The boy hesitated for a moment, and when he heard Lu Yuan ask him to lead the way, a hint of nervousness appeared on his face.
"I...I'm too scared to go. That place is too dangerous."
The people next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes, that place is dangerous because the Saviors are stationed near that cave."
“That’s right. The Saviors have been entrenched in that place for a long time because they often find food in that cave.”
"They like to throw leftover human bones down there. These people are wicked and we don't dare go near them!"
After hearing what everyone said, Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Have you forgotten? We have an army and weapons, why are we afraid of them!"
Lu Yuan is no longer worried about these saviors, because if they really do come, his army and equipment can easily crush them.
After all, very few weapons have left China. Even after the apocalypse, the military and police forces have maintained very strict control over weapons, and most of these weapons were already used up in the years since the apocalypse began.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone was still somewhat skeptical. However, after glancing at the weapons and equipment carried by Zhou Tong and the others, the young man finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll take you there, but you have to bring the food over first."
Lu Yuan didn't say much, and simply took out a few packets of food from his pocket and handed them to the other person.
"I'll give you this much for now. Once we get there, I'll give you the rest."
The boy was overjoyed when he saw the food, and the others also felt a little regretful that they hadn't told Lu Yuan sooner.
But to be honest, it seems a bit too late now. We can only watch helplessly as Lu Yuan and the others leave the stadium led by that boy.
To ensure the safety of the aircraft, Lu Yuan had the pilot return to the plane and also left several people behind to guard it.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, they can immediately take the plane away, preventing Lu Yuan and his group from having their means of transportation back destroyed.
We continued walking along the messy road, and every now and then there were puddles and cracks on the ground, and many holes appeared in the nearby buildings.
These pits were clearly dug by humans, and through them, one could see that there was some household garbage inside.
As the boy walked, he explained, "We usually live in this place. These holes help us keep warm!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, secretly admiring these people. However, his mind was entirely focused on Xiwen, so he didn't talk much to the boy along the way. The boy seemed to know that Lu Yuan wouldn't harm him, so he started talking more along the way.
After walking for about half an hour, the boy finally stopped after identifying the direction and low point. He carefully pointed to several small hills in front of him that had been covered by mud.
"Once you cross that hill, you'll reach the outskirts. That's where the pit is located! The Saviors often patrol this area around the hill!"
Lu Yuan nodded and waved to the team members behind him: "Start setting up a perimeter nearby. Don't reveal our position!"
Several team members nodded immediately, while Lu Yuan continued to follow the boy forward.
The mud hill in front is not actually a natural mountain, but a mound formed by the compression of tectonic plates after an earthquake.
Originally, there weren't many mountains in Shimizu City. The only highest one was a small hill with an altitude of just over 300 meters. However, it was leveled when residential areas and schools were built. Now, many more small hills have appeared in this area.
The group continued onward, and after crossing the small mound, they indeed saw some lights flickering ahead.
Lu Yuan took a look through his binoculars and saw a dozen or so camps in the distance, none of which were very large.
Moreover, there weren't many people in these camps. A rough estimate showed that there were more than a dozen such camps scattered around. It seemed that these people had built the camps around the giant pit in order to surround the pit.
"The pit entrance is just ahead; I dare not take you any further in!"
The boy seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took two steps back in fear.
Seeing the other person's reaction, Lu Yuan gently patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we're here, no one will hurt you, and they would never be able to hurt you!"
Then Lu Yuan grabbed the other man's collar and continued walking forward, forcing the boy to follow.
At this moment, the people in the camp ahead finally discovered Lu Yuan and his group, and immediately a sharp whistle rang out in the camp.
After the whistle blew, the nearby camp was in an uproar, with sparse sounds coming from the darkness, but Lu Yuan was not worried.
A few minutes later, a lot of lights appeared around Lu Yuan and his team. Several people came out of the camp. The man in the lead had a hunting rifle slung over his shoulder, which looked to be double-barreled.
The man had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and was holding a scantily clad woman in his arms. The woman looked pained and was covered in dirt. The man himself wasn't much better off; he was wearing a tattered leather jacket and different kinds of boots.
