nThe Place of the Captive

nHearing the cheers from below the stage.

nAll the members of the Exploration Team felt their adrenaline pumping.

nBefore setting off.

nTeacher said that he would prepare a grand banquet for them.

nAt that time, they did not pay much attention to it.

nHowever, they did not expect the banquet to be so big.

nUsing so much manpower and resources.

nTheir blood was pumping fast.

nAt this time, they couldn’t help but feel touched.

nFortunately, they did not fail.

nSuccessfully bringing back what Li Yueming wanted at the cost of a few team members.

nAfter more than twenty days of exploration.

nThe members of the Exploration Team, who were stepping onto the Surface World for the first time, saw the charm of the Surface World.

nIt was simply like a dose of poison that made them unable to stop.

nThe Underground World without sunlight or breeze was nothing to be praised for except safety.

nIt was precisely because of this

nOnly then did they completely understand why Li Yueming insisted on exploring the Surface World.

n…

nThe banquet lasted the entire night.

nAfter that.

nThe injured members of the team were sent to the medic room to recuperate.

nMeanwhile, Li Yueming came to the depths of the prison set up by the Star Moon Alliance alone.

nThis place was originally used to hold felons.

nHowever, ever since the remaining sewer bosses were completely destroyed,

nIt had been a long time since a new prisoner had been locked up.

nAnd now.

nThis prison had become a special existence that imprisoned the Surface World Humans.

nLi Yueming continued forward.

nSoon, he arrived in front of a man wrapped in a thick green cloth.

nThe man was in his twenties.

nAlthough he looked haggard, he still tried his best to maintain his composure.

nHowever, the green hat on his head looked comical no matter how one looked at it.

nLi Yueming was stunned and almost laughed out loud.

nThis guy was the leader of the group of humans in strange clothes that he had deduced previously.

nAfter repeated deductions,

nLi Yueming decided to go all the way.

nHe directly sent a team of explorers to capture him from the Surface World.

nThat was the only way.

nOnly then would he truly know what had happened on the Surface World.

nThe man looked at Li Yueming and said nervously, “Where is this place? Why did you capture me?”

nHis accent was slightly different from the language of the Underground World.

nBut the overall difference was not much.

nLi Yueming said truthfully, “This is the Underground World. Have you heard of it?”

nWhen he heard the words “Underground World”,

nThe man’s pupils constricted and he revealed an extremely terrified expression.

nAfter looking around, he said in disbelief, “What did you say? This is a place of captivity?”

nAs soon as the place where they were kept in captivity appeared,

nLi Yueming immediately understood.

nApparently.

nHis guess was right.

nIt was not that the beasts had not discovered the Underground World.

nInstead, they raised the Underground World like animals.

nAfter a short and rapid breath.

nThe man finally calmed down a little.

nAfter sizing up Li Yueming a few times, he suddenly changed the topic. “What’s your purpose in capturing me? If my clansmen discover that I’m missing, they will definitely follow the traces I left behind to find me. At that time, it will definitely cause a war between the Surface World and the Underground World. Will you take responsibility for this outcome?!”

nLi Yueming rubbed his chin.

nThis guy was obviously lying.

nIn the previous deduction, Li Yueming had held this guy hostage once.

nAt that time, this fellow’s so-called clansmen were even more stable, accurate, and ruthless after discovering that he was prepared to reveal his secrets.

nHe killed this fellow with a single dagger.

nHe did not believe that they would start a war with the Underground World for him alone.

nMoreover, this guy’s change of topic was too stiff, right?

nLi Yueming was expressionless.

nHe took out an extremely sharp long saber from behind and placed it on the man’s neck.

nHe said calmly, “I’ll give you another chance, choose your words carefully!”

nHe looked at the cold blade on his neck.

nThe man’s expression changed several times.

nA moment later.

nThe man squeezed out a stiff smile and said, “Big Brother, let’s talk things out. No matter what, we were from the same race decades ago. There’s no need to fight, right?”

nLi Yueming also smiled.

nHe revealed a few white teeth.

nHowever, the shiny blade in his hand trembled unconsciously.

nThe man almost peed his pants.

nHe hurriedly said, “Big Brother, I was just joking. Feel free to ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything I know!”

nHearing him beg for mercy.

nOnly then did Li Yueming retract his saber.

nHe said with interest, “You just said that our Underground World is a place of captivity?”

nThe man swallowed his saliva and asked, “Don’t you know?”

nLi Yueming shook his head.

nThe man looked puzzled. “In that case, how did you leave the Underground World?”

nLi Yueming’s expression did not change.

nHe said coldly, “You don’t seem to understand the situation?”

nThe man immediately shrank back.

nHe looked at Li Yueming with fear in his eyes.

nOne had to know that even when facing his temperamental father, the man had never been so afraid.

nBut on Li Yueming.

nHowever, he really felt an aura that made him shudder.

nIt was as if he was facing a ferocious tiger.

nElegant and domineering.

nSo much so that he did not even dare to retort.

nHe said honestly, “That’s right. The Underground World is a breeding ground for mutated creatures!”

nBefore Li Yueming could continue asking, *

nThe man continued, “About 20 years ago, the mutated creatures on the Surface World absorbed many strange substances and developed intelligence that was not inferior to Humans. They gathered and elected eight mutated beast kings, and the mutated beast kings led the other mutated creatures to attack Human territory!”

n“After that, the Human shelters scattered around the world were destroyed by them!”

n“The same goes for Fallout Shelter 0911!”

n“After completely destroying the living power of Humans, the mutated creatures called themselves new Humans and began to learn the social order of Humans. Moreover, their appearance gradually evolved into Humans!”

n“In order to learn better from Humans, these mutated creatures will deliberately leave a group of Humans behind as the spark of civilization for them to observe and imitate!”

n“And you are the spark of civilization left behind by these mutated creatures!”

n“That’s what I said. A place to be kept in captivity!”

nHe listened to the man’s description.

nLi Yueming rubbed his chin.

nObviously.

nEven if only a few words were revealed in these exchanges.

nIt might cause a huge commotion in the entire Underground World.

nThe Underground World that the refugees treasured so much was actually just a mutated creature’s social laboratory.

nSuch an unbelievable conclusion would definitely drive many people crazy.

nBut to Li Yueming,

nThis was not too surprising.

nAfter all, he had already sensed the abnormality from the beginning.

nMoreover, he had already guessed this.

nHowever, there was no evidence to prove it.

nOf course.

nA group of mutated animals seriously studied the social order of Humans and called themselves the new Humans of the century…

nIt still sounded a little creepy.

nHe thought about it.

nLi Yueming did not continue to discuss this topic.

nInstead, he changed the topic and asked, “What’s your name and identity?”

nThe man carefully observed the expression on Li Yueming’s face.

nHe tried to find expressions like ‘shock’ and ‘disbelief’ on his face.

nBut no matter how he sized him up,

nHe didn’t see any emotion on Li Yueming’s face.

nHe could not help but say, “My name is Gu Tianye. I’m the youngest son of the leader of the Survivor Alliance of Fallout Shelter 0911!”

n…
