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

Lin Nuoyi whispered, "Just ahead, the people inside are huddled together, the Pet Tamer is standing behind the door."

Ye Chen nodded, and the group continued to move forward.

As they were about to reach the end, Lin Nuoyi suddenly stopped, looking at a door on the side.

This door was different from the surrounding ones, with an additional steel door on top of an iron door, appearing to be made of pure steel and exceedingly thick.

Ye Chen had already made a preliminary judgment about the people inside.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

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, there was no response.

Zhu Qiang, feeling a bit anxious, stepped forward and knocked on the steel door loudly.

"Is anyone there? Say something, even if there's no one, let out a fart, just say a word!"

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

Lin Nuoyi said, "Could it be that the people inside think we're the bad guys and that's why they won't open the door?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "That's right, Huo Yu mentioned before that some people hide in secret places to escape the chaos, obviously the people inside are just hiding here."

Zhu Qiang widened his eyes.

"How, how are they surviving without eating or drinking?"

Ye Chen took out the Thunder Shocking Blade, inserting the blade into the crevice of the steel door and forced it open.

Bam!

The steel door fell heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

The remaining iron door was effortlessly opened.

Suddenly.

A cold light appeared, and a dagger thrust straight towards Ye Chen's heart. Fortunately, Ye Chen reacted quickly and grasped the attacker's wrist.

It was a woman who frantically screamed.

"Stop!"

Hearing the authoritative reprimand, the woman finally stopped, then slowly lifted her head to look at Ye Chen, who was holding her wrist.

When the woman raised her head, her face was clearly visible.

The woman looked quite clean, with fair skin, phoenix eyes, and an oval face.

Judging by her age, she seemed around twenty-two.

Perhaps due to staying too long in this sunless underground, her skin was unusually white, almost pallid.

The woman stared blankly at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with unmistakable fear.

Ye Chen looked inside the room and finally saw its appearance.

The warehouse was relatively large, about thirty square meters.

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

A small dining table surrounded by several chairs.

On the east side of the room was another steel door, featuring a whole row of latch locks and chain locks.

Three people were huddled in the corner against the wall:

A woman in her forties, a ponytailed girl, and a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The two clung tightly to the woman's arms, not daring to look towards Ye Chen.

The girl in front was the Pet Tamer, but only at Level 7.

The woman saw Ye Chen and the others, and the Blood Asura, who was floating beside them holding a Blood God Scythe, from which crimson blood still dripped.

The woman instinctively stepped back a few steps.

Seeing the woman's fear, Yu Nian stepped forward, held her hand, and gently 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 amiable.

This made it easy for people to let down their guard.

The woman whispered, "My name is Wang Xinxia."

Yu Nian smiled and said, "Xinxia, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

"You, you're not from the Cyan Alliance?" Wang Xinxia lowered her head, raised her eyes, and said in a somewhat weak voice.

Iron Bull and Zhu Qiang exchanged a look, and Zhu Qiang, chattering away, said, "Cyan Alliance? The Cyan Alliance has already been wiped out by us. We are from the Star Alliance!"

"Star Alliance!" A hint of shock appeared on Wang Xinxia's face, even more confusion.

Ye Chen understood that Wang Xinxia must have grievances with the Cyan Alliance.

Yu Nian informed the woman in front of them about the elimination of the Cyan Alliance and the Star Alliance.

After hearing it, Wang Xinxia's watery eyes sparkled continuously, and tears suddenly welled up, streaming down her face.

Wang Xinxia quickly ran to the side, reaching the table, where there was a ceramic jar.

Thud, Wang Xinxia knelt on the ground, speaking to the ceramic jar, "Dad, the Cyan Alliance has been destroyed, those who killed you are dead too, now you can rest in peace below!"

The boy and girl who had been curled up on the bed, following the woman's guidance, came to Wang Xinxia's side and knelt before the ceramic jar.

From Wang Xinxia's words, Ye Chen and the others learned that after the chaos, Wang Xinxia's father built this underground basement, equivalent to a refuge.

The room was completely sealed, with six family members hiding here.

Above Wang Xinxia, she 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, one of the highest-leveled Pet Tamers hiding nearby.

Though it was a chaotic world, the family lived harmoniously in hiding.

After all, as long as there is a family, that's home.

But everything changed when the Cyan Alliance arrived.

Her father and others went out to search for gas and supplies, only to encounter members of the Cyan Alliance, and her father was killed.

Later, her brother sought revenge and also died at the hands of the Cyan Alliance.

Thus, she and her family had been hiding here, albeit with the convenience of her pet's flying ability in searching for supplies.

After hearing Wang Xinxia's ordeal, they all felt deep sympathy.

They also lamented how truly evil the Cyan Alliance was!
