Chapter 84 Cave
The next morning, after the fog dissipated, everyone packed their bags, left Dama Village, and set off again.
The mutant snakes are getting closer and closer, and Dr. Yu's notebook needs to be delivered to City G as soon as possible.
This is forced by the situation and is also Dr. Yu’s last wish.
So even though Yu Qingchuan was reluctant, he still followed the team on the journey.
Yu Qingchuan's luggage was very simple, consisting of only a larger mountaineering bag and a smaller black backpack.
The backpack contained two sets of winter clothes, two sets of summer clothes, a dozen bottles of water, and some bread, canned food and other instant foods.
The black backpack is filled with Dr. Yu’s research materials.
Although Yu Qingchuan was alone and had very little luggage, Qiao Yu did not let him get on their RV. Instead, he asked him to go to the back mountain and steal a military truck.
All the villagers in the back mountain have left.
I don’t know if it’s because of food shortage and they need to go out to find food, or because they have discovered traces of mutant snakes.
The car filled with three liters of gasoline that Qiao Yu had left behind was gone.
Qiao Yu gave Yu Qingchuan some gasoline and asked him to drive himself and follow them.
After the Lin family found out, they took the initiative to let Yu Qingchuan walk in front of them.
Anyway, Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi have recovered, and they have the walkie-talkies given by Qiao Yu, so they are not afraid of danger.
But Yu Qingchuan was alone.
They were afraid that something might happen if he stayed at the back of the convoy.
After many days, Qiao Yu finally picked up his atlas and started navigating.
The caravan continued to move at about the same pace as before, stopping every day at noon to chop wood.
Therefore, Qiao Yu still needs to find a new and suitable place to stay every day.
We continued to walk like this, stopping and starting for another half a month.
Qiao Yu finally saw the dense forest that she had been unable to avoid when she was designing the route.
As long as you pass through that dense forest, you can enter City G.
--
"Turn right at the next intersection."
Cheng Sinian turned in the direction pointed by Qiao Yu and found that there was another area with a high vegetation coverage rate in front of him.
"Qiao Yu, are you sure... you can walk here?"
Cheng Sinian looked at the path in front of him, which was blocked by dense mutant plants, with deep suspicion in his eyes.
“…” She wasn’t really sure.
but……
"Even if I can't leave, I have to go." Qiao Yu took a deep breath, "If I want to go to G City, I have to pass through here."
“But there’s almost no road…”
Cheng Sinian really didn't want to doubt Qiao Yu, but the entrance to the dense forest had been completely blocked by mutated plants.
It's hard for people to get in, let alone cars.
Jiang Zhan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Let everyone get out of the car and clear the way."
Qiao Yu nodded and sighed, "Although it will be slower, this is indeed the safest way."
Neither the Lin family nor Fang Lin could abandon their vehicles. They simply couldn't carry away so much supplies relying solely on manpower.
In the end times, supplies are equivalent to life.
No one will give up supplies easily.
"But you must be careful." Qiao Yu said seriously, "Now the alienation of plants has been completely completed. We don't know what kind of mutant plants we will encounter."
Cheng Sinian nodded, "Okay. I'll go call someone."
So, except for Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen who were ordered not to get out of the car by Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian, two wife-doting madmen, everyone else in the convoy quickly got out and went to clear the way ahead.
"Tsk——" an eagle's cry resounded through the sky.
Yu Qingchuan switched his form and went ahead to explore the way.
These days, Yu Qingchuan is basically the pioneer in exploring the way.
After all, his special ability is really convenient.
Moreover, he was exposed to everyone from the very beginning, and there was no need to hide it.
Everyone was vigilantly cutting various mutated plants with knives to clear a path, while waiting for Yu Qingchuan to come back with news.
"Tsk——" Half an hour later, another eagle cry was heard in the sky.
Yu Qingchuan's huge figure turned back and quickly landed next to the convoy, folding his wings and eagle claws.
"We can walk!" Yu Qingchuan said to Cheng Sinian, "Although the mutant plants outside are quite crowded, it's still quite spacious inside. I even saw several open spaces."
"It's just that this forest is quite large, and my physical strength is limited, so I dare not fly too far. I'll have to wait until next time to explore the area ahead."
The ability of mutants to switch forms is their superpower.
Like the aliens, once the energy in the crystal core is exhausted, the mutants will become very weak.
Therefore, they must ensure that the time it takes to switch forms is within their capabilities.
Otherwise, if an eagle variant like Yu Qingchuan ran out of energy while flying in the sky, he would probably fall to his death before being eaten by the alien species...
Cheng Sinian nodded, "As long as there is a road."
Anyway, Qiao Yu said that this is the only way to get to City G.
They are all "must-take" roads, so why bother about the situation? As long as there is a road to go, it's fine.
Everyone worked together to dig a big hole in the mutated plants surrounding the forest, which was large enough for the RV and transport truck to pass through. Then they got back into the car and entered the dense forest one after another.
The forest is indeed much more spacious.
Although there are still many mutated trees or plants squeezing and entangled with each other, there are still some gaps.
"We don't need to go too far." Qiao Yu looked at the gradually gathering fog ahead and said cautiously, "It's foggy. Let's find a place nearby and set up camp directly."
"good."
Cheng Sinian nodded, and walked around some plants for a few times, and finally found a cave.
The cave was located at the foot of a hillside. The entrance was very wide, but it was pitch black inside and it was difficult to see what was inside.
Qiao Yu looked at the surrounding environment and found that the cave was located in a sheltered area with some protruding rocks on both sides, which looked very safe.
Jiang Zhan used his mental power to investigate and found nothing unusual within his detection range.
It just looks like an empty cave.
However, this cave is somewhat similar to the cave in the mountain behind Dama Village. It is connected in all directions, but its area is much larger than the cave in the mountain behind Dama Village.
Even with Jiang Zhan's current second-level mental power, he couldn't detect the boundaries, which shows how wide its range is.
Cheng Sinian stopped the car at the entrance of the cave and raised his eyebrows. "How about I go in and take a look?"
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen's abilities have also broken through to the second level in the past half month.
There shouldn't be any problem if you go in and take a look.
"No need." Qiao Yu shook his head. "Let's go down and block the cave entrance, and then set up camp in this sheltered place outside the cave entrance."
By this time, the sky had darkened and the fog was getting thicker. It was obvious that we could no longer continue our journey.
Since we have to stay here tonight, what's the point of exploring it?
Anyway, there is nothing here at the entrance of the cave, and it is far away inside, so there shouldn't be too much danger.
Moreover, they only parked their car outside the cave and did not go in. Even if there was danger, they could escape quickly.
"Okay." Cheng Sinian nodded. This time he didn't get out of the car. He just picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke to Lin Yingjie.
Then Qiao Yu soon saw the Lin family and Fang Lin and the other three working tirelessly to fill the entrance of the cave with stones.
Qiao Yu looked at the group of free laborers, touched his chin, and sighed silently in his heart again: Fortunately, I saved them...
