Chapter 3550: Chapter 3542: Deal Beneath the Darkness
The three of them adjusted their positions.
And went to sleep in the tent.
As for the trace of drug in the air,
it didn’t affect them.
It was early morning.
When the noises came from outside, Lin Yi and the others didn’t move.
Pretending to maintain their sleep state.
Then they felt themselves being dragged away.
And were tied up.
Until someone kicked Lin Yi.
Simultaneously hearing the terrified cries of Li Fangting and the others.
Lin Yi only then woke up seemingly properly.
Everyone in the group had their hands and feet tied, restricting their freedom.
"I thought they wouldn’t notice, we can’t even laugh at them now." Xiao Bing said in a low voice.
"They got lucky this time." Luo Qi laughed as well.
"Boss Li, what does this mean, why are we being tied up?"
Zhou Li and Ma Jianwen smoked, gathered together with the tribe members.
"Stop calling me Boss Li now, I’ve already sold you to the tribe."
"What?! What do you mean!"
Li Fangting and the others turned pale with fright.
Their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"It’s true I’m a guide, but I also have a side business." Zhou Li said calmly:
"You all better behave, and I might give you a quick end."
"You, you’re going to kill us! That’s illegal!"
"This is abroad, nobody cares about such things." Zhou Li said dismissively:
"In a while, they’ll bleed you and harvest your kidneys. Just bad luck for you, next time don’t wander off, stay at home."
"You bastard, let us go!"
Liu Zihao shouted:
"Our family knows the police, if you dare lay a hand on me, you won’t get away with it!"
"Doesn’t matter, if they can catch me, let’s see who can."
Li Fangting and the others were in shock.
Tied up, unable to move a muscle.
They didn’t know what to do.
"We aren’t with them, just happened to meet on the road, this has nothing to do with us, you’ll let us go, right?"
"Let you go?"
Zhou Li looked at Lin Yi.
"What are you thinking, capturing someone means money for us, why would I let you go."
"Then we’re at a loss, getting pulled into this mess."
"Can’t help it, just bad luck for you."
"Alright then."
"Brother Qin, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have brought you into this."
Li Fangting cried.
"It’s fine, having eaten your chicken leg, there’s some bond, no need to apologize."
"You all stop the whining, it’s annoying to hear."
Zhou Li cursed and chattered, then started talking with the tribe chieftain again.
Gesturing as he spoke.
Lin Yi watched carefully, noticing two black bags next to the chieftain.
Containing unknown things, about the size of basketballs if picked up.
But from the outside, it’s unclear what they were.
Zhou Li weighed the bags in his hands.
Then opened one, shone a flashlight inside.
His expression showed he was quite satisfied with the contents.
But their conversation wasn’t over.
The chieftain was still chattering on about something.
Pointing at the women as he spoke.
Zhou Li became agitated, seeming unable to reach an agreement on something.
The chieftain turned, headed back to his hut.
And brought out another black bag.
This one was slightly smaller than the previous two.
Zhou Li grinned.
After inspecting the goods,
Zhou Li stubbed out his cigarette, took a dagger, and cut the ropes binding Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Luo Qi’s feet.
On the other side, Li Fangting and her companion Feng Xiaoxi received the same treatment.
But their hands were still tied together for easier control.
"Originally, I intended to kill you all, but the chieftain has taken a liking to you, wants to play first, so I’ll have to wait until later to act."
In Zhou Li’s plan, everyone present had to die regardless of gender.
If anyone went back alive, they’d report him, leaving him with no way out.
So, everyone present had to die.
It’s just a matter of when they’ll die.
"You’re just going to sell us like this?" Yu Siying said.
"What else, trading you for some valuable goods is pretty good, the minimum profit is at least two million, I can live it up for a while again."
"So you’re after money, and they’re cannibals, makes sense, right?"
"Hm?"
Zhou Li looked at Yu Siying in surprise.
"You even figured that out?"
"People like us are useless to the tribe unless we’re eaten."
"Not bad, you’re quite smart." Zhou Li said with a smile:
"But knowing this doesn’t help you, in your next life, don’t wander off, such a pity for someone as good-looking as you to be wasted."
"No worries, everyone has to die eventually, it’s just a matter of sooner or later."
"What a positive attitude, it’d be easier for me if everyone I met was like you."
"I doubt it will be in the future."
With a burst of strength, Yu Siying broke free of the ropes on her hands, instantly regaining her freedom.
Zhou Li was frozen in shock.
Ma Jianwen beside him was also at a loss.
This scene was completely unexpected for them.
"Don’t move, if you run I’ll kill you!"
Zhou Li charged forward with the knife.
Aiming to control Yu Siying.
Yu Siying grabbed his wrist, twisted it forcefully upwards, breaking it instantly!
Ah—
Screams echoed in the dark night.
Yu Siying picked up the dropped dagger, stabbing straight into Zhou Li’s abdomen!
Then pulled the knife out.
Blood dripped from the blade.
Ah—
Zhou Li clutched his abdomen, stumbling to the ground.
Realizing the situation was dire, Ma Jianwen didn’t dare linger, he turned and ran!
Yu Siying frowned, threw the dagger, slicing through the tendons in Ma Jianwen’s ankle.
Both men injured, incapable of further action.
Yu Siying turned her gaze to the Mier Tribe members.
"None of you move, or I’ll kill you."
Despite the language barrier, Yu Siying’s ferocity intimidated the tribe members into submission.
Li Fangting and the others were in tears of joy from this narrow escape from death.
Seeing hope for survival.
Yu Siying used the knife to cut the ropes on a few people’s hands.
Elsewhere, Lin Yi’s group easily broke free from their bonds.
Li Fangting and the others were dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.
How were the people they teamed up with so strong?
At this moment, Lin Yi had no time to worry about their feelings.
No time to explain much.
"Boss, what do we do with these people?" Sui Qiang asked.
"Don’t rush, there are still many things to do now." Lin Yi said:
"Let’s control the tribe members first."
"Understood."
Lin Yi turned, looking at the black bags on the ground.
He was also curious about what could be inside.
