The man standing on the high place let out a rough laugh, then walked up to the other people, holding an iron rod more than a meter long in his hand, which he tapped on his palm from time to time, while the people around him let out howls and screams.
"Heh, you think you're so tough? You didn't give me any face at the factory today, but you still ended up in my hands."
A long scar was etched on the man's face, stretching from near his left temple to the right side of his chin, slicing his face in two diagonally.
As he grinned menacingly, the scars on his face began to distort, making his entire face look particularly terrifying, especially under the light of the headlamp, which made his face appear even more distorted.
The people who were dragged to the ground appeared to be a young couple. The woman lay on the ground desperately screaming for help, but the people around her were laughing wildly as they surrounded her.
The man was dragged away, and several other people began to torture him by punching and kicking him. He could only desperately cover his head and protect his stomach with his elbows.
"Bang bang bang"
A series of punches and kicks startled Lu Yuan and the others in the distance. None of them made a sound; they could only hold their breath as much as possible, hiding behind a pile of rubble by the roadside, and watching helplessly as this scene unfolded.
Finally, after a few minutes, the man lying on the ground was beaten to the point of near death, and the scarred man who was in charge raised the stick in his hand and shouted.
"Alright, stop killing them. Just teach them a lesson. Strip them naked."
Upon hearing this, a group of men nearby immediately brandished their sticks and continued to shout excitedly. The woman cried out for help, but there was nothing she could do. Her clothes were stripped off piece by piece, and her body was covered with countless black handprints. She could only be molested by these beasts like an animal.
Then the factory area fell silent, with only the voice of the scarred man audible.
"Damn it, are none of these bastards in here planning to go out? Fine, once the temperature rises, I'll see how long they can hold out! Keep them all on guard."
Xiao Shan squatted on the ground some distance away, desperately covering her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
Standing behind them, Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother were already in tears. Grandma, whose eyesight was not good, could only hear the cries for help in the distance under the chaotic light, but she was helpless. The women were all in tears.
"We can't save them, we can only wait here and see when they leave, otherwise we won't be able to get through."
Lu Yuan looked around at everyone in a low voice and noticed that their expressions were not particularly good, especially after seeing such a violent scene. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush in.
But now they are a unified group, and any one of them could become prey for those beasts due to their impulsiveness.
Time passed second by second, and the temperature in the vicinity was indeed rising steadily. Lu Yuan raised his hand and glanced at the temperature displayed on his watch, which had soared to about forty degrees Celsius. Everyone was drenched in sweat, and their heads were shiny with oil.
"Wait a bit longer, don't rush over. They've blocked the road, probably trying to stop people going back from here. But they definitely won't stay here all night, otherwise they won't be able to work the next day!"
They could only crouch behind piles of rocks to hide themselves. Fortunately, the power outage was not only an obstacle on their path, but also a form of protection for them. Hidden in the darkness, they could not be found at all unless someone shone a flashlight on them.
The young couple, who had been robbed of everything, supported each other as they walked away into the distance. Several people beside them continued to make all sorts of ghostly noises. The two trembled with fear with every step they took, especially the woman, who was in tears and could barely walk steadily. However, she still resolutely supported the man beside her.
The two walked naked on the main road. When they passed the pile of rubble where Lu Yuan and the others were hiding, they couldn't help but glance at it. Lu Yuan's heart started racing.
Although these two people are victims, in the entire industrial area, who knows whether the other party is good or bad? If they feel that they have just been insulted, and Lu Yuan and the others are just watching from a distance without coming to help, will they expose the hiding place of everyone?
"Thump thump thump".
Lu Yuan could almost hear everyone's rapid heartbeats, just like his. Fortunately, it was too dark, and the woman seemed to be only focused on crying. She glanced into the distance, seemingly just to see if anyone was chasing after them.
Finally, the two passed the pile of rubble, and Lu Yuan, like everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, the people on the road were squatting down in front of them, still guarding the road.
Suddenly, a bright light shone from afar. Lu Yuan was so startled that he quickly crouched down to avoid being shone by the car headlights. Fortunately, everyone was already covered in gray-black dust, which shielded them from the bright light.
Lu Yuan glanced at the passing car and then looked in the direction it had come from.
"It looks like it came from that factory area we just saw!"
Upon seeing a car approaching, the people in front immediately moved a large number of stones from the roadside, blocking the entire road.
The car headlights flashed brightly forward, but the crowd still didn't let up, and some people even blocked the way for the car to back up.
