The car drove on until night fell and they reached an isolated base. The base was small, guarded by twenty to thirty men, and they were very happy when they saw that the car had a woman in it. The fat leader examined every inch of Liana's body and nodded satisfactorily. "This one's not bad; that kind of Western beauty always fetches a good price. Auction tomorrow. Okay, you guys did a good job this time!", A thin man who had been salivating at Liana during the car ride asked lewdly. "Boss, can the boys have a little taste before the auction?" "No, her body is too fragile. Will you pay if she breaks? However, there are some that are in quite useful condition, your whole class can choose! But remember not to overdo this. "The boss rejected it immediately. "Thank you, boss ..." The group of men cheered. After that, they grabbed Liana and pushed her into a room. They threw her into a corner, then, like a pack of hungry wolves, they lunged at the other women there. As if sensing th
"Good move!", The short haired woman complimented, and Liana nodded as she examined the women's room and said. "Now is the perfect chance for us to escape, follow me if you want to live." She then turned to look out the door to check her surroundings. She had no idea who had attacked the base, but all the guards were sent out to deal with the attackers, and there were gunshots all around and the sound of rushing footsteps. Liana looked at the short-haired woman, and after confirming that there was no one around, they ran out of the room. At that moment a large man came running towards them. Liana's expression changed and she unconsciously cocked her gun. "It's a friend!", The short haired woman said cheerfully, she waved to the man, who saw her and increased his pace. "Wolf, is the group here to rescue me?", The short haired woman grabbed the man's arm and asked excitedly, "That's right Ali, are you okay?", The man named Lobo nodded. "I'm fine, we have to go now before the reinf
This was probably the most valuable thing on the base, it was kept locked inside a large steel chest. Wolf shot the steel lock and put a lot of explosives in his backpack. "Great, we have explosives!", Ali saw this and exclaimed. "Someone is coming!", To her surprise, at that moment, Liana threw a gun at her. The screen showed a man approaching the surveillance room, he probably sensed that something went wrong, so he went back to do a check. Ali grabbed the gun in his hands and smiled. "Perfect, I'm looking forward to some action too!", Ali tossed the headset to Liana and went to prepare for an ambush. Liana naturally put on the microphone and took charge. Fortunately, Wolf and his gang had already heard Liana's voice in the background when Ali was speaking, so they weren't surprised by the change, and Liana didn't worry about the approaching man, she concentrated on commanding and operating the computers. The man outside heard Liana's voice and came in brandishing his gun. He y
"Liana, just say that you will join us, even if we can't promise you a life of luxury, we can guarantee your basic security!", Ali, who had a good impression of Liana, insisted to her. "This group will only grow in the future, and at that point you will be proud to call yourselves the founding members.", Sam added. "I can join as a temporary member, but I need your help.", Liana nodded. "What kind of help, tell us.", Ali said cheerfully. "I have a friend ...," Liana recounted the whole thing with the plane. "I have no idea if he's alive or dead, so I need your help to find out." "No problem, we'll help you ask around!", Sam promised with a bump on his chest. "I hope this is done as soon as possible, because I need to find him soon, and I will provide the money involved, of course, that's not a problem," Liana emphasized. "This requires some money, but we won't steal your money, as most of it will be used to grease some hands," Sam thought about it and said. "How much?", Liana
"Has it been a day since I slept?", Liana asked as she sat up with some difficulty. "That's right, the doctor said your body is fine; you have some internal injuries, but nothing serious. Now that you're awake, I'll get you something to eat.", Ali said before closing the door, and quickly returned with some food. It was a simple and rather crude meal, two slices of plain bread, two slices of ham, and a glass of milk. Liana had no appetite for anything, but to preserve her strength, she ate the food with great gusto and without complaint, and Ali smiled. "I am glad you have finished everything, it seems that you are really getting better. Rest for a few more days, this place is our territory, so no one will hurt you here." "There...," Liana wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a man shouting outside. "Members of SamWolf come here! I know you can hear me, all of you come out and face me!" "That bunch of rats are back again?", Ali frowned. "Who are they?", Liana aske
"Men, attack! Kill them all!", Ryan was annoyed at his stubbornness. With a grit in his teeth, he ran at Sam. Things quickly became chaotic. Since Ryan's men began their offensive, there was no reason for Sam's gang to hold back. Sam's gang had a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but each of them was very well trained, they could take on more than a handful each, and that evened out the battle. Ali pulled Liana back as she kicked an opponent, and advised her in a loud voice. "Stay close to me, I'll protect you!", When she said that, five guys came at them. "Fuck!", Ali cursed as she entered the fray. However, she was a woman and was slowly getting overwhelmed, and one of the men approached her with a baton and by the time Ali noticed him it was too late, the baton fell on Ali, suddenly a machine gun hit the man's head, knocking him out. Ali looked at the attacker with surprise and saw Liana with her usual calm demeanor. "I'm not as helpless as you might think," Liana said as
"General, you also know that we are not all born for greatness, so we are of course useless in your bright eyes,", This greatly satisfied Barron's ego. "Since you know you are useless, then you should be smart and leave this place now, this house already belongs to the Gray Rats. If not, I can't tell you what will happen next!", His face softened and said. "But...," Ali wanted to say something, but Liana tugged at her sleeve, and Ali turned around with a confused look. Liana shook her head slightly, telling Ali not to do anything. For some reason, Ali decided to follow Liana's advice, and Sam came to the same conclusion: staying alone would put them in a worse fate. Even though they didn't want to lose the house, their lives were more important. "All right, general, we're leaving now, but please allow us to collect our things, and can you please return our weapons?" "Leave everything behind!", Barron dismissed him outright. "Everything? Our weapons...," Sam was stunned. "Not jus
"They must be on some kind of profit-based contract," Liana suddenly replied. That was the only logical explanation. "You're right," Cairn nodded. "But what kind of contract would that be? The Gray Rats are poorer than us.", Ali said, confused. "No matter what it is, there must be something between them. Regardless, this is no time to worry about the others. It is obvious that this is not the last time we will see Barron, so what will we do in the future ?", Sam said worriedly. "I see that Barron will not let Liana go so easily either, I feel that he will try something sooner or later.",Ali had another concern. His words brought the atmosphere to an all-time low, the group looked at Liana, and Sam warned her. "Liana, you have to be careful, because the women Barron has his eye on do not end well." "The man is a disgusting pig, and the women he takes away never get good treatment," Ali added. "But don't be too worried, we will protect you, after all, you are one of us now, and
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t
"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.
At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo
"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y
"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
