Miaomiao Mountain is about 1,000 meters above sea level and has a large number of apricot trees planted on it. Every year from March to April, when the trees are in bloom, countless people go up the mountain to play. Before the apocalypse, it was a famous scenic spot.
Unfortunately, a meteorite shower wiped out almost all the flowers, grasses, and trees in the mountains, leaving only a few resilient or lucky plants struggling to survive.
It took the group more than two hours to reach the back of the mountain, but they found the entrance to the air-raid shelter in just over ten minutes.
The vines and trees at the entrance of the cave had been burned to ashes, but the two cement doors were still intact, though they also bore the marks of the fire.
Nanxing opened the door, shone his flashlight into the cave, and Yinzi pushed past him and went in first.
Banxia and the others quickly followed. There was a cement corridor that could allow two people to walk side by side. It was about 2 meters high and 15 meters long, with a small hole on each side. The group guessed that it was a sentry post.
At the end is a large door, behind which is a hall, approximately fifty square meters in size.
The group shone their flashlights around and found that the walls were made of cement, the ceiling of the cave was arched, and the walls on both sides were covered with writing.
Su Yao unconsciously read aloud: "XXX was here... XX will always love XX... XX and XX's life is one thing, but the character 'world' is misspelled. Did this elementary school student write this?"
Banxia and the others: ...
It's really not surprising at all.
The group continued walking into a corridor about fifty meters long, at the end of which was another large hall.
The ground was covered in trash: dust, dirt, food wrappers, clothes, small umbrellas, toilet paper, and even a few clumps of poop...
Banxia and the others said again: ...
There was a door in front of the hall, on the left and right, and the three families decided to go out separately.
Banxia's family continued forward, Su Yao's family went left, and Cai Yuan's family went right.
Banxia pushed open the door, and behind it was another long corridor, at the end of which was a hall of about one hundred square meters.
Nanxing clenched his fist and tapped the wall: "Wife, the wall is pretty sturdy, it should be okay to store supplies."
Silver glanced at him coldly, then stretched out its claw and scratched the wall, leaving a claw mark more than 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters deep.
Banxia was startled and quickly grabbed Yinzi's paw to check it carefully. Seeing that it was not injured, she patted its head helplessly: "Little naughty cat, don't bully your brother."
Silver nuzzled her face and gave a soft "meow".
Nanxing was already used to the two fluffy creatures in the house favoring one over the other. She shook her head and looked at Banxia, "There's no way out. Let's go back."
The two men returned to the previous hall with flashlights, and the others returned within two minutes.
Su Yao: "Behind the door is a corridor about twenty meters long and two water tanks, each about thirty square meters in area and three meters deep. The water tanks are completely dry."
Cai Yuan: "There is a set of stairs leading down from the entrance, and at the end of the stairs are three large halls, each about 50 square meters."
The group mentally calculated the area of the air-raid shelter and realized it could hold at least half of their family's supplies, which relieved them.
Su Xiao opened her thermos and took a sip of ice water: "The temperature inside the cave is lower than outside, making it more suitable for storing supplies than at home."
For every kilometer increase in altitude, the temperature drops by about six degrees Celsius.
In addition, the air-raid shelter is located inside the mountain, so it is indeed much cooler than outside.
"Meow--"
Yinzi glanced at Su Xiao's cup, called out to Banxia, and gestured that she wanted to drink water too.
Banxia quickly took out a thermos and poured more than half a cup of water into Yinzi's mouth. After Yinzi swallowed the water, she asked, "Yinzi, how about I trim your fur a little when we get home?"
Silver shook its head frantically in refusal, even unconsciously taking two steps back. It didn't want to be a bald cat!
Banxia pinched its big ears. If Yinzi didn't want to, so be it. Anyway, it spent most of its time in the space and wouldn't get too hot.
The air-raid shelter was in much better condition than they had imagined, so they decided to clean it up as soon as possible and move half of the supplies there.
Not many people are needed to clean up, so Banxia stayed at home to prepare supplies for the air-raid shelter.
Unpalatable rice and noodles, clothes that don't last long...
Wrap everything up layer by layer with plastic film.
With the supplies sorted out, transportation became another problem.
A journey of more than two hours is nothing, but a person can only carry so much.
Banxia set her sights on the two furry creatures in the house. Jinzi and Yinzi were strong, and hundreds of kilograms of things were like play to them.
The neighboring Su Yao family and the Cai Yuan family across the street followed suit.
After the supplies were transferred, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Banxia," the Devouring Tree said, one branch wrapped with ice cream and the other with a spicy rabbit head, "the crystal core purification is complete, it's time to upgrade your abilities."
Banxia subconsciously looked at Nanxing, who was peeling grapes for her.
Nanxing popped the peeled grapes into her mouth: "Wife, you and Tiantian can level up without worry, I'll protect you."
When a superhuman levels up, they lose consciousness, meaning they have no ability to protect themselves.
In their past lives, many people with superpowers lost their lives at the crucial moment of leveling up.
Banxia kissed Nanxing's cheek: "I'll probably need a day. Don't worry about me if I encounter any danger. I can protect myself."
Wood-type abilities tend to be more supportive, focusing on growth, healing, and purification, while their offensive methods and power are quite limited.
However, her wood-type ability mutated due to her rebirth, and its attack power is no less than that of lightning, metal, fire, and other attack-type abilities.
If anyone dares to ambush her while she's leveling up, she won't be the one who dies.
She took three sets of each type of firearm from the space and gave them to Nanxing, and then prepared plenty of ammunition before returning to her bedroom with peace of mind.
