Chapter 348
The most important thing for them now is to bring the more than 200 survivors back safely.
"Okay! Thank you so much! Several members of our team who were captured have been rescued. Two died, but this is a blessing in disguise." Chen Fen was very grateful.
She still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Shuwan.
In order to avoid causing a disturbance, Zhou Shuwan put a sack over the woman tied to the motorcycle before coming.
So no one noticed that there was a woman tied to the motorcycle.
Zhou Shuwan tilted her head slightly, motioning Chen Fen to come over to the side and talk with her.
"Sister Fen, there's something I must tell you." She lowered her voice, her tone serious, "The leader of the cannibal gang may have infiltrated the survivors we rescued."
Chen Fen's expression changed: "What?"
She subconsciously looked back at the survivors who were sitting or lying in the supermarket. Looking through the gate, she could see Chen Fen's team members distributing compressed biscuits to these people. They didn't take much, and each person could only break off one piece, but no one complained.
After being imprisoned, these people only ate a little bit of pitiful food every day to avoid starving to death. They were running with all their might just now, but now they have no strength left.
After getting the compressed biscuits, everyone stuffed them into their throats desperately. They looked so skinny that it was hard to associate them with the vicious cannibal gang.
"The person tied to the motorcycle was a woman sent by the cannibal gang to lure victims into a trap."
Zhou Shuwan pointed in the direction of the motorcycle, briefly repeated what the woman had said, and said softly, "Now the most important thing for us is to confirm whether what she said is true or not, and then find the female leader."
Chen Fen frowned. "We haven't heard of this news either. Okay, I understand. I'll have my team cooperate with your actions."
She first arranged for the rescued team members to rest alone on the second floor, and then asked them one by one. Sure enough, these people were all confused and had no idea about the matter.
They had only been locked up for a few days, so it was normal that no abnormalities were found.
Chen Fen arranged for several team members to search the crowd quietly, while the rest of the team members stepped up their vigilance and paid close attention to the movements inside and outside the supermarket.
Zhou Shuwan walked to the motorcycle, untied the sack, and dragged the unconscious woman to the storage room behind the supermarket.
The storage room was dimly lit and the air was filled with dust and mold.
Zhou Shuwan tied the woman's hands and feet to ensure she couldn't break free.
Zhou Shuwan pinched the woman's philtrum hard, and the unconscious woman's eyelids trembled, and she slowly woke up. Seeing the unfamiliar environment and the cold Zhou Shuwan in front of her, she struggled in fear, whimpering and crying, like a trapped animal in despair.
"Behave!" Zhou Shuwan shouted, increasing the force in his hands. The woman's struggles softened in pain, her terrified eyes flickering between her and Qi Mingyu.
Zhou Shuwan pulled out a dagger from his waist, pressed it against the woman's neck, and said in a cold tone, "Let me ask you, what does the leader of the cannibal gang look like?"
The cold blade touched her skin, and the woman trembled with fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head desperately, making incoherent sounds for mercy.
"Don't tell?" A cold light flashed in Zhou Shuwan's eyes, and the dagger gently scratched the woman's skin, and a trace of blood oozed out.
The woman cried out in pain and begged for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you... Please, don't kill me..."
"Speak!" Zhou Shuwan urged sternly.
The woman sobbed and described the cannibal gang leader's physical characteristics in a disjointed manner: "She...she is not tall, very thin...her hair is very short...she is not very good-looking."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Shuwan's face in horror, afraid that she might not be detailed enough and annoy her.
Zhou Shuwan turned to look at Chen Fen: "Sister Fen, is there anyone studying art in your team?"
Chen Fen thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Xiaoya studied fine arts at University and is very good at drawing."
A female team member named Xiaoya was quickly called over.
Zhou Shuwan took out a notebook and pen from his backpack and handed them to the other party.
Zhou Shuwan asked the woman to repeat it, and Xiaoya quickly started drawing.
Even though she hadn't painted for several years, her professional qualities as an art student allowed her to quickly find the feeling of sketching.
She looked focused, her pen moving quickly across the paper. In just a few minutes, a portrait of an ordinary-looking woman appeared on the paper.
"A little thinner...slightly higher cheekbones, thinner lips..." The woman looked at the portrait carefully and cautiously made suggestions for revisions.
Xiaoya revised the details several times based on her description until the woman nodded hesitantly: "This way it looks about 70% similar..."
Chen Fen immediately took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go find someone at the supermarket. Shu Wan, Ming Yu, I'll leave this place to you."
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu nodded and watched Chen Fen leave the storage room.
Not long after, Chen Fen came back and shook her head solemnly: "I didn't find it."
She handed the portrait to Zhou Shuwan and said, "I checked over two hundred people one by one, but none of them matched the person in the portrait."
Zhou Shuwan felt a sense of unease. So, the female leader had already escaped?
It was a really good trick. When Chen Fen was leading his men to escape, it was a time of chaos. He took advantage of the opportunity to sneak away without being discovered by anyone.
She suddenly thought of a possibility and looked at Qi Mingyu.
Qi Mingyu also thought of it, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"The most urgent task now is to find the cannibal gang leader who has escaped and the other cannibal gang strongholds."
He walked up to the bound woman and asked, "Tell me, are there any other strongholds?"
When the woman heard that the cannibal gang leader had escaped, she was obviously shaken, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to speak.
Qi Mingyu pulled out a dagger from his waist, pressed it against the woman's neck, and said in a cold tone, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you."
When he was acting with Zhou Shuwan, he was used to standing beside her, protecting her and letting her make the decisions.
He did not speak during the interrogation and seemed to be a very taciturn person.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth so suddenly, a strong murderous intent came over him.
The woman trembled with fear and cried out for mercy, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you... Please, don't kill me... I know there is indeed a stronghold... and there is a small team stationed there."
She told the location.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu did not dare to delay. They asked Xiaoya to watch the woman and immediately got on their motorcycle and sped towards the address provided by the woman named Li Yan.
However, when they arrived at their destination, they found it empty and all the belongings had been moved out, clearly having been evacuated in advance. "Everyone inside has already evacuated," Qi Mingyu said in a low voice, looking at the empty room.
