In the end, Xu Lei, who doubted that the rich cat could possibly have successfully dug the hole, was tricked by the half-meter-wide circular pit and ended up bleeding profusely.
But he stubbornly held onto his own idea, believing that even if this long-haired pretty boy could dig a tunnel by himself, it would be impossible for him to successfully dig the underground passage from here to the underground shelter in the central square.
Therefore, there's absolutely no way he could use this passage! And there's absolutely no way he could call that pretty boy "grandpa"! Of course, neither would his father!
But at this point, Xu Lei found it difficult to say anything more, especially after Fugui Cat dug out the round hole above, and Xie Tianlang used his sturdy and sharp metal shovel to quickly remove a lot of soil from under the hole.
In exactly five minutes, Xie Tianlang, the wolf-killer, used a shovel to expand the half-meter-long, half-person-high round hole into a long hole, tall enough for a person to walk upright through—
This height of one person is based on Xie Langren's own height of 1.88 meters, and his height is enough for everyone in this cave to walk forward with their heads held high.
However, this long hole is relatively narrow.
The slightly chubby boy who had been watching closely examined the width of the long hole, then looked at his own protruding belly, and for the first time truly felt that one shouldn't eat too much.
He seriously doubted whether his body could even squeeze into the opening! Even if it did, wouldn't it rub against his stomach?!
The thought that he might have to widen the hole himself in the future made the slightly chubby boy decide to go on a drastic weight loss program for the next few days.
In short, after everyone saw the long tunnel that Sand Dune Cat Fugui and Xie Tianlang had dug in fifteen minutes, the remaining two hundred or so people underground suddenly had the will and strength to live again!
They used to think that digging an underground tunnel was impossible, but now it seems that it is the most feasible and safest way to travel in the future.
Even if everyone moves slowly, as long as they have enough food and water, they will always be able to dig a tunnel underground to their hope of survival!
So now, the most important thing on everyone's mind is how to survive here for as long as possible.
The key to survival still lies with that long-haired youth and the tall man.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Xie Tianlang remained expressionless, and Song Sanchuan seemed equally accustomed to it. Soldiers and warriors always receive the highest expectations, and even if they don't receive gratitude sometimes, they will still diligently stand guard at every post.
Song Sanchuan looked at Gou Fugui, worried that he might not be used to such excessive expectations and potentially unrewarding gazes.
But the wealthy and beautiful man did not feel any excessive sense of honor or guilt because of these gazes. As he said, he did all of this from his own heart. He did it because he wanted to, not because others wanted him to.
No one can morally blackmail him; of course, he is a morally upright and excellent young man.
"I'll rest for ten minutes first. The temperature should drop a bit more around eight o'clock, so I'll go out with an umbrella. I should be able to find some umbrellas for you soon. Then you can be prepared and find some food in the surrounding streets and shops while the temperature is still low at night."
"The fire in the waiting hall has now been extinguished by the rain, and maybe we can find something usable there."
The pampered cat, chin held high, stretched out its paw, and unconsciously scratched at Xie Tianlang's clothes, tearing them. With a slightly smug look, it said:
"Helping you find your umbrellas is the last bit of free help I can give you. Don't mention any other requests or requests for help to me! Meow, cough, I won't be soft-hearted."
Hearing that the long-haired young man was actually going outside to find them umbrellas so readily, even the most thick-skinned veteran felt a strange sense of embarrassment in his eyes and on his face at this moment.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that from 8 a.m. this morning until almost 8 p.m., they have been being helped by these two people, as well as the round-faced young man who didn't say much but provided a lot of first aid medicine.
These three brothers truly became everyone's hope, and what's remarkable is that they didn't ask for anything in return. Their actions simply allowed the 268 people here to see the light of humanity called "kindness and courage."
Human life is a very strange thing.
They are always influenced by their surroundings and the people around them.
When surrounded by evil, scheming, and betrayal, the vast majority of people will choose the same evil, scheming, and betrayal.
But when the beauty of the soul shines brightly, those who see this beauty will also discard some of their darkness and strive to move towards the light.
"Oh, no, no! You've taken such good care of us since this morning! After we get the umbrella, we'll find our own food and tools and we definitely won't bother you again!"
The burly man, who had previously been preparing to flatten a soda can with his bare hands to use as a footrest, waved his hand and laughed: "I'm quite strong too, but I'm exhausted from the heat and haven't had breakfast, so I've been feeling dizzy. Once I've replenished my sugar and calories, I'll roll up my sleeves and start digging a tunnel with you guys!"
"Yes, yes, these young people have already done so much! They make us old folks ashamed! We're just wasting our time sitting here. We might as well do something within our power, unite, and help everyone here survive!"
"Young man, you can rest a bit more. We're not in a hurry. Your safety is our priority. We can't let you get hurt because of all of us, can we?"
Soon, kind words and expressions of concern rang out in the underground tunnel of the subway.
Gou Fugui even received a bottle of Niuhuahua milk from the little boy who was the first one he picked up and whose shoes were stuck to the asphalt.
The little boy looked up at him, his beautiful, pure eyes filled with admiration.
"Big brother, I haven't been able to tell you before how much you thanked me for saving my life! I'm giving you my Niu Huahua as a thank you gift. I'm sorry, I was originally planning to keep it for myself."
The wealthy and beautiful woman looked at the little boy who seemed a bit embarrassed at the end, then at the bottle of milk in her hand. She blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes and actually accepted the bottle of milk.
Then, with the little boy looking at him with a mixture of reluctance and joy, he reached out his mischievous cat paw and ruffled the little boy's hair.
"Alright, I'll accept your gratitude for saving my life. But I won't take it for nothing."
As she said this, Fugui Cat grabbed the thickened burlap umbrella that Xie Tianlang was carrying and swung her toes as she prepared to go out.
However, halfway through his journey, Xie Langren grabbed his wrist. As he slapped Xie Langren's wrist back, the guy raised his eyebrows and said, "You forgot? I have another folding umbrella like this in my bag. I'll go out with you."
No matter what form his Yuanyuan takes or what kind of cheat codes she has, he will not let her go on an adventure alone.
Even if it wasn't exactly an adventure for his Yuanyuan.
Fugui Cat and Xie Langren stared at each other for a few seconds, then Fugui Cat pursed his lips, blinked, and nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'll stay with you guys then."
Cats are just too charming; their owners can never be without them!
Xie Tianlang saw Fu Guiyuan's slightly pointed ears twitch slightly, like a proud and free cat twitching its ears and wagging its tail affectionately at him.
"Hiss..." Xie Tianlang couldn't help but press his hand against his chest.
Song Sanchuan looked up at him, puzzled. "What's wrong with the boss? Why does he look like he's been stabbed in the heart by Cupid's arrow?"
Fortunately, Xie Langren had excellent self-control. He was only charmed for three seconds before he calmly followed behind his Yuanyuan, his steps becoming more cheerful.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two of them left side by side.
Even though we were just walking together, for some reason, it gave me a strange, cloying feeling, as if something had been forced into my hands.
I have a feeling there's something fishy going on between those two.
Until the stubborn second young master, sitting in the corner, mocked again: "There are no shops that specialize in selling umbrellas near the train station, and even the supermarket inside the train station probably doesn't have many! You guys just wait here! He can only bring back three or four umbrellas at most, and he might not even be able to find the last one to use himself, ugh!"
"What's wrong with you?! Why did you throw clods of dirt at me?!" Xu Lei was furious.
The burly man who threw the clod of dirt rolled his eyes at him: "Shut up, you idiot! Even if he can't find an umbrella, he's still helping everyone find a way to survive and a chance to live!"
From top to bottom, who isn't better than you, a spineless second-generation rich kid who only knows how to spout nonsense and rely on your parents?!
"Let me tell you, from this day forward, the long-haired guy is my brother, Wang Daqiang's own brother! If you talk to him, you're talking to me! Anyone who talks to me, I'll slap them and smear them against the wall! Understand?!"
Xu Lei looked at the burly man surnamed Wang, whose arms were thicker than his thighs and whose muscles were bulging. In the end, as if he had suffered endless grievances, he gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and shut his mouth.
Never mind, his grandfather once told him that a wise man submits to circumstances!
But he just didn't believe that pretty boy could find enough umbrellas! If he really did, he'd be the world's favorite, a true protagonist!
Then, at 8:30 pm.
That is, half an hour after Fugui Cat and his servant Licking Wolf went out, the two of them returned to everyone's surprise and anticipation, each carrying a huge, soaking wet cloth bag!
Everyone in the cave rushed forward with delight. The old lady and the aunties quickly offered their concern and care, while the strong men and the other men took the two large and heavy cloth bags.
Then, the cloth bag was laid flat on the ground.
One cloth bag tumbled out a lot of bottled water and various packaged food items, while the other cloth bag contained dozens or even hundreds of umbrellas of different colors and styles.
Underneath these nearly one hundred umbrellas, there were also a dozen or so folding shovels, crowbars, and even children's shovels.
Everyone was shocked and delighted by the harvest. The charming and wealthy cat smiled and pulled out a carton of four bottles of milk from behind him, stuffing them into the hands of the little boy who rushed up to him.
Then, with a "Wow!" the little boy excitedly hugged the rich cat's leg, worshipping him as if he were his own father.
Amidst everyone's joy and excitement, Xu Lei, the second generation, who was in the corner, first stared in disbelief at the food, then at the umbrellas that were far more numerous than he had expected, and finally his gaze settled on the digging tools that could never possibly be there.
He stood there for a moment, then turned around and, where no one could see, slapped himself on the forehead.
Damn, he was wrong.
He was wrong!
That long-haired pretty boy is more than just the favorite son and male protagonist of this world! He can even find digging tools; he's practically the father of this world!
So here's the question: if this long-haired pretty boy is the world's favorite son, then who is this person who's going against the grain?
So Xu Ershao slapped himself again. Then he began to think rationally: what posture should he use to call him "Grandpa" in a more natural and sincere way?
Tian Sisi, the girlfriend who witnessed the whole thing: "…………"
Has he suffered some kind of major shock and lost his mind?!
