It was a dark and damp room.
Judging from the puddles on the floor, it should not be on the surface but somewhere deep underground.
Although the room was dark and damp, it was not dirty at all. There was even a clean table and two clean stools in the corner of the room.
Tang Ling's hands were cuffed to the iron shackles and there was a special device attached to his abdomen. As long as he wanted to muster his strength, gather his energy or even breathe, the device would release an electric current to paralyze his body.
It was impossible for him to escape. Under the watch of the device, Tang Ling was worse than a common man.
What was left of him? There was nothing left.
Everything about him, such as his weapons, equipment, all the miscellaneous stuff that he had accumulated over the years, and the little amount of vicious beast meat that he had left were all taken away.
However, Tang Ling did not care anymore.
He had memorized the addendum in his mind before he destroyed it. As for the war seed, it was hidden somewhere in his body. He had finished the good wood core and the last bit of it that he used to cook the soup with Orston in the forest that day was the last bit left.
It was a pity that the vicious beast meat was traded by Su Yao for a lot of money. Fortunately, there was not much left.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Many places in Safety Sector No. 17 would have people armed themselves to the teeth, waiting for the final order.

The night was quiet.
The horror that had been brewing throughout the day shocked the people of Safety Sector No. 17. They all went back to their houses early.
What should have been a lively time in the past was now deserted. Even the streets of the inner city were deserted.
The damned rain had not stopped since the morning. Was it normal for the weather to be like this? How could a storm be followed by a drizzle?
Aber, who was wearing a black cloak, got down from the carriage and walked into a secluded alley with the cool night breeze mixed with the rain.
An attentive man in a blue and white uniform was holding an oil lamp with a flattering expression, illuminating the way for Aber.
"Are the prisoners all right? Nothing bad happened? "Aber asked casually. Actually, what kind of trouble could there be? Safety Sector No. 17's prison had always been heavily guarded, and this time around, the forces behind the Agnes family had sent a part of their forces to manage the prison together. It was to prevent the safety sector from falling into chaos after the purge.
Without a doubt, having a stable and well-guarded prison was the most important task.
As a matter of fact, Aber was just not used to such a quiet night. He was an active person at night, so where else could he go to be active at night?
"The chief has decided to impose a curfew on Safety Sector No. 17. What's the point of that? I will never understand the thoughts of those old men, "Aber complained in his mind as he stepped into the prison.
However, he did not go to the area where the prisoners were held. Instead, he went straight to the office area of the prison.
This was the most heavily guarded place in the entire prison. Even Aber did not know what the mastermind had set up here. He only knew that somewhere in this office area, there was a hidden underground passage that led to the real serious criminals area of the prison.
After going down for at least 30 meters, Aber saw a gloomy, oppressive, and slippery alley with moss growing all over it.
On both sides of the alley were 10 small, tightly sealed doors.
Tang Ling was locked up in the innermost room, and there was even a guard with the strength of at least an elite warrior standing guard in front of the door.
When Aber entered the room, the warden who led him inside the room sensibly backed out.
"You don't seem surprised." Aber looked at Tang Ling, whose hands were cuffed up and his abdomen was strapped with electrodes. He spoke casually as he removed his black mantle and placed it on a stool.
Tang Ling looked up and chuckled, but he did not say anything else.
Aber was a proud person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, so it was expected that he would be the first to arrive at the prison.
Su Yao once commented on Aber. He was a venomous snake that hid in the dark and bit people.
Is he here to bite me?
With that in mind, Tang Ling lowered his head. The dripping sound was heard for the 471st time.
Maybe because of Tang Ling's attitude, Aber was infuriated. He smiled nonchalantly as if he was inspecting the room. Then, he suddenly appeared beside Tang Ling and punched him in the stomach without any warning.
Pfft! Tang Ling's stomach started to contract rapidly as if it was smashed by a heavy hammer. His digested stomach was empty, and all he did was spit out a few mouthfuls of sour gastric juice.
However, Aber was a Purple Moon Warrior, so a simple punch from him caused tremendous pain to Tang Ling's weak stomach.
Tang Ling's face paled and beads of sweat formed on his forehead due to the excruciating pain.
"Is it because of this that you'll stop that annoying laughter of yours? What do you think? Do you think going to prison is a piece of cake? You just need to stay here and be handcuffed, and then you'll be fine? " Aber took out a handkerchief and wiped his fist from Tang Ling's face. He seemed to hate touching Tang Ling.
Then, he snapped his fingers again. Immediately, footsteps could be heard coming from the door. Then, the footsteps moved further and further away. Then, they quickly approached.
"I'm a gentleman. That's why I don't want to hide the fact that I'm here to torture you.
I'll also teach you a lesson. Don't be greedy for a moment of pleasure. You'll have to pay the price, "Aber said with his hands in his pockets and looked down at Tang Ling.
"Hmph." Tang Ling chuckled again. He spat out a mouthful of gastric juice and looked at Aber. "Do you have the guts to beat me to death?"
"Do you? If you don't, you'll still be a f * cking idiot who gets led around by the nose! "
Aber's expression changed. He was very sensitive to the word 'f * cking idiot'. Just this afternoon, Tang Ling had called him a f * cking idiot many times in front of tens of thousands of people.
More importantly, Tang Ling said that the noble Aber was not as good as Andrew, the son of Andrew's lowly servant!
What was more hateful was that someone actually believed him!
With a creaking sound, the iron gate of the prison was pulled open. The prison officer who had left earlier came back with a whip. It was a sturdy whip made of thin iron chains and cowhide interweaved together.
Many prisoners in the old civilization were tough. The whips of the old civilization were too merciful, so they did not feel anything when they were whipped.
The whip was made out of grade E alloy and was made into thin iron chains with little barbs on them. Even a Purple Moon Warrior might not be able to withstand the pain from the whip.
"Go get me some salt water." Aber seemed to like the whip in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he whipped the whip in the air with all his might. There was a sonic boom in the air, and it even created a few sparks.
It was a decent whip.
"Are you afraid?" Aber turned around with malicious intent in his eyes. His voice was gentle because he wanted to know how Tang Ling would act tough. Yes, he would act tough.
"Afraid? Hmm, I'm afraid of death. As long as you don't kill me, what's a little pain? " Tang Ling sounded calm. After a pause, he added, "You won't kill me anyway, will you?"
"Do you really think I won't?" Aber suddenly felt wronged. He really did not dare to kill Tang Ling because the leader had said that the faction wanted him alive.
Otherwise, he would have tortured Tang Ling mercilessly before killing him. That would have been the best way for him to vent his anger.
"Of course you won't! If you can kill me, why would you wait until now? As long as you get me out of the crowd, you can do it at any time, can't you? My dear Lord Aber. "Tang Ling's tone was filled with mockery.
"Hmph." Aber was rendered speechless. It was then that the attentive warden returned with a bucket of salt water. He even brought two men over with a burning charcoal fire and an iron rod.
That was why he was able to become a warden. His ingratiating skills were extraordinary. Looking at the torture tools, Aber showed a satisfied expression.
The warden waved his hand, and the two prison guards left. The warden himself also left with a flattering smile, and even considerately closed the door.
Aber stretched his neck comfortably, and after two clear cracks, he looked at Tang Ling in satisfaction. He did not say anything, but without any warning, he lashed out with his whip.
The iron whip exploded and landed on Tang Ling's upper body, which was only covered in a singlet.
The crack was sharp and clear. Aber looked at Tang Ling in delight. His singlet was torn apart, his skin was torn, and the muscles under his skin were cut by the barbs, leaving a bloody wound.
"Ugh." Tang Ling grunted softly. The whip was not bad at all. It felt like he was stung by countless iron-tailed scorpions when he was whipped. The burning pain was accompanied by a strong tearing sensation. It felt so good!
Aber did not say anything as he soaked the whip in the salt water.
"So what if I can't kill you? I can torture you endlessly and leave you with one last breath. "
Tang Ling inhaled deeply before he looked at Aber and said, "One breath is enough. I'm not one of those lowly peasants from the settlement, am I? Killing them all at once won't be a burden. "
Aber's expression changed. The settlement? It had been a long time ago, to the point that Aber had almost forgotten about it. Why would this kid mention it all of a sudden? Although it was not a big secret, Aber did not answer Tang Ling.
However, Aber did not answer him. Instead, he grabbed the whip from the salt water and whipped it again.
As expected of a Purple Moon Warrior. This whip accurately landed on the same spot as the previous one. It was still bloody and burning, and the stinging pain was like a wound that penetrated deep into his bones. Tang Ling tasted the tearing sensation again.
The irritating salt water seized the chance to seep into his wound. Even Tang Ling wanted to scream, but he did not.
He clenched his fists, tensed his muscles, and the veins on his neck bulged as he endured the pain.
His breathing was heavy, like that of a wounded and exhausted beast.
His reaction did not satisfy Aber. He frowned and simply dipped his whip in the salt water. He shook his wrist and lashed out another seven to eight times.
Tang Ling's body trembled, but he would never scream. Why would he? Would it help him? Was it just to increase Aber's pleasure?
No, it was impossible! This was the start of the confrontation. How could he lose to this idiot right from the start? Even though the pain would be multiplied, pain was never important in Tang Ling's life.
"Very well." Aber was a little frustrated. He was panting a little after being lashed seven to eight times.
How did this kid endure it? Although there were only three whip marks on his body, the deepest one was so deep that his bones could be seen. Plus, the salt water was disinfecting it, so how did he endure it?
"How is it? Don't you feel unhappy that you can't kill me? " Tang Ling's voice sounded a little hoarse as he added, "If I don't die, I might have a chance to live. I won't be locked up for too long anyway."
Aber raised a brow. He really hated Tang Ling. Why does this kid act like he knows everything? Who's leaking information to him?
Aber did not want to admit that Tang Ling's intelligence scared him. However, he knew in his heart that no one would leak such information to Tang Ling. For example, he would be secretly transferred away by Ying's elite squad tomorrow.
This secret was only known to him and the Patriarch.
However, Tang Ling ignored Aber's thoughts and continued, "Where will I be transferred to? Regardless of where I'm transferred to, a person like me will more or less have some value. Valuable people tend to survive, am I right? "
Aber's expression changed. Motherf * cker? Survive? You're the dazzling diamond on the Horror Lullaby List. You f * cking survive?
What if you're not? If Tang Ling is willing to surrender, there's still a chance.
Aber suddenly felt that the whip in his hand was a little hot. In the next second, he was infuriated. Am I really an idiot? Things have already escalated to this point, yet I'm still being threatened by this kid in prison?
With that thought in mind, Aber's face turned gloomy. He turned around and picked up the red-hot iron rod from the brazier before he walked towards Tang Ling.
"I'm so scared that you're still alive! So, should I make it up to you now? Look at your wound. It's scary. Let me stop the bleeding, okay? "As he spoke, Aber mercilessly branded the iron rod on the deepest wound on Tang Ling's body.
Sizzle! Following a sizzling sound like roasted meat, green smoke rose from the spot where the iron rod came into contact with Tang Ling's skin.
"Ugh …" Tang Ling gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke, but a grunt was the furthest he could go. He would never let Aber vent his anger by torturing him.
"Aber, I said I'll live." Tang Ling adjusted his breath and acted tough. His eyes even showed a ruminating gaze as he said, "Because you and I have old grudges and new grudges."
"What old grudges and new grudges?" Aber decided not to let the kid lead him by the nose anymore. He was calm and nonchalant as he put the iron rod back into the brazier and picked up the whip again.
"Yo, yo, yo. Is your intelligence really that outdated? Didn't anyone tell you that I grew up in the settlement of Safety Sector No. 17? "Tang Ling glared at Aber.
Aber was stunned. The whip in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. He asked in disbelief, "You said you're from the settlement? The settlement of Safety Sector No. 17? "
Tang Ling did not even answer his question directly. Instead, he said, "That's why I said old grudges and new grudges! Do you think I don't know that the zombie horde disaster happened in the settlement because the Agnes family colluded with someone else? So, Aber, you're done for. You're really done for! "
Aber's face twitched. Even in this situation, the kid was still saying that he was done for!
Little did he know that Tang Ling was just speculating. His visit to torture Tang Ling tonight was just a chance for Tang Ling to prove his theory.
Once it was proven, his wrath would burn the entire Agnes family to ashes!
Unfortunately, Aber, who did not know what was going on, was provoked by Tang Ling's words. He laughed loudly and said angrily, "Yes, I'm done for! But the settlement is the first to be destroyed! Let me take a guess. Did your family survive? I don't think so! "
Tang Ling's eyes were suppressing the icy flames as he remained expressionless.
Aber laughed arrogantly before he looked at Tang Ling and said, "I'm honored that I accidentally turned you into a pitiful, lonely worm. That night, the cooperation of Safety Sector No. 17 was led by the Agnes family. Are you heartbroken by the news? Tsk, tsk, tsk … "
"The Agnes family is the pitiful worm, isn't it? The whole family is like a dog licking a bastard who can command the filthy zombies in exchange for a chance to rise to the top. Actually, you should kneel in front of me. Why? Because I'm the one who gave you this chance.
If I wasn't in the settlement, the zombies wouldn't have come and you guys wouldn't have gotten the chance to lick my boots. So, shouldn't you kneel in front of me now? " The rage and hatred in Tang Ling's heart almost burst out of his body, but he suppressed it with all his might and did not show any difference on the surface.
This matter was not just about Vian anymore. His grandmother and sister were involved as well. The Agnes family must be massacred and the whole sinful family must be sacrificed with their souls.
Aber tried his best to tell himself not to be provoked by Tang Ling, but the words that belittled the Agnes family drove him crazy. He growled angrily, picked up the whip, and whipped Tang Ling more than a dozen times without stopping.
Tang Ling looked at him coldly from the beginning until the end. He chuckled coldly and shouted, "Kneel, you idiot! Why aren't you kneeling?
Are you thinking too highly of yourself? Do you think the zombies in the settlement are all because of you? Even if you're suspected to be one of the people on the Horror Lullaby list, you're not important enough!
Do you think your genetic chain can trigger the vibration of the Star Searcher? What kind of dream are you having? You three-star genetic chain trash! "Aber was so angry that his words were incoherent. His words exposed a lot of his secrets.
Tang Ling listened carefully, but he kept saying, "What are you hiding? You idiot! Kneel! Don't explain! "
"You have a death wish! Young Master Twelve has already found the key to the vibration of the Star Searcher. It's … "Aber suddenly stopped. He realized that he had blurted out some big secret.
Fortunately, Tang Ling turned a deaf ear to him and kept shouting at him to kneel.
Aber suddenly felt tired. What was he doing here tonight? It seemed like everything he did would only make him angrier!
"I was born in the settlement, and I'm here because of me. How can you not know such important information? You idiot! "Tang Ling continued to scold him. He did it on purpose.
His heart was turned upside down by the shocking news, so he did not want to talk to Aber anymore.
He was indeed not as strong as Andrew.
Therefore, Tang Ling continued his incoherent scolding and reminded Aber, 'It's information! Me being born in the settlement is information! Why aren't you reporting it? Get the f * ck out of here! '
Fortunately, Aber was not hopelessly stupid. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he put down the whip with a snap.
That's right! No one knew that Tang Ling was born in the settlement. Could it be that he was the reason why the Star Searcher vibrated? Impossible! How could there be two of them in the settlement?
Aber believed that he had gotten some great information, so he could not stay any longer. He had to report it.
The Goddess of Luck was always on his side. He might have lost a chance, but another one was given to him, wasn't it?
