Rebirth of natural disasters at the end of the world

Leaving a team of people in the camp to guard supplies and protect children and women, Liu Ning led other team members, held torches and flashlights to illuminate, climbed up to the entrance of the cave one after another, and walked to the end of the passage together, but unexpectedly discovered that there was a man with enough power inside. A cave two basketball courts wide.

Seeing three steps at their feet, everyone went up the steps and entered the cave.

With the faint light of torches and flashlights, everyone gradually adapted to the darkness, and the scene in the cave immediately became clear.

The walls of the cave have been covered with moss. In the middle of the ground, there is a circular fire pit dug by hand, about 2 meters in diameter. It is covered with thick, wet dust. There is also a large, tattered and rusty pit with no bottom. wok.

Directly opposite everyone, on the stone wall that is five or six meters high from the ground, almost to the top, there are three arched ventilation windows that were manually dug out, about 3 meter wide and about 1 meters high, and most of them were covered by weeds and vines. .

There were four artificially carved stone houses on the stone walls on their left and right sides. Liu Ning frowned slightly and carefully scanned the environment in the cave. Then he walked to the room closest to him on the left with a flashlight. Follow up quickly.

However, as soon as everyone approached, they heard the sound of running water coming from the room. They couldn't help but look at each other, and immediately filed in quickly, only to find that there was actually a button on the top of the room that led to the outside. The shape of the exit, however, is now also covered by dense vegetation, making it look a bit dark and scary.

Liu Ning handed the flashlight to someone else, then drew his knife and walked over to quickly clear the weeds. Turtle Dove and Wenjie quickly stepped forward to help. After a few minutes, the exit was cleared.

Through the dense grass in front of them, everyone faintly discovered that there was a trail in front of them that existed in the cracks of the mountain wall.

Wenjie stood over, opened his hands and roughly measured it, then turned to look at everyone and smacked his lips, "It must be more than two meters!"

Liu Ning nodded, "Clear the road first."

Everyone walked carefully while clearing the weeds on the road. They didn't go far when they discovered that the path extended downhill, about four to fifty meters in length, before becoming gentle.

At this time, the sound of water became clearer and clearer, and everyone was silently looking forward to it. The speed of clearing the road could not help but speed up a lot. After more than half an hour, they finally cleared the end of the road.

At this time, the sound of the water was deafening. Everyone looked for sound and suddenly became enlightened.

On top of the steep peak, a hundred-foot waterfall crashed down into a deep pool. The water waves hit the surrounding stone walls, splashed high, and then fell to the lower mountains.

Everyone came closer and saw that the water was flowing downwards, until it reached the foot of the mountain, forming a small stream hidden in the mountains, slowly flowing into the distance.

Everyone was so shocked that they could hardly speak and looked at each other.

"We found a great place!"

After a long time, Liu Ning found his voice. He looked at his companion excitedly, "Let's go back and check out the other rooms first."

"Okay, let's go!"

Everyone excitedly followed him and quickly returned. This time, because the trail was cleared, it was much easier to walk. Everyone returned to the cave in less than 10 minutes.

After they came out, they immediately entered the room that was more than twice as big as the one next to them. The noise was too loud, which alerted the swarms of rats and bats inside. Everyone was startled, and it took a long time to calm down.

Ikaruga couldn't help complaining, "Mud, we feel like we are on an adventure... Huh? Captain, what are those coverings?"

He pointed at a pile of things covered by weeds and sawdust. Looking at him, Liu Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I came in with you, how did I know what it was?"

"Uh!"

Ikaruga was choked by him and couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to shut up. He awkwardly stepped forward and used a dagger to pull off the oilcloth covering it. Wenjie and Lin Xiaoxi smiled and stepped forward to help.

The oilcloth was shattered into slag by the slightest touch, and the more than 40 badly rotted red-painted wooden boxes and more than 30 large vats as high as half a person underneath were instantly exposed.

Everyone was shocked again and hurriedly pried open the wooden box. They saw that it was full of oxidized black gold bars and jewelry. There were even several boxes of rat-bitten tickets and bundles of banknotes from the 70s and [-]s.

Everyone couldn't react, this, what kind of wealthy family hid so much property?

Brother Guan glanced at the big tanks, couldn't help but walked over, reached out and pushed open the stone lid on one of the tanks. However, as soon as he moved halfway, the stench of the sky hit his nostrils, making him almost vomit, and he quickly opened the lid. The lid was tightly closed, and then he covered his nose and looked at everyone, "It is probably from the food. There are no windows in this house. It was too long and the moisture returned, so it was broken."

Liu Ning nodded in agreement, "Ignore it for now, let's go check out the other two rooms."

As he spoke, he led everyone out of the room and went to one of the rooms on the right. This place was okay, at least there was a 60x60 cm breathable window, but the light was still very dark.

But it is not difficult to see that this is a place for people to live. There is a set of stone tables and chairs in the middle of the cave, and several stone beds are displayed in sequence against the wall. Each stone bed has a stone cabinet carved against the wall, with some shapes placed on it. There were various vases, pottery pots and porcelain bowls. An expert in the team picked them up and pondered them for a long time. He said they were antiques and were extremely valuable.

However, no one was very interested. Anyway, they couldn't sell it for money now, and it was too small to hold rice. The experts were speechless and laughed and called them rough.

There was nothing special about the room, so everyone didn’t look any further, but went to the last room. Unexpectedly, there was also a cave in this room. In the 20-square-meter room, there was a stone arch leading to other places. Everyone pushed it open, and a cold feeling came out. The energy immediately rushed out, causing everyone to tremble. Liu Ning stood in the front, looked inside with a flashlight, and saw long stone steps extending downward.

Feeling really confused, he turned around and looked at everyone behind him, "Go and take a look?"

Brother Guan spread his hands and said, "Let's go! It's come to this!"

"Fine!"

Liu Ning nodded. His curiosity drove him to take a step. Then he turned on the flashlight and carefully walked down the stone stairs. Everyone followed him. About three minutes later, they landed successfully.

Everyone looked at the larger cave in front of them, which also had an exit, and felt extremely excited.

The layout here is roughly the same as the cave above. There are five or six vents near the top of the mountain. There are three fire pits in the middle of the cave. Several casseroles placed on top have been broken into several pieces and fell into the pit.

There are more than a dozen rooms on the rock wall, which are much more spacious than those on the previous floor. Most of them are occupied by people. Only three of them contain some old-fashioned weapons from the 3s and 80s, as well as simple farming tools, hunting tools and the like. 40 large vats containing rotten grain.

Moreover, there is a reservoir on the left and right of the exit. On the top of the pond, there is a small hole for water to flow out, and the water can just drip into the pond.

However, the water outlet has not been cleaned for a long time and has been blocked. Everyone also started to clear the road from the entrance of the cave. After walking like this for about 20 minutes, a dense forest appeared in front of them.

Everyone continued walking into the dense forest, and cleared a path by the way. There were more of them, otherwise, how difficult would it be to clear the weeds that were as tall as one person?

It took more than two hours before they walked out of the woods. They walked forward for a few more minutes and found that there was a cliff in front of them. If they wanted to go elsewhere, they could only climb over the rolling hills on the left side of the woods.

Thinking that we were already here anyway, there was no point in walking, so we walked around the woods again, climbed up the hill on the left, and walked forward.

Lin Xiaoxi breathed heavily and raised his hands to wipe sweat, "Captain, the road here is too difficult!"

"It must be difficult to leave!"

Liu Ning smiled and looked forward, "Otherwise those gold jewelry would have been discovered long ago! There are basically no roads around here!"

Lin Xiaoxi nodded helplessly, "Okay!"

"Come on, let me help you!"

Wenjie felt distressed and stretched out his hand to hold him, walking forward with heavy steps, one step deeper and one step shallower. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly slipped while walking and almost fell down. He was speechless and felt helpless. He stretched out his hand angrily and knocked down the grass next to him, but inadvertently, he swept across the dense bones hidden inside.

He was so startled that he backed away repeatedly, almost hitting Wenjie and the people behind him. Ikaruga frowned and called him, "Lin Xiaoxi, why are you so surprised!?"

"Human, human bones!"

Lin Xiaoxi looked back at him with a pale face and pointed into the grass. Everyone's hearts tightened and they quickly walked over and quickly cleared away the surrounding weeds.

Seeing several human bones scattered inside, Liu Ning couldn't help but frowned, "Look again!"

Everyone understood, and they immediately centered here and spread out in all directions. Finally, within a one-mile radius, they discovered dozens of deep white bones half-buried on the ground, and firearms scattered nearby.

Everyone speculates that they should be the original owners of the cave from that era. In the 70s and [-]s, everyone knew what happened. The gold bars, jewelry, tickets, and banknotes in the cave fully indicate that these people should have fled here. They live in seclusion, but I don’t know if their deaths were caused by enemies chasing them or what caused them?

Liu Ningqing felt a little heavy and couldn't help but sigh, "Bury them all!"

Everyone was in the same complicated mood and didn't say anything. They just silently dug a big hole out of the way, put all the bones in, and buried them one by one with soil.

Then, the soil was compacted and a pile of stones was piled on top to look like a tomb. Then, everyone stood in a row and bowed solemnly three times before turning around and returning.

After encountering this incident, everyone no longer has the spirit of adventure.

Back at the camp, it was getting dark. Liu Ning told the team members who had just stayed behind what had happened, and then announced that everyone would clean up the inside and outside of the cave tomorrow, and they would live in it from now on.

Thinking about it, the cave was much more convenient and safer than the tent they lived in, and water was convenient. Everyone agreed with his proposal.

The next morning, everyone got up early. After breakfast, Liu Ning left 50 people to clean up the weeds around the camp, and 100 people to go to the mountains to cut trees for fuel and building materials.

The rest, a team followed him from up the mountain to all the air outlets outside the cave, as well as the two water outlets on the bottom floor, cleaning up all the mud, weeds and vines.

The other team went into the cave and was responsible for cleaning the inside and burning all the vats, boxes, and unwanted items.

Those large tanks were still intact, so everyone cleaned them all. After that, they moved 20 of them to the cave hall on the upper and lower floors and placed them against the wall. When the time comes, they can be used to store water, and the rest are still kept in the room. among.

As for those gold bars and jewelry, they must be kept. The end of the world is an era of material scarcity. Although materials are now the hard currency flow for transactions, gold jewelry can still effectively preserve their value. Maybe, when the world develops in the future, they will still rely on it. These objects come to life.

With the strength of many people, it only took them one day to clean the inside and outside of the cave. The air felt much fresher when standing inside.

However, after all, no one could live inside for a long time, so Liu Ning asked everyone to wait a few more days for the cave to be thoroughly ventilated and dry before moving in.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Liu Ning looked at Brother Guan who was asking the question and said with a smile, "Continue to build infrastructure!"

Brother Guan asked in confusion, "Isn't it already done?"

"No! There are so many of us. Although it's okay to live there, it's too dense and there's no privacy. We need to organize more accommodation!"

Liu Ning looked at him seriously, "Besides, why are there medical rooms, breeding farms, and other miscellaneous places that haven't been built yet!?"

He paused and then said, "There must be a checkpoint on the way up the mountain to the camp. Although the lower level leading to the woods is hidden, a door must be installed. Otherwise, if a dangerous animal or person suddenly breaks in, We didn't even have a chance to react.

Moreover, the road to the waterfall above must be paved, and a route can be used to divert water. If we rely on the pee-dropping spring at the bottom to collect water, the 1000 of us will probably die of panic, even if we come back and forth in winter. It is also not convenient to get water. "

"Captain, you are so considerate!"

Brother Guan nodded in agreement, "If we get these done, we can feel more at ease even if we go out to work later!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

Lin Xiaoxi stood up anxiously, "Hurry up, finish the work and start farming."

"Okay, let's start!"

Liu Ning looked at Wenjie with a smile and joked, "Your family is always so impatient!"

Wenjie laughed and nodded in agreement, "Yeah! It's quite urgent!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Xiaoxi meaningfully and laughed, leaving him speechless. He felt that these people were all crazy...

In the next two days, everyone went out 500 meters from the lower level to install a strong wooden fence more than 3 meters high, which required two people to push it open at the same time.

A fence was also installed at the junction of the road and the woods, and it was also planted with thorns. They did not plan to go to that place in the future, so it was better to block it.

At the exit of the cave, a stainless steel door brought from Qiu Han's base was installed. In this way, even if someone passed through the two levels, they would not be able to shake the door even if they blasted it with explosives.

As for the upper exit, the same door was also installed, but the fence was not installed. However, for the trail, they all used wood and steel pipes they brought to make dense and strong supports 4 meters above the mountain. The entire road from the cave entrance to the waterfall is blocked off, so that if rocks or snakes, insects, rats and ants fall from the mountain, it can be blocked.

Later, under the guidance of experts, everyone built two water trucks at the waterfall pool, and used the PC pipes they brought to guide the water to the first floor of the cave, and branched off to reach the camp outside the cave, connecting it to In two collective bathhouses.

In the past few days, everyone was so sweaty and dirty from working that it was inconvenient to take a bath, so they built a bathhouse first so that everyone could take a bath after working and feel more comfortable.

The location was chosen after everyone's careful consideration. Although bathing in the cave is warmer in winter, it will also increase the humidity inside. When the moisture returns, living in it will be very uncomfortable.

That's why they built the bathhouse outside. Anyway, this is a mountain col. Except for the entrance, there is almost no wind, and it won't be too cold to take a bath in winter.

After the fortifications were completed and the bathhouse was built, everyone felt at ease and worked harder.

Thinking that the camp only had about a hundred acres of land, everyone suddenly came up with the idea to dig out some of the mountains surrounding the col into caves and use them as medical rooms, research rooms, incubators, darkrooms and residences.
