Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Fan Yong's reason for going down was very simple. On the one hand, he showed a resolute attitude to save people, and on the other hand, he said that he had no rock climbing experience. He also repeatedly and tactfully said that the person who took the lead should be a person with special abilities. After all, people with special abilities have higher physical strength than ordinary people.

It was obvious that this person was playing tricks, but there was no way to refute him at this moment, and Chen Yanxi and others really wanted to enter the cave.

Qin Cong quickly handed the rope to Chen Yanxi, "Mr. Chen, here is the rope." His attitude was flattering but with a hint of temptation, and his smile was a bit hypocritical.

Chen Yanxi didn't take the rope, so Qin Cong just stood there holding the rope for a full minute or two, until Chen Yanxi took a long step...

Amid everyone's exclamations, he leaped forward and disappeared into the black hole like a black afterimage.

Yan Fan also quickly used his special powers, and almost twenty ice cones hit the rock wall below. He snatched the rope from Qin Cong's hand, used the ice cones hit into the rock wall as a step, and entered the black hole as agilely as a cheetah.

There were bursts of exclamations from above. Gu Tongwan shook his head and made sure that Yan Fan had successfully entered the cave before retrieving the rope and carefully tying a safety rope to Liao Yunyun.

"You go down first. Yan Fan and Chen Yanxi will be supporting you below. Just slide down little by little. It shouldn't be a big deal even if you lose gravity and fall down. Trust them." In fact, this was what Chen Yanxi said to her at the beginning. Even if she jumped down with her eyes closed, he would catch her below.

Liao Yunyun showed a bitter smile on her face. She could only hold on to the safety rope tied around her waist and then slide down little by little. The whole process lasted about seven or eight minutes before she finally descended to the ground with great effort.

While Liao Yunyun was going down, Fan Yong also tried to descend using another rope nearby. Although they were all laymen, fortunately the men who came out this time were all very strong. Even Qin Cong, who looked like a skinny guy, had unexpectedly great endurance. He was the first to volunteer to go down, followed by Qin Cong's friends. Fan Yong, as the organizer, could only follow behind.

However, there are naturally some who are timid, especially Qin Si, who had average physical strength to begin with, and followed here purely out of curiosity. She cried the whole time she went down. From time to time, bursts of Qin Si's ghostly howls could be heard from the black hole. After finally sending her to the bottom, she collapsed on Qin Cong, all her strength and soul drained away. Qin Cong could only temporarily help her sit on the ground and wait for Fan Yong to come down.

Fan Yong and Gu Tongwan should have come down at the same time. Originally, Fan Yong was planning to show his manliness and gentlemanly demeanor. With an ulterior motive smile on his face, he was about to volunteer to help. However, he saw the beautiful woman opposite him skillfully fastening a safety rope around her waist and whistling. Immediately, two of the dogs squatted on the left and right of the black hole. Occasionally, when they made eye contact with Fan Yong, they showed fierce eyes of wild beasts, which scared Fan Yong so much that he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

These two beasts are really damn protective of their master. If both of them were there, he would have started a conversation with them a long time ago. He didn't expect that the two beasts had high IQs. Sometimes Fan Yong even felt that they could see through his intentions.

Gu Tongwan had often climbed up and down the ruins when she was in Haishikongcheng a few years ago. Even though her climbing posture was not very professional, she at least knew how to use her strength better than most people, especially how to place her hands. She followed the ice spikes that Yan Fan had driven into the rock wall before, while carefully lowering the rope around her waist and letting her body slide down little by little.

As soon as she entered the cave, Gu Tongwan felt gusts of biting cold wind blowing out of the cave. This cold was different from the simple cold of the blizzard outside. This cold was the kind that slowly penetrated into her bones. She shivered as soon as she entered, and then she felt her body temperature dropping rapidly, so she could only grit her teeth and speed up the descent.

The air in the cave didn't smell good either. In addition to the smell of mud, there was also an indescribable strange smell, similar to the smell of decay. The smell was vague, and although it didn't make people feel suffocated, it always made people feel uncomfortable.

Gu Tongwan glanced down and saw several white lights. They should be the ones that Chen Yanxi and his group had gone down first. Since he could see the lights, it meant that they were not many meters away from the bottom.

From overhead, one could see Fan Yong also coming down, but he was moving a little slower. Although Fan Yong had good stamina and agility, he lacked experience after all, so he was not as fast as Gu Tongwan in descending. He could only try to climb the nearby protruding rock wall bit by bit.

It took nearly twenty minutes for everyone to come down. During this time, Gu Tongwan and others prepared tools that would be used in the cave, including head-mounted lights, flashlights, ropes, multi-functional military knives, windproof lighters, etc. The food in the backpacks could last for a day and a half, but the four of them did not plan to stay in the cave for too long. This time their main goal was to find the nest of the snow ape mutants. If they could successfully kill the few females and reduce the reproduction rate of the snow ape mutants, then their mission this time would be accomplished.

"It is said that some mutant beasts above level A can also use psychic powers. The mutated Saker Falcon and the Bat Queen seemed to have used similar powers at the last hunting meet. The average level of the snow ape mutants this time is above B. According to your previous encounters, there may be individuals above level A or even level S. Will they also be able to use psychic powers?" Gu Tongwan looked up at Chen Yanxi, who was at least a head taller than her. Originally, she was considered to be of standard height among girls, but every time she stood next to him, she looked particularly petite. Even Liao Yunyun occasionally joked that having such a tall boyfriend would make her feel very safe.

"That's true, but the snow ape mutants are social animals. Judging from their habits, this mutant has the characteristics of both snow apes and mutants. It should be a mutant creature that combines the two. The mutants themselves are matriarchal, which means that the male snow ape mutants we have encountered so far do not have command authority. S-level ones are basically concentrated in female snow ape mutants. The female snow ape mutants that have appeared now may be the product of the female mutants that were dormant in the caves below and the snow apes."

Chen Yanxi's voice has a mysterious power that makes people feel at ease in the darkness. At least when you are with this man, you will inexplicably feel that he has the ability to protect you even if you are in danger at this moment.

Liao Yunyun next to her had just arranged the lighting and was holding a multifunctional dagger in her hand. As for the pistol, she hid it on the side of her calf. She would not waste her bullets easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

Fan Yong was the last one to come down. Just as he stood firmly but had not yet time to untie the ropes on his body, he felt a gust of air sweeping over his head. Before he could react, he found a huge monster standing in front of him. He was so scared that he took several steps back.

Aoao jumped into the cave from the entrance. Although Aoao and Tutu are canine mutants, their powerful jumping ability allows them to use the rock walls on both sides to slide down like jumping. Their sharp claws that can be unfolded in an instant can also pierce into the rock wall, reducing the feeling of weightlessness when sliding down to a certain extent.

In the last three or four meters, Aoao jumped down directly, so Fan Yong felt that there was something covering his head, because it took him six or seven minutes to come down, but Aoao took less than a minute.

"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Qin Cong saw that Fan Yong was unsteady and hurried forward to show concern.

Fan Yong shook his head and looked at Qin Si who was listless and asked with a frown: "Your sister isn't feeling well, why don't you just send her upstairs." After all, Qin Si didn't know about their plan yet, and the risk of the energy stone being leaked out would be relatively smaller if one less person knew about it.

When Qin Si on the opposite side heard that he would be tormented again, he was almost scared to death when he came down just now. If he went up again now, he was afraid that he would have another heart attack, so he refused to go up again no matter what.

"I won't go up, Fan Yong, I'm telling you, I'm not that fragile, if you want to go up, go ahead yourself." Qin Si usually spoke softly, but in fact, when she got angry, Qin Cong would avoid her. Although Fan Yong was angry, he didn't dare to get angry in front of her, so he could only nod and said in a muffled voice: "Then you should be careful, we don't know what the situation will be after you go in, and we may not be able to take care of you, just follow me and Qin Cong closely."

"Nonsense, do I need you to tell me this? I must follow you and Qin Cong, otherwise I won't know where to go if I get lost." Qin Si still had time to tidy up his appearance at this time, and even glanced at Chen Yanxi. Especially when comparing between Fan Yong and Chen Yanxi, he felt more and more that the others were better.

A total of twelve people went down into the cave. In front of the cave was a corridor about one meter wide, which could only accommodate two people walking side by side at the same time. The corridor seemed to have no end and it looked pitch black. The more you looked at it, the more creepy you felt.

Chen Yanxi and Gu Tongwan walked in the front, followed by Yan Fan and Liao Yunyun. The two dogs had already run away, but Tutu would occasionally come back. Even though they were playful by nature, they could still use their special abilities to keenly perceive traces of other creatures living in the cave.

"Light the torches." Fan Yong said to Qin Cong and the other man.

Qin Cong immediately took out the torch he had made in advance, and took some diesel from his backpack and poured it on it. In this way, a simple torch was made.

However, because torches are made of wood, they cannot burn for too long, and can only last for an hour at most.

In fact, Fan Yong and his group did not lack flashlights. It was just that before they came down, they heard that there might be mutant animals in the cave. These mutant animals living in the cave generally like darkness and are afraid of fire. So Fan Yong specially brought a bottle of diesel and some rags before leaving, so that he could make simple torches at any time.

Before leaving, everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky. This was the only chance to see the sky after entering the cave.

The corridor was very long and the area was very narrow, even narrower than the places they had passed through before. When two people walked side by side, they would even rub each other's shoulders.

Chen Yanxi was not wearing a helmet-mounted flashlight, but his dynamic vision was different from that of ordinary people. He could clearly see all moving objects even at night.

Fan Yong and others followed closely, not too far from each other. In fact, Fan Yong and others knew very well that there were many potential threats in the cave, otherwise A and B would not have disappeared in the cave. However, the ambition and greed to become a superpower made Fan Yong willing to take the risk to enter the cave to look for energy stones. Only by obtaining energy stones can he have the chance to make potions that can stimulate the body's potential.

"Do you think A and C are really dead? We have been walking for several minutes now, and we don't know where the road ahead leads to. Why do I feel more and more uneasy as I walk?" Someone in the crowd complained in a low voice.

"How could they still be alive? Didn't you see blood all over the rope when you came down? If the two of them died from the fall, their bodies wouldn't be missing, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? A and C must have gone deep into the cave. The blood stain on the rope is not a fatal injury at all. Maybe it was just an accidental stain from a scrape. Besides, wasn't the underground cave open to the public for a period of time before? If there is really something inside, can it be opened to the public? What's more, we have two psychics following us now. If something really happens, won't they be there to support us?" Another brave man expressed his opinion nonchalantly.

Although everyone had different ideas in their minds, it was indeed impossible to become cheerful in such an environment. In particular, the further we went in, the more we felt that the corridor was unexpectedly narrow and long. We walked for nearly twenty minutes and it was always a one-way street.

But just when everyone thought that they would never reach the end, three or four forked corridors finally appeared in front of them, and each of them looked dark without any light, more like a monster with its mouth wide open.

Fan Yong glanced at Qin Cong who was holding the energy detection instrument, and saw the latter making a "two" gesture. Fan Yong turned his head and said to Chen Yanxi in front of him, "Mr. Chen, there are so many passages now, which one should we enter?"

"The third one." Chen Yanxi spoke without any hesitation.

Qin Cong interrupted at the right time: "But there are three corridors in total. I think we can act separately for the time being, so that we can be more efficient."
