Chapter 3295: Chapter 3295: There’s Definitely No Way Out
Sure enough, after a while, the hot meals were brought to the table, and it was the owner himself who brought them.
"Owner, don’t you even hire a worker in the inn here? You still do it yourself?" Fifth Senior Brother smiled as he asked the owner who was setting the table for them.
"Ah, there’s no worker in the inn anymore."
The owner shook his head with a bitter expression, a worker in the inn? Who would dare work in Rock City now?
"Everyone’s gone, those who could run ran away, those who couldn’t have hidden at home and don’t come out anymore. Who would dare wander the streets now?" He paused, thinking of these few guests before him, who seemed to have been walking the streets earlier.
He coughed awkwardly.
"Please don’t mind, I was just speaking casually. It’s just that now, no one in the city dares to walk on the streets. If they’re not careful, they’ll get caught by those Evil Cultivation folks."
Saying this, he shook his head, showing a regretful look for those who got captured.
"Then why are you still open for business? Is it getting hard to live?" Fifth Senior Brother asked.
"Not at all. No matter how it is, life goes on."
The owner shook his head again. If there were any other way, who would still run a shop now? It’s only because they are forced to.
"The townspeople don’t come out, but those Evil Cultivation folks still do. If they see the shops they frequent closed, the shop owners would be doomed.
Those people are ruthless. There were people who went home and closed shop before, and their entire families were killed by the Evil Cultivation folks.
Tsk tsk, it was tragic, being hung at the city gates, with so many people watching them getting disemboweled. After that, no one dared to close shop, unless they could escape."
The owner sighed again. He wanted to close too, wanted to hide at home.
Look, all his workers in the inn, the people in the kitchen, have all fled. It’s just him, his wife, and their children guarding here. He runs the front, his wife the kitchen.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave, they just can’t. What else can he do? He’s in despair.
"Those Evil Cultivation folks made it clear, if anyone dares to close their shop and run, they’d kill their entire family. Who would dare? Even with no business every day, they have to keep the doors open."
"Tsk!"
Min Yi tutted softly, really wanting to curse.
But outside, he couldn’t draw the owner’s attention, so he held it in, almost to the point of spitting blood.
"So that’s how it is. It’s so strict here, but our side’s okay, fewer Evil Cultivation folks, not to that extent. Looks like we can’t get out of the city."
He casually hinted to the owner that they were people of Rock City, just coming from another side.
"You’re planning to leave?"
The owner heard his words and was startled.
So many people before couldn’t escape the pursuit of Evil Cultivation folks, right?
If it weren’t for some mysterious person killing those Evil Cultivation folks, who knows how many corpses of townsfolk would have piled up by now. Who knows when these days will end?
"No, no, there’s no way to leave, the city gates are closed, and there are so many Evil Cultivation folks guarding it. Anyone trying to leave would surely... surely die."
He lowered his voice as he spoke.
Who wouldn’t want to leave? He wants to leave too, but he has to be able to. Rock City has completely fallen into the hands of Evil Cultivation folks.
It might end up like some planes, where Rock City becomes part of the Dark Domain.
"We’ll see, it’s good if we can get out, if not, we’ll find a place to stay for now." Fifth Senior Brother looked at Min Yi as he spoke.
