"Wow, your face..."
Yunfan also saw Qiao Xingyang's face and immediately gloated, "Tsk tsk, he's obviously done too many bad things and got beaten up!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Xingyang straightened his back as he tried to stand up straight. "I wasn't beaten, I was... I—"
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing looked at him at the same time, their eyes filled with mockery.
Qiao Xingyang's straight back slumped again, and the words "I hit myself" stuck in his throat.
"Why did you stop talking?"
Yunfan snorted, "He was clearly the one who got beaten, but he's still being stubborn."
"you!"
Qiao Xingyang jumped to his feet.
"Alright," Shen Nanxing interrupted their bickering, "Let's go into the cave and treat the wounds first."
As soon as Shen Nanxing spoke, the two immediately fell silent.
After entering the cave, Shen Nanxing helped the two treat their wounds and apply medicine, while Jiang Nian'an helped them get something to eat.
"Brother Chen, how come you and An'an are with Qiao Xingyang?"
Yunhua glanced out of the cave, a look of confusion in her eyes, and asked in a voice that only the four of them could hear.
"We ran into him by chance. Not only him, but also Shen Nanchuan and Qiao Huaxi were down here."
"What!"
Yunfan exclaimed in surprise, then quickly lowered his voice, "How could they be down here?"
Shen Nanxing's eyes were full of sarcasm. "According to Qiao Huaxi, at the very beginning of the apocalypse, Shen Nanchuan brought people out under the pretext of looking for me."
After saying that, he twirled the dagger in his hand and sliced off a piece of rotten flesh from Yunhua's shoulder.
Yunhua groaned, and after the excruciating pain subsided, she continued, "But how did they find this place?"
Shen Nanxing gently shook his head.
"I don't know. Maybe it was the phone call I made home while I still had a signal that let Shen Nanchuan know I was still alive, so he came looking for me."
Then, like us, they were swept down by that unknown fissure in the earth.
"Now?"
Out of concern for Qiao Xingyang outside, Yun Hua simply raised her hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Um."
Shen Nanxing didn't say much. After bandaging his wound and disinfecting the dagger, he walked towards Yunfan.
This topic has been temporarily put to rest.
Yunfan had fewer injuries, and Shen Nanxing treated his wounds in no time.
Just then, the noodles that Jiang Nian'an had cooked for the two of them were ready.
Yunhua and Yunfan have barely eaten since they fell.
The two were either on their way to find Jiang Nian'an or fighting against mutated creatures, and had no time to eat.
I was really hungry at that moment, so I quickly picked up the noodles and started eating.
Jiang Nian'an also heated up the noodles that she and Shen Nanxing had left over.
For a moment, the only sound in the cave was chewing.
After dinner, Shen Nanxing removed the armrests of the sofa and pieced them together to make a bed for Jiang Nian'an.
He and Yunhua leaned against the stone wall, preparing to spend the night together.
Jiang Nian'an couldn't bear to see it, so she asked him to remove the sofa back as well.
With two backrests and armrests, they could barely make up a bed that could accommodate two people lying on their sides.
"You two go to sleep first. I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you two can take turns keeping watch for the second half."
Yunfan and Yunhua nodded, took the down jackets that Jiang Nian'an handed them and used them as blankets, making the most of their time to rest.
"Brother Chen, catch!"
Jiang Nian'an then tossed a long down jacket to Shen Nanxing.
The underground temperature is getting lower and lower, as if summer has skipped autumn and gone straight into the embrace of winter.
It dropped directly below 0°C.
Shen Nanxing took the down jacket, his warm gaze falling on Jiang Nian'an's face. "It's getting late, go to sleep. We'll find a way out first thing tomorrow morning."
"Find a way out?"
A look of confusion flashed in Jiang Nian'an's eyes, "We're not looking for that person anymore?"
Shen Nanxing knew she was referring to Shen Nanchuan. "We don't need to look for him; he'll come to us himself."
Shen Nanchuan dared not let him return to Beijing smoothly.
"Alright then, goodnight, Brother Chen."
Jiang Nian'an pulled her down jacket up and closed her eyes.
"good evening."
Shen Nanxing looked at Jiang Nian'an, who had fallen asleep in the blink of an eye, and a smile unconsciously crept into his eyes.
After the three of them fell asleep, Shen Nanxing quietly stood up and walked to the side of the Great King and Little Silver, who were sitting in front of the cave entrance.
The king and Xiao Yin opened their alert eyes, and only relaxed when they saw that it was Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing nudged the two of them, "You two go and stay by An'an's side."
He himself leaned against the cave entrance, warily watching his surroundings.
Nothing unusual happened until 2 a.m.
Shen Nanxing woke up Yunhua and Yunfan, asking them to stay up for another four hours.
'Hiss'
At 5:30 a.m., Yunhua had just taken a sip of water when he saw Xiaoyin and Dawang open their eyes and climb straight to the cave entrance.
Is something wrong?
Yunfan exchanged a glance with him, immediately picked up the flashlight beside him, and got up to walk to the cave entrance.
Looking around, he didn't find anything unusual, but he woke up Qiao Xingyang, who was sleeping on the air mattress.
"Yunfan, are you out of your mind?!"
Qiao Xingyang took out his watch and saw that it was still early, which made him annoyed.
"Shut up!"
Yunhua gestured for him to be quiet, then turned around and woke up Jiang Nian'an and the other person.
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an had just sat up when they heard cries for help coming from outside.
The two quickly got up and walked to the cave entrance.
"Help!"
"Is anyone there? Please help us!"
In just over ten seconds, more than a dozen people appeared at the right end of the stone path outside the cave, running towards them with all their might.
