Perhaps because they heard an unfamiliar, female voice, the body on the bed moved very slightly.
Then, very slowly and with great difficulty, the woman turned her neck and "looked" toward the doorway.
What kind of eyes were those? Hollow, numb, and ashen, as if all the light had been drained away, leaving only boundless darkness.
Wen Qing, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan and the others wanted to rush forward, but as they took a step, they subconsciously looked at Lu Nange.
Lu Nange nodded...
The group immediately rushed to the bedside as if they had been freed from their restraints.
"Don't be afraid, we're here to save you!" Gu Wan tried to soften her voice, even though it still carried barely suppressed anger.
The woman struggled to get up, but her movements were extremely weak.
As she struggled, the blanket slipped down even further, and Lu Nange and her group finally saw that she was completely naked!
Moreover, her limbs, wrists, and ankles were all firmly locked to the iron frame at the head of the bed by rough, cold chains!
The chains rubbed against the gaping wounds, leaving fresh bloodstains.
"Damn it! These beasts! They deserve to go to hell! To be torn to pieces!" Luo Xingyou finally couldn't hold back her tears and started cursing. Her voice was choked with sobs.
"You're worse than pigs and dogs!"
She manipulated her metal-based superpowers, and with a few soft clicks, the chains opened.
Lu Nange silently took out water, soft bread, and a simple long dress from her spatial storage.
Wen Qing and Sang Yan approached cautiously.
They helped the woman up, one on each side, and when their fingertips touched the hard bones, Wen Qing's breath caught in her throat for a moment—the body was terrifyingly light.
They helped the woman put on the long dress, and the woman's body trembled uncontrollably.
Wen Qing unscrewed the water bottle, brought it to the woman's chapped lips, and after a few sips, a faint ripple seemed to appear in her bleak eyes.
It was only then that they saw that the woman's open mouth was empty—her tongue had been cut off at the root.
Wen Qing gently placed his hand on the woman's battered body. A soft, healing white light flowed from his palm, and wherever the light touched, the purplish bruises gradually faded, and the torn flesh slowly healed.
With red-rimmed eyes, Sang Yan held the woman's withered hand: "Don't be afraid, we're here to save you!"
Wen Qing: "We'll take you away, we'll definitely take you away from here."
However, after catching her breath, the woman used the flickering firelight in Gu Wan's hand to slowly scan Lu Nange's face and everyone else's face.
There was no joy in those eyes, only bottomless fear.
She suddenly raised her trembling hand, first pointing to herself, then shaking her head violently, as if trying to shake off something terrifying.
Then, she waved her hand repeatedly toward the door with all her might, her thin arms drawing anxious arcs in the air.
Her mouth was open, and broken "ah ah" sounds came from her throat. The expression on her face changed from numbness to anxiety, and even a pleading look.
Luo Xingyou: "Don't get agitated, we'll take you away right away! Don't be afraid!"
Yu Wei, who had been standing at the door, finally lost control.
She covered her mouth, tears seeping through her fingers, choking as she translated.
"She said...she said she'd had enough of living, and just let her die like this, please leave her alone!"
She said, "You all need to get out of here...get out of here! They'll find out soon...it'll be the end of you!"
