Chi Huo wanted to call out to Ze Ye for help, but judging from Ze Ye's expression, he probably already knew this was the situation, and that he was being stupid.
He silently shut his mouth again.
Looking back at Ellie, he said, "Hey, hurry up and tell me, if these people kill Chu Rui, you'll have no one left to associate with."
Perhaps it was the word "same kind" that awakened Ellie. She looked up at Chi Huo and asked, "Are all the people outside like this?"
Chi Huo was preoccupied with three things at once, so he didn't have time to answer the little girl carefully. "Yes, that's how it is. We're all the same kind of people."
Ellie lowered her head again, a slight smile playing on her lips. "They're not the same kind of people, not the kind of people I want."
"Huh? What did you say?"
Ellie spoke softly, and Chi Huo didn't hear her at all. He only saw her shake her head and stand up.
"Come with me, I'll take you out."
"real?"
Chi Huo looked delighted, then shouted to Chu Rui and the group of students, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! You can leave now!"
Chu Rui pressed Ellie down, saying, "Isn't it like this outside? There's spring breeze, lotus flowers, and light outside."
Ellie looked up at Chu Rui and smiled brightly, "I know, the name itself is beautiful."
"you……"
Looking into Ellie's eyes, Chu Rui could no longer discern any emotion, and a shadow fell over his heart.
Only Zeno, who was watching quietly from a short distance away, shook his head.
Ellie looked at the students, who were gazing at her with fervent eyes, filled with both hope and profound despair.
She smiled brightly, as if it were just an ordinary day, and that she could go back to swinging after it was over.
“I can take you to another tunnel where you can escape these insect beasts, but the underground structure has been destroyed, and I also…”
Get to the point!
One of them shouted impatiently at Ellie.
Chu Rui's gaze grew increasingly somber.
"The key is that I need someone to act as bait so that we have time to find the tunnel again."
Seeing everyone silent, Ellie's red eyes swept over them like the light of judgment.
"Listen, that rustling sound is the anger of the insect beasts. They're preparing to tear us to pieces and devour us. But sacrificing just one person will allow us all to live. Who do you choose?"
...
"I don't want to die. I'm my parents' only child."
"I don't want to die either, I'm a nobleman."
"I haven't even touched a girl's hand."
...
The incessant chatter created even more acute conflict and panic in the already cramped space.
Chu Rui glanced at Ellie, "I'll be the bait."
"Are you crazy? No way!"
Chi Huo was the first to disagree, gritting his teeth, "If you want to stay, then I'll stay too."
Damn it, he just doesn't believe it. He can't stand these beasts. He doesn't want to be like them. Although people are selfish and want to live, what if the little girl says one isn't enough? Then that pervert Zeye will definitely throw him out too. It's better to fight alongside Chu Rui.
Ellie glanced at Chu Rui and smiled gently, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through."
Zeye gently shook his head. "What deep brotherly affection. Since you want to stay, I'll stay too."
He then looked at Ellie and said, "Little girl, you must get them out of here safely. They are all good people."
"Yeah?"
Ellie didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"If that's what you said, big brother, then I will definitely take them out, after all, we are the same kind."
