Seeing the two people opposite her staring in disbelief, Zhen Wanwan secretly gloated, thinking, "I'll scare you to death!"
Before the two could react, she raised her gun and killed them all!
Exhausted, Zhen Wanwan slumped against the wall and slid down. She had been on edge all night, and now that she had taken care of the person, she was completely worn out.
The air was thick with the smell of blood. Zhen Wanwan frowned and looked at the group of children who were huddling together for warmth.
She forced herself to stand up, turned on her flashlight, and searched among the children one by one.
"My darling? My sweetie? Mommy's here!"
"Sweetie? Are you here?"
“Sweetie…”
Zhen Wanwan turned around several times, but still couldn't see anyone, and she was panicking terribly.
Could it be that Guabao and Tianbao weren't kidnapped by these people?
Suddenly, a boy blocked Zhen Wanwan's path: "Are you looking for a pair of very fair-skinned and cute younger brother and sister?"
Zhen Wanwan nodded hurriedly: "Kid, do you know where they are?"
The little boy pursed his lips, staring intently at Zhen Wanwan. He nodded, "I know! They were taken away beforehand!"
Zhen Wanwan's vision went black, her heart pounded, and she was terrified that something might happen to her two children.
She forced herself to calm down, but her hands were already gripping the little boy's arms uncontrollably.
"Kid, do you know where they were taken?"
The little boy nodded and pointed to the way back, saying, "There's a mechanism in the place where we were imprisoned before. There's a path inside, and that's how they were taken out!"
Zhen Wanwan followed his hand and looked over. Hearing what he said, she disregarded her exhaustion and started to walk back.
But after taking only two steps, seeing the pitiful looks in the children's eyes, she paused and said, "I have already killed the human traffickers who brought you here, but there are still a few outside. It is not safe for you to stay here. If you trust me, keep going forward. After you get out, head towards the county town. Tomorrow morning, go to the county government office to report to the authorities!"
Zhen Wanwan's gaze swept across each child's face, and seeing their bewildered expressions, she felt a headache coming on.
She looked at the little boy who had spoken to her earlier: "What's your name?"
The little boy shook his head: "I have no home! I've been an orphan since I was little, begging for food in the next county! They all call me a bedbug!"
Zhen Wanwan was silent for a moment, then looked at the little boy: "The name 'Stinkbug' doesn't sound good. I'll give you a name! You'll be called Changshun, which means that everything you do will go smoothly in the future."
Seeing Changshun's bright eyes, she continued, "Changshun, I'm going to give you a task now. If you complete it, I'll give you a gift."
"Could you help bring the children here to Guangling County?"
Changshun nodded without hesitation, patting his chest and promising, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely bring them all over without missing a single one!"
Zhen Wanwan ruffled his messy hair and handed him the flashlight: "Go on! Be careful! If you see anyone on the way, avoid them if you can!"
Watching the children leave, Zhen Wanwan continued walking back; she needed to find Guaibao and Tianbao.
I wonder if they'll be scared, or if they'll be bullied...
With a heart full of trepidation, Zhen Wanwan rushed back, and finally arrived!
"It's really strange. There are no signs of a fight here. How could those people have been killed by headshots for no reason?"
Zhen Wanwan hurriedly shrank into the space; there were still living people here!
I wonder if those people outside noticed something was wrong and came in!
However, it's good that they're in! Once they're in, she can deal with them all at once, saving her the worry of the children being caught.
Zhen Wanwan gripped the gun and walked forward slowly and cautiously.
"who?"
Zhen Wanwan's body stiffened; that voice…
Her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Husband! It's me!"
Zhu Yuan abruptly withdrew his hidden weapon, took a few quick steps, and sure enough, he saw his wife!
"Ah Wan! Are you hurt?"
He had just seen the thief's wound and knew he had been shot. He guessed that Zhen Wanwan was responsible.
Worried that she might get hurt, they rushed in to look for her.
Zhu Yuan looked her up and down and saw that she only had a few bloodstains on her skirt and was not injured, so he was relieved.
Zhen Wanwan didn't have time to catch up with Zhu Yuan, and hurriedly pulled him aside, saying, "Husband, Guabao and Tianbao aren't here. They were taken away beforehand!"
"There's a secret passage here. Let's find it quickly so we can rescue them!"
Zhu Yuan frowned, sensing something amiss. Seeing Zhen Wanwan's anxiety, he reassured her, "Wanwan, calm down. Guabao and Tianbao have dozens of bodyguards with them; they will definitely protect them."
Even so, Zhuyuan immediately turned around and ordered someone to find the mechanism.
Someone found it in no time!
"Your Highness, look here!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a section of the wall had suddenly caved in, slowly forming a door.
Someone stepped forward and pushed the door open, revealing a hidden passage behind it.
Zhu Yuan took Zhen Wanwan's hand and went inside together. After they left, the door behind them closed automatically.
This secret passage was different from the others; Zhenwan and the others could see the way clearly without using any lights.
The walls were covered with strange patterns and words, and Zhen Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at them.
This thing looks like scribbles. Could it be that, as those human traffickers said, this place was originally a tomb?
Zhu Yuan thought Zhen Wanwan was scared, so he quickly pulled her closer and held her in his arms.
Zhen Wanwan shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
They walked for a while longer, and Zhen Wanwan felt that this was not the way out at all, but rather like entering a deeper part of the world.
What she saw before her eyes made her even more certain that her guess was correct.
A wooden coffin was placed in the very center of the room, surrounded by a mess. The coffin lid had been torn off and thrown to the other side.
Zhen Wanwan shuddered in horror; the eerie atmosphere was just like something out of a horror movie.
Watching a movie is scary, but being in it yourself amplifies that terror a thousandfold.
She instinctively clung to Zhuyuan with both hands, showing none of the ruthlessness she had displayed when she had so readily killed someone.
Zhu Yuan looked around and led Zhen Wanwan to a wall. Zhen Wanwan glanced at it and saw nothing special.
Zhu Yuan shielded her behind him and pushed her inward with all his might, creating another path.
It's a maze of twists and turns, with one hidden danger after another.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Zhu Yuan led the way with Zhen Wanwan, and the rest followed them.
Things were much more normal here, and Zhen Wanwan was still clinging to Zhu Yuan.
Zhu Yuan was unwilling to let go of her hand, saying, "It's not safe in here, you'd better not stray too far from me!"
Zhen Wanwan thought it made sense, so she continued to lead the way.
"Hahaha... I'm so lucky today, I got those two treasures, my master is overjoyed!"
"Absolutely! I'd be grateful if he didn't go crazy and yell at us to kill him."
