When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Li Ying did not devote enough energy to pay attention to Pei Chonglin on the other side. He stumbled to the place, first knocked on a protruding stone slab with a pickaxe, and then shouted to the bottom of the stone slab: "Hey! Is there anyone down there? Yes. Just say something, and I will find a way to get you out!"

I don't know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to hear a little rustling movement, accompanied by a very small sound of discussion.

There were indeed people alive, but they didn't seem to dare to respond. Li Ying frowned, because he was scrupulous and didn't dare to act rashly.

Thinking of the abominable Liu Changsheng, Li Ying no longer wasted his words trying to force them to believe him, and only emphasized to the people below: "Stand back, I'm going to smash the slate!"

After saying that, he picked up the pickaxe and smashed it down hard. Unfortunately, this time it hit the reinforced concrete floor, only splattering some dust, and had little effect.

And his hands were numb from the shock, and he could hardly hold the pickaxe.

Gritting his teeth, he prepared to try again, but the pickaxe he had just lifted changed hands in the blink of an eye. When he looked back, he saw Zhu Daneng easily swinging the pickaxe at him twice, and then threw it aside with a clang.

"Xiao Li Ying, aren't you joking? Look at me!"

After saying that, he saw his body sinking, squatting down with his legs, clasping the corner of the floor with his two big hands, and opening a hole with a little force.

"Look!"

After saying these words, Zhu Daneng went all out and threw the lifted floor away.

Li Ying: ...it's so irritating to see people compare to each other. If I had known that Zhu Daneng was so powerful, why would he bother with that effort just now? Oops! The tiger's mouth hurts too!

It was only then that he realized what he had overlooked. Pei Shao had spiritual powers, and Brother Zhu was not a mortal. A large stone slab weighing 1,800 kilograms was as small as a small stone in his hand. A brick is so easy to throw away.

"Brother Zhu, you turn out to be a power user!"

Zhu Daneng clapped his hands and was very proud: "Yes, did you just see it?"

"No, I thought you were born with divine power, you are amazing!"

Li Ying sincerely praised him. Zhu Daneng had effortlessly lifted him out of the sacrifice pit the night before. Considering Zhu Daneng's physique, it was easy for him to lift him as a dumbbell if he was strong, so he didn't do anything at that time. Think more.

After being praised, Zhu Daneng smiled and accepted it unceremoniously, then tilted his head and told Li Ying something more that he didn't know:

"It's just a joke, I, Zhu Daneng, have always loved eating and drinking all my life, that's why I accumulated this fat body. Later, I awakened my superpower. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a power type. Do you think this superpower is a perfect match for me?"

"Well, it does match you well."

Li Ying was unconvinced about this. Power-type superpowers should look like they have power. This is also worthy of the name!

The two of them just talked about each other, completely unaware that there were several people under the entrance of the cave sticking their heads out to stare at them.

"...Um, sorry to bother you, are you here to save us?"

A middle-aged man asked timidly. After asking, he quickly retreated as if he was afraid of being beaten.

Zhu Daneng scratched his head and looked at Li Ying: "Oh, by the way, why are we still talking about saving people?"

Li Ying shook his head and quickly explained the situation to the people below: "We are here to rescue you. It is very dangerous down there. How many of you are there? Come up quickly!"

Li Ying wanted to rescue him, but the middle-aged man suddenly stopped: "Wait!"

"what happened?"

The man thought for a while, then deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "I see you guys are unfamiliar, so you must be passing by! Did you see a fierce man with spots all over his body? Is he... nearby here?"

"Liu Changsheng?" Li Ying blurted out.

Unexpectedly, the man stuttered: "Ah! You, you, you are..."

There was a look of fear on his face, and he even thought that Li Ying was coming with bad intentions.

Although he was a little speechless, his mood was easy to understand. Li Ying explained in a good voice: "Don't worry, he and I are not the same group. He has been subdued by us. He is safe up there. He can really come up."

"is it?"

Li Ying patiently explained again: "If we want to harm you, we can just collapse this place. Why do we have to bother coaxing you? Come up!"

"He has a point!"

"Then...then go up!"

Li Ying did not expect that as soon as the survivors on his side were pulled out of the cave, good news came from Mr. Pei's side that more than fifty people had successfully escaped.

In addition to the total of 132 people he rescued here, this survival rate far exceeded his expectations.

Liu Changsheng never imagined that after all his efforts to bury everyone, more than a hundred people managed to escape death and survive.

The reasons are surprisingly similar. There are people in the accommodation area who cry and howl all night long, and people die frequently. There are even news about infectious diseases. There are many people who cannot bear the torture and are afraid.

Although they could not leave the Flame Mountain, they all chose to stay away from the accommodation area.

The people Li Ying rescued chose a remote location, which happened to be the original underground warehouse of the base. It was much stronger than the underground city later dug and built, so they were lucky enough to escape the damage caused by Liu Changsheng's superpower.

How should I put it? This group of people is really lucky. The most important thing is that they met Li Ying and the others. Otherwise, they would have been afraid of Liu Changsheng's power. They don't know how long they would have been trapped.

"How's it going?" Pei Chonglin asked casually as he saw Li Ying counting heads back and forth several times.

"What?" Li Ying couldn't follow his train of thought and was confused by the question again.

"Did you find the person you were looking for?"

Pei Chonglin raised his eyebrows and reminded again: "That beautiful girl."

"It's Mei Sang."

Li Ying corrected him, then said in disappointment: "But I didn't see them, and I asked those people, and they didn't know if the Mei Sang family had escaped."

Pei Chonglin pursed his lips: "That means they are unlucky."

"Maybe they are hiding somewhere else!"

Li Ying still didn't want to think about the worst. The dungeons extend in all directions, and there might be even more hidden places.

"Really?" Pei Chonglin asked him.

"Isn't it true, don't you know better than me?"

Li Ying felt that he knew what he was asking, and that his mental power could find more than a hundred people, so he would not miss any other survivors.

After thinking about it, Pei Chonglin could only nod: "Then I can only say sorry."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at Li Ying with some sympathy, and felt a little pity for him. His heroic plan to save the beauty still came to nothing!

And Li Ying felt extremely sad that the Mei Sang family wanted to leave the desert so much, but they were buried here and could never leave. This made him really upset!
