While the soldiers were carrying goods down, Xiao Yu said to the subordinate officer who pleaded for them yesterday: "Sir! My friend is sick, can you give us some medicine?"

The officer shook his head at him, probably saying that he was helpless. Five military trucks loaded the goods onto the truck, and the three of them were taken to the last truck, each with four live ammunition guards, and three military jeeps followed behind him, with minimal chance of successfully escaping.

Xiao Yu whispered: "This time I was so badly killed by this old bastard Qin Zheng!" Hu Zhongwu sighed: "I can only take one step, and I don't know what these soldiers will do to us." Huo Yuan was so burned in a daze, and the corners of his lips were cracked.

More than an hour later, they came to an unknown military base. After unloading the goods, the truck continued to drive forward and came to a mountain full of abandoned fortifications. Four soldiers pushed them out of the truck, and Huo Yuan seemed to be a little awake: "Is it...Isn't we going to shoot us?"

Xiao Yu and Hu Zhongwu supported his body with their shoulders: "There is no need to be such a troublesome thing to shoot. How clean we were when we collapsed in the sea last night!"

A soldier shouted loudly in Korean, probably because he would not let them speak. He walked up the mountain road for about ten minutes and a cave appeared in front of him, with six soldiers standing on both sides.

They stopped among the bushes in front of the cave.

A strange scene appeared at this time, and two North Korean soldiers walked towards them with three ragged prisoners.

The soldier behind him was talking loudly in Korean. Xiao Yu looked at him in confusion. A soldier reached out and began to pull his clothes. At this time, the three prisoners also came to them. They quickly took off their prison uniforms and exposed their scarred bodies.

Xiao Yu immediately understood what these people were trying to do. These soldiers wanted to use the three of them to replace the three prisoners. One soldier probably thought Huo Yuan's movements were too slow, and the buttstock hit Huo Yuan's waist hard. Huo Yuan screamed in pain. Xiao Yu stared at the soldiers, and his eyes were almost filled with fire.

Xiao Yu knew that it was not the time to be a hero. He silently took off his clothes and changed into one of the prison uniforms. Then he helped Huo Yuan change his clothes. It was obvious that the three prisoners were extremely excited because they had regained their freedom.

The two North Korean soldiers who walked out of the cave followed Xiao Yu and the other two and walked into the cave. Hu Zhongwu whispered: "They use us to take the bag!" Xiao Yu nodded. He had only seen such a baggage in history books, but he didn't expect that it would happen in reality, and everything went so blatantly.

Huo Yuan said powerlessly: "I hope we don't replace the death row prisoners!"

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The people who are detained here are spies and political prisoners. Look at the scars on the bodies of those who just now, you will know what to face in the future!"

When you walked into the cave, the light suddenly became dim. This was a tunnel with an angle downwards. After walking forward for about 200 meters, an old-fashioned elevator appeared in front of Xiao Yu.

The three of them walked into the elevator under the escort of two North Korean soldiers. After pressing the button, the elevator began to squeak down. It seemed that the place where they were detained was located below.

The elevator went down for more than 30 meters and stopped. Two soldiers rushed them forward and continued to walk forward. A damp smell came to my face, mixed with an indescribable smell of rottenness.

With the faint light, Xiao Yu noticed that many rooms were opened on both sides of the tunnel, and there were many Korean slogans on the walls. All rooms on both sides were locked with iron doors. The sound of door smashing and hysterical cries came from where they walked. This place should have been an air defense fortification, but now it has been converted into a prison where prisoners are detained.

They stopped at the door of the twelfth room, and two soldiers pushed them into the room roughly, and then locked the door from outside.

There were no lights in the room. The only source of light was the light from the outer passage that was poured from the door window. They slowly adapted to this dark environment. There were about a dozen bungalows in this room. There were two beds near the wall, and there was actually a toilet in the corner of the wall.

Xiao Yu twisted the faucet and water flowed out. The two of them were holding Huo Yuan and lying on the bed. There was no other thing on the bed except a broken straw mat.

Xiao Yu cursed: "Damn, I don't even give me a quilt!" Hu Zhongwu sighed: "This place is probably the private cell of General Jin, and the North Korean government doesn't know about this place!"

Huo Yuan was so hot that he started talking nonsense again. Xiao Yu took off his stinky prison clothes, washed them on the faucet, and then wiped Huo Yuan's body and cooled down.

Hu Zhongwu found three enamel bowls in the room. It seemed that these were the guys used by the three prisoners to eat. After washing, he fed Huo Yuan some water, and then filled all three large bowls.

Xiao Yu laughed: "What are you doing?"

"Where is prepared, there will be no water outage everywhere!" Hu Zhongwu's words unfortunately came to his mind, and they soon discovered that there was only one hour of water supply in a day, and their living patterns also changed.

Huo Yuan had been in a fever for three days, and on the fourth day, his body temperature began to slowly drop. For them, there was no difference between day and night at all. It was judged entirely based on the time of meal delivery every day.

The soldiers would deliver a meal to them at noon every day. The meals were almost the same as those of North Korean cold noodles. I was lucky enough to meet some North Korean kimchi occasionally.

Huo Yuan's spirit improved a little, and his mouth began to get idle again: "If I had known this, I would have been better than surrendering myself in Taiwan. The food on Green Island should be much better than here." Hu Zhongwu secretly rammed him.

Xiao Yu sighed in the darkness. If it weren't for him, the two of them wouldn't have fallen to where they are today. Huo Yuan obviously felt that his mouth had touched Xiao Yu's pain without any restraint. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Do you think someone will come to save us?"

Hu Zhongwu laughed: "Be your dream of spring and autumn. Who would have thought we were locked up in this place where birds do not poop or chickens do not lay eggs?"

Huo Yuan said depressedly: "What do you mean is that we may not be able to get out in this life?" The three of them were silent at the same time. Huo Yuan's guess was not impossible. Could their young lives be slowly worn away in this dark cell and slowly passed away...

After a long time, Xiao Yu took the lead in breaking the silence: "We must have a chance. Those three prisoners will not be detained here for no reason. As long as we wait patiently, someone will definitely come to interrogate us!"

Hu Zhongwu and Huo Yuan nodded at the same time. As long as they have the chance to be interrogated, the other party will find that they have locked up the wrong person and they have the chance to leave the cell.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Their thin prison clothes could not resist the bone-bone cold. The soldiers who delivered their meals had already changed into military cotton coats. It seemed that North Korea had already reached late winter. They had eaten thirty-two meals in this cell, and the time had passed.

The soldiers finally gave each of them a set of cotton coats. Although they were very torn and terrible, they were many times stronger than the thin prison clothes they had before.

The long-term malnutrition caused the three people to lose weight significantly, and Hu Zhongwu fell ill. He may have been infected with pneumonia and coughed day and night.

They all understood that if this situation continued, death would only await them. The North Korean soldiers seemed to have forgotten them all and allowed them to fend for themselves in this underground cell.

Just as they were approaching despair, two North Korean soldiers opened their doors and shouted something loudly in Korean. Xiao Yu and Huo Yuan looked at each other, and the other party was obviously calling one of the people's name, which must belong to one of the three prisoners who escaped.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, stood up from the bed, and Huo Yuan grabbed his arm: "Ayu! Don't go!"

Xiao Yu slowly pulled his hand away: "Brother Zhongwu is very ill, I must go!" Huo Yuan bit his lip: "Be careful! You must come back safely!"

Xiao Yu nodded heavily, and the two North Korean soldiers handcuffed him and escorted him out.

Walking out of the cave, the strong and dazzling snow light made Xiao Yu subconsciously close his eyes. The soldiers behind him were very dissatisfied with his slow movements and kicked Xiao Yu in the knee. Xiao Yu staggered and fell to the snow. More than a month of prison life made his reaction slow. His lips were hanged on the snow on the ground, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The two escorted him to the two-story building on the left side of the cave, and he was taken into the second room on the east side of the second floor. In front of the door, he heard the sound of hitting sandbags inside. After waiting for about five minutes, the two soldiers escorted him into the room.

The portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il were hung on the wall facing each other. The layout of the room was very simple, with no other furniture except a desk and two chairs.

A young officer wearing a black vest was hitting a sandbag. Xiao Yu could tell from the speed and strength of his punching that he must be a fighting master.

When he saw Xiao Yu, he reached out and punched the sandbag hard, then untied the knot on the sandbag. A prisoner covered in blood rolled out of the sandbag. He actually used the prisoner as the object of boxing practice.

He came to the desk, looked down at the photos on the file, and then looked at Xiao Yu again, his eyebrows twisted together. He said something loudly in Korean, then strode to Xiao Yu, grabbed Xiao Yu's hair, and dragged him to the desk.

He pressed Xiao Yu's head hard on the desk, and Xiao Yu also saw the photos on the file. It was a middle-aged bald man who obviously had nothing in common with him.

The young officer cursed something viciously, then pushed Xiao Yu aside with force. He came to the two soldiers and slapped each of them hard. The two soldiers were so scared that they lowered their heads.

The young officer asked in Korean, and Xiao Yu knew nothing about Korean. He said in Chinese: "I am Chinese, your military obviously caught the wrong person!"

Many officers in the North Korean army were well-versed in Chinese. The officer obviously understood Xiao Yu's words. He looked at Xiao Yu coldly and said in stiff Chinese: "You rescued those...some South Korean spies?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I am an ordinary businessman and I don't know them at all. It's your military that made a mistake..."

The officer nodded: "From this month, I... am responsible for all the affairs here. Remember my name, my name is Lee Seung-woo."

He slowly walked towards Xiao Yu, and suddenly punched Xiao Yu's lower abdomen: "I hate others cheating me the most!" Xiao Yu was backed back by his powerful punch, Li Chengyou's body followed closely, and his right foot kicked Xiao Yu's chest. Xiao Yu fell backwards, pressing his body on the chair, breaking the chair's legs.

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to get up, Li Chengyou stepped on his cheek and squeezed Xiao Yu's head hard towards the hard ground: "I don't care who you are! You have to pay the price to deceive me!" He kicked Xiao Yu's lower abdomen, and Xiao Yu bent his whole body in pain.

Li Chengyou kicked Xiao Yu frantically. Until Xiao Yu was unable to move at all, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the two soldiers: "Take him down and help him deal with the injuries on his body. I don't want him to die so easily!"

Two soldiers dragged Xiao Yu away from Lee Seung-woo's office.

When Xiao Yu returned to the cell, Huo Yuan and Hu Zhongwu almost didn't recognize him. They rushed up and put Xiao Yu on the bed. Xiao Yu barely smiled: "This... a bastard... has a grudge against me in my previous life..."

"You know him..." Hu Zhongwu coughed violently before he finished speaking.

"I didn't know him before... but I will remember him in the future..." Xiao Yu took out a bottle of antibiotics from his arms: "But this time it wasn't a waste of time. After all, I got some medicine. Antibiotics are still effective in Brother Zhongwu's disease."

Hu Zhongwu patted Xiao Yu's shoulder in emotion: "Ayu! I'm fine... Keep yourself..." He started coughing again

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'm suffering from a serious flaw. I'm going to be very excited again after two days of rest. You'd better take the medicine!"

Before Xiao Yu could lively, he had just been able to get off the ground. Li Chengyou called him up again, but he returned with bruises and wounds all over his body.

It can be seen that Li Chengyou was deliberately targeting Xiao Yu. In just one month, Li Chengyou had beaten Xiao Yu five times. Xiao Yu's strong physique and tenacious perseverance were fully revealed in this situation. He would never give up easily, and he would continue to persevere.

Things showed no signs of improvement. They had been in this dark dungeon for three months. Due to the long-term lack of sunlight and severe malnutrition, their physique became very weak. The three of them had long hair and beards that were not repaired.

According to their calculations, it should be the Spring Festival soon, and everyone became worried. Although Xiao Yu still seemed full of optimism on the surface, as time went by, he knew that the hope of rescue had become increasingly slim. Hu Zhongwu's illness had not yet recovered, and the disease had left him with only a handful of bones. Huo Yuan's mood became increasingly depressed, and he had never been idle and began to become taciturn.

Hu Zhongwu coughed violently for a few times, and took a long time to say, "If I remember correctly... tomorrow should be the Spring Festival..." Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "We should celebrate well!"

Huo Yuan sighed: "Celebration? What's there to celebrate like this kind of immortal day? I would rather let them drag it out and it will be broken with one shot!"

"Ayuan! We will definitely go out!" Xiao Yu comforted him and said.

Huo Yuan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you don't even believe this sentence yourself. It's been three months. We have been here for three months. We have been here for three months. We are all eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in this dark nest. What's the difference between death?"

Hu Zhongwu shouted: "Ayuan! Stop talking!"

Huo Yuan said in pain: "Ayu, sometimes I even envy you. Why isn't I the one who was pulled out and beaten? At least you can look at the sky outside when you get beaten..." He cried loudly.

Xiao Yu hugged his shoulder hard: "Ayuan, it's...I've implicated you!"

Huo Yuan shook his head: "Ayu, I don't mean to blame you, I really don't... I just don't want to die in obscurity..."

Footsteps sounded in front of the door, and the three of them stopped talking. Four North Korean soldiers opened the door, and they said something to them, then took Xiao Yu and the other three out, handcuffed them in turn, and took them to the elevator.

Xiao Yu looked at the soldiers in confusion. It was the first time he had taken out the three of them at the same time like now. He didn't know what they wanted to do.

Huo Yuan sighed: "Stop looking, these bastards must not want to continue wasting food. Damn, it's good to die, so you can avoid being tortured again!"

Hu Zhongwu was still coughing constantly, and the North Korean soldiers who escorted them covered their mouths and noses in disgust. One of them raised his feet and kicked Hu Zhongwu hard on the thigh. Hu Zhongwu staggered forward, and Hu Yuan stopped him with his body. Xiao Yu glared at the soldier. He raised his handcuffs to smash the boy's head. Several soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Xiao Yu's head.

"A Yu... Forget it..." Hu Zhongwu shouted weakly.

Xiao Yu suppressed his anger and slowly lowered his hands. Several North Korean soldiers smashed Xiao Yu like raindrops with their butts. Huo Yuan threw himself on Xiao Yu with tears in his eyes: "Sir... let us go..."

It was not until the elevator reached the ground that several soldiers stopped beating them. Xiao Yu and Huo Yuan were both beaten to the point of bruising and swollen. The two of them stood up from the ground with each other and helped Hu Zhongwu up again.

When they walked out of the cave, the sky outside was still dripping with snowflakes. The three of them finally adapted to the strong light. Only then did they see red lanterns hanging in many places in the military camp. It seems that the North Koreans also attach great importance to China's Spring Festival.

Several soldiers pushed them into an empty room and ordered them to take off their clothes. Their naked bodies were trembling with cold air. Huo Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have been hungry for three months, and my little brother has lost weight!"

Two soldiers dragged the water throat to the door. They turned on the water throat switch, and the cold tap water rushed towards the direction of the three of them. The bone-bone cold stimulated their nerves everywhere.

Only then did Xiao Yu realize that these North Korean soldiers were bathing them for the New Year. After about five minutes of rinsing, Hu Zhongwu's already weak body could not withstand the stimulation of the cold. His lips were frozen into a dark purple color, and his body spasmed in pain.

The soldiers brought them clean cotton coats, and Xiao Yu and Huo Yuan hurriedly put them on. The cotton coat should be the military uniform they didn't wear. Although it was a bit old, it was washed very clean, much better than the torn jacket they had before.

After they put on their clothes, the soldiers took them to the room next to them, where three meals had been prepared for them.

The meal was quite hearty. Each person had a portion of roasted beef with potatoes and two vegetarian dishes, and the amount of rice was twice as much as they usually did.

The three of them started eating voraciously until they ate the last grain of rice on the plate into their mouths. Huo Yuan burped with unsatisfactory: "I have never eaten so well in my life!" He wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "This is what I often call farewell meal?"

The three of them were escorted around the building and walked back along the mountain road. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of a dilapidated warehouse.

There are also two big red lanterns hanging in front of the warehouse gate, with Chinese characters written on it to celebrate the Spring Festival. It seems that the Chinese culture has a great influence on the Koreans.

The warehouse was surrounded by soldiers, and about 100 square meters of open space were left in the middle, and a hemp rope was used to form a ring with a length and width of five meters.

Xiao Yu and the others were taken to the right lower foot of the ring and squatted down. Only then did they notice that on the other side of the ring, there were three prisoners who were in the same outfit as them, including two Koreans, and the other burly guy was a white man, and it seemed that he was European and American.

Hu Zhongwu has only recovered now, and he whispered: "Does these soldiers want us to duel?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "These bastards must be using us as entertainment to celebrate the Spring Festival!"

At this time, Lee Seung-woo and another officer walked in from outside the door. They came to the table in front of the ring and sat down. Lee Seung-woo talked and laughed with the officer. After a while, his eyes looked towards Xiao Yu. The two soldiers pulled Xiao Yu up and pushed him in front of Lee Seung-woo.
Chapter completed!
