Here, following Xiao Shitou's instructions, Song Mian navigated three turns in one go, all of which led to the left.
In the dim environment, only the flashlight of Song Mian's mobile phone emitted some light, which was barely enough.
They couldn't see how far the road ahead was; all they could see was pitch black darkness.
Tao Tao leaned against Song Mian's back, choking back tears as she asked, "Sister Song Mian, how much longer until we can get out?"
"It should be soon. Don't worry, we'll be rescued once we get out of here safely." Song Mian comforted the children, but her mind was in turmoil.
She was afraid that her anxiety would shake the children's resolve, so even though her heart was in complete turmoil, she still tried her best to remain calm.
At a critical moment like this, she cannot back down under any circumstances.
Just as Song Mian mustered up her courage to continue walking forward, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind her, and then Zhou He, who was standing at the very end of the line, was lifted up.
"Sister Song Mian!"
Protecting the remaining four children, Song Mian quickly retreated. She watched as a man with a ferocious and terrifying expression emerged menacingly from the darkness.
Wang Qin held Zhou He in one hand and a gun in the other, pressing the muzzle directly against Zhou He's neck.
"Don't hurt the child!" Song Mian hurriedly tried to stop Wang Qin.
Wang Qin, looking impatient, sneered at Song Mian, "You bitch, are you trying to teach me how to do things? Let me tell you, I've been putting up with you for far too long. I want to know, who gave you the confidence to dare challenge me?"
"I was wrong! I'm sorry. I shouldn't have challenged you. I know I was wrong. I'm willing to exchange myself for the child in your hands." Under these circumstances, Song Mian dared not confront Wang Qin head-on and could only do her best to protect the children's safety first.
Wang Qin chuckled maliciously, gestured to the children beside Song Mian, and then said with a half-smile, "I won't waste any more words with you. I'm giving you a chance to live."
Looking at Wang Qin's ferocious expression, Song Mian could easily guess that Wang Qin was definitely not planning anything good.
But she was no match for Wang Qin's pistol.
"What do you want me to do?" Song Mian knew very well that the request Wang Qin made was definitely not easy to fulfill.
Sure enough, Wang Qin chuckled and then said directly to Song Mian, "Actually, what I want you to do is very simple: I want you to kill one of the children next to you."
Song Mian couldn't believe what she was hearing for a moment: "What did you say?"
Wang Qin's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted at Song Mian, "I said I'm going to make you trade your life for yours, I'm going to make you kill a child with your own hands! You can choose whoever you want to kill, as long as you can do it, I'll let you and the other children go, I'll just take you back, and I won't do anything to hurt you again."
Seeing that Wang Qin kept sneering at her while he was speaking, Song Mian knew very well that Wang Qin was lying.
This man never intended for them to leave alive.
Knowing full well that what the man had just said was just a prank, Song Mian's forehead veins throbbed wildly.
She didn't want to hurt any of the children!
Just as Song Mian was struggling with how to get through this difficult time, Tao Tao suddenly jumped off her back, patted her chest, and said, "Sister Song Mian, kill me and save the other brothers and sisters!"
Song Mian looked at the little girl in the floral dress in disbelief: "Tao Tao, don't talk nonsense here!"
“I’m telling the truth! Tao Tao really wants to go back to see her mom and dad, but now Tao Tao and her sister have been captured, so Tao Tao definitely won’t be able to go back to see her mom and dad. So rather than living here without any purpose or hope, I’d rather just die.”
“Me too. If we’re destined never to see our parents again, I’d rather just die.” At this moment, Zhou He also spoke up, even taking the initiative to hold the gun in Wang Qin’s hand and completely blocking the muzzle against his own neck.
"Me too, I don't want to go back either, I'd rather die here."
"Waaaah, if you're all going to die, then I'm going to die here too."
"Are you bunch of little beasts deliberately trying to oppose me?!" Wang Qin roared furiously, his face contorted with rage. "Fine, fine, since you all want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing Wang Qin raise his pistol and point it at Tao Tao, Song Mian's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively spread her arms to protect Tao Tao.
bump--!
A gunshot rang out, and a deep despair welled up in Song Mian's heart.
To Song Mian's surprise, she didn't feel any pain at all.
Instead, Wang Qin let out a desperate scream.
Looking up at Wang Qin, Song Mian saw him fall into a pool of blood.
His heart was pierced by a bullet, and after falling to the ground, he still tried to pick up the pistol from the ground.
Unfortunately, before Wang Qin could even touch the pistol, Song Mian seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and kicked the pistol aside.
Immediately afterward, three human traffickers rushed over from not far away.
Song Mian's heart tightened as she saw a group of little devils rushing towards the three human traffickers from behind.
The three human traffickers suddenly saw a ghost and were all terrified. They scrambled out of the way, afraid that they might be possessed by the ghost!
"Boss Song!" At this moment, Qi Yefeng's voice came from behind Song Mian.
Song Mian turned her head to look behind her, and the first thing she saw was not Qi Yefeng, but fully armed special police officers!
"Don't move, or we'll kill you all on the spot!"
The human traffickers, already terrified, were startled when they saw the special police swarming in and scattered in panic.
Qi Yefeng arrived after the special police. When he saw Song Mian, he noticed the numerous wounds on her body: "I'm sorry, it took us a little longer to pinpoint your location."
"You've come at the right time... But how did you get here from deep in the cave?" When Song Mian saw that there were seven or eight special police officers present, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, her legs immediately lost strength, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
"This time, it's all thanks to Hong Sheng and the others. As soon as they arrived at Longding Mountain, they realized that this was where they lived before they died, so they led us here as quickly as possible!" Lin Jiaojiao flew over quickly and then buried her face in Song Mian's arms, sobbing.
"Waaaaah, little boss, I thought something terrible had happened to you! You scared me to death!" Lin Jiaojiao said, bursting into tears.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just don't know how things are going with Little Stone." Song Mian's eyes showed worry as she spoke.
“Sister Song, I know where Little Stone is.” Hong Sheng and the other children’s eyes turned red, and they choked up as they said, “Not only Little Stone, but also my body and everyone else’s bodies are together. I remember what happened when we were alive.”
