Linnaeus did not deny it, which can be considered an admission.
"Holy crap, I was your idol back in the day! ...No, wait, you were my idol back in the day!"
The young scavenger excitedly grabbed Linnai's hand: "I even watched your match live on my phone back then! I never thought I'd actually see you in person today!"
"You're still alive! That's wonderful! There's still an apostle among our human race who's alive! Hahaha, that's fantastic!"
"You are now our only hope. Whether our human race can revive our former civilization and drive out those damned demon races depends entirely on you!"
"Everyone in the dungeon will be so happy when they find out!"
"......"
Lin Nai didn't speak, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Alright, we'll go with you."
"Hehe, that's great." The young scavenger turned around and said with a smile, "Come on, boss, I'll lead the way for you."
The scavenger walked ahead, leading them in a certain direction to the east.
Linna and Yewan followed silently behind the young scavenger, exchanging a glance.
"How are you feeling?" Linna asked in his mind through the mental connection.
Night sneered: 'Heh, there are so many suspicious points that it's impossible to count them all.'
......
We walked in the wilderness for about twenty minutes.
The young scavenger led Linna and Yewan to a mountain of ruins, where they searched for something.
At first, Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er didn't know what he was looking for.
But soon, they saw the young scavenger move aside a huge wooden plank.
The entrance to an abandoned subway station is revealed.
Linnaeus fell silent when he saw the stone tablet next to the subway station with the characters still legible.
Nanchenghu Subway Station.
This is next to what used to be the Night's Watch Academy in Yecheng.
Linna clenched his fist again.
In fact, he didn't care whether Yecheng was destroyed or not.
For him, the reason he misses a place is simply because he misses the old friends he once had there.
If he has no friends to miss in a familiar place, then that place loses its value as a place to be missed.
The only people he cared about were his old friends.
Tang Hongshan, Lao Zhang, Lin Yuxi, Dingzi, Yang Xiaochuan, A Guang, and Anan...
And then there are those friends far away in the capital.
If this plane is indeed as the ragged young man just said, completely occupied by the demon race...
So Linnaeus could only hope for a miracle, that his friends were still alive...
Although it's somewhat unlikely...
......
It took the young scavenger half a day of effort to clear away all the branches and scraps buried on the surface, revealing the entrance.
"Come on, let's go in."
The young scavenger gave a wry smile: "These days, it's not easy to find a reliable shelter. Every time I go in or out, I have to disguise myself, otherwise if those monsters find out, everyone in the entire dungeon will be doomed."
Linna nodded slightly.
Hmm, that makes sense.
Entering from the subway entrance, the old elevator is obviously no longer usable, and it is covered with all sorts of dust, sand, and garbage.
The young scavenger led Linna and Yewan down the stairs to the subway station on the underground level.
There was indeed a hidden world inside.
The original subway station has been transformed into a simple underground town, and there are even sounds of machinery operating.
Soon, we saw houses built from simple wooden planks and scrap materials, as well as many simple tents.
Above, ventilation ducts covered in yellow grime expelled foul air, and old, exposed mechanical gears rumbled loudly. The mechanical design almost made Lin Nai think he had traveled back to the steam age.
"Don't you think these machines look too old-fashioned?" The young scavenger scratched his head and said awkwardly, "But there's nothing I can do. This is all I can do. I can only make these simple machines."
Linnaeus glanced at him: "Did you make these machines?"
“Yes.” The young scavenger showed a hint of pride: “I modified it using things that were originally in the subway station and some parts that I scavenged outside.”
"Actually, I did attend a school for superhumans and even learned some mechanics! However, my superhuman level never broke through 0.1 back then, and I was expelled from school in junior high, hehehe..."
Linnaeus: "..."
We walked a little further ahead.
Linna and Yewan'er saw a dozen or so men and women in tattered clothes rummaging through a pile of garbage, mostly elderly people and middle-aged women; and a group of middle-aged men with hoes, digging hard at a pile of rocks and sand.
Everyone looked somewhat numb, their eyes were empty and lifeless, and their faces were sallow with a slight purple tinge. Their complexion did not seem to be caused by malnutrition alone, but rather by some kind of disease.
Even when newcomers like Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er arrived, they seemed too lazy to even glance at them.
Nightfall also discerned Lin Nai's thoughts and said through the mental connection: 'The demonic tide destroyed this Yan Kingdom continent. The entire land must be severely polluted by demonic energy. Those who survive in such an environment, especially ordinary people with little resistance, must all be infected with demonic toxins.'
Linna nodded calmly.
"Everyone!"
Upon arriving at the central area of the underground town, the young scavenger suddenly jumped onto a tall wooden house and shouted excitedly, "We have hope!"
As expected, many people in the underground town were drawn by the young scavenger's voice and turned to look.
Linnaeus originally thought that the people living here had become numb and indifferent after a long period of apocalyptic environment, and would no longer be interested in any so-called "hope".
However, what I didn't expect was...
After the young scavenger shouted from the high place, many people actually put down their dirty work and gathered around.
