apocalyptic cave life

There is also a history of this several-ton tattered mountain: Although Zhang Shu’s uncle has not been laid off, but only a few hundred yuan a month, he is responsible for watching the cave. There are two basketball courts outside the cave. No one at all.

A junk picker came to ask, his uncle was very smart about small businesses, so he rented this vacant land to others for one hundred yuan a month.

After more than half a year, the pile was like this, and the factory found it and ordered his uncle to dispose of it.

When the trash collector heard that the factory leader asked them to pay for a car to dig out the trash, at least a few thousand yuan for the rental fee, they would just pack up and leave, and the trash would be gone, so his uncle had to buy a tricycle and commute every day Tow a car out and pour it.

The most tragic thing is that his uncle has been working for a year and has not found a vacancy. The provincial construction workers found such a good place to throw garbage, sneaking around for broken sofas, rotten wardrobes, plastic basins, clothes rails, spittoon jars... ...All thrown here, after a few years, not less but more...

Those who didn't know thought that Zhang Shu's uncle changed his career to collect trash.

The leaders of the factory have all changed, and they probably don't like the caves that they valued so much in the past, so they don't ask to deal with this pile of garbage anymore.

If you look outside, it's just a garbage dump, with super concealment!

Enduring the strange smell, he walked through the yard, the iron gate welded by steel bars inside was in good order, Zhang Shu touched the key on the door of the small house next to the entrance, and opened the iron gate with a bunch of keys.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, this cave is similar to the caves made by those who grow shiitake mushrooms. There is no pavement, dirt tunnels, and potholes on the walls. It doesn't look very deep, which is very common.

In fact, when I walked in, I realized that the distance was only a dozen meters, but in fact it was more than [-] meters away. It seemed unremarkable. In fact, many things I did in the past were done more seriously than now. Here, the light refracted by the earth and rock walls is used. It caused a visual gap, and from the entrance of the cave, it was just a recessed bottom. After turning around, the cave turned around, and there was another iron gate inside.

The deeper you go, the wider the hole, and the higher the top.

Xie Gaowen waited for Zhang Shu to open the second door, then he stretched his neck to look at the roof inside. It was pitch black, unlike the outside where the roof was deliberately made visible. When he got here, he took the fire ladder up from the wall inside the door. Hidden in the darkness, and the place directly opposite turned again.

Xie Gaowen couldn't help it anymore: "What is your factory doing with this hole?"

Zhang Shu wanted to make himself feel better, jokingly said: "In short, it is not used to imprison revolutionary comrades."

Xie Gaowen laughed.

After entering this door, Xie Gaowen just said, "You should come in with a flashlight."

Zhang Shu walked in along the wall in the dark, and Xie Gaowen heard the sound of closing the gate, and the light bulb on the roof of the cave inside the bang sounded, and Xie Gaowen was speechless.

A small railway track more than half a meter wide is laid in the center of the ground. Apart from the gravel on both sides of the railway track, there are cement tile pavements that were commonly used in the past, as well as fire hydrants and sewer outlets for drainage. The light box billboard is almost like a subway station in the city.

The fire ladder extends to another floor that is more than two meters higher than the outer pit. Many pipes are on the top of the upper floor, fixed in rows, and there are several doors. It seems that the upper floor has many Rooms with different functions.

Just standing there and looking in, there is a light every ten meters. This straight road extends into the mountainside. There are countless lights, so that even if the other end is illuminated, you can’t see clearly. .

The map is on one side of the wall, there are seven side roads, and the deepest main road enters the mountainside for seven kilometers.

It's not finished yet, but it's already pretty good.

Xie Gaowen had never seen such a "hole" before, he was so frightened that he fell silent.

Zhang Shu stood at the door of a hut only a few meters away from the iron gate. In front of him was a tall iron box with all electric gates inside.

"There is an office area inside and a building has been built, but it is too deep to go in. It takes several kilometers to get there. There are railway tracks but no trains. We will live here temporarily. The two iron gates are safe enough. Just click outside. What do you say?"

Xie Gaowen looked at the depths of the tunnel without blinking, and kept nodding without any opinion.

Artificial lighting can never compare with the brilliance of the sun. I am used to living under the sun. When I first entered this kind of cave in the middle of the mountain, I felt strange and depressing.

Zhang Shu drilled into the generator room and saw that there were two diesel barrels, but there was only half a barrel of diesel oil left. He had no choice but to turn off all the lights in the cave, leaving only a light bulb on the iron door, which could illuminate Less than ten meters.

The two of them hadn't eaten anything from morning to night, and they were so tired that they had to cook first.

When Xie Gaowen heard that there was not much diesel left, he refused to let Zhang Shu use the electric stove, so he went outside to pick up some bricks to build a simple stove, got a few pieces of wood and lit it to cook.

Zhang Shu couldn't help and was pushed aside.

The sun had already set outside, and the sky was getting dark little by little. The temperature in the cave dropped rapidly. Zhang Shu, who was wearing only a T-shirt and getting cold, suddenly remembered that he didn’t take anything for sleeping. He went to the small house outside the cave. I brought in a stack of old newspapers, and found a radio with batteries. I just pulled the antenna to the longest position, but still couldn't receive any sound except noise.

As soon as it got dark, an unknown sound came from outside. It sounded like a cry, but it had no reason. The forest area was several kilometers away from here, and wild animals would not come out. Maybe it was the sound of the wind. Sit in the cave and listen It's not very clear.

Zhang Shu thought for a while, but it was better to be careful, and locked the first iron gate with an iron chain, went in and sat by the fire.

When I was in the hospital, I was so frightened that I even brought out the bag of medicine.

Zhang Shu dug out gauze and iodine wine inside, wanted to see what was going on with the waist, touched it with his fingers, and suddenly a sentence came out of his mind: —— Can you feel me?

There was no sound, no words, it was inexplicable, as if someone was asking this question in the ear, but there was really no sound in the ear.

Zhang Shu looked around, only Xie Gaowen was squatting by the water pipe, washing rice.

Where is the sound coming from?No, where did the idea jump out?

Zhang Shu thought it came out of his own head.

As a result, as soon as the finger touched the burning and painful skin, it came again:

——No spiritual consciousness?

Zhang Shu let go of his finger, nothing was there, and he touched it again:

— Speak if you are not stupid!

(say what?)

—A rhetorical question?You will ask?

Zhang Shu let go of his fingers and looked sideways. No matter how wide his round eyes were, he couldn't see that there was an "alien creature" crawling on his body.

This……

Scared out of your mind?Hallucinations?Hallucination?

Zhang Shu decided to ignore the injury, and asked Xie Gaowen: "Old Xie, have you ever seen someone with a disease?" Are auditory hallucinations a sign?

Xie Gaowen was taken aback, then nodded, and pouring rice into a soup bowl, he said: "I work as a doorman in a garment factory, and the first person who got sick in the factory was the driver who was pulling the goods. He said that he was driving a car outside. When I was bitten by a neuropathy..."

Zhang Shu asked anxiously: "Bite?"

"Well," Xie Gaowen said after affirming, "I still had tooth marks on my arm, and I developed a fever with a fever of more than 40 degrees. I was going to be sent to the hospital, but after calling 120, the ambulance didn't come, and the police car came. The factory gate is blocked, and only those who have no contact with him are allowed to go out. The driver fell when he got out of the car, and I helped him up, so I am not allowed to leave, the police said! Wait until the hospital can send someone , we have been checked before we can be released, and let us lock that driver in a room alone."

Zhang Shu could imagine what kind of situation it was, but he was not sure about one thing, after losing his sanity, would he be alive or dead?

Xie Gaowen said: "During the day, it looks fine, and you can get up and walk with a high fever, and walk all over the house. At night, it's about the same time as this time. When you hear a little noise, you rush to the door with great strength. But when we close the door of his room and open it inward, he can’t pull the doorknob, he can only hit it, and hit it all night..."

After a while of silence, he said, "Bleeding from under the crack of the door."

Zhang Shu didn't make a sound, Xie Gaowen said comfortingly: "You just met, right? It's fine if you only touch it, I've touched it before, it's not good."

The waist was hurting intermittently, and Zhang Shu didn't dare to tell Xie Gaowen that he had such an inexplicable injury. Fortunately, although the pain was severe, the wound didn't bleed much, and it didn't seep through the clothes, so it couldn't be seen.

After a while, Zhang Shu asked, "Can you run?"

Xie Gaowen steamed the rice, rubbed the soaked kelp and said, "I can't run fast, and I bite people when I catch them. But I don't see many people, just a few. I think I get very sick at night."

Zhang Shu felt very lucky that it was not dark when he went to the hospital, otherwise, Dr. Zhang would probably have bitten him.

But when he thought of his waist injury, he still couldn't help worrying about whether he would become a living dead when the sun came out tomorrow.

Xie Gaowen cooked kelp soup and fried tofu skin, it was very simple and boring, but because it was hot, Zhang Shu ate two bowls.

Xie Gaowen thought that the place belonged to Zhang Shu, and the food belonged to Zhang Shu, so he refused to let Zhang Shu help, and insisted that he wash the pots and bowls alone.

Xie Gaowen set up a simple earthen stove outside the second iron gate. Unlike the outermost gate, which is welded with steel bars, it is like a fence.This one is a sliding door, the steel plate is several centimeters thick, and the pulleys are in the grooves, so once it is closed, a mouse cannot get through.

Zhang Shu used to come to play often, but he spent the night here... It was beyond the lighting range of the light bulb, and it was so dark that it made people feel frightened, and he had to find a smaller room to sleep.

Zhang Shu climbed up the fire escape and looked from room to room. There were doors, but all the doors were unfinished except for one. There was a dirt hole inside the door, which was very damp.

The finished room has a concrete wall, but there is a big round hole in the wall, it is not clear where it leads, it is quite deep.
