Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 789: Lian Jiyue Captured
Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Lian Jiyue Captured
In the base in city B, Han Wan burst into Han Yue’s office with fury and loudly demanded, “Lian Jiyue has already been captured by you? Why didn’t anyone notify me?!”
She had just found out that Lian Jiyue had entered the base in city B two days ago and was captured that evening by people sent by Han Yue, yet no one informed her even though it was clearly her plan!
“Aunt, what’s the rush? Lian Jiyue is still of use to us. If he ends up in your hands, what do you plan to do, send him and his son to their deaths immediately?”
Han Yue said with a smirk.
Han Wan choked up; indeed, that was her intention, but before that, she planned to severely torture the mother and son pair, especially Lian Jiyue. For some reason, she had begun to detest him deeply.
“But you still should have told me. So where is Lian Jiyue now? And Luo Yan, that little bitch too? Are we not avenging Yizhou?”
Han Wan asked, concerned. She would not have known that Lian Jiyue had arrived if she hadn’t discovered that Luo Yan had already been taken away.
“He’s in a place where no one can find him. Aunt, you better keep quiet until our plan is complete. Once we succeed, you’ll be able to do whatever you want with the two of them,”
Han Yue replied.
They were still waiting, waiting for Luo Zijian and his group’s response. Lian Jiyue’s arrival at the city B base was a complete and unexpected delight for them. If Luo Zijian’s group could pull in the Heart Talk Team, great. If not, they still had Lian Jiyue to test.
Meanwhile, the other group should have already arrived in city S.
“Han Yue, tell me where they are now. I promise I won’t lay a hand on them,”
Han Wan pleaded softly and sweetly, seeing Han Yue’s firm tone.
“Alright, aunt, they are not having an easy time. Just relax, as father said, this matter mustn’t be mentioned to anyone again,”
Han Yue shared, apparently recalling something very amusing.
He would never forget the expression on Lian Jiyue’s face when he saw the deranged Luo Yan, who actually started stripping again right in front of Lian Jiyue. If not for the presence of Han Zhimin, he wouldn’t have had her stopped.
But by then, Lian Jiyue was already furious to the extreme, and it took two doses of anesthetic to subdue him.
“Really? The mother in front of her son? Hahaha,”
Han Wan responded, clearly in a much better mood, and no longer insisted on seeing the mother and son.
“Exactly, aunt. Sometimes torturing each other is the greatest torture, isn’t it?”
Han Yue soothed. Lian Jiyue’s body was connected to an anesthetic tube, and the daily injections had already left him utterly powerless. Now, they just needed to quietly wait for news.
Seeing that Han Wan finally left, Han Yue had Wang Liang tightly close the office door, “If she comes again, just say I’m not here.”
“Yes, Young Master Han,”
Wang Liang answered respectfully.
…
Gao Zhenzhen and others noticed that in the past few days, Han Zhimin’s visits for healing had decreased significantly, and his temper was not as volatile as before, which allowed many healers to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
“That old man would do everyone a favor by dying; he’s just wasting resources while he’s alive,”
Gao Zhenzhen muttered as she threw the clothes she had received back onto the bed.
However, although there were people in the dorm, no one paid any more attention to her, not even her former follower, Gu Feng, who just stared blankly out the window. Luo Shilian even scoffed before lying back down.
This was an eight-person dormitory; apart from Gao Zhenzhen and her group, a few other healers also lived here.
Meanwhile, several women on other beds began to quietly converse.
“Hey, have you heard? Below our building, they’ve locked up a mad Healing Element Ability User and a Metal Element man,”
Zhao Jia, from the bed next to Zhenzhen, whispered.
“I’ve heard, I’ve heard. I even saw them being brought in through the window, but why are they held beneath our building? It’s too terrifying,”
Chen Yingjie, below Zhao Jia’s bunk, responded.
“I don’t know. Didn’t they use to lock people up in the research institutes?”
Huang Rui murmured by the window.
However, this matter had nothing to do with them. Several healers, tired from the day’s work, chatted until they gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Zhenzhen increasingly found this place terrifying. While treating patients, she had also heard a lot. The several buildings connected next to theirs were all laboratories, seemingly conducting various experiments.
The day before, a patient had been carried into her Healing room. The patient had wounds of varying degrees across their body. She could tell those wounds were clearly from deliberate cuts, and they even had stitches, but since someone was always watching, she only dared to heal and dared not ask anything.
The despair and numbness in the patient’s eyes were still chilling to her even now.
She wondered if Zhao Jia and the other healers, having seen these horrific things so often, had become utterly submissive to the management, like a group of obedient sheep led to the slaughter, with no one daring to resist nor wishing to…
If only there were a chance, if there were a chance, she would definitely escape from this dreadful place, never to return…
At that time, in a basement below where Zhenzhen was,
a man’s hands and feet were tied up, his back against a wooden frame that held his body in place. A clear plastic tube was connected to the upper arm on his right, containing some transparent liquid, his head and hands hanging limply, making it difficult to see his expression at that moment.
Next to him, a mad woman in a padded jacket sat on the ground, singing an unknown song, her gaze lifelessly fixed outside the cage.
Outside the cage, two passing guards chuckled and moved on, as it was almost time for their shift to change.
The mad woman at some point crawled to the man’s feet, leaning against them, her throat still humming disorganized tunes, her once slender hands placed behind the man’s calves.
“It’s no use, don’t waste your effort,”
the man said in a hoarse whisper.
The mad woman was using Healing Art to treat him.
“I, I’m sorry, I, shouldn’t be alive,”
the mad woman leaned against the man’s feet, quietly shedding tears.
Why should she be alive?
That’s right, she remembered. She wanted to see him again and for her child.
“Why didn’t you take me with you back then?”
Lian Jiyue asked.
“I wanted to, but I couldn’t come back,”
Luo Yan’s gaze regained clarity, she wanted to, she even wanted to find a place to properly raise her child, and ultimately return triumphantly to prove she wasn’t just some mistress, but she had been sold off to a place she had never heard of.
