"They must have been drugged!"
Bai Zhengxuan pulled out a small flashlight, and the tiny beam fell on the table nearby.
At this moment, Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan finally saw the scene inside the room.
Several superpower users were lying haphazardly on the bare concrete floor, without anything covering it.
The environment was harsher than some mysterious brainwashing organizations.
Aside from the newly captured Wang Liu who looked rosy-cheeked, the other survivors appeared gaunt and haggard, having suffered greatly.
A table nearby was piled with bottles and syringes, all filled with sedatives and tranquilizers.
A heap of syringes was also thrown on the ground, and their arms were marked with red needle punctures.
Zombies never feel satiated, no matter how much blood they drink or flesh they devour, they never know satisfaction.
Even with these superpower users, they couldnât satisfy the Zombie Kingâs insatiable appetite.
Bai Zhengxuan and Bai Anhai hurriedly checked Wang Liuâs arms and found no traces of needle marks.
It seemed they had just been captured and hadnât been drained of blood yet.
These superpower users couldnât be woken up; it seemed the Zombie King used a heavy dose to keep them quiet.
No choice but to use unconventional methods to wake them up.
Carrying Wang Liu over the wall would be unrealistic.
"Smack!"
Bai Zhengxuan gave Uncle Wang a firm smack on the back of the head.
Attempting to wake him with force.
It wasnât revenge; his son could prove this in a hundred ways, Bai Zhengxuan is a good person, innocent.
Heâs just trying to save someoneâs life!
"Phewâ"
Uncle Wang continued sleeping sweetly, as if he hadnât slept in days and nights, without any reaction.
Bai Zhengxuan thought for a moment and pinched Uncle Wangâs philtrum hard.
Uncle Wang still didnât wake up.
"Dad, take it easy."
Bai Anhai shook his head slightly.
Heâs seen a lot in court; if saving someone results in harm, it can lead to extortion.
Cough, cough, back in the day, as a victimâs lawyer, he earned quite a bit.
His fatherâs actions could easily be misunderstood as a personal vendetta!
He might want to be Uncle Wangâs attorney!
"Cough, cough, how do we wake them? Should we try stabbing them with needles?"
Bai Zhengxuan instantly thought of a TV drama he once watched with his wife, where a particular grandmother was skilled at stabbing people; he figured he could try it.
The era when stabbing someone isnât illegal has arrived!
"No way!"
Bai Anhai shook his head, his mouth twitching.
The syringes on the ground had been used on countless people; if one of them has a contagious disease, it could be troublesome.
"No other choice then!"
Bai Zhengxuan helplessly shook his head, silently trying violence again to wake Uncle Wang.
"Thud!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Clang!"
Bai Anhai couldnât bear to watch, turned his head away, glanced at the still sleeping Uncle Liu, and silently stretched out his arm.
"Uncle Liu, sorry about this!"
"Bang!"
Bai Anhai smacked Uncle Liu on the back of the head.
"Who? Who hit me?"
Uncle Liu woke up suddenly, staring intently at Bai Anhaiâs raised hand.
...What an awkward situation!
Little did they expect Uncle Liu to wake up so quickly; it seemed Uncle Wangâs deep sleep wasnât the drugâs faultâit was the result of quality sleep!
"Uncle, youâre finally awake! Weâre here to save you!"
Bai Anhai unassumingly put his hand down, revealing an elegant smile.
Refined and genteel lawyer, gracious and courteous.
...A scoundrel in gentlemanâs clothing.
Just then, Uncle Liu paused, glanced around, and realizing they had been captured by the Zombie King.
With this realization, Uncle Liu scratched his head and quickly scrambled up from the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Letâs get out of here!"
Uncle Liu immediately heard the commotion outside the yard, feeling the violent energy fluctuations outside.
The Zombie Kingâs power isnât something ordinary people can contend with; they ended up captured because the Zombie King controlled many zombies to surround and trap them.
Encountering the Zombie King, running is the only option.
"Uncle Wang still hasnât woken up!"
Bai Zhengxuan silently withdrew his hand, looking innocent as he pointed at Uncle Wang.
"Leave this to me, you guys wake the others up, whoever can run, let them run!"
Uncle Liu got up and flexed his wrist nonchalantly, heading towards Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang was the soundest sleeper; even if zombies crawled on the roof in the middle of the night, Uncle Wangâs snoring would remain uninterrupted.
And at this moment, it was time to rely on teammates.
Uncle Liu snored loudly too, but when threatened, he could quickly wake up.
Otherwise, theyâd both have been chased by zombies every day, yelling together!
Seeing Uncle Liuâs stance, Bai Anhai and Bai Zhengxuan silently stepped aside to wake the other peopleâs heads.
"Old Wang, wake up! Itâs mealtime, pork and scallion dumplings, plenty to eat!"
Uncle Liu clamped his arm around Uncle Wangâs neck, thenâshook forcefully.
Uncle Wangâs head inadvertently hit the ground several times.
...No wonder heâs a Gold Ability User, thick-skinned!
Bai Anhai: ...
Bai Zhengxuan: ...
Indeed, they were too gentle earlier.
"Wake up, itâs time to eat!"
Bai Anhai got the essence of Uncle Liuâs methodâwent around pinching the survivorsâ necks.
And surprisingly, this behavior not only had the noble mission of saving people but also was quite liberating.
The most crucial part... was cathartic.
"Cough, cough!"
"Ughâ"
The survivors in the room were awakened one by one, looking bewildered at the strangers in front of them.
During their detention, they were injected with various drugs by Zombie King Li Mucheng; they couldnât use their superpowers, they didnât even have the strength to stand and run out.
Yet, the people before them looked quite vigorous.
The group felt their throats, damn it hurt.
Knowing they were being woken up, otherwise theyâd be mistaken as creditors!
The awakened ones looked silently at the still sleeping superpower users, decisively reaching out to pinch their necks.
"Wake up! Someoneâs come to save us!"
Indeed, pinching othersâ necks was prettyâawesome.
The room instantly became lively, previously confused eyes suddenly shining much brighter.
Eyes scanning the room, looking to see who was still sleeping.
Rescue wasnât a priority right now, just craving the urge to pinch more.
"Old Wang! Enjoy pig knuckle, stinky tofu, roast duck, pig head meat, chicken and mushroom stew, milk powder!"
Uncle Liu shook (pinched) Uncle Wangâs neck vigorously.
"Cough, cough! Where? I can eat more!"
Uncle Wang finally awoke hazily.
Uncle Liu calmly withdrew his hand, tidying up his clothes.
"Weâll eat once weâre out, letâs run now!"
Uncle Liu calmly pulled Uncle Wang up from the ground.
"Ah? Oh!"
Uncle Wang dazedly paused, then realized they were captured by the Zombie King.
"Gurgleâ"
The sound of stomachs growling echoed in the room.
It was those captive superpower users.
Listening to what Uncle Liu just said made their mouths water.
During their captivity, living in constant fear, they could only eat spinach for blood enrichment, starving!
