Chapter 126 Is there any survivor in such a big Wuding?

They both shook their heads.

Li Yaoguang: "I don't think there's anything wrong, but I feel like it won't be that simple."

Shen Yue also nodded, "Yes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Let me go with Brother Lu to take a look at the specific situation first."

Gu Qing and Lu Qing nodded repeatedly. Lu Qing quickly made a gesture of invitation and was about to lead people to the direction of the observation post. Li Yaoguang thought about it, nodded to his aunt and uncle, and followed them.

There was no need to leave the secret passage to reach the lookout hole. One just had to walk through a closed corridor and climb up the ladder for a long distance. They arrived at the first floor of Linhai Pavilion. Lu Qing, who was leading the way, stopped and made way for a place beside him where the ground was obviously open and smooth. Seeing that there were often people there, he nodded at them.

Shen Yue nodded, took a step forward, followed Lu Qing's line of sight, and saw the scene outside through the narrow observation hole on the wall.

Sure enough, the situation on the street outside was the same as Lu Qing had described. Many civilians were hunched over and collecting the corpses of the civilians and soldiers who had died tragically on the street. When Shen Yue looked closely, he frowned.

Li Yaoguang, who was half a body behind, saw this and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Isn't it right?"

Shen Yue made way for him, lowered his body and took a lunge stance, patted his thigh and said to Li Yaoguang: "Come on, come up and take a look."

Li Yaoguang...

Glancing at the small lookout hole that was obviously half a body taller than him, Li Yaoguang resented his short stature. Depressed, he still stood on Shen Yue's thigh with the support of Gu Qing and looked out through the small hole.

At first, she looked for a long time, but didn't find anything wrong. She thought it was not good to step on people for too long, so she was ready to get down. Only then did she see the expressions of those busy figures on the street when they turned around. Li Yaoguang immediately frowned as well.

Gu Qing and Lu Qing's hearts skipped a beat, and Shen Yue spoke up at the right moment, "Did you see that? Aren't their expressions wrong?"

Li Yaoguang pulled at the small opening and nodded, "Yeah, that's not right. It looks... it's quite frightening."

Why should we be afraid? We are afraid only when we are uneasy and afraid.

If there was really no danger outside, these people wouldn't have such expressions; but if there was danger, why didn't they run away, but instead formed a group to go out on the streets to collect corpses in broad daylight?
Could it be that he values ​​friendship so much that he risked his life to collect the remains of his family members?
But that didn't make sense. If they were collecting family members, shouldn't they be searching among the piles of bodies scattered all over the place? Why did the people in front of them seem more like an organized corpse collection team, collecting bodies one by one, regardless of who they were, whether male or female, old or young, starting from what they could reach, and then driving away?

Li Yaoguang jumped off Shen Yue's legs and felt that what he saw didn't make sense. He even felt that the scene just now was familiar... But where had he seen it before? Just as he was about to think about it, Gu Qing's anxious voice came from the side.

"What should we do? If it's still dangerous outside, should we wait and see?"

Li Yaoguang, whose train of thought was interrupted, retracted her thoughts, but she disagreed with the suggestion of waiting and seeing.

She said, “I want to go up and take a look.”

"I'll go out and find out."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yue next to her had the same idea as her and said the same thing in unison.

Gu Qing was anxious and advised, "Don't do that. Don't you all suspect that something is wrong outside? If you realize that something is wrong, why do you still want to take the risk? Don't go!"

"That's why we have to go because it's wrong! Madam Gu, there are so many of us, and staying in the secret room all the time is not a long-term solution. If we want to get out alive, we must go outside to find out what the current situation is. Only then can we have a plan to deal with it and avoid being passive when something goes wrong again." Shen Yue agreed very much, "Yes, what Miss Li said is what I mean."

Seeing the two's resolute attitude, Gu Qing also knew that they were both capable people with their own opinions, so he did not persuade them anymore, but suggested, "Well, you two are both capable people, and I will not stop you. But it is really dangerous during the day. If you must go, why not wait until dark..."

Shen Yue shook his head and said, "No need. Since you are suspicious of the current situation, it is best to leave now. No need to trouble. Right now, Madam Gu, please open the door for me."

After Shen Yue finished speaking, he tightened the long sword that he had carried with him since he escaped from the inn, and was about to leave. Gu Qing was surprised again, "Are you leaving now? You didn't even go back to tell everyone?"

"No need, Madam Gu." Li Yaoguang stepped forward and patted Gu Qing's arm soothingly, then followed the person in front and said quickly: "Shen Yue, I'm with you."

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Yue paused, turned around, narrowed his eyes and looked disapproving. Li Yaoguang saw it clearly.

Before he could say no, Li Yaoguang said, "Everyone will be worried if you go out alone. I'll be able to take care of you. Don't rush to refuse. Have you forgotten that I have some means?"

Seeing Li Yaoguang still winking at him, Shen Yue instantly thought of the other party's strangeness, and thought that he could still protect her alone, so he nodded, and after repeatedly reminding her to be careful and not to show off, he decided to take her with him.

The two of them looked at Gu Qing again. Gu Qing was helpless. Knowing the situation, no matter how she tried to persuade them, it would be useless. She could only sigh and lead the way with Lu Qing. They led the people to another passage close to the street that could only accommodate one person, and turned the engine to open the secret door.

As he watched the two of them leave, Gu Qing couldn't help but give them some instructions.

"Take care, both of you. Be sure to pay attention to safety. If this door is blocked, you can go to the previous door we went through. Don't worry, we will be waiting behind the two doors for you to come back. If, if, you don't come back after dark, I will go out to look for you."

Li Yaoguang paused, turned around and said to Gu Qing, who had concern in her eyes, "Don't worry", and followed Shen Yue's steps and disappeared from Gu Qing and the others' sight.

Looking at the direction the two were leaving, Gu Qing kept praying for the safety of his benefactor and that there was still hope for Wuding City...

What they didn’t know was that as Li Yaoguang and Shen Yue stepped out of the secret room step by step, they walked step by step into this hell on earth.

First it was quiet, as quiet as death. Wherever it passed, there was only the smell of blood and desolation.

Then he sneaked to the place where the riot happened in the past, and heard the north wind blowing the flags on the street, and the doors and windows that the people who fled that night did not have time to close, and listened to the creaking sounds caused by the whirring sound. All he saw were corpses with horrible dead bodies on the ground. The huge Wuding City no longer had the crowds of people in the past...

The bodies on the ground included some who were trampled to death in a panic, some who were killed by others with wounds, and some who were twisted and hideous. They were all in all shapes and sizes, and this was the case almost everywhere they passed.

The two men felt heavy-hearted as they looked at the deathly silent Wuding City.

"Miss Li, don't look at me, don't be sad. We should quickly go find the person we just saw and find out the current situation."

Li Yaoguang carefully avoided the small corpse under his feet and nodded solemnly, then raised his feet to follow. However, as he walked along, how could he not help but look at it and think about it?

There are so many corpses, it is a horrific sight. Is there anyone alive in this huge city of Wuding?

As if he knew what Li Yaoguang was thinking, Shen Yue, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and whispered something comforting in a hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, there must be some survivors, just like you and me. There must be some smart people hiding in the chaos. Besides, have you forgotten the people we saw just now? Don't think too much, Miss Li. Don't worry, I, Shen Yue, will remember this grudge. One day, I will kill all these evil foreign barbarians and avenge the people of Dajing!"
