Chapter 173 Taoist Priest, where are you going?
The crowd fell silent for a moment, but the silence did not last long.
"Everyone listen to me, charge! They don't have as many bullets as we do!"
Following this loud shout, those who had been hesitating and not moving tried desperately to push forward again.
For them, even if they are not shot to death, they will starve to death.
Since we will die sooner or later, of course we have to fight hard before we die.
Before a person dies, the potential they unleash is unlimited, and since they were outnumbered, even though some of them were shot to death, they quickly gained the upper hand and took control of the situation.
The leaders took their guns and shouted, "Everyone follow me! From today on, the dungeon is ours!"
Everyone cheered and followed behind, heading towards the next level.
There are no residents on this floor, and the warehouse is not here. If you want food, drink and a place to live, you have to go downstairs.
As these people left, this floor gradually returned to silence, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
There were three people standing in a dimly lit corner.
These three people were none other than Mu Qianqian, Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest.
From the moment the conflict broke out in the crowd, the three of them quietly hid in a corner.
They neither wanted to be bullied nor to fight with these survivors.
But the three of them also understood that it was not so easy to stay out of it.
No matter who is in control of the situation at that moment, the days that follow will not be peaceful.
Mu Qianqian sighed and looked up at the stairs.
"I don't know how Nan Ci is doing now."
Zhou Ziyang patted Mu Qianqian on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Don't you know Nan Ci's ability? She will be fine."
Mu Qianqian was not so optimistic. She shook her head with a heavy heart. "Although Nan Ci is very capable, she can't cook without rice. She left with her cubs without any food or drink. She even left the base. In such weather, I don't know if she has found a safe place to hide, or if she has food or drink..."
The more Mu Qianqian spoke, the more worried she became. Her voice became choked with sobs and tears welled up in her eyes.
That day, when Nan Ci left, she said that she would be back late and asked them not to wait for her for dinner.
After dinner was ready, they specially served food to Nan Ci and left it aside before eating together.
But until they finished their meal and it was completely dark outside, Nan Ci still hadn't come back.
They were worried and were about to go out to look for him when a snowstorm suddenly hit.
The strong wind and blizzard did not give them any chance to move forward. Not to mention finding anyone, they couldn't even see what was happening two meters away.
The three had no choice but to retreat back to the RV.
But in that kind of weather, the RV was not safe either. It was blown into the igloo by the wind, and they were blown all over the place while sitting inside.
Although they really wanted to wait for Nan Ci in the RV, the situation did not wait for anyone. In the end, they had no choice but to pack up some supplies and rush to the underground city with other survivors nearby.
During the days in the dungeon, the three of them had been searching among the survivors, hoping to find Nan Ci.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
After several days, they searched all the survivors, but there was no trace of Nan Ci.
At this point, even if they didn't want to believe it, they had to admit that Nan Ci really did not enter the dungeon.
In the relatively safe underground city, it is difficult to live a stable life. Mu Qianqian really didn't dare to imagine what kind of life Nan Ci was living at this moment.
Zhou Ziyang wanted to comfort Mu Qianqian again, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
The old Taoist priest, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke at this moment.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Nan Ci is more capable than you think."
Mu Qianqian, who was crying silently, suddenly heard these words. She no longer cared to continue crying and immediately looked at the old Taoist priest.
"Master, what do you mean by that? Do you know something?"
The old Taoist priest smiled and shook his head, "I didn't say anything."
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang looked at each other.
Since both of them were very curious about the meaning of the old Taoist's words, but they had been together for such a long time, they also understood the old Taoist's character and knew that he would not tell them even if they asked again, so they did not ask again.
For Mu Qianqian, it was enough to know that Nan Ci was safe.
If someone else said this, Mu Qianqian probably wouldn't believe it.
But these words came from the old Taoist priest's mouth, and Mu Qianqian believed them without a doubt.
"As long as she is safe."
As Mu Qianqian spoke, a smile appeared on her lips.
The old Taoist priest also laughed, "Instead of worrying about her, we might as well worry about ourselves. From now on, life in this underground city will be difficult."
Zhou Ziyang's face was gloomy. "The Taoist priest is right. We can't just sit there and wait to see who will be the winner. We need to find a way to ensure our own safety."
Before, Mu Qianqian was only concerned about Nan Ci's safety and had not thought about what they should do next. Now, after hearing what the two said, she became a little anxious.
"Master, Ziyang, what do you think we should do?"
Zhou Ziyang thought for a moment and said, "While things are in chaos right now, we should find a safe house to live in."
They brought a lot of supplies with them, and if the three of them eat frugally, they should have no problem lasting ten days or half a month.
As for what to do after ten days or half a month, we can only take it one step at a time.
What if they don’t live to see that day? Wouldn’t all that thinking be in vain?
The old Taoist nodded in agreement. "We won't get involved in their power struggle, but we can't let them make their own decisions. I've just carefully observed that, except for this square, most of this floor is filled with shops and stores.
In addition, there are two rooms equipped with stainless steel doors and windows. These are where the management staff live, so security is guaranteed.
If we occupy those two rooms, we won’t be attacked from all sides, and we won’t have to eat or sleep poorly anymore.”
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang had no objection to the old Taoist's proposal.
After the three of them had discussed it, they decided not to waste any more time and immediately headed towards the room the old Taoist priest had mentioned.
The manager of this floor had been killed, and the survivors all went downstairs. The two rooms had also been searched, and the door was open at this time, which was convenient for them.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the door of the room, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Master, where are you going?"
The sound was so sudden that the three of them froze in their tracks. Then they slowly turned around and looked behind them.
Under the not-too-bright light, you can see a tall, thin figure standing not far away.
This person was none other than Li Chuang.
