Chapter 173 Almost Drowned
"I'll hurt you?" Qin Muxue seemed to have heard the funniest joke. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty if I kill you. You're doing fine. You've lost your legs, and it looks like your brain isn't normal. This is probably the retribution for doing so many unscrupulous things."
Xia Bing seemed to understand what she said and began to cry. Qin Muxue smelled a bad odor.
She took a few steps back and said, "Lei Yangzhou, I underestimated you at first. I thought you were heartless, but I didn't expect you would keep Xia Bing by your side to take care of her. You really are loyal and righteous now!" She deliberately emphasized the words "loyal and righteous". Now that she saw that the two of them were not living well, she felt relieved.
Lei Yangzhou squatted down in embarrassment, "Don't cry, don't cry!" He was very annoyed. He should have been a high-end scientific and technological talent, but was dragged down to this point by Xia Bing, and now he had to keep her, a burden, by his side.
Xia Bing bit her lip, stopped crying, and looked at Lei Yangzhou aggrievedly, "Yangzhou, didn't you say you would protect me forever?"
Even if Xia Bing's mind is not normal now, he doesn't want to take care of her anymore. This woman is simply a lunatic.
"If you betray me, I will tell you everything about you..." Lei Yangzhou quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't say anything more! Let's go!" After saying that, he squatted down, suppressed his nausea and carried her on his back.
After walking a few steps, Lei Yangzhou stopped again and said, "If you have a chance to see Manman, please say hello to her for me."
"I'm really sorry, I won't say hello to someone who has hurt her before."
"Okay, thank you anyway." Lei Yangzhou seemed to have accepted his fate and gradually moved away from her sight.
However, the disgusting feeling in Qin Muxue's heart could not be dispelled for a long time. Thinking that these two people were not dead and were still suffering here, she felt a sense of relief.
An An sat on the bed, hugging her teddy bear toy. Qin Muxue saw that she fell asleep and covered her with a quilt. It was pitiful for a little girl to be here. Was it right or wrong to let her come here in the first place?
An An was still shouting: "Dad, don't leave me..."
Qin Muxue held her little hand and said, "Sister will be by your side."
When An An woke up, she found Qin Muxue napping beside her. Today she saw Qin Muxue go to find Gu Zhiyu, but the person An An hated the most in the entire base was Gu Zhiyu.
As soon as Qin Muxue woke up, she saw An An staring at her eagerly, "What's wrong, An An, are you unhappy?"
"Sister, why did you go to find Gu Zhiyu? I hate him, he is a bad guy!"
Qin Muxue then realized that the Gu Zhiyu she was talking about was Doctor Gu.
"Yeah, I heard that too. He's a bad guy."
"Then why did you go looking for him?"
"I want to trick that bad guy." Qin Muxue said jokingly, and then sighed, "Brother Shi Yan is sick and needs a surgeon to perform surgery on him. Gu Zhiyu should be able to do the surgery. I just want him to help me do the surgery."
An An lowered her head in disappointment, "So, sister, you came here because of Brother Shi Yan. I thought you came here to find me."
"If you are unhappy staying here, I can take you away from here and we can go together."
An An shook her head. "I want to stay here. I'm used to the life here. For me, it doesn't matter where I go without my dad."
"Sister, Gu Zhiyu needs 50,000 points to perform surgery. Do you have that many points?"
"I don't have any points, but I will definitely make him ask to help me."
"I don't believe it. That man values money more than anything else. How could he compromise just by listening to you? Besides, I've threatened to kill him before, but he would never give in even if he died." An An felt a little aggrieved when she thought of the scene at that time.
Although she knew that even after the operation, her father would not live long, and the pain of nuclear pollution was not something that ordinary people could endure, she was reluctant to let her loved one go.
"Maybe you're using the wrong method. I have a better idea."
An An asked curiously, "What method?"
"Don't you want to teach him a lesson?"
An An's eyes turned and a sly smile appeared on her face, "I listen to my sister."
Qin Muxue sneaked into the apartment where Gu Zhiyu lived. Perhaps because he had a lot of points, or perhaps because he possessed superb medical skills, the apartment arranged for him by the base was very large.
At night, Gu Zhiyu was about to lie down on the bed to sleep with an eye mask on, but he seemed to hear a strange knock on the door. When he opened the door, there was no one outside.
After doing this several times, he yelled angrily, "Who is playing tricks out there?"
While he was opening the door, Qin Muxue and An An had already sneaked into his room without him knowing.
Gu Zhiyu sat by the bed and waited for a while. When he found that there was no sound outside, he lay down again, still muttering, "Disturbing my sweet dreams."
After turning over, he fell asleep.
After a while, Gu Zhiyu felt his whole body start to get cold, as if he was in an ice storage. He thought he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes, he found that his whole body was soaked in cold water, with nothing on except a pair of shorts. "This must be a dream?" He thought so and closed his eyes again, but when he opened them again, the water had reached his shoulders.
Damn, it turns out this isn’t an illusion, it’s all real.
His entire body was soaked in the cold water and he was shivering all over, "Why am I in this place?"
At this moment, a little girl's cold laughter came from above his head, which seemed a little scary in this empty room.
"I am a staunch materialist. Stop being sneaky and play tricks on me. Come out right now!"
The girl's laughter seemed like an illusion and never appeared again. The only sound in his ears was the sound of dripping water.
This feeling was the most horrifying. His limbs were almost numb from the cold, so he wanted to use his special powers. However, apart from performing surgery, it seemed that his special powers had no other use.
"What on earth do you want to do by locking me up here?"
There was no response either, only the sound of flowing water beside me echoing in my ears.
What’s even more terrifying is that the water level is getting higher and higher, and will soon submerge his neck. At this moment, an unknown fear fills his brain.
His whole body was tied up with ropes. He kept hitting the glass with his other two hands. Seeing that he couldn't break it, he tried to untie the ropes, but he didn't know what knot the ropes were tied with, and he couldn't untie them no matter how hard he tried.
At this moment, Gu Zhiyu really felt terrified. It was pitch black all around, with only a dim light next to the water level.
The water level has now reached his chin and will soon submerge his mouth and nose. He can imagine how it will feel to suffocate at that time.
"Please, I'm about to drown. What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me?"
There was still no response, but I seemed to hear someone breathing.
Is there anyone? Gu Zhiyu immediately became excited, but at this time the water level had already submerged his mouth. Even if he opened his mouth, only a large amount of ice water poured into his mouth.
Soon after, the water level went above his nose. If it weren't for his special abilities, he would have been frozen to death.
At this time, Gu Zhiyu began to struggle, and a fear of impending death swept through his body.
There are still so many points that have not been redeemed? His first reaction was this: it is very likely that he will be ruined here today, and all the points he earned were in vain.
The feeling of suffocation began to worsen, and suddenly a hand pulled him up.
He was gasping for breath and only then could he see clearly the person who came. It was the mysterious woman who had appeared in the daytime.
She stared at him with a playful smile and asked, "Doctor Gu, do you think life is more important, or points?"
"So it's you, it's you who did this!" Gu Zhiyu trembled as he looked at the woman in front of him, "You are so vicious, why would you want to do this to me?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Gu Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Kill me if you have the guts?"
Qin Muxue didn't indulge him. She directly pressed his head into the water and repeated the question, "Which do you think is more important, life or points?"
Gu Zhiyu was choked by the water and kept coughing. This woman was really scary. Just now when he was alone for a while, he really felt that he was going to die. He was just being stubborn just now. He thought that since this woman didn't kill him, she must have something to ask of him and would never kill him.
But he underestimated Qin Muxue's thoughts. She thought that it would be best if Gu Zhiyu could have the surgery, but if not, finding someone else would be the same.
So when she attacked, she showed no mercy. Gu Zhiyu lost consciousness and finally shouted loudly: "Life, life is more important."
Qin Muxue stopped trying, "In that case, I want to ask you for a favor."
Gu Zhiyu was breathing heavily. It was just as expected. This woman had some ulterior motive.
"I want you to perform an operation on someone. If it succeeds, I will give you a lot of things you want. If it fails... I won't kill you. But if you refuse now, I can let you drown here."
Qin Muxue's voice became lower and lower, and it sounded particularly eerie and terrifying in the empty room.
"I promise, I promise you." He felt the fear before death.
At one point just now, he really thought he was going to die.
Gu Zhiyu could only agree for now, thinking of finding a chance to refuse later. A man of insight is a wise man, so he admitted defeat now.
Once he gets out, he won't have to be afraid of this woman anymore.
