Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran searched the ground, but Gong Lixin and his party had already been led away by the beggar and had gone into the underground pipelines, heading towards the military compound.
July was the start of the summer season, but the underground pipes were cool and comfortable, except for the humidity, the smell of feces, and the decayed zombies.
"Ugh..." He had just climbed down the black lacquered manhole, but Lu Yun immediately covered his mouth and nose before vomiting in a corner. The rest of the crowd, including He Jin, Gong Lixin, and the beggar, frowned and had disgusted expressions.
"Hold this up to your nose. You'll get used to it after a while." He Jin said with a cold tone, brows deeply furrowed as he took out a roll of gauze from the simple medical kit and poured half a bottle of alcohol on it before handing it to Lu Yun. "It's not the world it once was, Young Master Lu. It's best if you get rid of this problem quickly!" [1]

After his words fell, he looked at the face of the usually calm Gong Lixin but there was no trace of uneasiness in his eyes. Lixin was also a young master, but he was not even the littlest bit squeamish, making him the perfect existence in He Jin's eyes. Even Lixin's small problem, in his view, was like icing on a cake, it only highlighted the other's simple and lovely self.
Wu Ming echoed He Jin's words before taking out a bottle from the backpack and handing it over to Lu Yun. Wang Tao, Gu Nan, and Ma Jun quickly lit up their flashlights and illuminated the area around them.
Lu Yun rushed up to take the bottled water to wash his hand, the alcohol-stained gauze to cover his nose, and finally, took a few deep breaths. The rich smell of ethanol instantly saved him from suffocation.
"Brother He, you've got it all wrong. You know you should have taken a few face masks seeing how we were considering about entering the underground pipelines in the first place, so there's no need for me to be embarrassed!" With his spirit returned, Lu Yun immediately complained now that his nature of being a clean-freak was exposed.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" He Jin snorted and impatiently glanced at him. He held Gong Lixin's little hand and followed the beggar. Everyone immediately started walking. Gu Nan and Ma Jun took the initiative to ask about their past in order to reverse their image in Young Master's eyes.
After nearly seven hours in the underground pipeline, they were getting closer and closer to the military compound, their journey was much easier than walking on the roads above.
"Brother He, Young Master Gong, at the end of the path behind this door is the military compound." The beggar pointed at the path blocked by an iron door with a thick iron chain and a large lock.

The military compound was controlled by the military forces, whether it was above or underground. The following waterways were also especially equipped with iron gates to prevent petty people from taking the opportunity to sneak into the compound. This door would never be opened except for when the pipes needed repairs.
"The f*ck! It was already this hard to get here and worse, it's even locked up! Since when did sewers also need gates?! It's shit!" Lu Yun pulled at the iron door and smashed at it with his steel pipe.
