"Who are these people you mentioned, people like me?"
Someone similar to me? Are there really people like that in this world? Could it be... clones?
"One of them I met half a year ago, and the other two months ago. Both of them came from places where they had been living in isolation and were exploring the outside world."
"Exploring the outside world?"
I paused briefly. After savoring his words, I immediately understood that what he meant was completely different from what I had thought.
"So that's how it is..."
I nodded. It seemed there were quite a few people who thought like me. At the very least, this young man did not seem to be lying. His smile was sincere, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
After all these years, I had been through hardships and storms. I still had enough discernment to tell that the young man was not deceiving me.
"Let's get acquainted. You should have heard my name from my companion just now. My name is Yuejian, and my surname is Yue. According to my father, before the apocalypse, there were very few people with our surname. It was almost extinct."
The surname Yue? That really was a rare one.
"It was almost extinct before the apocalypse? How...?"
I pretended to hesitate. To put it simply, I wanted him to invite me. That way, I would gain the upper hand in the conversation. At least... I would be the one deciding whether to leave. If I took the initiative to join them, it might arouse their suspicions.
"I don't know the details either. My father only said that there used to be fewer than five hundred Han Chinese with the surname Yue, and around two thousand Mongols."
Han Chinese? Mongols?
Wait
