Chapter 241: The First Bird to Stand Out Gets Shot
After scraping out some residue with his fingers, he put it into his mouth, slurping it with a sizzling sound. "Delicious, so delicious." The food here is better than they had imagined.
Although there is only one meal a day, it is much better than going out.
If this were outside, they wouldn't be able to have such a good meal for several days.
After eating, it was already completely dark, and everyone leaned on their backpacks and lay on the ground to sleep.
The elevator slowly pulled up the boxes of food. At 9:30 in the evening, after a tiring day, everyone was falling asleep.
More than a dozen figures stood up from the crowd. They gathered together, leaned against the wall and discussed in a low voice.
Being in a completely unfamiliar environment, Xiang Yu remained in a light sleep. She had already noticed when the dozen people stood up.
She was too far away from those people at this time, and couldn't hear what they were saying for a while.
Soon, the dozen people threw the backpacks aside and walked towards the unguarded iron stairs.
The iron staircase led upwards, and Xiang Yu immediately understood their intention: they wanted to escape.
They were still too naive. The guards up there would never let them leave so easily, not even for her who had so many weapons installed in the space.
She didn't dare to assert that she could escape from so many mercenaries by climbing up. From yesterday to today, she had been thinking about ways to escape.
But for now, we just need to collect some ore and put it into the space. The amount needed by Zhao Lixin alone is 50,000 pieces.
And considering that he might have to walk outside alone in the future, one combat robot might not be enough.
Take advantage of the opportunity now to get more ore and store it. Ore is a consumable resource and is non-renewable.
If you get a little more now, you may not be able to get it in the future.
Soon, more than a dozen people climbed up the unprotected iron stairs. They went up carefully step by step, unaware that their actions were being monitored by secret cameras.
An old man who was resting was also awakened by the urge to urinate. He stood up and staggered to the wall, preparing to pee.
He saw several people preparing to escape, and he immediately trotted over and shouted to them, "Come down quickly, you guys are risking your lives, come down quickly, it's not that easy to escape, don't lose your life in vain."
But no matter how the old man shouted below, the dozen people who climbed up the iron stairs didn't even look back, and the way to escape was right in front of them.
They won't stop here.
The old man patted his thigh and said anxiously, "Just listen to my advice and come down quickly."
But the figures of those people were getting farther and farther away. Seeing that he could not persuade them, the old man sat down beside his backpack with a dejected look on his face.
"What a sin, what a sin," After a while, there were dense gunshots and screams coming from above.
"Ah......" The screams woke everyone up from their sleep. Soon there were a few muffled thuds, and a dozen black shadows fell from above.
They were the dozen or so people who were about to escape just now. The people above threw the bodies down as a warning to the survivors here.
Let them not have any inappropriate thoughts.
"He..., He..., save me," a man was beaten with bloody holes all over his body and was thrown down from a high place.
His hands and feet were folded irregularly, his eyes were looking at the people around him, and he was still shouting for help.
There were still a few people who were not completely dead. They were twitching all over and coughing up blood.
His eyes were empty and desperate.
The one who died the most tragically was thrown down headfirst with his entire head sunk into his torso. Some of the elderly people seemed to have seen such a scene before.
They looked on with indifference, but fear was still visible on their faces.
The survivors who had only arrived here yesterday, some of the timid ones, were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried bitterly.
They had also thought about escaping and had originally planned to do so within these two days, but the deaths of these people dispelled all their thoughts.
Everyone began to realize that they couldn't get out, but they still hoped that someone would come to rescue them.
No one bothered to clean up the dozen or so bodies on the ground, and the next morning everyone picked up their backpacks in silence.
Head towards those tunnels.
Only during lunch in the afternoon would other expressions appear on their faces.
The weather was hot, and in just three days, the corpses began to rot and stink, so everyone discussed and decided to dig a pit.
So they put all the bodies of these people in it.
However, the soil used to bury their bodies was volcanic ash, and under the corrosion of the volcanic ash, their bodies rotted even faster.
In the following time, there was always a foul odor at the bottom of the pit. They were most familiar with this smell in the last few years of the apocalypse.
Everyone moved away from the area, and it was not until more than ten days later that the smell of rotting corpses dissipated a little.
A week later, hundreds of iron plates and steel bars were delivered from the cargo boxes above, and everyone skillfully carried these steel bars and iron plates into the tunnel.
