Under the moonlight

Chapter 160: The Torture Continues

Chapter 160 Continue the Torture

Huang Meng sat alone outside the tent, gazing at the starry sky, even the mysterious and dreamlike Milky Way was clearly visible, but she was in no mood to appreciate it. "Xu Ao, how are you?"

Xu Ao, who was hanging in the building, slowly woke up, but it would have been better if he hadn't woken up at all. Once his consciousness returned, he could clearly feel the intense pain coming from all parts of his body. In addition, his position made it difficult for him to lift his head. His head was drooping, his eyes were bloodshot, and his head was heavy and dizzy. He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

As his eyes gradually adjusted to the blurry view, he tried to look up at the men on the floor. They were curled up in a ball, motionless, and he didn't know what was going on. He tried to lift his head up a little more, but this movement aggravated the injury on his back, and a sharp pain made him groan.

However, he still glanced at the hall and saw that there didn't seem to be any mercenaries guarding it. Perhaps they thought that a hanging man and several dying men on the ground were not worth their attention.

Xu Ao tried to regulate his breathing, making sure his movements didn't aggravate his pain. Once his body was more stable and balanced, he opened his eyes and tried to wake the person on the ground.

"Hey, wake up, wake up!" He saw a man on the ground open his eyes and look at him, but he looked like he was too frightened and lost his soul. His eyes were no longer bright and his gaze could not be focused. As soon as he woke up, he started to tremble and his hands kept shaking on both sides of his head.

Seeing his expression, Xu Ao sighed, then raised his voice slightly, "Wake up, wake up quickly." His voice wasn't loud, but it was still a bit jarring in the empty hall. Fortunately, this time the other three men also looked at him.

"Help me lower the rope, and we'll go out together," Xu Ao said quickly, seeing that the three men were still somewhat conscious.

But after he finished speaking, they just stared at him blankly without making any move. Even their leader had a dazed expression, as if he had lost his soul.

Xu Ao looked at them, puzzled. Did they not want to escape? Or were they too afraid to run away after being beaten? Xu Ao frowned and stared at them, and soon he had his answer.

The men were huddled together, but suddenly they seemed to sense something and began to move to the side. As they moved, Xu Ao could see that their legs were useless and they could only move to one side by supporting themselves with their hands. One of them had his legs completely turned to the side, with his knees and toes pointing towards his left hand.

As the group moved away, Xu Ao saw the pile of excrement on the ground. Coupled with the blank expressions on their faces, Xu Ao's heart sank. They were ruined, not only physically, but their spirits had also collapsed.

They moved to another spot and huddled together again, staring blankly into a certain place. Looking at them, a wave of self-reproach and helplessness almost overwhelmed him. Xu Ao lowered his head in sorrow, murmuring, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have brought you back sooner, I'm sorry."

"Ah, my friend, you're awake! That's great. We can have some fun in the second half of the night. With you, the night is no longer so boring, haha~" Saudi Arabia stood on the second-floor steps at some point, looking at Xu Ao's back with a sinister smile.

"Release them. They're no longer of any use to you. Anyway, I'm already in your hands. Let them go back." Xu Ao had no way to turn around, so he could only stare at the ground and say in a deep voice.

“Fine, they’ve been played with too much, they’re not fun anymore. I’ll have someone send them to your embassy right now. But you’d better think it over, your fate won’t be any better than theirs.” Saudi Arabia walked up to Xu Ao, leaned close to his ear, and grinned as he spoke.

Xu Ao turned his head to the side, ignoring his threat. Seeing the state of those men, he was glad that Chen Che and the others hadn't come over. Otherwise, he would have preferred to kill him rather than watch them end up like that.

Saudi Arabia stared intently at Xu Ao, as if reading his mind. With a sinister grin, he said, "Ah, I wonder what your friends are doing? Sleeping? Why aren't they coming to rescue you? That way we could have a few more toys, especially that... hmm, pretty girl next to you~"

"Shut up! If you dare touch them, I'll drag you down with me even if it kills me. You'll see!" Xu Ao raised his head and stared fiercely at Saudi Arabia. The bloodshot in his eyes made him look like a trapped beast. If given the chance, Saudi Arabia would definitely bite him hard. That's exactly how Saudi Arabia felt.

The feeling of being threatened made him very uncomfortable. He chuckled, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and struck Xu Ao on the forehead with the butt of the gun. He used all his strength, and the blow caused Xu Ao to lose consciousness immediately. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and forehead to the ground. The bright red seemed to excite Sha Te even more. He grabbed a bucket of ice water and splashed it on Xu Ao. The cold stimulation brought his consciousness back to his body instantly. His bloodshot eyes made it difficult for him to see clearly, and he didn't know whether the bright red stain on the ground was from his own bloodshot eyes or his own blood.

Saudi Arabia grabbed Xu Ao's hair forcefully. Because his arms had been bound behind his back for so long, the forceful lifting of his head caused him considerable pain, and Xu Ao couldn't help but scream. This seemed to excite Saudi Arabia even more: "Haha, weren't you supposed to be fearless of pain? Why can't you hold back? It'll be even more comfortable later, enjoy it slowly." After saying this, Saudi Arabia slammed Xu Ao's head down, stabilizing his body, placed an apple on his head, then took his pistol and, from ten meters away, began firing at the apple.

Of course, he did this purely to torment Xu Ao's will; anyone facing a bullet would have an innate fear of it.

Especially those uncertain, unknown, death omens.

After five shots, the apple finally shattered on the ground. Saudi Arabia looked at the pale-faced Xu Ao and said with a smug smile, "Friend, how was my marksmanship? Haha~"

Xu Ao's lips trembled as he remained silent, his head drooping helplessly. Saudi Arabia stared at him for a while, then summoned two mercenaries who released Xu Ao. Suddenly freed from his restraints, Xu Ao could only lie on the floor, gritting his teeth as he moved his stiff arms. Finally, amidst a sharp, aching pain, he regained feeling in his arms, but also experienced unprecedented agony.

He struggled to sit up, but he felt no relief. He knew Saudi Arabia wouldn't let him off so easily.

Sure enough, Saudi Arabia slowly walked up to him, squatted down, looked at him, and said, "Do you want to know how their legs were broken?"
