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

The young man did not lower his voice deliberately. In addition to his men, Yiqing also heard what he said.

When she heard the word "superpower", her heart skipped a beat.

"Yes! How could I have forgotten that it is the end of the world now. Fists are no longer a symbol of strength. The most important thing is to rely on supernatural powers!"

"We stay here every day and don't have to go out to kill zombies. We haven't encountered any invaders yet, so we don't have any chance to take action. In addition, this ability has only been acquired for a short time, and we haven't been given the opportunity to use it, so naturally we don't remember it."

"In order to make it easier to capture people, Doctor Ji specifically ordered that we only capture those ordinary people who have not awakened their superpowers, or those who have awakened their superpowers but do not have much offensive power. Although this woman has some martial arts skills, she is definitely no match for us in terms of superpowers."

"hey-hey……"

They looked at each other, and their originally depressed expressions suddenly brightened up.

The young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

In fact, he forgot about his superpowers at first and almost let someone escape. Fortunately, he remembered it in time at the critical moment.

He let out a long breath, then raised his eyes, his face regaining its original casual confidence, "I'll give you one more chance. As long as you're willing to go back obediently, I can forget what happened today and let bygones be bygones. You don't want to experience the feeling of being attacked by all kinds of superpowers, do you?"

For him, it was enough to keep the person today, but if conditions permitted, he still wanted a complete and healthy experimental subject.

The experimental subjects that have been punished by superpowers may become more obedient, but they may also have flaws.

"Don't you know that villains die because they talk too much?" A cold female voice suddenly sounded, almost whispering in his ear.

The young man felt a chill on his back, and just as he was about to react, the cold blade touched his neck.

"When did you get close?"

"You should have seen how fast I am just now, right? You reminded me that there are still superpowers in this world, but you were so stupid as not to let them take action immediately, and you took your time to say those nonsense to me." Yiqing imitated him and laughed softly, "You don't think that everything is under your control, do you? Then you are really conceited!"

"But it is also thanks to your self-confidence that I was able to get a glimmer of hope." Yiqing praised him generously.

The young man's face immediately turned gloomy. "If you kill me, you will die immediately." He almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

"Don't worry, I'm not that bloodthirsty. As long as you let us go, your life will be saved."

"Are you threatening me?"

Yiqing raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it obvious?"

The young man's breathing became heavier, and he was obviously suppressing his anger. "Do you think you are the only one with a hostage? Why don't you turn around and take a look?"

Yiqing didn't look back, but forced him to change the direction of his standing with her.

Then he saw that a knife was pressed against Zong Ming's neck.

"Let me go, or I'll have him killed right away."

Yiqing withdrew her gaze calmly, "Okay, then you have to die too."

Young man: "But I can guarantee that he will die before me!"

The air was quiet for a moment, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The young man knew clearly that what they were actually fighting was a psychological warfare.

He didn't want to die, and he hated being controlled by others, so he had to gamble on the position of this man in Yiqing's heart - gamble that she would not dare to risk her man's life, and gamble that she would take the initiative to compromise.

After an unknown amount of time, Yiqing spoke again, "Everyone has their own destiny. If he is destined to die today, then there is nothing I can do."

Seeing her nonchalant expression, the young man widened his eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zong Ming's low laugh, "You can't threaten her with me. To her, I'm just a stranger."

Where no one else could see, Zong Ming was digging his palms tightly with his fingernails.

Obviously this was the truth, but he didn't understand why he felt bitter.

"Humph, you think I would believe you? Don't lie, I already knew you two were a couple."

Yiqing was puzzled, "What kind of couple are we?"

The young man was being held hostage and could not see the expression on Yiqing's face, but he could hear the confusion and doubt in her tone. She really didn't want to pretend to have such emotions.

The young man doubted himself for a moment, but then he was sure that his judgment would not be wrong.

"Pretend! Keep pretending! This woman clearly had a chance to escape, but she chose to stay and fight with the tiger. If she wasn't doing this for her lover, could she be doing this for those strangers?"

Yiqing: “…” You may not believe it, but I really wanted to challenge myself and rescue everyone.

She had thought it through. She would save as many people as possible. If her ability was limited, she would try to save Zong Ming first.

On the one hand, I couldn't bear to see him repeat the same fate as in his previous life. On the other hand, he also contributed a lot to my being able to escape here today, so I wanted to repay him for his kindness.

Of course, if anything really went wrong, she would definitely run away first.

"As for the man, I promised that as long as he worked hard for me and helped me restore the program, I would not send him to the operating table as a test subject. But he was so good that he would rather suffer physical pain, or even commit suicide, than betray you. Tsk, this is really a touching friendship."

Hearing this, Yiqing looked at Zong Ming in surprise.

She was concentrating on dealing with the tiger before and didn't pay attention to other things, so she didn't know about this.

She didn't expect that Zong Ming, who looked unreliable, could be so tough at the critical moment.

If it wasn't the wrong timing, she really wanted to praise the other person.

But when Zong Ming met her gaze, he lowered his head.

He looked like he was embarrassed.

In fact, he felt guilty.

The young man had previously promised to save his life. Was he really not tempted?

Survival is human instinct, so of course he was tempted.

However, he and Xu Nian modified and destroyed the program together. Only Xu Nian knew some of the data and operating methods. He knew very well that he alone would not be able to repair it in a short time.

The young man extended an olive branch to him because he recognized his ability, but once he found out that his ability was not as strong as he thought, would he really not change his mind and put himself on the operating table again? Of course he would.

Zong Ming knew very well that the reason he refused so firmly at that time was because he had no other choice.

Although it was impossible for others to know these psychological activities, when this matter was brought up, he still didn't dare to look Yiqing in the eye.

"You two are willing to risk your lives for each other, and you still dare to call yourself strangers? Do you think I'm blind or stupid?!"

Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "Well, you are not a fool, nor a blind man, you are just a self-righteous idiot."

"you--"

It doesn’t matter what the relationship between the two people is, so Yiqing is too lazy to argue with him.

She pressed the knife a little harder and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to let us go or not?"

"he……"

Seeing that the young man was about to mention Zong Ming again, Yiqing directly cut a little of his skin with the knife, "If you can't make a decision, we'll die together!"

In this psychological warfare of mutual leverage, the only way to determine the winner is to see who is more ruthless.

Even though the young man still believed that Yiqing was reluctant to let Zong Ming die, he did not dare to gamble with his own life.

If the experimental subject is lost, you can find it again.

Now that such a unique experimental subject is gone, it’s not that we can’t make do with a more ordinary one.

But if his life is gone, it's really gone.

"Stop! Stop pushing so hard and I'll let you go."

"It would have been nice if you had been so forthcoming earlier."

Under the pressure from Yiqing, the young man signaled his men to release Zong Ming and make way for them.

Yiqing shook her head, "This sincerity is not enough."

"what?"

"Release the others as well."

"Don't push yourself too far!"

Yiqing knew that if she gave in once, she would definitely give in a second time, and she liked to push for more. "I just ask you if you will give in. I will count to three."

"one--"

"two--"

Feeling that the hand against him was trying harder again, the young man tightly closed his eyes and said, "Let it go! Let it go!"

……

Yiqing held the young man hostage and slowly moved to the door with a group of people.
