Chapter 478 Rescue Method
Sixteen people!
Su Xia counted them carefully, not one more, not one less.
He had heard on the mercenaries' radio that there were exactly sixteen members of the South Wind Organization who were captured.
Is it them?
Su Xia was shocked. After searching for so long, the result was finally coming out.
From yesterday evening to this morning, during this long period of time, he has been highly focused, controlling the nanorobots to search around the town, constantly collecting and analyzing various information and intelligence he has heard.
After such a long time, even he felt a little tired.
After all, human energy is limited, and it is impossible to multitask and maintain a high level of concentration all the time.
But, as long as it's those people, it's all worth it.
As long as they were rescued, Su Xia could do whatever he wanted and even start killing people in the town.
"It looks like they've been through a lot of torture."
The appearance of those sixteen people was so miserable that it was simply horrible to look at.
Each of them was covered in dirty blood, and no one knew how many scars there were on their bodies. Some had broken arms, some had broken legs and feet, revealing bloody scarlet bone stumps.
Two of them even had their noses and ears cut off, and were tortured to the point where they were almost unrecognizable.
Just looking at it from a distance is enough to make people feel frightened.
It’s hard to imagine how they got through these days.
“Tick-tock…tick-tock…”
From the top of the cell, water drops also dripped down the rocks and landed in a small broken bowl below, splashing a cold water flower.
There is already half a bowl of water in the bowl, which looks clear and transparent.
At the side, a skinny young man swallowed his saliva. He was covered in blood, his mouth was cracked, and one of his hands was broken and hung limply beside him.
He slowly reached out his hand, and with his other relatively intact hand, he tremblingly picked up the small broken bowl, carefully brought it to his mouth, and then took a sip preciously.
He just wanted to moisten his cracked lips and he couldn't bear to drink any more.
"water……"
His voice was very hoarse, like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert.
He tried his best to steady his slightly trembling hands, and handed the precious broken bowl in his hand to the person next to him with extreme caution, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.
"Water, drink some water..."
Next to him was an older man.
The old man had a white beard and messy hair, his face and clothes were covered in blood. He was the one with the weakest breath among the sixteen people, his old pupils were cloudy, and it seemed as if he would die at any time.
The young man placed the broken bowl next to the old man's mouth, gently lifted the bottom of the bowl, and sent a stream of precious clean water into the old man's mouth.
The old man was weak and struggled to raise his hands, as if trying to stop the young man.
He looked in pain, and he used up all his strength to squeeze out the air in his chest, and finally uttered a sentence: "I... I'm old... You, you drink first..."
The old man seemed to know that he would not live long and wanted to leave the hope of life to the young people.
The young man looked sad, shook his head, and insisted on giving the old man more water, unwilling to give up on him.
Then he passed the broken bowl to the next person.
It's just half a bowl of water, but it has to be distributed among sixteen people. It's really too difficult.
Among the crowd, some were in good physical condition, and no matter how eager they were, they simply took a sip and then handed the broken bowl to another person.
By the time the last person came, there was still nearly one third of water in the bowl.
At this time, several mercenaries in charge of guarding came over.
Looking at the situation in the cell, several mercenaries had playful expressions on their faces, as if they were watching a play.
"Tsk tsk, don't you like drinking water? Is this enough?" One of them grinned and made a disgusting smile.
"It's not that they don't like drinking water, it's just that there's only half a bowl, it's not enough even if they want to drink!" Another mercenary laughed.
"Really?" The third mercenary pretended to be confused.
"If you want some water, just tell us. We have plenty of water here." The fourth mercenary spoke.
"Yes, Grandpa, I have been holding my pee since 1am. If you just ask, I will definitely reward you!"
Several mercenaries laughed at the same time, and their laughter was extremely wanton.
Inside the cell, none of the sixteen people spoke. They leaned against each other in silence, as if they had not heard the voices of the guards outside at all.
This attitude made several guards feel uncomfortable.
One of them picked his ears and shouted, "Why don't you speak? Are you mute? Is your throat hoarse? Do you want me to heal you?"
"If you don't speak anymore, believe it or not, I will cut your vocal cords?" another person threatened.
"I really don't like that old guy. Let's cut his vocal cords first!" suggested the third mercenary.
"Okay! Okay, that's what we should do!"
The fourth mercenary clapped his hands and smiled playfully.
They are the butchers, and the dozen or so people in the cell are the fish. The difference in status allows them to be so presumptuous.
Finally, the skinny young man couldn't bear it anymore and growled, "If we were out there in the wilderness, would you dare to talk to me like this?"
"Hey! Young man with some guts!" The leading guard smiled so much that his eyes were almost cracked from laughter.
"That's right, just talk and keep us company!" another guard also said with a smile.
"Let me out if you dare!"
The young man's face was filled with anger and was distorted so much that a lot of the blood scabs from the dry and hard liver on his face fell off.
He suppressed his voice and roared: "If you let me out, I can beat all of you by myself!"
"Tsk tsk, one person beats all of us?"
Hearing this, several mercenaries looked at each other and burst into laughter again, as if they had heard some extremely funny joke.
One of the young man's hands was broken, and the other was trembling. He was so weak that he could hardly stand, let alone fight.
"Alas, young people just have bad tempers. They will fight if they disagree with something." The leading mercenary shook his head, as if he were the young man's elder, with a look of disappointment in his son, and his expression was very lifelike.
The second guard sighed and said, "Tsk, when I was young, I was also this young, right?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" The leading mercenary slapped him on the forehead.
"That guy in there is quite interesting. How about getting him out and letting us practice with him?" suggested the third guard.
"Let's not do that. He's so small, I'm afraid I could kill him with one punch."
The mercenaries in charge of guarding were all strong, with tight muscles and fists as big as sandbags.
If a fight really came to pass, given the young man's current condition, he could indeed be killed with one punch.
But the young man didn't seem to care about his physical condition at all. He just shouted, "Let me out! If you want to fight, do it quickly. Why are you dithering? Don't you have any guts?"
"Hey! Does this kid really want to die?" The third guard immediately rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.
"Come on, beat me to death if you have the guts!" the young man roared, his throat was so dry that it broke, and the sound was like a broken old bellows.
"Haha, do you really think we won't kill you?" The leading guard continued to smile and did not show any anger, like a living smiling tiger.
He continued, "To tell you the truth, Boss Wang Teng will publicly try you the day after tomorrow evening. We really can't kill you now, but we can still inflict some physical pain on you. Do you want to try?"
"Come on then!" The young man raised his neck and roared hoarsely.
"Oh? You're really a tough nut to crack."
The leading guard stroked his chin, his smile turned a little sinister, and continued, "I suddenly changed my mind. It's meaningless to torture you. It's more interesting to torture the people around you. What do you think?"
"You...you bastard!"
The young man gnashed his teeth, fire seemed to be spitting out of his eyes, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
He may not care about his own life or death, but he cannot ignore the lives of his companions.
Several guards seemed to understand this.
So they teased everyone in the cell at will and tortured them with words in different ways to relieve their boredom.
"Huh? Why aren't you talking again? Aren't you going out to fight?"
Several mercenaries burst into laughter, their laughter was unbridled, and they all had joking looks on their faces.
Next, they changed their methods to belittle the people in the cage, as if they were scolding a group of wild dogs, and their laughter became more and more outrageous.
After several minutes, they felt that it was enough and left satisfied.
Not far away, there is a guard's lounge.
Most of the time, they rest and have fun in the lounge.
After they left, the cell area fell into silence again, with only the occasional underwater sound as the only sound.
The young man kept clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to rush out and bite the guards.
At the side, a middle-aged man with broken limbs sighed softly and said, "Alas, why are you doing this?"
"Uncle Liu, I... I just can't swallow this." The young man's voice was completely hoarse, and it sounded like there was sand rolling in his throat.
"Have some water."
"good……"
The young man picked up the broken bowl. There was still some water at the bottom of the bowl, which was enough to moisten his throat.
After a while, he gently put down the broken bowl, placed it where the water dripped, and then whispered: "Uncle Liu, will the organization come to rescue us?"
The middle-aged man shook his head lightly and sighed sadly: "I don't know either. I hope they won't come."
After hearing what he said, the other dozen or so people all looked gloomy, as if they did not want the organization to come and rescue them.
And every scene in the cage was seen by Su Xia from a distance.
The number was correct, sixteen in total.
Combined with what the mercenaries who were guarding just now said, if nothing unexpected happens, the people imprisoned in the cell are the captured members of the Nanfeng organization.
"It's not difficult to rescue them. We just need to destroy the sensor facilities, knock down the guards in this area, and then take them out. This is the northern part of the town, and it's very close to the northern exit. As long as we escape from the club, we can quickly escape into the northern hills... When the time comes, we just need to arrange for people to pick them up in the hills..."
Su Xia thought about it carefully and realized that saving people was indeed not difficult.
Not to mention him, even the Nanfeng infiltration team he saw in the market could rescue people as long as the arrangements were reasonable.
The time, route, and so on of the rescue operation appeared in his mind almost instantly.
After these days of training, he can be considered a master of escape. The various methods he has in hand, combined with each other, are enough for him to rescue everyone safely.
but……
Su Xia always felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't put his finger on what was wrong, but he just felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart.
Now he has a keen intuition that can be called a sixth sense.
"Wang Teng will not let these members of the South Wind Organization be rescued so easily. Will he arrange other means?"
The guards in this underground space seem to be strict, but as long as they are determined to break through and use reasonable means, the Nanfeng organization will definitely be able to rescue people.
Su Xia is very sure about this, and he believes in the infiltration and execution capabilities of the Nanfeng organization.
Wang Teng will not underestimate the Nanfeng organization, just as Su Xia will not underestimate Wang Teng.
For tough opponents, you must give 100% attention.
If it were Su Xia himself, he would definitely prepare a backup plan when facing an opponent like the Nanfeng Organization.
Su Xia thought as he slowly approached the cell.
"Let's check their conditions first. If their injuries are not serious, we can take them away this early morning. Otherwise, we have to find a way to take care of the injured."
The wounded are always a big problem in the wilderness.
When two sides are fighting, the more wounded people on one side, the more trouble it will bring to the other side.
One wounded person may hinder the actions of several people, causing our side to be delayed.
This is why many anti-personnel mines now no longer seek to kill the enemy directly, but instead try to cause serious injuries to the enemy as much as possible, making it impossible for the enemy to act alone.
Soon, Su Xia approached the cage where the sixteen people were held.
"It shouldn't be a big problem..."
He went in to check on their injuries.
But at this moment, Su Xia's eyes suddenly widened, and he stopped where he was, not moving forward any further.
At that moment, he had been looking at the young man with blood on his face. Perhaps because the distance was close enough, a description of the young man popped up on the system.
【Name: Wang Sha】
[Race: Human]
[Faction: Neutral camp·Wandering mercenaries (Wang Teng’s subordinates)]
[Psychic Level: Level 2.3]
[Titanium particle level: Level 37]
[Remaining life: 100%]
[Psychic Talent: None (Not Awakened)]
【……】
[Character description: Wang Sha, from the southwest of the mainland, stole at the age of six, robbed at the age of seven, was sent to a juvenile detention center for murder at the age of twelve, and was sent to juvenile detention centers many times thereafter. At the age of eighteen, he robbed and killed again and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Six months later, he successfully escaped from prison, fled into the wilderness, and joined Wang Teng's forces.]
[Because his appearance is very similar to a captured member of the Nanfeng organization, he was arranged here by Wang Teng as a bait to lure the infiltration team of the Nanfeng organization to take the bait]
[Because they were worried that the Nanfeng organization had special means of investigation, the guarding mercenaries would come over every once in a while and act together with Wang Sha and others...]
【……】
This young man is actually Wang Teng’s subordinate!
Not only him, but everyone in this cage was arranged by Wang Teng!
