Chapter 315: Survivors in the Tomb
Once the entrance to the cave was blocked, it fell into darkness again. The wind and sand were instantly isolated outside, and even the sound became much quieter.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a flashlight from the space, adjusted the light to the dimmest, and then shone it inside.
The survivors in the village are most likely inside, and it’s not easy to alert them in the dim light.
When I shone the flashlight, I did find some things.
Although the stones can block the exit of the cave, they cannot stop the yellow sand from seeping in through the gaps between the stones.
So at the entrance of the cave, there was a thick layer of yellow sand piled on the ground, and there were many messy footprints on it.
Shi Jiaojiao bent down and took a look.
The footprints were relatively large, belonging to men, and judging from the footprints, there were quite a few people.
Wang Jia's eyes lit up: "They really are all hiding here!"
The footprints are so clear, they must have been left recently, or even today. After all, there is constant wind and sand outside. After a long time, there will always be one or two gusts of wind blowing in and blowing away the footprints on the yellow sand.
Tang Wei was also somewhat happy.
Although people seem to be less friendly and kind to each other since the end of the world, the occurrence of natural disasters seems to have released the evil beast that has been suppressed deep in the hearts of humans, and the sinister nature of human beings has been fully displayed.
But in this world, there are bad people and good people.
Especially after they moved out of Tiantai Community, they started living alone.
There is less fighting with the survivors, but sometimes loneliness will surge from the bottom of my heart.
It was as if there were only four of them left in the world.
Now if we can meet any survivors, we will still be happy.
After all, humans are social animals.
Mu Ci did not speak, but quietly explored inside.
After returning, he looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said, "No one has been found in the cave yet."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, turned off the flashlight, and returned to the space with the others.
Tang Wei didn't understand, but it didn't affect his pain of time passing, so he asked, "Why did we come back?"
Shi Jiaojiao didn't waste any time and quickly took out some clothes.
They were all quite worn out, with many holes from wear and tear.
As soon as Wang Jia saw the clothes, she understood Shi Jiaojiao's thoughts.
They still don’t know whether the person hiding in the ancient tomb is a human or a ghost.
It is better to be more cautious.
Shi Jiaojiao left her bedroom upstairs for the two of them, and she and Mu Ci went back to another bedroom to change clothes.
It took less than five minutes for all four of them to change and stand in the living room.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a few more bags of supplies. There weren't many things in them, just a few bottles of water, and most of the rest were whole-grain and vegetable cakes. The best thing was a few packs of compressed biscuits, and she didn't take anything else.
Even the aloe vera and cactus they ate as popsicles during the polar day were all hidden in the space and not intended to be taken out.
You know, these two plants are not available to ordinary survivors. They can only eat vegetable cakes or leaves distributed with relief food.
Because no matter how fast aloe vera and cactus grow, they still need water to survive, which ordinary survivors simply cannot afford.
The plants in their hands were specially obtained by Qin Jun using his own connections.
After everything was sorted out, Shi Jiaojiao had an idea and led everyone back to the dark cave.
Shi Jiaojiao squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and smeared it on her face and hands, and rubbed her clothes against the wall.
When they looked up again, the four people who were full of energy before instantly turned into living refugees.
But as long as you see the weapons they are holding tightly in their hands, you will know that they are not easy to mess with.
Mu Ci led the way, Tang Wei was the rear guard, and Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia were in the middle, walking forward together.
This time, they did not use flashlights and chose to move forward in the dark.
After all, electricity is an energy source that is not available to ordinary people, let alone a hand-cranked flashlight. If it is seen by others, what is the difference between that and them shouting "I am a fat sheep"?
Shi Jiaojiao followed Mu Ci and walked slowly forward. At the same time, she also looked at both sides of the cave.
This ancient tomb is not like other ancient tombs that have been developed for many years. It is even estimated that the development has not been fully completed due to the extreme heat.
The cave they were currently in was not very long and was extremely narrow, not even enough for two people to walk side by side.
From various traces, it can be seen that this cave was dug out by manpower in order not to destroy the ancient tomb. It may be that the archaeologists did not find the entrance to the tomb, or it may be that the entrance cannot be opened at all.
After walking for a few minutes, they reached a dead end. Mu Ci led the others and turned right along the cave.
After walking for a while, everyone found that the view ahead suddenly became wider.
Connected to the narrow cave is a corridor that exudes the gloomy atmosphere of a cemetery.
This corridor is much wider, and there are murals on the walls on both sides that have been deposited over the years.
But at this moment, everyone had no time to be curious, and their eyes were all staring forward.
A tomb chamber emitting faint firelight.
Shi Jiaojiao tightened her grip on the weapon, then followed Mu Ci and walked slowly forward.
They were able to prepare themselves mentally in advance because of the fire in the tomb, but there was no light in the corridor. The people in the tomb almost jumped in fright when they saw two men and two women suddenly appear from the darkness.
One woman even ran to a corner holding her head, still screaming, "Ghost! There is a ghost!"
It’s not the woman’s fault for being timid. The ancient tomb is simply eerie and mysterious, and four people suddenly appeared.
Who wouldn’t be scared after watching this?
Others were howling out of fear, their faces turning pale.
However, the panic in the tomb did not last long as it was stopped by a loud shout.
"Shut up!"
When Jiaojiao and the other three walked into the tomb, their faces illuminated by the firelight and long shadows were left behind them, the people in the tomb finally calmed down their fear.
But, there was a howling sandstorm outside and a desolate mountain and wilderness here. Where did these four people come from?
Shi Jiaojiao glanced at the situation in the tomb. There were five men and three women in total, all young and strong people in their thirties.
This group of people have gathered together. The man in the lead has a simple and honest face, and looks like a country man. However, a long scar on his face makes his appearance look fierce for no reason.
The man's face was full of vigilance, and he asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Judging from the sound, this man was the one who yelled at the others to shut up.
The other companions beside him had rejection in their eyes. Although they didn't say anything, they never let go of their weapons for a moment.
Shi Jiaojiao glanced at the weapons in their hands and raised her eyebrows.
After the end of the world begins, the weapons in the hands of the survivors can be said to be varied. Common ones include baseball bats, kitchen knives, hammers, wooden sticks, or various iron rods removed from various furniture.
But the people in front of him all held long knives and machetes in their hands, and the sharp blades were shining coldly.
If this kind of knife was available before the end of the world, you could still find channels to buy it, after all, there are still many knife enthusiasts.
But after the end of the world, a good weapon means a chance to survive. Not to mention that they had all been snatched away long ago, where did they find such weapons in this remote place?
Shi Jiaojiao raised a smile.
This is interesting.
