Chapter 362 Polar Night is Coming
After letting the mother and son leave, Shi Jiaojiao and the other three did not rush to check the escape route left by Li Liangxian.
Instead, he was busy dealing with the corpse first.
Anyway, things are dead, it doesn’t matter if they die early or late, they won’t grow legs and run away.
They were in a hurry to deal with the body not because they were afraid of leaving evidence behind. After all, the location here was very remote and there were no surveillance cameras as there used to be everywhere.
The main reason is the outside temperature.
The temperature is not low now. Although not as exaggerated as during the extremely hot polar day, it is no different from the dog days before the end of the world.
It would be too dangerous to let a body decompose slowly at these temperatures.
So the four of them decided to go all out and set a fire to burn the body completely.
They are serious about killing people, and they are also serious about epidemic prevention.
The remaining ashes were collected by Wang Jia, who planned to throw them into the toilet after returning to the base.
She had heard of a superstitious saying that if a person's ashes were scattered in a dirty place after death, the soul would never rest in peace.
Wang Jia always used to scoff at such things.
On the one hand, she didn't believe in these supernatural things at all. On the other hand, she felt that this method was too vicious, as it would not even let go of the soul after taking revenge.
But now, Wang Jia wishes this legend was true.
Li Liangxian deserved this fate.
After everything was done, the four of them came to the corner where Li Liang had spent half a day digging.
Now the iron plate has been completely exposed. Li Liangxian and the woman had been digging for a long time, but who could have thought that in the end it would benefit the four of them, and everyone could save some effort.
As for the lock on the iron plate, Shi Jiaojiao was not going to look for it on the corpse.
Such locks would be a hassle for others, but for her, they were no problem at all.
She had plenty of these lock-picking tools in her space, of all kinds and varieties, so there was no need to get the key.
Tang Wei took the pliers and clamped the lock. As he exerted force, the muscles in his arms bulged.
It took less than five seconds in total before the lock was broken.
Shi Jiaojiao stood aside with her arms folded across her chest.
To be honest, she had no hope for the supplies that Li Liangxian had hidden here.
Ordinary survivors have no way to preserve supplies for a long time, so the best food inside is some compressed biscuits or something like that.
However, since Li Liangxian prepared supplies for himself, would he also prepare some money?
After the padlock was broken, the four of them worked together to lift up the entire iron plate.
The entrance to the cave was pitch black, and when one spoke from above one could hear vague echoes coming from below.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a flashlight and shone it downwards.
The flashlight she took out was a powerful one with high brightness and long range, so it was easy to see what was below.
Shi Jiaojiao looked down through the beam of light, and through the dust floating in the air, she could vaguely see a lot of boxes stored inside.
Perhaps Li Liangxian also thought about the shelf life of food, so the cellar was dug particularly deep, and a faint chill could be felt at the entrance of the cave.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't plan to go down there herself.
It’s not that he was afraid of dirt or tiredness, but who knows who Li Liang found to dig the cellar first.
What if their skills are not good and they are buried alive as soon as they go down?
Shi Jiaojiao simply closed her eyes and reached down with her consciousness.
Sure enough, it is useful to exercise your awareness more.
Compared with the ancient tomb, the distance that can be used to retrieve objects with consciousness is now obviously much longer.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't plan to waste any more time, so she just emptied out everything in the basement at once.
In the end, even the iron plate was not spared, it was pried off and put into the space.
If you encounter any accidents in the future, just throw the iron plate out, and it will at least kill one or two people.
Moreover, if such a thick iron plate were to press down, it would definitely smash the head into the neck.
After finishing, Shi Jiaojiao used her consciousness to look at the pile of supplies stored in the space, but could not tell what was inside from the outside.
But now is not the time to pay attention to these things. There is still time to look at these supplies after we return.
The four of them packed up their things and hurried to the base.
After a busy afternoon, it's already past six o'clock.
The afterglow of the setting sun falls softly on everyone's shoulders like golden silk, as if covered with a layer of dreamy golden gauze.
It adds a bit of warmth and tranquility to the ruins that were originally desolate, dilapidated and lifeless.
The great revenge was achieved, and the huge rock that had been weighing on Wang Jia's heart was finally removed, and even the depression that had been faintly revealed between his brows dissipated a lot.
Shi Jiaojiao also suggested having a big meal after returning home, as Li Liangxian’s death was really worth celebrating.
In her previous life, she was single and faced dangers everywhere, so she lived cautiously and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
But in this life, she has friends and Mu Ci, and she is no longer tense all the time. At the same time, she also understands a truth, that the end of the world is so difficult, so she should enjoy herself while she can.
Even though the future is uncertain and the threat of death has not disappeared, at least I will not leave any regrets before I die.
The four of them walked out of the ruins, chatting and laughing, discussing the evening menu with each other.
The gentle sunshine and the soft breeze that brushes across your cheeks from time to time.
At this moment, everyone even had the illusion of returning to the time before the end of the world.
But things don't always go as we wish. The beauty before our eyes is like a balloon that is constantly inflating.
Getting bigger and bigger...
When the sky was the most beautiful and brilliant, there was a loud bang.
Exploded.
The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to react.
Shi Jiaojiao even wondered if the world she lived in was a huge game.
The world changes in a second.
Tang Wei was still struggling over whether to have braised chicken or spicy chicken for dinner. Before he could make up his mind, everything in front of him went dark.
This kind of black is different from the usual black at night.
It is truly pitch dark.
He blurted out: "Fuck, what's going on? Am I blind!?"
Wang Jia was also shocked by the huge change in front of him, and his hair stood up instantly, "It's getting dark."
Shi Jiaojiao stopped instantly the moment it got dark, and then she felt a warmth on her hands.
She knew that it was Mu Ci who caught her.
She closed her eyes tightly and opened them after a few seconds.
After my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, my vision became much clearer than before.
The sudden change before was so sudden that not only Tang Wei, but even she herself suspected that she was blind.
She looked up at the sky.
The sky, which was as beautiful as an oil painting just now, now seemed to have been suddenly formatted, and all the colors disappeared.
Only black was left, endless black.
There was not a single star, even the moon was blocked behind the clouds, with only a vague edge showing.
The little silver light that was left was completely absorbed by the boundless darkness.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, taking away the last bit of warmth that had just fallen on my body.
Shi Jiaojiao unconsciously tightened her grip on Mu Ci's hand.
The polar night is coming.
