The sound of the monster banging on the iron door downstairs gradually died down and finally turned into silence.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this place was hit by wolves at night before, so an iron gate was specially installed. The quality of this iron gate is excellent."
"Young man, you look quite old. What do you do for a living? You must have a purpose for coming to Black City, right?"
Louis thought about it briefly and recalled Du Xing's words: "Once you go to the Black City, don't trust anyone." It seems that Du Xing thought of the possibility that there were survivors in the Black City.
As for telling Xu Da the truth, that was naturally impossible. It would be too cruel for them.
Moreover, he is not ready to show his strength directly at the moment. After all, although he is very powerful now, he should avoid exposing his strength in advance when he is in the dark jungle.
This is why Louis did not brazenly kill the monster before. In this dark jungle, one should keep a low profile and at least find out who is in the building first.
When the time is right, Louis will naturally take action.
Besides, Louis is not arrogant.
He believed that there were still too many powerful people in this world.
He only practiced for less than a year and yet he was able to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm.
He is not so arrogant as to think he is the best in the world.
On the contrary, the more Louis practiced, the more frightened he became, because there are realms above the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the realms above are completely unknown to Louis at the moment.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, you still have to hide first. As the saying goes, only when you are in the dark can you see everything around you clearly. Once your strength is exposed, even the intelligence may be distorted.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you. I don’t know any information about the outside world. To be honest, I came to Black City by chance. As for my career... I lost it several years ago.” Louis’ face suddenly showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping, and he looked a little embarrassed.
This perfect acting directly deceived Xu Da and Xu Tong.
Xu Da sighed and said, "Young man, it's not easy for you either. But our Black City is now completely infected. Do you want to come here to collect supplies? Then you have to be careful, there are too many monsters in there."
“Sometimes, they even kill each other.”
"Young man, you have nowhere to go now, so just stay here for now."
Just as Xu Da finished speaking, a harsh voice suddenly rang out from the corridor: "Save some useless strangers again? Xu Da, do you think we are afraid of you just because you were a policeman?!"
"Have you ever put all of our lives first? Saving one or two is fine, but are you going to keep saving them?"
"I strongly disagree, he stays, get him out!!!"
"That's right, that's right. Do you think our supplies were blown in by the wind? We have to be frugal. How can we have enough food to feed an outsider?"
A man with a yellow wolf tail and a middle-aged uncle walked down the corridor. Both of them had unfriendly faces and stared at Louis with hostility in their eyes.
This certainly doesn't mean they are wrong. In Black City, resources are precious and they just want to survive.
Is it a sin to live? If living is a sin, then it is really ridiculous.
Louis knew this very well, so he also understood what the two people in front of him meant. They simply disliked that his presence would affect the resources in the building.
"...I think there's nothing wrong with having one more person, and it will give us more strength to go out and collect supplies."
Xu Da naturally did not save Louis for no reason, he naturally had his own selfish motives.
Now the threat to the father and son in the building is very great. Because of his rescue, there is one more person, which has caused the resources in the building to decrease a lot. The most critical thing is that a lot of medical supplies have been used up. This is the most critical thing.
But that man did not disappoint Xu Da. After he recovered from his injuries, he immediately went out to collect supplies. The losses incurred in treating them had long been made up.
That's why Xu Da wanted to use the same trick again.
What if you meet someone who is lazy and does nothing?
Kill them and eat the meat, and replenish the supplies. After all, in the Black City, incompetence is a sin.
No one knows about these ideas.
The man with the yellow wolf tail kicked away the chair that was blocking his way and strode towards Xu Da: "One more person, but we still have to see what it is?!"
"What's the use of him? He's so delicate and his face is as white as a woman. How can we save him? Are we waiting for him to sell his ass?"
"Hahaha--"
As the man spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He covered his face with one hand, put one foot on the chair, and rested his elbow on his knee.
"Don't be ridiculous. We don't keep idle people in this building." Then the smile on the man's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold voice. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room froze, as if time had stopped and space had solidified.
Just at this moment, there was a burst of applause from the corridor.
"Well said, very well said."
"Huang Shao, you scolded well."
"But who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to yell at Uncle Da? Didn't anyone tell you to respect the elderly and love the young?!"
"Hey? Isn't that Cheng Tao? Are you here to join in the fun?"
A middle-aged woman walked down the corridor slowly. She was wearing a long white dress and had a cold face. She walked towards Huang Shao.
"After all, the food that everyone eats comes from my store. I am the one who has made the biggest contribution, followed by Uncle Tat. Without Uncle Tat, you would have starved to death long ago!"
"You ungrateful little bastard, you're still calling me that. Staring? Keep staring. If you keep starving me, you won't have any food tonight. I'll starve you for two days, and then you'll know what humility is!"
The woman sneered, passed the man with the yellow wolf tail, and walked to Xu Da's side. "For so long, if Uncle Da hadn't made a schedule and encouraged us to unite like a rope, how could we be alive now?"
"Besides, the recent supplies were collected by Uncle Da and his men, right? What about you? What did you do? You are a traitor. If it were me, you should be shot. You did nothing but shouted for joy."
Huang Shao suddenly wilted after hearing the woman's words. A trace of unwillingness flashed across his face, and he said unwillingly, "It's not like I haven't gone out to collect before."
"Yeah, you went out, and then what? You brought back a bag of potato chips and a bottle of wine. The potato chips were expired, and you drank half of the wine. You were injured and wasted the painkillers. Haha, it's good that you went out this time." The woman rolled her eyes and didn't give him any face at all.
Perhaps because he was scolded too harshly, Huang Shao's face became darker and darker. He gritted his teeth and turned his head away unwillingly, but still shouted: "Then I am at least useful, but what about him? He is so delicate and tender, not even as good as me!"
"Saving him means saving a real burden."
Cheng Tao on the side immediately rolled his eyes and joined in the fun: "That's right, that's right. We won't take in trash unless he can get out and bring back supplies!"
