#977 - Chapter 977: Can’t Die Yet
"The higher-ups are calling us to assemble! Everyone, quickly wrap up your work and prepare to head over together."
Gao Qiang, who was resting in the cleaning department's designated area, preparing for new work, was suddenly jolted by this notification.
Calling all of them to assemble!?
What's going on!?
However, the cleaning department supervisor who delivered the message didn't explain anything, repeatedly urging everyone to hurry over.
Although Gao Qiang vaguely sensed something was wrong, he naturally wouldn't suddenly lash out and do anything out of the ordinary without confirmation.
He exchanged a look with another team member and followed the other colleagues out.
As a former famous prison in Xiang Province, the Prison-style Base naturally had many buildings specifically for various purposes.
At this moment.
A place resembling an outdoor playground.
The cleaning department personnel were all gathered here, unsure of what they were supposed to do.
Because the entire Prison-style Base was very large, with many places needing cleaning, and with nearly two thousand people living in the base, there were nearly a hundred cleaning personnel.
Having received the notice from their superiors, none of them disobeyed, and they all obediently came here.
However.
Some of them vaguely sensed that it might be related to something that happened today.
Something happened at the base today. Nearly ten people mysteriously disappeared last night, suspected of being murdered. It was a big commotion just now, and now they've gathered all the cleaning department personnel here. Could it be related to this matter?
Congratulations to them, they guessed right.
"The reason for gathering everyone here is probably something some of you have already guessed!"
"That's right! Someone in our base was murdered last night!"
"And according to our investigation, the murderer is among you cleaning personnel!!"
Whoa—
At the high platform in the playground, an investigation leader in charge of this matter took the microphone and interrupted the chattering below, releasing a message that plunged them into even greater uproar!
The murderer is among them!?
They found him so quickly!?
The cleaning department personnel were all shocked!
They looked at each other, trying to discern any abnormalities on the faces of those around them.
Although Gao Qiang was shocked, he didn't reveal even a hint of it on the surface.
He didn't expect that last night's events would be exposed so quickly, leading to the discovery of the cleaning department he was in.
The situation suddenly became extremely bad!
Support from the Green Source Base definitely wouldn't arrive so quickly. Relying solely on himself, unarmed, there was no possibility of breaking out of the Prison-style Base, and moreover, he hadn't even achieved his main goal of entering this place!
What to do?!
He didn't immediately lash out and make any unusual moves, constantly thinking about how to deal with the situation next.
Seeing that all the cleaning department personnel had arrived, the person in charge on the platform decided it was time to find that hateful murderer.
"Anyone who wasn't on duty last night, take five steps back! This matter has nothing to do with you!"
He coldly uttered the words of selection.
It was obvious that the criminal, or rather, the group of criminals who violated the rules set by the Black Boss last night, must be among the personnel on duty.
As soon as he finished speaking, those who were initially uneasy, hearing that they were not within the scope of the matter to be dealt with, immediately moved quickly.
The higher-ups had said that those who weren't on duty last night had nothing to do with it!
There was a bustling movement in the field, with only those who had duty assignments last night not daring to move.
The cleaning department had a special schedule, and even if they wanted to blend into the moving crowd at this time, they couldn't hide it. Daring to mess around might cause misunderstandings.
In just two minutes.
Many positions were vacated in the originally nearly hundred-person playground, and the remaining dozen or so people standing in place were particularly conspicuous!
"Hiss—, the murderer is really among these people!"
The personnel who had taken a few steps back and were feeling relaxed began to whisper to each other.
Stared at by the gazes of others, these dozen or so personnel all felt extremely uneasy.
The innocents among them wanted to speak, but the person in charge on the platform had already continued with the microphone.
"We have this list, but we don't plan to directly pick you out! The murderer is among you! Now we'll give you another chance. If you obediently come out, you'll suffer less punishment later!"
The person in charge shouted sinisterly at these dozen or so personnel.
He could guess that the murderer was among these people, but directly picking him out was boring. There would be a good show later.
Hearing these words, these dozen people naturally didn't dare to answer. Who would dare to admit it at this time?
The scene suddenly turned cold.
The person in charge, who had been prepared for this, gestured to the side.
Immediately, a group of armed personnel came over!
"Hang all these people up!"
"Since no one admits it, and no one reports it, then let's see how tough the murderer's mouth is!"
!!!
Hearing the person in charge's words, and seeing those armed people staring at them menacingly, these dozen or so people who had duty assignments last night dared not move even more.
They were easily subdued by the people who came up and hung with their hands separated on the iron railings on the side of the playground.
Then, most of their clothes were taken off, leaving only a close-fitting pair of underwear.
Gao Qiang didn't resist at all, and was hung up along with the others.
His heart had sunk to the bottom, thinking about some desperate measures.
Fortunately, another Green Source team member wasn't assigned a duty task last night. At this time, he was among the spectators, looking at this side with worried eyes.
At this time, more personnel from the Prison-style Base ran out to watch the excitement. More than five or six hundred people gathered around the entire playground, and more people were constantly joining the crowd of onlookers.
Naturally, those who had nothing to do were curious and ran out to see the excitement when such an "audacious" criminal appeared in hell.
Seeing that the situation was only becoming clearer, the person in charge on the platform looked at this scene with satisfaction.
"Since none of you are willing to admit who did the good deed last night, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Come on! Start the torture!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen strong men holding long whips walked out from below the hanged people!
Pa—
Without any extra words, these strong men used the long, rough whips in their hands to lash out forcefully!
Pa—
Pa—
"Ahhhhh—!!!!"
The sound of the long whip kissing the flesh, and the screams from the mouths of the tortured, intertwined and echoed across the playground!
The torture began directly!
The person in charge didn't plan to slowly find out the group of murderers at all, choosing to use a more direct method to force them out!
As for whether there were innocent people among them?
Sorry.
Then he could only consider himself unlucky.
Hell doesn't make sense at all. Fists and status are king!
Pa—
One long whip after another struck Gao Qiang's chest, tearing his skin open to reveal the bright red muscle tissue inside. The intense pain impacted his mind, but this man didn't utter a word.
His gaze looked in a certain direction.
His sister hadn't been rescued yet, he couldn't die here!
