Chapter 573: Comrades
There were foreigners in the country, but after the world changed, everyone scattered, hiding and fleeing to various places. Yet this place had gathered so many foreigners.
Su Man and Lu Yuwen remained silent on the surface, but their nerves were on edge simultaneously, alertly watching the people around them.
Those people were also looking at them.
However, no one came forward to talk. People grouped in threes and fours, forming small groups, discussing something in whispers.
Su Man and Lu Yuwen continued forward and saw that this was not just a gathering of “foreigners”, but a gathering of people from all over the world—
Various skin colors, various costumes, they also saw Asian faces.
Why was everyone gathered here? Was it for that so-called maze war?
Just as they were puzzled, a white square nearby suddenly lit up. Three people entered from the light, just like Su Man and Lu Yuwen when they had first arrived, their eyes wide in surprise.
These were three black men. They looked around in surprise, asking, “What is this place? Hey, what’s going on?!”
Though it seemed like they were speaking in English from lip movements, what Su Man and Lu Yuwen heard was strong, fluent Chinese!
The two were once again taken aback and glanced at each other.
A familiar male voice called from a distance.
Su Man looked in the voice’s direction, even more shocked. Was that Yan Qingwen?!
Next to Yan Qingwen were Shen Mo, Bai Youwei, Tan Xiao, and others from the Shanghai Base evaluation team. All were people she knew!
Su Man, overjoyed, immediately picked up the pace to greet them, “Why are you all here?!”
Yan Qingwen glanced at Lu Yuwen standing behind Su Man and asked, “Who is he?”
“Ah! I forgot to introduce us—” Su Man pulled Lu Yuwen to the front and introduced him joyfully, “This is Lu Yuwen, I met him in Maze No. 6. Lucky he was with me, or I certainly wouldn’t have made it out!”
Then, Su Man introduced her companions to Lu Yuwen.
“This is Yan Qingwen, this is Shen Mo, this is…” When she introduced Bai Youwei, Su Man’s eyes crinkled in a smile, she said to Lu Yuwen, “This is Bai Youwei. See, I wasn’t lying, right?”
Lu Yuwen’s gaze went directly to Bai Youwei’s legs.
He thought Su Man was just comforting him, but it turned out to be true… How could it be? Without even the basic ability to move, how could she pass through those bizarre games?
Bai Youwei was sitting in a wheelchair, her expressionless face looking at the two, “Hey, Su Man, has your new friend never seen a cripple before?”
Su Man burst out laughing, “Hahaha… Weiwei, don’t misunderstand, actually, he used to be a little lame, so that’s why he’s staring at you like that!”
Bai Youwei frowned at Lu Yuwen’s leg.
“His leg has healed!” Su Man hastily told Bai Youwei, “It turns out that the maze can heal any injury, even old ones can be cured! Weiwei, you’ve entered the maze a few times, your legs must be getting better, right?!”
Everyone looked at Bai Youwei.
Shen Mo was also looking at her.
She had never mentioned this to Shen Mo, now that Su Man laid it bare, it was a bit embarrassing.
“…Of course not!” Bai Youwei replied irritably, with a hint of embarrassment, “He was only lame, but I can’t move at all, okay?! Are we even comparable?!”
“That’s true.” Su Man nodded understandingly, “If you enter the maze once more, you will certainly recover!”
Bai Youwei made a face, saying disgruntledly, “Now suddenly being brought to such a place, where is there any maze? It’s so annoying…”
Su Man looked around in puzzlement. “Yes, why are we suddenly brought here…”
