Chapter 120: Escape Routes and Assumptions
()
"Let's not talk about that, let's go over there and have a look."
Zhou Yang, who didn't know anything about emotional matters, subconsciously chose to avoid this problem.
He didn't know what he thought about Zhen Wei......
But it shouldn't be about love yet...... Probably, probably, it should still be a relationship between colleagues and superiors.
"Okay."
Zhen Wei didn't take it to heart, she hadn't talked about feelings, and she didn't understand such things as feelings, so after Zhou Yang brushed it over, she nodded naturally.
Whew-
Zhou Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in love or something, this topic is really heavy.
But it seems to ......
It's not unacceptable to fall in love with a girl like Zhen Wei, who is almost perfect in his opinion.
Phew, what do you think.
Zhou Yang slapped himself, then his face returned to normal, and he walked with Zhen Wei on the street full of abandoned vehicles.
According to Zhen Wei, it was a bustling business district three years ago, but three years later, only dilapidated remains.
There are no people, dusty buildings and land, countless abandoned shopping carts, and shopping bags that don't decompose naturally.
Here, there is no longer the scenery of the past, and even the bones of people on the side of the road are silently telling something.
"There is no life."
Zhou Yang walked on the road, perceiving other creatures with his soul, but there was no life around him except for the breath of life emitted by Zhen Wei's scorching soul fire.
"Didn't they search for it? This time, it's just a matter of giving it a try. β
Zhen Wei shook her head, not disappointed, the people she was talking about were the Demon Army soldiers and others who had carried out the cleanup mission before.
"Isn't this the ruins of the Lord's Palace?"
As he walked, Zhou Yang suddenly said that he saw the surrounding high-rise buildings and the inconspicuous small courtyard.
suddenly remembered that last time he and Zhen Wei seemed to have broken into here, and then were driven out by the large group of epidemic variants.
"yes."
Zhen Wei nodded, pinching the jade pendant in her arms, her hands turning pale from exertion.
"Let's go check it out."
Zhou Yang suggested to Zhen Wei, this place is different from before, the location of some stones has changed, it seems that the lord of Yang City has already been here before they arrived.
"Hmm."
Zhen Wei replied softly.
"Seriously, I really can't see that the previous lord of Moon City worked in such a small second floor."
As a city, Moon City is not small, but the Lord's Mansion of Moon City is very different from Yang City, and the area alone is several times different.
"yes."
Looking at this ruin, Zhen Wei's eyes were full of nostalgia, and she walked slowly in this courtyard, her expression was happy for a while, and low for a while.
The big eyes that seemed to be able to speak also kept flashing.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhou Yang picking up stones from the ruins and throwing them aside, Zhen Wei, who was awakened by the sound, asked softly.
"It looks like it's empty down here."
Zhou Yang said without looking back, just now, when the roots of the Soul Devouring Ancient Tree spread to his feet, he touched the masonry.
Moreover, the arrangement of the masonry made Zhou Yang feel very interesting, and the masonry was the place where he was digging.
"Empty?"
Zhen Wei was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "I remember, there seems to be an escape passage here, which can lead all the way out of the city." β
"That's it."
Zhou Yang echoed without replying.
It didn't take long for Zhou Yang to see a dusty lid after cleaning off the masonry on it.
"Crunchβ"
It hadn't been used for a long time, and the dampness under the rubble made the connections of the lid rusty, and there was a screeching sound when it was opened.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Looking at the pitch-black passage, Zhou Yang proposed.
He then jumped straight down and landed quickly.
Above, his gaze had already pierced through the darkness and saw that the bottom of the passage was not deep.
"It's so dark in here."
Zhen Wei then jumped down as well, but there were no lights here, and it was pitch black all around.
"Click-"
"What are you doing?"
Zhen Wei, who was startled by the sudden voice, subconsciously bumped into Zhou Yang, and then covered her forehead and asked.
"I really can't use ......"
Looking at the switch in front of him, Zhou Yang shook his head, and then explained to Zhen Wei, "There is a switch here, it should be a tube light...... However, now that it's broken, you can only use a flashlight. β
"Where can I find the flashlight now?"
The dark passage made Zhen Wei feel hairy, and the most important thing was that this was Moon City, which had been abandoned for three years, where to find a flashlight that could be used.
"I've got it here."
A beam of light illuminated Zhou Yang's cheeks and expelled the darkness of the passage.
Because he didn't have the intention of scaring Zhen Wei, Zhou Yang then turned around and walked forward with Zhen Wei in this not wide passage.
"It's a long passage."
After walking for a long time, he didn't come to the end, and in order to expel the silent and embarrassing atmosphere, Zhou Yang spoke.
"Well, this passage leads to the outside of the city, and it won't be finished for a while."
Zhen Wei followed behind Zhou Yang and responded softly. For some reason, after discovering this escape route, her mood actually improved a lot.
β¦β¦
Outside of Moon City, in a dusty place, the land suddenly loosened.
Then a lid was opened, and the dust was bounced up, and some of it flowed into the tunnel.
"That's not a short ......"
After coming out, Zhou Yang patted the dust on his body, turned around and pulled Zhen Wei out of the passage, and said with a smile.
"yes."
Zhen Wei, who entered the escape passage for the first time and walked the whole way, rubbed her legs and nodded.
"You say, will the Lord of Moon City still be alive? Let's say that the disaster happened three years ago, and at the moment when the situation was out of control, the Lord of Moon City and the staff left through the escape route......"
Zhou Yang made an assumption.
"No, she'd rather die in the city and be with the people than run away like a coward."
Zhen Wei spoke very plainly, but for some reason, Zhou Yang was very willing to believe Zhen Wei's words.
"By the way, I think about it, I seem to have seen a lot of bones outside the Moon City Lord's Mansion, could it be that a disaster happened at that time, and the Moon City Lord asked the people to evacuate from the escape route, so ......"
Zhou Yang spoke again.
"Probably, as long as you don't see a body, anything is possible. Actually, I'd like her to be a coward......"
Zhen Wei whispered, looking into the distance.
Zhou Yang didn't speak.
There are indeed no corpses in the ruins of the lord's mansion, there are some bones outside, but they are not women, but in fact, there are no corpses, there is another possibility.
But......
This possibility is not good.
