The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Yiqing stopped the woman's actions again.

Facing the puzzled look, she explained softly: "No one likes disobedient prey. If you don't have enough self-protection ability, I don't recommend you to anger the people outside."

In the original owner's memory, knocking on this door and shouting hysterically would only result in beatings.

The woman burst into tears, "But I don't want to be here..."

"I don't want to, and no one else would." Yiqing's tone remained calm, "But if knocking on the door worked, they wouldn't stay here."

The woman followed her gaze and saw the other people in the room.

She suddenly lost her temper, and her raised hand fell limply to her side.

She took a few steps back and suddenly sat down on the ground, her face already wet with tears. "Are we just going to accept our fate? Just so easily, without doing anything, just accept our fate?"

Yiqing shook his head slightly, and under the stunned gaze of the woman, he slowly said: "It's not about accepting your fate, it's about trying to protect yourself before you have the ability to resist or escape."

"Do you have any idea?"

“Not yet, but there will be a time.”

Yiqing's tone remained flat.

Even judging from her appearance, she was much younger than herself, but the woman somehow gained some strength from her words, and her originally panicked and helpless heart actually became a little calmer.

"Then find a solution quickly, please!"

"it is good."

After temporarily calming the woman, Yiqing found a place to sit against the wall and began to think of countermeasures.

Soon, a plan took shape in her mind...

The next day, the door was pushed open with force, making a loud "bang" sound, which scared everyone inside.

There were three people standing at the door, led by a middle-aged man with a full beard.

He just stood there, scanning the crowd with a gaze as if he was examining the goods. "The physical condition of the experimental subject yesterday was too poor and he has died. We have to find a new experimental subject. Let me see who I should find..."

He spoke of the passing of a life in such a nonchalant tone, which should have made people angry, but everyone present understood that "we are the fish on the chopping board", and they dared not do anything except to shrink their bodies even more.

The woman yesterday also understood from these few words that she was not abducted into the mountains, but this fatal experiment told her that even if she fell into the dragon's den, she had also entered the tiger's den.

She quietly turned her gaze to Yiqing, hoping that he would give some reassuring signals like he did yesterday. However, she stared at him for a long time and did not see Yiqing turn his head to look at her. She subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, trying to restrain her inner panic and uneasiness.

The bearded man looked around and suddenly pointed at a skinny guy, "You!"

The young man might have been mentally prepared, and he didn't react at this moment. He just walked forward silently from the corner.

Although the others had dull eyes and an air of dead silence and resignation, it was obvious that they were not chosen, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The bearded man looked at the young man standing in front of him and was very satisfied with his tact.

He was about to leave with his men, but when he caught a glimpse of the others who looked like they had survived a disaster, a surge of malice suddenly welled up in his heart.

He pretended to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and sighed twice, "The mortality rate of the experiment is too high, and the efficiency is too low to do it one at a time. How about this, from today on, we will do it in pairs. One has already been chosen here, so let's do another one."

He held out his hand again, making a selection gesture.

The despair in the eyes of the people in the room became more obvious.

Yiqing also frowned slightly.

Things seem to be getting a little different.

In the original owner's memory, the number of people sent to the experimental table will indeed increase later, but not today, it should be a few days later.

She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, so she could only wait and see.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more depressing and terrifying.

"It's you." In just a few seconds, the bearded man made his choice.

The person chosen this time was the woman who was captured with Yiqing yesterday.

She was originally crouching and pretending to be calm, but when she saw the hand pointing at her, she shrank and screamed, "Don't choose me! Please, I don't want to die yet! Please let me go, I can give you money... No, I can give you food. My husband is a fourth-level gold-type mutant. We have hidden a lot of food. As long as you let me go, I will ask him to send a lot of food over."

The bearded man admired her frightened look for a while, then suddenly slapped her, "Shut up!"

How could they possibly let go of someone they had captured with so much difficulty?

Even though food is scarce in the apocalypse, for them, experimental subjects are the most scarce thing.

The woman was stunned for a moment, but still wanted to scream.

The bearded man was not polite at all and slapped him a few more times.

The woman finally behaved herself, but she hadn't accepted her fate yet. She suddenly rushed towards Yiqing, knelt down and hugged her feet, "Help me, you said you would find a way, I don't want to die..."

Yiqing didn't expect her to do such a thing, and his heart skipped a beat.

Before she could react, the woman's random shouting had successfully attracted the bearded man's attention to Yiqing.

"Newcomers? Are you two new here?" He stared at her for a while and suddenly smiled. However, his face looked much scarier when he smiled than when he didn't. "What did you promise her? You want to escape, right?" He said this while looking at Yiqing.

But the woman knew that at this moment, as long as she gave an affirmative answer, the fire would burn the young girl, and maybe she would even die first instead of her.

There was a trace of struggle in her eyes.

But in the end, she gritted her teeth and chose not to say anything more.

In fact, she never thought of implicating Yiqing.

However, when facing a crisis, the instinct for survival always easily overcomes reason. When she pounced just now, she was just subconsciously seeking a glimmer of hope. When the bearded man spoke, her reason returned and she regretted it.

The woman was filled with fear and guilt, and her tears flowed even more happily.

Yiqing looked at her and roughly guessed what was going on.

She must be a little unhappy about this unexpected disaster.

But thinking about yesterday's plan and looking at the thin young man who was selected earlier, she suddenly felt that this was also an opportunity.

"Don't tell?" The bearded man's face sank, and the air pressure in the room suddenly dropped.

At this time, Yiqing spoke up, "I didn't want to escape. I just promised to die before her."

"What did you say?" The bearded man frowned, not knowing for a moment whether he had heard it wrong or if there was a sudden problem with his comprehension ability.

Yiqing didn't repeat herself, but her next words made the bearded man realize that he had heard correctly, "She's so noisy and cries a lot, so don't disturb your experiments. Or you can choose me."

After the words fell, the room fell into silence.

Obviously everyone was stunned by her words.

——Especially the bearded man and others.

Since the establishment of this laboratory, they have seen many people begging for mercy in various ways in order to survive, but this is the first time they have seen someone actively seeking death.

The bearded man stared at her for a long while, then suddenly smiled, "I hope you can remain calm when you get on the lab table, but don't cry and beg for mercy."

He licked the corner of his mouth, his dark eyes filled with anticipation for the show that was about to begin.

Yiqing said nothing, but just walked forward.

There was a slight resistance behind her, as if someone had grabbed the corner of her clothes, but Yiqing's steps did not stop because of it, and the resistance soon disappeared.

……

"I hope you two can live longer." The bearded man stood at the door of the laboratory, casually pressed a few passwords, then turned his head and gave them a wicked smile.

The thin young man remained silent and seemed to have little presence.

Yiqing remained calm, "It will be as you wish."

The bearded man pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's see how long you can keep pretending."

The door of the laboratory opened, he took two steps to the side, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed forward...

The thin young man staggered forward two steps due to the push from his left hand, then stretched out his hands to struggle, trying to steady his body several times. Unfortunately, the period of imprisonment and the life of hunger and satiety caused his physical fitness to decline greatly, and finally he fell to the ground with a "bang".

The bearded man didn't look at him, but when he saw his right hand miss, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at the girl who had walked forward consciously, and he said "tsk" in dissatisfaction.
