Chapter 38
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, Lou Sasha, holding a grenade launcher, squeezed out of the crowd. At the same time, the tall Lou Hua followed behind with a machine gun.
"We are on the same side. Qian, if you have the ability, try shooting."
Lou Sasha was not old and not tall, but she stood in front of Lin Xian and Kiki holding a big guy, quite a sense of a ruthless little sister.
Qian Yu's gaze swept over the few people who were eyeing them covetously, his expression uncertain. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and admitted defeat.
"Brother, don't mind. I just think the two are so powerful, I was purely admiring and speaking with the purpose of cooperation. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"Eh, exactly, exactly..."
At this time, Tang Hai finally interjected. He looked like a peacemaker.
"Everyone don't be excited. Now life is at stake. This fog has trapped everyone. Let's all consider the current situation first. As for other grievances, let's talk about them after we get out."
Lin Xian looked at Tang Hai upon hearing this.
"Is that so? You'd better think so."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit eerie.
Tang Hai's eye corners twitched slightly. He looked at Lin Xian's expression and smiled faintly.
"That's for sure. I know that there must be no trust between everyone. It doesn't matter. I don't trust you either, but everyone's purpose is to survive."
He said, turning to point at the people behind him.
"We have stayed in this air-raid shelter for months, and now dozens of people are all here. Everyone wants to live. Bringing you in actually poses a huge risk to us. Doesn't this show the sincerity of our cooperation?"
"Air-raid shelter?" Lin Xian's gaze swept toward the mountain in the distance. "Then can we stay inside tonight?"
"Of course you can!"
"Everyone can enter the air-raid shelter to rest tonight. It is relatively much safer inside." Tang Hai immediately said to the leaders of each convoy, seeming to express his sincerity.
His nephew Feng Yu Ming said at this time, "Uncle, with so many people, it won't fit inside, right?"
"Just squeeze in." Tang Hai sighed. "The place inside is still quite large."
Opening the air-raid shelter for everyone to enter could indeed dispel some people's doubts.
But although he made this suggestion, none of the convoy leaders at the scene responded, all of them looking strange.
"No need, our convoy won't leave the cars, we will be on guard all night."
Qian Yu responded first. After the tense atmosphere just now was resolved, he just swept coldly over Lin Xian and Kiki, then turned and left.
And the leaders of other convoys also refused one after another.
"We don't need it either."
"Everyone gather tomorrow."
"We are the same..."
Seeing no one responding, Tang Hai didn't say anything, but Feng Yu Ming had an expression of being unable to stand it. "Pfft, cars are not as safe as the air-raid shelter. These idiots."
"Yu Ming."
Tang Hai scolded. "Forget it, it's quite good for everyone to be on their own."
Actually, it was too normal for these convoys to have such a reaction. Not to mention whether people believed Tang Hai, mainly because these people had fled all the way, and it could be said that all their belongings were in the convoy. For them, there was no place safer than their own cars, and they could run away at any time if they encountered danger. In such a situation, who would run into your air-raid shelter?
Tang Hai looked at Lin Xian at this time. "I'll let Yu Ming take you in. You can find a place and have a good rest. Tomorrow I will have to trouble the two of you more..."
"Everyone is in the same boat, so no need for these polite words."
Lin Xian smiled politely, hitting the mark.
He had originally prepared to go into that air-raid shelter to explore. Although there were a few good treasures in the courtyard outside, he couldn't devour machinery in front of hundreds of people, so he used this excuse to probe Tang Hai's tone.
Didn't expect him to actually agree.
So although he smiled politely on the surface, he was a bit suspicious in his heart.
Tang Hai's approach really had no problems, and even appeared a bit stupid in this apocalypse, but he was holding the banner of cooperation to escape. Lin Xian didn't know what purpose this guy was holding for a while. So he could only suppress this concern. Since he couldn't get out of the fog, he could only wait and see with Kiki.
At this time, he prepared to go into the air-raid shelter to see. Seeing Lou Sasha on the side, he stopped again.
Sasha saw Lin Xian's gaze, quickly waved her hand, and pointed to the position of the pickup truck. "You go, my brother and I are used to sleeping in the car."
"You guys be careful." Lou Hua also spat out a few words.
Lin Xian nodded, walked through the crowd of each convoy toward the air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain, and Kiki also quickly followed.
"Hey, bad guy, our motorcycle is still on that car."
"Why, do you want to drive it into the air-raid shelter?"
Lin Xian responded. At this time, as he walked, he inexplicably felt a gaze. He turned his head and saw Feng Yu Ming beside Tang Hai following him.
"Hey, brother, there are our people inside, basically all ordinary people."
Kiki frowned upon hearing this. She didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a moment, and blurted out, "Ordinary people... what's wrong?"
Lin Xian took a deep breath and said faintly, "We are just looking for a place to rest for the night, we won't disturb you."
!
Feng Yu Ming's gaze scrutinized the two, didn't say anything more, and walked to the front to lead the way.
Walking up the hillside, the first thing that came into view was a freight station. A freight track passed through the valley in the fog, and behind the station was a large air-raid shelter.
And on the mountain body above the side of the air-raid shelter, there was also an 1130 close-in defense gun system, showing a majestic outline in the foggy color. Lin Xian's eyes shook. He had only seen this thing on TV before, didn't expect to see a real thing here.
It could be seen that this was not an ordinary military outpost.
Entering from the iron gate, the first thing that came into view was a hollowed-out mountain space, and this large space was used to park various combat vehicles and supplies.
The hangar inside the air-raid shelter was empty at this time. Lin Xian thought that Tang Hai's jeeps might have been found here.
Passing through the hangar of the air-raid shelter, Feng Yu Ming walked in front, and the three followed the stairs down. In the underground facility, the survivors on Tang Hai's side were already sitting in groups of two or three in the hall eating. They were basically ordinary people from Beiwan County, men and women dragging their families and children, sitting scattered in every corner of the basement.
From Tang Hai's mouth, he learned that there were more than this number at the beginning, but as time passed day by day, more and more people died. Many people began to become silent, and the atmosphere of despair suppressed everyone's heart.
"There are warehouses, dormitories, combat rooms, and an armory over there. Stay wherever you want." Feng Yu Ming introduced them indifferently and prepared to turn and leave.
"Armory?" Lin Xian frowned.
"Nothing left." Feng Yu Ming turned back and sneered speechlessly. "If there were good things, we would have taken them long ago. Could we still leave them for you?"
After saying that, he turned and left with disdain.
Lin Xian looked at his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and without a word, took Kiki and walked toward the armory deep in the corridor under the eyes of those survivors.
"Hehe, I knew you would definitely come here."
Kiki looked at Lin Xian smugly. "But this place has been looted too cleanly~ Hey, what a pity."
"Eh, the guy just now specifically said that there are all ordinary people here, what does it mean?" Kiki suddenly asked.
"Don't you see, now we two have become the biggest threat here."
Lin Xian said while walking.
"Haha, he's afraid we'll rob them."
"This is very normal. An ability user can be the core of a convoy. The two of us are still alone, it's inevitable that people will feel dangerous."
This was not a simple air-raid shelter. Although it was only the scale of a military outpost outside, a complete underground project was built under the air-raid shelter, equipped with information combat rooms, armories, storage rooms, dormitories, and other facilities.
"Really a good place to hide."
It had to be said that this was indeed a natural doomsday shelter. As long as supplies were sufficient, it could accommodate at least 50 people to survive here for more than half a year. However, Lin Xian looked at the situation of these survivors. There were many military vehicles and military guns and ammunition, but the food supply seemed to have encountered trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have thought about fleeing before the polar night.
Opening the door of the armory, there were only rows of empty shelves inside. Except for gas masks, helmets, and other things that couldn't be used at all, other things had long been looted by the survivors on Tang Hai's side. The entire armory was filled with a smell of shit and urine, making people dizzy.
Kiki covered her nose and retreated. "Let's change to another place."
