Chapter 24: Why make him drive and scout the way?
Facing the dark muzzle of a gun, Yuan Tu knew he had no choice.
They fought amongst themselves until only one person remained, all for the sake of a hostage who was hidden the deepest. Looking back now, it's really laughable.
Yuan Tu led Lu Yao and the other two to a modified off-road vehicle and said in a deep voice, "Get in, we need to speed up, the wilderness at night is very dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao gestured for Lao Gao and Liu Qi to get in the car first.
Old Gao took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, holding a gun in his arms, but the muzzle was always pointed towards Yuan Tu.
He was still uneasy about Yuantu, and he would definitely shoot if the other side made any unusual moves.
Yuan Tu was naturally aware of this, and drove off without saying a word, his face dark.
Lu Yao and Liu Qi sat together in the back row. One was watching the live stream chat, while the other looked out at the yellow sand environment with curiosity in their eyes.
In the live stream, no one expected the final result to be like this.
A group of extraordinary individuals fought amongst themselves for Lu Yao's sake, and in the end, only one survived, who was then captured by Lu Yao and his group.
What kind of situation is this?
[One Radish: The situation is currently the best. Once we reach the air-raid shelter, we can wait for others to come and help.]
[Gale force 8: Still putting on an act? I came home from get off work and saw you guys putting on a show!]
[Patrick Star's friend: Brother Chicken looks so stupid. He's supposed to be a boss, but why does he look so dumb? Even more ridiculous than when Han Feng went there.]
[OHYYHO: You're kidding me, this is really funny, hahaha, poor Chicken Bro!]
【…】
The people in the live stream are now fairly familiar with Lu Yao and the others' situation.
Moreover, the number of viewers in the live stream is slowly increasing.
You know, there were less than 100 people in the live stream yesterday, but now it has already exceeded 200, and some people were at work and didn't watch it.
It's after get off work hours now, but I expect even more people will come to watch tonight.
According to those watching the live stream, the situation is quite straightforward now.
The more people there are, the more people can go to the post-apocalyptic world, and the opportunity will be delivered to their doorstep.
Right now it's Brother Wuji and Lao Gao who took over Han Feng's account, but next time it might be three people going, and then all of them will have a chance?
As night fell, Yuan Tu increased his driving speed.
They only drive this vehicle when they go to the gathering place to buy supplies, so there is still quite a bit of fuel left in the vehicle.
As they passed over a hilltop, everyone in the car saw a large area of brightly lit buildings in the adjacent valley.
This is the gathering place!
Although it's just a small gathering place, it seems like there are quite a few people inside.
"That's where the stars gather."
Yuan Tu explained with a cold face, "We have to go this way, and then go down the mountain and take a mountain path to reach the air-raid shelter."
How many people are in the Star Gathering Place? Are there many extraordinary individuals among them?
Looking at the cluster of stars so close to them, Lu Yao thought of Aya and the others, and suddenly felt a little worried.
But Yuan Tu was staring at Lao Gao in the passenger seat next to him.
The person sitting in the passenger seat seemed rather serious, but Yuan Tu could feel that the other person's gaze was constantly on him.
What's even more terrifying is that this person maintained the same posture from the moment they got on the bus.
Even now, the opponent hasn't changed their moves.
This terrifying will is something that ordinary people cannot achieve; even the guards in some large settlements may not have such a firm will.
Of course, what truly shocked him was that this person actually obeyed Lu Yao's arrangements.
This is what he doesn't understand the most.
"There are at least 100,000 people in the Starry Sky Cluster. It doesn't look very big from the top of the mountain, but only a few people with status and background and superhumans are qualified to use electricity."
Yuan Tu seemed to have realized something, and sneered, "Go and take a closer look. There's a large circle of dense blackness around that patch of lights. Those places are packed with people. That's where the real stars gather!"
What?
One hundred thousand people gathered in a mountain valley?
Liu Qi couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "If there's a sudden downpour, won't all these people die?"
He wasn't just making things up. If a torrential downpour were to happen, it could be fatal for the people living in the valley.
Lu Yao took a deep breath and frowned, asking, "How many extraordinary individuals are there?"
"A few dozen, after all, it's just a small to medium-sized settlement, with a complex internal structure, and the superhumans don't gather together."
Yuan Tu said calmly, "This is the inherent weakness of human nature. Even when barely surviving in the apocalypse, people will still be wary of and fight each other. This is one of the main reasons why we are unwilling to seek refuge with them."
After saying that, he continued driving attentively.
It seems that for him, staying in the air-raid shelter is better than staying here.
Lu Yao and the others watched as the mountain valley was gradually blocked by the mountain peaks, and the lights in that area quickly disappeared. Then there was a long dirt road leading uphill.
The dirt road was a bit bumpy, but it was still a relatively smooth journey for them.
Before midnight, they successfully arrived at the abandoned air-raid shelter.
After getting out of the car, Yuan Tu glanced around and then frowned, saying in a cold voice, "Someone has been here before, and not long ago."
After saying that, he squatted down, picked up a small clump of soil, put it in his mouth, and chewed it, as if that was the effect of his ability.
A moment later, he looked up and said, "They went in an hour ago and haven't come out yet, and there are at least ten of them!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel nervous.
To be honest, this is definitely the best hiding place. The air-raid shelter leads directly down and is surrounded by a large iron fence.
The interior was somewhat dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, as if it hadn't been used for many years.
But renovating such a place is definitely the most promising option.
Old Gao turned his head and frowned, saying, "This place is quite good. It's sparsely populated, and the path up the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we use this place as a stronghold, it would definitely be the best choice."
"But this place is already occupied."
Lu Yao took a deep breath and turned to explain, "Ten people went in here an hour ago, and they haven't come out yet."
This is not good news.
If all ten people are extraordinary individuals, then they certainly won't have the advantage.
"Send him in to scout ahead!"
Liu Qi immediately stepped forward, pointed to the distant map, and whispered, "We can't just go in and die, can we? He's a superhuman, and he's skilled at tracking. Going in to scout ahead is definitely the most suitable thing for him..."
Why make him drive and also scout the way?
The true face of capitalists...
