Hey streamer, I want to come to the apocalypse and survive with you!

Chapter 17: Extraordinary Beings in a Post-Apocalyptic World!

[OHYYHO: Wow, this streamer is so lucky! They ran into a kind person.]

[One Radish: I thought he was going to get sold out again. Looks like the streamer is safe now. These people are definitely not simple. The streamer needs to stick close to them!]

[Patrick Star's friend: Turn on the mode! Let's all come and play! I can't wait!]

[Brother Wuji: I have to mention a friend named Hanfeng here!]

[Turtle Honey's Midnight Dream: Han Feng Deserves to Die!]

【…】

Those watching the live stream also understood the current situation through subtitles.

These people were all hostages before, and the reason they took action was to save Lu Yao, since they had seen through Lu Yao's identity as a hostage.

Since we're all hostages, we should naturally help each other.

Even Lu Yao himself didn't expect that he was already prepared to be arrested and sold again.

And now you're telling me you're good people?

To be honest, Lu Yao was almost in despair, never expecting that this was the solution to his survival.

There are good people among the indigenous people too.

"Um... there are still people outside..."

Lu Yao warned, "If they find out we haven't gone out, they'll probably come in looking for us."

"Don't worry, they won't dare to come in."

Kui Shan patted Lu Yao on the shoulder, signaling the young man to relax: "Their people didn't go out, so something must have happened in the town. Facing an unfamiliar environment and potential danger, they would only come in if they wanted to die."

A man with a hooked nose also came over, grinning, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to our camp. There are too many pollutants outside; you'll get infected if you're exposed to them for too long!"

As he spoke, he took out a black cloak and draped it over Lu Yao's shoulders.

"The sun has its problems too. Prolonged exposure can weaken your constitution and make you more susceptible to pollution!"

Faced with everyone's well-intentioned reminders, Lu Yao felt the kindness of the post-apocalyptic world.

These are the real apocalyptic natives!

Since arriving in this post-apocalyptic world, he felt like he hadn't experienced a single good day.

Now I can finally feel the kindness.

"Thanks!"

Lu Yao thanked him gratefully.

If these people really harbored hostility towards me, they could have easily kidnapped me and sold me off, since being a hostage is clearly the most valuable thing.

But the other party not only did not attack him, but also chose to help him and was willing to take him in.

This can be said to have completely put Lu Yao's mind at ease.

He's already been almost sold into slavery, so what else is there to be afraid of?

Following Kui Shan and the others through many abandoned houses in the town, they soon arrived at a large, dry, and rotten tree in the very center.

The man with the hooked nose went up to the tree and rummaged around for a bit, eventually finding an iron chain about the thickness of an arm.

Then, with his strenuous pulling, the chain was violently yanked out.

The next moment, a loud crash came from the house next door, as if something had collapsed.

Let's go!

Kuishan chuckled and patted Lu Yao on the shoulder, saying, "There are only thirteen of us here, so you're the fourteenth. Don't worry, we won't do anything to you."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out, with the others following closely behind.

However, there were still people left outside to keep watch. The hook-nosed man and two other people were outside smiling and gesturing for Lu Yao to follow.

Seeing this, Lu Yao no longer hesitated and hurriedly chased after him.

After watching Kuishan and the others enter the dilapidated house, he followed them in.

Inside the house, there was a collapsed cabinet, beneath which was a passageway leading underground.

Kui Shan and the others jumped into the passage one by one. Lu Yao came to the edge of the passage, took a look, and then jumped down after them.

The passage wasn't long, only about three or four meters. It was full of smooth sand, and once you jumped in, you were slid in by the sand.

Upon landing, they found themselves in a spacious underground space, with items collected by Shan Kui and his companions displayed along the walls.

Just like the bedding and other items that Lu Yao collected on the roof.

It looks like he's surviving on the roof, while the rest of the group is surviving underground.

"Please sit wherever you like!"

Shan Kui lit something that looked like an oil lamp, making the underground space a little brighter.

But the brightness quickly dissipated.

It seems that the light source I had previously observed around me has disappeared, and now it is entirely powered by this oil lamp.

A bald man grinned, his pale face testifying to his weakness: "Sorry, my ability can only provide light and illumination, and it also consumes my life force, so it can only provide illumination for a short time."

"ability?"

Lu Yao looked at the other person in surprise.

So... do superhumans still exist in this post-apocalyptic world?

"you do not know?"

Kui Shan stared at Lu Yao in surprise, scrutinizing him carefully before frowning and saying, "The reason a hostage is called a hostage is because her value lies in her extraordinary abilities!"

"Hostages are more likely to awaken supernatural abilities than contaminated people, and all thirteen of us possess supernatural abilities."

"I guess you'll awaken your abilities later too. Everyone's abilities are different. They sell us for supplies, while we're bought by higher-ups, either for experiments or to awaken our abilities."

"Those in high positions are afraid of death and need people with extraordinary abilities to protect them."

"With your delicate skin, I think more people would like you."

Upon hearing his words, Lu Yao, who had just become interested in extraordinary abilities, immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Depend on!

This apocalypse is truly full of malice.

However, I now have a better understanding of this post-apocalyptic world.

The existence of settlements, the value and function of hostages, the emergence of supernatural abilities...

These are the key pieces of information that will allow Lu Yao to survive.

While Lu Yao and Shan Kui were chatting, Aya and the others who were guarding outside also noticed something was wrong.

Aya and the masked man waited by the truck for a long time but Ali and the others did not come out. So the two of them climbed onto the roof of the truck and looked into the town.

"They haven't come out for so long, could something have happened to Ali and the others inside?"

"We can't go in. If there's danger inside, we'll probably be left behind too!"

"What do we do then? Ali and the others are in trouble, and we've lost the hostage. Are we just going to slink back like this?"

"There's no other way. It's impossible for the two of us to go in and find Ali and the others on our own. Let's leave here first, tell the chief, and let him think of a solution."

They dare not venture inside now.

Ali and the others are missing, their fates unknown, and the hostage is also missing. Go back and tell the leader of the settlement what to do.

The appearance of a hostage would surely tempt the leader, and he wouldn't let the other party go easily...
