Chapter 581

Zheng Yingxiong gave Tiantian a very strange feeling.

He seemed just like her, as if he never wanted to live.

Now, both of them wanted the other to leave and themselves to die.

If this kept going, who could survive?

"Let's live together if we're going to live..."Tiantian said with a bitter smile, then turned to Lao Liu and said, "Big brother, I've said I'm willing to do anything. But I don't want this child to see me like this, so can he wait here while I go in with you?"

"No."Lao Liu said firmly, "If he runs off to call your companions... I'm the one in the most danger."

"Our companions...?"

Tiantian realized that the other party must have mistaken her and Zheng Yingxiong as teammates who had run out of the same room, which is why from the beginning, no one was allowed to leave alone.

"Lao Fang, bring Xiao Cheng out and kill this child to drain his blood."Lao Liu turned back and called, "We'll have something to eat for the next few days."

"Drain his blood..."

Although Tiantian could imagine that such things were the norm in Zhongyan Zhidi, when it came to her own situation, it was still hard to accept.

If this child hadn't met her... would he have such a tragic fate?

"Wait a minute..."Tiantian suppressed the panic in her heart and said to the tall man in front of her, "Honestly, there are already plenty of corpses here... If you really want food, there are even corpses around that have already been drained of blood... Why do you have to target a child? It's clearly possible without killing..."

"It seems you really haven't eaten people..."Lao Liu stared at her with his yellowish eyes and asked, "Then how have you survived here?"

"I..."Tiantian naturally didn't want to tell him about her experiences, but she still couldn't accept that eating people was the norm.

"In this damned place, even plants can't grow, and farming doesn't work."Lao Liu frowned and said, "If you want to survive, don't you have to eat people? We've eaten all kinds of corpses... Generally speaking, men are better than old people, women better than men, and the best is kids. Kids have less muscle, mostly fat, so when you roast them, they sizzle with oil and don't burn easily, and their organs are also clean, so you can eat them too."

"That's ridiculous..."Tiantian gritted her teeth and said, "So that means neither of us can escape..."

"Originally, you could have escaped."Lao Liu laughed, "But seeing as you have dry rations and water on you... you must be part of an organization, right? Otherwise, I can't imagine how a delicate woman and a ten-year-old child could gather these things themselves. So now, neither of you can leave; if you do, it would put us in danger."

Tiantian never thought that Zheng Yingxiong's backpack would become the trigger for their deaths at this time.

"So you're going to kill us directly?"Tiantian asked.

"No, I want to 'make full use' of you."Lao Liu laughed, "Here, beautiful women have their uses, and kids have theirs; you'll understand later."

"No need to wait until later..."Tiantian answered with a look of despair, "I've seen more dirty things in this world than anyone..."

"Oh?"Lao Liu clearly didn't believe her, "You little delicate girl, acting all profound here?"

"Let me put it this way."Tiantian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her whole aura seemed to change, "I know I'm definitely not getting away, but you still have a choice. If you want to have a good time later, do as I say and let this child go. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die when you're having your most fun..."

Although she was saying the most humble words, Tiantian's aura still made Lao Liu feel uneasy.

He even worried that the woman in front of him was some kind of Hui Xiang Zhe with strange abilities, since from the beginning, she had been unnaturally calm, not like an ordinary girl.

Lao Liu said nothing, staring into Tiantian's eyes, scrutinizing her continuously.

Normally, to tell if someone is lying, you just need to see if their eyes show any flaws.

And Lao Liu caught a trace of panic deep in Tiantian's eyes.

No matter how calm her words were, her expression couldn't deceive him.

She had no trump card; her only trump card was just the threat in her earlier words.

At this time, Lao Fang and Xiao Cheng had also come up behind Lao Liu, and the two were thinking about something with different expressions.

"She's lying."Lao Liu laughed, "Kill the child, and tie up the woman."

Tiantian instantly widened her eyes, and Lao Fang had already walked up to Zheng Yingxiong with a mad smile on his face.

Zheng Yingxiong's head wound made him groggy, and he couldn't even move.

"Don't..."Tiantian panicked and grabbed Lao Fang, "You can kill me, but don't kill him..."

"Get lost!"Lao Fang kicked Tiantian away, "You'll get yours soon enough!"

Tiantian fell to the ground, her whole body trembling. What had become of this world?

Whether in the real world or in Zhongyan Zhidi, what was the difference?

It seemed everywhere it was the same: survival of the fittest was the only rule.

Making full use of women and children—how laughable?

Why did all the people who were good to her end up dying?

Lao Fang roughly grabbed Zheng Yingxiong by the neck, pulling him up from the ground, and Zheng Yingxiong kept weakly hitting Lao Fang with the newspaper sword in his hand.

He seemed to be swinging a real sword, slashing horizontally then vertically, and then thrusting forward with the tip.

Unfortunately, the newspaper, made from cheap mechanical groundwood pulp to save costs, wasn't even suitable for killing, let alone swatting an ant.

"Uncle Fang!!"The young man called Xiao Cheng stepped forward and pulled Lao Fang back, "That's enough! Why do we have to hurt the child?"

Lao Liu snorted coldly and pulled out a knife, pressing it against Xiao Cheng's waist: "Xiao Cheng, are you tired of living? Do you know why you've survived until now?"

"I..."Xiao Cheng, unarmed and with a knife at his waist, had no choice but to show an expression of unwillingness.

Watching Zheng Yingxiong's face turn red from strangulation, Tiantian felt her whole state was very strange.

She could allow anyone in the world to die, but not someone who was good to her.

Because people who are good to you are rarer than anything.

Now, with Yunyao's whereabouts unknown, and the little boy she met on the road about to die tragically for no reason, this feeling covered her heart with deep despair.

She didn't want to escape from here, and now it seemed she couldn't live here either.

Was destroying this place the only right answer?

"Dang"!

As the bell rang, Lao Fang, who was holding Zheng Yingxiong, suddenly shuddered, as if experiencing something strange.

Zheng Yingxiong still had a red face, eyes closed, waving his short sword.

One sword, two swords, three swords.

Lao Fang's clothes were continuously cut open, flesh flying, blood splattering.

In just a few seconds, he completely lost his strength, released his grip on Zheng Yingxiong, and fell backward to the ground.
