Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 248 The Secret Underground

When Li Xun saw the aurora that went deep into the ground, Li Xun couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Aurora means a steady stream of extreme energy. For evolvers and evolving plants, this is the best place. As long as you stay in Aurora, you don't have to do anything, and you can evolve just by sleeping.

Entering the aurora, a trace of energy can penetrate into Li Xun's body, and every breath is hearty, like drinking a big sip of an iced drink on a hot summer day.

Although the place is underground and the tunnel is very narrow, it doesn't feel stuffy. Li Xun found a few arm-thick holes above the tunnel, which should be used for ventilation. The people who dug the tunnel were very thoughtful.

So far, the tunnel Li Xun has climbed has exceeded 300 meters, and there are three larger spaces. With this scale, it is impossible for ordinary survivors to complete under the current conditions, further verifying his guess.

Li Xun continued to crawl forward for 20 meters, and he could vaguely see a bright light different from the aurora coming from the end of the cave ahead, and at the same time, a person's voice came.

"Xu Yuntong, come out to eat, thank you for your hard work today."

Xu Yuntong?Xiao Fan's girlfriend?

Sure enough, I found the right place.

Li Xun's movements became faster, and soon he climbed out of the tunnel and entered a spacious underground room.

This space is rectangular, with an area of ​​more than 20 square meters, and a height of nearly three meters. There are three doors at intervals of three meters from left to right on the opposite wall, and a pink curtain is hung in the rightmost door.

There is also a door on the wall on the left and right sides of the space, and a cloth curtain is also hung on the door on the left, but the color is white.

It looks like a residence here, with five rooms and one living room, which can be called luxurious on the ground floor.

Although the whole space is shrouded in aurora, a camping lamp is hung in the middle of the ceiling of the living room, emitting a warm yellow light.

There is a small square table on the left side of the living room, which is a portable folding table. There are four folding chairs beside the table, and some food is placed on the table.

Two young men were standing at the table, taking something out of a bag.

They obviously didn't expect that someone suddenly came out of the tunnel and was looking at him dumbfounded.

It took a while for the two of them to react. The tall one hurriedly grabbed a long-handled fire ax placed by the wall, and the other with long hair that could be tied into a braid stepped back and said angrily, "Who are you?" ? How did you get in?"

At this time, the pink curtain on the opposite side was lifted, and a beautiful girl in a black jacket walking out froze when she saw the situation in the hall.

Li Xun took a quick glance at the three of them. They were all young and in their prime, and they should all be college students.

It's just that he found that Fan Jiachen was not among the two boys. Before coming here, Lao Fan had shown him a photo of his son. He was a handsome guy, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and had a bright smile.

Li Xun smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I came from the open space south of the University of Science and Technology, and no one else found this place, nor was it discovered by the polar beast."

The long-haired boy glanced at the girl standing at the door, his eyes were cold, and he quickly put his gaze on Li Xun, looking at him vigilantly: "The tunnel is at least one meter underground, how did you find out?"

"Accidentally discovered."

"Accidentally discovered? The hole one meter underground, you told me that you discovered it by accident?" The long-haired boy obviously didn't believe what Li Xun said, and his voice couldn't help rising. The tall boy held the fire ax tightly with both hands. , staring at him fiercely.

"Well, my friend has a special ability. He can see the situation underground." Li Xun explained patiently.

"Awakened?"

"I think it's more appropriate to call it an evolutionary." Li Xun glanced at him, took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Shen Yiqing: "Xiao Shen, come here."

"Okay." Shen Yiqing who was waiting at the other end of the tunnel replied.

"Anyone else?" The long-haired boy's expression changed again.

"Well, didn't I just say that my friend found this place, and she will come over soon, don't worry, it's just the two of us."

"This is our territory, outsiders are not welcome, please leave." The long-haired boy looked gloomy.

"No problem, I don't intend to stay here, I'll leave in a while." Li Xun looked around and found that there were a lot of food and water in the two rooms without curtains, and he saw a corner of the tent.

In addition, there are a lot of things piled up in the room without curtains on the right. This small underground base looks quite decent, with sufficient supplies and covered by the aurora. It is indeed a good place to hide.

"How did you get in?"

"It came down through a hole in the cave."

"Did you collapse the burrow?" The faces of the two boys became ugly.

"No, it's just a hole, about half a meter. It shouldn't be difficult to repair with your skills."

"What are you doing down here?"

"I'm here to find someone. Is Fan Jiachen from the University of Science and Technology here?" Li Xun looked at the two boys and asked.

The face of the girl standing at the door changed, and she looked at Li Xun with a hesitant expression.

The long-haired boy glanced at her sideways, and said to Li Xun in a cold voice: "There is no such person here, you can look elsewhere."

Li Xun frowned: "He is a third-year student at the School of Optoelectronics, Polytechnic University. His hometown is Shanghai, and he likes to play basketball. Don't you guys know him?"

"He's from the School of Optoelectronics. We're from the School of Chemical Engineering. We don't know him." The long-haired boy thought for a moment and replied.

At this moment, Shen Yiqing got out of the tunnel and stood beside Li Xun.

When two men and a woman in the small base saw such a young and beautiful girl appearing in front of them, they couldn't help but take a second look.

All three seemed to ignore the hunting knife in her hand and the buckler on her back.

Seeing that the long-haired boy said that Fan Jiachen was not here, and categorically denied knowing him, Li Xun's heart sank.

He heard clearly just now that the long-haired boy asked Xu Yuntong to come out for dinner, and the girl who came out from behind the curtain was obviously her.

But now she heard that he was looking for Fan Jiachen, but she didn't respond. Either she just had the same name as Xiao Fan's girlfriend, or she was threatened or had some unspeakable secrets.

Li Xun is more inclined to the latter.

"What are the names of the three students?"

"There's no need to get close, you go away, there is no one you are looking for here, you have damaged our tunnel, and we have to hurry up to repair it." The long-haired boy said impatiently.

Li Xun frowned, and ignored the long-haired boy. He didn't intend to waste any more time. If he found Fan Jiachen earlier, he could go out earlier in the dark.

He turned his head and looked at the girl standing at the door: "You are Xu Yuntong, right? Sun Fei said you are Fan Jiachen's girlfriend, where is he?"

Xu Yuntong's face suddenly turned pale. He glanced at the two boys, gritted his teeth, and said decisively, "Fan Jiachen was killed by them."
