Chapter 129: A Sea of ​​Fire Rages Outside the Secret Room

With the food that Li Yaoguang and his companions brought back, the nearly fifty people in the secret room could still hold out, but those outside...

The Japanese devils were damned cunning and treacherous. From that night on, they started shouting and sent people to shout day and night. When they saw that no one came out, the bastards chose several conspicuous and open places in the city to bury pots and cook. Every day, they asked the people in the body collection team in the city to line up for food, and kept spreading the word about their good intentions.

There are good people and bad people everywhere. There are hard-core people, and naturally there are spineless people who are timid and afraid of greed for profit.

In addition, the Japanese devils promised benefits to those spineless people, so these idiots listened to the arrangements and commands of the Japanese devils and put on a big show in front of the porridge stall. As time went on, not all the people hiding in the dark could find food like Li Yaoguang and his friends, so they would fall into the trap.

With ammunition and food running out, in order to survive, they found that eating was no problem. After careful observation, they found that familiar faces appeared in the porridge shed every day and none of them were dead or injured. Seeing that the Japanese devils really did not kill people as they said, some people could not help but show up.

The Japanese devils were overjoyed to see that the plan was effective, and they started to publicize it. They also provided good food and drink to those who showed up, and paraded them around the city, and then one brought two, two brought three...

People tend to follow the crowd, and gradually, more and more people came out, so many that even the people in the secret room couldn't help but follow suit.

There was a young girl who had never experienced the Japanese invasion and said that the Japanese bandits didn’t seem that bad, so did everyone need to flee?

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Li Yaoguang rejected them outright.

"The Japanese bandits have evil intentions. The city is already short of food. General Shen and I have to go through a lot of trouble every time we go out to find food. However, these bastards are using food to bribe our people. They must be plotting something big. Our ancestors said that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The more they do this, the more likely there is something fishy going on. Just wait and see."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. The little girl who had been expressing her feelings just now couldn't help but lose her innocence. She shrank her little body and looked scared.

Sure enough, just two days after Li Yaoguang said this, something happened the next night.

That night, after they had eaten the porridge, they curled up in their assigned corners and fell asleep. They heard snores around them, and in the darkness, there was only one figure tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

For some reason, many people were coughing tonight, and frequently. At first, it was just one or two times, but gradually, it became more and more frequent. In the darkness, he found that the black whirlwind beside him was spinning in circles restlessly. Li Yaoguang could no longer sleep and got up suddenly, feeling irritated and uneasy for no reason.

Glancing around, she saw that her relatives were all fast asleep. Although the people around her were coughing, they were still sleeping soundly. She got up quietly, feeling upset, and simply went towards the lookout hole, thinking that since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well go and see what was happening outside.

Li Yaoguang left decisively, but she didn't expect that someone lying against the wall with a knife in his hand opened his eyes when she moved, saw her leave, and got up without thinking and followed her.

Li Yaoguang was still walking when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned back cautiously and found that it was Shen Yue who followed him.

"Why are you following me so late at night?"

Shen Yue held the knife and shrugged, "You don't sleep either."

"I just couldn't sleep. Forget it. I can't explain it to you clearly. I'm going to go to the observation hole to check the situation. What about you?"

Shen Yue made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go together."

The two of them came to the lookout together. Shen Yue once again took a bow step in front of the hole, patted his thigh, and smiled at Li Yaoguang, "Come up."

Li Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, thinking it was impossible to go up, so she quickly took out her aluminum alloy ladder, which had been very useful in her resume, and placed it in front of the observation hole. She climbed up two steps proudly, and reached the place very easily. Shen Yue watched Li Yaoguang's actions, touched his nose awkwardly, and was just thinking about saying that this little girl was quite arrogant, when suddenly the expression of the arrogant little girl in front of him changed.

Shen Yue asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Li Yaoguang quickly jumped down the ladder, collected everything and ran back, shouting, "Shen Yue, hurry up, tell everyone to get up, there's a fire outside!"

Shen Yue was startled and subconsciously turned around to look out through the observation hole. He was shocked at first sight. Outside the hole, he saw thick smoke and a raging sea of ​​fire.

Shen Yue was shocked, and rushed out, grabbed Li Yaoguang's hand and ran with her.

Li Yaoguang patted him anxiously, "Let go, let go, you're faster than me, go and call for help, I'll be there soon, hurry up, don't delay, if you're late everyone will die."

Shen Yue also knew that the situation was critical, so he hurriedly said "be careful" and disappeared into the corridor in the blink of an eye.

When Li Yaoguang ran back to the secret room breathlessly, everyone inside had been awakened by Shen Yue. They were all panicked and asked Li Yaoguang hurriedly when they saw him.

"Miss Li, what's going on? General Shen called us to get up as soon as he arrived, saying there was a fire. Where was the fire?"

Li Yaoguang waved his hands repeatedly, panting, and said hurriedly, "I don't know the details, but I looked through the observation hole and the situation outside is not good. There is a fire outside, and the houses across the street and nearby are all on fire."

Gu Qing was anxious when he heard this, "That's bad! Miss Li, the houses nearby are connected to our Linhai Pavilion, and most of our ventilation holes are located on the left and right. If these places are on fire, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape even if we hide underground."

The sound caused the entire secret room to explode, and the younger ones couldn't help but panic.

"What should we do? What should we do? If we go out, we will die. If we hide underground, we will die too?"

"How could this happen? How could this happen! After hiding for so long, can we still not escape death?"

“Wow, Sister Gu, I’m scared!”

"Okay, everyone calm down. I just checked and the fire hasn't reached us yet. We still have a chance. Why are you panicking?"

"But my benefactor, even if it doesn't burn down now, and it's not raining or snowing, I'm afraid no one will put out the fire in such a situation outside, and it will eventually burn down our Linhai Pavilion."

"We have hands and feet to escape."

"But, but... aren't there Japanese bandits outside?"

Li Yaoguang: "I don't see any Japanese bandits, I only see fire. I'm waiting to die. Why not give it a try? I'm leaving anyway. Do you guys want to leave?"

It can be said that Li Yaoguang is the backbone of everyone at the moment, and her status is higher than that of General Shen Yue.

The anxiously sobbing crowd felt more at ease when they heard Li Yaoguang being so calm.

Gu Qing was reluctant to see everyone who had survived until now lose their lives for no reason, so he quickly stepped out to express his stance.

"Miss, if you want to leave, we will follow you. But once we leave Linhai Pavilion, where should we go, regardless of whether the road is safe or not? Didn't you say that all four city gates are controlled by the Japanese?"
