Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 209 Found
He quickly took the porcelain bottle she handed him and pulled out a dark, gleaming dagger from behind his back.

"Ningning, stay here and don't come out!"

"Brother Zhang, smash the porcelain bottle at them, and be careful not to hold your breath!"

In the blink of an eye, the three large black dogs that darted over skillfully vaulted over the dead tree branches and twigs that were blocking the way on the ground.

Upon seeing the person rushing towards them at breakneck speed, they did not panic but instead leaped high into the air, opening their mouths to reveal sharp fangs.

With a swift movement, Zhang Ze parried with his short dagger, using the unusually fierce force of the attack to deflect Su Ning's direction.

After successfully drawing the hatred of the three dogs, he gripped the two small porcelain bottles in his palm, took a deep breath, held it, and smashed them hard on the ground.

The medicine in the porcelain bottle evaporated quickly. As soon as the green liquid was spilled, the three large dogs collapsed with trembling limbs, as if they were drunk.

Covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, Zhang Ze tentatively kicked each of the three large black dogs that were lying on the ground.

Only after confirming there was no danger did he wave to Suning and quickly crouch down.

He pried open the mouth of one of the dogs and found its tongue had been pulled out. A look of understanding flashed across his eyes before turning into anger.

Wei Junjie is truly a complete and utter pervert!
They not only feed them raw, fresh flesh and blood, but also cruelly cut off their tongues to avoid the trouble caused by their barking.

"Brother Zhang?"

"It's okay."

He quickly closed the big dog's mouth with his hand to prevent her from seeing such a cruel scene. Zhang Ze stood up and glanced at the small wooden house not far away.

"I'll go in and take a look first. You wait outside for me."

"it is good."

Although I know there are only three big black dogs in total, and the wooden house is just their den, I'm afraid there's nothing else useful besides the big jar used for feeding.

However, it was obvious that Zhang Ze was unaware of this, and it was perfectly normal for him to go and investigate.

But when Zhang Ze came out of the wooden house again, Su Ning could clearly feel the terrifying murderous aura emanating from him, and she tried her best to suppress the raging anger in her heart.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhang? What's inside?"

With his lips pressed tightly together, Zhang Ze's eyes flashed with a dark intensity that seemed to be sharp as a knife, ready to kill.

Inside, besides the large trough used to feed the dogs, there was only a nest lined with thick straw.

Next to the bowl used to feed the large dog, there was fresh blood foam and leftover bones.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was human remains.

To do it in such a cruel way...

Wei Junjie, you really deserve to die!

"Brother Zhang?"

"Don't go see it."

Seeing that he didn't answer and his expression became even more unpleasant, Su Ning was about to go over and check on him when he grabbed her arm.

"Listen to me, Ningning."

Thinking back carefully, there wasn't much about the doghouse that I saw through Wei Junjie last night; there were only a few fleeting glimpses of feeding them raw meat.

Although puzzled, she slowly calmed down her curiosity and nodded in agreement.

"I don't believe he went to all that trouble to build such a hidden passage just to feed these dogs. There must be something else going on..."

"An underground passage or secret room?"

"Correct!"

Looking around, Zhang Ze used his eyes to measure every part of the cabin, leaving no spot unchecked.

"We don't know why Wei Junjie went back to the compound last night, or if he'll come back today. We need to hurry and find him before dark!"

"Ah."

The two said no more and went their separate ways.

Compared to Zhang Zeman, who was aimlessly searching based on his own experience, Su Ning was searching in a specific direction with a clear purpose.

After creating a false impression, she pretended to accidentally touch the switch and then turned around and ran towards Zhang Ze with delight.

"Brother Zhang, come with me quickly!"

"go!"

The switch in the basement was actually a large, hollowed-out wooden stake hidden in weeds and mud. The stake looked like it had been struck by lightning; the broken branches at the top were charred, and there was a hole at the bottom large enough for a person to squeeze through sideways.

It shows little sign of human intervention and appears to have formed naturally.

"I just went in out of curiosity to take a look, and I never expected to stumble upon this by sheer luck!"

"Ningning, you've always been very lucky."

The filth and the chipped, broken wood made it so bad that no one would want to look at it a second time.

Zhang Ze crouched down and squeezed in sideways, intending to let her wait outside. Unexpectedly, the person behind him followed him in instead of being obedient.

The two of them made the already small wooden stake feel even more crowded. He couldn't just push her out with his buttocks, so Zhang Ze could only give her a warning look. After she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, he continued to climb down into the tunnel that had already been opened.

The underground chamber was actually much larger than the outer room.

To prevent the soil from collapsing, a thick layer of reinforced concrete was directly applied around the perimeter, creating a two-bedroom, one-living room space.

Except for one locked wooden door, through which a faint sliver of light shone, the rest of the place was pitch black.

Small platforms with specially carved holes in the wall held kerosene lamps and matchboxes covered with glass shades.

Having adapted to the darkness first, Zhang Ze, hearing no sounds from either room, began to slowly grope his way out. When he found the small pit, he didn't hesitate to take one of the lamps, strike a match, and light it.

Su Ning tugged at his sleeve and pointed to the locked room.

His expression was solemn.

Wei Junjie was arrested several years later because one of the women he had abducted and who had gone missing was a brother who had just returned from military service.

After learning what had happened to his older sister, this ruthless man managed to unravel the mystery using only the clues he had from before, and after much trouble, he successfully tracked down the person to him.

How can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk along the river?

Although Wei Junjie suppressed his anger and refrained from taking any further action due to the situation and environment a few years later, the consequences of his past actions would eventually come.

According to his confession, there should have been two more victims in that year, but it's unclear whether they are still alive or not.
I hope they arrive in time and can save at least one person.

Zhang Ze nodded silently, went to the locked door, and used the oil lamp in his hand to illuminate the overturned lock cylinder.

Since it's locked, it means Wei Junjie didn't come over, and there must be something inside.

After carefully comparing the locks, Zhang Ze turned his head and looked at the hair clip she had tucked into her hair.

Immediately realizing what was happening, Su Ning didn't hesitate to remove the pearl hair clip and tuck the stray hairs behind her ear.

You can directly break off the pearls and the film pasted on them with your hands.

These clips are not as easy to open as the simple black ones, but they're better than nothing.

Zhang Ze put the lamp down on the ground, took the hair clip, held both ends with both hands, and forcefully broke the clip into two pieces. He then took one piece from each end and inserted it into the lock cylinder with both hands.

After several attempts and twists, a soft click was heard, and their eyes lit up at the same time: the lock was open!
Zhang Ze gave her a look, then gently pushed the door open a crack and peered inside.

Only open the door fully after confirming there is no danger.

Inside the room was a simple large wooden bed, and in the middle was a strangely shaped... wooden chair?
Ignoring the horizontal bars above whose purpose is unknown, let's assume they're a wooden chair. There are no other extra furniture or decorations.

The upper body was tucked into the quilt with the head slightly down on the side of the wooden bed, while the lower body was naked and draped on the ground.

With just one glance, Zhang Ze quickly turned around and said, "Ningning, you check on her first. I'll go look for her in another room."

"Ah."

After Zhang Ze left the room, Su Ning clenched her trembling fingers and strode towards the bedside.

Only then did she realize that the woman's hands were tied to the wooden posts on the left and right sides under the bed. No wonder she couldn't climb onto the bed and could only put her head on the blanket.

The exposed skin was bluish-purple and covered with various wounds, a shocking sight.

As if it took her a long time to find her voice, Su Ning asked while untying the ropes binding her wrists, "How are you feeling? Are you still conscious?"

He placed his hand on the unresponsive woman's forehead, and felt a burning sensation in his palm.

He quickly retrieved the medicine needed to treat internal and external injuries from the spatial medicine hut, as well as a porcelain bottle containing spring water.

First, feed her the spring water in the bottle, and only stop when you hear a barely audible whimper, then quickly put the porcelain bottle back into your spatial storage.

"Who...who are you...?"

"Take your medicine first, then we'll talk!"

After replying, Su Ning picked up the medicine bottle next to her and began feeding her the powdered medicine to treat her internal injuries.

After all the external wounds were treated and she was completely wrapped in a quilt, she regained consciousness.
