When Qiu Ling saw Zhan Xiong rushing towards her, she fired several shots in panic. Zhan Xiong fell in front of her with his eyes open.
Li Ke put his gun back to his waist and looked at Qiu Ling standing there shaking. She didn't say anything. It was normal. She would stop shaking if she killed a few more scums and trash. She had also gone through this herself.
Qiu Ling paused for a moment, then angrily kicked Zhan Xiong, who was lying on the ground and already dead. However, the trembling in her body had not completely subsided, and her kicks did not actually have much strength.
"It's too easy for him to die so quickly. I just want to torture him slowly! Bad guy, all bad guys. I'm so angry!"
Li Ke looked at Qiu Ling, who was cursing, kicking and venting her anger while she was crying. When she stopped, Li Ke said, "It's over. You are very strong..."
Li Ke didn't know what to say except this one sentence. She was not good at comforting others.
Qiu Ling wiped her face and said to Li Ke, "Let's go open the manhole cover in the dungeon. Brother Zhou is a very good person. I think he looks a bit like you. I wonder if he is still there."
Li Ke looked around the hall and realized that she was no longer needed here. Seeing Qiu Ling's expectant eyes, Li Ke nodded.
Qiu Ling took Li Ke to an operation room, where two men with bruised faces and noses were tied up. Qiu Ling explained to Li Ke, "These two men are tough workers here. Our anklets are all made by them. They were also captured. Although they didn't do anything serious, they are accomplices. However, the sisters thought that they might still be useful, so they didn't kill them yet."
Qiu Ling untied them, pointed a gun at them, asked them to weld anklets on themselves, and then asked them to take tools to the dungeon to unlock it.
Li Ke originally thought that there was some difficult-to-open internal key on the dungeon lid, but when she saw the big yellow copper lock hanging on it, she knew she was overthinking.
She could open the lock with her own key, but Qiu Ling had already asked the two men to open the lock. The two men first tried using pliers but failed. They then used a saw but it still didn't work. Finally, they used a simple hammer to break the lock open.
There was rust on the latch of the manhole cover, and it took some effort to push the latch open and lift the lid.
Qiu Ling shouted at the wellhead: "Brother Zhou, are you still alive? Zhou Heng - Brother Zhou -!"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment when she heard the name. She also came to the well and looked down. There seemed to be water below, and there was an iron frame that could be climbed beside the well.
"What does this Zhou Heng look like?" Li Ke asked Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling sat by the well, thinking as she replied, "Tall and thin, relatively white, rarely smiles, and a bit handsome when you get used to his serious look, looking cool."
Li Ke said "Oh", that was not the same person. The Zhou Heng she knew looked like this, but he was not handsome or cool, only had money.
Suddenly there was a 'dong dong dong' sound from below. Li Ke and Qiu Ling both heard it. Li Ke said to the people below, "If you are still alive, knock twice more and we will try to rescue you."
There were two thumps from below, and Qiu Ling immediately said happily: "The person is still alive!"
She shouted down below: "Brother Zhou, are you all still alive?"
There was no response from below. Qiu Ling looked at Li Ke, and Li Ke asked, "How many people are alive below? Just knock a few times to respond."
After a while, a "bang" was heard from below.
Li Ke looked at Qiu Ling's sad expression and asked, "How many people are detained down there?"
Qiu Ling: "There are eight people. I don't know if anyone was imprisoned down there before, and I don't know who is alive down there now. Big brother, how can we save them? I don't dare to go down there, and I don't want you to go down there either, but I'm also worried about letting others go down there."
Li Ke took out two bundles of safety ropes from his backpack, made a noose, and then threw it into the well. When the rope was still three meters long, he asked below: "Can you see the rope? If you can, knock once. If not, knock twice. If you can grab the rope and put it on, knock three times."
After waiting for three seconds, there was a sound from below. Li Ke connected the two ropes, made sure they were strong, and sent them down again. He threw them more than three meters down, and three "dong" sounds came from below, indicating that the rope was pulled.
Li Ke estimated that the depth was about thirty-five or thirty-six meters, but when she looked down, she could only see part of her hand, and it felt like there was space below.
The two tough guys next to Qiu Ling came over to pull the people back. If they dared to slack off, they would be kicked down as well.
Fifteen minutes later, a thin and pale man was pulled up. As soon as his face appeared above the surface of the well, Li Ke confirmed that this man was indeed Zhou Heng, whom she knew.
One of his legs was twisted and completely disabled. He had been locked up down there for more than two months, but his body wasn't too dirty and his clothes only looked damp, not very wet. I wonder if there was another world down there where he could stay well.
Qiu Ling's expression was filled with some joy again. The person who came up was the one she most hoped was alive, so it was a happy thing.
"Brother Zhou, it was this big brother who saved us. Wang Tan, Wang Hu, and Zhan Xiong are all dead. We won't be bullied anymore."
Zhou Heng was still sitting on the ground with one hand covering his eyes. It was a little bright outside, and it made his eyes hurt.
Qiu Ling asked again: "Brother Zhou, where are the others? Are they all gone?"
There was still no response. Just when Qiu Ling thought there would be no answer, Zhou Heng suddenly shrugged his shoulders and replied slowly without any warmth: "I killed them all."
After saying that, Zhou Heng fell silent again, still maintaining the same action as before.
Qiu Ling's eyes widened, but she tactfully did not ask any more questions. She took a half step back, but then felt it was inappropriate. After a while, she carefully said, "It's okay. I killed someone, too. I killed Zhan Xiong. There were others, too. They also taught that bad guy a lesson. I don't know if they were all killed?"
Zhou Heng did not give any further response. Li Ke asked one of the tough workers to carry the man on his back and find a room to put him down. Judging from Zhou Heng's expression, what happened next was probably something he never wanted to mention again in his life.
"Is there a doctor here?" Li Ke asked Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling didn't know that when people here got sick, they were thrown into the patient ward and left to fend for themselves, with no one taking care of them.
"I'll go ask." Qiu Ling felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Zhou Heng's cold expression.
Fifteen minutes later, Qiu Ling really brought back a group of people. There were two women among them. One knew some medical skills and the other had worked as a nurse. There were no real doctors.
This group of people came over to ask Qiu Ling to open the warehouse and take out some food to distribute. The bad guys were either dead or injured, and the living ones were all locked up by them.
Qiu Ling gave the warehouse key to an elder sister who often took care of her. Li Ke recognized that this woman was the one who hugged Qiu Ling on the beach. At that time, she thought they were relatives.
"Those children were sold by them and are no longer in this base, but we didn't get much information about the buyers. These transactions were handled personally by Wang Hu and his men. But there are only two bases closest to us. Those people said that these two bases have done business with Wang Hu, so it is difficult to determine which base the children are in now?" Qiu Ling came to Li Ke and said.
Li Ke glanced at Qiu Ling and said, "I will leave tonight. What you do next is up to you."
Qiu Ling lowered her head and said nothing.
There was another commotion nearby. Qiu Ling walked over and separated the crowd. The door of the warehouse was already open. There were a lot of supplies piled up inside, all of which were food and drinks.
But at this time, a few people stopped in front and asked everyone to line up and distribute the items later.
Soon after, another group of women and children came out of the warehouse. Some of the women were pregnant, some were holding babies in their arms, and they were all wearing ill-fitting clothes, but overall they were much cleaner than the others Li Ke had seen.
These women and children were all good-looking. When Li Ke was about to look away, his eyes were attracted by another face.
It is true that life is full of encounters. The person who was supposed to appear eight years later actually met him earlier. Li Ke narrowed his eyes and put his right hand on the pistol at his waist.
