Shi Lingyao left Captain Liang, who was breathing hard, and went out as if he was taking a walk at home. He also closed the door with his backhand, wrapped the chain around it, hung it on the door neatly, and locked it.
The man in the cell behind him shouted in a hoarse voice: "Help...come..."
She ignored it and walked towards the cell at the end of the dungeon that she had just discovered.
Probably the owner of the Li family was very confident that no one could break into this secluded dungeon, so she didn't even leave a guard behind, making her feel like she was in a deserted place.
The cell at the end is obviously different from other cells. The entire door panel is not like a wooden bar, but a solid iron door, with only a small sliding window only as big as a palm left in the middle.
And the painful moans she heard vaguely before were leaked from this small sliding window.
She slowly opened the small window, and her vision was filled with darkness.
As her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, she finally used the dim firelight outside to see clearly inside.
Pupils shrink suddenly.
Xu Yingying was tied to a shelf in the middle of the room with her limbs spread wide. She was moaning weakly and in pain with her head hanging down.
Two tubes as thick as index fingers were connected to the wrists of both hands, extending all the way to the wall on the side, probably connected to the room next door.
The ground in the prison was extremely dark. When she looked carefully, she realized that it should be a water prison. It was completely submerged in water from the knees down. There seemed to be something in the water that was swimming around it.
Since the end of the world, I have seen so many tattered zombies, rotting corpses, mutated monster-like zombies or animals beyond recognition.
She thought nothing would move her.
Until I saw this scene and understood what Xu Yingying was going through, I felt my stomach churn in an instant.
Xu Yingying is being used as a blood bag!
As for what is in the water, you don't need to think too much to know that it must be an aquatic blood-sucking creature, either to weaken its strength or to experiment with whether something can be grown using its blood.
Her expression turned cold, and she no longer looked as leisurely as before: "Xu Yingying."
Xu Yingying heard her voice inside, and it took her a while to react, and she slowly raised her head.
The moment it saw the person clearly, it immediately became excited, and the chains that tied it began to shake violently, making a harsh clattering sound.
The hoarse voice was like a weak evil ghost crawling up from the eighteenth level of hell: "Shi... Ling, Yao..."
Her eyes swayed slightly, and her voice changed slightly: "Why did they do this to you?"
Rather than waiting for it to say something that is not sure whether it is true or not, the power of thought is already ready to attack and invade its mind instantly.
She got the truth in its consciousness.
The fact that the Li family took action to arrest Xu Yingying so quickly was not at all the result of the secret message she had secretly altered.
Long before Xu Yingying lived in the northern village and mixed with Liu Gang, it had already been connected with the Li family!
It was originally brought back by Zhang Hu from Ningcheng and given to the deputy city lord Wang Jingsheng for disposal. It took advantage of the old past to betray Wang Jingsheng and took the opportunity to steal Wang Jingsheng's red branches and escape.
Shi Lingyao suddenly realized.
She was surprised that she could not find the third red branch. It turned out that He Yuanqing's father and brother gave one to Wang Jingsheng as a bribe, hoping to use it to gain status in the city.
But when she arrived in Ningcheng, Xu Yingying had already stolen the red branches and ran away. Naturally, she searched the whole city and found nothing.
The first time she asked Wang Jingsheng about the whereabouts of Xu Yingying, the reason why there was nothing about the red branches in his consciousness was because he didn't even know that the red branches had been stolen at that time!
This is where her mind power detection is not good. If the question is a little off, or the person being asked has no relevant memory, then she won't be able to detect it.
Xu Yingying stole the red branch and fled. It had seen Xu Qing and others using red branches to save people, and imitated their approach and brought the red branch close to the wound, but the red branch did not move at all.
It was so anxious that it saw itself becoming more and more like a zombie, its thinking gradually became chaotic, and it fell to the ground unwillingly.
The treasure that can save people is obviously in its hands, why can't it be used? !
When it was dying, it used its last thought to bring the red branch to its mouth and bite it in one bite.
The subsequent memories were fragmented, with only boundless darkness and severe pain spreading.
When it regained consciousness again, it found itself tied to a stone platform by Wuhua Da, surrounded by an empty cave.
A handsome man slowly walked into its sight, his eyes looking at it were gentle and kind, showing no trace of disgust or fear when seeing an ugly monster: "Are you awake?"
Even the voice is as gentle as jade, and a simple greeting is like a whisper between lovers, full of tenderness.
At that time, Xu Yingying was still full of vigilance and guarding against the other party.
But the man didn't take it seriously at all, and introduced him as one of the three generals of the imperial capital, Li Xiayu.
He said that he picked it up during an outing. Seeing that it was talking unconsciously in its sleep, he thought it was a seriously injured human being and picked it up for treatment.
Unexpectedly, it struggled and injured a person unintentionally. After the injury, the person quickly turned into a manic zombie monster.
"I'm just curious about what happened to you. If my curiosity causes you a bad mood, girl, then I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."
That's what the other party said at the time.
It was probably because it had experienced painful torture and finally survived a narrow escape. When it met such a gentle person, it let down its guard and told the story in detail.
Of course, it is still the same rhetoric that confuses right and wrong.
The two soon became familiar with it, and it was moved from the cave to a small private courtyard in the backyard of the general's mansion.
After that, the two of them conspired to use her blood to enhance the warrior's abilities and allow him to speak, which gave both of them hope.
Their experiments were conducted in private and required large numbers of living humans.
It's just that they are in the imperial capital and it's not easy to move around. Xu Yingying suggested that they can go to the south to catch it. The imperial capital is so high that the emperor is far away, so they won't know what's going on.
Even if they find out in the future, they can still blame Shi Lingyao from Taoyuan City.
Then it went to the village in the north, trying to use Liu Gang to capture more people. Unexpectedly, it had a bad start, so it caught the first group of people and attracted Shi Lingyao. She almost beat him to death, but only managed to escape. .
Not giving up, they headed south again, this time choosing a place slightly away from Shi Lingyao's influence. Before they had time to choose their chess pieces, they met their wife Lin Shuang, who had become a drought demon.
Compared to his childish methods, Lin Shuang's methods were much more vicious. He planned the injury of the big bear and fed zombie venom to the wild boar in advance, just to see the entire village fall into a desperate hell of biting people.
In order to prevent his hands and feet from being discovered, Lin Shuang found the casings of a mutated bison and filled them with a lot of his own blood.
In order to prevent the casing from being chewed by the wild boar, Xu Yingying held down the wild boar and opened its mouth. Lin Shuang reached out and stuffed the casing filled with zombie blood directly from his throat!
