Chapter 899 The Legend of the Dark River 231
However, she couldn't care less about breaking free from his hand at that moment; she sensed something was wrong in the stairwell.
Su Changhe smiled and thought to himself that one really does need to be thick-skinned.
If you don't take initiative, you don't know when you'll make progress.
Li Chu was walking along when she suddenly stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Su Changhe asked, this time he really didn't sense anything was wrong.
"Shh, listen, there seems to be a sound upstairs... Run!!!"
Li Chu glanced upstairs, then pulled the person downstairs.
Rule 5: Run if you encounter danger.
The two ran all the way to the outside of the residential area before stopping.
"What was that upstairs just now? It was eerie. That sound didn't seem to be human footsteps."
Su Changhe only heard a lot of footsteps when he was behind.
“It’s an animal.”
What she didn't say was that upstairs was a densely packed group of strange animals.
If they hadn't discovered it quickly and run away fast, they would have been overwhelmed by them.
Each of them emitted black smoke and had bloodshot eyes; apart from being animals, they were no different from the supernatural.
Moreover, their footsteps were very light.
"You discovered it early; otherwise, we might have faced it head-on. I didn't even hear it. How can I thank you enough?"
Su Changhe was jokingly suggesting that he repay the debt of gratitude by offering himself in marriage.
But Li Chu didn't give him a chance: "It's okay. If you want to thank me, just call me 'sister' so I can hear it."
"..." Su Changhe didn't expect the boomerang to come back to him so quickly.
It's funny when you're making fun of others, now it's your turn.
"Could you ask me to ask someone else?" He wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to say it, but it just felt strange.
"Just this."
"Well... alright." After only a moment's hesitation, Su Changhe smiled and conceded, "Listen carefully, sister, thank you so much just now."
Once you start talking, you realize it's not that difficult.
He deliberately emphasized the word "sister" and spoke it very slowly.
Thinking back to how she addressed him last time, he tried to call her by her surname as well.
Hearing him call him "Brother Su" made his bones melt.
"Sister, Sister Li, is this alright? If not, I can offer myself to you."
Li Chu curled the corners of her lips slightly: "No need, there's no need to offer yourself in return."
Upon hearing this, Su Changhe looked somewhat regretful.
The two went a short distance from the residential area and saw a supermarket.
Li Chu thought about how the refrigerator was empty at noon and decided to go buy some more food.
Su Changhe had never been to a supermarket before; he had only heard of it when he was in school.
"Does this place sell everything?"
Seeing the supermarket filled with goods and brightly lit, he found it interesting.
Li Chu pushed a shopping cart: "It has basically everything for food, drinks and daily necessities, and there are many other kinds, but not everything."
Aside from the rules that restrict them and some eerie elements, their lives aren't that much different from those outside.
After hearing this, Su Changhe curiously examined the shopping cart again.
Li Chu took a lot of snacks, fruits, and some ingredients.
More than an hour had passed by the time the two of them left with their bags.
On the way, we also encountered a dozen or so people who were out for a walk and were squatting idly by the roadside.
When Li Chu saw the row of people squatting there, she almost burst out laughing, but she held it in.
It seems like these people are becoming more and more down-to-earth.
Su Changhe didn't hold back at all and laughed out loud.
"What are you doing? Waiting for someone to pick you up and take you back? You need to squat down in a straight line first."
Upon hearing this, several people stood up immediately, while others remained still.
"Li Chu, Chang He, where did you go? Why are you carrying so much stuff?" Su Muyu asked.
"We went to the supermarket and bought some snacks and fruits," Su Changhe said with a hint of smugness.
Unlike others who can only squat on the street, he can go shopping at the supermarket with Li Chu.
Bai Hehuai only heard what he wanted to hear, and walked over: "Snacks!!"
"Yes, you can pick whatever you want to eat." Li Chu noticed that she and Xiao Qi looked somewhat like they were craving food.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. We can't go upstairs all at once now, so let's go back in batches."
Mu Yumo said, "I also want to buy some snacks."
"Then let's go later." Bai Hehuai nodded; she wanted to go too.
"Neither of us has been there before??"
"Li Chu, come with us. We don't feel safe without you."
"Okay."
As Su Changhe listened to the conversation, he suddenly realized that someone was missing.
He pulled Su Muyu aside and asked in a low voice, "Another one gone?"
Upon hearing this, Su Muyu's smile faded slightly: "Yes, it was the Xie family. They came down with Uncle Qidao. Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the elevator, and they fell in and disappeared."
They learned this through veiled communication.
Upon hearing this, Su Changhe didn't say anything.
Whether in the past or after arriving here, everyone's life is in danger of being lost at any time.
To reach the other side of the underground river, one must inevitably undergo a baptism of blood and turmoil.
Li Chu was pulled along by several girls and went to the supermarket again.
Because there were too many people going, it would be inconvenient to take the elevator later, so in the end only four people went.
Li Chu, Bai Hehuai, Mu Yumo, Mu Xuewei.
The things Li Chu had just bought were taken back by others first.
Before leaving, Mu Qingyang called out, "Xuewei, buy some more snacks, and share some with me later."
“I want one too, Sister Yumo, could you do me a favor?” Su Changli also asked.
Su Zhe: "Daughter, remember to bring me a pack of cigarettes and some preserved plums."
Everyone else, except for Su Changhe who had agreed to go to Li Chu's house for a free meal, were also watching with longing.
In order to spend more time with Li Chu, Su Changhe didn't mind visiting her every day.
Just now, when Li Chu was checking out at the supermarket, Hehe even insisted on paying the bill.
"Okay, I'll buy more and share them with everyone later."
Mu Yumo, Mu Xuewei, and Bai Hehuai exchanged glances and smiled somewhat helplessly.
Of the four people who went to the supermarket, only Li Chu helped carry one bag; the others all came back with large and small bags.
There was no one else on the roadside at the entrance of the residential area.
They walked to Building 19 and waited for the elevator.
Do you think we'll be able to get home safely later?
After pressing the elevator button, Bai Hehuai turned around and asked the others in a low voice.
"It's probably unlikely. They didn't have a smooth trip back just now," Li Chu said, looking at her phone.
"How did you know?"
"Several people in the group sent emojis."
"I see."
As mentioned before, if you encounter danger and really want to share it with someone, just send the emojis that everyone agreed on in the group chat.
The elevator doors opened, but no one was there yet.
The four people went inside and pressed their respective floor buttons.
Li Chu is on the 25th floor, Bai Hehuai is on the 28th floor, Mu Xuewei is on the 27th floor, and only Mu Yumo is on the 18th floor, which is below the 20th floor.
