Li Ke took off his half-person-high backpack and put it on the ground. He pulled out a folding chair from his backpack and sat down. He looked at the little boy and asked, "More than 200 people have captured more than 500 of you. Are they very capable?"

The woman next to the little boy hugged him tightly, not letting him speak again, and continued Li Ke's words: "They were ruthless and had weapons. Many of us went in and couldn't get out. The iron chains on our feet were also locked tightly, so we couldn't run far. If we were caught and brought back, the consequences would be even worse."

Li Ke asked again: "Do they have guns?"

The woman looked up at Li Ke, then lowered her eyes: "Yes, but not many. I have only seen the three big bosses holding guns. I heard that they killed several public officials to get them. Some also said that they were public officials before."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Ke didn't want to waste time, so he asked the people in front of him what they dug out of the soil. The child took out a handful of long strips from the bucket and showed them to Li Ke: "It's sea worms. They have changed a little and the taste is not very good, but they are still edible."

Li Ke couldn't bear to look at this thing, and quickly asked the boy to put down the thing in his hand: "Do you often come here to catch these things?"

"Today is the first time I come here. Before, we were on the beach ten miles away. It's been hard to catch them recently, so we moved here." Seeing that Li Ke was easy-going when asking questions, the boy became bolder.

Li Ke took out a bunch of shackles from his backpack and threw them to the five kneeling men: "Cuff your own hands and feet, don't play tricks, I don't like to listen to explanations, I like to shoot directly."

After those men handcuffed themselves obediently, Li Ke ordered them to find mutant fish on the beach and hand over 300 fish within an hour. They had four hours to collect them, which meant that each person had to complete the task of 1,200 fish. If they failed to do so, they would be killed.

Li Ke kindly reminded them, "You five can work together to complete the task. In short, five people, six thousand items, not one less."

One of the men looked around and said with a sad face: "We don't have anything to hold the fish, how can we complete the mission?"

The boy spoke up again: "You can dig a big hole on the beach, lead some water in, and then throw the fish in first."

After hearing this, the man looked up and asked Li Ke: "Is it okay?"

Li Ke nodded: "Start the countdown in ten minutes."

The men didn't dare to say anything else. They took a few small shovels from the crowd next to them and started digging the hole.

Looking at the group of people who were still cowering in front of him, Li Ke said to them, "You guys should go catch some fish, one hundred fish can be exchanged for five biscuits, compressed biscuits."

When these people heard this, they all raised their heads, and several voices asked, "Really?"

Li Ke took out a pack of biscuits from his backpack and said, "Put the things in your bucket together and put them aside. I don't like that. I only want the fish. Of course, you can leave if you don't want to. No one is watching you now. You can go wherever you want. You have to find a way to get rid of the chains yourself."

No one left. Someone whispered, "You can't run away. We have nowhere else to go. If we run from here, we might get caught by someone else."

Some people have spontaneously stood up and started to gather the sea worms in the buckets together, and then carried the buckets to find the fish that Li Ke wanted.

A small voice suddenly popped up: "Can I have a cookie first? We have only eaten a little earthworm paste in the past two days. We are very hungry."

Li Ke looked over and saw a younger child, it was hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl. The voice was a little hoarse and the hair was very short, some parts were long and some parts were short, it was obvious that it was cut haphazardly.

Li Ke thought for a moment, then took out two large bottles of water, a total of four liters, and two packs of biscuits from his backpack and placed them next to him: "Everyone can eat a biscuit and drink a sip of water before work. Divide these things among yourselves, and don't argue. Otherwise, whoever makes trouble will be killed by me."

These people looked at the biscuits and water and were a little afraid to touch them. Li Ke took the initiative to open the packaging and the lid of the water bottle, and pointed at the child who said he was hungry at the beginning and said, "You go first. You have to go to work after you finish eating."

The child was immediately pushed forward by the woman next to him. He turned his head to look at the woman behind him, and after seeing her nod, he walked towards Li Ke.

The rest of the people began to line up slowly behind the children. They pushed the children to the front consciously. The children who had finished eating the biscuits immediately carried buckets together to look for fish. They couldn't wait to exchange for some more biscuits.

The boy who talked the most asked curiously while eating the biscuits: "Why do you need so many fish? How can you take them away? These fish don't have much meat, and they are poisonous. They can't be eaten."

Li Ke looked at him coldly: "I didn't ask you a question, so just shut up. If you say anything more, I will kill you anyway."

The boy was frightened by Li Ke's cruelty and dared not make a sound. After carefully drinking a sip of water, he ran away.

Li Ke saw that one of the men ran far away, so he shot him directly. The bullet grazed the man's ear, and he retreated immediately in fear.

Two hours passed by unknowingly, and Li Ke still hadn't waited for the companions of these men. When they came over to hand in their tasks, Li Ke asked them a few questions, but they couldn't explain anything, so Li Ke asked them to go back to work.

There are now five large pits near her, three of which were dug by the women working together. There was no high tide at night, so Li Ke took out a headlamp from her backpack and placed it on the beach to help them light up.

There were already a large number of mutant fish on the beach, and some were hiding in the mud. These people soon found out where it was easier to catch them. They were also attracted by Li Ke's biscuits, so they were very motivated and couldn't stop picking up fish.

When the boy came over to hand in the task, he looked up at Li Ke several times. Seeing that he had collected another hundred, Li Ke took out five biscuits and gave them to him. The boy took the biscuits but still didn't leave.

Li Ke understood his eager look and asked him, "What do you want to say?"

The boy then spoke and asked carefully: "Can you help us? There are many sisters in the base who can help you catch fish. You are so powerful and you have a gun. Please save us. All of us can let you be the leader. In the future, we will do whatever you ask us to do. As long as we have biscuits to eat, we are willing to catch as many fish as we want."

Li Ke asked, "Everyone? Can you represent all of them? How old are you? What's your name?"

The little boy nodded quickly and said, "Yes, they all think so. I am fifteen years old. My name is Qiu Ling. In two years, I can be your wife."

Li Ke was stunned: "You are a girl? Are you really fifteen years old?"

Qiu Ling replied confidently: "I am a girl, I am really fifteen years old, I can prove it to you now."

After saying that, Qiu Ling was about to take off her clothes, but Li Ke quickly asked her to stop: "Don't take them off, I believe you. Tell me about your base. I will know whether I can help you or not after I understand it."

There were also people who came to hand in their tasks. They deliberately slowed down their movements and listened to the conversation between Li Ke and Qiu Ling. One of the women heard that Li Ke was trying to make peace with himself, so she rushed to Li Ke and knelt down. "Brother, please save us. Those people are not human. My daughter is only thirteen years old. She has been captured by them for two months. Now I don’t know whether she is dead or alive. I have lived until now just to see my daughter again, otherwise I will die with regrets!"

Li Ke leaned back slightly, then immediately came to his senses and said coldly, "Shut up! I don't like to hear people crying. Go get some people to bring those five men over to kneel, and then calmly tell me what's going on."

Qiu Ling immediately took the order: "I'll go, I'll bring people to bring them over."

The woman kneeling in front of Li Ke covered her mouth after hearing Li Ke's scolding, trying to stop her crying. Another woman from the imperial side half-knelt beside her and began to introduce the situation of their base to Li Ke.

The name of the base is Tianhe Base. There are three leaders: the eldest leader Wang Tan, the second leader Zhan Xiong, and the third leader Wang Hu. Wang Tan and Wang Hu are brothers.

The three bosses all had guns in their hands. They were originally two forces. Later, Wang Tan and Wang Hu's people captured a friend of Zhan Xiong. The two sides became acquainted with each other through fighting. After getting to know each other, they simply formed a force and started to occupy territory and do evil.

Anyone who enters their territory, whether male or female, will be arrested. Men will work as laborers under them, and if they perform well, they can join them.

Good-looking women were bullied by them in various ways. Those who were ugly, sick or old were forced to work outside. If they died, their bodies were taken out to be fed to dogs. They also raised five big wolfhounds to guard the gate.

The most shameful thing is that they don't even let go of the children, they catch both boys and girls, but no one knows where the children went after being separated from their parents. As parents, they can only hold on to an unknown hope and wait for news about their children.
