Chapter 485: Underground Refugees

By the light of the matches, the three of them saw that the roof and side walls of the bomb shelter were arc-shaped, and the whole thing looked like a deep tunnel. The tunnel is so deep that the light can only illuminate a small semicircular area around it - and deeper, the light of the match cannot reach, just a deep black hole.

The old lady stood hunched over and wrinkled in front of the light of the matches, and looked at the three strangers, who were visibly frightened.

"You came from the ground??" The old lady was surprised that the three of them came from the ground.

"yes, the ground? Is this underground? Xue Ting asked.

"You're still alive?" The old lady asked, leaning sideways in a defensive gesture. In her conception, there should be no living people out there.

"Of course I live," Hwabong replied.

"It's supposed to be us who are surprised, right?!" Xue Ting thought to himself.

From the depths of the tunnel came a coughing sound, sounding like an old man.

"You don't think you're going to be living in this tunnel forever, are you?" Wang Xinrui asked suspiciously.

"yes!? Otherwise, where else can they go? There's been no way to live outside for a long time! The old lady replied as a matter of course, as if she felt incomprehensible to the three of them, "Is there no ghost outside anymore?" ”

It seems that in the old lady's mind, there is no concept of zombies, and her understanding of zombies is ghosts.

"Also, there are some of us who just came down by accident." Hua Bong said, "Do you know where you can go back?" We want to get back to the surface. ”

The match in the old lady's hand had been extinguished, and the surroundings were once again plunged into darkness.

The visual remnants left by the bright light turned into a white image in the darkness -- floating on the surface of the human retina like a ghost.

"Oh, go back? Why don't you stay and go back? Go back and die? The old lady looked relieved, muttered to herself, turned her head, struck another match, and walked towards the depths of the dugout.

At this time, the three of them finally saw that there were several people lying on both sides of the air-raid shelter -- there seemed to be four or five older ones, and there were still three or four young people left.

There were some meadows, mattresses and stuff on the ground. And these people lay on it or sat on it.

The cave was very humid and the air felt cold, and Habbong sneezed. He felt like he was about to catch a cold.

The man who had stammered before walked over, as if he had returned to his place and was no longer so afraid, and he spoke relatively smoothly, but still seemed to stutter.

"Our two families live near the bomb shelter, and there is a hill on the edge of our city, and it is empty, and we don't know that there is a sewer in this company," the man said, "The gate of the bomb shelter is in front. ”

Everywhere the fire passed, it was like a scene in a slum.

An old man, dressed in a thin single coat and wrapped himself in a mattress, sat on the ground, and could not tell whether he was dead or alive if he had not scratched the itch with his hand.

There's another person in the corner, it should be someone, right? In short, I only saw a pile of rotten clothes and strips of cloth, wrapped in a human figure? Looks more like a mummy.

Rats were crawling around on the futon, and these people seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't chase them away.

Further on was an upward slope, and the old lady, as if afraid that she would fall, struck a match.

"Don't you even have candles?" Wang Xinrui asked.

"Candles? How dare you use it until the critical time? The old lady replied, "If you light a candle, won't you have to waste a match?" ”

The three of them were silent for half a second, thinking in unison, "It seems to be too?" But how do you feel that something is wrong? ”

"Do you usually stay in this darkness and don't go out?" Wang Xinrui asked very uncomfortably.

"How dare you run out? Sometimes I open the door of the bomb shelter and let in a little light, a little air, and that's it, I never go out through the main entrance," the man said.

"What about the food source?" Xue Ting was puzzled, he didn't see any food stock in this tunnel. ”

"Isn't that a sewer?! Doesn't the sewer go to some residential areas? We went through the sewers to the city to find something to eat. Anyway, there are few of us, and the old man and the old lady can't eat much, so it's enough to go out once every two or three days. The man replied.

"Are you going to stay underground all the time??" Xue Ting asked.

"Then what else can you do, if you go out, you will die!" The man replied.

"Otherwise, a few of you will move to our place" Before Wang Xinrui finished speaking, Xue Ting immediately let out a violent cough, interrupting Wang Xinrui's invitation.

It's insane!? These people are all old, weak, sick and disabled!! What are you going to do?? I can't do anything, I can't speak clearly, whether I can fit in or not is still a problem, and if I don't do it, it will only drag us down!!

Xue Ting can be regarded as "seeking truth from facts", the other party didn't offer to go with us, why should we invite them? There is no moral problem here, and there is no choice of conscience, so why make yourself so hard?

Fortunately, the man reacted violently first, "No, no, no, no!! Never!!! You don't want to get me out!! If you go out, you have to die, we know!! It was very dangerous when we went to the sewers to find something!! Now there are those bunches in the sewers!! Can't go out at all!! ”

"But" Wang Xinrui was obviously sympathetic to the situation of these people, and she wanted to do something.

Hua Feng subconsciously took Wang Xinrui to his side and patted her on the shoulder, although he didn't say anything, but in fact, Hua Feng's position did not support Wang Xinrui's invitation.

It's just that if Wang Xinrui insists on making such a decision, Hua Feng probably won't strongly oppose it.

Xue Ting immediately interjected, "Although comfort is sacrificed underground, it's also safe, right?" ”

What he meant was to say to Wang Xinrui that it was still safe for others to stay here, and there was no need to sympathize with them too much.

What's more, they are a group of old men and old ladies, and this can only be the case. Xue Ting thought, you can't take them around and slash zombies, right!?

The man immediately responded in tongues and even more excitedly.

"Not safe!! What's safe?? You can't stay here!! You can't stay here!! Now we don't have enough food!! Again, we're all going to have to get something out of the sewers!! ”

There is a black line on Xue Ting's head---Don't wait! Don't wait! Stay here and live like a mouse?? No kidding!!

Wang Xinrui wanted to interject at this time, but the man pushed back in an excited tone. She could only sigh.

"It's okay, they have their way of living." Hua Feng persuaded Wang Xinrui very simply at this time

The old lady walked a long way in front, and at the beginning, in order to see an upward slope, she also drew two matches, and when she reached the back, she went straight forward in the dark.

"Aren't you going back? And from here it goes, and it is the ground. The old lady said, "I can only make a small slit for you, and if it is too big, I am afraid that ghosts will come in." ”

"Where is this out there?" Xue Ting asked, "If you want to go to the north bank of the Red River, is it far?" ”

"It's Maoshan Villa when you go out, but it's actually in the city, on the edge of the city! This small town is not big, and the bridge across the river goes east. The old lady said that Xue Ting only found the information of "going east" from it, and as for "Maoshan Township", it was meaningless to him.

"It's okay, it's okay, you just open a small gap for us, and we'll just squeeze it out!!" Xue Ting didn't want to stay in this deep cave for a moment - he would rather be bitten to death by zombies than rot in this darkless cave.

"There are a lot of ghosts outside, you go out and die, we are not responsible, but you don't stay?" The old lady held the latch that opened the door of the bomb shelter, and said again uneasily.

"Oh, no! Don't worry!! Xue Ting replied.

The old lady then asked the man to open the iron door, leaking a gap. The man first looked through the gap and confirmed that there were no zombies within a hundred meters of the iron gate before opening the door.

However, as soon as the door was opened, the three of them walked out of the door, and once again saw the sky and breathed clean air, and there was a sense of relief.

"Let's go!! Why are you stunned??? The man urged, and the door was about to close.

At this moment, the three of them were shocked at the same time.

It seems to be a mountain col in front of you.

There are indeed no zombies within a hundred meters, but at the awkward place in front, there are hundreds of zombies piled up.

The mountains on both sides are steep and barren, only bare and smooth stones, and it is impossible to climb up, that is to say, without breaking through the corpses, you can't get out at all!!

Hua Feng and the other three only have two knives, a flashlight, and a small pistol in their hands, and it is impossible to compete with these zombies!!

"Then we're shut." The man said behind him, not looking far at all.

"Don't close the door, it's full of zombies outside," Xue Ting didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"What a funeral!! Don't talk nonsense!! The old lady replied, and the two of them had already begun to pull the doorβ€”and the old lady did not see the corpses.

And at this time, the group of zombies outside had obviously been alarmed, and began to rush towards the iron gate in groups!!
