It's just the end of the world

Chapter 156 We have a home, and our home is underground.

As expected, the karst cave here used to be a scenic spot. Stepping into the cave is actually just a passage, a passage dug out of the mountain. The black bear probably thought it was a spacious and comfortable place to make a nest.

There are still small passage lights on both sides of the passage. Because of the arrival of the end of the world, they have collectively stopped working, but they just lean quietly on both sides of the passage, like a row of tiny people who welcome them.

After stepping into the tunnel, there are still traces of life left by the black bear, the most important thing is the smell residue, Zhou Jingge distributed masks to several people.

Everyone put on masks and coats, curiously shining flashlights on both sides of the aisle.

The passage is not too long. After walking for a few minutes, you will come to an iron gate. It looks like it used to be charged. The door is half-closed. Zhou Jingge pushes hard, and a burst of moisture mixed with the smell of calcium carbonate hits you. Come.

After a few breaths, the group of people got used to the smell that was incompatible with the end of the world. After smelling too many strange smells, they suddenly smelled this natural smell and felt extra refreshing.

All the viewing lights in the cave have lost their function due to the power outage. Under the flashlight, the stalactites of different shapes look particularly mysterious and illusory.

Several people illuminated it from different directions, some of the stalactites were milky white, some were light, and some had a unique light yellow color.

In the quiet cave, there are only a few people's quiet breathing and light footsteps, giving people the feeling that they are just a group of friends who are traveling together at this moment, rather than a group of people struggling to survive in the last days.

There is only a short staircase from the passage into the cave, and you can go down the stairs after a few steps. In front of you is a winding road, which seems to have been mined for viewing. Zhou Jingge and the others simply walked along the road.

"It's full of stalactites, and it's still very wet. Do we want to stay here?" Qu Ming looked up at Zhou Jingge, with love for this place on his face, and some doubts in his eyes. After all, the places we can see are very small, and even How can one live without a flat place?
Zhou Jingge stood at the same spot and illuminated the surrounding environment, "Let's take the excavated road and go all the way deep. There should be an underground river in such a cave, right?" She was looking at Yu Xiao when she spoke.

Yu Xiao's attention has always been on her, and when she saw her look over, he focused on listening to her, "There should be some, but there should be a lot of cave animals in the cave, we'd better be careful."

Song Lili looked at Yu Xiao with the eyes of a scumbag adoring a schoolmaster, feeling very emotional, looking at Yu Yi beside him, and shining a flashlight on her face, "Can you tell me, is there anything else your brother doesn't know? ?”

Yu Fok rubbed his forehead helplessly, and replied softly: "Can you stop looking at me with that hopeless look?" He said, hugging Song Lili lightly and whispering in her ear: "With him around, I don't need to know What’s the matter, I just know I love you.”

Such a quiet environment, still surrounded by stalactites, and only the two of them were talking, and the nasty words circled around the cave for a few times before stopping.

The rest of the people sighed in unison, and Yu Xiao shone a flashlight on the two of them, "You two, I'm still alive, although you seem to be praising me, but this tactful show of affection is a bit offending to everyone?!"

Zhou Jingge smiled sullenly and waved his hand, "Please continue, I don't really care." He shined the flashlight into the distance.

Yu Xiao was dismantled by her in public, depressed and patted the top of her head vigorously, looked at her flatteringly and smiled before letting her go.

Su Qi kept watching the interaction between these two people, took a step forward and took Zhou Jingge's hand and continued to move forward, "Just keep walking. Always find a suitable place."

Yu Xiao turned around and followed them, glaring at Yu Yun and Song Lili who winked at him.

"Jing Ge, if there is a suitable place, do we want to live here? Will it be too dark?" Liu Xinxi looked at the surrounding environment with doubts.

"I think we probably won't be staying here for long, just waiting here." Su Qi's answer came from the front.

"What are you waiting for?" Wang Ye was completely confused.

Zhou Jingge replied softly: "Wait and see if someone will continue to catch up. We must find out whether someone is watching us. If possible, we'd better find out how to watch us."

Qu Ming sighed regretfully, "You can't live here forever. I like it very much. There are no zombies or mutated animals and plants. How nice it is."

Zhou Jingge pinched his little face, "It's too humid here, I'm afraid it won't work for a long time."

Qu Ming nodded honestly and leaned closer to her, "Then let's rest here for a while and then find a more beautiful home."

"Yeah. We'll find a more beautiful home!" Zhou Jingge let go of Su Qi's hand, changed his hand to hold the flashlight, and put his arm around Qu Ming's shoulder, "Be careful where you step."

The group of people walked to the end of the road that was mined for tourism. In front of them was a dark cave entrance with a sign saying "Tourists Stopped."

Zhou Jingge shone the flashlight into it, and there were stalactites inside, nothing else could be seen, and no shadows flashed past. It didn't look like there were animals haunting it.

Su Qi touched the entrance of the cave and said, "It feels like there's a lot of water vapor inside. There should be an underground river if you go in."

Zhou Jingge nodded, and pushed Qu Ming beside Su Qi, "I'll open the way ahead, look ahead, and you look left, right, and behind. Be careful, after all, I don't know if there is anything dangerous inside."

The rest of the people nodded in unison, moved closer to each other, shined their flashlights in different directions, and carefully examined the surrounding environment.

Stepping into this passage, the inside is much more twists and turns, and there are no more stairs that need to be climbed up and down as before, and occasionally there are small slopes that need to be slid a few steps to move down.

Going deep into the cave, there are only occasional slopes that need to go down, as if they are walking all the way to the center of the earth, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the water vapor is particularly heavy. Although it is very humid, it still has a unique smell in the cave. , but it makes people feel that every breath is very refreshing.

Along the way, Zhou Jingge didn't find any animals. The further he walked, the more slippery he felt. He shone a bright flashlight forward, and there was indeed an underground river not far ahead.

I don't know if it was because of the earthquake, or it was just like this. The surface of the river doesn't seem to be flowing, but quietly reflects the light. The flashlight shines on it, and the depth cannot be seen.

"There really is an underground river, and you know that?" Song Lili looked at the underground river and poked Yu Xiao standing in front of her.

Yu Xiao didn't answer her, but moved away slightly to avoid being stabbed in the side with her fingers again. He looked in the direction of the underground river, shone his flashlight over, and looked carefully, frowning slightly, as if he was wondering about something.

Zhou Jingge turned to look at him who was quiet, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"If there is a river, there should be creatures. It is impossible to have nothing." Yu Xiao was still observing the underground river seriously.

After listening to Yu Xiao's words, Su Qi nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand in the direction of the river, and smashed several water balloons, causing ripples on the river.

Sure enough, under the light, in addition to ripple circles, long swimming traces suddenly appeared on the river, as if there were huge creatures under the river.

"There's something underwater!" Su Qi finished softly, and took a few steps back protecting Qu Ming, the flashlight in his hand kept shining on the river.
