Chapter 474 Red Blood Shelter.
Chapter 474 Red Blood Shelter.
......
Five hours passed in a flash and the dawn began to break.
The Red Blood Shelter, like the Kongmeng Shelter, is an underground city that relies on technology from hundreds of years ago to maintain its operation.
Cogret was huge in size and had no ability to transform. In order to avoid disturbing the residents of the shelter, he could only float quietly in the air and wait patiently.
Sterling is different. He has the ability to transform into a human form, so he enters the underground city with Gu Yeming.
As an underground city of a shelter, the scene here is exactly the same as that of the Kongmeng Shelter. The dull and depressing atmosphere permeates every inch of the air, almost suffocating people.
Crying has become the main theme of this city, and numbness and despair are the most common expressions on people's faces.
In the office of the ruler, the ruler of the Red Blood Empire, Wang Liang, is now in a state of old age, but his condition is slightly better than that of Sandrine before. At least his life can continue for a while.
He seemed to have noticed something while processing documents. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Gu Yeming and others suddenly appearing at the office door.
His first reaction was that it was an ordinary citizen who came to ask for supplies. But when he looked closely, it turned out to be Gu Yeming!
"It's you...?" Wang Liang murmured to himself, with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.
He could never have imagined that Gu Yeming, who had become famous in the entire blue technology plane a few months ago, was standing so vividly in front of him at this moment.
"Wei Yingxi, how are Xiao Liang and the others?" Gu Yeming asked directly without any intention of greeting.
Wang Liang did not answer immediately. His gaze turned to Sterling who was beside Gu Yeming. He obviously recognized the other party's identity - the disaster-level strange monster.
Knowing the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Wang Liang did not dare to hesitate any longer.
He knew the relationship between Wei Yingxi and Gu Yeming, so in order to stabilize this difficult person in front of him, he quickly responded:
"Don't worry, Xiao Wei and Xiao Liang are still alive."
Then, he paused and added:
"However, compared to before those bugs invaded, not only their lives, but ours are much worse now."
He did not embellish anything because exaggeration would only backfire and might even cause the other party to resent him, so telling the truth was the safest approach.
Hearing the news that Wei Yingxi and Xiao Liang were still alive, Gu Yeming's expression relaxed a little, and he said calmly: "Take me to find them."
When the office guard heard Gu Yeming's disrespectful words, he was immediately furious. Just as he was about to scold him, Wang Chuang covered his mouth with his hand.
"Feel sorry...."
Wang Liang covered the guard's mouth, forced an awkward but flattering smile on his face, and said to Gu Yeming:
"Don't mind, he's not sensible. Since you want to find Xiao Wei and Xiao Liang, I'll take you there right away."
Wang Liang released his hand that was covering the guard's mouth, put on an awkward yet flattering smile, and at the same time winked at the guard, signaling him to leave.
The guard's face was full of surprise, but he also realized that the situation in front of him was subtle and unusual. He didn't dare to say much, so he could only step aside and lower his head to Gu Yeming to show his obedience.
Gu Yeming was too lazy to bother about these trivial matters. He looked indifferent and said nothing. He just turned his head slightly and signaled with his eyes that Wang Nengliang should lead the way.
Upon seeing this, Wang Liang turned around with a wry smile and walked out of the office first.
The information about Gu Yeming's rapid growth and strong strength had spread several months ago and was no longer a secret.
Now that they haven't seen each other for several months, he speculates that the other party's strength must have made a qualitative leap.
In terms of the current strength of himself and others, there is a huge difference compared to Gu Yeming. What's more, Gu Yeming is accompanied by the disaster-level strange monster that he had seen at the World Conference a long time ago.
Faced with such a huge gap, Wang Liang had better just do his job as a guide and try not to make any mistakes.
The three of them walked out of the office and slowly walked along the dim and narrow corridor.
The passage was dimly lit, with a few worn-out lighting fixtures flickering on the walls, emitting a faint and unstable light that stretched their shadows out.
Along the way, the residents in the shelter cast puzzled and curious glances at Gu Yeming and Sterling, looking them up and down.
In this shelter that had been shrouded in despair and depression for a long time, the appearance of these two outsiders was like a sudden strong light, abruptly breaking the long-standing silence.
Their clothes were neat and clean, their bodies were spotless, and their faces were full of energy, forming a sharp contrast with the haggard and tired-looking residents around them.
What shocked everyone even more was that Lord Wang Liang, who usually was high and mighty and in control of all affairs of the shelter, was now like an ordinary servant, respectfully leading the way for the two outsiders in front.
This scene instantly caused an uproar among the crowd. The residents were talking to each other in low voices.
"Who are these two people? They can even let Lord Wang lead the way in person!"
"Yes, looking at their appearance, they don't look like the people here at all. There is no sign of being tortured by these hard times on their bodies."
"I don't know what my identity is..."
Among the whispers of these ordinary people, there were some people with special abilities who knew some of the inside story and had the honor of meeting Gu Yeming. At this moment, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
They could never have imagined that Gu Yeming, who had been shining in various rumors a few months ago, would appear before them in this way without any warning.
"You must have noticed that the insects' attacks have become increasingly fierce in recent times, and our supply reserves are about to run out."
Wang Liangliang walked with a sad face, his tone full of helplessness: "If it weren't for the old technology from hundreds of years ago, the Red Blood Shelter would have fallen long ago, and we would have been..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Yeming listened quietly, his face still expressionless, his eyes as calm as a bottomless cold pond.
He naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Wang Capacity's words. He simply hoped that he would show mercy and not make things difficult for him.
Gu Yeming was surprised by this.
I feel like I am an unforgivable evil in the eyes of these people...
