Now that she had found the person, Gu Zuozuo was no longer in a hurry. She sat down and watched how Qi Meng would save herself. Meng Tian had been knocked unconscious and wouldn't wake up for a while, so there was no need to worry about her getting anxious.

Just as Qi Meng was struggling to break free of the ropes binding her, she heard voices outside, which froze her in place.

"Damn it! This girl is really hard to catch. If I hadn't reacted quickly, she would have gotten away!"

The short man dragged an unconscious girl in, tied her up with a rope, and dragged her toward the room where people were being held. Behind him followed a young man and an elderly woman in her fifties or sixties, each holding a child who looked to be one or two years old.

"Isn't it because you gave yourself away? Haven't you had enough of your woman yet? Staring at her the whole time, anyone would be suspicious?"

The old woman snorted coldly and then threw the unconscious boy in her arms into the house.

The short man lewdly grabbed the girl's chest, the sensation instantly arousing his desire.

“Look at what Grandma is saying. All the women I used to play with were married women. Anyway, who knows how many times they were passed on to the mountain people? I’ve never touched a tender young girl before.”

The old woman snorted coldly, slapped away his unruly hand, and spoke sternly.

"Be honest, a virgin is worth more than a married woman. You don't want to make more money, but I do!"

The short man sheepishly withdrew his hand from under the girl's clothes, and threw her into the house in a fit of anger, his actions rough and showing no concern that the girl might get hurt.

"What are you looking at! Behave yourselves or I'll strip you naked!"

The girls were terrified, their faces pale, huddled together, not daring to utter a single word, tears welling in their eyes.

Qi Meng suppressed the anger rising in her head and quickened her pace. She didn't know when Zuo Zuo and the others would find her, and she couldn't just sit and wait to die. She had to save herself!

[Host, I think you should take a look at the cellar in the backyard...]

Gu Zuozuo turned her gaze away from Qi Meng, and upon hearing the system's suggestion, tilted her head in confusion: "The cellar?"

What's in the cellar?

The system remained silent for a long time, seemingly searching for the right words.

[Host, have you ever seen a mass grave?]

Gu Zuozuo suddenly sat up straight, her expression serious.

"Is that a mass grave down there?"

【no. 】

Gu Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. She knew these people wouldn't be so bold…

[This is a trap with at least a hundred people.]

Gu Zuozuo froze. A hundred people?

You mean...?

[Host, this is what I received: there are many skeletons in the backyard cellar, the oldest dating back over ten years, and the most recent ones have already begun to decompose.]

Gu Zuozuo tried to hold back, but finally couldn't resist. She had originally wanted to see how Qi Meng would get rid of the human traffickers, but now what was there to watch!
