Lu Yuan was quickly taken away by Fifth Brother's men. Although he wanted to resist, he immediately gave up the idea of resisting when he saw that Fifth Brother had a pistol bulging at his waist.
After all, this person's name is quite well-known in the entire base. Besides Sun Laosan, there is also an unknown Lao Si who has not appeared. The most famous one is Lao Wu.
Fifth Brother's real name is Zheng Yi. Before the apocalypse, he was a real estate developer with hundreds of people under his command. He was a powerful figure in a county in Jincheng, monopolizing the market everywhere and doing all sorts of shady things.
Although his hundreds of men were wiped out in a crackdown, Zheng Yi had a keen sense of smell. He had already changed his identity when the crackdown was about to begin. He even donated money to Project Hope and transformed himself into a philanthropist, thus escaping disaster.
However, after the apocalypse arrived, his identity as a philanthropist could no longer be relied upon. So, after Sun Laosan was released from prison, he and his brothers gathered together again and entered the survivor base in Shanxi Province.
With the addition of these people, Sun Laosan's strength increased again, and he became very successful in the second survivor base in Jin Province, even surpassing the biggest leader in the base at that time.
Later, for some reason, Sun Laosan led a group of people away from the base, and it was precisely because of their departure that the base escaped the greatest disaster.
Soon, Lu Yuan was taken to a small dark room and locked up. No one interrogated him or did anything else. He was simply locked up in the dark room, where he could even hear his own heartbeat.
Seeing the dark room, Lu Yuan was filled with rage. He never expected that such a simple matter would become so complicated. The plane hadn't even been found yet, and he was already trapped here by one thing after another. He still had no idea what was going on with his family.
"No! We have to get out of here as soon as possible, or we'll die here sooner or later!"
After making up his mind, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the room and began to plan. They certainly wouldn't keep him locked up here forever; someone would definitely hand him over eventually. As for what that would be, Lu Yuan wasn't quite sure yet.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan heard the rattling sound of chains coming from outside. He had heard this sound quite often before.
In the past few days, people have been being taken out of the prison, and soon after they are taken away, they are subjected to severe torture. The sounds of whips being lashed and people screaming are constant, keeping Lu Yuan on edge.
With a bang, the door to the solitary confinement cell was opened, and the blinding beam of a flashlight shone in. Lu Yuan shielded his eyes from the light, and immediately someone stepped forward and dragged him out.
Because the other party's flashlight was shining directly into Lu Yuan's eyes, he couldn't see their face clearly at all. It wasn't until his hands and feet were tied to a wooden frame that Lu Yuan realized he was in a torture chamber.
Sure enough, in a dark little house, a bright light shone from above, and the figures opposite him looked very blurry. One of the men was the same man who had come to find him.
Zheng Yi lit a cigarette, a hint of joy on his face, and patted a small cigarette on the iron table.
"Lu Yuan, right? Hehe, it seems I really found the right person. I didn't expect you to actually survive three days of confinement. How was it? How did it feel?"
Seeing the other party's smug look, Lu Yuan felt a surge of irritation.
"What do you want from me? I don't think I've done anything wrong. If you're planning to avenge Zhou Tian, then settle your scores and do whatever you want!"
A hint of joy appeared on Zheng Yi's face, but he said with some disgust, "Hmph, what is Zhou Tian? What right does he have to ask me to avenge him? You're overthinking it. I'm arresting you, don't you know why?"
Upon hearing these words from the locals, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the matter of the grain had been exposed? Impossible! Liu Cheng had hidden everything well and promised not to reveal his secrets. Could it be that the other party had lied to him?
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt increasingly distressed. He never expected that the person he had finally found to entrust his innermost thoughts to would turn out to be like this. Lu Yuan found it hard to accept this reality.
"Tell me, where is the thing? Tell us everything in the base, and maybe I'll let you go!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand! What base or whatever! What does this have to do with me? Have you arrested the wrong person?!"
Long Ge, standing to the side, revealed a fierce look on his face. He drew a leather whip from his waist and said menacingly, "Fifth Brother, stop wasting words with him. Give him a beating first. This kid looks like he's had a good life and has never suffered like this. Let him taste the whip. Then he'll tell you whatever you want to ask!"
Zhou Tian immediately nodded, stood up, stubbed out his cigarette, walked up to Lu Yuan, and gave a soft, cold laugh: "Kid, it seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"
Lu Yuan felt a surge of tension when he looked at the leather whip in the hand of the burly man next to him. Although his reaction speed was far superior to others, his hands and feet were now chained to the wooden stake, making it impossible for him to move. Beating him would be pointless. He could either tell the truth, but his biggest evidence was the matter of the dimensional space, which he could not possibly tell them. Lu Yuan's thoughts raced, and soon an idea came to mind.
