The sound of footsteps outside made Gu Tongwan immediately cautious. He heard a slight sound of keys shaking, and then saw the door handle being gently turned.

Outside the door was another man who was playing cards downstairs. He was responsible for delivering meals to everyone in each room. The man who opened the door next to him was the psychic who was in the monitoring room before, and the man who brought Gu Tongwan to the room before.

The man who delivered the meal walked in and took a glance at the room. Although the room was very hot, he didn't smell any strange odor. He wondered if this woman didn't need to go to the toilet?

After putting the lunch box in his hand on the only table, he turned around and saw Gu Tongwan, who had been sitting there, looking at him dimly. Her eyes were clear, but there were not many emotional changes. Generally speaking, people whose consciousness is controlled either have cloudy eyes or are very wooden, but this woman's eyes are very clear, which makes the man feel an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

The psychic had been standing to one side. He actually noticed that Gu Tongwan was different from the ordinary people whose consciousness was controlled, but she did not resist. If she was a normal woman who was brought here, she would have either resisted fiercely or huddled in the corner crying in fear.

In short, ever since this building was built, the women who came here have all had some emotional ups and downs. Even Xiaolan, who can now come and go freely in the next room, was so stubborn when she first arrived here that she didn't eat for several days. In the end, she chose to give in after being intimidated and tempted and seeing her current situation clearly.

"Eat your meal and go to bed." The man with superpowers seemed to be talking to Gu Tongwan, but his eyes involuntarily followed her to the camera above his head.

At this moment, in the man's eyes, the camera did not seem to be abnormal, because the blood vine branches had already let go of the entanglement the moment they entered the door, and the red dot in the middle of the camera was flashing normally at this time.

Inside the monitoring room, the man in charge of this job was surprised to find that the surveillance video screen had returned to normal, and he could even clearly see the situation inside the room.

"Is it really a temporary malfunction?" The man couldn't help smacking his lips. He crossed his legs and continued to stare at Gu Tongwan's beautiful and fair face on the screen with almost greedy eyes.

She is really beautiful, the type that becomes more beautiful the more you look at her. No wonder Young Master Zheng sent so many psychics to work together this time. He really spent a lot of money for this beauty.

Moreover, this girl is much prettier than Xiaolan. Usually, Xiaolan relies on being favored by Mr. Zheng to boss them around and never even looks at herself.

But in the final analysis, she is not even Zheng Shao's girlfriend, at most she is a little lover or a canary.

At this time, Gu Tongwan in the room sat down at the table after hearing what the psychic said. She didn't pick up the chopsticks immediately, but she didn't seem to refute his words.

The man with superpowers observed for a while before nodding to the person who brought the food, "Let's go, don't stay too long, if Young Master Zheng finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

The man delivering the food sneered angrily, "What's the big deal? It's just looking at a beautiful woman, and we didn't do anything. Can't we just look at her for a few minutes?"

"You know Zheng Shao's character. He won't let anyone touch the things he likes until he gets tired of them. Even looking at them for a second is not allowed. Don't forget how Chen Laosan lost his little finger. I'm just pointing at you now. If you really want to make the same mistake again, I can't do anything about it."

The man probably remembered the incident last month when Chen Laosan had his fingers chopped off. It was because Chen Laosan had taken a liking to the woman that Zheng Shao had brought back and had favored for a few days. He teased her a few more times at night, and after getting drunk, he couldn't control his mouth. As a result, the rumors somehow reached Zheng Fan's ears, and Zheng Fan forced Kong Fang to deal with Chen Laosan the next day.

Chen Laosan was one of Kong Fang's earliest brothers. Although he was a bit lazy at work, he had followed him for several years after the end of the world. Kong Fang was somewhat sentimental about the old times, but on the other hand he did not want to offend Zheng Fan. After all, if Chen Laosan had not tried to get his hands on Zheng Fan's woman, he would not have gotten himself into trouble.

In the end, in order to set an example, Kong Fang had to have someone cut off Chen Lao's little finger. This would not only teach Chen Lao San a lesson, but also not be considered an explanation to Zheng Fan.

But after that incident, Chen Laosan seemed like a different person. He was no longer as enthusiastic about women, and stayed in his room drinking all day. It seemed that he had contracted some strange disease recently.

The woman who had a relationship with Chen Laosan was thrown into the artificial lake behind the house to feed the fish the next day, and her body was mutilated.

As soon as the two people left, Gu Tongwan's consciousness moved slightly, and he saw the blood vine branches scattered around the camera instantly re-entered.

The man in the monitoring room was watching the video with great interest, but he didn't expect the screen to go black again. And it didn't go black suddenly, but a little black line appeared first, then dense dots, and finally turned into darkness.

Gu Tongwan opened the lunch box only after making sure that the camera was blocked.

The lunch box was not rich. It only had half a piece of mutant animal meat, fried heat-resistant potato cubes next to it, and some pickled meat. The staple food was a fist-sized bowl of rice, but this kind of rice didn't taste good. Gu Tongwan had eaten it before. This kind of rice was developed by the Agricultural Science Institute. The grains were slightly shorter than normal rice and its color was light yellow. The cooked rice had a moldy smell and a slightly rough taste. However, this kind of rice was cheap. Currently, a large area of ​​it was planted on a mountain outside the Agricultural Science Institute's base, barely meeting the needs of the entire base. The wanderer organizations outside would also purchase a certain amount of rice from the base.

However, rich people don't eat this kind of rice. It is said that there are about ten acres of area in the research institute that specializes in growing a better quality rice. Not only is it expensive, but it is also exclusively supplied to the powerful circle. Each kilogram of rice requires at least one hundred points, which is not affordable for a normal family.

I had no appetite for this box lunch in the first place, and the room was indeed too hot.

It was around eight o'clock in the evening that Gu Tongwan took out a sandwich and a cup of milk tea from the space. The chicken bacon sandwich was served with rich salad dressing and cheese slices. It was full of the flavor of the sauce when you took a bite. Coupled with the iced Bobo milk tea, the stuffy air in the room was slightly alleviated.

This room of about ten square meters has only an exhaust fan facing outwards and no other windows. It feels like being in solitary confinement. The incandescent light on the ceiling is surrounded by a circle of tiny black bugs.

After eating, Gu Tongwan lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone to check messages.

Although her cell phone was left in the store when she was taken away, and the group of people checked her with instruments when they brought her in, they only allowed her to enter the building after confirming that she had no electronic products on her.

However, she had bought two mobile phone cards, which she would switch between when she had nothing to do. The mobile phone card in this phone was the number that she had previously used to contact people in the black market and to conduct transactions with various buyers under a hidden identity.

The chat software account of this number even added Chen Yanxi.

Gu Tongwan was lying on the bed. He just logged into the software and switched back to his main account.

As soon as she logged into her main account, she saw the message Liao Yunyun sent in the morning. So she sent a text emoticon package.

Unexpectedly, Liao Yunyun replied almost immediately, and even sent a lot of messages asking if it was him. She kept testing and questioning him until Gu Tongwan told her about an embarrassing incident that happened to them both when they were young. Then Liao Yunyun was silent for half a minute and tried to make a voice call.

It was not convenient for Gu Tongwan to answer the call. After all, he didn't know how soundproof the place was, so he could only cut it off forcibly. Then he sent a photo of the room to Liao Yunyun and briefly explained what happened.

Taking into consideration that there might still be business coming to the store, Liao Yunyun had no choice but to close the door and posted a notice outside, saying that the store would be closed for one day and would resume business as usual tomorrow. The only specific reason could be that the owner suddenly felt unwell, otherwise some customers who were supposed to pick up their air conditioners today might think that the owner had run away.

It was a little stuffy in the store, but after staying there for a while, I felt as if the stuffy air had dissipated a lot.

In fact, Liao Yunyun didn't know that this was the effect of the trace of mental power that Chen Yanxi left in the store. He had already considered the situation in the store, so he left the mental power. Because it belongs to the ice and frost type of ability, the store can maintain the temperature within the acceptable range for the human body to a certain extent.

When Liao Yunyun learned that someone was trying to control her mental power and take her away, she immediately asked anxiously, "Why didn't you call the police right away? The villa area is not far from the security bureau. There are members of the Self-Defense Force nearby. It will only take a few minutes to rush over."

[Gu Tongwan]: This Zheng family doesn't look simple, and the place they live in is the best even in the villa area. And when they go out, they can bring four or five psychics with them, including some B-level psychics. I'm afraid the family has a strong background, and... You should also know that if they really have a background, it will be useless even if the people from the Security Bureau come.

[Liao Yunyun]: You can’t continue to stay there alone. Wouldn’t that be like walking into a tiger’s mouth?

[Gu Tongwan]: It’s hard to say who is the one who fell into the tiger’s mouth. You underestimate me too much.

[Liao Yunyun]: No, are you sure you can handle it by yourself? When I saw Chen Yanxi just now, his face looked very bad. I felt that there was a high possibility that he would do something drastic in the future.

[Gu Tongwan] Did you inform Chen Yanxi?

[Liao Yunyun] He must have realized something was wrong when he found out that there was no one in the store when he went to look for you. He is a psychic and his perception should be very strong. By the way, it seems that he took the dog from your house with him when he left.

[Gu Tongwan] Okay, I got it. I'll contact him later. By the way, please take care of the things in my store for the time being. I should be able to come back normally tomorrow afternoon at the latest, but it won't affect you, right?

[Liao Yunyun] It’s okay. I have a few days of compensatory leave. When the time comes, you can just treat me to a meal when you come back.

[Gu Tongwan] Okay, I’ll give you a surprise then.

【Liao Yunyun】? What a surprise.

[Gu Tongwan] We’ll talk about it when the time comes.

Without contacting Liao Yunyun for the time being, Gu Tongwan directly made a voice call to Chen Yanxi, but unfortunately the call could not be connected.

Could it be that because I added him using a secondary account and he didn’t know my identity, so he didn’t answer the stranger’s number?

Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan bit her lip subconsciously and could only put the phone aside.

Although Chen Yanxi is an S-level mutant, he should not be able to find this place so quickly. The reason why she does not want Chen Yanxi to be involved in this incident is simply because she has already thought of a foolproof plan. Even if it cannot completely destroy the Zheng family, it can at least prevent Zheng Fan from staying in the base in the future.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the whole building seemed to fall into a dead silence. Gu Tongwan was not always on edge, because blood vines branches were growing on the door handles, door gaps and cameras. She was accustomed to groping in the dark for a long time. Thinking of the two years in the empty city, she had almost been attacked by nocturnal mutant beasts in the dark. Therefore, even in the dark, her eyesight was better than that of ordinary people. With the faint light of the mobile phone, she did not feel scared.

I slept for about three or four hours and woke up at 2:30 in the morning. When I opened my phone, I found that Chen Yanxi had replied to several messages from me without me noticing.

[Chen Yanxi] I know where you are. I haven't noticed that you are in danger yet. Your dog doesn't have the ability to run wild.

[Chen Yanxi] If you have any abnormality, I will rush over as soon as possible.

She was stunned when she saw the two messages, then she bit her lip and fell into deep thought. It seemed that Chen Yanxi had probably guessed what she wanted to do, and he could also infer from Aoao's mood that she was not in danger for the time being.

Gu Tongwan heaved a sigh of relief before replying to the other party.

[Gu Tongwan] Well, thank you. Don't worry, I'm not in danger for the time being. If I really need you to help, I won't be polite.

It took less than half a minute for the other party to reply to the message.

[Chen Yanxi] Okay, take care of yourself.

Gu Tongwan suddenly had a smile on her lips. To be honest, she was not a person who liked to fall in love. Although she liked to read novels and watch TV, she didn't know whether it was because of her rebirth, she always kept an indifferent attitude towards love. Even though she understood Chen Yanxi's feelings, she still couldn't respond at the moment, at least not now.

And Chen Yanxi didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if he had made up his mind to wait for her.

As if he had received Chen Yanxi's message, Gu Tongwan's originally slightly impatient mood suddenly calmed down.

At this moment, suddenly there was a "bang bang bang" sound coming from the wall.

At first I thought someone was smashing the wall, but when I listened carefully I heard a woman crying and a man cursing.

Her room was the second to last. The woman named "Xiao Lan" whom she had met this afternoon lived next door. No one knew who lived on the other side.

At this moment, the woman's crying became more intense, and the sound of banging the wall suddenly turned into a more violent sound.
