These people were all tied up and had no way to walk over by themselves. As soon as Zuo Mingdong finished speaking, two men walked out from behind him and carried the man out.
Du Yue, tie Xing, Shen Teng, and the others were waiting in the meeting room. The meeting room had been cleaned up, and there was a comfortable leather sofa. Soon, they heard footsteps approaching. They subconsciously looked at the door and saw Zuo Mingdong and the others walking in with a man.
After entering the meeting room, the two men threw the man on the ground. Of course, they would not show mercy. The man fell heavily to the ground and cried out. Zuo Mingdong and the other two sat down. No one cared about his situation.
The man waited nervously for a long time, but no one spoke. Hence, he mustered up his courage. “This floor is too uncomfortable. Can you release me? Let me sit on the sofa and I’ll tell you all the details. In any case, this room is filled with your people. I’m alone, so 1 can’t pose any threat to you.”
Zuo Mingdong frowned unhappily. “Don’t try to play any tricks. If you don’t want to live, the 20 other people in the room can replace you at any time.” Zuo Mingdong was telling the truth. They could get the information from anyone, not necessarily the man on the ground.
The moment Zuo Mingdong finished speaking, that person’s expression instantly changed as he begged for mercy repeatedly. “I was wrong! 1 know I was wrong, Captain Zuo! 1 was just joking with you. Actually, lying on the ground is also pretty good! What do you want to know?”
Zuo Mingdong narrowed his eyes dangerously. “You’re still not obedient even when death is near. It seems like you’ve lived enough. Since that’s the case, I’ll choose another person to replace you!”
As soon as Zuo Mingdong finished speaking, the two people beside him stood up and strode toward the person on the ground. Seeing the two people approaching him aggressively, the person on the ground no longer dared to spout nonsense.
“I’ll talk! I’m willing to say anything! Please don’t replace me!” He knew very well that if he was chased back this time, he would really die.
Feeling uneasy, he did not dare to lie anymore. He could only obediently tell them everything he knew.
“Actually, we haven’t been staying here for long. We only came to this coal mine after it was getting darker and darker.” At the mention of this, the man looked at Zuo Mingdong guiltily. “We thought that the coal resources here were rich, and it must be much better than living outside, so we moved here.”
Zuo Mingdong could not tell whether he was happy or angry. “What about the original people in the coal mine? There must have been a lot of people living in such a big mine. Why are they all gone now?”
“They…” The man stammered, but when he saw the two strong men standing beside him, he said, “We killed whoever resisted. Those who were willing to listen are all locked in the warehouse at the back. We’ve grown a lot of new varieties of food here, and we need people to take care of them. We also need people to dig the coal mine, we kept them.”
“How many people are left?”
“There should be more than a hundred of them.”
“What did you guys do before this?”
“We’re from the same base and moved here together.”
“Don’t you understand? What I’m asking is, what did you guys do before this?”
“Uhh… We were just ordinary…”
Zuo Mingdong saw that his eyes were wandering and he was about to lie again. His eyes darkened. “Get someone else.”
As soon as Zuo Mingdong finished speaking, two men walked out from beside him. They walked over with big steps without any hesitation.
The man on the ground immediately regretted it. “Wait! I’m not done yet! We used to be criminals! We all escaped from prison!”
Although he spoke, the two burly men did not stop. Zuo Mingdong looked coldly at the man on the ground. “1 gave you a chance. You were the one who didn’t behave yourself. You don’t have a chance now. Take him away!”
The two men standing next to him received the order and immediately lifted him up. The man struggled with all his might. “What right do you have to treat me like this?! You promised me that as long as 1 told you the truth, you would let me stay! Don’t kill me!”
Zuo Mingdong glanced at him. “When did I say that? What I said was that I’d give you a chance to live. You were the one who couldn’t grasp this chance. You can only blame yourself.”
Zuo Mingdong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He waved his hand and asked the men to bring him out quickly..
