The three children were thrown off the ship.
One of the men on the ship hollered at Jin Yiheng, “Rascal, what are you looking at? The sky is about to turn dark soon. You’d better hurry and look for some food and water. Otherwise, you’ll have to starve to death. I’m telling you, there are no servants here to serve you. All of you, you’d better stay here obediently. It’s impossible for you to escape!” As soon as he finished yelling at him, the ship moved off.
At this moment, it was not exactly tranquil and peaceful by the seaside where the strong sea breeze was blowing toward them. The three children looked at each other before shifting their gazes onto the ship that was slowly vanishing out of sight. Having never experienced such treatment before, the three children were frightened out of their senses and began bawling in agony.
They were finally done weeping. Due to the fact that they had already eaten some bread and drank some water on the ship, they were not quite hungry yet. However, the bread and water given by the woman could last them for only one meal...
They began walking toward the main road, hand in hand.
The main road was simply a muddy path that was only wide enough for one car to pass.
There was lush greenery and trees on both sides of the road.
They continued walking further in. Fortunately, they had to go for jogs and long walks very frequently during training at the boot camp. Hence, a few kilometers were a piece of cake for them.
After walking for a long time, they finally saw a stone house.
“Brother, there’s a house over there!” Jin Rongyan exclaimed.
“I saw it too. Let’s go over there to take a look,” Jin Yiheng answered in a puerile voice.
They scurried toward the house to see that there was a broken metal door that was rusty. It was obvious that it had been around for a long time.
Long Xiaoxi knocked on the door and asked, “Is anyone inside?”
At this moment, two extremely hideous-looking men opened the door. One of them was bearded while the other had his face covered in scars, which made him look terrifying.
Long Xiaoxi grabbed onto Jin Yiheng tightly and stood behind him, not daring to look at the men.
As soon as the men opened the door, they pulled the three children into the house forcefully and locked the metal door.
“Big brother, what do you guys do?”
“What do you think? Kid, you’re young but you’re rather calm and quiet. I shall tell you the truth. The people who brought you to the island chose not to send you guys to us directly simply because they wanted you guys to fend for yourselves elsewhere. But you actually came to us yourselves. You’ll have no choice but to stay here, then. Come with me,” said the bearded man, who began walking inside while the scarface pushed them along.
The three children followed him quietly. When another metal door opened, they shrieked in terror and screamed incessantly.
Jin Yiheng hurriedly covered Long Xiaoxi’s eyes with his hands while Jin Rongyan covered his own. He said in a quivering voice, “Brother, I’m scared.”
“Don’t be scared, I’m here.” Jin Yiheng was the only one out of the three children who was still staring at the sight before them.
It was not that he wasn’t afraid. Rather, he had long gotten used to seeing ghosts and spirits due to the paranormal abilities he had inherited from An Xiaoning.
Hence, he could remain calm and cool-headed.
Upon hearing Jin Yiheng’s words of comfort, the bearded man burst into laughter and sneered, “You’re just a kid and yet you’re better at pretending than adults are. Okay, you three shall stay in here. Find your own food and water if you’re hungry or thirsty. Give me those.”
He then snatched the bread and bottled water from Jin Yiheng’s and Jin Rongyan’s hands.
Jin Yiheng flew into a rage, and he looked at Jin Rongyan before kicking the bearded man in the back of his knee. The man fell to the ground and landed on his knees. The scarface immediately whipped out his gun and pointed it at Jin Yiheng, who dared not move.
The bearded man stood up, seething with anger. He then kicked Jin Yiheng menacingly before grabbing Jin Rongyan and flinging him toward the wall, causing his head to bleed.
Completely terrorized, Long Xiaoxi began bawling loudly and pleaded continuously, “Please don’t hit him, please, I’m begging you, don’t hit him!”
Noticing that the bearded man had yet to simmer down and instead began beating the two brothers again, Long Xiaoxi immediately knelt onto the ground and pleaded while weeping, “We’re just children, we don’t know anything. We’re just insensible. Please stop hitting them, please.”
The scarface put his gun away and patted the bearded man on his shoulder. “Forget it, let’s go out.”
The bearded man exited while cursing incessantly and locked the metal door from the outside.
“Rongyan, Rongyan, are you alright? Does it hurt?” Long Xiaoxi helped Jin Rongyan up while sobbing.
“I’m alright,” Jin Rongyan said with pursed lips and tears in his eyes.
Jin Yiheng clutched his stomach and squatted down beside Jin Rongyan. He winced in pain and had broken out into a cold sweat.
“Brother, there’s no way for us to escape.”
“Not necessarily. The sky is almost dark and the walls are so high. There’s only one way for us to leave.”
“Brother, how?”
Jin Yiheng pointed at the pile of corpses near them.
There were corpses and skeletons everywhere, some of which were half-decomposed, giving the entire room a spooky and eerie vibe. Even adults would be petrified, let alone children.
Jin Yiheng stood up slowly and walked toward the door. He looked outside to see that there was nothing except a tattered mat and a torn blanket.
There was a countless number of corpses in the yard and barely any food or water available.
“They’ve snatched our bread and water away. The bread and biscuits we have left are not going to last us for long.”
“Why did they tell us to find our own food and water in here, then...?” said Jin Rongyan.
“They just want us to eat human flesh and drink their blood.”
Upon hearing his words, Jin Rongyan and Long Xiaoxi were terrorized.
“I’m not eating human flesh, over my dead body!!!”
“That’s why we must escape.” Jin Yiheng lowered his voice and stared at the door before saying, “Let’s climb out.”
“How are we supposed to climb up? The wall is too high,” Jin Rongyan asked in puzzlement.
“Didn’t I point at those corpses just now? We’ll just stack them on top of each other and climb up the wall. That’s the only solution we have. They have guns, we can’t beat them.”
Jin Rongyan had turned as pale as a sheet and broke out into a cold sweat.
Long Xiaoxi dared not utter a single word at all, because she had no idea what to do.
Her eyes had turned red and swollen from all the crying.
She missed her family and yearned to go home.
She did not want to stay in this hellhole any longer.
“Rongyan, let’s do as Yiheng said. If we don’t make it out of here, we’ll have to eat these...”
“Okay,” he agreed softly.
The house was facing the West while the metal door faced the South.
