Chapter 259: Chapter 256: Drinking Leads to Trouble
One night passed.
That night, nothing happened, only the feeling of hunger intensified, and she felt even more lethargic.
She suddenly somewhat understood, it wasn’t that these people didn’t want to escape, but they simply didn’t have the strength to.
To simply survive was already a luxury.
Savanna Windsor divided a custard pie into thirteen pieces, with the largest piece for her.
She didn’t want to be favored, but Savanna Windsor would always place it at her lips, unmoved by whatever she said.
Besides, she was really very hungry, the aroma of the custard pie wafted into her nose, disrupting her sanity.
After holding out for an hour, she still ended up eating that piece of custard pie in one bite.
When she swallowed it down, she felt it was the most delicious food she’d ever tasted, as if nothing could taste better.
The vehicle still hadn’t moved today. Though she found it odd, she hadn’t given up persuading Savanna Windsor to unbind her.
Yet another day passed the same way, she failed to convince Savanna, and couldn’t figure out a way to escape.
There was virtually nothing in the compartment, not even a sharp edge.
Right now, she desperately wished for a section of the compartment’s sheet metal to jut out.
Even though there were so many people here, when she talked to them, no one would respond to her.
One couldn’t really speak, and the other just sat dazed like machines.
This environment truly pushed one to despair.
Yet, laughter emanated from the front of the vehicle, contrasting strongly with the desolation inside the compartment.
Yellow Hair had just complained about having nothing to eat over the phone with Brother Zhang.
Brother Zhang replied that everything was already prepared, just that a private plane needed time to request air routes, saying supplies would be dropped around midnight and to be careful.
"Really?" Blackie’s face lit up with joy. He was initially worried about starving to death, but hearing about the upcoming "airdrop" put him at ease.
Pushing open the door, he was about to head outside, saying, "Then I’ll wait outside."
Yellow Hair, catching the overly excited Blackie, placed a hand on his forehead, helplessly yet disdainfully saying, "Are you stupid?! It’s falling from the sky, aren’t you afraid of getting smashed?!"
"From the sky?" Blackie was first confused, then nodded and rushed back.
The next day.
Elliana Lyle hadn’t closed her eyes all night, tied up for such a long time that she almost lost all sensation.
Perhaps her hands were already ruined, anyway, she couldn’t see them.
As usual, Savanna Windsor fed water to everyone, and when she reached the seventh person, they showed no response.
No matter how much she nudged, there was no reaction. Watching Savanna place her hand under the person’s nose, Elliana sensed something was wrong.
Could it be...
A chill crept up her spine, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
After checking, Savanna directly skipped over the seventh person, starting to feed water to the next.
Judging by Savanna’s expression, there was no emotion at all, she didn’t know what happened to the seventh person.
If they had died, Savanna wouldn’t have remained so expressionless.
She asked, "What happened to her?"
As soon as the words fell, Savanna showed no intent to respond, simply repeating the same action of pouring and feeding water.
Until she completed a round, Savanna didn’t respond to her, surprisingly starting to knock on the iron door.
Soon, it drew attention from outside, and shortly after, the large man Elliana saw last time came to open the door.
"What the fuck, what’s all the noise?" Blackie opened the door and directly slapped Savanna Windsor.
The slap was loud, sending Savanna sprawling into the compartment!
One could imagine how hard the blow was.
And Elliana could do nothing now, she couldn’t even speak, anyone standing up now wouldn’t only fail to save Savanna, it would make things worse.
It’s evident that the large man had drunk some, holding a wine bottle, which was now placed at the edge of the compartment.
"Ah~ ah~" Savanna Windsor climbed up, mumbling something, then pointed at the seventh person.
Following the direction of her point, Blackie saw a woman slumped against the side of the compartment, lips turning blue.
Seemingly dead.
He instantly frowned, cursing, "Shit! Useless."
Then Blackie turned to leave, not bothering to close the door.
Savanna, who had been hanging her head, subtly moved her eyes then turned to look at her.
That gaze carried some tenderness, leaving Elliana unsure what it meant.
Then, she saw Savanna pick up the wine bottle left by the large man and smash it against the edge with a clang!
The glass bottle broke into pieces of various sizes, with liquor spilling everywhere.
In particular, the noise was really loud!
Savanna quickly tossed a small shard of glass towards her, landing at her feet.
"What are you doing?"
But in just two seconds, someone was approaching.
She hastily used her leg to conceal the shard under her, then looked worriedly at Savanna.
At this moment, Savanna was on the ground, gulping down the liquor from the iron compartment, glass stabbing her mouth.
Red mixed with transparent.
When the wound met the alcohol, the pain was unimaginable!
When Blackie and Yellow Hair arrived, they were relieved, not suspecting anything naturally.
After all, a person had died, being starved into madness was naturally this way.
"Damn! You scared the hell out of me." Yellow Hair grabbed Savanna Windsor’s hair, lifting her head forcefully.
Shoving her a few times before giving a hard push, Savanna tumbled backward, her head hitting solidly against the iron compartment.
And then... there was no more movement.
Elliana’s eyes instantly filled with tears, slowly turning to stare at the duo by the door.
Her heart ached intensely, blood surging through her veins, seething to the point where she couldn’t utter a word.
She was even struggling to breathe.
"What are you staring at?" Yellow Hair glared at Elliana.
Yet it didn’t scare this woman’s gaze away, instead, he himself started feeling uneasy.
However, that feeling quickly faded, Yellow Hair, not wanting to waste time, said, "Get the dead one out."
Then pointed at Savanna Windsor, saying, "Check if she’s alive."
In the end, only the seventh woman was taken outside before the door closed.
She saw all this but was powerless to do anything.
"Savanna Windsor? Savanna Windsor? Savanna Windsor?"
She kept calling out repeatedly, but Savanna had no reaction.
She shouldn’t be dead, otherwise, she would’ve been taken out as well.
After calming her emotions, she tried moving her leg aside, the glass shard shining in the dim compartment.
Like light in darkness, hope amidst despair.
But she couldn’t pick it up to cut the ropes, for they were tied too tightly, her hands completely numb, even her arms were tingling.
Struggling to try several times, she remained powerless, having the key yet unable to reach it, this might be the most despairing thing.
"Savanna Windsor! Savanna Windsor! Wake up..."
A repressed voice carried a tinge of pleading.
"Savanna Windsor..."
Calling out one after another, but there was no response for a long time.
Elliana slumped against the compartment wall, her listless eyes staring blankly at the iron ceiling.
As if, at this moment, completely losing the will to resist.
Then, a faint sound came, followed by a rustling noise.
