NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 739 Survivors of Cedar Town
"I do have something I would like to ask for your help."
Jiang You, "I'm all ears."
"Some people are trapped in the fog, and I want to take them out."
Hearing this, Jiang You was a little surprised, "You mean, there are still people alive in Xuesong Town?"
She thought everyone in the town was dead, but she didn't expect there were still people alive.
"If I remember correctly, Cedar Town has been covered by thick fog for more than a month. Logically speaking, it is impossible for any survivors to survive until now."
At this point, she glanced at the monk in front of her who had no protective gear, "Or do all these people have the same adventures as you?"
Zhuxie did not explain, but simply said, "Donor, come with me and take a look and you will know."
"lead the way."
Half an hour later, several people stood outside an abandoned factory.
The four-meter-high wall blocked the sight of several people, and they couldn't see clearly what was inside.
All I could see were the big words "Xingxing Technology Company" on the door.
The door of this place is just a decoration. It is not locked at all, but just closed lightly.
Zhuxie pushed open the door and said, "There are almost no people outside the town nowadays, so this lock is unnecessary.
At first, I was just like you, thinking that there must be no one left in the thick fog, but later I accidentally discovered that there were actually quite a few people still hiding in it.
The Buddha is merciful, and all living beings can always have a glimmer of hope."
Feng Gui followed Jiang You thoughtfully, looking at everything around him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked quickly to Jiang You with his cane and whispered, "Lord City Lord, I think I know why so many people are still alive here."
"Hmm?" Jiang You looked at him in confusion, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Feng Gui said, "This factory specializes in making air purifiers, and I worked as a security guard here for nearly ten years before the end of the world.
After the apocalypse, the base was established and the air purifier factory was acquired by the base officials, but it seems that they are still continuing to produce this kind of things..."
As Feng Gui was talking, the three of them had already walked into the gate of a factory.
Monk Zhuxie pressed a red button next to him, and the small door opened, revealing a square small space.
He stepped in first, followed by Jiang You and Feng Gui.
A continuous red light flashed, followed by a strong airflow, and Jiang You smelled a smell similar to rotten eggs.
After everything calmed down, the small door on the other side opened.
As soon as he stepped out, Jiang You was faced with a group of people.
She took a quick look and saw about fifty or sixty people.
These people were wearing tattered clothes, without any protective measures on their bodies. Their clothes were torn and they were extremely thin. Their eyes looked at Zhuxie expectantly at the same time, and then looked away in disappointment.
Immediately afterwards, those pairs of fiery gazes fell on Jiang You and Feng Gui.
"Master, these two people were able to pass through the thick fog. Are they wearing the legendary protective suits that can block poisonous fog?"
"Master, are they here to take us away?!"
"Of course, of course. Are you here to save us?"
Some people looked at Jiang You eagerly, but the latter pretended not to hear them.
Zhu Xie said to Jiang You, "Donor, you don't need protective clothing when you get here. The workshop has complete air purification equipment that can produce oxygen and isolate the poisonous fog outside..."
Before Zhuxie could finish, someone beside him asked impatiently, "Master, did you bring back any food? Why did you come back empty-handed?!"
Some people are concerned about whether they can go out, but some people are more concerned about the problem of hunger right now.
The person who spoke was a man who looked to be in his early forties. While he asked the questions, his eyes kept glancing at Jiang You and Feng Gui.
“Are these two the Master’s friends?
You can actually travel freely in the thick fog, are you also immune to the thick fog like the master?"
Although the man said this, his eyes kept looking at the clothes on the two people, his eyes rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Feng Gui muttered quietly, "This kid asks even though he already knows the answer."
"Amitabha, there are fewer and fewer living creatures outside. This time I went out and met an old friend, which delayed me for some time, so I didn't gain anything." Zhuxie explained gently with an apologetic look on his face.
As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately became dissatisfied.
"How could you not bring food back?"
"Yes, yes, so many of us are eagerly waiting for you, you can't come back empty-handed no matter what!"
"I'm so hungry! I'm almost starving!"
"Master, why don't you go out and look for it again? No, don't you have two friends here? You can ask them to go out and look for it together. There is strength in numbers. Maybe you can find more food!"
"Yes, yes, don't just stand there, get out now!"
"If we don't bring back food, we'll starve to death."
"..."
A group of people were chattering and shouting.
Some people even yelled at the monk, but he didn't care at all.
He just patiently explained the situation outside.
After Cedar Town was covered by thick fog, there were fewer and fewer living things outside, and even the black beetles that could be seen everywhere in any environment became increasingly scarce.
The story begins more than a month ago.
The poisonous fog came suddenly, and those who could run fast ran away. The remaining people hid in the purifier factory by accident, and survived because of the purification equipment in the workshop.
But with so many people hiding in the factory, it might be fine for one or two days, but what will they eat and drink over a long period of time?
What's more, in the doomsday, how much supplies can the people who have hurriedly hidden here carry with them?
After they could no longer bear the hunger, they began to try to go out to find food, but everyone who went out died in the poisonous fog before they could leave the factory alive.
After a long time, no one dared to leave.
Until one day, a monk suddenly came here through the poisonous fog and found them.
The monk said that he would take them out, and if he couldn't save them, he would stay here forever...
So from that day on, there was a monk in Cedar Town who was busy looking for food everywhere.
Everyone worshipped this monk who suddenly appeared in the desperate situation as a god, and were grateful that his appearance brought everyone a glimmer of hope.
But human nature is always complicated.
At first, everyone respected the monk very much because he was the only one who could freely cross the fog and find food.
But gradually, everyone began to feel dissatisfied because the monks brought back less and less food.
Because they found that no matter how they treated the monk, he would not lose his temper. He was like the wooden Buddha statue in his arms that had become smooth and without edges due to years of friction.
