she looked at Lu Ling.

Lu Ling's face turned pale.

He had personally witnessed how this Boss Gao tortured and killed prisoners. He was a beast, a pervert, a monster born from the apocalypse!

It was precisely because this man was terrifying enough that Lu Ling, blinded by hatred and anger, took the initiative to seek him out, hoping to use him to get rid of Jin Shu, that scourge.

But now the situation is completely out of his control.

He clearly wanted to use Boss Gao to take back the base, but now he's being threatened with a gun to his head.

Lu Ling's body was trembling uncontrollably.

“Boss Gao, we can sit down and have a good talk. I feel like I’ve seen this superpower you’re talking about somewhere before. Calm down first, I’ll take you to find that person.”

"You still think I'm stupid?! You're useless, your leg was blown up and you don't have the ability to get revenge, so you think you can use my influence to help you get revenge."

Your thoughts are written all over your face. You think you're so clever, that you can fool me?

Boss Gao laughed mockingly.

He had been struggling on the fringes of society for decades before the apocalypse. With the outbreak of the apocalypse, the laws that bound him were completely ineffective. How could the fearless Boss Gao be fooled by a young man who hadn't even graduated from university?

"You're not going to tell the truth? No problem, I have plenty of ways to get people to tell the truth."

After saying that, Boss Gao raised his gun and fired a shot at Lu Ling's remaining leg.

As Lu Ling screamed in agony, Fang Yingqiu was so frightened that she lost her composure and turned to run away.

The entire boat was filled with Boss Gao's men; how could she possibly escape? She was dragged back after only a few steps.

"I thought you two had a great relationship. Now that something's happened, you want to run away by yourself? Young lady, you can't be so selfish."

"Come on, tell me yourself."

"I don't know, I don't know..."

Another shot rang out, and Lu Ling's screams echoed across the entire deck. This time, two or three of his fingers were shot off, and blood gushed out instantly. The man's face, contorted with pain, became exceptionally terrifying and ugly.

"Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu, tell him quickly!! Tell him quickly!!"

Fang Yingqiu just cried and didn't say anything.

That was a treasure she had obtained only after being reborn; how could she be willing to share it with these bandits?

Lu Ling, who was in so much pain that he was about to faint, saw Fang Yingqiu still stubbornly shaking her head.

In an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot with anger, and he lost all reason.

"Fang Yingqiu, you bitch! I lost my entire leg protecting you, and now you don't care about my life or death at all!"

Boss Gao, stop hitting me! I'll tell you, she has a personal space that no one but herself can see. It's huge and she can put anything she sees into it anytime, anywhere!

She has survived to this day thanks to this space!

I've told you everything, please don't kill me. I can even take you to the air defense base. There's a woman in the base named Jin Shu. If I'm not mistaken, she might have the same superpower!

Otherwise, how could she, a woman, have survived unharmed until now!

"Brother Gao, please find me a doctor! My hand, my hand hurts so much! Please find me a doctor!!"

Boss Gao nodded at Lu Ling with satisfaction.

"Why didn't you do this sooner? I've always loved peace, and I've always been eager to recruit someone with your high intelligence!"

"Alright, get a doctor to bandage him up. He absolutely can't die; I might need him later."

Lu Ling was dragged away, utterly humiliated, like a dead dog.

As for Fang Yingqiu, she was treated much better. In Boss Gao's eyes, she was a mobile large storage space. With her around, it would be much easier to steal things in the future.

Such a treasure couldn't be allowed to get away, so when night fell, Fang Yingqiu tried to escape for the first time but was caught red-handed by Boss Gao, who had been waiting outside the door. A metal collar was then placed around her neck.

Boss Gao held the other end of the collar tightly in his hand, and no matter where he went or what he did, he would hold onto the iron chain tightly.

Under his coercion, Fang Yingqiu emptied all the supplies in her space.

She also wanted to keep it a secret and conceal the size of the space, but she wouldn't say it herself. Lu Ling, who was tormented day and night to the point of wishing he were dead, would say it for her.

Boss Gao was extremely good at manipulating people's hearts, and through this back and forth, he roughly calculated Fang Yingqiu's spatial area.

"I can carry a basketball court with me! Hahaha, how lucky am I to have God send me such a treasure! Hahaha, what a pity, I wish this ability belonged to me..."

Seeing his arrogant laughter, Fang Yingqiu felt for the first time what it meant to be living a life worse than death, and to feel as if each day was an eternity.

She lay utterly humiliated at the man's feet, like a lifeless personal possession, devoid of freedom and soul. All she could do was fill her own space with the things he had stolen, as Gao Laoda had demanded.

She couldn't stand living in this hellish environment, but the cost of escaping was too high. She didn't dare to bear the consequences of being caught a second time, so she could only place all her hopes on others.

Boss Gao is about to go to the air defense base. As far as she knows, Jin Shu is most likely a space user as well. Boss Gao will definitely not let her go. She might be able to escape in the chaos. Even if she can't escape, having Jin Shu to share the pain with her is better than letting her suffer Boss Gao's torment day and night alone.

He spared Lu Ling's life, allowing him to lead the way to the base in the mountains.

At this moment, Lu Ling is completely different from the spirited man he once was; at first glance, it's impossible to tell that he's the same person.

Fang Yingqiu was stunned for a long time before she recognized that the man kneeling on the ground with crippled legs, unshaven and with lifeless eyes was Lu Ling, the top student she used to admire the most.

He had lost all his vigor, leaving only a skeleton and a cowardly soul.

Fang Yingqiu simply couldn't connect him with the Lu Ling of the past.

The man before me is not even as good as Boss Gao.

Although Gao Laoda was extremely ugly, he was strong, tall, and ambitious. The gang he controlled was now the best in the area, with more than a dozen large ships forming a huge fleet. On the ships, he was a unique god admired by thousands. He had absolute power of life and death and looked down on the area.

This man, though imprisoning her, also provided her with the best living conditions within his means.
