As to why the people in City Z wanted to dig into this air-raid shelter and explore where it ended, it all came down to human curiosity.

It’s like when we were kids and came across a mysterious cave, even if we felt it was dangerous, we would still muster up the courage to go in and find out what was inside, and even hope that there would be a surprise at the end.

Although most of the time, it's frightening.

The 40-kilometer route from the cave entrance to the inside had already been explored by people from City Z.

Chen Ye walked while paying attention to the walls on both sides. On average, there was a large lounge every 10 kilometers, and after entering, there were some small compartments divided down, but there were no supplies inside, it was empty.

She was sure that this was the place she had stayed in her previous life. The layout and building materials were very similar. This was a civil air defense facility built in the old days. The corridor was not wide, and the walls were made of old bricks. Because they had been soaked in water before, they were covered with moss. When you touched it, it was all slippery and sticky like whip juice.

When they passed the second lounge, they stopped to rest. When Chen Ye looked into the small compartment inside, he found a thick iron door that was welded shut.

The soldier from City Z who brought her here said, “This door cannot be opened without explosives, but after using explosives, it may all collapse.”

Chen Ye nodded, then walked to another room and started knocking around with a crowbar.

There was a faint hollow sound, which, if not for her good hearing, she would not have heard at all, and would have thought it was just the humming of the solid wall.

Everyone was still in another cubicle, and no one followed her.

Chen Ye took off his backpack, stretched his shoulders, picked up the crowbar and gestured at the wall. Suddenly, he exerted force and inserted it straight into the gap between the bricks.

Everyone heard the noise and rushed over. They saw Chen Ye shaking the crowbar vigorously up and down, left and right, and after loosening the four sides of a brick at the bottom, he inserted the crowbar into the top of the brick, lifted it up with force, and pried the brick out.

The old construction was still solid, even after a long time. After Chen Ye pried out the brick, the remaining wall did not fall down as expected.

She could only pry out the two bricks on the left and right using the same method, and then smash the top brick down with a crowbar.

Sure enough, there was another brick wall behind it.

Qi Guotao stood aside, watching her tear a hole in the wall so neatly and quickly, and was so shocked that he wanted to slap himself twice.

They walked for no less than 4 hours, and the girl remained calm the entire time. Not only did she not slacken her pace, she even stopped here to rest out of sympathy for the group.

What do you mean the daughter of a rich family is weak and can't stand the wind? Sorry, he was wrong.

He should have known that even if He Fen would bow his head for supplies for the sake of the disaster-stricken people, how could the wolf Lian Yi submit to an ordinary person?

"Ms. Chen, what are you going to do? Let's do it."

"Remove the bricks."

She has a hard time tearing down this wall. They are all skinny and it’s unclear how long it will take to tear it down.

Qi Guotao had no choice but to ask two people to go forward and quickly clear away the bricks. He watched Chen Ye put down the water in his hand, walked to the gap with the crowbar in his hand, and suddenly thrust the crowbar into the gap between the bricks. Using the same method as before, he quickly demolished the wall behind.

A dark hole appeared behind the wall.

"Is there really another passage?" Several soldiers from City Z were standing at the entrance of the cave and looking inside.

Chen Ye went back and put on his backpack. He inserted the crowbar horizontally between the straps and walked in holding the flashlight.

As soon as she stepped in, Chen Ye's blood began to rush. She was too familiar with this place. This was where she had stayed with Chen Chen for a year in her previous life.

For a moment, the past kept appearing in her mind like a movie playing on a loop.

It was not until Qi Guotao came and touched her that she came back to her senses from her memories.

"Follow me."

Even though it was dark all year round, she knew this place well.

She brought them to the place where they found supplies in the previous life, which was not far from the cave entrance, only about 2 kilometers away.

Everyone was very excited. They didn't expect to find supplies in this place. It just looked like it had been there for many years.

Chen Ye said calmly: "Whoever of you needs it can move back."

After living a new life, before the end of the world, she did not deliberately look for this place. Firstly, she really did not remember the exact location, and secondly, she did not intend to take these things.

She and Chen Chen relied on this little bit of material to survive for another year. She had intended to leave it to someone who was not destined to die, but she didn't expect that after living another lifetime, it would return to her hands.

This was the place that was discovered by City Z. Qi Guotao felt embarrassed, so he asked two soldiers from City Z to stay behind and find a way to bring the supplies back, and then continued to move forward with Chen Ye.

The group walked for a long time. At the end, the people behind them stopped talking due to physical problems.

The time shown on the watch was already 8 o'clock in the morning.

When they reached the fourth large open lounge, they stopped to rest.

Everyone sat casually on the ground. The soldiers from City N took out water bottles and biscuits they had saved up at the Jinsha Base last night from their backpacks and shared them with the people from City Z.

At this time, there was probably no more compressed biscuits. No one was willing to take even half a piece of the small pile of supplies.

Chen Ye sighed lightly. Her backpack was still not big enough, and she couldn't produce so many boxed lunches. Lao Bai had stopped making self-heating military rations because of the hot weather.

His stuff can only be used in the cold season. Without preservatives, it will go bad in less than half a day in this kind of weather.

Chen Ye took out 7-8 compressed biscuits and 5-6 packages of instant noodles from his backpack, and also grabbed a handful of chocolate.

Qi Guotao was polite for a while, but finally accepted it and shared it with everyone.

Chen Ye really didn't want to eat compressed biscuits, it was like swallowing sawdust. In her previous life, she had licked this kind of place for a year. Now she had to eat this kind of thing here again. Was this fate inevitable?

Chen Ye still took out the self-heating hot pot and said to Qi Guotao and others calmly, "This is the only box." With this amount, she would not be full after eating four boxes normally. So even though she was cooking the hot pot, she still had to continue eating biscuits.

Qi Guotao certainly wouldn't say anything. In order to save some water, they even put the instant noodles away. Even though Chen Ye gave them a heating pack, it was useless.

Chen Ye ignored them and continued eating with his lunch box, soaking the biscuits in the soup.

The instant food packets gave off a very fragrant smell, tempting the soldiers to feel that the biscuits in their hands were more like sawdust.

It feels like someone is eating instant noodles in front of you. Instant noodles themselves are extremely unpalatable, but the various flavors and sauces in the soup packets, after being dissolved in boiling water, are very appetizing.

While they were eating, there was a sudden knocking sound, which seemed to come from a long distance.

The soldiers from City Z stopped and looked at Chen Ye. "That's the sound. We heard it last time we came in."

Chen Ye nodded, "Someone is smashing the wall." Seeing everyone's panicked faces, he said calmly, "Don't panic, stay far away. I'll go check it out after we finish eating."
