Chapter 20: Torture
What's the time now?
Day or night?
Where am I?
I slowly opened my eyes and saw my surroundings clearly, it was a dark room, with only a homemade oil wick in the center of the room, and the flames flickered on and out, reflecting the shadows on the wall everywhere. I had the illusion that I had swam into this room from a completely strange world, a deep ocean floor.
There was also a man in the room, lying facing the wall, motionless. I recognized it as a land breeze.
I moved my body and tried to get closer to him, but suddenly I felt a dull pain in my stomach, painful and sore, and not only my stomach, but also my whole body felt like it had been injected with mercury, and my joints were stiff and painful.
I realized I had been beaten and passed out after the beating. Three, four, or more? There was a dull ache in my mouth, and I couldn't remember how many times I had been tortured.
Suddenly, I remembered a name, and my heart exploded with a bang - Xiao Lin. Where is Xiao Lin now? What happened to her? In the firelight, I could see her weeping face and her expression full of fear.
"Throw them into the dark room." I remember Zhao Yinxiang saying this at the end, and then I was dragged up from the ground. The dim candlelight passed in front of me, and I saw many faces, some fearful, some indifferent, some angry, and more hateful as if they were enemies. In a trance, I caught a glimpse of several rooms on the first floor, covered with straw mats and quilts, each crowded with people, like a concentration camp. Then I was unconscious in pain.
The room was surrounded by concrete walls on all sides, with only a closed iron door, making it impossible to tell the difference between day and night. I heard a squirming voice next door, presumably from another room on the first floor. It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why Zhao Yinxiang wanted to close all the doors and windows on the first floor was not to prevent zombies at all, but to turn the first floor into a "big black room", where life is day and night, and people know nothing about the outside world, so they can only blindly believe in the person who enslaved them.
"......" At this time, Lu Feng also woke up, and he struggled to prop up his waist and sit up. The candle flame in the center of the room illuminated the bruises on his face very clearly. There were only the two of us in this room, which meant that Guan Fei and Xiao Lin were taken to another place by them.
"It's here again, haha......" Lu Feng laughed miserably, leaning against the wall.
"Here?" I was puzzled.
"This is where I do my zombie experiments, and it's fitting to use this as a place of internment for rebels." Lu Feng said that this is the storage room of the former canteen, which was used to store food, and the room was gloomy and closed, which put a heavy mental burden on the detainees.
At this time, I vaguely smelled a foul smell, so I opened my nose wide and sniffed around.
"Don't smell it, it should be the oil lamp." Lu Feng said.
I looked at the oil lamp in the center of the room, and when I got closer, there was a faint but tenacious stench coming from the crackling lamp.
"That's fat!" Lu Feng said.
"What fat?"
"Human fat." Lu Feng stared at the oil lamp, as if he could see some story in it, "I wonder why there are so many fewer people......"
"You say, 'Well, this is human fat?' I suddenly felt sick and something was churning in my stomach.
"There were 56 survivors when I was here, but before I came in, there were less than 30 people, so where did those 26 go?"
"You mean, Zhao Yinxiang killed them all......"
"Then it was dismembered, and the fat part was used as fuel for lighting." Lu Feng helped me finish what I didn't dare to say.
He continued: "Zhao Yinxiang is a smart man, the food in the canteen is always limited, and there is no way to increase the food, can he sit still? ”
I suddenly understood what he was talking about, and I couldn't help but feel sick after a lot of battles. If it is really as Lu Feng said, then Zhao Yinxiang is really cruel and incoherent.
The conversation came to an abrupt end when footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the iron door was opened, and a tray was handed in one hand, on which were two meals. A few green vegetables mixed with two diced meats, and a small half bowl of rice, the food is pitiful.
When I saw those diced meats, I felt the urge to vomit. But if the particles don't enter the body for a long time, I will definitely not be able to bear it, so I had to bite the bullet and sweep the food into my stomach, the food is not cooked, the vegetable stalks are terrible hard, and half of the rice is still rice.
Lu Feng also swallowed the meal.
After some time, the footsteps approached, and the iron door was opened again, this time Zhao Yinxiang walked in. We immediately stood up as if we were facing a great enemy.
"Two little ghosts, how are you doing?" He looked at us in turn. There were four or five boys standing behind him. I thought to myself, could it be that he is keeping us in captivity in order to turn us into fuel for these oil lamps?
"How are you going to keep people alive?" Lu Feng asked, he pointed to the oil lamp, "Is it like this?" ”
Zhao Yinxiang gave the boys behind him a look, and they immediately held down Lu Feng and made him unable to move.
"Is this something that the prisoners can discuss?" He patted Lu Feng's face and said contemptuously.
At this time, I suddenly remembered something important, so I rushed towards Zhao Yinxiang, and several boys immediately grabbed me. I couldn't care about it so much, and yelled loudly: "What did you do to Xiao Lin and them? ”
Zhao Yinxiang said with a smile: "Guan Fei is so powerful, I naturally have to be locked up like a mad dog." As for Lu Xiaolin......"
His expression suddenly became obscene, and the corners of his mouth hid a smile.
There was a sudden bang in my head, and the conversation between Wang Qiang and Sisi kept hovering in my head.
"You scum! You scumbag! You brute! "I tore at my throat, desperately trying to break free from the hand that was holding me. Several people immediately subdued me to the ground and shoved my mouth on the ground, leaving me speechless.
"How do I usually teach you?" Zhao Yinxiang squatted down, "I taught you to respect your teacher, you all regard it as the wind in your ears?" ”
He said proudly, "Let me teach you another lesson today." In this world, power is everything, and I am power. This world is right is wrong, wrong is right, normal is crazy, crazy is normal, do you think I'm hateful? But let me tell you, only those who survive are qualified to judge others. ”
He let my mouth go and continued, "So, as long as you obey me, I will let you live." Also, I have something for you to do today. Some time ago, I sent someone to the commissary, but I never came back, probably because I was out of business. Didn't you come safely over there? So this time I'll arrange for someone to come with you and get all the supplies over there. ”
I didn't want to hear anything he said, I just stared at him. If the eyes could kill, I would tear him to pieces here.
Suddenly, I seized an opportunity, opened my mouth wide, and bit the hand that was pressing my shoulder. One of the boys let out an exclamation and let go. One side was free for a moment, and I immediately struggled to my feet. Zhao Yinxiang was right in front of me, and he was still looking at me blankly at the moment.
I yelled frantically and slammed my head into his chest.
It all happened so quickly that he had just shown surprise and had been knocked to the ground by me, and his screams were only made after my fist hit me in the face.
The boys around him were even more slow to react half a beat, and by this time I had already clenched my hands, raised them high above my head, and slammed them on his chest. Zhao Yinxiang stretched his neck like a pig and screamed.
The hands around me finally reacted when I opened my mouth wide and was about to bite into his neck, pulling me away and pressing me back to the ground.
Zhao Yinxiang clutched his chest and stumbled to his feet, but he couldn't breathe down and sat down on the ground again. At this time, he was embarrassed and ugly, like a jackal in his original form, twisting his facial features and grinning teeth.
"Rack him up!" He shouted.
The two boys set me up. Then I felt a sour nose and tears began to burst out of my eyes, and his fist hit the bridge of my nose. There was a half-second pause, followed by another punch in my left cheek, blood mixed with saliva swirling in my mouth. The director of moral education did everything he could to teach the students a lesson.
In the last days, sadism is an absolute pleasure to remove the repression and despair of the last days, and at the same time to expel fear without reservation through this outpouring of power. Zhao Yinxiang has a sentence that is right - in the last days, normal is crazy, and crazy is normal.
The middle-aged man, who was over half a hundred years old, gasped for breath. My vision was also a little blurry, and my head was buzzing.
Zhao Yinxiang straightened his clothes, pointed at the two boys and said, "You two continue to beat me, and the one over there will also beat me to death!" ”
Then he showed a shameless expression: "Xiao Lin is an obedient girl, unlike you, tsk!" ”
My chaotic head suddenly came to its senses, and I roared and was about to bite Zhao Yinxiang again, but at this time, the chaotic fist had already fallen on me. I suddenly understood that in the face of human ugliness, even zombies have to give up three points, and to survive in such malice, the only way to survive is to make yourself more crazy. I knelt on the ground, and just as Zhao Yinxiang's footsteps turned around and were about to leave the room, I let out a heart-rending roar.
"Zhao, Yin, Xiang......" I squeezed out these words from between my teeth word by word, "I want to, kill, die, you!" ”
He looked at me from top to bottom, his eyes full of coldness and cruelty.
The door closed. Raindrops of fists and kicks fell on my head, ribs, stomach, waist, and legs for me and Lu Feng...... A seemingly never-ending rainstorm, along with my hatred, endlessly filled the entire black room......
