After listening to Lao Duoji say these words, I couldn't help but frown and murmured: "What do you mean by this?"

Lao Duoji took a puff of his cigarette, and then knocked the copper pipe pot vigorously in his palm, pouring the tobacco leaves inside on the ground. After putting away the pipe pot, Lao Duoji turned to look at me, and said slowly

: "I don't know the meaning of these words... I originally thought you would know, but now it seems that you are probably the same and Monk Zhang is confused..."

I frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Lao Duoji and asked: "What happened next? What happened next?"

When Lao Duoji heard my question, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Later...haha...when I returned to the city later, the whole city was in a mess...even the city was used to guard the city.

The enemy’s twelve alarm bells have not sounded yet…”

Lao Duoji's words reminded me of the bells I heard in the city before. I didn't respond, but silently thought in my heart: "It turns out that Lao Duoji came back from outside the city at that time..."

Of course Lao Duoji didn't know what I was thinking at this time. After a pause, he sighed involuntarily and continued after a while: "After I entered the city, I found that the city was already in chaos.

There are dead people everywhere, corpses everywhere

I saw that there were dead people on the streets, in the wells, and even on the roofs... It was so easy to see these living people, but they went crazy. They all ran towards the main hall in the city with demented expressions on their faces.

It’s as if the most valuable thing in the world is somewhere…”

Everything that Lao Duoji described at this time, I had personally experienced before, so when he mentioned it, the scenes flashed back and forth in front of my eyes like a movie reel.

But what surprises me is, since he has returned to the city, why did Lao Duogui not be affected by the cry of the evil moth and escape unscathed?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you hear anything?"

"You mean that buzzing sound?" Lao Duoji said without hesitation: "Of course I heard it!"

I saw that Lao Duoji was so outspoken, and there was a slight difference, but I thought about it and asked: "Since you heard it, why are you okay?"

Lao Duoji smiled and said, "Aren't you okay too?"

When Lao Duoji suddenly asked me this question, I didn't know what to say for a moment, "Indeed! I'm damn fine, but if it weren't for the pair of earplugs from the immortal tree in Lao Yangpi's hand, I probably would have

I am just like those people."

When Lao Duoji saw that I was silent, he smiled, reached out and slowly took out a pair of small wooden stoppers from his arms, put them in front of me, and said, "I'm fine because of this!"

I took a quick look and saw that what Lao Duoji was holding in his hand was none other than the "Immortal Tree" earplugs I used before.

When I saw this thing, to be honest, I was a little surprised. I looked at the pair of wooden ear plugs, then looked up at Lao Duoji, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you have this thing?"

Lao Duoji put the earplugs back in his arms, looked at me and said, "Of course someone gave them to me!"

"Someone gave it to you?" I repeated Lao Duoji's words, but I didn't ask further, because I knew that even if I didn't tell, Lao Duoji would tell me who that person was.

Sure enough, when I had just finished saying this, Lao Duoji said: "I know you want to know who the person who gave me earplugs is. You seem to know each other... He also calculated that you will appear here, so

, that’s why I came here to find you.”

I looked at Lao Duoji and asked doubtfully: "Oh? This person has calculated everything accurately?"

Lao Duoji replied calmly: "It's 80% to 90% accurate! The only thing I don't know is that I'm still not sure whether what he said is right or not..."

I asked: "That point?"

Lao Duoji said: "He said you are the key to all this... If I want to save everyone in the city, I must find you and take you to the lowest reaches of the underground river. Only where you go can you have a chance."

Save the people in the city. I never understood what he meant, but for the sake of the people still alive in the city, I had to try."

After hearing what Lao Duoji said, I was angry and funny, and thought to myself: "You old guy, you are using me as a guinea pig! As long as you can save the people in the city, don't worry about it.

, if this doesn’t happen, you still have to kill me and bury me with those people! His grandma’s wishful thinking will be damned by you.”

But although I thought so in my heart, I didn't say it with my mouth. I frowned slightly, and then said lightly: "You have been talking for a long time, but you haven't said a serious word?"

Lao Duoji was slightly startled, "Oh?"

I smiled slightly and then said, "Who is that person? You didn't even mention him at all?"

Lao Duoji thought for a while, seemed to be troubled, and then said: "He is..."

And just as Lao Duoji was about to say that person's name, a shrill scream suddenly came from not far downstream of the underground river.

It was a woman's voice, and it sounded like she wasn't too old.

The sound came so suddenly that Lao Duoji and I couldn't help but be startled.

This sudden scream interrupted the conversation between the two of us. I frowned slightly and looked at Lao Duoji. At this time, he was also looking at me, with a look of extreme confusion in his eyes, and then

No one said anything, they turned around and ran downstream with great strides.

The underground world is very dark, and the bright headlights are like two twinkling stars flashing in the darkness.

The river is fast and washes the banks on both sides from time to time, making it extremely difficult to walk here.

Fortunately, Lao Duoji and I were both pretty good at it, so we didn't fall on the slippery rocks like ice and fall into the cold underground river.

The scream was not too far away from where the two of us were resting. After running for about five or six minutes, we saw a large blood stain on a stone on the river bank.

I leaned down, rubbed the blood on the stone with my thumb and forefinger, and then said: "This blood is fresh, which means this person was still here just now..."

Halfway through, I stood up and looked around. It was pitch black all around. Except for the surrounding rock walls and the rolling underground river, there was nothing in this place, not to mention a person, not even a mouse.

Lao Duoji frowned slightly and said, "Did you accidentally fall into the river?"

I nodded and said, "It's possible! These stones have been washed by the river for too many years and are very slippery... The girl may have accidentally clicked in!"
