I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 499 People of the Third Capital
He spat at the nail on the tire and said, "What bad luck!"
"Alright, let's grab our things and walk to Yun City!" Yuan Muye seemed very calm.
Because he knew that there was no use in being anxious at this time. Anyway, it wasn't far from here to Yun City, about half an hour's walk.
Li Pangpang muttered softly, took the things from the car, and walked towards Yun City.
As they approached Yun City, Yuan Muye was surprised to find many corpses on the side of the road, which made him feel strange.
They hadn't encountered any corpses along the way, but when they got near Yun City, they saw so many. Wasn't that strange?
Yuan Muye glanced around and found that the corpses seemed to have only died recently.
Could it be a coincidence? Could something have happened in Yun City?
As he was thinking, Li Pangpang suddenly saw a corpse seem to move in the pile of dead bodies. He didn't know if he was seeing things or if the person wasn't dead.
"Muye, I just saw a corpse move." Li Pangpang pointed to the corpse that had moved and said softly.
Yuan Muye looked over in surprise and saw the corpse move as well. He was also stunned. He didn't expect there to be someone still alive.
Without thinking, he immediately walked over.
The person opened his eyes, and before he could react, he suddenly saw a face appear in front of him. He was startled, immediately sat up from the ground, and weakly said, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is why you fainted here?" Yuan Muye said, looking down at the man.
The man looked around in a daze, saw the corpses all around him, and was so frightened that he stood up.
"What the heck is this place? Why are there so many corpses?" The man was clearly unaware of what had happened.
Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel strange. If the man didn't know what this place was, how could he have ended up here?
"You came here, don't you know what this place is?" Yuan Muye asked, looking at the man in confusion.
The man's face was extremely pale. He shook his head and said very softly, "I don't even know why I'm here."
He actually didn't know why he was here. Wasn't that strange?
Could he have been brought here?
"Then do you remember what happened before you fainted?" Yuan Muye asked, staring at the man.
The man carefully recalled what had happened before he fainted. He only remembered being knocked unconscious, and then he didn't know anything. When he woke up, he was here.
"I was knocked unconscious and brought to this place. Do you know where this is?" The man was still confused.
Because he didn't know who had knocked him unconscious, nor did he know why that person had brought him to such a place.
"This is Yun City. Where did you come from?"
Yuan Muye was very curious about the man's identity. Why was he the only one who had survived among so many people? Was it a coincidence or was the person just lucky?
"Yun City? Are you kidding me? I'm from the Third Capital City. How could I have come here?"
As he spoke, the man suddenly became distraught. It must have been the person who knocked him unconscious who brought him here.
But why would that person do that?
What good would it do that person to bring him here?
Yuan Muye was also shocked. He knew that the Third Capital City was very far from here. It wouldn't be easy to bring someone here, unless that person was very powerful.
Because Yuan Muye had traveled the road to the Third Capital City before, so he knew how dangerous it was.
An ordinary person wouldn't be able to get through safely.
Although Yuan Muye felt strange, he didn't ask too much. After all, this person had nothing to do with him. Why should he bother with other people's business when he hadn't even taken care of his own?
"Alright, you were able to survive. You're really lucky. Why don't you come with us to Yun City first, and then we'll figure out what to do?"
Yuan Muye thought that since the two of them were able to meet, it was fate. Taking this man to Yun City would be like saving his life!
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to go back to the Third Capital City."
"Do you think you have any chance of returning to the Third Capital City in the current situation? I'm afraid you'll meet with misfortune as soon as you leave here!" Yuan Muye said bluntly.
He wasn't trying to scare the man, but stating the facts!
Because the daylight hours were too short, it would be dark in two hours, and the road from Yun City to the Third Capital City was so far. He was afraid that before he could find a place to rest, he would be targeted by a hungry ghost.
The main thing was that the high-level hungry ghosts might not be afraid to appear in the sun anymore.
This was still very terrifying for them.
The man looked at Yuan Muye and felt that what he said made sense. After all, he was injured now and couldn't even walk fast. It would be almost impossible to return to the Third Capital City.
"Is Yun City safe?"
In the man's opinion, except for those large capital cities, nowhere else was safe.
"It's at least safer than being outside," Yuan Muye could only say.
Because hungry ghosts could now possess people, he couldn't guarantee that there was no danger at all inside.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you two!"
On the way, Yuan Muye chatted with the man and learned about his identity.
The man's name was Xia You. He was twenty-five years old and managed a branch office in the Third Capital City!
Xia You only said this much, but Yuan Muye could roughly infer from this that Xia You was no ordinary person. Being able to open a branch office in the Third Capital City proved that he had some ability.
Soon, they arrived in Yun City.
Xia You entered Yun City and saw the bustling streets. He was a little surprised. He thought that such a lively scene could only be seen in the capital cities. He didn't expect to see it in this small place.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively here," Xia You exclaimed.
Li Pangpang glanced at him, "What did you think?"
"It's nothing. Anyway, I have to thank you two for bringing me to this place. Otherwise, I would have become a meal for hungry ghosts if I stayed outside."
In this world, it was really lucky to have someone extend a helping hand, and especially a stranger.
"We can only bring you here. As for where you want to go next, that's your own business."
