The Female Partner of the Last Days Does Not Want To Be Popular

Chapter 236-240

Chapter 236: Underground Four

Huang Xun leaned against a mound and fell asleep. There was a damp wind blowing from the iron fence not far away, and it smelled very bad, but they had gotten used to the smell.

The ground was their sky, and the soil was their pavement.

Huang Xun felt that living underground was no different from the zombies outside.

"It would be better if we could turn into zombies like our brethren," Huang Xun laughed at himself.

"I don't want to become one of those things. I would rather die," Zhang Yuanxing replied. Like everyone else, he had developed a strong hatred for zombies. He thought that Huang Xun must have gone crazy to say such things.

"I haven't eaten anything for a while. Let's think about how to find something to eat!" Pound massaged his uncomfortable stomach. He already had stomach problems, and during this time, even if they found something to eat, it would only last for a short while. They were surviving on cold, hard food, and his waking moments were spent in torment from stomachaches.

"Five people died the last time we went out. This time, the four of us won't be enough to survive!" Lu Jincheng held a watermelon knife in his hand. Even the underground well was not completely safe. Occasionally, rotten zombie animals would attack them. Only the knife in his hand provided a sense of security.

Boom!

While they were chatting, a muffled noise suddenly came from the manhole cover in front of them on the right. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it, as zombies passing by sometimes made noise when they stepped on the manhole cover.

But soon, Huang Xun sat up straight. This sound seemed different from the sound of a zombie stepping on it. It sounded more like someone prying the manhole cover!

"It's over. Have the zombies evolved to be able to pry open lids?" Zhang Yuanxing's hair stood on end.

"Shhh, don't talk. Listen carefully," Huang Xun said, stopping the conversation. Why did he hear someone talking?

But even if there were people outside, it would be impossible for them to find them here. What was happening?

Clang!

Finally, Li Xinghai lifted the manhole cover, and the voices made the underground group more nervous.

This was bad. The zombies would also be attracted now.

"I told you, if you used Fu Ying's ability to open it, the manhole cover wouldn't be damaged. What if someone passes by and falls in the future?" Li Xinghai said triumphantly.

"Hey! Are you still alive?" Gao Yuan didn't dare to stick his head down, but he beckoned with a piece of vine.

"It's a human! There are actually people!" Zhang Xingyuan exclaimed. Had civilization returned outside?

Roar!

The sound of zombies came from the ground, but then it fell silent.

Huang Xun and the others hesitated again. What if there were other survivors? They had encountered survivors before while searching for food, but none of them turned out to be better off than they were.

"If you're alive, come up! Close the manhole cover after us!" Huang Xun shouted.

...

Gao Yuan was stunned. Could it be that he was greeting them incorrectly?

"I told you guys down there, why aren't you expressing your gratitude?!" Li Xinghai felt outraged. They came to save people, so shouldn't these people be grateful and shedding tears of gratitude?
