As the trigger was pulled, the anesthetic needle flew into another person's neck.
Under the influence of the anesthetic injection, he quickly fell into a deep sleep, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.
Ye Qi nudged the person beside her feet, and seeing that the other person didn't react at all and was sleeping soundly, she felt a little relieved.
But they quickly became alert and moved slowly. In a vegetable garden, after confirming the direction of the cellar, they waved to their companions, signaling them to come over.
The other three quickly moved over and approached Ye Qi.
Ye Qi and Ji Sinan worked together to forcibly pry open the cellar door.
To prevent someone from closing the cellar door from upstairs, it was decided to leave Jiang Yihuan upstairs.
Jiang Yihuan took out her phone to illuminate the area below. They carried sticks and descended the ladder, moving slowly and steadily.
After they all landed, Jiang Yihuan quickly turned off her phone's flashlight to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.
As soon as Ye Qi and the others went down, she immediately took out her phone to provide light.
They acted cautiously.
Following the tunnel, after walking for about several dozen steps, we reached the end, only to find an entire wall!
Ye Qi patted the wall, and a muffled sound came from it. If the wall was solid, it shouldn't have made that sound.
Wen Mingzhi sensed something was wrong and began to grope around.
Jisnan muttered to himself, "That's strange, why is there a wall here? Did those idiots lie to us?"
Jisnan unconsciously took a step forward. Because he was angry, he didn't notice that his stride was too wide and accidentally bumped into the wall. He immediately pulled his foot back in pain.
"It hurts so much!!!"
Jisnan jumped up and down, crying out in pain.
The moment he withdrew his foot, the wall rumbled loudly, and Ye Qi and Wen Mingzhi immediately looked up and took a step back warily.
At that moment, Jisnan ignored the pain and became alert to the wall in front of him.
The walls slowly opened, like a door.
They then noticed that it was a hidden door covered with wallpaper.
When the hidden door opened, a foul stench mixed with the smell of blood wafted out.
What came into view was a group of boys and girls bound and restrained in a corner. Their feet were locked in shackles, their bodies were tied with ropes, the air was filled with a stench, and flies and mosquitoes would occasionally swarm onto them.
These young men and women, who should be full of youthful vigor, are tormented in this confined space, their vitality and energy completely worn away, leaving their faces filled with despair and death.
There were even children tied up inside, their shackles causing blisters on their feet. They were tortured so badly that not a single piece of their flesh was intact, and their faces were filled with despair and despair.
They were locked in a small, cramped space, the floor stained with wet urine and blood.
When the door opened, Ye Qi clearly saw them flinch. When they saw Ye Qi and the others, a look of pity flashed in their eyes, as if they were the new victims.
When Ye Shuli looked up and saw his younger sister, he was so excited that he became incoherent and angry.
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging, his face fierce: "Damn human traffickers! They even kidnapped Qiqi!"
Ye Qi ignored his angry words and rushed straight to him to untie him.
Ye Shuli then noticed that there was no one behind Ye Qi and was puzzled.
"Qiqi, what are you doing here!?"
“Hey, you’re here to rescue you. Keep your voices down and don’t alert the people up there. Achi, Anan, untie the others.”
Upon hearing this, the dead eyes of those people suddenly lit up, and they were excited and wanted to shout, but remembering that Ye Qi had said not to alert the people above, they quickly shut their mouths.
Ji Sinan and Wen Mingzhi stepped forward to help untie the hostages.
But unfortunately, they didn't have the key to unlock the shackles.
Ye Qi broke Ye Shuli's shackles with his bare hands, freeing Ye Shuli.
Ye Shuli had always known that his younger sister was very strong, but he did not expect her to be this strong. It was the first time he had directly experienced his sister's strength, and he was slightly shocked.
Ye Qi quickly unlocked Ye Shuli's friend's shackles. When she saw him, she felt he looked familiar, until he exclaimed softly:
"Are you Ye Qi? We met on the island last time. I was working part-time as a supplies officer there! My name is Fang Qin!"
Ye Qi: "..."
No wonder she always thought this guy was just as dull as her brother; it turns out the two of them were good friends.
Ye Qi could only nod hastily to express her agreement before turning around and helping others to unlock their shackles.
After being freed from his shackles, Jisnan decided to walk ahead and pave the way for everyone.
Ji Sinan was the first to climb up, sticking his head out to look around. Seeing that Jiang Yihuan was still in the same place, he came out with peace of mind.
He gestured to the people behind him, and upon seeing his gesture, they immediately began to climb up as fast as they could, using both hands and feet.
For the sake of their freedom, they tacitly regarded Ye Qi and his group as their backbone and unconditionally obeyed their commands.
After Wen Mingzhi, who had brought up the rear, climbed up, they didn't bother to put the cellar lid back on. After a hasty discussion about their next move, they began to run as fast as they could, keeping their footsteps low and keeping an eye on the houses in the village.
As Ye Qi fled, she seemed to remember something, picked up a wooden branch from the field, and handed it to Ye Shuli.
Although Ye Shuli did not understand Ye Qi's meaning, he still chose to take it.
They ran out, and to leave they had to pass through the village.
Just as they were about to reach the village, the guards came out to relieve them. Ye Qi signaled them to stop, and they hid in the darkness.
The people changing shifts didn't notice anything amiss. Just as they were heading to the vegetable garden behind the village, someone rushed out, shouting, "Damn it! Those animals have escaped! Help!"
