  Chapter 536 The people in the underground lair

  The temperature in the city is lower than that, but it is not a normal climate suitable for people's life. Soon after Chaoyang, the temperature began to rise sharply.

  Xu Huo chose a shady place to walk. Before he got close to the crack in the city center, he felt someone following him. When he walked to the corner of the street, he turned his head, but saw two young split-headed aliens throwing stones at him.

  Raising his hand to catch it and throwing it back, the two alien species were frightened by the stones that hit them and turned around to run away. The running posture was very human, at least on the surface, they were not aliens who had lost their minds.

  Keeping a certain distance, he followed the two of them, and found that they got into a sewer in an alley and quickly disappeared.

  Even if it is an underground space, as long as it is not too deep, Xu Huo can sense it, and the two children will not move when they go down, which is not normal.

   After waiting outside the alley for a minute, he went in, removed the manhole cover and jumped down.

  The passage below is not very spacious, it may be convenient for children, but it is a bit reluctant for an adult man like him. He barely walks to the end of this passage, but after going out, the outside is divided into five and there are several more passages.

  These passages are new and old, and two of them were dug very rough, unlike the other several metal pipes laid, and the soil was only smoothed with paint.

   But these channels transmit sound, and Xu Huo can judge the source of footsteps even standing outside.

  Choose the passage on the left to drill in, turned two more turns, and went down twice, only then did some changes appear around.

   It is no longer a simple pipe, he should have penetrated deep into the cracks in the city center, and occasionally through the exit, he can see the sunlight in the narrow gap outside and the clothes hanging there.

  That's right, it's clothes. Looking out from the two gaps he found, he saw at least three or four places where clothes were hung.

  Someone lives underground.

   Or there are alien species living underground like humans.

  A skinny child passed by in front of him and bumped into Xu Huo. A few meters away, the child with the white top of his head and forehead opened his mouth and made a "ha, ha" sound.

  The sound aroused the idea of ​​the alien species nearby, and the first to run over were the two children who had just thrown stones at Xu Huo. They protected the thin one, and threatened Xu Huo with grinning teeth while backing away.

   Within a few seconds, a few more aliens ran out, probably the parents of these children, and they hugged the little one tightly when they came up, and looked at Xu Huo with horrified eyes. Xu Huo walked forward, and they backed away.

Going out of the narrow passage that can only allow people to walk upright, Xu Huo saw that many stone and earth caves were dug out on both sides of the gap outside. At first glance, it looks like the dwellings of humans in ancient times when they just sprouted wisdom. There is a picture inside. There were gray faces looking around, some were afraid, some were angry, but most of them stayed in the cave and did not come out.

   Noticed that they are all pitifully thin, and because the underground space is not large, and their bodies are stooped, even if they are large in number, they still appear weak in front of a normal person.

  Looking around at the "alien species" who showed vigilance but did not attack him, Xu Huo looked at the few in front, "Can you understand me?"

   Several adults just stared at him, but the two children were more courageous. One of them grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at him, mouthing "Get out!"

  Xu Huo smiled, raised his hand and threw something over.

  Several adults let out a strange exclamation and then hugged the child. When the object fell to the ground, the thin child couldn't resist the smell of food and struggled out of the arms of his parents. He picked it up, put it under his nose and smelled it vigorously.

   "Eat." Xu Huo took one apart and took a bite.

  The emaciated child imitated him to open the bread, but just as he was about to eat it, another child slammed it down. The bread was covered with mud, and the emaciated child burst into tears.

  Xu Huo was eating bread, staring at the beating child.

  The child looked at him angrily, but it didn't take long before he compromised for the exhausted little friend.

  Being careful to remove the mud, he handed the bread to the thin child. Seeing that he ate deliciously, he couldn't help but licked his fingers.

  Some children came out of the hole, drooling and surrounded the thin child, each sharing a finger of bread.

  Xu Huo simply gave them all the clean bread in the luggage compartment, and gave them two bottles of water. Then he called the mud-throwing kid and asked him if he could write.

  The child looked at him several times before writing his name on the ground, and then wrote a sentence behind: "Do you like to eat children? Do you want to feed us before eating?"

  The smile on Xu Huo's face disappeared instantly, and then he said: "I have a lot of food, I just came from outside, and I don't eat children."

  The child reluctantly believed his words, and asked him what the outside world was like.

  Xu Huo took out the communicator and found some images to show him.

   This is obviously more attractive to them than food. Not only children, but adults also gathered together, greedily staring at the endless stream of people and various gourmet restaurants in the holographic projection.

   "Can those be eaten?" the child asked him writing on the ground, "Is there really so much food out there?"

  Xu Huo nodded, and asked them what they were eating underground.

  A group of adults got together and discussed for a while, then a woman walked out to lead him the way.

The city is located in a high-temperature zone, and there is no grass on the ground, but the seeds in the ground can germinate. Some grass grows in the cracks. Occasionally, some wild vegetables can be seen, but the number is rare. In addition, Xu Huo saw some mice and some unknown The dried meat of famous animals.

   "Have you lived here a long time?"

  The woman took out a dilapidated notebook and flipped through the pages. There was a word on it: "We came to the cleaning area more than ten years ago."

   "After being polluted, it became a different species, but it did not lose its humanity. We have lived underground for more than ten years and have not eaten anyone."

   "We are not infected with highly contagious germs, even if we touch us, we will not be infected."

   "There are many children here who have never been outside, nor have they eaten normal food. After so many years, there must be medicines outside that can treat infections."

   "You are a good person, can you take one or two children out, Clown City will definitely cure them."

"please!"

After reading the text that had been prepared in the notebook for a long time, the woman knelt in front of Xu Huo with tears in her eyes. Seeing that he was unmoved, she opened the last page and held it up, "You must not know the situation here when you come from outside. You live on the ground. The group of people who treat us like livestock, they will eat people who arrive in the city but are not infected, we bring this news to you, please take at least one child!"

  When the child asked him just now, Xu Huo probably guessed that Gao Peng and the group were not good people.

   "How many people have you read this book?" Xu Huo looked at the woman, "Since you haven't lost your mind, why don't you leave by yourself?"
