"Stop talking nonsense and lift the damn iron bars quickly, otherwise we won't do anything!!" Hu Xiaodong was very tough. As a being who has been practicing in the battlefield of life and death in the apocalypse for a year, he has long been accustomed to death. 8┡ 1中文 网
Human beings have to die early or late, but if his life must be maintained by his relatives, friends and brothers, Hu Xiaodong would rather die.
"Xiao Hu, your character is very resolute, which is good! But if you are too firm in your behavior, you will be easily broken. You should leave yourself a way out in everything."
"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. But now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about big things."
Hu Xiaodong's head was high, and he looked like he had sacrificed his life generously.
The woman was not in a hurry when she saw it, and said: "The reason why we do this is completely in accordance with our regulations. And when you had dinner just now, you also made a promise to the owner of the village, saying that you would strictly abide by it. Why, this Did you forget after only a few minutes?"
"Rules? Are you kidding? Putting people in a cage and calling them rules!? Holding an inexplicable election and calling it rules!? Now kidnapping people and calling it rules!? Do you really think we are fools and idiots? We still trust us so much in vain. You, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!!”
When things got to this point, Hu Xiaodong simply turned against him.
She frowned slightly, and it was obvious that Hu Xiaodong's words made the woman uncomfortable.
It's no wonder that as the housekeeper of the manor, she is "below one person and above ten thousand people".
Apart from anything else, what Hu Xiaodong and others saw, heard and felt in the past two days was enough to reveal the old woman's status in the manor.
But now, in front of so many family members, being questioned by Hu Xiaodong like this, the woman's originally peaceful and smiling face gradually faded away, and turned into a cold and vicious one!
"Hu Xiaodong! I advise you not to challenge my bottom line, otherwise the sacrifices made by your friends will be in vain!"
"Don't fix those useless things, I don't care..."
"Xiao Hu!!" interrupted Hu Xiaodong's words, and Xu Renjie pulled the angry Hu Xiaodong back to the camp.
"Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Although it was not clear what medicine the woman was selling in her gourd, Lao Xu analyzed her words and it seemed that the other party did not intend to harm Hu Xiaodong.
At least not for now.
In this case, one should not further stimulate the woman.
As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. If one of us survives, there is at least a slight possibility of resistance.
Otherwise, if everyone is in trouble, then...
After being drank like this by Lao Xu, Hu Xiaodong's head became slightly clearer.
He was also aware of his recklessness.
There was nothing he could do, everything in the house just now really made him unable to calm down.
But now...he stepped back and stopped talking.
After Hu Xiaodong's restless mood was calmed, Lao Xu took a step forward, then leaned down and picked up the straps on the ground.
"Don't worry, we will do as you say, and I hope you won't embarrass us."
He knew this was nonsense, but Lao Xu still hoped to use this to keep Hu Xiaodong.
No matter what, someone must tell the brothers outside about what happens here.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Very good! Those who understand current affairs are heroes. What you did, Lao Xu, is correct. Your cooperation will be duly rewarded."
It's all bullshit. The old woman is like a magician who keeps talking about mystical things.
Hello, Hu Xiaodong, Huo Yuankai turned around.
Xu Renjie tied the belts on the two of them one after another.
While he was moving, the old woman did not forget to remind him: "Be sure to tie him tightly, this is a test you must endure."
Lao Xu ignored the old woman's nonsense.
With so many people watching, he even wanted to give Hu Xiaodong and Huo Yuankai trouble.
I have to deal with Hu Xiaodong and Huo Yuankai.
Lao Xu didn't ask anyone else for help, but tied his wrists tightly behind his back.
After that, he turned around and focused on the old woman: "As you requested, we are all tied up. What should we do next?"
"Go to the dining table, step back, and hand your tied wrists out from the railing. We need to test your results to see if you really want to complete the ceremony and join us."
Huo Yuankai glanced at Hu Xiaodong, and Lao Xu signaled, "Just do as he said."
At this point, Hu Xiaodong had no other idea of resistance and could only follow Lao Xu's instructions and was turned around and retreated to the fence.
Immediately, the guards came forward and carefully checked the strapping conditions of Lao Xu, Hu Xiaodong, and Huo Yuankai in turn.
"No problem!" After the inspection, the guard reported to the old woman respectfully.
After hearing this, the old woman nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
"Now, can you get this thing up and let us out?" Lao Xu asked calmly.
The old woman raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and then the guard picked up the handstand and said: "Up!!"
Immediately afterwards, a harsh noise was heard coming from the top.
Then, with the sound of the chain turning, the thick iron bars moved upward bit by bit.
After reaching the height of one person, the old woman ordered: "Everyone, come out."
Needless to say, Hu Xiaodong was the first to get out of the iron fence attack range.
Lao Xu and Huo Yuankai followed closely behind.
"Follow us! Don't play tricks. Remember, this is a test for you!" It's this sentence again. Everyone knows that the so-called test is to remind Hu Xiaodong and others to cooperate.
"Hmph, don't worry, we will do it." The two guards were each equipped with standard weapons.
With this posture, even if Lao Xu, Hu Xiaodong and others had the intention, they would have no place to exert their efforts.
After all, there's a fine line between courage and recklessness.
If you still act impulsively when you know that there is no possibility of victory for your side, that is not called courage, but fearless recklessness.
Two guards escorted Hu Xiaodong and his party towards the door.
The survivors watched everyone leave without following up.
Lao Xu and others were waiting to go out, and then the woman strolled behind the team to follow.
Lao Xu asked calmly: "Where are you taking us?"
Not surprisingly, it was quiet, and Lao Xu's question was ignored.
However, the manor did not give an answer, but as the journey progressed, Lao Xu gained some clarity.
He didn't know the layout of the manor before, but he just took a walk in Commissioner this morning.
Such a short stroll may not be of much use to ordinary people.
But don't forget what Lao Xu does. He is a soldier and a professionally trained scout.
Reconnaissance and platooning are their essential skills, so Lao Xu's understanding of the manor's terrain has been greatly improved.
It was precisely because of this that the further he walked, the more frightened and uneasy he became.
Why, you ask?
Because judging from the location he was traveling so far, it seemed that the place where the guards escorted them was... the basement.
That's right! It was the basement where Lao Xu and others accidentally bumped into earlier because they were not familiar with the terrain of the manor.
Is that where you want to go? (To be continued.)
