When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

When Li Ying woke up, he was completely confused. He couldn't see the situation above his head clearly, and his vision was completely dark.

But one thing he was sure of was that this was not the underworld and he was still alive and well.

As for what happened after he lost consciousness, his eyes were completely black and he didn't know anything.

After returning to consciousness, many of his feelings returned. As soon as he took a breath, Li Ying gasped in pain. His whole body ached, and his bones seemed to fall apart. It was difficult to move.

The key thing is that his clothes seem to be still wet, which makes it uncomfortable to stick to his body.

Is this awkward?

Isn't he in the desert? Why did he get wet?

Suddenly remembering the people he met in the desert, Li Ying realized that this should be the base they were talking about.

Thinking of this, he tried his best to get up, only to find that he was in a dark cave. The cave was long and winding, with a faint light shining in at the end, which was inexplicably weird.

This scene reminded Li Ying of some tomb-robbing movies he had watched before the end of the world. According to the plot, at the end of such a passage, there would probably be a tomb chamber with many mechanisms or guarded by monsters.

At this moment, he had the illusion that he was actually there. Thinking of a terrifying scene, Li Ying's hair stood on end and he shuddered.

It turned out that they built the base underground. As for whether it was still within the Kule Desert, he couldn't tell yet.

Just as he was deep in thought, a sudden voice almost made Li Ying cry out.

Fortunately, he regained his consciousness in time and did not continue to scare himself.

Someone was whispering, yes, it was a living person. Li Ying calmed down, quickly calmed down, and then slowly moved towards the place where the sound came from.

"Mom, that person has been thrown in for a long time and has not moved. Is he dead?" The person who spoke was a woman, her voice was timid, and there was a little concern.

"Who knows, but if you fall into Liu Changsheng's hands, you won't have a good life even if you don't die. If you ask me, it's better to die and be done with it, but..."

The person who replied must be the grandma she was talking about. She must be quite old, and her tone of voice was full of vicissitudes of life.

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by another dissatisfied voice:

"Okay, do you still remember what I told you? It's better to die than to live. Everyone has his own destiny. It doesn't matter what happens to that young man. It has nothing to do with us. If we take care of ourselves, everything will be fine!"

"I know." The older woman responded with a sigh.

But the young woman still hesitated and said, "But Dad, he looks pretty bad. Is it okay if I go over and give him some water?"

As soon as she said this, her mother was obviously surprised, and she immediately asked back: "Meisang, you haven't drank the water my mother gave you?"

Mei Sang was the girl's name. Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she had no choice but to hug her grandma's arm and explain coquettishly: "Well, I'm not that thirsty, so... I secretly kept a little bit, really just a little bit! "

Every time they were given water, she would secretly keep some and hide it for emergencies, but today was a special situation, so Mei Sang didn't hide it.

After hearing this, her mother shook her head helplessly, not agreeing with this behavior: "Oh! Silly child, the water they give out every day is getting less and less. Why don't you drink it all and keep it for that stranger?" what!"

Mei Sang is very aware of the situation their family is in. They are on the verge of life and death every day. The reason why they can still eat and drink is because they are still useful.

She deliberately lowered her voice and analyzed it carefully: "Mom, those useless people were killed by Liu Changsheng, but this person was left behind, which shows that he must be capable, and you can see Here he is, he was soaked when he was brought in, he might be a water power user, think about it, if he was here, my brother wouldn't have to work so hard!"

Her brother is a water superpower, and water superpowers are what Liu Changsheng and his gang of bandits rely on to survive in the Kule Desert. Of course, the more such people, the better.

However, there are not many people with water powers. Those who are talented should be treated with the most courtesy and preferential treatment. However, if they fall into the hands of short-sighted people who bully the weak, they will only be reduced to tools without dignity until they are exploited to the point of being exploited. Until death.

As soon as she mentioned her miserable son, her mother's eyes immediately shone, and she felt distressed and even more hopeful: "Ah? Is that so? He is also a water superpower?"

"I just said it was possible." Mei Sang wasn't sure whether it was true or not. She wanted to wait until someone woke up before confirming.

Hearing what she said, grandma's newly raised hopes were half extinguished, and she couldn't help wiping away her tears immediately: "Oh, my poor Aman, I was almost squeezed dry by that damn thing. It’s going to kill you!”

And her father, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! Aman has tried his best for us. Well... Mei Sang, there is still some water in father's jar, you can feed it to me." Give that young man a drink!"

After hearing what his daughter said, he was actually quite ashamed. He had just taught his daughter to take care of herself, but his vision was narrow.

He just wants to protect himself, but his daughter still wants to save herself. At least with more help, their family can be more relaxed.

"Okay dad, I'll..."

Seeing that her father also relented, Mei Sang felt relieved and quickly responded before getting ready to get water.

Unexpectedly, a slightly hoarse voice stopped her: "No need!"

Li Ying walked out of the shadows and came face to face with a family of three.

"I'm fine, and I'm not thirsty. No need to waste your water, thank you!" He finished weakly, showing a harmless smile.

He listened for a long time and understood that they should also be imprisoned here by the big brother, and for some reason had to endure humiliation and survive.

Although the girl's words just now contained calculations against him, he could understand it very well. The lives of his family were in the hands of others. If he didn't know how to calculate, he might have been dead long ago.

Therefore, Li Ying quite appreciates this Mei Sang.

It's just that he may still disappoint this family, because he is not a water power user at all, and he doesn't have any other great powers.

It's really hard to say whether he can help or not. He would be very merciful if he didn't hinder others.

In any case, this family still had some goodwill towards him, which deserved his courtesy.

The key is that he also wants to understand his situation through them, and also get to know the big brother's background. By the way, if he guessed correctly, the Liu Changsheng they mentioned should be the big brother who made him suffer so much.

There was a trick to lure him into the bait, and then she almost dragged him to death. The cautious Li Ying gave Liu Changsheng a hard note...
