The two hurried back and pulled Xu Chuan away. During the journey, the girl briefly explained their discovery to Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan: "Is there someone underground?"
Qin Liang: "Yes. Qiqi and I both heard it. The sound came from underground."
Xu Chuan frowned immediately: "Could it be that someone is buried underneath?"
Qin Liang: "How is that possible?"
If there was someone buried underneath, they would probably call for help anxiously.
But the sound was like someone was rummaging through something inside, and it didn't sound dangerous at all.
Qiqi: "Let's get out of here. I think there might be a group of NPCs down there."
During the day, she heard many people say that NPCs suddenly appeared from the ground, and she suddenly became very nervous.
Xu Chuan: "Uh, that's just a rumor."
He had not yet joined the two men at the time, but he was already at the scene. However, he noticed something was wrong in advance and left decisively.
I didn't expect it to be spread like this later.
He thought about it and still felt a little uneasy, so he stopped and said, "Maybe there really is someone buried down there."
Although Qin Liang refuted him at the beginning, Xu Chuan was still worried. After all, this man's character was evident from the inhibitor incident.
Saving people is not an easy task, and Qin Liang may have concealed the truth for his own convenience.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them had just rushed back, Xu Chuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"No, I want to go back and take a look."
Qin Liang thought he was worrying for nothing and shouted, "What are you going back for? I told you no one's buried there. What if it's really a bomb shelter or tunnel built by NPCs?"
Qiqi: "Qin Liang, don't get excited..."
Qin Liang paused, then quickly lowered his voice and said angrily, "Do you want to let them out and chase us again?"
Xu Chuan was speechless: "...This is the city."
The implication is: air-raid shelters are usually built on mountains. This is an urban area, how could they be built here?
Qin Liang's face darkened immediately, and he said bluntly, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"Qin Liang..." Qiqi only then realized that the aura between the two of them was not right. She tugged at Qin Liang's sleeve and signaled him to speak less.
She looked at Xu Chuan again and gently reminded him, "Brother Xiao Chuan, we still need to find a place to rest tonight."
Qin Liang folded his arms and sneered, "Yeah, you were just urging us on, weren't you?"
Xu Chuan pursed his lips, speechless.
Qianyue, who was underground, had no idea that she almost caused an internal conflict within the team.
At this moment, she was crouching down and looking for something in the ruins.
An hour ago, Qianyue was building a shelter for herself, but she never expected that when she was halfway through digging the shelter, a hole suddenly appeared.
Qianyue was curious for a moment and thought it was a tunnel dug by predecessors, so she bent down and crawled down.
Later she discovered that this was not actually a tunnel, but a gap formed due to various reasons after the collapse of the ruins.
"Bandages, cold medicine..."
Qianyue struggled to lie on the ground, holding a flashlight while stuffing all the useful things within her sight into her bag.
So far, she has collected quite a few things, from blankets and sweaters to hairpins and medicines.
Qianyue muttered, "Before it collapsed, this place was probably a community market, wasn't it?"
She gave up in disappointment until her backpack could no longer hold anything. She crawled on the ground and slowly backed away.
At the beginning, this passage was about half a person's height. Qianyue crawled in along the gap, but soon her way was blocked by ruins.
Qianyue had already picked up a few things at that time, but since it was a rare opportunity to come down, she thought about continuing to search downstairs and started to move things.
Finally, the sound reached the ground and became what the three people heard.
So in reality, it's not that someone is buried, nor that there are NPCs living underground, but Qianyue is just digging for treasure in a strange way_(:D)∠)_
A few minutes later, Qianyue retreated from the passage and returned to the cat ear hole she had dug earlier.
The flashlight was still on, illuminating most of the cave.
Because the hole is so small, so small that you have to be careful even to turn around.
Qianyue waited patiently for two seconds, and after making sure that there was no one outside, she carefully stretched out a hand from the gap, moved away the baffle she had placed on the outside, and then used a piece of table board she had picked up to seal the hole leading inside.
When the baffle was pulled, the sand and gravel outside fell down sparsely, and a lot of it jumped into the hole.
It was already night, and the cold moonlight poured in from the window-sized hole. Qianyue turned off the flashlight, turned around, took out the blanket she had just collected from her backpack, threw it out and spread it on the floor.
The hole was too small and the blanket was too big, so most of it fell onto the wall, and the gravel and debris on the blanket also fell down with it.
"...or maybe it would be better to take it outside and shake it out first?"
Qianyue hesitated for a moment, but in the end laziness defeated the pursuit of comfort.
She hastily brushed the things aside and lay down against the wall.
A few minutes later...
"Grass."
Qianyue put the blanket into her backpack and crawled out in a panic.
It really isn't a place for people to stay.
The place where Qianyue lives now is called Cat Ear Cave*.
Although its name seems to be related to cats and sounds cute, it is actually a special product for war situations that Qianyue learned from people on other planets when she was out on an expedition a long time ago.
However, when she saw this thing, the place had already become a war site specially preserved for future generations to visit.
At that time, the teacher in charge joked that it looked a bit like a cave in the mountains, and that it might be useful for future field trips. Qianyue took the opportunity to learn about its structure, but had never experienced it personally.
At that time, the commentator said that this place was cramped to live in, but Qianyue didn't believe it. After all, they had slept in all kinds of places outside.
But now…
Qianyue took out the blanket and shook it, then wandered around outside for a while. Only after she felt her breathing was unobstructed did she sigh and go back into the cave.
I heard that there are two reasons why cat ear holes are called cat ear holes.
One reason is that the shape of the cave entrance generally looks like an upright cat ear, about one meter high, and can accommodate three to five people - but in fact this is considered the most luxurious configuration. Most of the "cat ear holes" left on the battlefield are shaped according to local conditions.
Another theory is that the cave is damp, dark, small, and cramped, so that one can only curl up in it like a cat.
Obviously, due to lack of time in the afternoon, Qianyue's current residence is closer to the latter.
In terms of appearance, this cat ear cave is a bit similar to the snow cave she dug in the first copy. It was dug on the slope of a trench.
However, considering air circulation and heat preservation, a snow cave needs to first dig a corridor and then dig an inner chamber upwards. However, the inner chamber of a cat ear cave does not have so many requirements and is a bit like a miniature air-raid shelter.
In order to prevent it from being discovered, Qianyue deliberately dug the hole a little lower, and the entrance was opened at the very top. It was usually covered with a piece of wood, and from the outside it still looked no different from ruins.
However, one needs to be extra careful when entering and exiting the cave, because Qianyue has placed several anti-theft door panels that he had found before above his head.
These metal security doors are strong enough to effectively withstand the collapse of the ruins above or the collapse caused by the explosion, so that she will not be buried inside.
In addition, table legs, chair legs and other things were also used as reinforcement tools. The entire "house" was almost entirely pieced together with things from the ruins.
Qianyue sighed, leaned against the wall, put her hands behind her head, looked out from the gap in the cave, and murmured, "I hope it can hold on for a few more days."
Time passed quickly and the next day came in the blink of an eye.
Qianyue was a little surprised when she woke up in the morning because last night was Christmas Eve.
"They didn't attack at night. They still have some conscience."
When the five minutes were up, new supplies were distributed. Qianyue didn't know what to do, so she simply sat up and counted the supplies.
But before that, she stood up and carefully sealed the entrance of the cave, pretending that there was nothing here - she didn't want to be blocked by the natives in the cave.
After the things were put there, the light in the cave suddenly dimmed, but fortunately Qianyue had left air holes in other places, so there was still enough air and light for a short time.
She opened her backpack and took inventory, and here's what she found:
Brown bread x26, Isatis root x7, bandage x4, anti-inflammatory drug x3, mental suppressant x10, knife x1, flint x1, screw x1, nylon rope x1, gas mask x1, mask x1, anti-wolf flashlight x1.
And a bunch of small things that Qianyue picked up from the depths of the ruins last night, but could not fit in her backpack and had to be piled in the cave.
For example, crushed instant noodles and biscuits, etc., these things have no substantial use in restoring stats, but they can occasionally change the taste and satisfy your cravings.
As for the medicines found in the pharmacy, Qianyue also tried them all, and finally found out with regret that although they had the same names as the prop medicines, they did not have the effects of the system props and could only be used as ordinary medicines.
The effects are slow to take effect and are difficult to guarantee, often only restoring 1-2 health points. Aside from special effects like anti-inflammatory drugs, collecting other medicines is of little value.
So later, Qianyue wrapped all the bandages she found around her arms, legs and feet.
After all, the cat-ear cave was built in the ruins, so there were bound to be bumps and bruises as she moved. At least wrapping it with bandages would prevent her from getting a few more scratches like she had yesterday with the nylon rope.
“Ahem…”
Feeling that the dust in the air was increasing again, Qianyue took out the gas mask and put it on her face, and her breathing immediately became much smoother.
She doesn't use this thing all the time, just to ensure that she won't get a negative respiratory infection due to air quality at critical moments.
If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining durability should be able to last through most of the dungeon.
As for other supplies...
Qianyue was a little worried: "I'm afraid this is not enough."
Although she seemed to have quite a bit of stuff on hand, the dungeon's consumption rate was alarming. When she opened Lin Zhengzhi's bag yesterday, the two of them had more than forty loaves of bread combined.
However, after opening the character page, her heart sank.
His physical strength and health were almost at the bottom, and his mental state, the only thing that was still relatively good, was also rapidly declining under the influence of the harsh environment.
Just replenishing her status took up a lot of her supplies.
After Qianyue finished digging the cat ear hole, I looked at her character's condition again and found that she was completely numb.
Qianyue held her chin in her hand and said, "If things continue like this, the supplies we have may not be able to last the remaining nine days."
To be on the safe side, it’s better to stock up on some more things if you have the chance.
But Qianyue couldn't think of any other good way to collect supplies for the time being - wait, does this dungeon have such an option? Isn't it just possible to buy from Duobao Merchant?
At this moment, Qianyue finally remembered Qi Feng, who had been forgotten in some corner long ago.
She pondered, "Maybe you can give me a discount based on our previous blind date?"
Although they only shook hands once during the whole process.
