At this moment, Zhao Yao was wearing a black robe. Because Yuan Yuan had put on a blindfold, his head was no longer invisible and was completely exposed. Looking at the three people in front of him, he thought for a moment and asked, "Are you … originally residents of Ox City?"
The girl nodded. "Aren't you?" She and her two companions looked at the flashlight in Zhao Yao's hand in surprise. This was a good thing. There was a lack of light in the underground space.
After all, even with Zhao Yao's Strength of Five Cats' Insight, he had to turn on the flashlight to see them, let alone ordinary people.
"I just happened to be here for a vacation. When I woke up, I found that the people in the city had disappeared." Zhao Yao waved the flashlight in his hand and said with a harmless expression, "Do you know what happened?"
The three people looked at each other and looked at the man in front of them, not knowing whether he was pitiful or lucky.
The girl explained, "The people in the entire city have been captured. We can only live underground now. Once we want to go out, they will capture us."
"Oh?" Zhao Yao looked at the girl in surprise. He didn't expect to receive such shocking information as soon as he arrived. He then asked, "Who are they? Why did they capture everyone? "
The girl shook her head. "I don't know. Those things are not life forms that should exist in this world. Maybe they are demons or aliens. You will know when you see them."
They thought that Zhao Yao had never seen ghosts before, which was why he gave such an explanation.
The girl continued, "In any case, they captured us and locked us in the underground base of Ox City. They gave us food and water, but they didn't allow us to leave. However, the number of people guarding us suddenly began to decrease. We launched a wave of attacks, and finally, a few of us escaped … "
A trace of understanding flashed in Zhao Yao's eyes. A few hours ago, he was besieged by an army of ghosts. Obviously, at that time, the ghosts underground were transferred to besiege him, causing the number of people guarding them to decrease.
After explaining, the girl was worried that Zhao Yao wouldn't believe her, so she said in a serious tone, "You must believe us. Right now, the entire city is in danger. If we want to live, we must escape underground. Why don't you come with us?"
Zhao Yao shook his head. What a joke! He was here to capture Kunwu and the meteorite fragments, and he still had to save people. How could he possibly go back?
Seeing Zhao Yao shaking his head without a care in the world, the girl thought that Zhao Yao still didn't believe her, so she vexed, "We're not lying to you. You have to believe us. This city has already been occupied by monsters, and it's dangerous for you to move around underground.
First, come with us and join up with the other survivors. Only by combining everyone's strength will we have a chance to escape. "
The young girl wanted to persuade Zhao Yao to go with them. After all, the more people there were, the better. Zhao Yao originally wanted to refuse, but the mention of other survivors attracted his attention.
"The rest of the survivors? I wonder if there are apostles from the country inside. "
Seeing that Zhao Yao was unmoved, the young girl wanted to persuade him again, but her companion said, "That's enough, Lisa. There's no need to persuade this kind of person. If he doesn't believe us, then so be it. When he sees those monsters, he'll naturally believe us. Who knows, he might even wet his pants."
Right at this moment, Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I'll go with you to meet up with the other survivors. But after we meet up, I'll make a decision on whether or not to cooperate with you."
When the two companions of the young girl heard Zhao Yao's words, they were unhappy. After all, what he said was too high profile and arrogant in their ears.
However, the young girl nodded happily. "Then come with us. When you get there, you'll know that I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."
So Zhao Yao simply followed the young girl. Along the way, he saw that she was looking for refugees who had escaped. In a short period of time, she had gathered more than 20 people.
Clearly, many of them were in the same situation as the young girl and the others, taking the opportunity to escape from the ghost army. However, because the underground tunnels were too complicated, and the refugees were too mentally weak, most of them were just running around aimlessly, so most of them got separated.
The young girl in front of Zhao Yao had specially come out to gather the refugees.
Leading the team of more than 20 people, she headed towards the temporary base of the refugees. A warm smile appeared on the young girl's face. "My luck is really not bad. Not only did I meet so many companions, but I also didn't encounter any ghost attacks. I'm really too lucky."
With a single thought from Zhao Yao, a zombie hidden in the shadows above him was pressed against the top of the wall. It was pressed like a piece of paper, unable to move. It was only after the young girl's team had gone far away that it was released.
The zombie looked at its body in shock. "Ghost Pressing Down?" In the next moment, it turned around and left in fear.
Along the way, they encountered other ghosts, but they were all subdued and chased away by Zhao Yao. This was the real reason why the team had not encountered any ghost attacks along the way.
Zhao Yao also found out more details about the situation from the conversations of the people in the team. They had been captured by the ghosts and kept under guard underground. Although the ghosts looked terrifying, they did not really harm them.
In fact, no one had died in the hands of these ghosts. This was the biggest reason why they had dared to escape after the number of ghosts guarding them had decreased.
Zhao Yao thought to himself, 'Looks like Kunwu still has some self-awareness and has no intention of harming ordinary people. Mmm … Perhaps moving the ordinary people underground is to protect them. '
Yuan Yuan had unknowingly changed her blindfold and was once again lying on Zhao Yao's shoulder.
Next, they arrived at the rendezvous point. As Zhao Yao shone his flashlight over, many human faces stretched out from the darkness, looking in the direction of the light source in astonishment.
At the outskirts of the campsite, two groups of people were arguing about their next course of action.
A few local middle-aged men said, "No way! When the next batch of people arrives, we'll directly break out of the encirclement. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, those ghosts will find us again. "
On the other side, a few of the Chinese Apostles said, "With just the few of us, even if we run now, we won't be able to outrun those monsters with extraordinary powers. We have to turn back and save more people, uniting more forces to break out of the encirclement. This is the true hope."
