Chapter 545 Hateful
Xia Yan now understood why Chu Wanfu insisted on borrowing the display screen that usually played missing person notices.
On one hand, there are the survivors who are heartbroken because they cannot find their loved ones, but still hold on to a glimmer of hope that they will be reunited one day; on the other hand, there are the "executioners" who do not care and easily describe the process of the action.
He wants to give everyone a result, and this is the best choice.
The voice behind the video sounded confused.
"What kind of place is a laboratory anyway... Where did the survivors go?"
The man suddenly leaned forward, staring as if he wanted to see what kind of person could ask such a question.
He threw his head back and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, and he pounded his fists.
"Survive? That's hilarious! Is the word 'laboratory' so hard to understand? If the chances of survival were that high, why would we be so busy arresting people all day long?"
At this time, the scene was switched to a young woman who shrunk her neck and dared not look at people.
"Tell the truth. Your accomplices have already revealed everything. It doesn't matter whether you hide it or not."
“…”
"I know you don't believe me—you're responsible for smuggling people into the black market, right? How did you trick those people into joining your business?"
After a few seconds of silence, she raised her head, her eyes motionless, like a pool of stagnant water, making the red mole under the end of her eye more vivid, adding a touch of bewitching charm to her whole person.
But when she spoke, her voice was smoky.
"...They really did tell you everything. I was only responsible for deceiving people in the early stages of the apocalypse. Afterwards... they all became smarter, and I couldn't fool them anymore, so I became their supervisor."
"continue."
She licked her dry mouth, "That's all."
"Oh, that's not right. You did this job until you were caught."
“…”
"Still not telling?"
"...Later on, I will be responsible for sneaking into the base and selecting the right people to coax out of the city. Our people will be there to pick them up outside."
“Where do the people who were deceived end up?”
"The old ones are sent to farm, the men to mine, and the pretty women can fetch a good price on the black market with a little body shaping. The ugly ones... are fine as long as they can be used. As for the children, they are usually used as bait."
"Um?!"
Suddenly, a wailing sounded at the scene. Everyone who had registered for the missing person notice stood up, waving their arms and crying:
"My child was taken away just like that! He told me the day before that he would help me share the burden when he grew up, but the next day he never came back. I've been looking for him for five years!"
"She's hiding something! The base out back noticed something and came to arrest me. I don't know how she got the news in advance, so before she left, she found my wife and mother and told them she was going to take them outside the city to look for me! To this day, I still don't know if she's alive or dead!"
"Human traffickers! Kill her!"
“Human traffickers!…”
The whole audience cheered and the murderous aura disappeared. Those three words struck everyone's heart heavily, making people want to personally eat their flesh and blood to comfort their sad souls that were restless every night!
Damn it! Damn it!!
Among the four people standing in the front, the older woman seemed unable to stand and staggered and fell on the shoulder of the person next to her.
The guard soldier immediately stepped forward and straightened her up.
Xia Yan was attracted by her actions, but just happened to see the panic and fear that flashed across her face.
Isn’t this the Aunt Mei who threatened me before leaving?
There's something wrong with the expression.
Turning my sight, I saw the woman next to her. It seemed to be the woman with glasses who led the way...
"Everyone be quiet."
Seeing the noise getting louder and louder, Chu Wanfu stood up and made a downward pressing motion with both hands.
Countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, pain, torment, helplessness, sadness, bewilderment and anger, all kinds of emotions mixed together and transmitted from afar.
Whose children are these, whose parents are these, whose husbands are these, or whose siblings are these...
No, none of them, they are all alone now.
The connecting cords that symbolize family affection and love were broken one by one, as if a balloon suddenly lost its rope and was floating in the wind, frost, rain and snow. Perhaps it would burst at the next moment and eventually be buried in the mud, never to be seen again.
Chu Wanfu was suddenly hit hard by this heavy emotion. The words he had prepared in advance became as heavy as a thousand pounds, falling all the way to his heels, pulling him down from the air and firmly stomping him onto the ground.
Chu Wanfu's body swayed, his fingers firmly supporting the table, the bulging veins revealing his uneasy heart.
He looked at everyone one by one, and they were also waiting.
He only said one sentence, four very short words:
"Trust us."
Everyone sat down again with a dejected look in their eyes.
The video continues to play.
...
Xia Yan looked at the woman with the red mole who had just appeared in the video with great interest. She was frightened by the shouting and cursing of the crowd, and trembled as she stuck to the person next to her.
The man looked at her and didn't look away.
This is a birdman with crooked wings drooping to the ground.
Xia Yan suddenly remembered that when Lan Wu came to pick up the deer and took him home, he also flew away with his big wings flapping. And once the deer let slip that they were forced to get separated because they were being chased by someone.
Is there any connection between these two things?
Curiosity drove Xia Yan to walk up to them and ask the question.
The birdman's expression shifted from helplessness to confusion. "That shouldn't be the case. When we first investigated, we didn't find any big bosses behind them... So, no wonder we were so close to catching up with the deer when we suddenly lost the signal."
He glanced at Xia Yan and said with regret, "If that bird hadn't been in the way, I would have continued chasing you. Even if I couldn't beat you, I would have gone back and informed Boss Bin, and he would have sent someone to kill you right away, not giving you the chance to become a big boss. Otherwise, how could we have ended up like this?!"
Xia Yan ignored his attitude and continued to ask what he wanted to know: "Can you still sense them now?"
The birdman tilted his head to the side and said stiffly, "No, they've already hidden in the deep forest. No one can find them."
"One last question. Did you gain this ability after merging with an animal?"
"Bullshit! You guys are allowed to have all sorts of weird powers like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but we can't just grow wings and fly?"
The birdman stiffened his neck in defiance and moved his wings, trying to open them.
After achieving his goal, Xia Yan kicked the soldier and slapped him left and right. He then took the special gun hanging on the soldier and beat him hard with the butt of the gun.
"If I hadn't spared you for General Chu's sake, I would have crushed you into a small cube and sold your crystal cores. Also, you should be thankful you didn't show up in front of me back then, otherwise, would you still be living comfortably until now?!"
Xia Yan grabbed his wings, pulled him in front of her, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Let me tell you a secret. I've been incredibly strong since the day I opened my business!"
