Star of Civilization

Because Joyna saw a road leading to the dark place underground. It looked like a culvert. There were no houses around, which meant that it was uninhabited. Only some miscellaneous wastes were randomly piled on both sides of the passage.

The pavement of the road is wide and smooth, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Joyner reckons that if she drives inside, she should be able to find a place to hide the car.

Generally speaking, such tunnels will connect the underground of other buildings, most of which are complex structures with more than three floors, which were very common in the pre-civilization era. So Joyna immediately drove to the middle of the two buildings, where the passageway snaked down.

Sure enough, Joyna was right. The road here is twisty and winding. Although there are several landslides, it has not caused much impact. It is obviously the entrance to an underground building that has been abandoned for many years.

There were not many obstacles in the way of traffic, and Joyner had no trouble finding a perfect shelter and stopped the car.

To Joyna's surprise, she also discovered a secret at the bottom of the road - it used to be a huge parking lot. There are countless old vehicles in the parking lot, and it is estimated that there are thousands of vehicles, all of which have been abandoned in place.

Most of the car's outer shell retains its original shape, but the interior is rotten, and some even fall apart when touched.

This scene was so shocking that after Joyna stopped the car, she still stared straight ahead, feeling emotional for a while.

Joyna felt that the current Hidden Sand Castle was at best a settlement camp built on a deserted old city, a place for travelers and homeless people to rest. In comparison, my expectations for the hidden sand castle were so high that I now have a huge gap in my heart.

This world will not be reborn, perhaps, this is the reality she has to face from now on.

Joyner pondered that most of the vehicles modified by the thugs may have come from here. In many places, she saw traces of heavy objects being dragged. Some of the cars were destroyed beyond recognition, with apparently all body parts removed.

In addition, this space is full of standing water, but there is still a lot of dry ground to be found.

Joyna jumped out of the car, came to the back of the truck, and with a clang, pulled the wire mesh off the rear of the car and threw it aside.

"Okay, this is the place, you all get out of the car." Joyna whispered to those people.

These refugees are huddled in the corner, still in shock until now. After all, they have endured unimaginable ordeals along the way, so it is understandable that they are now as sensitive as frightened rabbits.

But at Joyna's urging, they had to go outside one by one.

The place is dark and dark, cold and damp, and there is always a cloudy wind blowing from a certain direction.

These refugees have been running for their lives on the road, and they have been beaten up in the car, and finally they can touch the ground with their feet after arriving at the hidden sand castle.

Refugees are terrified of the impending threat. Some timid guys' legs began to tremble, and they kept talking in their mouths.

"Don't be afraid, it's very safe here, and no one else's." Joyna explained calmly. "You have to learn to rule your fears, and don't let them rule you."

"Find a dry place to stay and wait for me to come back."

Everyone was still scared, looking at Joyna, but no one moved.

Joyna frowned, picked up an iron bar and banged on the truck, making a loud clanging noise. A huge voice echoed throughout the space, seeming to wake up these people, and Joyner also used this to verify her statement.

"Have you all heard, there is absolutely no one here, and there will be no chasing troops."

Everyone looked at each other and did not speak.

"Trust me, those thugs will never find this place," Joyna assured everyone, solemnly again. "You are already standing on the land of Hidden Sand Castle. When I find a safer place, you will be completely free, and you can live here forever."

For this idea, Joyner has maintained an optimistic attitude.

In the crowd, the old man suddenly stood up and asked, "So, where are you going now?"

Where am I going?

Joyna instantly understood that everyone was worried that she would leave them, or that she would never come back if she went.

She stared at the old man's eyes, looked at it for a long time before shaking her head and said, "I don't know where to go, it's almost dawn outside, I want to find a place to sell these snake meat, exchange it for money, and then buy some other things. necessities of life.”

"However, it's impossible for us to survive in the city like this. Once someone finds out, I'm afraid..." The old man shook his head.

"Stop talking, how do you know if you don't try? Anything is possible!"

The old man was interrupted by Joyna before she could finish her words. She said indifferently, "I promised you that I will do what I say. In order to find a better shelter, I must go to the city. Maybe I can help Find something to eat, or a place to live, or see where you can take refugees."

"But the risk is too great. If we encounter someone who is chasing them, where should we hide?" said a refugee next to him.

"Have you ever thought about what we should do in the future?"

"He's right, if we don't want to be seen by others, shouldn't we just hide in the ground and live like mice?"

"I know you are very good at fighting, one person can kill several people,

But what are we going to do with those people when you're not around? "

"Yeah, we are not residents of the city at all. If we steal our lives, we will be discovered sooner or later."

"And even if we can dodge for a while, we can't dodge forever."

Everyone started talking about you and I, as if as long as one person started, everyone else's chatterbox would be completely opened.

Joyna didn't expect these people to think this way, but from their point of view, these words also made sense, and she started to get into trouble.

call--

"Then what do you want? Be a slave?" Joyna asked coldly.

Joyna didn't expect these people to trust her, but she had made a promise to these people before that she must let them live freely in the hidden sand castle.

The reason why she did this ~www.readwn.com~ also seems to be to prove that she can keep her promise, even at the expense of the world.

However, Joyna's idea was just wishful thinking after all. She didn't understand that in order to survive in this era, the least necessary and unreliable thing was commitment.

"Who knows...maybe it's only by being slaves that we can really live."

A refugee whispered.

"We will starve to death sooner or later, and no one will feed us."

"If we hide in the mountains, we might be able to clear a piece of land and grow our own food. But I think once we get caught..."

"We need to survive and now we need to find another way out."

Everyone whispered and talked, but no one had a clear goal.

Joyner stood on the sidelines and watched, feeling very uncomfortable.

He had worked hard to bring them to this hidden sand castle. However, these people did not have the courage to open up a new situation and only wanted to live like a dog.
