The vibrations in the wall hadn't completely subsided.

Small pieces of cement continued to fall from above.

Inside the dark room, everyone was stunned, afraid to make a sound.

Until Li Cheng Yi grabbed the leader and casually threw him to the ground.

The man's painful wails startled the crowd, and everyone came back to their senses.

"Don't... don't do it!!"

Chen Daqi was the first to shout. His face was pale and terrified, and he raised his hands as if giving up resistance.

"We'll talk! We'll say anything!"

"Please don't hurt us, we are just a group of ordinary people hiding here, struggling to survive." In the corner, an old man with a wrinkled face slowly walked out.

He was wearing a thick robe, like a bed sheet draped directly over him. The colorful fruit patterns were clearly visible.

The hen flapped its wings and crowed.

I could tell that what the woman was knitting seemed to be an... animal?

Huang Wei Yi looked at the others. White floor tiles, white walls.

Under the white walls, upon closer inspection, a lot of messy advertisements and numbers were written.

I handed over the map.

"His name is He Fu. He was a Sijiao person (Dead End person) who came into Yunshan a long time ago." The old man sighed. "Although he often does bad things and exploits everyone who comes in, he was indeed the first to figure out how to live here. The danger map was also the basic route he explored first."

"Is... that so..." Pu An's shoulders visibly relaxed, and it was clear that the words had eased her tense nerves.

"Children? We've never seen children here." Yunshan shook his head.

"Yes. We are just a group of pitiful people, hiding and living here, knowing nothing..." the old man replied.

Cluck cluck cluck ~~~

Some of the advertisements were layered on top of each other, making them illegible.

"Far from here, there is a supply point. Every weekend, we go there to wait for the supplies to appear," Yunshan replied.

"Also, there are a few books here, you can go and see them later yourself, see if they are what you need," she reminded.

The few people who were originally preparing to take out their guns also suppressed their movements and stopped moving.

Outside was still shrouded in white mist.

After confirming that they were not lying and that they didn't harbor any evil intentions towards her, Huang Wei Yi turned around and signaled Pu An to lead the way.

But unexpectedly, that guy was just a silver spearhead with a wax shaft. He shattered at the first touch.

That guy is almost done for now.

He must have obtained something from Li Cheng Yi's Sijiao (Dead End) in order to live so long.

They also shook their heads in fear, indicating that they had never seen him.

"It's just that, without him, we don't know what to do in the future... There is a supply point here, and only he can rely on that kind of ability to obtain it," Pu An replied.

There was also a gray ceiling fan hanging overhead, slowly turning.

Her eyes smiled like two lines, so narrow that she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Why do you have to come back? Can't you find another place to hide?" Huang Wei Yi asked.

"What do you rely on to survive? Where do you get food and drink?" Huang Wei Yi asked.

Because anyone with developing intelligence could see that this group of people was not surviving on the newcomers' supplies. "What's your name?"

Pu.

The old man Yunshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he waved his hand behind his back towards the others.

The map was drawn with red lines on paper.

The woman had fair skin, a kind smile on her face, and a pair of chubby hands that were skillfully knitting wool.

"Earlier, Pu An mentioned a developing map; show me your danger map," Huang Wei Yi said.

"We're here," Bai Yi suddenly said.

"What's wrong with him? Why exploit the newcomers who come into the Sijiao (Dead End)?" Li Cheng Yi kicked the leader on the ground.

"Why kill you?" Bai Yi Yi asked back, "What good would killing you do for me?"

"Okay." The old man Yunshan turned around and fumbled in the corner, quickly taking out a wrinkled piece of white paper.

Reaching out, Pu An grasped the doorknob and gently pulled it outward.

The cement stairs had a strange sense of skew when stepped on.

To Huang Wei Yi's surprise, there were actually people here!

Suddenly, the hen laid an egg.

This street was lined with sparse electric bikes and motorcycles.

The map showed a cluster of houses, with a cross-shaped street in the middle.

Revealing the scene of the living room inside.

"Strong one, whatever you want to ask, we know, we can tell you, but please don't hurt us," the old man said sincerely.

"Let's go see your nearest supply point first." Bai Yi Yi was very interested in how they survived here.

"By the way, have you seen any newly arrived children?" Huang Wei Yi was about to leave, but suddenly remembered the missing children cases in Li Cheng County, so he asked casually.

This survivor settlement was located at the corner of an intersection, with each side leading to two streets.

A chubby, middle-aged woman wearing a white apron was sitting on a brown sofa placed with its back to them in the living room.

"Books... some families have them; I've seen them in some houses. There's also a developing library. That's a very remote area. I've been there once, saw it from afar; there are many books inside," Pu An replied.

He mistakenly thought that the other party would shadowize, so his physical fitness must not be bad. He had used a little less force just now.

An old-fashioned telephone pole passed by on the right side of the two, and several unknown pieces of white cloth were hanging from the telephone wires above, moving slightly in the wind.

She stopped in front of the stairwell of a residential building.

Pu An patted Bai Yi Yi and pointed to the woolen item the woman was knitting.

"Library..." Bai Yi Yi wanted to ask again.

"..." Although Huang Wei Yi had seen many strange things in the Sijiao (Dead End), the scene before him still left him speechless.

But now that Yunshan had pointed her out, she couldn't continue to hide and had to come out.

"Will... you kill us?" Pu An suddenly asked inexplicably as they walked.

The two, one in front and one behind, exited through the doorway.

On the left wall was a wall cabinet with various small parts and decorations.

"This place is so big; there's definitely more than just one place to hide, right?"

The stairwell was spacious and old, with a faint white mist drifting. kanShuLa

In the middle was an old-fashioned square dining table covered with a white cloth.

Hiss...

"The size of the red dots indicates the degree of danger. There are also very few white dots, representing danger and supplies. But supplies are not always available; you have to calculate the cycle," Yunshan introduced.

"From here on, we have to try not to talk; the sound will interrupt the supply process. So be careful and quiet," Pu An whispered.

Huang Wei Yi looked up at his surroundings. The fog seemed to have thinned a little, and he could roughly see the scenery a little further away. He quickened his pace to catch up with Pu An.

"Listen to the strong one; show them whatever they want to see, and don't be stubborn!" Bai Yi cautioned.

"You're right, but we can't do anything; only I can use this ability to turn into shadows. We can't escape his tracking..." the old man sighed.

After she finished speaking, she started climbing the stairs with extreme unfamiliarity.

Her attitude was completely different from before, a little timid, lowering her head and not daring to look at Huang Wei Yi.

"Of course not." The old man shook his head. "Seven years, what I should have repaid has been repaid. Most of the time, you all go out to search for food, drink, and clothes. He hasn't gone out for a long time; he's been waiting here for you to come back."

The styles were all very retro, and the car seats were covered with a layer of light white dust.

"Let's go see the supply point first. Please go this way."

Pu An walked timidly in front, leading the way. She walked towards the street on the right.

"In other words, you are willing to be exploited by him?" Huang Wei Yi raised an eyebrow.

The scene felt a little strange no matter what.

"Is that so?" Bai Yi Yi understood. No wonder everyone had reacted strangely after he killed the leader.

"Good dad..." she replied. Huang Wei Yi paused and looked around.

Then, she made a shushing gesture towards Huang Wei Yi, indicating that he must be quiet.

Huang Wei Yi understood and looked in that direction.

"By the way, do you know where I can find books in this place?" he asked again.

A standard-sized wool egg fell from under its butt.

Opening locks, repairing water pipes, moving houses, lending money, anything and everything.

The anti-theft door had no lock and was gently pulled open a crack.

The streets were marked with red dots of varying sizes.

Huang Wei Yi and Pu An entered the door and could see the woman's face from the side.

This was something he had to get. Very quickly, in about a few minutes.

Huang Wei Yi took it and carefully examined it, without any vigilance that there might be something wrong with it.

She let go of her hands, and a woolen hen woven from wool fluttered out of her arms and landed on the ground.

"Just what?"

Stopping in front of a red anti-theft door on the right.

The woman finished the last stitch with the thread in her hand.

"There is a little." Bai Yi answered honestly, "But not much... the leader has been oppressing you all before. Actually, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he died. It's just..."

The two walked along the center of the street, moving forward.

It was clear that she knew she had caused trouble. "Are you scared?" Huang Wei Yi asked.

"Oh..." Pu An nodded and walked to Bai Yi Yi's side. "What do you want to see? I'll take you there."

Since Bai Yi Yi had clashed with the leader, this girl had quietly retreated to the corner.

"Okay." Bai Yi Yi nodded.

His attention was focused, and he didn't seem to care about the people around him.

Now going to the right, they were going deeper towards Bai Yi's side.

He remembered that he had come from the left side of here before.

Seeing them enter the door, she didn't react at all. The gap slowly widened.

"Here is the closest and most dangerous supply point recently. I'll take you to see it." Pu An took the initiative to step forward and walked in.

"Yunshan. Pu as in simple, An as in safe," the old man replied.

A woolen hen woven from colorful wool, about the size of a watermelon, was flapping its wings and crowing on the ground.

"Waiting for it to appear? What do you mean?" Huang Wei Yi asked, puzzled.

Huang Wei Yi looked around and, after confirming that there were no problems, followed her into the stairwell.

The danger map could be said to be a sign of the safe range of activity here.

"In other words, you don't know where his ability comes from?" Huang Wei Yi frowned.

"It's complicated to explain clearly. Pu An, it's also about time for the supply, so take this strong one to take a look and you'll know." Yunshan looked at Pu An, who had been hiding and not daring to speak.

Even though the light was dim, he could see that it seemed to be a children's bed sheet.

Climbing all the way to the eighth floor.
