Chapter 47: CH 28.3

Chapter 28: Entering the tiger’s den (3)

Disclaimer: This arc will have passages of abuse and violence, slavery, and even mention of sexual assault. On top of that, the language will be coarse at times. Expect not very nice physical and verbal abuse all along but I will try to add a disclaimer at the start of each chapter containing triggering scenes.

Chi Xin’s ear suddenly twitched as she heard a curse coming from the outside.

Before they could come in, she quickly took off her jacket, threw it under the table, and stepped on it. She used the table as her cover and took another one from her space that looked almost the same. After doing all this, she quickly returned to her weak appearance and waited for people to enter the house.

The door was slammed open.

“Finally back. This was a mess, we thought there was only one person, who knew it would… who’s that?”

Chi Xin put down her spoon and raised her head. She looked innocently at the men who became stiffened.

They were the men she had just beaten with a fire extinguisher.

The man in the lead looked at Ji You: “… Who is this?”

“Who can it be?” Ji You snorted and lazily stretched his very long legs, “Lost girl.”

Li Cheng stared at Chi Xin for a moment. Even though there was some suspicion in his heart, he didn’t believe his group had just been beaten by such a delicate and soft looking girl.

“Have you seen anyone outside?” He asked her.

Chi Xin shook her head and shrank back slightly.

“Okay, okay, don’t scare her.” Ji You stood up, “It’s almost time to go back to the base. Drink something hot first, you took so long you must be hungry.

An annoyed expression appeared on Li Cheng’s face: “This was an accident.”

“You just wasted two bombs but didn’t catch anything. You can explain it to the boss when we go back.” Ji You interrupted.

Li Cheng’s expression sank but Ji You didn’t look at him anymore. He turned to Chi Xin and told her: “Put your clothes back on, let’s go.”

Chi Xin reached under the table to grab her coat and asked: “Where are we going? I have to wait for my parents.”

A small smile seemed to flash in Ji You’s eyes: “Let’s go to a safer place first, you can wait for them here. There is no heater here, we might freeze to death.”

Hearing that she might die, Chi Xin’s eyes widened in fear. She immediately finished dressing up and followed Ji You. The man looked at her dark hair and instinctively reached out his hand to pat her head.

Li Cheng kept staring at Chi Xin, his expression tense when he saw her coat. But after she was dressed, he looked carefully again and gradually relaxed.

Ji You squinted his eyes: “So?”

Li Cheng was calmer: “It’s not the same.”

Chi Xin lowered her head, seemingly not aware of what they were talking about.

There were two cars parked behind the house. Under Ji You’s instructions, Chi Xin got on one of the passenger seats as Ji You went behind the wheel. A minute later, the two vehicles started simultaneously and headed towards the mountain.

The journey was a bit slow; the snow was still falling, the road was slippery and slightly narrow. They had to be particularly careful as they went up the mountain.

As Ji You drove, he kept glancing at Chi Xin next to him. She was staring out the window and he discreetly sighed. Chi Xin didn’t know what he was thinking but his rather relaxed expression became darker the more the car advanced.

They were silent all the way and Chi Xin looked at the landscape as they drove up to the top of the mountain, to a wall made of metal and surrounded by barbed fences. On the watchtower, a flashlight emitted a regular light.

“Respond.” Ji You said coldly.

One of the men in the backseat took out a flashlight, opened the window and began to respond. Soon after, the iron door slowly opened.

“What is this place?” Chi Xin finally asked, “Can my parents find it?”

“This is Longteng Base.” Ji You turned the steering wheel, “Although it isn’t easy to go in and out, no zombie can come up.”

She was really there. Chi Xin’s eyes flashed for a split second; soon she would see what lay in the most sinister base of the original movie.

Chi Xin wasn’t the kind of person to recklessly want to eliminate all the evil people in the world but the reason she wanted to help was…

“Ah! Let me go!”

“Bastard! Let me go! Let me go!”

As soon as she got out of the car, she heard a woman’s sharp cry. She turned her head and saw a woman with short hair, held by her neck by a man and getting dragged out. Around, whether they were guards or something else, only men were visible.

“Let me go—”

The woman was in pain; she desperately grabbed the man’s arm and bit him.

“Ah, Fuck!” The man yelled and kicked her waist fiercely. Feeling it wasn’t enough, he kicked her a few more times and as she looked on the brink of death, he pulled her hair and slapped her.

“Fucking cunt! Resist one more time and I will throw you down the mountain!” 

The men around the scene watched the atrocious beating with enthusiasm, some of them even whistling to cheer.

“Is Wo Na misbehaving again?”

“Don’t disfigure her too much, there aren’t that many hot girls left in this world.”

Chi Xin looked at everything in a daze, seemingly frightened, and a tall figure stood in front of her.

“Shh.” Ji You pushed her shoulders rather rudely, “Don’t look.”

“Ji You’s back?” 

The violent man turned his head and noticed them. He dropped the woman called Wo Na and walked to them.

His ferocious eyes fell on Chi Xin and he asked: “Who’s that?”

Ji You moved slightly and blocked Chi Xin.

“She’s new.”

The man was stunned and looked at Ji You with surprise: “You actually…?”

Ji You glared at him with warning and raised his hand to gesture at the woman on the ground: “Wo Na, come here.”

The woman stiffened. She pressed her lips together but obeyed. She was holding her waist and walking with a limp but her beautiful figure was impossible to miss. As she approached Chi Xin, her charming yet slightly heroic features appeared.

Ji You pushed Chi Xin to her and said: “She’s new. Take care of her first.” He paused and added: “Take her to see where you live. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Not only the violent man but also Wo Na’s swollen face showed a hint of surprise. She glanced at the tightly wrapped Chi Xin and asked: “She’s… a girl?”

“Yeah.” Ji You replied.

Sadness flashed in Wo Na’s eyes but she didn’t say anything else. Ji You looked down at Chi Xin, and said in a serious tone: “Follow her, do what you’re asked but don’t leave her. Understand?”

Chi Xin blinked and nodded. Ji You’s expression eased a little and he reached out to pat her head again.

“Good girl.”

His gentle tone sounded slightly alien and as soon as he was done speaking, he quickly pushed her to Wo Na.

The vicious man-sized up Chi Xin and said to the other woman in a fierce voice: “I’m letting you off lightly today, only because Vice Chief Ji needs you. Got it?”

Disgust flashed in Wo Na’s eyes but she kept her mouth shut.

“Okay, go now.” Ji You waved his hand.

Wo Na glanced at Chi Xin and said blankly: “Follow me.”

Chi Xin started walking and followed her step by step into the infamous Longteng base. Under the huge coat, her fists were tightly clenched.
