HPDBC Chapter 76 A Bunch of Scum
Chapter 76 A Bunch of Scum
This was a village where there were many storage cellars for food preservation. Zhouzhou followed the Locating Talisman and arrived at a place. It was dimly lit, and if she didn't have the Locating Talisman, she wouldn't have thought that there were people hidden here.
There was a wooden board covering the cellar, emitting a strong stench from inside. Zhouzhou's expression darkened, and she had a sense of foreboding. She easily removed the wooden board with her hand, and a strong smell of decay came out from inside.
It was the smell of rotting corpses...@@@@
This smell confirmed the appearance of the human trafficker she had seen before. His hands were indeed stained with blood. She took out a talisman and sealed the area to prevent the smell from spreading and attracting those scoundrels. Zhouzhou jumped into the cellar and ignited an Illumination Talisman, revealing the scene below.
She saw two sets of skeletons lying there, and next to them was a girl lying silently. Her body was covered in injuries, wounds all over her face, and her hands and legs twisted in strange positions. Zhouzhou had some medical knowledge, and at a glance, she could tell that her bones had been intentionally broken!
These scums!
They not only sold people but also dared to kill!
Zhouzhou was about to raise her hand to gather the bones when her fingertips suddenly paused. Something was wrong. The Locating Talisman could only detect the presence of living beings. There were still people alive here!
With that in mind, she looked at the girl lying there, walked over quickly, and checked her pulse. After a dozen breaths, she finally felt a slight tremor in her fingertips.
She was still alive.
That was great.
However, her breathing was so weak that Zhouzhou almost thought she was gone.
She quickly took out a pill and fed it to her.
After a while, the girl slowly opened her eyes, saw Zhouzhou, and widened her eyes slightly. In a weak voice, she asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't be afraid, sister. I'm Zhouzhou, and I'm here to save you."
"Save me?" The girl repeated softly, gradually regaining her consciousness. She looked at Zhouzhou's innocent face and hurriedly said, "Little girl, you should leave quickly and don't mind me!"
How young was she? Shouldn't it be Zhouzhou who was saved? They might both be unable to leave when the time came.
"I won't survive, so don't mind me. Just go quickly."
Seeing her getting agitated, Zhouzhou gently held her down. "Shh, sister, don't worry. The scoundrels are still outside."
When the girl heard the words "scoundrels," her face flashed with fear, and she immediately stopped talking.
Zhouzhou keenly felt her body tremble slightly when she heard the words "scoundrels." She looked at her with pity. How much torture had she endured?
Time was running out, and Zhouzhou didn't waste any more time. She quickly said, "Sister, wait here for me. I'll leave you some medicine. If you feel uncomfortable, take one. It can relieve the pain. Don't be afraid.
My Second Elder Uncle is a police officer, and he's very capable. He will come soon and save everyone."
The police are coming...
Finally, a glimmer of hope appeared in the girl's eyes. She whispered, "Okay, I'll wait."
Zhouzhou reached out her chubby hand and gently touched the girl's tangled hair. She left a few painkillers for her and then turned and left.
Li Ergou looked at Brother Black, who was boasting and making grand promises, with disdain, but he didn't dare confront him. He could only mutter some sarcastic remarks in his heart. However, for some reason, his mouth suddenly blurted out, "What's so great about it? No matter how great you are, Brother Hu is even greater. You're just bragging."
The scene fell silent upon hearing his words. Brother Black's face turned dark as he turned towards them and asked, "What did you say?"
Li Ergou panicked and was about to explain, but the words that came out changed, "That's how it is. I didn't say anything wrong. If you don't believe me, ask Ermao and Sandan. They've already made connections with Brother Hu. After we finish this job, we'll join Brother Hu. He's the boss."
The people he pointed out were also surprised, looking at the murderous intent in Brother Black's eyes, their hearts sank.
"You guys are all wild. Each and every one of you," Brother Black said as he lunged at them.
Seeing that the situation had been exposed, several people knew that they couldn't escape this disaster, so they decided to fight back.
Before they even divided the money, they started fighting amongst themselves.
Zhouzhou watched them casually, swaying her short legs. She looked at them as if she was watching a group of dogs fighting, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.
Taking advantage of their brawl, Zhouzhou quietly ran into the room.
The room was in a mess, with dirty and smelly clothes everywhere. Zhouzhou wrinkled her nose in disgust and her gaze fell on the area under the bed.
She crawled underneath and quickly felt a notebook on the bed frame. She took it out and patted it. The cover read "Golden Orchid Book."
Zhouzhou opened it and saw a list of names with birthdates and hometowns.
It turned out to be a list of their human trafficking organization!
Zhouzhou's eyes lit up. She heard some noise coming from outside and quickly stuffed the notebook into her bag before heading out.
The human traffickers outside also heard the noise. One of them quickly shouted, "Stop fighting! The boss is here."
As he spoke, Zhouzhou glanced outside from the corner of her eye and her ears twitched. Oh, there were quite a few people.
Today, she would capture them all!
Brother Black sneered and pointed at the beaten-up individuals on the ground, saying, "Tie up those useless dogs. We'll deal with them later."
He wiped away the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth and said, "Bring out the merchandise."
In the dimly lit room, Qin Er also heard the commotion outside. He cautiously peered out of the window and was shocked. So many people!
There was at least a dozen of them, all strong and formidable. Coupled with the ten or so people who were already there, there were over thirty of them in total.
Could Zhouzhou handle them?
As he pondered, he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
He was startled and quickly returned to his original position, closing his eyes and tensing his heart.
Where was Zhouzhou? She hadn't returned yet. What if they noticed that one person was missing?
Thinking about this, Qin Er became even more nervous. He watched as the door was about to open, and his heart raced.
