One of the men nodded in acknowledgment and took out a pair of insulated
gloves. He pulled a wire from the spotlight.
Then, he stuck it to Zhou Liang.
“All!”
Zhou Liang’s scream was not as intense as before, but his body convulsed uncontrollably under the electric current.
The entire process lasted a full five seconds.
Due to the different electrical standards, Panem’s voltage was no volts. If it had been Huaxia’s 220 volts, five seconds of current would have been enough to stop his heart.
“Keep going.”
After pausing for a few seconds, Grillo’s men stuck the wires to Zhou Liang’s body again.
“All!”
The scream came again, longer this time, lasting at least seven seconds.
When he stopped, Zhou Liang was already on the verge of death. His arm was charred black from electric burns.
Grillo walked towards Zhou Liang and looked down at him.
“You still don’t want to say it.”
Zhou Liang’s eyes were empty and lifeless. He lay motionless on the ground as if he was dead.
Grillo frowned. “What a tough nut to crack.”
“Boss, should we continue?” His subordinate asked.
“He’ll die if this goes on,” Grillo said.
“His leg is already crippled. There’s no point in keeping his other leg. Cripple
it.”
“Yes.”
The two subordinates did not hesitate. To them, this was very normal.
One of them held the gun in his hand and fired it at Zhou Liang’s left leg.
After giving his instructions, Grillo walked out of the warehouse and returned to the car.
He lit a cigar and leisurely listened to music.
He did not want to partic.i.p.ate in the interrogation anymore, so he handed it
over to his subordinates to handle.
For the next half hour, Zhou Liang’s screams filled the warehouse.
Gradually, the screams grew quieter until only the sounds of banging and thudding remained.
Other than that, no other sounds emerged.
Soon, another hour pa.s.sed.
During this time, the screams continued sporadically, each time growing softer until they eventually fell silent.
Red blood slowly seeped out from the gap beneath the warehouse door.
Clang…
The warehouse door was pushed open, and the subordinate who had first acted stepped out from inside.
“Did he say it?” Grillo turned off the music and asked his subordinate.
“No. We broke his limbs and pulled out his nails and teeth, but we didn’t say anything. I was afraid he’d die from the shock if I tried again, so I let him off for now.”
“You didn’t speak even after that?” Grillo sighed.
“No, notaword.”
“That unyielding Huaxian is really amazing.”
“It’s very likely that he’s from the Central Guards Brigade. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have such great endurance.”
“I’d already guessed that,” Grillo said dryly.
“What should we do next? The ore must be on his companion. The other paity hasn’t shown his face yet. I’m afraid that he will sneak away like before.”
“That shouldn’t be possible. This city is already surrounded, and the security outside the city is even tighter. It’s impossible for anyone to escape. I believe he’s still in the city, but we just don’t know where he’s hiding yet.” Grillo said.
” However, we can’t delay this matter for too long. We have to think of a way.
We have to either find that man or get the guy inside to speak!”
A few hours pa.s.sed, and the sky turned bright.
Cologne is located in the central region of Panem, facing the Sparrow Sea, and is a famous coastal city.
On the highway into the city was a white Land Rover with six people in it. Each
of them was staring in a different direction, as if they were looking for something.
Sitting in the pa.s.senger seat was Ning Che.
Ever since they confirmed that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade, Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo had separated.
Qiu Yuluo was in charge of creating a diversion and tricking the other party, creating the illusion that Lin Yi was still in Santos.
Ning Che, on the other hand, secretly headed to Cologne to pick up Lin Yi. “Is there any news from the headquarters?” Ning Che asked with a frown.
“Not yet. Boss Liu said that we’ve lost contact with Team Leader Lin again. We haven’t been able to contact him.”
“Ask the people stationed on the other roads if they’ve spotted any sign of Lin Yi.”
“We just asked them. There’s no news. The city is calm, and there’s no sign of anything unusual. If Team Leader Lin had entered the city, he would have found a way to signal us. It’s impossible that there’s no news at all.”
Ning Che lit a cigarette, her expression extremely grim.
Earlier, Zhou Liang had sent a message saying he would head to Cologne early.
It’s been over ten hours since then, and even at a slow pace, he should have reached Cologne by now.
Lin Yi was a very cautious person and wouldn’t make mistakes in such matters. The fact that there’s no news and they’ve lost contact with headquarters was not a good sign.
It indicated that Lin Yi couldn’t send a signal. In other words, he might have fallen into danger again.
Moreover, every road leading to Cologne had their people monitoring it. If Lin Yi had really come, they wouldn’t have missed him.
“Lin Yi said before that he’s in Chepopur, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
After thinking for a few seconds, Ning Che made a bold decision.
“Inform Team 6 to continue guarding this place. The rest of you, follow me back to Chepopur!”
“Go back? Boss Liu asked us to stay here and receive Team Leader Lin. Without his orders, can we go back like this?”
“I have a bad feeling that something might happen if we wait any longer. Just listen to me. Hurry back to Chepopur as quick as possible!”
“Okay!”
Not long after Ning Che and the others left, a black Raptor stopped at the side of the highway that led into the city.
The two pickup trucks parked together, one in front of the other. Song Jinmin got out of the truck, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. At the same time, the men from the other pickup truck also got out.
One of them was a burly man, wearing a black tank top and army green camouflage pants. His muscles were taut and powerful, like steel ready to explode with energy.
On his right arm, there was a tattoo of the number 6 in Arabic numerals, with a spade symbol next to it.
His name was Frank, code-named Six of Spades.
Originally, Song Jinmin and Lin Jingzhan were both on Tilia Island, but after something happened to Lin Yi, they sent him back.
At the same time, twelve of his subordinates returned.
“How’s the situation? Is there any news from the city?” Song Jinmin asked.
“There’s no news at all. I don’t think he’s here.”
Song Jinmin looked at his watch and muttered expressionlessly.
“It’s been so long. Why isn’t he here yet?”
Suddenly, Song Jinmin’s expression changed. He turned around and got into the car.
“Inform everyone below to return to Chepopur!
