When the last man got off Yu Bai's body, she was already breathing more in than out.
Zhou Anan nestled in Zhao Jia's arms, looking down at Yu Bai condescendingly.
Looking at Yu Bai's bruised and filthy appearance, her beautiful face was filled with twisted pleasure.
"Hahaha, do you think she looks like a dog?"
When Yu Bai heard this sharp sound, his brain felt like it was pricked by a needle, and his scattered consciousness instantly gathered.
She used up her last bit of strength and slowly opened her swollen eyelids.
Through her blurred vision, she saw Zhou Anan's smug face and Zhao Jia's eyes full of indifference.
A strong hatred gushed out from the bottom of her heart.
"You...will die a miserable death...and go to hell..."
Instead of getting angry, Zhou Anan smiled even more proudly.
"Go to hell? Yu Bai, I'm afraid your wish can only be fulfilled in your next life. As for this life..."
She deliberately prolonged the ending of her tone, her eyes full of malice.
"All your family members are dead, except your idiot brother!"
"But he's not much better. A fool turned crazy. He's both stupid and crazy. Hahaha."
Zhou Anan's words and sharp laughter were like a sharp knife, piercing Yu Bai's heart in an instant.
The scene of the mother being forced to drink pesticide,
The scene of the eldest brother's disabled body lying in a pool of blood,
The second brother jumped off the building in despair.
The tragic car accident of my third brother,
The resentment of the fourth brother's unjust death in prison,
The pitiful look of my little brother being bullied to the point of madness...
Tragic scenes flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope, tearing at her nerves and pushing her into an endless abyss.
Yu Bai wanted to scream and struggle, but he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
My consciousness gradually blurred and everything in front of me became distorted.
Zhao Jia frowned in disgust and hugged Zhou Anan tightly.
"Alright, An An, stop talking to her. It's disgusting. Let's go."
Zhou Anan glanced at the dying Yu Bai with contempt, turned around and left the factory as if throwing away a piece of garbage.
The cold ground of the factory was like a huge piece of ice, taking away the last bit of warmth from Yu Bai.
Darkness surged in like a tide, swallowing her up...
“Hu…Hu…”
Yu Bai suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.
Cold sweat soaked her pajamas, sticking to her body and making her feel uncomfortable all over.
It was pitch black outside the window, with only the faint starlight shining through the gaps in the curtains, casting a few faint rays of light.
This is already the third day.
For three days, she couldn't believe that she was really reborn.
Rather than the joy of rebirth, there is more lingering fear and anxiety.
The bloody scenes of her previous life haunted her day and night like nightmares.
"I won't let that happen again...never!"
Yu Bai muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly, but more determined.
She tightly grasped the peace locket hanging around her neck, and the cool touch made her calm down a little.
The white jade peace locket has a soft texture and emits a faint fluorescence in the dark.
This is the only relic left to her by her father who passed away young, and it is also the thing she has always cherished most.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came over Yu Bai. He felt his eyes go dark and his body seemed to be sucked in by an invisible force.
"ah--!"
She screamed and subconsciously tried to grab something, but she couldn't grab anything.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in an unfamiliar courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, but it is very clean.
There is an osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard, and under the tree there is a clear spring.
There are two wooden doors on the courtyard wall. The doors are not in the front or back, but one faces east and the other faces west, with a red lantern hanging on each side.
On the red lantern, the word "Pawnshop" was written in huge letters.
pawnshop?
Yu Bai felt confused.
Could it be...
She looked down at the peace locket in her hand and found that it still emitted a faint fluorescent light, but it was a little brighter than before.
Yu Bai's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some connection between them.
At this moment, the situation in the courtyard suddenly changed.
Just now it was sunny at noon, but in the blink of an eye it turned into dusk.
The wooden door facing east creaked open automatically, and the originally dim red lantern on the door suddenly lit up.
This sudden change startled Yu Bai so much that he took two steps back.
She was stunned for a second, then turned back to the small room behind her and hid behind the counter.
Through the gap in the cabinet door, Yu Bai saw two rows of lanterns lighting up out of thin air outside the east gate, extending all the way to the distance, as if lining up to welcome someone.
This strange scene made her shudder, and all kinds of horror scenes emerged involuntarily in her mind.
Just then, a tall figure appeared outside the east gate.
He was a ragged, unkempt man.
Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, he had a burly figure and his exposed arms were muscular and full of strength. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
At this moment, he looked around, obviously confused by the scene that suddenly appeared before him.
Yu Bai held his breath and dared not move.
Who is this man?
Where are you from?
Why is it here too?
The man, Han Yi, was also in a mess at this moment.
Half a month ago, he was the second-in-command of the first base in the apocalypse, and he was in great glory.
His father-in-law, the leader of the base, has always held him in high regard.
"A large underground grain depot was discovered in City S, which is enough to feed the people in the base for two years. But I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you."
Han Yi believed his father-in-law's words. He set out with his elite team, but fell into a deadly trap.
There was no food in the underground granary, only hundreds of zombies.
As soon as he and his teammates stepped into the granary, zombies roared out from the underground granary and rushed towards them like a wave.
The battle was brutal.
His teammates fell one by one, and his wife was torn to pieces by zombies in order to protect him...
After trying his best to escape, Han Yi heard a ridiculous piece of news.
His father-in-law found his son who had been missing for many years, and the son also brought back enough food to feed the base for two years.
son?
That illegitimate child?
In just a moment, Han Yi understood his father-in-law's good intentions.
In this elaborate scam, he and his wife were both pawns, victims of his father-in-law's attempt to pave the way for the illegitimate child.
The flame of hatred burned in his heart, and he wished he could go back immediately to avenge his dead wife and teammates.
However, before he could move, his pursuers arrived first.
It turned out that his father-in-law and illegitimate son knew that he was not dead, so they came to see him off.
Faced with such a large number of people, he and his teammates were forced to hide from place to place, which led to their current situation where they were at the end of their rope and had no other options.
Just when he was in despair, this courtyard suddenly appeared before his eyes. The red lantern on the gate clearly had two words written on it: Pawnshop.
