Li Aiguo retracted his hand as if he was scalded and did not dare to speak. However, three big words were clearly written in his wide eyes: You are crazy!
Zhang Sujuan pursed her lips and looked back with a determined look. She would not have dared to have such an idea before, but recently she felt that God had given her inspiration and opportunity!
Let's go back to more than a month ago. The car that the couple and Li Liang and Li Li's parents were sitting in had its tires punctured by Wang Zheng, and it instantly flipped over and was submerged by the surging zombies. But fortunately, the car was well sealed, and they stayed in the car for two days and two nights, not daring to breathe, until the zombies finally dispersed a little.
From Li Liang and Li Li's perspective, they could see that it was Wang Zheng who did it, and they could guess the reason. But the people in the car were a little confused, and Li Aiguo's eldest brother even scolded the world for having so many bad people.
Without transportation, they could not walk to Hongcheng, so they could only return to the service area they had passed by before. Fortunately, there was still a lot of food and supplies in the car. If they could find a car with empty seats, they could use the supplies to exchange for seats to go to Hongcheng, which would be a solution.
This service area is a small gathering place. Most people just stop by to rest and exchange supplies and information with people in the service area. Some people have no supplies, no cars, and no gasoline. They have nowhere to go and can only live here temporarily. They kill zombies and dig crystal cores every day to exchange for food, or exchange with passers-by for a ticket to the Wanghong City base.
They stayed in the service area for three or four days. Four middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties, with limited fighting power and unwilling to separate, no private car was willing to take them. People would rather pay less but choose a few young and strong ones, preferably with special abilities, so that they can take care of each other on the road and increase their chances of survival.
What a burden it is to take care of four elderly people?
Finally, on the fourth day, a convoy arrived at the service area. The four or five vehicles looked very powerful, with five or six superpowers in them and a lot of empty space on the vehicles. They barely squeezed out four seats for them, and of course the price they offered was not low. In addition to the rations they had to eat on the road, it was almost all their drinking water.
The team had to rest at the service area for one night and set off early the next morning. However, that night, the service area encountered a catastrophic disaster.
A group of high-level psychics suddenly appeared, more than 20 people in total, and took advantage of the darkness to surround the entire service area. All the psychics in the service area were killed, and ordinary people were taken to the mountains. Only a few psychics escaped that night.
Only when she reached the mountain did Zhang Sujuan realize what hell on earth was.
This group of people also brought the bodies of the psychics to the mountain, smashed their skulls open, dug out the crystal cores from the psychics' brains, and then absorbed the human brain crystal cores just like they absorbed the zombie crystal cores.
Zhang Sujuan heard the two people say smugly, "After waiting for so long, I finally encountered a group of fat sheep. The level of these superpowers is quite high. Absorbing one is equivalent to absorbing dozens of zombie crystal cores. Those that match my superpowers will bring unspeakable benefits. Since I started catching fat sheep, my superpowers have grown rapidly."
"Me too. Just now, a group of fat sheep passed by here, and there was a gold-type mutant among them. Isn't this a perfect match for my ability? Unfortunately, we were too cautious and refused to stay the night no matter how much we persuaded them. So we let them run away." The other person's tone was full of regret and sorrow.
Zhang Sujuan felt cold all over when she heard this: Isn't that referring to the team before them? These people had actually been staring at the service area from the mountain, waiting like hunters for the fat sheep to fall into their trap.
It just so happens that this service area has an excellent geographical location, and there are really a constant stream of rabbits crashing into it.
This group of people are not only vicious, but also extremely cautious. Even if there are extremely beautiful young women among the superpowers, they will not leave them alone, but kill them all to dig out their crystal cores. They only lock up young women among ordinary people for their pleasure, and never leave any hidden dangers.
The rest of the people were caught and taken to the mountain and beaten first. Her leg and half of Li Aiguo's ear were broken at that time.
During the beating, anyone who showed any intention of resisting was killed... and eaten.
That's right, eat them. The bodies of those superpowers also became food for these devils. When Zhang Sujuan saw her uncle fall down, she was glad for the first time that she and Li Aiguo were two different people, so she could survive.
After that, they worked like slaves in the factory every day, doing odd jobs and serving people. Zhang Sujuan was assigned to take care of the abducted young women, while Li Aiguo was assigned to do rough work in the kitchen.
But they are not absolutely safe. Human flesh will eventually run out. If there are no new fat sheep coming to the service area by then, it will be their turn.
With an invisible knife hanging over their necks and the threat of death at any time, how could no one want to run? The reason why Li Aiguo was so terrified and did not agree with Zhang Sujuan's proposal was because there was a brain-powered person among the group of demons.
He was a very thin middle-aged man who looked weak and powerless. He didn't need to go down the mountain to catch fat sheep. He just lay there every day, but it seemed that countless invisible eyes were patrolling. Every move of everyone in the factory was under his control.
Therefore, in this factory, ordinary people dare not even speak casually, for fear that they will be sentenced to death if they say something wrong.
Many of those who planned to escape were caught in the planning stage. Sometimes, when the person is bored, he will deliberately let them run for a distance, making them feel that they have a chance to escape. Just like a cat catching a mouse, sometimes it will not bite it to death in one bite, but will slowly play with it to death.
His physical fitness was relatively poor, so he could only achieve perverted satisfaction through such means.
Those who escaped were caught and suffered a fate worse than death, without exception. Li Aiguo was shocked. So many young people failed to succeed. How could his wife have such an idea? Wasn't she overestimating her own old limbs?
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. You still have to work tomorrow. Don't delay doing things for the adults." Li Aiguo hugged his wife and patted her, not forgetting to curry favor with the psychics in his words, so that if they were heard, they would not be able to find fault.
He thought it was impossible for them to escape. Since it was impossible, they might as well accept their fate. This way, they could live a few more days and stay together for a few more days. They wouldn't have to suffer too much when they died. He worked in the kitchen, and the bodies of those who escaped and were caught were torn into pieces. They were going to die anyway, so why should they suffer like this before they died?
It’s just a pity that their son was still waiting for them at the Hongcheng base, and they couldn’t see him before they died.
Zhang Sujuan touched her broken leg. It still hurts a lot because it has never been treated. But she still has to drag this leg to work every day.
When her leg was broken, the broken bone even pierced her skin, causing a lot of blood to flow. Those people laughed and bet on whether she could survive for a week, but she survived till now.
She touched her chest again, where a jade pendant from her family hung. It didn't look very expensive, and white jade and jadeite were not valuable these days. That day, her leg was broken, and her bloody hand touched the pendant, and Zhang Sujuan suddenly felt that the pendant was a little different.
She had some guesses in her mind, but due to the existence of the brain-powered person, she had never tried it. But the existence of this pendant was like a shot of adrenaline, so she couldn't wait to die like her husband: What a low probability event, is there a second pendant like this in the world? She could come across this, she must not be dead!
There must be a way. They must be able to escape. Her son is still waiting for her at the Rainbow City Base.
Shen Qing and his friends had already arrived at the service area. There were quite a few people here, some passing by and some permanent residents, about 40 to 50 people. Perhaps because they had come to an environment that was familiar to her but not to Song Kaiji, or because they were basically sure that her second uncle, second aunt and her parents were not dead, Li Li was a little bolder at this moment, and she also wanted to get closer to Song Kaiji, so she took the initiative to introduce them, "We have stopped at this service area before, it's quite convenient here, we can exchange food and water, and even gasoline, but the price is very expensive." She whispered, "I feel like there is an organizer behind this, those permanent residents are quite methodical in their work."
As the car stopped here, the attention of the people in the service area was also attracted. Several people were looking at the car approaching them, but Song Kaiji had already waved his hand and put the car into the space.
The conflict between Li Liang and Wang Zheng also gave him some inspiration. It is better not to park the car outside when there are outsiders around to avoid being tampered with.
"Wow, a space user." A man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old with a crew cut came over and exclaimed, "It looks like the space is quite large. Does this brother have any food he's willing to exchange? I have water, gasoline, and other miscellaneous items."
Li Li smiled and said to Song Kaiji, "This is Brother Zhuang Yezhuang. We exchanged gasoline with him when we rested here last time. He is a nice guy and gave me some snacks." Although it was just a small biscuit wrapped in an individual package, it was very precious in the end times, which made Li Li like him very much. "If we want to stay here tonight, we can tell him. He is a local boss here and he wants to collect a little bit of supplies. But if I tell him, maybe he will give me a discount."
Then she greeted the man: "Brother Zhuang, nice to see you again. I still remember the cookies you gave me!"
Zhuang Ye was stunned, and after carefully examining Li Li, he smiled: "Little beauty, why are you back again? And you've been tied up?"
At this moment, Li Li's arms were still tied behind her back by Qu Weiwei's vines, but the area was not so large. Li Liang, on the other hand, was still tied up like a dumpling and was dragged on the ground by Tang Wenjie.
Li Li smiled awkwardly: "We are a family, my cousin is just joking with me." She looked at Song Kaiji and pleaded: "Brother, please let me go, it's really inconvenient for me to do this."
However, Song Kaiji just kept a sullen face and ignored her.
Zhuang Ye looked at the vine for a while, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Wood-type psychics are great, I am also a wood-type psychic."
He raised his head and scanned the faces of Song Kaiji and his group for a moment, with a gleam in his eyes.
