Before getting in the car, Tang Yiyi had also become suspicious. However, the situation was critical at the time; either she risked getting in or stayed to be killed by the Mutated Black Ants. There was no other choice. But knowing was one thing; when she discovered that the people in the car were attacking her, she still felt a chill run through her entire body!
She had heard before that once you left Safe City, it would become extremely dangerous, with people killing and robbing, using others as cannon fodder, abandoning their teammates to escape—everything happened. So, outside Safe City, you could never easily get into a stranger's car because it would likely be a dead end! But back then, she was still living "carefree" in Safe City, without having to struggle for a living, and naturally not exposed to those dark sides.
Now, suddenly encountering it, although she had a sense of "as expected," she couldn't help but feel disappointed and sad. Humanity's enemy was clearly the Mutant Beasts, but why do people always stab their own kind in the back? Whether through violent killing or scheming, there's no mercy! If everyone could consistently aim outward, using these plots against the Mutant Beasts, wouldn't the world become a different place?
Tang Yiyi didn't know and didn't dare to think further. Upon discovering the attack, she placed the Alloy Dagger in front of her defensively while trying to open the car door. However, the opponent was clearly prepared. The car door was locked as soon as she got in, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't open it!
At this time, a new attack had already arrived!
The space inside the car was quite cramped. Tang Yiyi's physical ability was already poor, not to mention she was pregnant, had inhaled drugs, and had run several hundred meters, already exhausting all her strength. After getting in the car, the opponent deliberately accelerated when she was unsteady, causing her body to slam heavily into the seat. It's sheer luck that she dodged the lightning attack earlier!
The new round of attack was also lightning. Tang Yiyi desperately tried to dodge, but suddenly her belly ached intensely, her body stiffened, and a bolt of lightning struck her right shoulder hard!
"Ah!" A severe burning pain exploded in her right shoulder where she was hit. Tang Yiyi let out an uncontrollable scream, and the Alloy Dagger slipped from her hand, falling beneath the seat. She quickly bit her teeth, refusing to concede, yet the lightning repeatedly landed on her, burning her knees and wrists!
Despite her body trembling from the severe pain, cold sweat constantly breaking out on her pale skin, Tang Yiyi no longer screamed, only gritting her teeth firmly. She opened her eyes wide, memorizing the faces of each person in the car deeply in her mind!
Besides her, there were only three middle-aged men in the car, their exact ages hard to distinguish, but judging by their looks, they weren't young. They all wore Battle Armor, although merely ordinary styles, still impervious to the Alloy Dagger. After observing, Tang Yiyi knew that even without the drug, she would definitely not be a match for these three men.
The car kept driving, while the three middle-aged men took delight in watching Tang Yiyi's awkward state. Their eyes were vicious, clearly not people to mess with. Tang Yiyi guessed that the three were likely desperadoes. She didn't know if her guess was correct, but if true, her situation could only get worse!
At this moment, she suddenly regretted it. If she had known earlier it would turn out like this, perhaps she would have stayed without leaving. However, she quickly forced herself to stay calm and with a trembling, weak voice, she asked, "Who... sent you to catch me?" Her intuition told her these people wanted her life, yet she avoided using the word "kill." Not to escape death, but because there was no need to remind them.
Yet the three said nothing, merely smiling with satisfaction before ignoring her. Tang Yiyi curled up on the ground, the places where lightning burned were painfully scorching, yet she could only bite down, desperately thinking of a strategy in her head. However, not long after, the car suddenly braked hard! Without a seatbelt, her body slammed forward into the car seat due to inertia, the pain making her feel like her insides might flip over.
But at this moment, she couldn't care about the pain because she was horrified to see the person who had harmed her pull out a small syringe, and after removing the cap, bent down towards her. It was a transparent syringe, with not much liquid inside, only half a tube, seemingly not threatening at all. However, seeing it gave Tang Yiyi a strong sense of fear and unease!
No! He must not come near! Absolutely not! Danger! Danger! Escape now!
It was as if a voice in her head kept shouting, and Tang Yiyi struggled to get up, but the man stomped hard on her injured knee, causing her to let out a scream: "Ah!"
Next, a cold, sharp needle suddenly pierced her arm, thrusting into the vein fiercely, and the liquid inside was slowly pushed out, injected entirely into her vein without a drop wasted. The man wore a sinister smile, saying insincerely, "Don't blame us, someone wants you dead, and we're just doing our job. Blame it on your bad luck. Oh, by the way, this is good stuff in here, enjoy it slowly."
After he finished, he pushed open the car door, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her out of the car. Tang Yiyi raised her eyes and discovered that they were at Garbage Mountain! The so-called Garbage Mountain was actually a large dump. Every day, people would haul the waste from Safe City here to be dumped by truck. All the trash was non-recyclable, and machine processing was too costly, so the government had designated areas outside Safe City for dumping, gradually forming Garbage Mountain. And with more and more garbage, a variety of Mutant Beasts were drawn here!
Therefore, almost everyone knew not to stay near Garbage Mountain for long! These people intentionally brought her here, and it was obvious what their intentions were. Tang Yiyi forced a bitter smile, thinking that Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan really thought highly of her. They went through so much trouble to ensure her death, afraid she wouldn't die?
The man didn't dare approach Garbage Mountain, and after leaving her in a rather concealed spot nearby, he turned back to the car. Soon, she heard the voices of the three men inside the vehicle.
"Alright, we've hidden the person, hurry up and leave this damned place, I don't want to encounter those damned Mutant Beasts!"
"Is this enough? Isn't that girl still alive?"
"What's there to fear, hasn't that thing been injected into her? It's said to be a top-quality item from the black market, capable of making someone die in extreme pain, that girl will definitely not survive!"
The voices faded away as the car drove off, leaving Tang Yiyi lying on the ground, hatred turning her eyes red like blood while excruciating pain tore through her body! The sensation of pain grew stronger, as if wanting to rip her apart. She struggled to encourage herself, yet her consciousness became increasingly fuzzy. It felt as if something inside her body was being torn away. Tang Yiyi suddenly had a premonition—soon, this would all end, and she would find relief.
The anticipation of relief was overwhelmingly beautiful, making her eager to shorten the time, to immediately embrace that unknown, mysterious world. However, just then, she suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice: "Super Foodie System activated successfully, would you like to bind with it?"
Tang Yiyi didn't know what it was, yet instinctively said, "Yes!"
