One of the men nodded in acknowledgment and took out a pair of insulated
gloves. He pulled a wire from the spotlight.
Then, he stuck it to Zhou Liang.
âAll!â
Zhou Liangâs scream was not as intense as before, but his body convulsed uncontrollably under the electric current.
The entire process lasted a full five seconds.
Due to the different electrical standards, Panemâs voltage was no volts. If it had been Huaxiaâs 220 volts, five seconds of current would have been enough to stop his heart. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âKeep going.â
After pausing for a few seconds, Grilloâs men stuck the wires to Zhou Liangâs body again.
âAll!â
The scream came again, longer this time, lasting at least seven seconds.
When he stopped, Zhou Liang was already on the verge of death. His arm was charred black from electric burns.
Grillo walked towards Zhou Liang and looked down at him.
âYou still donât want to say it.â
Zhou Liangâs eyes were empty and lifeless. He lay motionless on the ground as if he was dead.
Grillo frowned. âWhat a tough nut to crack.â
âBoss, should we continue?â His subordinate asked.
âHeâll die if this goes on,â Grillo said.
âHis leg is already crippled. Thereâs no point in keeping his other leg. Cripple
it.â
âYes.â
The two subordinates did not hesitate. To them, this was very normal.
One of them held the gun in his hand and fired it at Zhou Liangâs left leg.
After giving his instructions, Grillo walked out of the warehouse and returned to the car.
He lit a cigar and leisurely listened to music.
He did not want to participate in the interrogation anymore, so he handed it
over to his subordinates to handle.
For the next half hour, Zhou Liangâs screams filled the warehouse.
Gradually, the screams grew quieter until only the sounds of banging and thudding remained.
Other than that, no other sounds emerged.
Soon, another hour passed.
During this time, the screams continued sporadically, each time growing softer until they eventually fell silent.
Red blood slowly seeped out from the gap beneath the warehouse door.
Clangâ¦
The warehouse door was pushed open, and the subordinate who had first acted stepped out from inside.
âDid he say it?â Grillo turned off the music and asked his subordinate.
âNo. We broke his limbs and pulled out his nails and teeth, but we didnât say anything. I was afraid heâd die from the shock if I tried again, so I let him off for now.â
âYou didnât speak even after that?â Grillo sighed.
âNo, notaword.â
âThat unyielding Huaxian is really amazing.â
âItâs very likely that heâs from the Central Guards Brigade. Otherwise, he
wouldnât have such great endurance.â
âIâd already guessed that,â Grillo said dryly.
âWhat should we do next? The ore must be on his companion. The other paity hasnât shown his face yet. Iâm afraid that he will sneak away like before.â
âThat shouldnât be possible. This city is already surrounded, and the security outside the city is even tighter. Itâs impossible for anyone to escape. I believe heâs still in the city, but we just donât know where heâs hiding yet.â Grillo said.
â However, we canât delay this matter for too long. We have to think of a way.
We have to either find that man or get the guy inside to speak!â
A few hours passed, and the sky turned bright.
Cologne is located in the central region of Panem, facing the Sparrow Sea, and is a famous coastal city.
On the highway into the city was a white Land Rover with six people in it. Each
of them was staring in a different direction, as if they were looking for something.
Sitting in the passenger seat was Ning Che.
Ever since they confirmed that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade, Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo had separated.
Qiu Yuluo was in charge of creating a diversion and tricking the other party, creating the illusion that Lin Yi was still in Santos.
Ning Che, on the other hand, secretly headed to Cologne to pick up Lin Yi. âIs there any news from the headquarters?â Ning Che asked with a frown.
âNot yet. Boss Liu said that weâve lost contact with Team Leader Lin again. We havenât been able to contact him.â
âAsk the people stationed on the other roads if theyâve spotted any sign of Lin Yi.â
âWe just asked them. Thereâs no news. The city is calm, and thereâs no sign of anything unusual. If Team Leader Lin had entered the city, he would have found a way to signal us. Itâs impossible that thereâs no news at all.â
Ning Che lit a cigarette, her expression extremely grim.
Earlier, Zhou Liang had sent a message saying he would head to Cologne early.
Itâs been over ten hours since then, and even at a slow pace, he should have reached Cologne by now.
Lin Yi was a very cautious person and wouldnât make mistakes in such matters. The fact that thereâs no news and theyâve lost contact with headquarters was not a good sign.
It indicated that Lin Yi couldnât send a signal. In other words, he might have fallen into danger again.
Moreover, every road leading to Cologne had their people monitoring it. If Lin Yi had really come, they wouldnât have missed him.
âLin Yi said before that heâs in Chepopur, right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
After thinking for a few seconds, Ning Che made a bold decision.
âInform Team 6 to continue guarding this place. The rest of you, follow me back to Chepopur!â
âGo back? Boss Liu asked us to stay here and receive Team Leader Lin. Without his orders, can we go back like this?â
âI have a bad feeling that something might happen if we wait any longer. Just listen to me. Hurry back to Chepopur as quick as possible!â
âOkay!â
Not long after Ning Che and the others left, a black Raptor stopped at the side of the highway that led into the city.
The two pickup trucks parked together, one in front of the other. Song Jinmin got out of the truck, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. At the same time, the men from the other pickup truck also got out.
One of them was a burly man, wearing a black tank top and army green camouflage pants. His muscles were taut and powerful, like steel ready to explode with energy.
On his right arm, there was a tattoo of the number 6 in Arabic numerals, with a spade symbol next to it.
His name was Frank, code-named Six of Spades.
Originally, Song Jinmin and Lin Jingzhan were both on Tilia Island, but after something happened to Lin Yi, they sent him back.
At the same time, twelve of his subordinates returned.
âHowâs the situation? Is there any news from the city?â Song Jinmin asked.
âThereâs no news at all. I donât think heâs here.â
Song Jinmin looked at his watch and muttered expressionlessly.
âItâs been so long. Why isnât he here yet?â
Suddenly, Song Jinminâs expression changed. He turned around and got into the car.
âInform everyone below to return to Chepopur!
