Chapter 599: The Trapped People
"Dr. Gu, please eat something. Your physical condition is not optimistic."
Meng Yan persuaded with a piece of black food in his hand.
"You guys can eat, I'm fine."
The old man with gray hair was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Dr. Gu..." Meng Yan smiled bitterly, "Why are you doing this? Have you not been praying to return to Dazhou?"
"Before, I was praying that I could bring things back, hoping to save Dazhou."
The old man sneered, "It's been five years. In the past five years, I have been running around, and several safe houses have been destroyed."
"Save Dazhou? Look, have we met the exploration team? Now that we are trapped here again, why should we go back to Dazhou? There is no way to save it. Let's wait to die."
The old man leaned against the wall and what he said was a bit ridiculous.
But at this moment, there was no smile among the people in the room.
He's right...
The plight of everyone at this moment is almost suffocating.
"Xiao Meng, please share the food with everyone." Dr. Gu said softly, "You are combatants, so you should replenish your physical strength."
"Yu...Sister Yu." Meng Yan looked at the figure by the wall as if asking for help.
The body wrapped in shadow left the window, walked towards Meng Yan, and took the food directly from his hand.
"Sister Yu?"
Meng Yan was stunned.
But obviously he misunderstood.
Yu Yanxi took the food and did not swallow it all, but walked to the old man.
"Dr. Gu, the situation is not that bad yet. You have been of great help to Da Zhou. You should work hard and try your best to survive."
The clear voice spoke, making people wonder what kind of face there would be under the shadow.
It's a pity that she has always been wearing a shadow coat since she appeared, her two pupils are shining with a faint luster, and the overall look is very mysterious.
However, given the current living environment of everyone, no one has the time to think about this.
What they live is a "refugee" life in the true sense.
"You..." Dr. Gu's eyelids trembled, and he squinted slightly to see who was coming, "Xiao Yu, you are the strongest, you can eat it."
"Dr. Gu, you have forgotten that I can absorb shadow, so it doesn't matter if you don't eat it." Yu Yanxi said calmly.
"You kid started talking nonsense again. How can anyone not eat..."
Snapped!
He poked his ribs with his fingers, tapped the pit of his heart quickly, and then stuffed the food directly into the old man's mouth.
"Dr. Gu, I'm sorry." Yu Yanxi said, but her hand movements were not polite.
"you……"
Chew chew chew…
After not eating for a long time, the black stuff doesn't look good. When it enters the mouth, the aroma of fat and meat is mixed with the aroma of herbs and fruits that relieve greasiness.
The taste is honestly really good.
Although Dr. Gu wanted to refuse, his body started chewing very honestly.
After a few mouthfuls, the food went down the throat and entered the body, bringing a bit of warmth.
The extraordinary power contained in it quickly dissipated in the body, replenishing physical strength.
"Xiao Yu..."
Dr. Gu sighed.
"We still have a chance." Yu Yanxi walked to the window again and leaned out through the gap.
"I can go out to collect food during the day and just stay in the room at night."
"It's useless." The old man smiled bitterly, "Doing this is tantamount to committing suicide slowly."
"We have been locked by the pupil species. We will find out immediately when we go out."
Speaking of this, his expression hesitated for a few seconds, "If not, just leave the thing..."
"Dr. Gu." Meng Yan interrupted him, "We paid such a high price and lost so many companions before we could get the things. If you want to hand over the things, I really can't accept it."
"Moreover, we have been locked up. Even if we hand over our things, how big is our chance of survival?"
Meng Yan, who looked like a silent and honest man, said in a loud voice at this moment.
"Besides..." He lost his momentum and said, "Doctor, haven't you always wanted to bring things back to Dazhou?"
"I really wanted to do it before, but do we have the conditions now?"
Perhaps the food he ate provided some strength. Dr. Gu opened his eyes and his voice became richer:
"If this continues, everyone will be trapped and die here. Take your things and run away separately. We can escape if we have a chance."
The old man's eyes were firm.
Meng Yan's idea has not changed, "Escape separately, and then what. If it's so difficult to survive together as a group, won't it be even more difficult after we separate."
"Then what else can we do?" Dr. Gu couldn't help but get angry when he said this, "Everyone gathers here to wait for death? If you give it a try, there is hope. This place is about to become a forbidden area. Do you think it is safe here?"
After saying that, he coughed violently.
"Dr. Gu, please be patient." Meng Yan quickly stepped forward with a wry smile and patted the other person's back to cheer him up. "It's not that I don't know this, I'm also thinking of a better way."
"By staying here, everyone can finally take a breather and carefully discuss whether to stay or not. We currently have limited manpower and cannot withstand the hassle."
"It is precisely because of limited manpower that we should survive in the cracks. Xiao Meng, you have lived in the abyss for several years, you should know this truth."
After Dr. Gu finished his last sentence, he sighed heavily, closed his eyes again and sat down.
It's pretty clear now.
Dr. Gu advocates that change will come later, and you should rush out as soon as possible to find a chance of survival.
Meng Yan hopes to seek stability and preserve the results.
I really can't tell who is right and who is wrong.
It should be said that both options have their own risks.
The conversation ended unhappily, and the room became increasingly silent.
The house is about ten square meters.
The space was not that big to begin with, but with a small bed and tables and chairs piled up, eight people in the room seemed very crowded.
Dr. Gu, Meng Yan, Yu Yanxi.
There are five people left, three men and two women.
They all looked to be in their thirties, with a tired look on their faces.
Dr. Gu and Meng Yan were mostly silent when they argued.
"It's getting dark soon."
Yu Yanxi, who was observing the sky, spoke.
Several people in the room were shocked.
"Let's go, we should go back and meet again in the daytime tomorrow."
Several people left one after another. Meng Yan wanted to stay, but finally a man patted him on the shoulder.
"You and Dr. Gu should separate and calm down today, in case you get into a fight at night and attract resentful spirits."
"Am I this kind of person?" Meng Yan stared, and finally looked at the doctor, and he suddenly felt like a deflated ball.
"Okay, Brother Song, take good care of Dr. Gu."
"Do not worry."
The man waved his hand.
Everyone left the house one after another, and soon only the strong man and the old man were left in the room.
The setting sun shines on the gravel road, and the mottled light and shadow are not as pleasant as they should be in the evening. Instead, they are filled with cold air.
Everyone was shocked and no longer delayed.
There are several vacant rooms around.
Working in pairs, they quickly got in.
"Sister Yu, you and me."
Meng Yan asked aloud.
"good."
Yu Yanxi's words were concise and to the point.
The two chose a house not far across the path, quickly entered and closed the door.
Woo——!
Chapter completed!
