"To make a long story short, the person who just spoke is the one who developed the zombie virus. Moreover, according to him, the zombie virus is hidden in everyone's body. In other words, each of us has the possibility of becoming a zombie without any signs."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
They can try their best to ensure that they are not bitten by zombies, but what about the virus, the virus hidden in their own bodies, what should they do to ensure that the virus does not break out in their bodies?
A feeling of powerlessness surged in everyone's hearts, and a depressed atmosphere quickly spread.
…
"I've been dealing with this matter recently. We haven't been back for a long time, and it's difficult for my father to handle it alone."
Xiao Mingye's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he chuckled softly, "Fortunately, they have the will but not the courage to act, otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation now."
The discouragement lasted only a moment. Xiao Mingye snapped his fingers and said, "When I get back, I'll teach them how to behave properly!"
All of them were angry: "..."
"In short, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Youzhou. His Majesty's words mean that he will not acknowledge those people. Everything they are doing now is useless. You just need to think about how to get information from Daiqin."
When it comes to serious matters, Xiao Mingye would listen to whatever Du Chen said, and he nodded obediently.
His injuries hadn't healed yet, and after saying this, he felt sleepy. He lay down flat on his back, breathing slowly. "Daiqin... this guy won't take any pushovers... you have to... be careful. No matter what he says... don't be... provoked..."
The sound gradually faded away.
Xiao Mingye curled the corners of his mouth, carefully put his hand back, slowly stood up and walked out.
As he closed the door, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly.
…
In the imperial prison, Daiqin's treatment had plummeted compared to when he first came in.
Before Xiao Mingye arrived, there were already several bloody marks on his body from being whipped.
"Tell me, how did you escape from Mobei to Tianqi? What is this thing? What is your purpose in coming to Tianqi?!"
No matter what the jailer said, Daiqin kept his head down and did not move.
"If you don't drink a toast, you'll drink a penalty!"
The jailer cursed angrily and was about to get other torture instruments, but he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye and stopped immediately.
He saluted and said, "Your Highness."
Xiao Mingye waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what did you ask?"
The jailer shook his head: "This kid is very stubborn and refuses to say anything."
Xiao Mingye's eyes darkened slightly: "You don't want to tell me? That means the punishment is not effective enough. Let's prepare for water torture."
The jailer looked up suddenly: "Your Highness?"
The jailer certainly didn't sympathize with Daiqin. He just used water torture with the intention of killing him. He hadn't asked anything yet. If he accidentally killed him...
Wasn’t that person arrested in vain?
"No problem, just do as I say."
"yes."
Xiao Mingye walked up to him. Daiqin's breathing was still steady. It was obvious that the beating just now did not cause much damage to him.
The wound on his left shoulder that Xiao Mingye had stabbed him in had already stopped bleeding. Seeing Xiao Mingye approach him, Dai Qin snorted softly, "You don't dare to kill me, do you? Feel free to use whatever means you have. It's not like I haven't suffered pain before."
He laughed wildly, and the chains on his body rattled.
Xiao Mingye curled the corners of his lips slightly, but did not respond to him. Instead, he looked at the medicine bottle on the table beside him, pinched it with two fingers, opened it and took a look.
Daiqin rolled his eyes but remained calm.
Xiao Mingye really didn't notice it. He asked, "What is this?"
"What could it be? Medicine to treat injuries," Daiqin tried to be calm and pretended to be indifferent.
Xiao Mingye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Really?"
He tossed the bottle up and down, Daiqin trying his best to control himself, but he didn't notice that his eyeballs were moving up and down with the movement of throwing the bottle.
This bottle is very important to him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mingye put the medicine into his arms.
"Why? A bottle of healing medicine, your country doesn't have it?"
Seeing Xiao Mingye's actions, Daiqin couldn't help but say.
Xiao Mingye looked at him with amusement: "Yes, there is, but the healing medicine that allows you to carry it with you must not be ordinary medicine. Take it back and ask someone to take a look. Maybe they can make it for you."
"By the way, since you're new here, you might not know that besides the imperial physician, the witch doctor of Nan Gu is also here."
Daiqin's breathing stopped.
Why is the witch doctor from Nan Gu in Tianqi?!
As he was speaking, the jailer had already prepared the torture instruments. Unlike other instruments that were covered in blood and whose original colors were almost invisible, this one looked too simple and ordinary.
A slanted stool, a basin of water, and a few handkerchiefs.
Daiqin was held down by them, lying on a slanted bench, confused.
"What's this?"
No one paid any attention to him. Xiao Mingye said coldly, "Execute."
A water-soaked handkerchief covered his face, and his breathing was suddenly obstructed, but still within the tolerable range.
A moment later, it was as if a cup of water was poured on his face, and another water-soaked handkerchief was covered on it.
After two pictures, he already felt a slight suffocation. Fear suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, and Daiqin's hands clenched unconsciously.
Xiao Mingye sneered.
The speed increased, and more and more handkerchiefs covered his face. Daiqin felt as if he was in water, unable to breathe. All he inhaled into his nose was water, and his body began to struggle violently.
“Hmm…Hmm!”
The jailers separated and held down his hands and legs. Daiqin twisted his body and tried to shake his head to get the handkerchief off his face, but failed.
The handkerchief was still covering his face, and Daiqin's struggles became more and more intense. A fishy smell emanated from him, and water dripped slowly from his trouser legs.
Xiao Mingye still didn't call for a halt, and the jailers continued to cover him. Daiqin's whole body was already convulsing. Seeing that his struggles were getting weaker and weaker, Xiao Mingye finally said, "Let him go."
The jailer was afraid that he would suffocate, so he quickly tore off the handkerchief. Daiqin began to cough heart-wrenchingly and curled up on the ground, with blood flowing from his eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears.
Bleeding from all seven orifices is nothing more than this.
Seeing the fear, terror and relief in his eyes, Xiao Mingye sneered: "I think you should be willing to tell me now, right? Or do you want to do it again?"
Thinking of the feeling of suffocation and near death just now, Daiqin shuddered violently. He never wanted to experience that feeling again in his life!
He opened his mouth, his throat so dry that it seemed as if he could draw blood from speaking, and his voice was hoarse: "I... I say..."
"I was able to escape from Mobei because Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Lingyu teamed up to severely injure me. The people guarding me relaxed their vigilance when they saw that I couldn't even get up."
