After tidying up the items, Ye Chen turned to look at Lin Nuoyi.

Lin Nuoyi whispered, “It’s right ahead. The people inside are huddled together, and the Pet Master is standing behind the door.”

Ye Chen nodded, and the group continued forward.

As they neared the end, Lin Nuoyi suddenly stopped and looked at a door nearby.

This door was different from the surrounding ones. On top of the iron door, there was an additional steel door, which seemed to be made of pure, extremely thick steel.

Ye Chen already had an initial judgment about the people inside.

Thump, thump, thump!

Ye Chen knocked on the steel door, but there was no response from inside.

“Is there no one?” Yu Nian frowned and said.

Ye Chen shook his head.

He continued to knock on the door, but still, no one responded.

Zhu Qiang grew a little impatient and stepped forward, banging on the steel door.

“Is anyone in there? If there is, say something! If not, fart! Just say something!”

Ye Chen was a bit helpless and pushed Zhu Qiang aside.

Lin Nuoyi said, “Could they think we’re bad guys, which is why they won’t open the door?”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Exactly. Fire Feather mentioned before that some people would hide in secret places to escape the chaotic world. Clearly, the people inside here are hiding.”

Zhu Qiang’s eyes widened.

“How… how did they survive? Without eating or drinking?”

Ye Chen took out the Thunderclap Blade, inserted the blade into the steel door’s crack, and forcefully pried the steel door open.

Clang!

The steel door fell heavily to the ground, emitting a loud sound.

The remaining iron door was opened effortlessly.

Suddenly.

A cold light appeared, and a dagger stabbed directly at Ye Chen’s heart. Fortunately, Ye Chen reacted quickly and gripped the assailant’s wrist.

A woman was screaming and roaring like crazy.

“Stop!”

Hearing the commanding reprimand, the woman finally stopped. She slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Chen, who was holding her wrist.

When the woman raised her head, her face became clear.

The woman had a clean appearance, fair skin, a pair of Phoenix eyes, and an oval-shaped face.

She looked about twenty-two years old.

Perhaps due to staying in this dark, sunless basement for too long, the woman’s skin was unusually pale, almost a sickly white.

The woman stared blankly at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with unconcealed terror.

Ye Chen looked into the room, finally seeing its interior.

This warehouse was quite large, about thirty square meters.

There were three beds pushed together, enough to accommodate four people.

A relatively small dining table with a few chairs around it.

On the east side of the room, there was another steel door, which had a whole row of bolt locks and chain locks.

Three people were huddled in the corner of the room:

A woman in her early forties, and two children—a girl with a ponytail and a boy only thirteen or fourteen years old.

The two clung tightly to the woman’s embrace, not daring to look at Ye Chen.

The girl in front of them was the Pet Master, but she was only Rank LV7.

The woman saw Ye Chen and his group of five, as well as the Blood Asura floating nearby, holding the Blood God Scythe, from which crimson blood was still dripping.

The woman subconsciously took a few steps back.

Yu Nian noticed the woman’s fear, stepped forward, held her hand, and gently and softly said, “Sister, don’t be afraid. The monsters outside have been killed by us. My name is Yu Nian, what’s your name?”

Yu Nian’s voice was very gentle, and the smile on her face looked very kind and approachable.

It made people easily let down their guard.

The woman whispered, “My name is Wang Xinxia.”

Yu Nian smiled and said, “Xin Xia, don’t be afraid, we are not bad people.”

“You… you aren’t from the Azure Alliance?” Wang Xinxia lowered her head, raised her eyes, and said in a faint voice.

Tie Niu and Zhu Qiang exchanged glances. Zhu Qiang boldly said, “Azure Alliance? The Azure Alliance has already been eliminated by us. We are from the Star Alliance!”

“Star Alliance!” Wang Xinxia’s face showed a hint of shock, but more so, confusion.

Ye Chen knew that Wang Xinxia must have a grievance with the Azure Alliance.

Yu Nian told the woman in front of them the news of the Azure Alliance’s destruction and the Star Alliance’s existence.

After listening, Wang Xinxia’s clear, bright eyes flickered continuously, then suddenly welled up with tears, which flowed down her face.

Wang Xinxia quickly ran to the side, approached the table, where a ceramic jar was placed.

Plop, Wang Xinxia knelt on the ground and said to the ceramic jar, “Father, the Azure Alliance has been destroyed, and those who harmed you are all dead. You can rest in peace now!”

The boy and girl huddled on the bed also came to Wang Xinxia’s side at the woman’s instruction and knelt before the ceramic jar.

From Wang Xinxia’s words, Ye Chen and the others learned that after the chaotic world began, Wang Xinxia’s father had built a basement, essentially a shelter, below.

The room was completely sealed off, and the family of six hid there.

Wang Xinxia also had an older brother, two years her senior.

Both of them had pets and were responsible for going out to hunt monsters and search for supplies.

Her brother was a very responsible person, and among the Pet Masters hiding nearby, he was one of the highest Rank.

Although it was a chaotic world, the family lived happily together, hiding there.

After all, wherever family is, that is home.

But with the arrival of the Azure Alliance, everything changed.

Her father and the people around them went out to look for gas and supplies, but they encountered people from the Azure Alliance, and her father was killed.

Later, her brother, seeking revenge, also died at the hands of the Azure Alliance.

Because of this, she and her family had been hiding there. Fortunately, her pet had flying abilities, which made searching for supplies more convenient.

After hearing about Wang Xinxia’s plight, the group felt deep sympathy.

They also lamented that this Azure Alliance truly committed many evil deeds!
