Zhao Yao was in black cloak and his head was not invisible as Roly Poly had gone back to change his eye mask. He looked at the three fatigued and dirty people and asked, “Are… you guys the original inhabitants of OX city?”

The girl nodded. “Are you not?” She and her two buddies looked at Zhao Yao and his torch out of surprise. It was precious to them. Light was scare underground.

Zhao Yao who had five cat’s abilities had to turn on the torch to see. It was needless to say that they needed it more.

“I was traveling here. When I woke up, I realized that the entire city’s people were gone. ” Zhao Yao waved his torch and asked innocently, “Do you guys know what happened?”

The three of them looked at each other and did not know if Zhao Yao was lucky or pitiful.

The girl explained, “The entire city was caught and trapped underground. We have to live underground. If we want to go out, they will capture us again. ”

“Oh?” Zhao Yao looked at the girl out of surprise. He did not expect to get such important information and continued to ask, “Who are they? Why did capture all of you?”

The girl shook her head. “I don’t know. Those things aren’t supposed to exist in this world. They may be devils or aliens. You will know it if you see them. ”

They thought Zhao Yao had never seen the ghosts and hence they explained them that way.

The girl continued, “But even though they captured us, they still provide us with food and drinks. They just did not allow us to leave the underground base. However, suddenly the amount of ghosts guarding us decreased drastically and we took the chance to escape… ”

Zhao Yao understood instantly. A few hours ago, he had been met with an attack from the ghost army. Evidently, they had asked the ghosts underground to come up and attack him. That resulted in a decrease of guards.

After her explanation, the girl was afraid that Zhao Yao would not believe her and said solemnly. “You must believe us. The entire city is in the midst of a crisis. If we want to live, we have to escape back to the surface. Will you come with us?”

Zhao Yao shook his head and laughed. He was here to capture Kun Wu, get the meteorite fragment, and rescue the other soldiers. How could he go back?

When the girl saw that Zhao Yao shook his head, she thought that Zhao Yao still did not believe her. She was troubled. “We are not lying to you. You have to trust us. This city has been occupied by ghostlike creatures. It is very dangerous for you to be underground alone.

First, meet the other survivors with us then we can work together to escape.”

The girl was trying to persuade Zhao Yao to go with them. After all, one more person was one more contribution. Zhao Yao was going to reject her offer but was interested by the other survivors.

“Other survivors? There may be Chinese apostles among them. ”

The girl was going to try again when Zhao Yao looked unmoved. However, her buddy said, “It’s okay Lisa, there’s not much to say to these kind of people. If he doesn’t believe us, that’s his problem. He will believe when he meets the creatures. Maybe he will even be so terrified that he’ll pee his pants.”

However, Zhao Yao nodded and said, “I will meet the other survivors with you. Only after we meet will I then decide if I want to cooperate with you.”

The girl’s two buddies were unhappy about it how arrogant Zhao Yao sounded.

The girl nodded happily. “You can come with us. When you reach our base, you will see that I did not lie to you.”

Zhao Yao followed the girl and saw that she was gathering the lost civilians. She had managed to find about 20 of them in such a short period of time.

Many of them were like the girl and her companions. They had escaped the ghost army but gotten lost in the complex underground passages. Furthermore, they had poor mental strength. Most of them just ran out randomly and were separated.

The girl was out here to gather them back.

Leading the 20+ team, they headed towards the temporary base. The girl smiled warmly and said, “We are lucky. Not only did we meet a lot of companions, but we also weren’t attacked by any ghosts.”

A thought from Zhao Yao pressed the ghost hiding in the darkness onto the wall. The ghost was pressed till it was flat on the wall like a piece of paper and was only released after the girl and her team went by.

Surprised, the ghost looked at its body in surprise. “Paralysis?” And turned away in shock.

All the other ghosts on the way were chased away by Zhao Yao. That was why the team did not meet any ghosts.

Zhao Yao also found out more information from their conversations. They were caught by the ghosts and guarded underground. Although they looked terrifying, they never harmed humans.

In fact, no one ever died from the ghosts. It was the biggest reason why they dared to escape when there was a decrease in the number of guards.

Zhao Yao thought to himself, “Looks like Kun Wu still knows her limits and do not want to harm ordinary humans. Erm… maybe she transferred them underground to protect them.”

Roly Poly had changed his eye mask and was back on Zhao Yao’s shoulders.

When they reached the meeting point, many heads popped out from the darkness and looked at Zhao Yao’s torch.

At the meeting point, there were two groups of people arguing over what to do next.

A few locals said, “No, after the next group of people reach us, we should escape. We can’t wait anymore. If we wait any longer, the ghosts will come for us again.”

On the other hand, a few Chinese apostles were saying, “With so few people, even if we escape, we will not be able to outrun the ghosts. We have to go back and save more people, work together, and escape. There will be higher chances of escaping.”

The few locals were not willing to return. Even if the ghosts did not harm them, their appearance alone was scary enough.
