Chapter 281: Terrifying Man

Recalling the middle-aged captain’s arrogance when he was first brought in by the soldiers, Tan Wei snorted and asked, "Where are the arrogance and courage you used to look down on us just now? Weren’t you very brave when you first came in? Why are you suddenly begging for mercy now? Doesn’t your face hurt?"

After saying that, Tan Wei paused for a second, and then said as if he just remembered something: "Ah, I forgot how shameless you are. Since you can even call Captain Teng as an elder brother, then there must be no problem for you to lick your saliva back after you spit it out. Sure enough, a shameless person is invincible."

Hearing Tan Wei’s vicious words, the middle-aged captain could only grit his teeth and smile bitterly: "Elder Brother, what are you talking about? This small one will never look down on you."

Tan Wei was disgusted with the tone in which the middle-aged captain spoke to him. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and said in disgust: "Can you stop talking like a eunuch? Besides, you are old enough to be my uncle. How shameless are you that you dare to call yourself my younger brother?"

Looking at the middle-aged captain’s face that already turned red because of anger, Teng Bai thought to himself: ’I don’t think there is a need to torture him. Considering how poisonous Brother Tan’s mouth is, if this person talks to Brother Tan for a few more minutes, he will have a stroke and die on the spot for sure.’

Thinking of this, Teng Bai coughed and said, "Brother Tan, it’s time for us to start doing serious business."

Hearing what he said, Tan Wei glared at the middle-aged captain and said in dissatisfaction: "Look at the good things you did! Your shameless behavior made me forget my job!"

Being wronged by Tan Wei, the middle-aged captain felt his eyes darken for a split second. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and thought: ’I have to stay calm. These people are too cunning. They even knew how to use emotionally damaging tactics on me. I must be careful not to pay attention to that poisonous man’s words.’

After calming down, the middle-aged captain opened his eyes, looked at Teng Bai, and said, "I will tell you everything, but then you need to let me go."

Teng Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him and asked, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me in your current situation? What makes you think you are worthy of negotiating with me?"

Knowing that his only value is knowing the woman, the middle-aged captain sneered and said, "You need me to find that person."

After a moment of silence, Teng Bai walked to the charcoal stove next to the metal cross. While playing with the iron rod, he said slowly: "I have many ways to make you tell me everything willingly. For example, grilling meat."

Hearing what Teng Bai said and seeing him pick up the red-hot iron rod with a slight smile on his face, the middle-aged captain swallowed his saliva in fear. Recalling the screams he heard when he was locked in the small prison room, the middle-aged captain knew that he had to make a wise choice. Whether to tell everything without torture, or to be forced to tell everything after being tortured, all will depend on his next choice.

Teng Bai was silent for a long time, then glanced at him, and said, "I know you are a smart person and know what your best choice is at this moment."

Hearing Teng Bai’s words, the middle-aged man closed his eyes in despair. He knew what he would choose without having to think about his options. Either be killed by that woman in the future, or be tortured now, he had only one choice from the beginning.

Opening his eyes, the middle-aged captain looked at Teng Bai and said in defeat: "Fine. I will tell you."

Putting the iron rod back into the charcoal stove, Teng Bai turned to look at him and said calmly: "Tell me, who hired you and others to make trouble in our base. What is your purpose in coming to our base? What do you want to achieve, even at the cost of becoming our enemy?"

When the middle-aged captain heard his questions, he was too shocked to react in time. Before he came to his senses, Ji Yang said with a smile: "So you indeed have something that you want by entering our base."

After speaking, Ji Yang thought for a while, then observed the middle-aged captain’s expression and small movements carefully, and said, "Let me guess. There are only a few things in our base that you can only get after entering our base. One of them is the secret of our temperature control system, and the other one is the high-ranked zombies."

As soon as the word ’zombie’ came out of his mouth, Ji Yang noticed that the middle-aged captain’s pupils constricted as he quickly lowered his head to hide his surprise.

After taking a sip of water calmly, Ji Yang looked at Teng Bai and said, "Captain Teng, they are here to catch those high-ranked zombies. I think the secret organization is the mastermind behind them since they are the only ones who are interested in the high-ranked zombies. We just need to find out who the middleman is, then we can find out the details of their real plans."

After hearing what he said, the middle-aged captain raised his eyes to look at Ji Yang, and asked in horror: "How can you know everything without me telling you everything?"

Ji Yang smiled at him and said, "I don’t need your answer. I can get the answers to my questions just by observing you."

After hearing his answer, the middle-aged captain trembled slightly as he thought to himself: ’What a terrifying man.’
