"Knight … Knight!"
After a while, Zhang Chengjie was the first to come to his senses. He blurted out subconsciously, his face filled with uncontrollable shock.
He had never thought that the person who looked like a refugee would actually be a Knight.
The bald man and the rest looked at each other in dismay, and then glanced at Fang Jin strangely. It seemed that this good-natured personality of hers was not without its benefits. She had managed to pull a Knight back with just a casual pull.
Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, everyone would have lost their lives today.
After regaining her senses, Fang Jin stared at Lin Lichuan and stammered, "You … You're a Knight?"
Lin Lichuan nodded. He was indeed a Knight, but he wasn't just a Morning Star Knight like these people thought.
Seeing Lin Lichuan admit it, Fang Jin's pretty face immediately flushed red, but then she recalled her previous actions.
To think that she had wanted to help him. She had never thought that he would not need her help at all. The dozen of them added together were not even as powerful as a Knight's finger.
However, this person was obviously a Knight, yet he did not say anything. His thoughts were really bad.
Lin Lichuan knew what Fang Jin was thinking just by looking at her expression. He smiled and said, "I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that you didn't ask me. I can't just tell everyone I meet that I'm a Knight, can I?"
Fang Jin thought about it and agreed. The embarrassment on her face eased a little. After thinking about how Lin Lichuan had saved her life, she could not be angry anymore. Instead, she said calmly, "Thank you for saving us."
Lin Lichuan waved his hand. Although he did not like Fang Jin's good-natured personality, he felt that the more people like her there were in this world, the better. That was why he had saved them.
Of course, obtaining the map was also one of the reasons.
With the mutated beasts completely wiped out, the greatest threat to the warehouse had been removed. Zhang Chengjie immediately arranged for people to break open the door and prepare to transport the food.
"Sir …"
After doing all this, he turned and walked towards Lin Lichuan. He spoke with a reserved expression, but just as he spoke, he saw Lin Lichuan shake his head.
"Captain Zhang, just call me Lichuan."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Zhang Chengjie was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He quickly nodded and said gratefully, "Lichuan, thank you for your help. This mission is very important. If we fail, I don't know how many people will starve to death. Thank you!"
Lin Lichuan shook his head and asked, "Are all the survivors in Wugang City in the shelter?"
"Most of them."
Zhang Chengjie answered, his face gloomy. "The Star Clan's search is getting more and more intense. I'm afraid those who are still outside have been killed. Only the civilians who have taken refuge in the shelter can survive."
"Can I meet your leader?" Lin Lichuan asked after some thought.
"Of course!" Zhang Chengjie nodded happily. "Mr. Zuo will definitely be happy to communicate with you!"
Fang Jin also revealed a look of joy when she heard this.
The two of them had the same thought. Under the increasing pressure from the Star Clan, if Lin Lichuan could join them, the shelter would immediately have one more knight-level combatant. It would undoubtedly be a great boost for the shelter that was struggling to maintain.
Looking at the overflowing joy on their faces, Lin Lichuan asked curiously, "You agreed so easily. Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy sent by the Star Clan?"
Zhang Chengjie and Fang Jin looked at each other. Fang Jin chuckled and said, "Now I believe that you have been closing your eyes to the outside world for the past six months. Otherwise, you would have known about this."
"What do you mean?" Lin Lichuan asked curiously.
Fang Jin explained, "The Star Clan is arrogant. They look down on the human race from the bottom of their hearts. They never accept the surrender of any human race. All the humans that were captured by them became slaves or food for the exotic beasts. Even the Enlightenment Sect that guided the Star Clan to descend was killed by the Star Clan because of the death of Sprar, their leader and member of the Star Clan. Until now, I have never heard of any human becoming a spy for the Star Clan."
"In the eyes of those ferocious long-horned monsters, we humans are even worse than the exotic beasts. We don't deserve to serve them at all." Fang Jin gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Lin Lichuan was shocked. He didn't expect the Star Clan to be so arrogant that they didn't even allow humans to surrender. Wasn't this forcing the human race to fight them to the death?
They would rather increase the difficulty and cost of conquering humans than let go of their arrogance. It seemed that these long-horned alien races really valued their so-called glory and glory.
"However, it's not that the Star Clan doesn't accept humans at all. It's just that the other party must be recognized by them."
Lin Lichuan thought to himself as he recalled how Rodriguez tried to recruit him back then.
Four to five minutes later, the bald man and the others who went into the warehouse to transport food returned empty-handed. It was obvious that they had extraordinary spatial items to store food.
The mission was completed perfectly, and no one died. This result made Zhang Chengjie and the others very happy. Their faces were brimming with excitement.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's go quickly."
Fang Jin's words attracted everyone's agreement.
Compared to when they came, the group was much more relaxed on the way back. After all, there was an additional Knight in the group.
The group arrived at a commercial plaza in the city. They passed through the first floor and came to the first underground floor. Soon, they stopped in front of a wall in the corner.
"In order to not be discovered by the Star Clan, we blew up the entrance and exit on the ground. Normally, we only go in and out through the underground passage." Fang Jin explained to Lin Lichuan in a low voice.
On the other side, the bald man was tapping the ground in the corner for a few seconds. Soon after, there was a soft sound as the floor suddenly slid open, revealing the stairs below.
Zhang Chengjie made a gesture, and the group entered in an orderly manner. After a while, the floor closed again, and the first underground floor returned to its original tranquility.
The underground passage that could only allow three to four people to walk side by side was filled with dim light. The source of the light was the shining crystals that were embedded in the ceiling every ten meters.
Lin Lichuan looked at them for a few seconds and vaguely felt that they were familiar. After a few seconds, he finally remembered that he had seen them in the underground base of Qiming Cult.
"Those are light stones. Mr. Zuo got them from a Star Clan warrior."
Fang Jin deliberately lowered her voice. "Although the Star Clan is arrogant and cruel, they have a lot of useful things. In addition to the light stones, they also have an energy converter that uses meteorite crystals and meteorite crystals as fuel. The energy needed to maintain the operation of the shelter is basically provided by this device."
While they were talking, the group had passed through the passage and arrived in front of an iron door.
