Chapter 16: In the desert town, how did they escape being held hostage?
The truck drove through the sandstorm and soon arrived at the edge of a village that was almost completely covered by sand.
When the car stopped, everyone who had been resting opened their eyes.
Looking at the surroundings, Aya turned to the group and said, "Everyone, let's go and rest for a while. Let's stay here and catch our breath."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the carriage laughed and got off the train.
After jumping out of the car, Ali turned around and glanced at Lu Yao, frowning as he said, "Kid, do you want to pee too?"
Lu Yao did not respond, but simply nodded heavily.
"Aya, we just need to keep an eye on him!"
Ali smiled and said, "You can rest for a while now. Everyone, please have something to eat here first, and then we'll continue on our way."
"good!"
Looking around, Aya nodded and reminded everyone, "Be careful, everyone. This isn't the outskirts of the settlement, and there might be other bandits around."
The group nodded in agreement and then surrounded Lu Yao, heading towards a dilapidated house in front of them.
Reaching the doorway, Ali turned back, grinned at Lu Yao, and said, "Kid, come in with us to pee. Don't even think about running away, unless you can outrun our bullets!"
Understanding the meaning of his threat, Lu Yao quickly nodded in acknowledgment.
At the same time, he was also worried about what would happen next.
After all, his situation is getting worse and worse. Once he gets to the gathering place the other party mentioned, he will probably be sold off.
He didn't have much time left to escape.
Several people were standing together using the restroom, and the live stream camera was moved outside.
Lu Yao didn't want her trip to the toilet to be broadcast live.
Inside the live stream room.
When everyone saw the scene change, they all started making jokes.
[A radish: Why are you hiding like this? Are you afraid to see anyone?]
[Brother Wuji: I'm afraid the streamer's little streamer isn't very good, is she? They're already too ashamed to be seen in public, shouldn't they be taken out for a stroll on such a nice day?]
[Turtle Fan's Midnight Dream: No, this live stream is getting a little inappropriate. What are you guys talking about?]
[OHYYHO: Something's not right. There's a figure standing over there in the house in the top left corner, isn't there? It looks like a silhouette!]
[Patrick's friend: Holy crap, I thought it was just a black cloth. Now that you mention it, it really is a person. Are there other people around here?]
[One radish: It's not just one person; it looks like there are several hiding here. Could it be one of those lunatics again?]
【…】
After the viewers in the live stream noticed the problem, they started pointing it out in the chat.
After Lu Yao finished using the restroom, he glanced at the comments section and was about to type a message asking the viewers how he should escape.
But seeing the barrage of comments alerting him that someone was approaching immediately put him on alert.
Damn it.
Why am I so unlucky?
He was only captured a short time ago, and after being attacked by a gang of thieves, is he about to be attacked again?
Looking at Ali and the others laughing and joking, Lu Yao's lips twitched involuntarily.
I can't remind them, because I'm mute.
Moreover, Ali and his group were determined to sell him out, which meant they were on the opposite side of him.
but……
Who are these people hiding in this dilapidated town?
I bet he'd think of selling him after seeing me, right?
During the silence, Ali noticed that Lu Yao had suddenly stopped moving and immediately frowned, saying, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go back to the car, eat something, and we'll get ready to leave!"
Lu Yao stood still, then, with an air of resignation, he opened his arms and laughed.
Seeing his appearance, Ali and the others were also puzzled.
next moment.
One after another, figures darted out from all directions, each clad in a black robe and carrying daggers, rushing forward and immediately striking with deadly precision.
The dagger slashed directly at Ali and the others' necks, simultaneously covering their mouths and giving them no chance to speak.
Even beneath their feet, people sprang out of the yellow sand and immediately attacked Ali and his men.
Because they were in a small town, Aya and the others couldn't see what was happening here.
Lu Yao spread his arms, looking as if he was about to be captured.
Ali never imagined that they would come in to use the restroom with hostages and die so inexplicably.
There were thirteen people who made the move, led by a burly man whose arms were covered with hideous purple markings.
After confirming that Ali and the others were all dead, the burly man finally spoke: "Throw the bodies into the room and clean up all the traces!"
The men following behind him began to move, throwing all of Ali's and the others' bodies into the room.
One of them glanced at Lu Yao and sneered, "We're lucky this time. We've run into a hostage, and a bunch of idiots delivered her right to our doorstep."
Everyone else burst into laughter, and the way they looked at Lu Yao changed.
Lu Yao, however, seemed completely unconcerned, appearing relaxed instead.
The burly man sized up Lu Yao, frowned, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of us?"
He didn't ask Lu Yao where she came from, nor did he inquire about Ali and the others' situation. Instead, he was somewhat surprised that Lu Yao wasn't afraid of them.
"Why be afraid?"
Lu Yao retorted with a grin, "Anyway, I'm going to be sold. They don't treat me like a human being, and neither do you, right? It's all the same outcome, so I don't care."
Upon hearing this, the burly man fell silent for a moment, while the others exchanged glances and then stood together in silence.
It's as if these people all have some unspeakable hardships.
Lu Yao also sensed something was wrong, so she simply asked, "When are you planning to sell me?"
"Kid, don't let the term 'hostage' corrupt your mind!"
The burly man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although we are all corrupted, we were just like you before we were corrupted. To put it bluntly, we are all human beings. Calling us hostages is just a bunch of idiots spouting nonsense."
The others nodded silently, agreeing with what the burly man had said.
The skinny man who had initially called Lu Yao a hostage toyed with the dagger in his hand and chuckled sinisterly, "Kid, we were hostages before too, but we had nowhere to go after escaping, so we hid here and got contaminated. Otherwise, why do you think we didn't kidnap you right away?"
What?!
Were these people also hostages before?
The burly man smiled and nodded, extending his hand and saying, "My name is Kuishan. Don't be afraid. We've all been hostages before, and we know how tough it is. Don't worry, we won't sell you..."
