Yuda swiftly drew his dagger and charged forward!
The moment the door was opened,
a pair of large hands suddenly gripped Yuda’s dagger-wielding hand!
The two women took a closer look and, seeing it was Wang Shangmeng, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Shangmeng, his face flushed with anger, kicked away the corpse, shut the door, and gritted his teeth, cursing fiercely, "Damn it, we've been tricked! This is a den, not a reformation center."
"Now there are their people everywhere outside," Yuda said worriedly.
"It's impossible to walk out openly," Wang Shangmeng said fiercely. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with killing intent. "Kill them all!"
With that, Wang Shangmeng crouched down to strip the corpse's clothes. The two ladies came to help.
After a while, Wang Shangmeng put on the corpse's outer clothing and led them out of the room.
He knocked on the door of the adjacent room. After a man inside roared reluctantly, he opened the door, pulling up his pants.
However, just as he reached the doorway, the gate automatically retracted into the wall, and a sharp blade immediately stabbed through the door gap, piercing the man's throat.
The man's head was severed without a sound.
"Don't make a sound!" Wang Shangmeng rushed into the room and growled at the startled, naked woman on the bed, "Make a sound and I'll kill you!"
Ye Ying and Yuda quickly stripped the man's clothes and put them on.
After successively slaughtering men in several rooms, the three of them changed into their clothes, disguised themselves as them, and rescued several violated women along the way.
"It won't be easy to escape with them," Yuda reminded him calmly.
"I understand. We can use them to escape," Wang Shangmeng whispered.
But Ye Ying couldn't bear to abandon these unfortunate girls. Looking at them, the oldest was not even twenty. They were all young foreign women, clearly kidnapped and trafficked.
"How many more rooms are there?" Yuda asked.
"The remaining ones are male rooms, which will be harder to deal with. I'll go in myself."
As Wang Shangmeng spoke, a mechanical disc extended from the fingertip of his right index finger. He touched the metal gate for a few seconds, and the gate automatically opened.
Wang Shangmeng squeezed in sideways. A few low, desperate cries of death immediately echoed from inside the room.
Just then, the outer door opened in the distance, and another girl was pushed in!
Not only that, but two burly men followed her.
When the two strong men saw Ye Ying, Yuda, and the rescued girls, they were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to open the door.
Unexpectedly, the short girl beside them suddenly materialized ink-green energy swords in both hands. After a few swift sword lights, the strong men were cut into four pieces.
"Ning Yu!" Yuda whispered in surprise.
Ning Yu quickly walked up to the group and said softly, "I found this place based on the tracker on you. Sorry, I was too hasty. By the way, why are you here?"
"It's a long story! Let's deal with this place first!" Yuda said.
At this moment, Wang Shangmeng emerged from the room, covered in blood. Seeing Ning Yu, he nodded at her.
The two effortlessly dismantled this evil forces' den that preyed on women.
Corpses littered the ground and rooms. The black, foul blood mixed with various chemical agents, forming small rivers that flowed into the corridors and then into the filthy, stinking sewers.
The rescued young men and women changed into the villains' clothes and followed the four out of the inner rooms.
They didn't even need to make a move.
Ning Yu alone easily killed everyone outside.
By the time they emerged from the den, it was already dark.
With the help of the night and the disguise of the Black Star's outer garments, these more than ten people finally felt a sense of security.
Taking advantage of the night and with Ning Yu's help, they found a safe haven in the northwestern part of the city.
It was a dilapidated apartment building, old and weathered. Few residents lived there, and most were scavengers from the vicinity.
Ning Yu arranged everyone and said, "In my world, I've stayed here before. Don't worry, these few blocks are too poor and remote, there are basically no Black Star Gestapo here."
Wang Shangmeng finally relaxed, sitting wearily on a collapsed bed. "Let's question these young men and women about their backgrounds. If we find anyone suspicious, kill them immediately."
"Entering Black Star, we must prioritize caution and never be kind-hearted."
With the agreement of the others, they paired up, calling out the young men and women one by one for interrogation.
Ye Ying and Ning Yu were a pair. After interrogating a few people, while waiting for the next person,
Ye Ying asked softly, "Have you found a way to enter the Black Star Dominion Tower?"
"Teacher, there's no need to look. I know it like the back of my hand. I just want to confirm if there have been any changes in the Dominion Tower," Ning Yu said easily. "I once infiltrated Black Star for a period and got inside their organization."
"And then?" Ye Ying asked.
Ning Yu's expression suddenly became blank. Her appearance was numb, but her eyes betrayed her; it was an expression of extreme inner fear.
It seemed she had experienced something terrifying in that Black Star Dominion Tower.
Ning Yu's head trembled slightly. Before she could speak, the last girl walked in.
Unlike the other girls, this girl was not crying, sad, dull, or neurotic. Her eyes were clear, and her demeanor was proper.
Although her legs trembled slightly from hunger and pain, the girl still maintained a ladylike posture, sitting gracefully in front of Ye Ying.
"What do you want to ask me?" the girl asked softly, her voice clear as a spring.
She had a weary calmness of someone who had survived a calamity. Her lips curved upwards, whether in genuine laughter or a pretense, it was unclear.
In any case, this girl gave Ye Ying and Ning Yu a sense of mystery.
This immediately put the two on alert.
Ning Yu narrowed her eyes, staring into the girl's eyes, and said clearly, "I don't remember rescuing you."
The girl lowered her gaze and froze for a few seconds. She raised her hand and removed her dirty outer garment.
Her breasts had been cleanly cut off, and two round wounds had already healed.
Ye Ying and Ning Yu recalled that among the rescued youths, there was indeed a girl who was taciturn. When rescued, she lay quietly on the bed with an empty gaze, and the scars on her chest were particularly conspicuous.
The situation was too urgent at the time, so Ye Ying and the others hadn't paid much attention to this silent girl.
Ning Yu suddenly stood up, activated her exoskeleton armor, and flew out through the window.
Ye Ying sighed softly. She knew that Ning Yu must have gone to find the administrators of the den out of anger, and tonight, she would surely bloodbath the dark forces.
This girl, at her core, was as righteous and hateful of evil as Gu Ya, but her temper was wilder and more impulsive.
"Put on some clothes," Ye Ying advised like an elder sister. Seeing the girl quietly put on her clothes, Ye Ying asked again, "What's your name? Where is your home?"
The girl showed a serene expression, but her eyes were clearly less clear than before. She said softly, "My name is Ren Shu. I live in Sector 12 Wastewater Treatment of Wuxia City, Xian Xia. My parents run a small business to support the family."
This time, it was Ye Ying's turn to be slightly astonished. She actually met someone from her hometown here.
Ren Shu continued, "I am 17 years old. Two years ago, I studied at the Preparatory Mecha Mechanic Academy in Sector 12 Wastewater Treatment. I was abducted by human traffickers and then trafficked here. Sister, where are you from?"
If it were other foreign girls, Ye Ying wouldn't have felt so emotional.
But facing Ren Shu from Wuxia City, and learning about her plight and current situation, Ye Ying's heart suddenly felt as if it were being cut by a knife. She stammered, "Uh... I... I... Oh yes, do you know Gu Ya?"
She herself might not be famous, but her boyfriend was a renowned figure at the Preparatory Mecha Mechanic Academy in Sector 12 Wastewater Treatment.
Ren Shu clearly knew Gu Ya, but her reaction was not pronounced. She simply smiled and said, "I know him, a senior from the third graduating class..." and then said no more.
Ye Ying let out a long sigh and smiled, "Yes, go back and rest well. We will safely send you home."
Ren Shu stood up, bowed to Ye Ying, and turned to leave the room with light steps.
Just as she was about to leave Ye Ying's line of sight, Ren Shu subtly glanced at her, her lips curving upwards, revealing a cold, alluring, and mysterious smile.
