Su Ying got down from the tiger’s back. The city walls in front of her were much taller than the city walls of the border cities of the Chu State. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to get over such a wall.
Su Ying raised her leg and kicked the tiger’s butt. “How did you get in there in the past?”
The tiger shook its fur and came to the city wall to roar a few times.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. The city walls were tightly sealed, and she didn’t know where the door was.
Just as Su Ying was feeling puzzled, a long crack suddenly appeared on the wall in front of her. Immediately, an entrance several meters wide and equally tall appeared before her.
The tiger walked in very matter-of-factly.
Su Ying followed closely behind it with an emotionless gaze.
To her surprise, behind this wall was a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was as if she had walked through a wall and entered a primeval forest.
When the wild beasts in the forest saw that the tiger had returned, they all made way for it. It could be seen that this tiger had a certain status among these wild beasts in the past.
The tiger walked to a big tree and was about to lie down when Su Ying coughed lightly. The tiger, which was about to lie down, stood up again.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows at it and gestured for it to lead the way.
The tiger had no choice but to turn around and continue walking forward.
During this time, quite a few bold wild beasts came forward and sniffed Su Ying’s scent, but after sniffing, they immediately retreated.
This further confirmed Su Ying’s guess that these wild beasts were identifying the people here through the medicinal powder in the pouch.
After the tiger led Su Ying out of the forest, Su Ying realized that the forest was walled up. However, she had walked for at least an hour, so it could be seen how big this place was.
There was an iron gate on the wall. The tiger stood in front of the iron gate and turned to look at Su Ying. Su Ying knew then that it was the exit of the forest.
When Su Ying arrived at the iron gate, she saw a black figure appear behind it.
Su Ying tentatively took out the token from her pocket. When the black-robed man behind the door saw this, he bowed to her and opened the iron gate.
Behind the iron gate was a dark and long corridor. After walking for about fifteen minutes, Su Ying could vaguely see the light in front of her.
After coming out of the tunnel, Su Ying was completely stunned by the scene in front of her.
Beyond the tunnel was an open space that was so large that one could not see the end. The open space was filled with people. They were not living freely like ordinary people but were receiving the crudest and strictest training like soldiers.
Su Ying glanced over and saw that there were actually many three to five-year-old children among the trainees.
“Useless trash. You can’t even carry a sandbag. Get up quickly. If you can’t get up, I’ll beat you to death!”
A loud shout caught Su Ying’s attention. She turned around and saw a child about the same age as her son Ji fall to the ground. A man in black holding a long whip walked up and kicked the child upon seeing him fall.
How could a small child withstand the kick of an adult man? He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even the old Su Ying in the past might not have been able to tolerate such an act in the past, let alone now when she had children.
However, she could not expose herself now. She secretly aimed the small laser gun in her hand at the man in black and shot out a needle-size laser beam silently.
“Argh!”
The black-robed man was shot in the leg and collapsed to the ground on his knees in pain.
The laser gunshot was very painful, but it was not fatal. After the black-robed man fell to the ground, other black-robed men walked over and simply carried him away. As for the child on the ground, they threw him aside like a rag.
The people who were training on the field looked at the child on the ground, whose voice was gradually weakening, and trembled in fear, but no one dared to make a sound.
Su Ying was in no hurry to continue walking forward. Instead, she found a relatively secluded place and entered the interspatial store. Fortunately, she had come prepared. They didn’t have gray cloth, but they had leftover black cloth when making winter clothes. Back then, she had immediately asked Aunt Zhao and the others to help her make a set of black clothes that looked like those of the red-robed man.
After she changed into her black clothes, she came out of the interspatial store.
She noticed that there were black-robed men guarding on the side. She found a place with the best view to stand and watch the people training in the field.
There were men and women, but most of them were men.
The youngest was three or four years old, and the oldest was only around ten years old or so.
Compared to the younger children, those in their teens had a more vacant look.
Su Ying was sure that she wasn’t seeing things. They were benumbed. Those people’s eyes were dull and lifeless, as if… they were emotionless machines that were wound up.
Judging from the skills they were being trained on, the people at each level were different.
After observing for a while, Su Ying realized that the skills they practiced had a certain relationship with the color of their clothes. The more eye-catching the color, the more profound the things they practiced.
She knew it. The people here used color to differentiate their levels.
As for the youngest children, it was as if they had just arrived here and had not adapted to this kind of life yet. This made her think of the Azure Dragon Base that had been massacred. Now that she thought of it, it seemed that there were not many children’s corpses in the Azure Dragon Base.
It was very likely that those children had been brought back to this godforsaken place.
Su Ying looked up at the sun in the sky. The weather was already scorching. Although daytime in winter wasn’t hot, the sun could be so scorching that one couldn’t open one’s eyes. However, this training showed no signs of stopping.
Su Ying had to admit that these people were even more ruthless than her. When she was training Number One and the others, she had always allowed them to have their three meals a day punctually without any delay. Even so, some of those guys couldn’t take it, let alone these sallow and emaciated children.
It was unknown how many children had collapsed in the morning.
To deal with the fallen children, the black-robed men either whipped them or splashed cold water on them to wake them up. Those who could not wake up were simply picked up and thrown to the side.
Tweet…
An ear-piercing whistle rang out, and everyone stopped what they were doing. When the whistling sound stopped, those people on the training ground sank to the ground on their butts. When the whistle rang out, it meant that they could rest.
The black-robed men did not give those people any water to drink. When they were thirsty, they would grab a handful of ice fragments from the ground and put them into their mouths to chew.
Then, a few black-robed men pushed a cart over and threw the children on the ground into the cart before pushing them in the direction of the tunnel.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes. Behind the tunnel was the place where the wild beasts were kept. She did not think that these black-robed men were so kind as to push these children there to let them rest and receive medical treatment!
Su Ying quietly followed in the direction of the cart.
The cart stopped outside the tunnel. They each carried two children and walked into the tunnel.
Su Ying also carried two children and followed them. When they reached the other side of the tunnel, she saw them throw the children into the forest and turned to leave..
