Chapter One: The Beginning Unfolds

  "Jie sister, you have to hold on, we'll be rescued soon."

  Su Yuting supported Mu Ya, and the two of them walked hastily towards the front, more like walking than running; at this time, Mu Ya was unable to exert any strength, relying entirely on Su Yuting's support to move forward, while speaking words of comfort that sounded insincere. Mu Ya even twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself: you're just a lucky little girl who hasn't grown up yet, and you really think that like in TV shows, a white knight will appear at the last minute to save you; without experiencing the harsh realities of society, you always live in your own fantasies.

  "Don't run, it's futile to struggle, hurry up and surrender..."

  "Get out of the way, all of you! You've delayed Master Tu's business and now every single one of you will suffer!"

  As the shouting voice got closer and closer, Su Yuting became more tense, involuntarily turning her small head to look back, her face suddenly changing color.

  A group of people, several arrogant men shouting and chasing after the two girls in front, wherever they passed were crowds, but not a single person appeared to be righteous and brave, not even those who followed up to watch the excitement, they just avoided far away, they simply didn't dare!

  The three words "Tu Gongzi" had a tremendous deterrent effect on their minds.

  No matter whether it's their own strength, or the numerous awakened ones and hundreds of armed subordinates under them, nor is their relationship with the military in the current crowd something they can afford to provoke; what's more, this powerful person is a madman with a twisted personality, vengeful and ruthless to the extreme, making people shudder at the mere mention of his name, as if there were a thousand pounds of pressure weighing on everyone's hearts, not daring to make any rash moves.

  "You can't escape!"

  Su Yuting looked at the situation, herself supporting Mu Yu but getting heavier and harder to walk, she was about to exhaust her strength, with anxious eyes scanning around, as if searching for reinforcements. At this time, she also realized that the current situation was not as good as she had imagined in her heart. Her big eyes were terrified, filled with tears, as if they would flow out at any moment. She seemed to have thought of the scene after being caught, her face suddenly turned pale, almost desperate, and her footsteps stumbled, nearly causing both people to fall to the ground.

  Save me! Who can save me?

  Su Yuting was so eager for her white knight to appear immediately, help her defeat the bad guys behind and rescue herself from the devil's hands. But reality is cruel, her eyes full of longing, pleading, and despair scanned the crowd around her, only to see people scatter and avoid her like a plague, as if her gaze had some kind of special power.

  Su Yuting was desperately seeking help, hoping that her white knight would appear and grab the last straw to save herself. However, no one was willing to respond, no one was willing to give her this last straw; at this time, she longed for someone to stand out like a god, rescue herself, and then live a fulfilling life with him, just like in fairy tales.

  But reality is always cruel, shattering her dreams and illusions.

  "Halt! Don't run."

  ……

  Listening to the increasingly close, almost behind her shouting threats, Su Yuting still remained unmoved; even though she knew that the other party had a strong influence in this crowd and she had almost no way out, she still did not give up, nor could she give up, nor dare to give up. As a girl growing up in today's society, exposed to all sorts of social phenomena, even if she hadn't been tempered by society, she accepted that women's bodies were exchangeable, and selling one's own body wasn't a big deal! That was also her advantage and capital, just like ability, education, and connections. Since they could be utilized to choose something better, why not utilize them well? Why choose something worse? Wouldn't that be stupid...

  But to make her face such a crazy pervert, she didn't want to get involved, let alone suffer the various rumored tortures, and be insulted by more people, she could accept using her body in exchange for a better future, but that doesn't mean she can accept being insulted by so many men, it's two different things.

  Su Yuting supported the injured Yu Jie, feeling that her strength was getting smaller and smaller, and her body was getting heavier and heavier on herself; however, she did not give up on her, nor did she complain. When everyone else betrayed her, only Yu Jie remained by her side, accompanying her, even when caught, she didn't abandon her...

  Suddenly, Su Yuting had just lifted her head and saw that the front was just the outer edge of the fleeing crowd. Her eyes lit up, as long as she escaped, escaped to the outside, she didn't believe the other party would risk being attacked by mutated monsters to chase herself; her footsteps resolutely stepped forward, although they might have to face the attack of those monsters and risk their lives at that time, but as long as there was an opportunity, she didn't want to be caught by the other party. She dared not imagine what kind of outcome awaited her afterwards.

  Mu Yu, who was being supported, looked at Su Yuting's direction of progress, her face changed as if she knew the other party's plan, and said in her heart, "Yuting, don't blame sister for being ruthless, sister has no choice but to be forced."

  Good grief!

  Mu Yu, who was being supported, suddenly didn't know what happened and fell to the ground again, also tripping Su Yuting, who was supporting her, to the ground. The two people rolled to the ground at the same time...

  "Haha...... Run! Why aren't you running anymore?"

  The soldiers looked at the two women who had fallen to the ground, becoming even more arrogant and loud, slowing down their pace, panting, but they didn't dare to insult them now because no one knew what would happen to these women in the future. If they were to offend her while standing by Lord Tu's side, they would definitely suffer consequences later on. The pillow talk in this world was razor-sharp, and they all understood this well.

  It's done!

  Su Yuting was thrown to the ground, her mind went blank, and she thought, is it really over this time? Who, who can save me, I don't want to be caught by that crazy pervert. Now, whoever saves me, I'll marry him, let me do whatever he wants... Oh God, please...

  It seems like God has really revealed himself...

  When Su Yuting endured the pain and lifted her head, she saw a group of people standing in front of her, looking extremely fierce and intimidating. Especially the tall figure at the front, wearing a ferocious and terrifying mask, carrying a massive weapon on his back that was even bigger than Yang Guo's heavy iron sword in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Hero". The sight made one dare not underestimate them. More importantly, unlike the previous crowd, they did not hastily retreat or make way, nor did they keep a safe distance, fearing to get into trouble for themselves. Instead, they stood there motionless, as if they didn't exist, each minding their own business.

  Su Yuting endured the pain and stood up, pulling Mu Ying who had fallen to the ground with all her might. They moved forward in a sorry state towards Liang Jing. Su Yuting had already given up on escaping into the wilderness outside because they were delayed by this fall and time was running out. Even if she struggled with all her might, she would only be able to run a few steps before being caught up. This was still due to the other party intentionally slowing down their pace! Similarly, she didn't cry out for help because past experiences had taught her that doing so would only result in the other party being scared away. The other party was now the last straw of hope in her heart, and she silently prayed, "Please don't leave, as long as you can save me, I will repay your kindness later."

  No, now Su Yuting's last straw is Liang Jing and the others; they just strolled around in the crowd a little while ago, thinking that it would be better not to clash with others and grab territory for the time being, and instead settle down on the periphery first. This way, they can avoid trouble and even gain some benefits for themselves, but they didn't expect trouble to come to them automatically.

  Huh?

  Liang Jing had actually seen the group of people chasing and fleeing from a distance, and now seeing the two women being chased in front of him falling to the ground in a strange and suspicious manner not far away, he felt a few points of doubt in his heart, furrowed his brow, and pondered silently: Could it be that these people have some sinister plot against himself? Was he discovered by Gou Gongzi as soon as he arrived? Or was it some other force or organization that caught their attention?

  Yes, the other party's extremely unconventional and abnormal wrestling move just now has raised suspicions in Liang Jing's heart. In this even more ruthless world where people are eating each other alive, no one knows what kind of sinister thoughts their fellow human beings might be harboring right in front of them. Moreover, Liang Jing is aware that there is a "great enemy" here, which makes him even more cautious.

  Splash!

  At this moment, the crowd on one side also reacted. With the tempering of this period of time, they almost instinctively drew their swords and grasped their guns. The entire team's momentum changed, revealing a sharp and murderous aura.

  "Oh no! Help me quickly, I'll do anything you want me to from now on..."

  Su Yuting looked at the reaction of the group of people on this side and became even more excited, and she loudly shouted for help without caring about anything.
