Chapter 286 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 14
After listening to Shen Chumo's explanation, Hu Le frowned slightly and pondered, "Chumo, what you said makes sense, but we don't know anything about this Heavenly Realm. We don't know if the people there are easy to get along with, or if they will accept us humans."
Shen Chumo sighed softly, "This is indeed a problem, but we can't worry about that now."
"If we stay in the Beast Realm, we'll be caught by the arena sooner or later, and then we'll truly have no way to survive. The Heavenly Realm, after all, is an unknown hope, and it's better than sitting and waiting to die."
Hu Le nodded. "Chu Mo, you're right. Let's go to Tianyu."
As the two were talking, they didn't notice a crow appear outside their window. The crow's black bean-like eyes were fixed on them, as if it could understand what they were saying.
Two days later, Shen Chumo and Hu Le prepared to set off. They packed their things, wrapped themselves up tightly, and quietly left their temporary hiding place before dawn.
Then he went to a land vehicle at the back of the street and sat down. This vehicle was modified and repaired by Shen Chumo in a junkyard over the past two days.
Although the car body was old and worn, she cleverly adjusted its internal structure, which not only allowed it to start silently, but also provided a certain degree of protection.
Hu Le sat in the passenger seat, his eyes filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
"Chu Mo, are you sure this car can be driven?"
Shen Chumo started the engine, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Don't worry, I've checked it multiple times. As long as we don't encounter any really bad road conditions, it should be fine."
The car slowly drove out, quietly moving along the quiet street, and soon left the city and entered a winding alley.
The sky was overcast, and a few crows circled and flew overhead.
After leaving El City by side road, they drove for several more hours. Seeing El City hundreds of kilometers away, the two finally felt a little relieved.
Shen Chumo and Hu Le were focused on the road ahead when they suddenly saw a figure waving with difficulty by the roadside.
The man was hunched over and dressed in rags, as if he had lost his way in this desolate place and was in dire need of help.
Hu Le noticed first, patted Shen Chumo's arm lightly, and said, "Chumo, look at that person, he looks so pitiful, should we help him?"
Shen Chumo slowed down the car and cautiously observed the other party.
The man was a young man with very handsome features, but his face was haggard and his eyes showed fatigue and helplessness. From his appearance, he looked like a person who was extremely down on his luck.
Although she had doubts, kindness ultimately prevailed, and she slowly parked the car next to the man.
The car window rolled down, and Shen Chumo asked, "What's wrong?"
The man raised his head, his voice trembling: "Kind girl, I escaped from... my orc master. I've been walking here for days, and I'm so hungry and tired that I can't walk anymore."
"Could you give me a ride to the nearest town ahead?"
As he spoke, he coughed weakly a few times.
Hu Le felt pity for him. He had almost been forced to be a plaything by Liya and suffered inhuman torture, so he empathized with the person in front of him who claimed to have escaped from the hands of the orc master.
"Chu Mo, why don't we take him for a while? He's so pitiful."
Shen Chumo looked the man up and down. He looked haggard, thin, and his clothes were tattered, torn, and stained, as if he had really gone through a long and difficult escape.
However, Shen Chumo had experienced many hardships in this perilous beast realm, and her vigilance had become deeply ingrained.
She paused for a moment, not responding to Hu Le immediately, but instead asked, "Where did you escape from? And who is your orc master?"
A flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a tearful voice, "I escaped from a manor east of El City. My orc master is called... Baal, a very cruel guy. He forces me every day and beats and scolds me all the time."
Shen Chumo noticed the change in the man's eyes when he answered, which deepened her doubts. However, looking at Hu Le's eager eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.
After thinking it over, she turned and opened the back door.
"Get in the car, but you'd better not try anything funny."
The man thanked him repeatedly and slowly and laboriously got into the car.
The car started again and drove along the winding road. The man remained huddled in the back seat, occasionally letting out a suppressed cough; he looked extremely weak.
Hu Le couldn't help but strike up a conversation with him: "What's your name? What are your plans after you find the town?"
The man sighed. "My name is Allen. I want to find a place to have a good meal first, and then ask around to see if there are any other people who escaped like me. If I can find companions, it would be great to leave the Beast Realm together."
Although Shen Chumo did not participate in the conversation, she kept an eye on the man's every move through the rearview mirror.
She noticed that Alan seemed to be casually observing the interior of the car, his eyes occasionally glancing at where she and Hu Le had placed their belongings.
Hu Le handed Alan a bottle of water and a bag of bread.
"Alan, why don't you fill your stomach first?"
Allen took the water and bread, and stared at the packaging he had never seen before, somewhat surprised.
Immediately, a grateful smile appeared on his lips. "Thank you so much, thank you all so much."
As he spoke, he began to unpack the food and started eating.
When the sweet bread entered his mouth, Alan, also known as Herren, had a glint in his eyes. How could this bread be so delicious? It was even more delicious than the bread made by the chef in his family.
Coupled with the unprecedented packaging, Herren became even more certain that Shen Chumo must have a huge secret.
Herren's interest grew stronger, but he pretended to be eating bread for the first time, chewing it carefully and occasionally letting out satisfied exclamations.
"Thank you so much! This is the first time I've ever eaten something so delicious."
Seeing that Alan was enjoying his meal, Hu Le felt gratified. In the past few days, Shen Chumo had brought out a lot of food that he had never seen before. This food was even many times more delicious than the food that the kitchen of the fighting arena made for the nobles.
He then realized that there were so many ways to process meat, and that it wouldn't have a fishy or foul smell when cooked.
Herren chatted with Hu Le a lot along the way. Fortunately, although Hu Le sympathized with Herren, he did not say anything he should have.
Shen Chumo remained silent, only responding occasionally.
The car continued driving on the winding road. It had completely darkened, and the fuel tank was almost empty.
Shen Chumo frowned; they needed to find a gas station to refuel their car.
Herren glanced at the nearly empty fuel gauge, and a thought struck him.
"Miss Shen, are you out of gas? I remember passing through a small town not too far from here. Maybe there's a gas station there."
Although Shen Chumo was still wary of Herren, she had no better option at the moment, so she could only nod and drive in the direction Herren indicated.
