Chapter 680: Chapter 677: The Sick Man of East Asia? Lu Xiao’s Brutal Torture (1)
They finally decided to only tie his wrists and have three n watch over him during the night, taking turns every three hours.
However, Lu Xiao also proposed a condition.
He said, “I hope to be supervised next to our campsite, as my wife will be afraid if she’s alone at night without .”
This condition seed reasonable and was hard to decline.
Tying up the husband of Ms. Wen, the ambassador for wildlife protection in East Asia, must have been a shock to her.
So, led by David’s nod, everyone watching over him agreed.
But in fact—
For Lu Xiao, whether she was afraid at night was a secondary concern, his worry was that if they were attacked at night and he was too far away, he wouldn’t be able to protect her right away.
Her life was his first priority.
So.
When night ca, Lu Xiao’s hands were tied behind his back by a campfire, with several n surrounding him on all sides.
David was among them. He had no choice, as the person in overall charge, he had to do this.
But for him, watching over Lu Xiao wasn’t so much about surveillance as it was about having a chat.
Because he believed in Lu Xiao, he had indeed found evidence of traps left by others on this island.
At night, everyone went into their tents to sleep.
By the campfire, the crackling flas consud the branches.
The n assigned to keep an eye on Lu Xiao patrolled the vicinity, moving around.
David pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one for himself, and then took another and placed it between Lu Xiao’s lips.
With the cigarette in his mouth, David lit it for him.
In the end, David took a deep drag on his cigarette, frowning deeply.
“…What do you want to say?”
Lu Xiao, with the cigarette clamped between his teeth, asked sowhat indistinctly.
David, a middle-aged man, did not expect to be seen through with just one glance. He laughed, and while leisurely puffing out rings of smoke, he said:
“I heard you were in the Special Forces before?”
Lu Xiao didn’t hide it, and nodded slightly.
“No wonder you moved so smoothly earlier today,” David said.
“Why, why the sudden question?”
Lu Xiao asked.
Generally, when soone asks this, they definitely have so thoughts in their mind.
After all, his skills were good, and if he wanted to do sothing bad, it would be even easier for him.
However, David then patted him on the shoulder, saying seriously:
“There are no more than five n here who have any real skills, and you co from the national Special Forces, so your ability must be strong. I’m thinking, if soone were to launch a surprise attack on us, if we could hold our ground.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao fell silent.
He looked into the dark rainforest, pitch-black, where with the passing of the sea breeze, one could vaguely make out swaying branches.
But within that rainforest, despite camouflaging everything, it still felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows.
It could be jackals or leopards.
“Do you think soone will co tonight?”
Lu Xiao asked casually.
David glanced at him:
“Actually, you know better than I do, don’t you?”
Lu Xiao said nothing, just kept his gaze deeply fixed on the midst of the rainforest.
“Do I need to do anything more?”
David made a suggestive “scissors” hand gesture, implying that Lu Xiao was currently restrained.
Lu Xiao chuckled softly, “Thanks, but no need.”
David arched an eyebrow slightly.
anwhile, in Lu Xiao’s hands, unbeknownst to the others, he had clenched a small stone—only it was unnoticed—
