This basin was originally the location of the tribes of the Honglu people.

They actually live here and thrive.

But after Catherine and the others passed by twice, this basin has become a purgatory of the underground world, with dead bodies everywhere.

During the day, I have seen the scene here, and when I think about it now, I can't connect it with what I see in front of me.

"hiss."

I looked at the green light balls floating around in front of my eyes, and couldn't help but be speechless.

These glowing things that came from nowhere illuminated the entire basin with a layer of faint green light, against the corpses all over the ground, it looked extremely terrifying.

If I believed in God, I would definitely think that these are the souls of the dead who have nowhere to rest.

Perhaps it has been a long time, and the corpse has begun to emit a stench.

"call……"

I let out a breath, then tore off a piece of cloth from my clothes to cover my mouth and nose, and walked in slowly, trying to avoid the scattered corpses on the ground as much as possible, and to avoid touching those green light balls floating indiscriminately.

I have seen many dead people, but I am not very afraid.

However, these glowing things make me involuntarily want to avoid them. After all, I can know what they are, and it will be bad if I can't get rid of them.

Furthermore, everything in the underground world is inherently weird and cannot be explained by common sense.

I entered a low hut, which looked the best decorated among the others.

Hope to find food from it...

As soon as I entered, I took out the flashlight, because there were no green light clusters in the hut, so it was pitch black inside.

When I turned on the flashlight, I was a little disappointed.

It looked okay from the outside, but the inside was very simple, with only a bed and a mat made of unknown plants.

And a shoddy mason jar, about the size of a palm.

It just fits the body shape of the red passers-by who live here. They are all dwarfs, and this palm-sized clay pot is just right.

After rummaging around, I found that most of the mason jars were empty, only two jars contained some bean-like things, which were dark, including this layer of sticky liquid, and there was no smell .

I put it away and went into the other huts.

Ten minutes later, I put seven mason jars in my backpack. These seven jars have filled my backpack and should be enough for us to eat.

Even when I was about to leave here, I inadvertently arrived at the house where only the patriarch of the Honglu people could live.

"To go, or not to go?"

I muttered to myself.

Although I'm not afraid of the dead, this place doesn't have those weird green light balls there, and I feel awkward staying there even for a second longer.

But only the team leader can live in the house, I really want to go in and have a look.

Even though I know the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

Going around the corpse and the green light ball, I soon walked in as I wished, bent over and held a flashlight, and looked around carefully.

But nothing worth my stay.

The crude shelf in the corner seemed to be a wooden slip used to record things, but it was already decayed and would break if touched.

My curiosity was satisfied, but nothing surprised me, and I couldn't help but lack interest.

By the time I found Yucheng Yao and Fujii again, the sky was already dark.

"It's been so long since you came back? I told you not to go too far..."

There was a bit of blame in Yucheng Yao's tone.

But I knew he said that because he was worried about my accident, so I could only smile slightly and took out the jars I found from the Honglu tribe.

"There's nothing else, let's eat some of this first."

Seven jars, two for one person and one left.

I opened one of them first and tried one, which was very bland and surprisingly pliable.

It's like chewing on a piece of rubber, but it's edible and quite filling.

I only ate one can and felt like I was going to die.

After eating, Fujii's complexion improved a lot, and the sky was getting brighter, so we started our journey again.

But the speed of progress was still slow until the red sun came into view.

During this period, I got rid of a lot of weird creatures that came to trouble us, and a few of them were particularly fierce, which took me a lot of effort, but fortunately, they didn't cause too much trouble.

"Take a break."

Yucheng Yao glanced at Fujii who was out of breath, and said worriedly.

Fujii forced a smile. He knew that he had slowed down our actions, so he took two steps forward, "I can still hold on."

"listen to me."

Yu Chengyao suddenly turned serious, pressed Fujii's shoulder unquestionably, and forced him to sit down.

"It's been so many years, and you still don't change your temper. Be careful that you don't even have a boyfriend..."

Although the time I spent with Fujii was very short, after this day, he has become a lot more talkative, and he has completely lost his previous position as an island power. He really looks like an older brother in every word.

He said, suddenly paused, then looked at me with eyes the size of a baby's fist, "Forgot, my brother-in-law is here..."

Brother-in-law?

When I heard this word, I felt extremely awkward, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

But what Fujii didn't know was that just one day before, his brother-in-law had discussed with a robot to get rid of him.

Yucheng Yao didn't respond, but just snorted softly from her nostrils.

However, I keenly noticed the slight smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was this smile that made me feel more guilty.

Fujii obviously noticed this too, he nodded slightly, and then kept looking at me.

It made me sick all over.

After a long time, Fujii suddenly sighed, raised his broad right hand, reached into the gap between the joints, and pulled out a black notepad.

I probably know what he's going to do.

Fujii stared at the notepad for a long time, then slowly put the notepad in front of me, "For this thing, we spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, and even my former comrades-in-arms died in front of me."

"Even my life is almost confessed here. If it weren't for you and my sister, I might be dead now."

"So, I decided to give it to you."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a shudder in my heart, feeling unbearably guilty.

Yucheng Yao next to her opened her mouth, but she swallowed her words in the end without saying anything.

"I……"

For a moment, I wanted to tell Fujii what I had agreed with Charlie.

But he waved his hand and interrupted my words.

"It's not just because you saved me. I believe in my sister's eyes. The person she chooses must be right."
