Chapter 314 The Path of the Female, the Road to the Underworld (2/2)
Reading Settings
When the night monkey was called out, it looked completely bewildered.
Ye Ling said to them, "The ice here will melt in a while, and then you can go to the land further away. As for these things, they will automatically move to the edge of the land, so you don't need to worry about them."
"Yes, Miss."
"Do you have supplies and a change of clothes?"
"Yes, we all have storage bags, and we have all the basic necessities inside."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling also pointed at Ye Hou, then led Hong Yun away from there, heading to the next city.
The night monkey was terrified by what it saw.
He pointed to the long line: "Are they ghosts?"
"Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid they'll hear you?"
Night Rat whispered a reminder, his back to the black hole, "Also, you can't look into that black hole, or you'll end up like them, on the road to the underworld."
"I dare not look, I don't even dare to get close."
He was terrified the moment he arrived; fear gripped him, and he desperately wanted to leave immediately.
“Let’s go over there. I’m really afraid I’ll lose control and join the queue with them.”
Even the Night Rats couldn't withstand the oppressive atmosphere here. The two of them flew five kilometers away before the fear slowly disappeared.
The night monkey looked at the bright sun in the sky and exclaimed, "Young lady, you're amazing! Even the sun is shining here!"
He looked at the line in the distance: "It's amazing, these ghosts are unaffected in broad daylight."
Night Rat didn't reply; he was keeping an eye on his surroundings.
It's really empty here, there's nothing there.
He still hasn't determined which direction it is.
"Wait, that's not right."
Night Monkey suddenly looked at Night Rat: "Brother, look at what they're wearing, they're all summer clothes. How can there be so many ghosts in summer clothes?"
Are all these people from coastal cities? But didn't the government give advance notice? And it was mandatory, requiring residents of coastal cities to leave.
He pointed at the ghosts: "Then what about these? Look at those dozen or so, wearing down jackets and covered in wounds. They must have died after the apocalypse. But how do you explain the others?"
Night Rat took out two folding chairs from his storage bag, sat down, and said, "Is this hard to understand? It says that the city has been emptied out and the residents have all left. You actually believe that?"
Look closely at those ghosts; quite a few are elderly, and there are also many children. They're clearly locals. If you suddenly asked them to move their entire families, how many do you think would obey? How many would be willing to leave their hometowns?
Night Monkey sat down to the side, looking at the line of ghosts. "Indeed. Some are wearing aprons, some are wearing slippers, and some are wearing shorts. They were clearly swallowed up by the earthquake while they were at home."
But there are too many of them; it's impossible that they didn't all leave. There must be residents from nearby counties and towns as well. It's a pity; if they had listened and left with us, they might still be alive.
Night Rat shook his head slightly: "There aren't many young and strong people. Most of them are elderly people and children. Even if such a group goes to the mainland, it will be difficult for them to survive."
Leaving aside the bizarre creatures, extreme cold, hunger, and disease alone could take their lives.
It's better to be swallowed up in your hometown than to suffer so much hardship later. Death is only a moment, and dying in your own home is far better than dying in a foreign land.
The night monkey was speechless after hearing what he said, but upon reflection, it made a lot of sense.
Night Monkey stared ahead for a while, then felt a chill behind his ear. He turned around, suddenly jumped up, and screamed, "Holy crap!"
Night Rat didn't dare to turn around. He jumped ten meters away in an instant before turning around and seeing more than a dozen ghosts standing behind their seats!
They were all pale-faced, staring blankly ahead.
The reason I was standing behind them was because they were blocking the ghost's path.
Then the two of them left, and the ghost passed through the folding chair and walked towards the line in front.
