Chapter 10: So that's why they didn't kill me?
Chapter 10: So that's why they didn't kill me?
Lu Yao was taken back to the rooftop, and even the supplies he had found over the past three days were packed up together.
Faced with these ten armed post-apocalyptic natives, Lu Yao had completely lost the will to resist and could only pretend to be mute and try to survive.
Only by staying alive can you have more opportunities.
But now he couldn't understand the other party's language at all, even though he had seen the situation in those rooms when he was searching for supplies.
Some of the calligraphy and paintings displayed in the rooms were completely different from the Chinese characters he knew.
At that moment, he guessed that this post-apocalyptic world and his own world were not interconnected.
This is also the main reason why he was wary of encountering the natives.
Now, he has no way of understanding what they are saying, so he can only pretend to be mute to deal with them for the time being.
Aya and her friends gathered on the rooftop, looking helplessly at the zombies roaming below.
If they wanted to leave, they would have to drive, but if they made too much noise, it would alert the humanoid monsters around them and cause them to attack.
So for them, they are now completely trapped here.
Ali sat opposite Lu Yao, his sharp eyes fixed on Lu Yao. He held a gun in his arms, his face stern and unsmiling. Even when Lu Yao looked away, he would still move closer.
"Don't look around, and don't even think about running away, or I'll break your legs!"
Ali pointed at Lu Yao and then began to threaten her.
Although Lu Yao couldn't understand what the other person meant, she could tell that the other person was threatening her.
Being targeted by such a big, clumsy guy, he could only sigh helplessly.
Hearing the commotion, Aya turned around, glanced at Lu Yao, and stepped forward, saying, "Ali, just keep an eye on him. Don't let him die, and don't let him find a chance to escape. It won't be easy for us to catch him."
"OK!"
Ali nodded quickly, then continued to stare intently at Lu Yao.
Aya originally planned to ask Lu Yao about the city's routes, since he was trying to survive here.
Unfortunately, Lu Yao was mute and had no way to speak.
Therefore, we have to find another way.
A masked man walked up the stairs, carrying a stack of papers and a pen. He then went to Lu Yao's side and wrote a sentence:
Do you know the safe route out of here?
After he finished writing, he picked it up and showed it to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao couldn't even communicate verbally, let alone read the words the other person had written.
do not know.
I don't recognize a single word.
He shook his head subconsciously.
The masked man assumed Lu Yao didn't know, so he put down his pen and paper, stood up, and said, "This mute doesn't know either. It looks like we're really trapped here."
"The monster downstairs seems to be very sensitive to sound; we need to find a way to make some noise from a distance."
Aya stood at the edge of the rooftop and looked down without any fear. She said in a deep voice, "The surrounding buildings are all different heights. City people build houses haphazardly. We need to find a way to get to another location first."
"Should we use a hook rope?"
The masked man walked up to Aya and frowned, saying, "You can climb out using the grappling hook, but the risk is too high. The person who attracted those monsters down there will probably have a hard time coming back alive."
Creating noise is easy, but it takes time for the monster to catch up.
The monster that heard the commotion beforehand has likely already gone over there.
So once this person's location is found, they will face being hunted by hundreds or thousands of monsters.
It can be said that this person was risking his life to buy time for others.
Aya naturally understood this as well. She glanced back at Lu Yao, frowned, and said, "This hostage is very important. We can't go find the medicine anymore, but we have to bring him back. He's everyone's hope in the settlement!"
"I'll go!"
The masked man took a deep breath, stared at Aya, and said, "Ali, you need to keep an eye on the hostage. The rest of you should drive or keep watch. You need to take charge of the overall situation. Only I can go."
"No, I should go!"
Aya looked at the masked man and said in a deep voice, "Please take good care of my parents!"
After saying that, she took off the faded and dusty clothes she was wearing, revealing large areas of skin with purple patterns and an old black vest that was tightly wrapped around her body.
She slung the gun over her shoulder and gently swung the grappling hook, as if she had made up her mind.
Lu Yao watched his movements, and then her gaze fell on the live broadcast room in front of her.
It seems that only he can see this live stream; the locals can't see it at all.
That's good news.
Inside the live stream, the fans watching were all curiously watching Aya, wondering what she was up to, while also trying to help Lu Yao get out of her current predicament.
[One Radish: This woman has a really great presence, much better than those female celebrities.]
[Patrick Star's friend: It's really cool, but it seems like she's leaving now. It's a pity she can't understand their language.]
[Filled with cream puffs: So the streamer still can't escape; this big idiot is keeping a close eye on him.]
[Brother Wuji: I noticed something strange about the way they were looking at the streamer. It was like they were saying the streamer was special, or like a group of vicious thugs seeing treasure delivered to their doorstep!]
[A Radish: You know what, that's somewhat similar, but I feel the difference between the two lies in the markings on the body.]
[Brother Wuji: Yes, yes, that's it. The streamer is fair-skinned, but these locals all have purple markings on their bodies. Big Fool's markings even go down to his neck.]
[Filled with cream puffs: Maybe that's why they look at the streamer so strangely!]
As Lu Yao watched the analysis given to him by the people in the live stream, he also had some general guesses in his mind.
That's probably the reason.
Although Han Feng was dead and his body was left aside, no purple patterns appeared on his body before he died.
But now?
Purple lines appeared on his body.
In other words, if he died, purple markings might appear, but right now he's just been captured and placed under surveillance, which is likely because he doesn't have purple markings on his body.
So what exactly are these purple patterns?
Lu Yao was also somewhat confused.
However, it is certain that he survived because he did not have purple markings!
Just as Lu Yao raised his head, the short-haired woman also threw out a specially made grappling hook, and the others pulled the end of the hook tighter from behind.
Once the grappling hook was firmly attached to the edge of the roof of a building, everyone became tense.
The masked man suddenly turned around and said to his companions, "I'll do it. You guys stop Aya. Make sure she gets a chance to escape; she has family waiting for her to go back..."
