The husband, supporting the woman, glared angrily at these people.

They're neighbors, aren't they? Everyone is desperately trying to survive in this apocalypse, and in the end, they come together to live in this prison. Isn't that a kind of fate?

But why has human nature become like this? Why has everyone become so indifferent and selfish?

They don't have to help, but why, at a time like this, do they have to stab a grieving mother in the heart?

The young man didn't know why this was happening, and he didn't have the energy to argue with anyone; finding his child was the priority.

Amidst the continued cold and sarcastic remarks, Wang Guangyi irritably turned over again. Finally, he sat up on his single bed, opened the cell door, and said to the helpless young couple outside,

“Come on, I’ll go with you to find the child.”

In the adjacent cell, a member of Wang Guangyi's team reached out from the open cell door and grabbed Wang Guangyi's sleeve.

"Are you crazy? You've been killing mutated beasts for so long, aren't you tired?"

Wang Guangyi shook off his teammate's hand and said only one sentence in a deep voice, "My son is the same age as his son."

The team member standing at the cell door froze for a moment, watching Wang Guangyi's resolute departure. He cursed under his breath, turned around, put on his shoes, and followed behind Wang Guangyi.

The group walked down a secluded passageway.

The young couple ahead were carrying flashlights. When they reached the fork in the road, Wang Guangyi directed them and their teammates behind them, "You two go that way, we'll go this way. Whoever finds it, send a message."

He took out his phone, which had a universal signal connector attached to the back.

His teammate behind him whispered, "These things from Xiangcheng are really useful to us. It's precisely at times like these that Xiangcheng's high technology is truly evident."

Wang Guangyi grunted in response, focusing his attention on the darkness ahead.

He focused on searching for those hidden, secluded places, always worried that such a small child might get stuck and unable to get out.

Then I heard my teammates behind me say with a sigh, "Now that all the signal towers outside are destroyed, we will have to use universal signal connectors if we want to contact others."

"Without this thing, it's like we're walking in complete darkness. Nobody knows what will happen to us in the future. We might die somewhere without even being able to notify our friends. Captain, don't you think so?"

Wang Guangyi did not answer; it's hard for people in the end times not to be filled with a sense of tragedy.

Despite this tragic atmosphere, they still have to persevere and strive to find a way to survive in the future; they cannot give up on themselves.

There was another fork in the road ahead. Wang Guangyi turned to his teammate and said, "Let's split up and look for it. If we can't find it, then we'll just give up."

"This prison is so big, it could hold two or three times the number of prisoners we have now before the apocalypse. Who knows how to navigate the maze of paths here? Don't get lost."

The teammate nodded, "Don't worry, Captain, I know what I'm doing. It's just helping to find a child; I definitely won't put myself in danger."

Wang Guangyi patted his teammate on the shoulder, turned around and casually headed towards a forked path, preparing to walk forward.

Behind him, however, came the teasing laughter of his teammates, "No, no, Captain, I'll go this way, you go that way."

Wang Guangyi turned around and looked at his grinning teammate, who pointed to the road in front of him and explained...

"Didn't we say we'd randomly choose a path? I'll choose yours."

Wang Guangyi had no objections, turned around and walked towards another forked passageway.

He didn't know how long he had walked in the darkness. He listened intently to the sounds in the long tunnel, trying his best to hear the child's cries for help in the deathly silence.

However, they heard nothing, and the further they went, the darker it became.

A putrid smell wafted from the end of the corridor. Wang Guangyi stood still, and it seemed that only his own breathing could be heard in the entire environment.

We can't go any further. We've already gone so far. If the child is still alive, in this quiet environment, even if he calls for help ahead, Wang Guangyi will surely hear him.

He was about to head home when suddenly, a faint scream came from behind him.

Wang Guangyi's ears twitched; it seemed to be the voice of his teammate.

He quickly turned around and ran frantically back the way he came.

Just then, his phone rang. Wang Guangyi picked it up and answered. He heard his teammates screaming, "Captain, Captain, run! We can't stay in this prison..."

"Hey, talk to me, what's wrong? Talk to me!"

Wang Guangyi called out his teammates' names loudly, but all he got in response was a busy signal.

What happened? What's in that forked passageway?

Wang Guangyi dared not think about it anymore.

He hurriedly ran towards his cell, calling Wang Dexuan on his phone as he ran.

However, Wang Dexuan could not be reached by phone.

It was only then that Wang Guangyi realized that Wang Dexuan did not have a universal signal connector.

When they escaped from the village, the two of them found a universal signal connector by chance, and Wang Dexuan gave it to Wang Guangyi.

Therefore, Wang Guangyi has no way to inform Wang Dexuan about the various strange phenomena that have occurred in the prison.

He remained in the darkness, carefully pondering everything that had happened here, as well as the people who had recently disappeared one after another.

The young couple next door, however, never came back.

Someone crouched by his cell door and asked Wang Guangyi, "Didn't you go with that couple to look for the child? You're back, where are they?"

Wang Guangyi raised his deep eyes and stared silently at the man in the opposite cell.

He felt like a fish on a chopping board, and he didn't even know who was going to chop him up.

Suddenly, he saw two superhumans approaching from the end of the corridor.

They waved to Wang Guangyi, saying, "Boss Chen wants to see you."

Wang Guangyi sighed, turned around, and hurriedly picked up the crystal cores he had accumulated in his cell.

He walked out the door with a smile and said to the two people outside, "Mr. Chen, is there something you need to see me about?"

One of the two superhumans replied, "Boss Chen didn't say, he only said you should go see him."

The superhuman living opposite Wang Guangyi's cell chuckled and bowed to Wang Guangyi.

"Congratulations, Captain Wang! You've finally made it big."

They all assumed that Chen Hu wanted to see Wang Guangyi because he wanted to promote Wang Guangyi.

Wang Guangyi was also smiling, and outwardly appeared to show no sign of anything amiss.

"Congratulations! You're all close to a promotion too."
