Chapter 44 I only believe it

Su Yi did not leave the rooftop. He watched Jiang Xiaoci lead the women downstairs and all the way to the wall.

Although the community where Su Yi is located is old, it has a wide area and large distances between each building.

Surrounded by a wall, it is basically a place of its own without being disturbed.

However, in order to facilitate entry and exit, there are simple iron doors that can be opened on all sides of the wall, which can only be opened from the inside.

Jiang Xiaoci didn't pause too much. She walked straight to the wall where the three women were, opened the iron door, and walked out with several women.

"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen!"

At Jiang Xiaoci's signal, Sister Li quickly opened her voice and said hello, so that the three women heard it from a distance and turned their heads to look over.

"Oh my God, it's really you three!"

With a face full of surprise, Sister Li broke away from the team, walked forward quickly, and took one of the women's hands: "Where did you go? After that night, we couldn't find you."

"Thank God, you three are back."

Sister Li couldn't tolerate the three women's rejection and pulled them to Jiang Xiaoci.

"Ms. Jiang, these three are the sisters I mentioned to you before who disappeared in the subway station."

"Fortunately, they came back alive!"

Sister Li introduced to Jiang Xiaoci excitedly, and Jiang Xiaoci looked them up and down.

The three girls were dressed in rags and exposed a lot of things. There were bruises all over their bodies from abuse. They had panicked and uneasy looks on their faces. Even their bodies smelled foul.

Sister Li motioned to the three girls: "Hurry up and call someone!"

They quickly lowered their heads and said timidly: "Hello, Miss Jiang."

"Um."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded and asked calmly: "I'm very happy that you can come back, but I'm curious...why did you disappear at the subway station?"

"We...we were so hungry, so we went out to find something to eat."

One of the girls lowered her head and explained, not looking like she was lying.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Xiaoci looked at them with a half-smile: "I heard from Sister Li that you all brought food with you when you left here, and the amount was enough to last two days."

"You just stayed out all night and you don't have enough food?"

Jiang Xiaoci raised his eyebrows and suddenly said: "Are you good at eating?"

"Ah...yes, yes, I have a big appetite."

The girl nodded nervously, a little flustered by Jiang Xiaoci's words, and hurriedly and disrespectfully took the steps given by Jiang Xiaoci.

Now even Sister Li and the women around her can see that there is something abnormal about these three sisters.

Helplessness appeared on Sister Li's face, but she did not speak. She just looked at Jiang Xiaoci with some fear.

"Um."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded and asked specifically: "When you come back, you don't plan to leave again, right?"

"No... I don't plan to."

The girl lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Jiang Xiaoci's eyes.

"Open the door."

Jiang Xiaoci didn't talk nonsense. She waved her hand and motioned for the girls inside to open the iron door: "The new friends have gone home."

...

The iron gate slowly opened, and Jiang Xiaoci led the women into the wall.

Two buildings away, two men holding kitchen knives were bent over and hidden in the bushes of the community. They narrowed their eyes slightly and watched the women go home.

"People have gone in, and it looks like there are fat sheep here."

One of the men licked his mouth, with a wolfish look in his eyes: "This place is full of women. The one in the cheongsam is so on point. If you can touch her...it will be worth losing your life!"

"I think this place is a bit weird. Would such an old community have such a wall?"

Another man muttered, feeling uneasy: "This place looks like a military fortress. I'm afraid it's not a fat sheep. It might be a trick."

"What should we do? These three women have been released. Is this a loss?"

The companion's expression was also a little hesitant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Those three women said that the boss of this place was killed by another guy. The guy who killed him should have got a lot of points to build this wall."

"Go back and inform the boss. As long as we bring more manpower and equipment, we may not be worse than them. What's more, we still have three internal personnel inside."

"As long as we can capture this place, not only can we capture those women, but these walls and everything else are ours!"

The two men turned around and quietly left the community.

...

At this moment, in Su Yi's shelter.

As soon as the three women entered the building, they couldn't help but feel a chill and tremble all over.

So cool!

The temperature inside the building feels like it's only around 30 degrees, and it gets even cooler as you go up.

The huge temperature difference gave these three women goosebumps all over their bodies and made them shiver.

"There are a lot of air conditioners on here, be careful not to catch a cold."

Sister Li thoughtfully brought some clothes and handed them to the three girls, explaining with a smile.

One of the girls looked surprised: "Sister Li... isn't there a power outage in the whole city? How can the air conditioner be turned on here?"

"There's electricity here."

Jiang Xiaoci replied calmly, without letting Sister Li explain too much.

"There is electricity..."

The three girls looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

In the hot apocalypse of a city-wide blackout, the air conditioning can even be turned on in this building, and life seems unaffected!

Is this building still the place where we stayed not long ago?

The girls were a little confused and fell into silence.

Although they were standing in a familiar environment, their hearts were still filled with an uneasy feeling of strangeness.

On the contrary, Jiang Xiaoci was the first to speak. She looked at the girls up and down and asked directly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming back."

"Ms. Jiang, they...may just want to go home."

Sister Li wanted to say something to help, but under Jiang Xiaoci's cold eyes, she wisely shut up.

"Yeah, we just want to go home."

One of the girls nodded quickly. She lowered her head and replied: "We lived here before. Sister Li can testify that we have been looking for the location of Sister Li and the others since we lost contact."

"We searched everywhere. We had no choice but to go home and try our luck. I didn't expect you to be at home."

Before the girl finished speaking, Xiao Wang, the girl behind Jiang Xiaoci, suddenly said: "You lied!"

"We have been looking for you since we came out of the subway station, and we almost encountered danger."

"If Sister Lin Yue hadn't saved us, we don't know where we are now... So many of us women would be in danger together. You three are looking for us everywhere, how come you are still safe?"

Xiao Wang's eyes were fixed on the three girls. They were so flustered that they lowered their heads and remained silent.

Jiang Xiaoci smiled: "You still refuse to tell the truth. It seems you have a tough mouth."

"Take them to the basement."

Jiang Xiaoci turned around and left. Xiao Wang bravely took the lead, holding a steel spear against the backs of the three girls: "Follow me quickly!"

"Xiao Wang... we all know each other, there is no need for this."

Sister Li still wanted to be a peacemaker, but Xiao Wang glared at her: "Sister Li, we are always bullied because we are too soft-hearted!"

"Ms. Jiang told me that women must be more cruel than men in order to survive in this era!"

Xiao Wang turned his head and yelled: "Hurry up!"

The steel spear was pressed against their backs, causing bursts of pain. The three girls were a little panicked. They didn't know why the timid and gentle Xiao Wang seemed to be a different person.

This place is still the same place as before, and the people are still the same people I knew before, but everything is extremely strange.

...

In the empty basement, the darkness was dispersed by the light of torches.

There is no air conditioning here, and the room is filled with sweltering heat.

The three girls were taken to the basement. There was only an iron bed against the wall in the empty basement.

Jiang Xiaoci stood beside the bed, stroking the edge of the iron bed with her slender fingers: "Last chance, why are you here?"

They looked at Jiang Xiaoci in confusion and remained silent without speaking.

"Why..."

Jiang Xiaoci sighed slightly. She looked up at the girl who was guarding the three women. Xiao Wang nodded: "Sister Jiang, Xiao Zheng will bring the things right away."

Soon.

Rapid footsteps came from above the basement, and another girl with a ponytail entered the basement carrying an old cloth bag.

"Sister Jiang, most of the things are here, but Sister Li Ya said there are some things she doesn't want to make..."

Xiao Zheng handed the cloth bag to Jiang Xiaoci, and Jiang Xiaoci nodded casually: "Yes, I understand."

"Crash!"

Jiang Xiaoci poured the contents of the cloth bag onto the iron bed, and the women holding torches around him changed their colors.

The items in the cloth bag were iron handcuffs, iron bamboo sticks, soldering irons, clamps, daggers... This was a bunch of torture instruments of different shapes!

"You know, I don't know if I can use these gadgets that I used to use frequently."

Jiang Xiaoci picked up a pair of small scissors and repaired her nails carelessly.

"Miss Jiang..."

Sister Li's face was full of fear. She took courage and said tremblingly: "We...we can't do this. Can the chief allow it?"

"Xiao Wang, pick one and tie it to the bed."

Jiang Xiaoci did not answer Sister Li. She gave instructions without raising her head and her tone was indifferent.

"yes..."

Xiao Wang was stunned. She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, pushing a girl forward: "Go over!"

"I...I!"

The girl trembled all over and looked at Jiang Xiaoci with wide eyes in disbelief. This beautiful woman could actually use such appalling methods!

Now anyone can guess what Jiang Xiaoci is going to do. One of the three women could not bear the terrifying and depressing atmosphere and cried out: "I tell you! I will tell you everything!"

"Don't torture me, I don't want it! I don't want it!"

The woman's cry echoed in the basement, very sad.

"Do you want to say it?"

Jiang Xiaoci raised her head. She tilted her head and suddenly smiled: "It's too late, I don't believe you now."

Jiang Xiaoci picked out an iron dagger from the iron bed and shook it as a sign.

"I only believe this."
