At this time, everyone ran into the unfinished building. The snowstorm outside was getting heavier and heavier. Some of the remaining broken tents on the construction site made violent flapping sounds in the wind and snow.

"Oh my god, where did this strange wind come from? It was fine just now. Why is it snowing so heavily again? This is not normal." Someone in the crowd patted the ice on his shoulders, raised his head and looked at the increasingly strong wind and snow with lingering fear.

"This is not only abnormal, it's absolutely too abnormal. How can it snow so heavily? This is simply hail, okay?" Another person covered his face that had just been hit by ice chips and couldn't help complaining.

This unfinished building has no gate or wall, so the door on the first floor is open to the outside. Ice and snow are constantly blown into the room by the hurricane. Some people couldn't stand it and ran to the second floor. At least in addition to the windows, there are walls on the second floor that can block some of the wind and snow.

Qin Cong was standing outside the first floor, with the wind and snow constantly hitting his face, causing him to shrink his neck and back away.

Fan Yong glanced at the sky, which was even darker than before, and then squinted his eyes and shouted to everyone, "It's too snowy now. We can't go out at all. It's not suitable to risk hiking in such a weather. Let's stay here for now and wait for the snow to subside."

Gu Tongwan also looked at Chen Yanxi and the others, but he was not panicked by the sudden change in the weather. "It looks like we have to stay here for a while. The blizzard won't stop for a while."

"What kind of luck is this? I checked the weather forecast before I went out, and it didn't say there would be a heavy snowstorm." Liao Yunyun sighed, her face full of helplessness.

"Let's go up to the second floor. It's too windy here and it's not suitable to rest here." Chen Yanxi glanced at the stairs in front and suggested in a low voice.

Seeing Yan Fan sitting down and gradually taking out his water cup and compressed biscuits, the others realized that they might not be able to leave for a while, so they each found a place to sit down.

After the four people went up to the second floor, they found that there were already five or six people there.

Yan Fan silently took out a long folded cloth from his backpack, spread it out on the ground, and then said, "Sit down and rest first."

Fortunately, everyone on the road carried a simple bag, which basically contained dry food and some daily medicines. They also carried a thin blanket in case of an unexpected situation and were forced to stay outside.

After Gu Tongwan and the others sat down, seven or eight more people came up from the second floor. Originally, more people wanted to go up to the second floor, but the first floor was only about 80 square meters. Although it could accommodate more than 20 people, it would be a bit crowded. What's more, some people had already lay down, which would take up even more space. So a dozen people gave up on the second floor and simply used some remaining steel plates nearby to block the first floor door, which could at least prevent some of the blizzard from continuing to pour into the room.

Originally, there were still people who wanted to rush to the second floor. Perhaps it was because they saw that Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan, two superpowers, had already occupied one of the corners on the second floor. And it was not known whether it was the coldness emanating from Chen Yanxi that

In order to facilitate travel, the dry food that everyone carries with them is basically all compressed biscuits developed by the base. As for water, they only need to carry a cup, take some from the snow outside, and then make a fire to melt it. In this way, they will get a cup of drinkable hot water.

Although the heated snow water is not filtered, the harm to the human body has been reduced to a minimum after boiling. It is not dangerous to consume it directly without filtering occasionally.

Liao Yunyun also took two stainless steel cups and ran out. When she came back a while later, she saw that the cups were full of snow.

"I specifically picked the snow on the tarpaulin in front. It should be cleaner than the snow on the ground." Liao Yunyun said as she put the cup on the ground. Then she saw Yan Fan coming up from the first floor with a lot of dry branches in his hands. The two huge bodies behind him also shook off the snow that had fallen on their bodies.

"I thought I didn't see Aoao and Tutu just now. It turns out they ran away to find something to make a fire. But where did they find branches? Is there a forest nearby?" Liao Yunyun asked curiously.

"There is a small forest four kilometers away. The vegetation was introduced from the large forest safety zone in the north in order to increase the greening area. No one has managed it since the natural disaster, so some of it should still be alive." Yan Fan explained.

Liao Yunyun glanced at the pile of dry branches at her feet and sighed, "This round trip must be about eight or nine kilometers. They are running at this speed."

The others were a little afraid of the two dogs at first. After all, they were frighteningly large in size, and they were not well-behaved and obedient in front of outsiders. If anyone looked at them for a second longer, they would bare their teeth at the other person, revealing their two ten-centimeter fangs.

Maybe it was because of the two dogs being there, even if some people were temporarily jealous and had something to start a fire, they would be too embarrassed to come over and ask for some.

However, some people were relatively well prepared. One man was carrying a huge backpack and took out several flammable candles from it. He also found some flammable tarpaulins nearby and was able to make a small fire.

Fan Yong also had a trick up his sleeve. Before coming, he arranged for Qin Cong to bring a small bag of charcoal. The charcoal was not much, only about three or four pounds. Qin Cong had been carrying it in his hands before. He originally thought it was food or some other tools that could be used, but it turned out that the bag was full of charcoal.

Fan Yong seemed to have some conscience at this moment, but perhaps also because he wanted to demonstrate his leadership and commanding style, after the fire was lit, he immediately waved his hand and called several people to come forward and warm themselves by the fire together.

"He's quite a good person now. No wonder others agree to let him be the chairman of the owners' committee. Such people can survive well in any environment." Gu Tongwan glanced at the campfire surrounded by eleven or twelve people and smiled faintly.

"Tsk, he's just pretending. As the organizer of this trip, if he has the nerve to enjoy it all by himself, he'll probably be criticized behind his back. Besides, he has a lot of charcoal at home. Last time I saw him pulling several baskets back in a van, and then he complained to others in the group that he couldn't buy charcoal. It's a good thing I didn't see through his little trick, otherwise how would he have the nerve to cry poor?" Liao Yunyun obviously didn't have a good impression of Fan Yong, and the word disgust was almost written on her face.

"We should be on guard against others. Let's be careful. Although we are working with Fan Yong this time, he has bad intentions. On the surface, he seems to be principled and loyal, but judging from his intention to arrange our car as a scouting group and his repeated attempts to test Chen Yanxi, he is definitely not as simple as he seems. Moreover, he took the initiative to find the black hole photographed by the drone this time. Perhaps he has other purposes."

It was now 10:30 in the morning, and an hour and a half had passed since we set out. This place was clearly less than four kilometers away from the civil servants' residential area, but it took a lot of time on the road.

"There's only one bar of cell phone signal left. It takes a long time to send a message, and I can't make a call. Is the signal too weak around here?" Liao Yunyun took out her cell phone and looked at the message that hadn't been sent. The expression on her face changed from expectation to disappointment. Finally, she turned her head and asked Gu Tongwan worriedly: "Wanwan, this is too strange, how could there be no signal for no reason? There shouldn't be any magnetic field affecting this area. By the way, this feeling is very similar to when we were in the underground city. At that time, all the cell phone signals were blocked because of some strange power in the underground city. But this place should not be far from the city center, and the underground city is at least 100 meters away from the ground, so it shouldn't affect here."

Gu Tongwan has a different opinion. "A range of one hundred meters is about the height of the twenty-sixth floor, but there is no scientific evidence to show that the underground city will not affect the ground. Moreover, with the continuous mining and excavation of the underground city, the depth between the surface and the underground is gradually shortening. The appearance of the black hole this time may not be accidental. Instead, it is because of the influence of human beings and the environment that some things underground have the opportunity to come out."

"Beauty, from what you said, it seems that you are sure that there must be something underground? Now we don't even know what's in the black hole, but you look so confident. Moreover, I think the hole is very deep, but maybe it was dug by mice or night cats?" One of the men who were roasting fire on Fan Yong's side couldn't help but laugh and tease. Mainly because he felt that the conversation between Liao Yunyun and Gu Tongwan had exceeded the scope of ordinary imagination. After all, the top leaders of the base completely blocked the news of the mutants appearing in the underground city. Therefore, most of the residents were unaware of the situation, and they didn't know that there were terrible mutant creatures in the underground city.

Liao Yunyun stood up immediately, and only then did everyone see clearly that she was not wearing a scarf. Perhaps they were used to seeing women with unkempt hair and dirty faces in the apocalypse, or perhaps they were too busy surviving to bother dressing themselves up, so they were a little surprised to see a girl like Liao Yunyun who not only had clean eyebrows and eyes but also a beautiful face.

In fact, Liao Yunyun is not bad looking. Because of her tall height and good looks, she even worked as a print model for a short period of time. Even in the end times, she still likes to dress up. Although she doesn't wear makeup, at least her face is always clean, and she tries to dress appropriately. Coupled with her natural temperament, it is easy for her to stand out among a group of girls.

Seeing the teasing man's expression turn into a frivolous smile, Liao Yunyun immediately frowned in disgust, "It's stupid enough to say it out loud, it's even stupider. You can tell at a glance that you have never been to the dungeon. You don't even believe what others say, but you only believe hearsay."

It was the first time that the man was mercilessly criticized by a woman. He felt embarrassed and retorted angrily, "You are quite a talker, girl. How come what you said is not hearsay? We were just chatting for fun. Why do you take it so seriously?"

"As for that, if you weren't so angry, I wouldn't take it seriously." Liao Yunyun has never been a person who can stand being bullied. What's more, he was not the only one mocking her just now, but also Gu Tongwan. Liao Yunyun recalled the scene she had experienced in the dungeon. After the disgust and fear, she felt angry because of being questioned.

Just when Liao Yunyun wanted to continue arguing, she felt a force on her wrist. She looked down and found that it was Gu Tongwan who grabbed her.

"Sit down first, there's no need to argue with him." Gu Tongwan was unusually calm, as if he didn't care at all about what the other person said.

"But, he..." Liao Yunyun wanted to say something, but Gu Tongwan just shook his head.

Chen Yanxi didn't seem to have any intention of standing up for her, so Liao Yunyun could only sit down angrily.

The quick-talking man thought they were just talking too much, and couldn't help showing a little smugness on his face, "I told you, there are still many reasonable people. Beauty, you should learn from your friend, your friend is much more reasonable."

Liao Yunyun bit her lip and then said in a low voice in dissatisfaction: "Why do you just let this person talk nonsense? Do you also let this person who can't control his mouth say whatever he wants?"

Gu Tongwan glanced at the person and happened to meet the other person's eyes. Although the person didn't see Gu Tongwan's appearance clearly, because the other person was a woman, he was very happy to flirt with her and even gave her a wink. However, he did not notice the coldness that flashed across Gu Tongwan's eyes.

"Don't worry, people like this won't live long." Gu Tongwan said slowly after adding a piece of firewood to the fire.

Hearing this, Liao Yunyun looked at Gu Tongwan in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Gu Tongwan then mentioned that when the man was approaching the black hole, he was in a hurry to stick his head down and didn't notice that his ankle was cut by the iron sheet next to him.

"A cut ankle? What's wrong with that? Iron is rusty, so it will cause tetanus? But the probability of this is not necessarily 100%, unless the wound is very deep. But the man did have a limp when he walked just now." Liao Yunyun's imagination was really blown away, and she said what she thought was the closest idea.

Yan Fan, who was standing next to him, had his mind spinning rapidly. He suddenly thought of the man's finger wrapped in gauze, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Wanwan, did that man's blood drip into the hole?"

Gu Tongwan nodded, his expression still indifferent.

Seeing that Liao Yunyun still had only a vague understanding, Chen Yanxi began to explain: "Higher mutant beasts are extremely sensitive to blood. Even at a distance of hundreds of meters, they can detect nearby low-level prey. Especially when animals are fasting, their desire for prey will reach an unprecedented level. At that time, even if there are other high-level mutant beasts nearby, they will try to capture the prey.

"Ah, you mean that the idiot is likely to attract the monsters below because of his injury?" Liao Yunyun was shocked and panicked, and then asked in a low voice: "Now he is in the same building with us, we will not be implicated and treated as prey as well, right?"

"No." This was Yan Fan's answer.

Just as Liao Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Fan glanced at Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi, who were obviously smiling and hadn't explained clearly, and added, "At least not during the day.
