(From now on, updates will generally be after 5 PM, three updates a day.)
The two of them trembled with fear when I slapped them.
Du Xu watched with great interest.
So I took the opportunity to remove the blindfold from their eyes and let them open them.
I stood in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, the fear in them was evident; they were terrified by what I had just said.
They stared at me blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
I glanced at the two men, then pointed at the slightly taller one and said, "Let's start with you."
The guy was terrified when he heard this. He shook his head and clenched his fists, not daring to reach out. His eyes were full of pleading. His mouth was taped shut, so he could only make "woo woo woo..." sounds. At first glance, it sounded like he was crying.
As for the other person next to him, he looked completely relieved, but the fear in his eyes was unmistakable.
"Here I go, you can take a closer look. I'll cut a layer of skin on the back of your hand first so you can see what's inside, so even if you clench your fist, it won't help."
As I spoke, I began to make the cut.
Before the scalpel tip even touched the back of his hand, the man began to writhe and cry wildly, behaving like an epileptic, sitting in a chair and shaking his body, trying to escape.
However, the chair and the rope were very sturdy, and no matter how much he resisted, he could not escape.
In an instant, the scalpel touched the back of the other person's hand, and a moment later, the tip of the scalpel pierced the skin, and blood flowed down from it.
"No, no, no..."
Just then, the guy started mumbling something incoherently. I stopped what I was doing, looked up at him, and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"No, no! No, not at all! No, not at all!"
I nodded and asked, "You mean you're going to tell me?"
The guy nodded quickly, tears streaming down his face, and looked at me with pleading eyes, as if hoping I would give him a chance.
I stared into his eyes to make sure he was truly too scared to resist me before putting away the scalpel and smiling slightly. "Okay, I'll give you a chance to speak."
After I finished speaking, I glanced at Du Xu, who was watching the show from the side, and said, "Could you please drag the other guy out? I'll ask him first, and then I'll ask the other guy."
Okay.
Du Xu agreed and dragged the other guy out of the warehouse. In no time, only the person in front of me was left in the warehouse.
I smiled and said, "Since you want to talk, I won't lay a hand on you. But you should think carefully before you do. After I ask you, I'll ask another person later. If there are any discrepancies between what you two say, I'll still dissect you. Do you understand?"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm..." The guy's head nodded like a rattle.
I ripped the tape off his mouth, and the guy yelled in pain.
I stared at him and asked, "Tell me first, what's your name?"
This guy looks very young, only in his early twenties. I wonder if I can get any useful information out of him.
The guy was looking at me now, his emotions had calmed down, but the fear in his eyes was still there.
“My name is Wang Yubo,” he said.
Wang Yubo? That's a pretty good name.
I pulled up a chair and sat down, asking, "Wang Yubo, right? Okay, now you can tell me about the situation at Biyuan."
Wang Yubo looked at me and said, "Before I finish speaking, can you promise me that you won't kill me after I finish? I can be your prisoner."
I sneered, "You don't seem to have the right to negotiate with me. You want to be a prisoner? You want to freeload off me?"
Wang Yubo's face darkened.
I then threatened, "If you don't want to talk, that's fine too. I won't waste my breath on you. Let's continue the dissection, shall we?"
Wang Yubo's eyes widened anxiously, "No, no, no, I'll talk, I'll talk. I think you won't kill me after I finish speaking, that's why I'm making demands of you."
I said, "Whether I kill you or not depends on whether the information you give me is useful. If it is very useful, I might spare your life, but if it is completely useless, what use is there for me to keep you alive?"
I said this to give him a glimmer of hope, to lower his guard. Forcing him would only make him resentful.
Wang Yubo visibly relaxed and said, "Don't worry, what I said will definitely be very useful to you."
I said, "I'm listening, go ahead and tell me."
Wang Yubo looked up at me and said, "Actually, I'm not one of Li Shujiang's people."
"Hmm?" His words surprised me a bit. Not one of Li Shujiang's people? Could he be from Jiangbei? No, if he were from Jiangbei, he wouldn't have said that.
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Yubo explained, "Let me start from the beginning. The situation at Biyuan is a bit complicated."
Immediately, Wang Yubo began to recount the events at Biyuan.
It turns out that when the zombie outbreak first occurred, the situation in Biyuan was quite similar to that in Jiangbei. It was mainly composed of small groups, and they were basically scattered and living independently, without interfering with each other.
However, sometimes there are minor conflicts, and sometimes people even die.
At first, no one was used to living in this broken and cruel world, because people were dying every moment. Until a month later, after seeing too much, dying too much, and crying too much, they got used to it and gradually became numb.
At that moment, Li Shujiang appeared outside Biyuan with a large group of people. Because he had firearms, he directly entered Biyuan, gathered all the scattered teams in Biyuan, and made promises to them, thus bringing the entire Biyuan under Li Shujiang's control.
However, Li Shujiang did have some skill, and he did indeed keep his promise to ensure that everyone in Biyuan had enough to eat.
However, this period of good fortune was short-lived. After Li Shujiang subdued everyone in Biyuan, another group of people appeared outside the community. This group also possessed weapons and strength no less than Li Shujiang's. In addition, Biyuan was a large residential area, so by the time Li Shujiang discovered that this group had entered the community, it was too late to stop them.
In order to avoid the loss of weapons, lives and resources, both sides reached an agreement to live together in Biyuan without interfering with each other, and to unite against external threats.
I was genuinely surprised when I heard this; I never imagined that there were two different teams in Biyuan!
Wang Yubo just said he's not one of Li Shujiang's people, so does that mean he's from another team?
So I asked, "Are you from another team?"
Wang Yubo shook his head and said, "I am not one of Li Shujiang's people, nor am I one of Han Weijun's people. Oh, Han Weijun is the team I was just talking about."
"As for me, I belong to the third team."
