"Han Lie, I hope we can let go of all the previous grudges and write off what happened before, okay? Save us out. You have seen our current situation. We have no idea what has happened. Many people have changed. Seeing the prison guards start biting people and even eating people, the scene was disgusting. We had no choice but to kill the prison guards, but the bitten prison guards also stood up and started biting people. They killed each other. Several of us had no choice but to beat those who were bitten to death. The world has changed. I believe you have seen it too. The world has changed. We will no longer care about what happened before, okay? Save us out." The man changed his previous deep expression, and there was a helpless look in his eyes.
Shangguan Wan squinted at him, then looked away, waiting for his next words.
"Why do you think I will save you?" Han Lie's right index finger tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel. This showed that Han Lie was thinking about something.
"I know you still hate me. I killed your soldier, but you also saw that I have been in here for five years. I was supposed to be executed by firing squad, but I didn't expect that to happen. I didn't die, so let's write it off." The man had always wanted Han Lie to let go of the knot about food for his comrades, just to save them.
Shangguan Wan suddenly understood the reason for Han Lie's previous hesitation and his difficulties.
"The world has changed, but what does it have to do with me not saving you?" Han Lie said sarcastically
"It doesn't matter, but since you are alive, it means that there are still people alive, and we want to live too."
Han Lie touched the corner of his lips with his right hand and looked at the people opposite him. "You can live if you want, but you must listen to me. You must know that I can save you, but I can also make you live a life worse than death."
"Really, you really want to save us." The man was so excited when he heard that Han Lie wanted to save them that he didn't care about what Han Lie said next. He was only thinking about leaving here.
"But how can you guarantee that you won't commit crimes again? Do you know that once you follow us back, there will be tens of thousands of people in the base. How can you guarantee that you won't harm them?" Han Lie tried to induce them to make the promise themselves.
"How come there are so many people alive? How did you survive? Does that mean our family members might be in there too?" the man asked in disbelief.
"Of course, we have developed a method for growing plants and even providing electricity," Han Lie said calmly, hoping they would take the bait.
As Han Lie had expected, the people inside, upon hearing that the base had already been planted, thought it meant that so many people survived because they had food, otherwise how could tens of thousands of people survive? And there was also electricity—what a luxurious life that was, they had never even considered it.
They could never forget the life-and-death struggle for a single bite of food, the way they killed and then dismembered a living person just to stay alive, and the smell of human flesh. Now, seeing their hands covered in that bright red flesh, or even someone's arm, they had all killed before, but this was truly their first time eating human flesh, and they would never forget the taste. There was no deep hatred in their minds now, just being able to get out alive was a blessing, because Sakuya didn't know who would die next. They were so scared that they couldn't sleep at night, and even the moment they closed their eyes, they might be stabbed to death. Sometimes they couldn't sleep, and the constant exhaustion was driving them crazy.
Now that they finally heard a way to survive, they would obey, even if it meant sacrificing an arm. As long as they could leave this place, it would be fine.
"Please rescue us. We'll do whatever it takes. We can check each other, and if anyone shows signs of disloyalty, we'll just kill him. How about that?"
"Yes, please. Just save us." Everyone inside wailed and begged Han Lie.
