As soon as the group finished speaking, everyone stared in disbelief at the thick fog in the distance. Although they couldn't see clearly outside yet, the "whooshing" sound of water proved what the group had said.
"What? It really cracked open? Does that mean we're going to be trapped here? And we're surrounded by mountains. If we want to get out, we'll have to climb over these two mountains, or we'll just have to stay here!"
Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He was worried, but he also felt that it was as if God was playing a joke on him. He was speechless.
If that's really the case, then there's not much of a problem for them to stay here now. After all, Lu Yuan already has plants that have been improved in the dimensional space. As long as they are planted in large quantities, they can live a life free from worries about food and clothing.
However, communicating with the outside world is extremely difficult, since communication tools are now completely ineffective, and the only exit is a huge rift valley several hundred meters wide.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart sank. He then disregarded his family's objections and followed the others towards the rift valley.
Upon reaching the rift valley, the group saw a section of the canyon that had been torn in two at its exit, with a crack of unknown width lying across the ground before them.
Looking down into the bottomless canyon, it seemed as if a giant beast was waiting to devour them. Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt his legs go weak and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Not only Lu Yuan had this feeling, but everyone else did too. After all, about ten meters below the valley, there was already a thick fog. Although the fog was white, everyone felt as if there was a bottomless abyss below.
Standing beside Lu Yuan, Song Heng couldn't help but lean down and look down at the edge of the ravine. However, just as he squatted down, several pieces of gravel, unable to withstand the pressure, crashed down with a whoosh, startling Song Heng so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and took a few steps back.
"Damn, this is so deep! There's still no sound of the stone falling down!" Song Heng pressed his ear to the ground, listening for the sound of the stone falling, but after a long time, there was still no sound of the stone hitting the bottom. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Could it be that the entire underground has cracked open? How deep must the cracks be to form such a rift valley!" Professor Zhu, standing to the side, couldn't help but shudder.
Lu Yuan knew that this place was still extremely dangerous, so to prevent any further accidents, he waved to the people there, signaling everyone to leave temporarily.
So, apart from Professor Zhu and a few others who were quite interested in the rift valley, the rest of the group wanted to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible, since the terrain here was extremely treacherous.
Moreover, since the ground had just broken off, they had no idea how dangerous the area was. If they stood on the edge and couldn't withstand the pressure, the cliff would break off again, and they would all perish in the rift valley.
Back at his residence, Lu Yuan told everyone what he had witnessed. His family was also extremely shocked, as everyone present had experienced firsthand how strong the earthquake had been. No one knew the magnitude of the earthquake yet, but Lu Yuan was certain that it was definitely above magnitude nine, and might even have reached magnitude ten.
Because of the loss of contact with the outside world, the radio seemed to be interfered with as well. Lu Yuan tried tuning the radio to several channels but heard no response. All the channels just made a chattering sound.
Lu Yuan held the radio and tried to change and adjust the antennas one by one, but still couldn't hear any sound. So he had no choice but to put the radio aside.
"Damn it, we've completely lost contact with the outside world. We have no idea what's going on outside. Are we really going to be trapped here?"
As Lu Yuan spoke, his brows furrowed deeply. He knew that being trapped here for a short time was not a big deal, since there was food and everyone would not starve. However, if they were trapped here for a long time, and if some other disaster occurred, they would really have no choice but to wait for death in Death Valley.
The mountains on both sides are about 3,000 meters above sea level, making it very difficult to cross. Since this place is located in western China, it is much lower than coastal cities. At an altitude of about 1,500 meters, there is already snow all year round. Moreover, both places are barren mountains with no man-made passages.
The only way to get there now is to climb outwards along the snow-capped mountains, but this greatly increases the danger and difficulty, since the two mountains on either side are made of hard rock, making it extremely difficult to carve out a path.
Especially now in the apocalypse, various tools are in short supply. Even before the apocalypse, the country had never excavated these two mountains, since they were located in a remote and desolate area, and there was no point in building roads there.
After all, there was no place to stay here. This used to be a wasteland and a woodland. Before Lu Yuan came, this was a woodland planted with economic trees such as sycamore and poplar. However, the high temperatures in recent years have killed most of the trees here, and now there are dead trees everywhere.
