Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 574 Going to the Ground
C, who stood at the cave entrance, waited for more than ten minutes. Finally, he couldn't stand the wind and snow hitting him anymore, so he tried to pull the rope up. At first, he felt empty, thinking that the two people might have just entered the cave, so they couldn't come up for a while. But he couldn't do anything if he stayed at the cave entrance, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote on the paper, "I'll go to avoid the wind and snow first, and come back in half an hour." This was also what they had discussed in advance. If three people went down, there would be no need to use this method, but if only two people went down, then the people who stayed above had to guard the cave entrance. If they encountered uncontrollable situations, they could throw a paper ball into the cave entrance to leave a message, and then find a place to temporarily take shelter, but the time away should not be too long, and the final time was between half an hour and an hour.
C crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the black hole, then left wrapped in his coat. When he returned to the unfinished building, he found that everyone was still sleeping. Only one person who came out from the second floor to pee found him and joked with him, "You can't hold it in and go out to pee too?"
C showed an awkward smile on his face and nodded: "Yeah, I drank too much water last night."
The man didn't notice C's abnormality, and complained in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Hey, if you just pee at the door, I won't have that much direction since I'm on the second floor, and there's a woman upstairs. But you didn't freeze your thing outside, did you?"
C did not answer, his mind was still on A and B who had gone down into the cave. The man was busy solving the problem at this time.
Without asking C any more, after making a joke, he walked around C and stood at the door. His body trembled for a while, and he quickly solved the problem of urinary urgency and then walked back. Only then did he realize that C had already fallen asleep against the corner.
"It's strange that I can sleep in such a cold day." He muttered to himself and went back to the second floor without seeing C's shaking shoulders and his distorted face full of fear.
C was awakened by the cold. He shivered all over before opening his eyes. When he looked at his watch, he found that it had been at least an hour since the two of them entered the cave. The man was so scared that he hurried out.
Fortunately, the snowstorm is smaller than before. The man jogged for a while, and was shocked when he ran near the black hole. He didn't know when it started, but the area of the black hole seemed to be larger than before. The hole, which was originally about three meters wide, was now at least four meters wide, and there were some mud blocks brought out nearby. What made the man feel even more creepy was that some footprints, who didn't know whether they were from humans or monsters, spread from the hole to a small road near the street lamp.
Although C was scared after discovering the situation, he thought that A and B were still in the cave, so he quickly grabbed the rope that fell on the side.
The rope was empty and weightless, but C kept pulling it up until he saw one end of the rope covered with rusty red blood. He let out a terrified scream, dropped the rope and climbed back, but fell heavily to the ground several times because the snow was slippery.
C almost crawled back to the unfinished building, his face covered with tears and snot. His mind was filled with the bloodstains on the end of the rope, which were clearly human, and the footprints around the cave. A and B must be in great danger now.
He ran to the second floor and shouted in the direction of Fan Yong: "Something happened, something happened, A and B are missing!"
Fan Yong reacted and stood up immediately, and asked with a cold face: "What's missing? Aren't they both downstairs? Take a good breath first and then explain clearly."
Naturally, C did not dare to say the purpose of their plan to enter the cave, so he could only conceal part of the facts. He simply changed the fact that they entered the cave into that they went out to find a place to pee, so they unconsciously went to look near the black hole. A and C decided to go down and take a look on a whim, and he himself did not go down because he was not feeling well. When he came to his senses, the two had been down there for some time.
"Damn it, this is simply reckless. I think you just want to die! Don't you know how dangerous it is down there?" Fan Yong was shocked and angry. He was shocked that someone actually entered the black hole on their own ahead of time, and he was angry that these people actually went down without reporting in advance. If something went wrong, wouldn't it be his fault as the organizer for not managing the team well?
"Forget it, there's no point in scolding now. Let's take people to check out what's going on. If he really fell down or something happened downstairs, we won't be able to explain it clearly." Qin Si pulled Fan Yong's arm and glanced at the crowd on the second floor. He was very angry at these people, but if Fan Yong did not express his opinion at this time, the people in the team would definitely think that Fan Yong was irresponsible. He would inevitably be gossiped about in the community in the future, and he might even not be able to continue to serve as the chairman of the owners' committee. This was unacceptable to the face-conscious Qin Si. No matter what, Fan Yong had to set an example.
After Fan Yong reacted a little, his face darkened. He found a few owners with whom he had a good relationship and discussed going out. However, Fan Yong did not plan to go out alone. Instead, he found Chen Yanxi, explained the situation briefly, and tactfully expressed his hope that the two psychics would help.
Seeing that Fan Yong had already taken a low profile and asked for help, it would be a bit unkind for Chen Yanxi and the others to refuse. Without waiting for Chen Yanxi to express his opinion, Gu Tongwan nodded and said calmly, "We'll go and see what's going on, but we can't guarantee that we can help."
Fan Yong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but once he looked into Chen Yanxi's calm black eyes, he felt scared again. He could only say, "Of course, it would be great if you could go together."
There were not many people going this time. Originally, Liao Yunyun was not in the team, but she insisted on going out.
"I'm scared to stay here alone, and I see the snow is getting lighter outside, so I'd better go out with you guys, maybe there's something I can do to help."
In fact, the original intention was for Aoao and Liao Yunyun to stay in the unfinished building together. If there was any unexpected situation, at least Aoao could take Liao Yunyun away in time.
There were not many people going this time. There were only Fan Yong, Qin Cong, Qin Si and a few other property owners, plus Gu Tongwan, Chen Yanxi and two dogs, a total of about twelve people. The other dozen or so people felt reluctant to leave because it was cold and snowing outside, but they expressed dissatisfaction after finding out that Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan had left.
"Now that the two superpowers are gone, who will protect us?"
"That's right. We also need people with special abilities here. Who knows what accidents might happen."
"Fan Yong, you can't be so selfish. You are few in number. It's okay to take away one psychic, but it's not okay to take away two of them."
Fan Yong just sneered, and then said sarcastically: "If you have the guts, then ask them to stay. If you are really scared, you can come together. Don't act like a big shot in front of me."
The rest of the people turned their eyes to Chen Yanxi. They were still very afraid of the aura Chen Yanxi exuded. After all, they couldn't afford to offend someone who could control their minds at any time, so they shifted their attention to Yan Fan.
Yan Fan didn't say a word, but he had already stepped out of the unfinished building, and his attitude was very clear.
The man who started the commotion knew that the matter was basically a done deal, so he kept silent.
Before the group set out, Fan Yong asked everyone to prepare their tools, especially the tools for entering the cave. Qin Cong trotted over to Fan Yong and whispered, "Brother Yong, we should be able to go down this time. Those psychics are here, and they can scout the way for us."
"Keep your voice down. Are you worried that others can't hear our conversation? Don't forget that there is a psychic on the other side who can spy on us at any time."
Qin Cong immediately covered his mouth and glanced in the direction of Chen Yanxi furtively like a thief. He was relieved to find that he had been talking to the woman next to him with his head down.
In fact, Fan Yong and Qin Cong had been planning to enter the cave from the very beginning. Now they had an excuse to find someone, even if there were any mutant beasts underneath and the two psychics followed them in.
Several people with their own ulterior motives moved towards the black hole with either nervousness, excitement or trepidation. When everyone arrived at the black hole, there were no footprints near the entrance as C had mentioned, but the width of the entrance was indeed a little larger than before.
Chen Yanxi squatted down, gently scraped off some mud at the edge of the cave with his fingers, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then stood up and pulled back the rope that had fallen below. Sure enough, he found some coagulated blood stains on one end of the rope, but the area of the blood stains was not large, and it seemed more like it was accidentally stained.
"Look, there's real blood. I didn't lie to you. Something must have happened to them down there!" Man C's face was pale and his shoulders were shivering as if they were about to curl up into a ball.
Fan Yong was obviously startled. He held the long knife tightly with both hands, and subconsciously reached for his waist with the other hand. There was a small homemade firepower weapon there, which was a modified pistol. However, it only had seven bullets each time, and the spare ammunition was in his backpack. He had asked someone to find a connection to buy it on the black market. In recent years, except for the time when he met a group of people who clamored for him to pay the so-called protection fee, he never showed up again. However, controlled weapons are indeed intimidating. At least those second-rate guys with knives would consider whether they could withstand bullets after seeing this thing in their hands. The reason why he didn't brag about having weapons in front of others was that
"When did the person go down?" Fan Yong frowned as he looked at the dark and endless cave entrance, trying hard to remain calm.
Qin Si, who was following behind, covered his eyes with his hands. He was so scared that he shrank behind his brother, and his voice trembled: "Did those two people fall to death?"
"They probably didn't die from the fall. If they really did die from the fall, the rope would have broken long ago. Sister, look, although there is blood on the rope, one end of the rope is still intact, which means the blood may not be theirs." Qin Cong comforted Qin Si while staring at the rope.
Gu Tongwan at the side had a guess that the blood might have been stained by the monsters that climbed up while using the ropes. These monsters originally had excellent climbing abilities, and now with the hanging ropes, it was easy for them to get out of the cave.
"Those things have already climbed up. Now the inner circle is starting to become unsafe. I'm afraid your department will be busy for a while." Gu Tongwan said in a voice that only he and Chen Yanxi could hear.
"The most important thing now is to find the nest. The monsters we encountered before were all males, and we didn't encounter any females. This means that the females must still be in the nest. And judging by the frequency of monster appearances recently, the monsters have a strong reproductive capacity. If they continue to reproduce, I'm afraid the entire dungeon will be filled with these monsters." Chen Yanxi calmly analyzed the current situation in the dungeon, but Gu Tongwan detected a hint of cold murderous intent in his calm tone.
Gu Tongwan felt her scalp tingling when she thought about the dungeon being occupied by such monsters. After all, the dungeon was also part of her plan for future life, and she didn't want to live in an environment filled with all kinds of monsters in the future.
"That man obviously didn't tell the truth. If those two people really fell down, the rope would not have been able to break. And he looked strange, too. But it's understandable. He probably would have been put all the blame on himself if he told the truth." Gu Tongwan spoke slowly and squatted down to pull the rope, then measured it on his own body, as if trying to figure out how to tie the safety rope.
"Wanwan, are you planning to go down?" Liao Yunyun knew she was going down the cave when she saw her action.
Before Gu Tongwan could answer, Chen Yanxi answered for her: "It is actually safe down there now. All the snow ape mutants have left the nest, and the only ones left are the female mutants responsible for reproduction. This is the best time to attack the nest."
"Just a few of us?" Liao Yunyun opened her mouth wide and her voice became embarrassed. It was not that she did not believe in Chen Yanxi's strength, but she could not help but feel fear when she thought of the monsters in the cave.
"Before coming to find you, I had asked Liu Hun to lead people into the underground city from other caves. There shouldn't be a problem with manpower, but for safety reasons, you and Yan Fan can stay on the ground for the time being." Chen Yanxi stood no more than ten centimeters away from the cave entrance, and his clothes were rustling in the wind blowing up from the cave.
Liao Yunyun quickly glanced at Gu Tongwan and saw that her good sister also looked like she was about to go down, so she whispered to Yan Fan: "You don't want to go down too, do you?"
"Well, if possible." Yan Fan meant that if he didn't need to protect Liao Yunyun, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to enter the dungeon. After all, he and Chen Yanxi had not yet completely penetrated the monsters' lair. If he had the chance this time, he would like to kill these monsters himself.
After a fierce struggle and weighing of the pros and cons, Liao Yunyun finally seemed to have made up her mind and walked in front of Gu Tongwan, "I'd better go down with you."
