The prisoners couldn't believe that Lu Yuan had actually destroyed all their ships. The situation on the other side was still unclear, but no ships were sailing over.

"Phew! Finally, it's over! By the way, how many people are left on the shore? Are there any boats left in the sea?" Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at the prisoner.

"Yes, but... but they're just fishing boats, they don't seem to pose any threat to you!" the prisoner answered honestly.

He was starting to waver. Ever since Lu Yuan had sunk the other party's ship so easily, although he didn't know what method Lu Yuan had used, he was quite resourceful. He even had a slight idea of ​​taking Lu Yuan into the black market to buy identity tokens.

"Oh! That's good! By the way, what's your name?" Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated, Lu Yuan felt much more at ease and casually asked.

"I..." The other party hesitated whether to tell Lu Yuan, after all, his name had been included in the review list. If he passed the review, he could enter the underground fortress smoothly. Before that, he did not want to reveal his name, for fear that Lu Yuan would take notice of him.

Seeing the other person's hesitant manner, Lu Yuan couldn't help but snort, lit another cigarette for himself, and sat down in his chair in a more comfortable position.

"Fine! If you don't want to talk about it, then don't!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan stopped asking questions, the prisoner suddenly wanted to speak again, so he swallowed and said to himself, "My name is Ma Bin, and I'm from Heilongjiang Province!"

Lu Yuan turned to look at the other person: "Oh! I thought you didn't want to talk about it! I'm just bored anyway, let's chat about you!"

Ma Bin nodded, no longer hiding anything.

"I used to be an agricultural university student. I had just graduated and found a job when my family arranged a blind date for me with a girl. We hit it off immediately and dated for a while. We also discovered that we had a lot in common. Later, we planned to pick a good day to get married. But then, damn it, the apocalypse came. We thought we would wait for the apocalypse to end so we could have a proper wedding. But then, we ran out of food and water, and her parents were attacked by mobs. Later, she left, saying she was going to find her parents. And then! Ugh! Damn it! This damn apocalypse!"

The other person stopped talking at this point, making Lu Yuan feel as if there was something left unsaid, deliberately leaving an ending for him to guess.

"Holy crap! Can't you just finish what you're saying? What's the point of leaving half of it out?!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan tossed a cigarette to the other person.

"Go on!"

The other person lit a cigarette, then covered their left hand and continued, "Later, I went to buy some things to get water, and who knew that she had become another man's woman. The key point is that this man already had more than ten women, and she actually sold herself for a bite to eat! At that time, I always felt that she had betrayed me, so I went all out and burned them all to death in the house!"

At this point, Lu Yuan wanted nothing more than to kick the other person. He couldn't support his girlfriend, and he wouldn't even let her find a way to make a living, and this was his way of taking revenge on society! He was utterly a scumbag.

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have let you talk! You wasted my cigarettes!"

"Hehe! So, I made up my mind that I would never be a good person again, but a bad one! Because only bad people can survive in this society! Good people can only be used as stepping stones and trampled underfoot by bad people!"

After saying that, the other person sighed and then took out a crumpled photograph from his pocket.

"I used to be one of the top ten outstanding youths! Can you believe it?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the photo. Although it was blurry, the image was still recognizable. It was the man in front of him. He was holding a medal and smiling at the camera. Although he looked very different now, it was still clear that this was a photo of him from before.

"Hehe! Yeah! Good people don't live long, but bad people live a thousand years! Don't worry! Take us to the black market! By the way! What's the situation at the underground fortress? Tell me!"

The other person nodded.

"There are thirteen entrances to the underground fortress, each about the size of a county town. It's a collection of thirteen different cities pieced together. To maximize population density, the fortress is said to have at least two hundred floors! The cities on the upper levels are where the lowest level of people live. They're said to be perpetually smoky and poorly ventilated, and sometimes collapses occur. The buildings there are mostly used as factories! Once we go inside, we'll basically be going into factories!"

"You just mentioned cities? So everything below is a city?"

The other person nodded: "That's right! There are cities below, divided into many cities. Of course, I've never been inside, I've only heard about them from others! As for the cities below, I don't know, but the further down you go, the better. It's said that they call that place the nuclear punk world!"

Lu Yuan's heart stirred, because before the apocalypse, he had played a game with a theme about the punk world, and it was that game that gave Lu Yuan some understanding of the punk world.

The so-called punk is a fusion of various industrial and technological foundations that far exceed the current living conditions in a backward living environment. Their technology and industrial foundation are very advanced, but the people living in this era often do not have enough to eat or wear. Their food problem cannot be solved, so their living environment always shows a huge disparity, like a person who is starving but drives a supercar and lives in a mansion.
