When Chen Yu heard that this young man named Zhou Zhihao knew about a hot spring with a water outlet temperature of 120℃, he immediately became interested.
Although this is a bit of an exaggeration, since he is so certain, it must be at least 90 degrees Celsius, right?
Moreover, according to Zhou Zhihao, it is still an undeveloped hot spring.
Isn't this tailor-made for Chen Yu?
Seeing Chen Yu's strong reaction, Zhou Zhihao regretted his earlier outburst and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
“Take me there. If what you say is true, I’ll give you 5,000 yuan,” Chen Yu said.
"Are you serious?" Zhou Zhihao's eyes widened, clearly taken aback by Chen Yu's extravagance.
"How about this, I'll transfer you 1000 first, and I'll pay you the rest after it's done," Chen Yu said generously.
He then took out his phone and made a gesture as if he was going to pay Zhou Zhihao.
Zhou Zhihao didn't stand on ceremony and directly pulled up the QR code on his phone and handed it to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu quickly transferred the money.
He took Zhou Zhihao to his car and, under Zhou Zhihao's guidance, drove up a mountain behind the hot spring resort.
After driving about 7 or 8 kilometers, Chen Yu parked the car on the side of the road at Zhou Zhihao's suggestion.
The two of them each carried a backpack containing dry clothes.
After all, hot springs inevitably have a lot of steam, and the clothes I'm wearing will definitely get wet.
The two then walked into the nearby jungle.
As the two ventured deeper into the area, the path became increasingly difficult to traverse.
There was practically no road; it was just tree branches lying across both sides, requiring you to climb slopes and descend cliffs.
It is obvious that this is an area that no one has set foot in for many years.
In response, Chen Yu simply shielded his forehead with one hand and silently followed behind Zhou Zhihao.
The reason for covering his forehead with his hand was partly to prevent the branches from scratching his face.
On the other hand, it is also to ensure that one can retrieve defensive equipment from the other dimension at any time.
When they encountered places that required climbing cliffs, he would keep his distance from Zhou Zhihao and find another way to ensure that he would not be put in a passive position.
After all, he and Zhou Zhihao had only just met, and he had previously flaunted his wealth in front of the other party.
In this desolate and uninhabited place, he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't harbor ill intentions towards him!
One should always be wary of others; having survived three years in the apocalypse, he still possessed this level of vigilance.
After more than an hour on the mountain road, Zhou Zhihao stopped at a cliff shrouded in mist.
After catching his breath, he pointed to a crack at the bottom of the cliff and said:
"The water outlet is in a cave over there. Go see for yourself! Okay, I've brought you here. Pay up! I'm exhausted!"
Chen Yu squinted and carefully examined the crack.
The crack was very narrow, probably only wide enough for one person to pass through at most.
If he were to rush in alone, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
So he laughed and said, "Hehe, don't rush. I'm not familiar with the situation inside. You should help me out completely and take me in!"
Zhou Zhihao was somewhat displeased upon hearing this and complained, "What a nuisance!"
However, he was just grumbling and still led the way for Chen Yu. After all, the rest of the money was about to be in his hands, and there was no need to create any unnecessary complications at this time.
Following Zhou Zhihao's steps, Chen Yu carefully moved along the edge of the cliff and arrived at the crack.
Suddenly, a wave of heat mixed with the smell of sulfur hit us in the face.
Chen Yu squinted, and through the rising steam, he could vaguely see the wide space behind the crack.
On a sudden impulse, he took a headlamp out of his backpack and put it on.
Then he took out a high-brightness flashlight, turned it on, and handed it to Zhou Zhihao.
"Take it, it's too dark inside, don't fall," Chen Yu said.
Zhou Zhihao was somewhat surprised to see this.
He originally thought Chen Yu was just a curious tourist, but he didn't expect him to be so well-prepared.
However, Zhou Zhihao didn't think much of it. He couldn't care less what Chen Yu did; he just wanted to get his reward.
He put away his phone, which he had just turned on with the flashlight function, and took the flashlight from her.
Then, the two of them struggled to squeeze into the narrow crevice, one after the other.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher.
The scorching steam, mixed with the strong smell of sulfur, was almost suffocating.
After struggling to move several meters, they finally arrived at a relatively spacious cave entrance.
Zhou Zhihao climbed out first, followed closely by Chen Yu.
The cave was surprisingly spacious; Chen Yu roughly estimated that it was at least a thousand square meters in size.
Looking up, the cave ceiling is probably 10 meters above the ground!
With the help of his flashlight, Chen Yu saw that the cave walls were covered with crystal-clear mineral crystals that refracted colorful light.
Chen Yu couldn't help but recall an ancient poem: "At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and clear space."
However, this is not a paradise, at least not in the current situation of Chen Yu and his companion.
In the center of the cave, a small pool of water, nearly two meters in diameter, is bubbling with boiling water.
The steam it generated made the entire cave feel like a giant steamer, which was very uncomfortable.
The gurgling spring water indicates that its flow rate is quite large.
However, what puzzled Chen Yu was that so much water did not flow out of the cave, and even the inside of the cave was only slightly damp.
