The other passengers on the bus panicked when they saw that the driver had no intention of stopping.
A sense of unease spread through the car, and everyone's faces showed anxiety and panic as they looked out the windows.
The car drove into a desolate mountain forest and stopped amidst everyone's unease.
When everyone saw that they were surrounded by wilderness and forest, they were all confused and at a loss.
However, at that moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods. These people had headbands tied around their heads, their faces smeared with soot, and they were wearing gray-black combat uniforms.
Each person held a rifle and circled around the vehicle, aiming.
"Bang bang bang—" Suddenly, someone fired several shots into the sky, startling all the students in the car who screamed and covered their heads.
"Ahhh—"
"Wh...what? Is that a gun...?"
"What's going on???"
At this moment, the driver stood up, suddenly holding a pistol in his hand. He turned around, pointed it at the PE teacher, and said to everyone, "Don't move! Behave yourselves! If you don't want to die, behave yourselves!"
When they saw people with guns surrounding them, everyone in the car was terrified and huddled together in a group.
"Waaaaah—" Some of the girls were so scared that they started crying.
Yuan Mengge glanced at the people under the car and took a look at their equipment and attire.
Good heavens, it seems we've been led to a poisonous bird's nest.
These people all exuded a murderous aura, had cold eyes, and carried rifles and pistols.
"Don't cry—behave yourselves, we don't kill honest people." The driver said coldly, then opened the door and continued, "Hands up, get off the bus one by one. Anyone who tries to run away will die!"
"Waaaaah—"
All the students were so frightened that their bodies tensed up and their faces showed terror.
No one responded to the driver's words the first time; no one wanted to get off the bus.
Seeing that no one got off the bus, the driver frowned and said, "I'll count to three. If no one gets off by then, I'm going to shoot. One—"
The students in the car only started to get scared when they heard him start counting.
The PE teacher was also startled and hurriedly said, "Get...get off...students, get off the bus first...get off the bus first..."
He was genuinely afraid that these armed men would shoot the students.
As he spoke, he raised his hands and stepped down first.
Once down there, facing several gun barrels, the physical education teacher's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat.
After he got off, the man below who was pointing a gun at him pointed the muzzle of his gun at the side of the car and said, "Move to the back, stand close to the side of the car with your arms crossed and don't move!"
After the PE teacher got off the bus, the other students followed suit.
Yuan Mengge and Lin Manyue got out of the car together. She looked calm, while the two people next to her held tightly to her sleeves.
"Hurry up!" One of the men under the car, holding a pistol, directed the students getting off the car to stand to one side: "Men, stand over here; women, stand over here."
The man separated the boys and girls into two groups.
It seems he is the leader of this group.
Yuan Mengge put her hands behind her head and walked to the other side of the girls' line as the man had asked her to.
Lin Manyue and Wang Hong were both deathly pale, following her around in a state of utter confusion.
"Don't move! What are those guys still doing in the car? Get out now!" Most people had gotten out, but there were still two or three hiding in the car and refusing to get out.
The driver in the car, with a hint of murderous intent, fired directly at the three students.
"Bang bang bang—"
"Ahhh—we're getting off! We're getting off!"
The three people in the car screamed in fright. The bullets didn't hit them, but only the seats around them.
But this scared the three of them so much that they almost peed their pants and scrambled off the car.
The leader below watched them tumble off the cart and sneered, "I bet you'll only behave if you eat a couple of peanuts!"
As he spoke, he raised his gun and pointed it at them.
"No, no, no... Don't shoot! Waaah—we'll behave! Don't shoot..." The student pointed at by the leader immediately covered his head and squatted on the ground, shouting in panic.
The driver got out of the car and said to Yuan Mengge and about twenty other girls, "Girls, all of you should come with me obediently."
Yuan Mengge and the others could only follow him into the woods on one side, with several terrorists holding guns beside them.
"Where...where are you taking us...Waaah...I want to go home..." a girl in the group asked, mustering her courage.
The driver chuckled coldly and said meaningfully, "Once things are done... you'll naturally be allowed to go home..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge immediately understood the true meaning behind the words.
If this 'thing' is done, they'll probably all die.
Once everyone is dead, their souls will go home on their own.
If they fall into the hands of these people, they will probably all end up being sold off.
These people aren't like human traffickers who would simply sell them to some old bachelors in the village to be their wives.
They are likely to be sent to places where sex is traded, where their young bodies are used to make money.
It should last at least another ten years or more...
These people exuded a palpable killing intent, suggesting they frequently teetered on the brink of life and death.
They all had blood on their hands.
Yuan Mengge, along with the others, was forced by these people to walk into the mountains.
Moreover, the further they went, the more desolate it became, and the more difficult the ground became to traverse.
Everyone felt lost and uncertain, unsure of how long they would have to walk or where they would end up.
Some girls with lower emotional resilience started to cry quietly.
Of everyone present, only Yuan Mengge walked with a calm expression and steady steps.
This walk took several hours.
Everyone had been walking for several hours that morning and was exhausted.
As they walked like this again in the afternoon, the girls' steps quickly became unsteady, and they stumbled and fell from time to time.
They wanted to rest, but were being herded behind at gunpoint, and dared not speak.
Yuan Mengge saw that several girls had injured their feet, but they were gritting their teeth and enduring it, their faces so pale that they looked like they were about to faint.
She suddenly stopped, looked at the driver ahead, and said, "Let's take a break. We've been driving for three hours straight."
The driver turned to look at her, seemingly recalling her saying she needed to use the restroom earlier. He glanced at her up and down and said, "You're quite good at holding it in. Don't you want to go to the restroom now?"
Yuan Mengge shrugged and said, "I want to go, will you let me go?"
The driver glanced at everyone and said, "I'll give you one chance to go to the toilet. If you dare to run, you won't escape from these mountains. If we catch you, we'll break your legs!"
