Chapter 133 It’s all here
Ai Wanxin was caught off guard and her right hand hit the solid and heavy machine tool, and Ci Xing dropped her hand in pain.
As they fell, the excited roars of zombies could be heard in the empty space.
Ai Wanxin kicked her feet in the air, and there was a loud "crash". No one knew what was broken by her kick, and dust and wood chips immediately splashed everywhere.
In a flash of thought, Ci Xing returned to her palm again. A faint blue arc of light flashed in the darkness, and the zombies' teeth-grinding roars came to an abrupt end.
The zombie with its head chopped off and Ai Wanxin fell to the ground with a bang.
"Roar--" Another roar came towards him. Ai Wanxin had no time to get up. In the darkness, he followed the direction of the sound and kicked the zombie away.
Taowu and the little fox heard the noise and jumped down from the hole above their heads one after another.
Taowu roared angrily and bit the zombie's head to pieces.
The surrounding area became quiet.
A flame ignited in Ai Wanxin's palm, but the light only flashed for a moment before she extinguished it.
The little light just now was enough for her to see clearly that there was a whole row of steel cylinders stacked against the wall.
She was shocked and thought she was almost blown to the sky.
Ai Wanxin took out a high-power flashlight from the space and flipped on the switch.
Only then did I see clearly that these cylinders were black and were nitrogen cylinders, unlike the acetylene cylinders upstairs.
The crisis was resolved, and she turned her gaze to the basement where she had fallen.
The basement is 4 or 5 meters high and about 50 square meters in size.
In addition to the gas cylinders stacked against the wall, there were also some backpacks, tents and other items scattered around.
The head of the zombie she had just killed fell not far from her side with its eyes open, its white-covered eyes staring blankly in her direction.
Ai Wanxin noticed the zombie's sparse hair and looked a little solemn.
This seems to be the student of Academician Yang named Yuan Guang...
As for the one whose head was bitten by Taowu just now, he was fat and might be the student named Li Jiang...
No one knew who mutated and bit the other, or if they mutated together. In any case, the chances of survival for the others who took refuge with them in this narrow basement were very slim.
Ai Wanxin was still thinking, but Taowu didn't know who Yuan Guang was. It bit the zombie's head on the ground and put the crystal core into Ai Wanxin's hand.
Ai Wanxin patted its head approvingly, then stood up with her hands on the wall. However, she regretted it right after she patted its head.
I didn't know if the secretion on the wall was moss or mold, but when I touched it, my hands were covered with sticky mucus.
Ai Wanxin frowned, took out a towel from the space, wiped her hands, and then looked at the hole above her head again.
What she had just kicked to pieces was the wooden ladder to the basement, but it was not difficult for her to go up.
Only Yuan Guang and Li Jiang are here, but where is Academician Yang?
Now that we've found where they're hiding, let's get to the bottom of this first.
Ai Wanxin held a flashlight and walked to the corner where backpacks and tents were scattered, and suddenly found a broken skeleton among them.
It was probably eaten by two zombies, as there were still some uneaten pieces of meat and hair hanging on the skull.
Ai Wanxin took a pair of gloves from the space and put them on, then bent over and gathered the bones into a pile.
"Are these male bones or female bones?" she murmured to herself.
"Chirp--" the cry of the little fox came from the other end of the basement.
Ai Wanxin turned around, and under the illumination of the strong flashlight, there seemed to be a black hole in front of the little fox.
She walked over a few steps and saw a square passage as high as an adult's knee in the corner in front of the little fox.
When you bend down, you can feel a cold wind blowing out from it, which may lead to the outside world.
"Not really? Could they have crawled in here?" Ai Wanxin said with a bitter face.
But the basement is very small, and there is no one else except a skeleton and two zombies.
When she came in, the factory door was blocked from the inside and the windows were welded shut. If they wanted to escape, they could only go out through this passage.
A black shadow flashed, and Taowu was the first to go into the tunnel. The little fox chirped and followed closely behind.
Ai Wan followed them with a hopeless heart.
Who arranged for me to come to this mountain?
What a terrible guy!
I don't know if this passage was a ventilation pipe or a drainage pipe, but the walls were covered with wet mucus.
The tip of the little fox's furry tail was sweeping across Ai Wanxin's face at first, but soon it became wet with mucus and drooped down pitifully.
I don’t know how long I climbed, but gradually I began to hear the rumbling sound of water.
Suddenly, Taowu let out a relieved roar, and Ai Wan's eyes lit up. The little fox's tail finally disappeared from her sight.
The beam of the high-intensity flashlight shot out directly from the hole in front of it and fell into a deep and wide space.
Ai Wanxin climbed forward two more steps and looked out from the entrance of the corridor. What came into view was a huge cave and a splashing waterfall.
The waterfall falls into the deep pool at the bottom of the cave, and the splashing water vapor hits your face.
The entrance to the tunnel is on the mountain wall opposite the waterfall. There is no place to climb around it. I think it was indeed used for drainage rather than for people to walk.
Taowu and the little fox landed on a huge rock in the pond respectively.
Ai Wan hesitated for a moment, then jumped down from the entrance of the corridor.
Now that I'm here, she thought through gritted teeth.
After landing, Ai Wanxin took out a xenon lamp for outdoor lighting from the space and let Taowu hold it in its mouth and fly over the cave.
The originally dark cave suddenly became bright.
Ai Wanxin looked around and saw that in the direction where the water from the cave flowed out, there was an underground river of unknown depth, and there were no other exits.
There is only a narrow gap of one inch high above the waterfall, and people cannot get through it no matter what.
She released a rubber boat from the space with some joy.
This cost her, oh no, it cost Pei Junlin a lot of money, but in the end it was never used, what a pity.
Now is the right time to shine.
She jumped onto the rubber boat in two steps, and Taowu brought the xenon lamp back to the boat. The man and the two beasts slowly floated downstream along the underground river.
In the cave, there was no other sound except the gurgling sound of water.
Ai Wanxin carefully observed the cave walls on both sides of the underground river to avoid missing any possible clues.
Perhaps because we were getting closer to the surface, the thick roots of large trees and tangled vines gradually appeared on the walls of the cave.
Ai Wanxin began to feel hopeful, thinking that perhaps the remaining people had already escaped along the underground river.
On the vines not far ahead, a silver-gray translucent thing hung down like a silk ribbon.
The little fox flew into the air, nimbly picked up a piece and brought it back in front of her.
Ai Wanxin looked at the pearly-luster, diamond-patterned object in front of her, and the smile on her face slowly froze.
The boat under my feet suddenly swayed from side to side.
