Yu Mian's eyelids twitched: "No, Brother Mo Lin..."
Just when she was about to grab Mo Lin's sleeve and ask, Lou Zhuo jumped into the dungeon with her one step ahead of her.
The top platform closed with a bang, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
"Don't be afraid, Zaizai." Lou Zhuo's big hand fell on her back, patting her gently every now and then to show comfort.
He led Yu Mian and walked forward along the narrow passage.
It's so dark here that you can't see your fingers. There seems to be water flowing on the ground. When the building moves forward, the water will flow and make a splashing sound.
The corridor was narrow and cramped, and the air flow was extremely poor. Yu Mian could only try to slow down her breathing to avoid suffocating due to lack of oxygen.
She took out a flashlight from the space and showed Lou Zhuo the way forward. Only then did she realize that there was white, dense foam surging on the water in the ditch.
Lou Zhuo's feet were dripping in it, and the water level crossed his ankles. When he lifted his feet, the remaining dry skin and flesh on his legs that had been in contact with the ditch water were corroded and turned into white bones.
Yu Mian looked distressed, but Lou Zhuo still acted like a normal person, holding her back with one hand and paying careful attention to the movements around her.
"Lou Zhuo, please stop dripping. This water is too corrosive." Yu Mian gently tugged on the sleeves of Lou Zhuo's protective clothing and motioned for him to step on the pipes embedded in the walls on both sides of the ditch.
"Okay."
Lou Zhuo stepped on it with both feet, but he was too tall. If he stepped on it, his head would hit the top cover.
Yu Mian, who was sitting on his shoulder, was a head taller than him, so as soon as he stepped on it, Yu Mian's head hit the lower edge of the ceiling.
The sound was crisp and echoed throughout the corridor.
Yu Mian almost burst into tears from the pain, but she was still an adult at heart and would not cry because of such a bump. She just raised her hand to block Lou Zhuo's head.
"Zai Zai, I'm sorry." Lou Zhuo also realized that Yu Mian had hit his head because of his recklessness, and he apologized to her aggrievedly.
Lou Zhuofang bent over and continued walking forward, when a light spot suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.
In the darkness, Yu Mian heard his voice of self-blame again:
[I was too careless just now and actually let Zaizai knock his head. Zaizai was not angry with me and even protected me with his hands.]
[Zai Zai is so good, but those people just want to kill Zai Zai. They are the bad guys. I must protect Zai Zai.]
Hearing this, Yu Mian's heart trembled.
The Federation people still want to kill her.
She thought that the federation would at best interrupt its material supply to Guangming City because of this, and unite with other city-states to isolate Guangming City and force it to surrender.
But it doesn't matter, she is confident enough to solve it and lead Guangming City out of the isolated island.
But I didn't expect that the Federation would directly launch a war because of this.
In the last days, the sunk cost of launching a war is no lower than in any other era, let alone launching a war against a small city-state. As long as there are any other options, no one will take this method.
So Yu Mian never thought about this from the beginning.
But now it seems that she was too careless.
"Lou Zhuo, what is going on outside? Is the Federation really coming to attack the city?"
"Yes." Lou Zhuo moved quickly, but his heart was all tied to Yu Mian.
He has lived among people for a long time, and his language, thinking and emotional perception abilities have improved a lot than before. Naturally, he can clearly feel Yu Mian's slightly disappointed mood.
He comforted: "Zai Zai, it has nothing to do with you, it's them who are bad."
Yu Mian forced a smile and said nothing more.
She was actually thinking why the Federation would go to such great lengths to kill her.
Even launching a war regardless of sunk costs.
The Federation, or in other words, the superior.
What kind of feud do you have with her?
When the two passed by a certain point, Yu Mian could clearly hear the sound of gunfire coming from the top.
Rumble.
Rumble.
An idea flashed through Yu Mian's mind, and an idea flashed through her mind so fast that it was hard to catch it.
"Click."
Lou Zhuo didn't know what Yu Mian was still thinking about in a daze, but his eyes had become very wide and bright.
A huge circular platform appeared, ten centimeters higher than the edge of the corridor's ditch.
It can be seen that this should be the center of the underground city that Mo Lin mentioned.
The edge of the circular platform in the center is connected to sixteen corridors leading in different directions. One after another, people followed the city guards in and crowded into a group on the central platform.
The citizens looked sad and whispered to each other:
"What on earth is the federation planning? They are attacking the city just for the sake of a three-year-old child. Is that a big deal?"
"Didn't everyone in the Federation sign the peace agreement? Now, wouldn't it be reneging on our promise? We are bullying us."
"But the city lord is serious. Since the federation wants Yu Mian, just hand her over. Anyway, the federation only wants her, why bother everyone for her alone?"
Mo Lin's secretary squeezed through the crowd, walked over to Yu Mian, and softly comforted him: "Kid Yu Mian, don't worry, the underground city is very safe. The city lord has told us that we will follow your arrangements."
The secretary had already said this, and Yu Mian also knew that Mo Lin had given her a heavy responsibility.
She nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to protect everyone."
The secretary-general smiled slightly, turned around and stepped on the raised part on the edge of the round platform, waving his hands lightly to signal everyone to be quiet:
"Everyone, please be patient and patient. During this period of time, we will be living in the underground city. The city lord is fighting on the ground, and the underground city will be commanded by Yu Mian. I hope everyone can actively cooperate with Yu Mian's instructions..."<
/p>
"I protest!"
Before the Secretary-General finished speaking, a protest broke out from the crowd.
"Yu Mian is just a three-year-old child. What qualifications does she have to lead everyone on behalf of the city lord?"
"If it weren't for her, how could the Federation tear up the peace agreement and attack the city? What the Federation wants is her. If she is driven out, Guangming City will be safe."

The crowd was filled with indignation and curses. Some of the more extreme people picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Yu Mian, but they were thrown back by a black tentacle that suddenly struck him.
"I advise you to just shut up."
Nasir shrank into a child's trapezoid shape again, and Acheng wrapped his tentacles around his waist and lifted him up in the air.
The face as bright as the sun is smiling, even in the dimly lit underground city, it is still as beautiful as a painting.
"It's a shark!"
The person who was angrily cursing Yu Mian just now was so frightened that he screamed and kept retreating.
"Shut up, you are yelling. I will eat you now." Nasir was upset by their noise. He turned his head and exposed two rows of sharp fangs, threatening fiercely.
The crowd all fell silent.
Acheng found the opportunity and walked calmly to Yu Mian.
Nasir glanced at the tightly packed crowd: "To be honest, I advise you to obey Yu Mian's command honestly. Yu Mian is the next city lord designated by your city lord, not to mention, I am also yours
The city lord invited me here."
"No..."
Someone in the crowd was about to retort loudly, but Nasir glanced at him, and the person shrank his neck back in horror.
"If you don't obey me, I will eat you. After all, your dear city lord left you all to me."
After Nasir said these words, the crowd was completely silent.
Everyone is not a fool. Guangming City and the Shark Clan have colluded for a long time, and some people have noticed it long ago.
It's just that in the past, they were all beneficiaries, and no one would be stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot and talk about this matter.
Unexpectedly, even now, I still smashed my own foot.
"Okay, my dear sister." Nasir blushed after singing, turned around with a smile, reached out and touched Yu Mian's head, "Give everyone your instructions."
