Not Mentally Prepared

On the ground not far from the truck was the body of a young woman. The expression on that corpse was filled pain and agony and at ther point its skin had already started to rot. Her limbs were twisted at awkward angles and her chest was cut open all the way down to her stomach exposing her white ribcage. Her internal organs were missing, and the body emitted a strong stench that attracted a swarm of flies. Maggots wriggled about as it feasted on the rotting flesh.

Seeing ther horrible scene, Fan Xiaoying's legs went soft. She fell back onto the floor of the truck with her face covered in cold sweat and covered her mouth to stop herself from vomiting.

She suddenly recalled the radio broadcast that she had vaguely heard from within the truck and instantly realized that her current predicament was worse than what she had thought it was ——– There isn't just an ordinary kidnapper. There is a crazy murderer. If she doesn't escape.....only death awaits her!

Alarm bells went off like crazy inside Fan Xiaoying and her mind went almost completely blank. She only had that one thought in her mind. Despite the desire to escape, her body couldn't cooperate. She trembled violently and every muscle in her body was stiff to the point that she couldn't even make the simplest of movements.

"Creak———Thunk!"

At that moment, the truck stopped at the center of the courtyard and she heard the forceful noise as the truck door was slammed shut. The heavy crunch of footsteps against the gravel on the floor could be heard, alarming Fan Xiaoying who was still in a state of deep panic and allowing her to restore a bit of her reason.

It was just one person's footsteps. It probably belonged to the driver. There probably was just that person alone in the car; the murderous maniac, but that also doesn't mean that there aren't any other accomplices inside the building...…

These thoughts flashed through Fan Xiaoying's mind, but she didn't have the time to think too deeply into it. She immediately hid the rope that she had cut apart behind her and returned to the position that she was in when she woke up initially. She closed her eyes and suppressed the trembling of her body as she pretended to still be out cold. She hoped that like this, she could allow the other person to lower his guard and find an opportunity to get away.

"Clack, clack...…."

A dark shadow moved around slowly under the pale light. One by one, the terrifying sound of her footsteps seemed as if it was stepping onto Fan Xiaoying's heart. The hands hidden behind her stiffened up and she did her best to suppress her quickened breathing to hide the fact that she was awake.

The dark shadow moved over to the front of the cage door. Fan Xiaoying peeked out though a small opening in one eye and was stunned. The driver's body was even well-built than she had imagined. He was almost two meters tall and his figure was like those of a brown bear. With just one hand, he could easily render her dead.

...…How is she going to escape like this?!

Fan Xiaoying was a little at loss. At that moment, the driver opened the door with a key. With a loud creak, the door to the cage was opened and he held onto the metal frame on the side before jumping onto the truck. The moment he got onto the truck, the entire truck sank down.

Seeing that the driver was getting closer and closer, Fan Xiaoying's nerves were extremely tense and she could no longer hold back. She quickly rolled over and jumped up before proceeding to try and slip through the gap on side of the driver to escape.

She had originally thought that the driver was large built so his reactions would probably be slow, and he wouldn't be able to immediately turn around in such a narrow space to chase her. But what she didn't expect was that the driver didn't even need to turn around and just directly threw her arms back to hit her in the head and render her unconscious. Her body softened up and she collapsed directly to the ground.

...…It's over.

That was the last thought that went through Fan Xiaoying's mind before she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Fan Xiaoying almost couldn't open her eyes because the light before her was too glaring. She later noticed the hard sensation behind her and guessed that she was probably tied up against a wall.

For a moment, Fan Xiaoying was in daze and thought that she was probably still at her dormitory and that everything that had happened earlier was just a nightmare. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the suffocating smell of blood around her reminded her that she was still in the same place as before. She could also feel metal rings around both her arms and legs that pinned her up against the wall.

At that moment, something warm suddenly fell onto her face. It was someone else's finger. Fan Xiaoying wasn't mentally prepared for this and instantly let out a shriek which she immediately regretted afterwards. No longer able to continue pretending to be unconscious, she could only fearfully open her eyes.
