Hidden Corner

 Chapter 201 201 Encounter 1

 The vibrations on the wall have not completely dissipated.

Finely broken cement blocks continue to fall from the top.

 In the dark room, everyone was restrained and did not dare to make a sound.

Until Li Chengyi grabbed the leader man and threw him to the ground.

The man's painful wails startled everyone, and only then did everyone come back to their senses.

 “Don’t do it!”

 Chen Daqi was the first to shout. His face was pale and frightened, and he raised his hands as if he had given up resistance.

 “We say! Say anything!”

"Please don't hurt us, we are just a group of ordinary people hiding here and struggling to survive." In the corner, an old man with an old face walked out slowly.

 He was wearing a thick robe, as if he were covered with a sheet. Colorful fruit patterns are clearly visible.

Even in the dim light, you can still see what appears to be a child's sheet.

“Strong man, if you want to ask anything, we can tell you everything we know, but please don’t hurt us.” The old man said sincerely.

"What's going on with him? Why do you want to exploit the newcomers who came into the blind corner?" Li Chengyi kicked the leader man on the ground.

This guy is on his deathbed now.

 He mistakenly believed that the other party would be able to transform and his physical fitness would not be bad. The force I used just now was a little too strong.

 But I didn’t expect that this thing was a silver pewter spear head. It breaks when touched.

"His name is Vice He. He is a dead-end man who came to Yunshan a long time ago." The old man sighed. "Although he often does bad things and exploits everyone who comes in, he was the first to figure out how to live here. The security map was also the basic route he figured out first."

“In other words, you are willing to be exploited by him?” Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not." The old man shook his head, "It's been five years, and he has all been repaid. Most of the time we went out to look for food, drink and clothing. He didn't go out for a long time and has been waiting here for us to come back. "

"Why do you have to come back? Can't you hide somewhere else?" Li Chengyi asked.

“This place is so big, there’s no way there’s only one place to hide, right?”

"You are right, but we don't know anything. He is the only one here who has the ability to turn into a shadow. We can't avoid his tracking." The old man sighed.

“In other words, you don’t know where his ability comes from?” Li Chengyi frowned.

"Yes. We are just a group of poor people, living in hiding here and knowing nothing." The old man replied.

 “What’s your name?”

 “Pu An. Simple Pu, safe An.” The old man replied.

“Huang Wei mentioned the safety map before and showed me your safety map,” Li Chengyi said.

 Safety diagram can be said to be the identification of the scope of safety activities here.

 This is what he must get.

“Okay.” The old man Pu An turned around and fumbled in the corner, and quickly took out a crumpled white paper.

 A rough map is drawn with red lines on the paper.

 He handed over the map.

Li Chengyi took it and inspected it carefully without any warning that there might be something wrong with it.

 He was so focused that he seemed not to care about the people around him.

 Old man Pu An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hands behind his back towards the people on the other side.

The guns that those people were about to take out were all suppressed and stopped moving.

 There is a group of houses drawn on the map, with a cross-shaped street in the middle of the house.

 The streets are marked with red dots of different sizes.

“The size of the red dots indicates the degree of danger. There are also very few white dots, which represent safety and supplies. But supplies are not available at all times, so it has to be calculated periodically,” Pu An said.

“How do you survive? Where are you eating and drinking?” Li Chengyi asked.

“There is a supply point near here. We will go there every weekend and wait for supplies to appear.” Pu An answered.

 “Waiting to appear? What do you mean?” Li Chengyi asked confused.

"I can't explain it simply, Huang Wei. It's time to supply supplies. You can take this strongman over and have a look, and you will know." Pu An looked at Huang Wei, who had been hiding and not daring to make a sound.

This girl has been quietly hiding in the corner since Li Chengyi had a conflict with the leader.

 Obviously he knew he was in trouble.

 But now being pointed out by Pu An, she could no longer hide and had to walk out.

 “Okay daddy,” she replied.

"Listen to the strong man and show him whatever he wants to see. Don't be petty!" Pu An warned.

 “Oh” Huang Wei nodded and walked to Li Chengyi’s side. "Whatever you want to see, I'll take you there."

Her attitude at this time was completely different from before. She was a little timid, lowering her head and not daring to look at Li Chengyi.

“Let’s go check out your nearest supply point first.” Li Chengyi was very interested in how they survived here.

 Because anyone with a normal IQ can see that this group of people did not survive on the supplies of newcomers.

  Must have obtained something from the blind spot in Yunshan to be able to live for such a long time.

"By the way, have you seen some new children coming in?" Li Chengyi was about to leave, but suddenly remembered the missing children in Yunshan County before, so he asked casually.

“Children? We have never seen children here.” Pu An shook his head.

 Li Chengyi looked at the rest of the people.

 They also shook their heads in fear, indicating that they had never seen it before.

 After making sure that they were not lying and that they had no evil thoughts towards him, Li Chengyi turned around and motioned for Huang Wei to lead the way.

 The two of them went out from the small door one after the other.

 There is still white mist outside.

This survivor gathering place is located at the corner of the intersection, with two streets leading to it on both sides.

Li Chengyi raised his head and looked around. The fog seemed to have faded a little, and he could roughly see the scenery a little further away.

"Let's go to the supply point first. Please go this way." Huang Wei timidly walked in front and led the way. Head towards the block on the left.

Li Chengyi paused and looked around. He remembered that he came from the right side of here before.

Now go left, heading deeper into Yunshan Mountain.

 He followed Huang Wei in a few steps.

 The two of them walked forward along the center of the street.

There are sparse battery cars and motorcycles parked on both sides of this street.

 The styles are very retro, and the car seats are covered with layers of light white gray.

An old telephone pole passed by to the left of the two people. On the wires pulled from it, there were also a few unknown white pieces of cloth hanging, slightly moving in the wind.

"Will you kill us?" Huang Wei suddenly asked inexplicably while walking.

"Why did I kill you?" Li Chengyi asked, "What good will it do me to kill you?"

"Really?" Huang Wei's shoulders relaxed obviously, and it was obvious that these words relaxed her tense nerves.

 “Are you scared?” Li Chengyi asked.

"A bit." Huang Wei answered honestly, "But not many leaders have been persecuting us before. When he died, everyone was secretly relieved. It's just..."

 “Just what?”

"It's just that without him, we don't know what we will do in the future. There is a supply point here, and only he can obtain it with that kind of ability." Huang Wei replied.

 “Is that so?” Li Chengyi understood. No wonder all these people reacted strangely after he killed the leader.

"By the way, you know this place. Where can I find the book?" he asked again.

"Some people have books at home. I have seen them in some houses. There is also a library. It is a very inner area. I have been there once and saw it from a distance. There are many books inside." Huang Wei answered.

 “Library” Li Chengyi wanted to ask again.

 “We’re here.” Huang Wei suddenly said.

 She stopped in front of the corridor of a residential building.

 The entrance to the corridor is narrow and old, with a faint white mist floating in it.

"This is the nearest and safest supply point. I'll take you to see it." Huang Wei took the initiative and walked in.

Li Chengyi looked around and made sure there was nothing wrong, so he followed her into the stairwell.

The stairs made of cement feel strangely crooked when you step on them.

 On the white wall, when I looked closer, I realized that there were a lot of random advertising numbers written on it.

 Lock-picking, water pipe repair, moving, lending, everything is available.

 Some advertisements are stacked one on top of another, making it difficult to see them clearly.

"We have to try not to talk when we go up from here, as the sound will interrupt the supply process. So we must be careful and quiet." Huang Wei warned in a low voice.

 “Okay.” Li Chengyi nodded.

“Also, there are a few books here. You can check them out later to see if they are what you need.” She reminded.

 After she finished speaking, she continued to climb up the stairs very skillfully.

 Climb all the way to the third floor.

 Stop in front of a red security door on the left.

 Then, she made a shushing gesture towards Li Chengyi, indicating that he must be quiet.

 Stretching out her hand, Huang Wei grasped the door handle and gently pulled it out.

ˆ˜hiss.

The anti-theft door was unlocked and was gently opened through a gap.

 The gap slowly becomes larger.

 Revealing the view of the living room inside.

 White floor tiles, white walls.

 In the middle is an old-fashioned square dining table covered with a white hijab.

On the right wall is a closet with various small decorative parts.

There is also a slowly rotating gray ceiling fan hanging overhead.

 What surprised Li Chengyi was that there were actually people here!

On the brown sofa in the living room facing away from them, a fat middle-aged woman wearing a white apron was sitting.

The woman has fair skin, a kind smile on her face, and her fat hands are knitting yarn flexibly.

Li Chengyi and Huang Wei entered the door and could see the woman's face from the side.

Her eyes were like two lines when she smiled, and she couldn't see anything clearly when she squinted.

 Seeing them entering the door, there was no reaction.

  Huang Wei patted Li Chengyi and pointed to the woolen things the woman was knitting.

Li Chengyi understood and looked in that direction.

 He could see that what the woman was knitting seemed to be an animal?

 Very quickly, about a few minutes.

 The last yarn in the woman's hand is tightened.

She let go of her hands, and suddenly a hen made of wool flew out of her arms and landed on the ground.

Giggle ~~~

 The hen flapped its wings and clucked.

“.” Although Li Chengyi had seen many strange things in blind spots, the scene before him still left him speechless.

A hen made of colorful yarn, about the size of a watermelon, flapped its wings on the ground and made a cry.

This scene feels a bit strange anyway.

 Poof.

 Suddenly the hen laid eggs.

 A standard-sized woolen egg fell out from under its butt.
