Chapter 99 - 99 10 Female Captive and Interrogation Part 1

99: Chapter 10: Female Captive and Interrogation (Part 1) 99: Chapter 10: Female Captive and Interrogation (Part 1) Tang Zheng’s attack was sudden and purposeful, remembering that the girl held a bomb in her hand.

The moment he leaped out of the tent, he grabbed her two wrists with maximum speed, exerting enough force to almost break them.

Almost involuntarily, the girl loosened her hands, the circular bomb falling onto the sand.

Caught by sudden attack, the girl squealed sharply like a startled wild cat and raised her knee, fiercely thrusting it towards Tang Zheng, employing the most basic anti-wolf technique.

Coincidentally, Tang Zheng’s head collided with the girl’s forehead first, tipping her head backwards with a daze, seeing stars.

The dizzy sensation instantly overwhelmed her and she involuntarily fell backwards.

The thrust against Tang Zheng weakened significantly.

Tang Zheng twisted his body a little to take the brunt of the attack on his outer thigh.

He initially assumed that a girl wouldn’t have much strength, but the pain made him grit his teeth.

Thud!

Both of them fell onto the sand.

The girl hadn’t quite come to her senses yet.

She felt a man pressing on her and tried to struggle but her body was pinned down.

“She is just as strong as an adult man.

Could it be that a larger chest means greater strength?” Tang Zheng contemplated while looking at the girl underneath him.

He saw an ordinary body, but the large chest was an unusual sight, yet this should be unrelated to strength.

With her face flushed, the girl was panting due to Tang Zheng lying on top of her, a strange sensation rising from within.

Tang Zheng noticed her too, but he didn’t lose his mental orientation.

Resolutely, he sat upright on her abdomen.

The girl’s hands were pressed hard at both sides of her head.

The cold, damp sand underneath aroused goosebumps all over her skin.

However, this was the least of her concerns as she was horrified to find the man sitting on her was reaching into her clothes, fumbling around.

“What are you doing, let me go!” The girl tried to shake Tang Zheng’s hands off, her body twisting more forcefully.

“Keep quiet, or I will rape you,” Tang Zheng yelled and slapped her face.

He didn’t use much force, just enough to scare her.

Tang Zheng figured from her hesitation to use the bomb that she likely had a compliant personality.

Sure enough, hearing such harsh words and receiving a slap, she finally stopped struggling, whimpering instead.

Tang Zheng apologized in his heart but continued his action without pause, his quest merely to confirm that she had no hidden weapons.

However, she felt quite good to touch.

“Please let me go!” The girl began to plead, her voice saturated with desperation.

“As soon as I confirm you’re not dangerous, you’ll be free,” Tang Zheng pulled his hand out of her short-sleeved chiffon shirt, tore off her satchel bag strapped around her waist, then began to take off her skirt as he was still suspicious.

“What are you doing?

Please spare me, I beg you!” the girl sobbed loudly as she felt her pleated skirt being pulled down.

Gazing at the girl’s slender waist in front of him, Tang Zheng felt he may have crossed a line, though he had to ensure there was no danger.

“Turn over,” although it sounded like a request, Tang Zheng didn’t offer much time for consideration.

Swiftly, he turned her face down and took out a prepared rope to bind her hands behind her back.

Her face buried in the sand, a bit of it entered her mouth.

She spat it out, then worried that Tang Zheng might misconstrue it as her cursing him, so she stopped spitting abruptly.

“Does it hurt?” When the girl responded that it did hurt, Tang Zheng loosened the rope a bit out of sympathy.

“Are you alone?” After tying her ankles, Tang Zheng helped her to sit up and kindly moved her closer to the campfire.

The girl seemed resigned, not resisting much, just gazing blankly at Tang Zheng.

“Are you alone?

Do you have any other companions?” Tang Zheng asked again.

Having done all this, he stood up and surveyed his surroundings.

He guessed the girl must be alone, otherwise, upon seeing her in danger, her companion would have already shown up.

The girl remained silent but shook her head.

“How far did you travel to get here?” Tang Zheng remembered that this girl wasn’t among the first dozen or so people who parachuted near the beach yesterday.

This implied that she may have gotten lost and subsequently made her appearance here.

What he now needed to confirm was the time it took her to reach the beach, which would provide a rough estimate of the size of Death Island.

The girl continued shaking her head, prompting Tang Zheng to sigh, berating himself for asking a too technical question which the girl couldn’t possibly have the answer to.

“You jumped with most of the people, right?

How long did it take you to get here?” Of course, this question also needed an answer.

If the girl could make it here, that implied others might too.

However, Tang Zheng decided to change his way of questioning.

“Those people were fighting, there were bodies and blood everywhere,” the girl shivered at the horrible memory, then continued, “I was scared, so I ran, but I got lost.

I didn’t know which way to go and just kept walking in the forest.

It was only when night fell, I saw a bonfire on the beach.

I, I just wanted to find something to eat.” She answered timidly, her eyes instinctively landing on the grilled fish lying on the sand, swallowing back saliva.

For her, who hadn’t eaten anything all day, even these cold grilled fish were a delicacy.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Her stomach grumbled, which sounded extraordinarily loud on the empty beach.

Her face turned red, and she lowered her head.

“Lift up your head, look at me.” Tang Zheng commanded in an unquestionable tone, “Don’t make me say it a second time.”

On hearing his words, tears started rolling down her cheeks again, plopping onto the sand.

“Hungry, right?

Here is a piece of chocolate.” A slap followed by a date.

Tang Zheng understood this principle well.

There were still many questions to ask, so alternating hardness with softness seemed apt when dealing with his first captive in order to extract her full worth.

“Chocolate?” Seeing Tang Zheng pulling out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapping it and offering it for her to eat, the girl’s face lit up with joy.

However, she refrained from immediately eating it, responding instead with, “I, I don’t have anything to give you in return.”
