Chapter 167
by REX-NOVELISTSLin Qianhuan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
The ground was full of dangers. Even without mutated birds, there would always be zombies and other mutated animals coming to their door.
Although Bamboo could completely deal with these attacks, it was better to avoid trouble.
Besides, Lin Qianhuan was indeed very interested in this underground city and wanted to take this opportunity to explore it for a while longer.
“Will staying at your place bother you?
After all, there are so many of us, and it’s bound to be a bit noisy.
Are there any rooms for rent or hotels here?”
Ji Rong smiled, “Take a look at this underground city, does it look like it has any rooms?
Let me take you to see my place first, and then you can decide.”
After speaking, she turned and left.
Lin Qianhuan turned her head to exchange a glance with Lin Yixuan. After exchanging a look, they quickly lifted their feet and followed.
The underground city had no daytime, it was always a silent night, so most of the walls were hung with lighting equipment.
However, due to limited resources and materials, there were many types of lighting, which made people feel a little dizzy at a glance.
Light bulbs, tubes, LED decorative lights, and even light bulbs dug out from who knows where were hung on the tunnel walls.
Lin Qianhuan found it interesting, looking around with bright eyes.
The group moved forward along the tunnel. Although the light was dim, they could see survivors sleeping on the ground by the roadside.
They were dressed in tattered clothes, thin, but slept very peacefully.
After walking for about 10 minutes, the stalls for trading became fewer and fewer, and more and more people were resting on the ground, apparently moving from the trading area to the living area.
Lin Qianhuan hesitantly asked, “Are we sleeping like this tonight too?”
Ji Rong shook her head, “How could that be? You underestimate me too much.”
After speaking, she didn’t say anything more, just lowered her head and continued to walk forward.
The underground was winding and turning, and even the survivors had developed a lot of new living spaces, which made Lin Qianhuan and her group a little dizzy.
After turning who knows how many corners, Ji Rong finally stopped in front of an awning.
“There, this is my home.”
Lin Qianhuan looked up and saw the most common four-corner awning before the apocalypse.
A few bed sheets and curtains were put up on it to block the view, making it a simple tent.
“Um, I think this awning might not be able to accommodate so many of us, right?”
Lin Qianhuan said a little awkwardly, “I have tents in my space, otherwise, let’s just solve the accommodation problem ourselves?”
Ji Rong nodded in agreement, “That’s fine too, just set up the tent around me.
Don’t be too far away, otherwise, you might be targeted by some ignorant guys.”
Hearing her say this, Lin Qianhuan looked around and noticed something a little abrupt.
“By the way, why are there no other survivors around you?”
Ji Rong unloaded the heavy weapons and equipment from her body, making her figure even slimmer and taller.
“There were before, but they were all beaten away by me later.”
The underground city was the living area for the survivors of the entire Xiangze City.
However, because it was not officially organized, the order was chaotic, and all kinds of conflicts occurred frequently.
Those with supernatural abilities and those with a large number of supplies monopolized nearly 70% of the resources in the underground city.
This led to the poor barely able to fill their stomachs, while the rich could sing and dance every night.
Ji Rong moved her shoulders, “When I first entered the underground city, I was targeted by a group of local ruffians.
They would always find opportunities to attack me, rob supplies, and do things like tripping me up.”
Lin Qianhuan pursed her lips, and could understand.
Ji Rong belonged to the aloof beauty type, and plus she was living alone in the apocalypse, naturally, many people would want to get some benefits from her.
“You beat them all away by yourself?”
Lin Qianhuan was a little surprised, after all, Ji Rong had no supernatural power fluctuations, she was completely an ordinary survivor.
“Yes, don’t believe it?”
Ji Rong raised her eyes to look at her, took off her coat, and threw it on the bed.
She was wearing a sports short sleeve, and everywhere she looked, there were hideous and terrifying scars.
Some had healed, some had just scabbed over, and some were faintly oozing blood.
Sure enough, anyone who wanted to survive in troubled times had to pay a heavy price.
“I actually haven’t learned martial arts, and I don’t know any combat skills.
But I know that if I don’t fight back, I will eventually die miserably.
Anyway, it’s all death, so I might as well give it a try and fight for a way out.”
Ji Rong took out a pile of unknown grass leaves from the tent, chewed them up, and applied them to her wounds.
“Is this herbal medicine?”
Lin Qianhuan felt a little familiar, it looked like weeds that could be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Ji Rong shook her head, “No, I just grabbed it from the road.”
“Ah? You dare to use this?
Aren’t you afraid of infection if you use the wrong one?”
Ji Rong picked up a strip of cloth and tied it around her arm, tightening it tightly.
“It doesn’t matter, at least putting on some medicine can give me some psychological comfort.”
Lin Qianhuan raised an eyebrow slightly, “Is this a cut?
How about I advance you a tetanus vaccine first?”
Ji Rong shook her head, “No need, it’s past the time to get the vaccine.
I have other uses for those five vaccines, I can’t waste them on myself.”
Seeing that she didn’t want to say more, Lin Qianhuan didn’t ask any more questions.
After taking out the tent from the space and setting it up, it was already 10 pm.
There was no one around, so Lin Qianhuan didn’t avoid it. She took out the unfinished table of food from the space and placed it on the open space in front of the tent.
