Chapter 1935: Chapter 1935

Xu Yang thought about this, and glanced across, where his other neighbor was tightly locking the cell door, God knows what he was doing. But it seems that the other party probably wouldn’t pay attention to him, and Chen Mingyi, whom he knew, still stood at the vent watching outside, completely ignoring him.

Feeling somewhat relieved, Xu Yang played the arcade game while casually reaching towards the place where the bottle of red wine was, but before his hand could touch the wine bottle, his sharp senses picked up the sound of footsteps coming from the distant corridor. Although he didn’t know who it was, it was enough to scare him into quickly withdrawing his hand and pretending to be excitedly playing the arcade game.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and appeared a girl with a pretty face, holding a pile of books in her arms. She immediately looked at the man playing the game in her room, her face covered in frost.

"What are you doing here?"

"I... just playing a game, just, just a little bit." Xu Yang seemed somewhat embarrassed.

The girl uttered a single word, Xu Yang didn’t dare to stay any longer, quickly stood up and ran out, entering his own cell.

Among the few women in this underground prison, that girl was one of those he wouldn’t dare joke with. Others might not take action, but this woman certainly would! And without any consideration of consequences!

Xu Yang’s embarrassed escape into his cell elicited laughter from people in other cells, and someone from the distant cell number forty-six shouted: "Yunxuan sister, hit him, that chap is very foul-mouthed usually, been wanting to deal with him!"

"Exactly! Check carefully if anything’s missing in your room, he must have stolen something."

The girl’s heart wasn’t swayed by the jeering sounds fearing no chaos around, she went in and locked her cell door after Xu Yang left, no one knowing what she was up to.

She threw the books onto the bed, picked one up and quickly flipped it open, soon finding a piece of paper tucked inside, with a sentence written in scrawled handwriting.

[From my investigation, it seems Su Sigui’s focus is not on us; she’s trying to connect with the Zombie King of local China through Li Henian, and these rumors likely have a great chance of being true. If we leave within a short time, Su Sigui probably won’t pursue us.]

[Think carefully, Lingchun City is something we’ve spent ten years to obtain, filled with the memories of fallen comrades and our lifetime’s efforts. If Liao Pingjun’s coup succeeds, we will be like rootless duckweed, merely drifting along.]

[Chu Yunxuan, if you’re decided, come to room four, we’ll set off tomorrow at noon.]

The girl read the content with an expressionless face, and the next second, she tore the paper into pieces and tossed it into the trash bin.

No need to think further, she had already made her decision.

Standing up, she opened the door again, preparing to head to room four. But just as she turned, she saw a group of people walking down the corridor. These were not the Level 8 new humans imprisoned below, but rather Level 8 new human powerhouses directly under Cloud Gorge Base.

The girl stepped back silently, while the group led by Chi Biyi walked down the hallway, knocking on the cell doors along the way. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Come out now." Chi Biyi stopped when he was near the girl, shouting loudly, and soon, one after another Level 8 new human powerhouses came out of the rooms, looking at Chi Biyi with puzzled expressions. The girl silently exchanged a glance with a man coming out of room four from afar.

The man looked weary and remained silent.

Someone asked Chi Biyi: "What’s up? Are we released? Freedom now?"

Chi Biyi turned his head and replied: "Sort of, but not really."

Giving a vague answer, Chi Biyi looked at everyone and shouted: "Alright everyone, Cloud Gorge Base has somewhat wronged you during this period of time, but all of you understand the greater power comes greater responsibility, right? You’ve enjoyed high status in human society, and now it’s time to take up the responsibility belonging to you."

"This human group now desperately needs you. If anyone chooses to evade, there’s no point in existing. I’m not threatening you, but it’s inevitable, because when the sky falls, it’ll only hit us first. If we don’t hold it up, the end result can only be death!"

"I know you all want to live, as do I. If anyone doesn’t want to live, you must at least pass on everything you have to others."

"I don’t want to die or be enslaved, let’s say as a joke, adults want everything, kids make choices, but to have both fish and bear paws requires effort, my words end here, whatever you choose is your own matter."

"Come on, let’s all go out." With that said, Chi Biyi waved his hand, leading the people out of the underground prison.

No one refuted him, though standing at the same level, behind Chi Biyi stood the Level 9 new human Su Sigui.

After Chi Biyi left, Chen Mingyi was the first one to let out a wry smile: "Heh, in short, they barely give us any choice, either way, it ends in death. Let’s go, follow them out."

With Chen Mingyi leading, all the Level 8 new humans in this underground prison silently left the prison together, and the girl quickly approached the man emerging from room four, frowning and asking quietly: "Now what will you do?"

Despite his exhaustion, the man chuckled: "What else can be done? Just follow them out and see."

The girl fell silent without further words.

Everyone left the underground prison, emerging from the entrance of the Imperial Building, greeted by crowds with large packs on the streets, surrounded by countless guarding soldiers, people silently forming a massive flow heading towards the Anti-Zombie Wall Gate to exit Cloud Gorge Base.

The noise of people’s shouting, discussions, and the sound of broadcasts blended together, making the atmosphere extraordinarily bleak.

The southern sky was lit up, a vivid blue sky seemingly calming people’s restless hearts, but it didn’t resemble midnight at all.
