Chapter 335:
Joanna was so frightened by the loud noise that she screamed, and when her body trembled, she ran back subconsciously, and the rest of the people were not much better.
Only the old man still stood there, just turned around, and looked at the uninvited guest at the entrance of the cave so vigilantly, it was the Asian man from before.
Walking into this dark and narrow passage, several soldiers with guns in their hands quickly followed behind them. These people quickly dispersed after entering, blocking the crowded crowd on the other side.
However, there is only the slightest rays of light coming in from the drain in the passage, and you can only see the situation in a small area nearby, and you can't see the situation further inside.
"This old gentleman seems to have misunderstood us. We are not cannibals, and we have dealt with many cannibals."
"deal with?"
Joanna asked cautiously.
"Hehe, we killed them, cannibalism is absolutely not allowed, isn't it?"
The old man's eyes lingered on Lu Jiayi and the few people behind him, and finally he spoke.
"We don't want to be enemies with you. This is our chassis. You are not welcome, but I still thank you for saving us."
Listening to the cold voice of the old man, Darryl, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but speak.
"Is this how you thank people?"
The old man didn't care about his words at all, just glanced at him dazedly, his tone still tough.
"Everyone, we will take part of the rations as thanks, but please don't disturb our lives."
After speaking, the old man took a few steps back and walked out of the shadows behind him with several men holding shotguns. Although they were holding weapons, their eyes were full of panic. Lu Jiayi could see a man holding a gun. His hands were shaking slightly.
With the cold words of the old man, the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while, and it seemed that no one was willing to let go first.
The atmosphere in the dark sewer became a little subtle. After about a few minutes, no one on the field spoke. Lu Jiayi was a little strange. Why did these people reject them so much?
If you don't understand, don't think about it. Since the other party doesn't welcome them, let's leave here. This time, I have a mission in the city.
Just when Lu Jiayi wanted to greet everyone to leave, Glenn's call came from the passage behind.
"Lu, a group of corpses is coming, come out quickly."
The call broke the stalemate between the two sides, and Lu Jiayi also took the opportunity to wave his hand, and a dozen people raised their guns and wanted to retreat outside.
Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
"Joanna! Shut up!"
The old man sounded with a bit of anger, followed by a violent cough.
The woman named Joanna rushed to the front of the team unmoved. She blocked the guns with her body, looked at Lu Jiayi, and said in a firm tone.
"Sir, my name is Joanna, and it's my father, Heather, who just talked to you."
"Anything else?"
"gentlemen……"
"You can call me Lu."
"Mr. Lu, can I ask, do you have a settlement?"
Seeing the woman's straight-to-the-point question, Lu Jiayi guessed what she meant, and then nodded to admit it.
Joanna saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she spoke again.
"Excuse me, can I ask if your settlement is safe?"
"very safe."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Joanna's eyes were even more determined, she bowed deeply and said sincerely.
"Mr. Lu, please forgive my father's unreasonableness, he just doesn't want to put us in danger."
Lu Jiayi nodded understandingly. He could also feel the old man's belief in wanting to protect his companions, but in today's age, just relying on belief is useless.
Joanna didn't know what he was thinking, just continued talking.
"We have lived in this dark place for two years. Thanks to some of my father's skills, we can't starve to death, but there are still children and young people. Their future should not be in this dark place. In the sewer, so I ask you to take us out of here, even if we may face various dangers after going out, this is what we should face, rather than living such a life without any hope, it is better to fight. A handful, otherwise what's the difference with the walking dead above?"
Joanna said a lot in one breath, the people standing behind him look at me now, I look at you, all of them don't know what to say, there are young people among them, and there are parents with children, who really hugged before. The mentality of letting it pass, coupled with Lu Jiayi's combat effectiveness as soon as he appeared, really scared them, so when the old man stood up, basically no one raised any objections.
But recall how everyone came here in the past two years. If these people leave, will they continue to eat boiled mushrooms every day? Thinking of this, some young people felt their stomachs tumbling. Coupled with Joanna's usual prestige among young people, more than a dozen young men and women suddenly stood up and walked silently behind Joanna.
Heather finally breathed smoothly at this moment. Although he was speechless just now, he could hear clearly what his daughter said. The stubborn old guy patted his chest angrily and pointed at Joanna. He wanted to reprimand him a few words, but was interrupted by the dense gunshots outside.
"Follow those who want to get out of here. I don't intend to put my companions in danger for a group of strangers."
Lu Jiayi glanced at them, left only one sentence, and left, then quickly returned to the ground.
After about a few minutes, when the team was about to leave again, a group of survivors walked out of the collapsed pothole. These people closed their eyes and covered their eyes with their hands. The long-term darkness made them unable to use the ground for a while. Dazzling light.
Lu Jiayi didn't have time to let them get used to it, so he shouted loudly to get these people to get on the bus. Fortunately, they would have a spare bus every time they went out. It is rare to encounter some survivors, and the people of Ideal Town seem to be used to his attributes.
Rick and Glenn took a few soldiers and quickly picked them up into an empty bus, and the convoy finally left the most dangerous area before being surrounded by corpses.
Joanna and the others, who had survived the death, sat limply on the seats. They had not dripped water for two days. Coupled with the power that had just erupted because of their tension, almost everyone felt a sense of dizziness from powerlessness at this time~www .NovelMTL.com~ At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Hello everyone, my name is Glenn and this is Rick."
"Philip."
"Alex."
"Since you haven't eaten for a long time, and I heard from Ms. Joanna, the food you have eaten in the past two years is mostly fungi, so everyone take a rest first, there is drinking water in the back of the car, you can first Drink some water, as for the food, I need to make it separately for you later."
"Now I will give each of you a bottle of water, and you will wait quietly in the car. We have to perform a task before we can make time to prepare food for you."
Seemingly feeling the friendliness in Glenn's tone, everyone smiled and took the water bottles they handed over.
"Can I ask where we are going now?"
Joanna finally felt relieved after drinking a few sips of water, and then she noticed that there seemed to be no place to search for supplies in the direction they were going, and she couldn't help asking curiously.
Glenn smiled and nodded at her, pointing to a building not far ahead.
"That's our destination."
