After Jiang Li finished speaking, he walked in the direction the waiter pointed. He had to go all the way with the act. Only after Jiang Li had walked far away did the gazes behind him slowly withdraw.
Jiang Li realized that the line of sight had disappeared, but he still didn't dare to relax. He went to the restroom before returning to his seat.
When Gu Jin saw that Jiang Li hadn't returned for so long, she almost went out to look for her.
"Why did it take you so long? Did you encounter any danger?"
Gu Jin asked nervously after Jiang Li sat down.
"No, we just met in a room..."
Jiang Li told Gu Jin, Shi Lin, and Fu Xiaxia about her encounter with Xiao Cong and what Xiao Cong had told her.
Gu Jin and the others were also shocked after hearing this, as they had already been prepared based on what the waiter had said earlier.
But according to Jiang Li, this place is far more perverted and disgusting than he imagined. Such a place should never be left behind.
Fu Xiaxia and Shi Lin, who were standing nearby, were equally shocked. She had a fiery temper and when she heard this, she immediately thought of rescuing people and even wanted to blow up the place. Fortunately, Jiang Li and the others stopped her in time.
Jiang Li had the same thought. Although he was not a savior and did not have the ability, he still felt disgusted by the sight of such a place and had the urge to blow it up with a bomb.
Jiang Li knew he couldn't act rashly; he had to save not only Xiao Cong but also the others.
Moreover, they alone certainly couldn't rescue everyone. They could escape on their own, but what about those who were imprisoned? What would happen to them?
After discussing it, the group decided that Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia should go out first to find Shi Yuan and Fang Qingxun, while Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia should return to the villa to wait, ready to leave the base at any time.
The signal is to set off fireworks. If no fireworks are set off, it means there's nothing wrong. If fireworks are set off, everyone should escape separately and then gather outside the base.
Then Shi Lin and Shi Yuan took the video that Jiang Li had just taken with his phone and went to find Captain Wang to come and rescue the people.
The auction will last two and a half hours from start to finish. If Shi Lin and his team go out to find Captain Wang and arrange for people to come back, two hours should be enough.
If Shi Lin and Shi Yuan haven't returned after two hours, it means that Captain Wang was aware of the situation and might even be a participant.
Then they themselves need to prepare to escape from the base.
Although Captain Wang and the others couldn't completely trust him, they all felt that he was a responsible person who genuinely wanted to manage the base better, and they believed he wasn't involved. However, they had no choice but to take a gamble now.
If Captain Wang arrives and starts rescuing people, then their efforts won't have been in vain.
They would certainly try to save them if they could, but since they themselves were under threat, and they weren't saints, their own lives were definitely more important.
If you lose your own life, how can you save others?
"Shi Lin, Fu Xiaxia, in case of danger, the most important thing is to protect yourselves. Keep these with you just in case."
Gu Jin had Jiang Li take out two pistols, a grenade, and a tranquilizer gun from his spatial storage, and then handed them to Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia through his open coat.
From the outside, all you could see were two pieces of clothing that had been accidentally joined together. Luckily it was winter, so Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia were able to carry more things with them.
Jiang Li also gave his Tang sword to Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia.
"good."
The two accepted the items one by one, knowing that this was the limit they could carry; any more and they would easily give themselves away. Besides, they already had something on them today.
The most dangerous part of the whole process was actually when Shi Yuan and Shi Lin went to find Captain Wang, because it was uncertain whether Captain Wang knew about it. If he did, Shi Lin and the others would definitely fight with Captain Wang and his men.
We don’t know if we’ll be able to escape then. It will be much easier for the others. Fu Xiaxia and Fang Qingxun are ready to drive away at any time. Jiang Li and the others are even more so. Jiang Li has a lot of weapons in his space. If things get really bad, he can just use a rocket launcher to break through the encirclement.
After Shi Lin and Fu Xiaxia walked for a while, the auction officially began. Just as Jiang Li had guessed, the screens on both sides were used to display the auction items.
The auction items weren't all people as Jiang Li had imagined. At the beginning, there were many other items up for auction, including rare foods, as well as cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and antique jewelry.
Food and alcohol items were doing well, with some people bidding, but the prices weren't very high. Antiques and jewelry, on the other hand, only attracted a handful of people.
When they reached the latter part of the auction hall and started auctioning off some of the people who had been captured, the enthusiasm of the crowd was noticeably higher than before.
Jiang Li looked down and saw a girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She wasn't particularly pretty, but she had delicate features. She wore the same iron chains on her hands and feet as Xiao Cong, which was to prevent them from escaping.
She was wearing very little clothing, at least not in this weather, and the clothes were all old; they must have been the little girl's own.
The little girl was brought on stage and kept her head down nervously, her fingers constantly gripping the hem of her clothes. When the person next to her saw that the little girl was not cooperating, they roughly pinched her chin, forcing everyone to see the little girl's face.
The little girl was forced to raise her head, and she cried in fear, her body trembling. Some people in the club liked this and couldn't wait to start bidding.
Bidding continued, and finally, a man with number fifty-six won the bid. Judging from the man's voice, Jiang Li thought he was quite old; even a young girl could probably call him grandpa. How could he be so shameless?
Jiang Li didn't know what these people were thinking. She only felt that it was all extremely absurd and disgusting. Natural disasters had already brought such great danger to people, but she never expected that humans would create danger for themselves and harm their compatriots.
Gu Jin sensed Jiang Li's anger and took Jiang Li's hand to comfort her.
"We have done our best to help them, and we believe that Captain Wang will not let us down. We will be able to save them in time."
"Yes, I know."
Jiang Li held Gu Jin's hand and replied.
Gu Jin saw that Jiang Li had calmed down, but still held Jiang Li's hand.
The next ones were all little girls and little boys, and they got prettier and prettier. Later on, they even changed their clothes.
The more visually appealing it is, the higher the auction price, and the more enthusiastic everyone becomes.
Among them were two women who looked to be in their thirties, but were very beautiful.
This attracted quite a few bidders, with the number being no less than that of the little girl at the beginning.
Finally, as time went by, the number of people participating in the auction increased, and the bidding time became longer and longer. There were only about half an hour left until the agreed time.
It's almost Xiao Cong's turn. If Xiao Cong goes on stage and Captain Wang still hasn't arrived, then they'll have to leave on their own.
